Re: We didn't lose the final because of tactics

Perhaps Tbite’s understanding of the term “tactics” differs from basic English… :lol: Even how you use (or not use) players, including how they exert (or not exert) energy is a tactic! You are digressing strangely. I am stating that our tactics need not have changed , not that games can be won with...

Re: We didn't lose the final because of tactics

Do you know how many crosses we have neutralised in previous games? We are extremely good at nullifying crosses. Watch the Cameroon game in particular. From the first 10 minutes, Kessie was already dominating the flank, Adringa did not merely deliver a few crosses here and there. There was an onslau...

Re: Alex Iwobi to retire from the SE?

It should be a crime for any footballer to be that talented and sit on a bench. A bloody crime. He is one or those footballers that thinks he can coast on talent. Moses Simon that at best has 60% of his talent benched him. In a normal world, Moses Simon can never bench Samu. Moses Simon is a regiona...

Re: Alex Iwobi to retire from the SE?

Chukwueze is worse than Iwobi and in more than one way. Chukwueze is one of the most innately talented footballers I have ever seen! The word talent is thrown around too easily, most of the time. Samu is the definition of talent. His close control is one of the best I have ever seen among all footba...

We didn't lose the final because of tactics

Peseiro's tactics were good enough to win the final. We are making a very simple mistake. Nigeria did not get to the final because we were not tested. The hole in the midfield was NOT a glaring weakness. It was NOT the issue. Peseiro's team was not a team that played on the backfoot. They did not ce...

Failure of individual events have lost their sting for me

When I was young every individual incident that happened in Nigeria, would be like a fresh sting. I remember 2005 on my birthday when my dad told me we didn't qualify for the world cup, it made me damn near depressed. But to be honest, I've stopped seeing failures in Nigeria, footballing and otherwi...

Re: Many SE players to retire

Bullying players is wrong.

I actually messaged Musa some weeks back and was very respectful.

Of course I yab them on ce, but it's a pretty dumb idea for a player to come on ce. This is a fan forum, it is not made for the players. They shouldn't come here.

They thoroughly deserved their win. I think most of you arr missing his point. He is not saying they didn't earn the win.

Re: Why do our politicians constantly go visit the team in the dressing room during a tournament

But Nigerian culture in general favours position over process. Western societies favour process over position. So it makes sense in Nigeria to always put your face everywhere even if it disrupts the process. Nigerian leaders are closer to traditional monarchs than elected public officials. Our leade...

Re: Iwobi needs to be phased OUT

Not sure what formation or even tactics have to do with basic technical ability. He couldn't even play simple passes, and no it's not just in this game. A player could be a few yards away and Iwobi would mess up the pass, what does that have to do with positioning? The player is average. Maybe in hi...

Re: Hosts in AFCON Finals

It is naive to think that home advantage is limited. It is considerable. We didn't lose the game today purely on tactics as many think. Our players lacked any energy and desire, which they had in Every single other game. What changed? I don't mean the midfield or the flanks which Kessie and the dimi...

Chukwueze doesn't seem like he will ever reach his potential. Simon Moses funnily enough has LESS talent than Samu but achieves far more!!!! Samu is wasting his talent. If only talent can be donated. I'd take Samus talent and gift it to Ola Aina or better yet Onyeka. Samu has talent on the level of ...
