Re: Nigeria vs Benin (3-0) Lookman x2 , Osimhen FT

My suggestions going forward: One of Onyedika or Onyeka needs to bench Ndidi. Simon needs to bench the better talented but ineffective Chukwueze and FDB needs to split time with Iwobi. Good suggestions but I would still start Ndidi and sub him around the 60th minute. He played really well in the fi...

Re: Benin 2 (Dossou, Mounie) Nigeria 1(Onyedika)

1. Ndidi is ruining our DM. He's not providing anything positive going forward. Defending-wise, he's a tad slow
2. Ajayi's nonchalance is jaw-dropping
3. How did Chukweze and Lukman go to sleep?
4. Our players not tracking back to defend?

Re: Nigeria vs South Africa (1-1) FT

What game were you watching when you say SA outplayed Nigeria? SA was lucky to.escape with a draw. We created more chances and had greater possession. The group is wide open. Every team mathematically still has a chance to qualify. It is not all Finidi fault. Players not coming to camp early. You h...

Re: Nigeria vs CIV (1-0) Ekong HT

1. Chukwueze is yet to get into this game putting pressure on Aina and Iwobi to work deeper. 2. We need to get the balls to Lookman and Chukwueze, not lob to Osimeh. Osimeh will commit lots of fouls on tussling with defenders...but it's also a chance we should take to make the ivorian defenders be u...

Re: Nigeria vs South Africa (0-0) HT

1. Iwobi is not getting us forward.
2. Osayi is loosing his positions and allowing SAs to either close him down, or getting behind him
3. Balls are not getting to our wingers enough

Re: 10 observations I have after the Guinea-Bissau game

Notes [1] Stanley Nwabali has cemented his place as our number one for the next five years - He's decent so far, but I don't think he's in the likes of Enyeama for example. Our search may still continue [2] I am disappointed in Bright Osayo-Samuel. I was really expecting him to tear the Equatorial G...

Re: 343 v GB?

I think thats the smart thing to do. The more we play with it, the better at it we get and it will become very important in the latter stages. Although I'll do it this way: Ekong———-Ajayi————Bassey Aina————Onyeka——Yusuf———-Zaidu Iwobi ———-Vic————Lookman Interesting...Iwobi was a bit short in paces ...

Re: Nigeria v KSA. Starting lineup and game thread

My Tots. 1. Our Central Defense is not strong enough... will cave in under pressure 2. Wingbacks - Ebuehi should rest abeg 3. Midfield - we are still in search of the right fit to combine with Ndidi. Iwobi has lost mobility, and I did not see those passes that moved us towards the goal 4. We may be ...
