Re: Let's Revisit the 3-4-3 formation.

I think it made us stronger defensively but weakened our attack in this tournament. We will continue to struggle against quality opponents with this formation. For it to be successful, we need a Mikel type midfielder who can defend as well as be very effective as a AM. Iwobi is most effective as an...

Re: Too much negativity..

FFS we have some utterly entitled and delusional people on this forum. Nigeria 🇳🇬 finished 2nd in a 24 team tournament. Only the host nation finished above Nigeria (even then - Nigeria beat said host nation earlier in the tournament). The only way Nigeria would have won was to do something that has...

Re: Nigeria vs CIV (1-2) Ekong , Kessie, Haller FT

Best team won. Haller scoring, fate. What a turnaround for the chap. Deserves it. Bitterly disappointing, ultimately, too big an occasion for too tired minds. Did JP make best use of his squad? Was any moment ever that comfortable as to allow for rest and rotation? To borrow for the urbanics, “bare...

Re: Too much negativity..

Every single loss, the moaning begins. As if Nigeria is ordained to win every game. FOH. These kids played their hearts out in every single game in this tourney and defied the expectations of most of these pot bellied arm chair "analysts" moaning in this forum had before the tournament sta...
