Re: Appreciating but Tempering the Alhassan Hype.

Yusuf responsible for the goal ? Lol No that was Onyeka who was standing around ball watching. Even Iwobi was more responsible. You are looking at the direct action that lead to the goal. I’m talking about the bad movement and tactics that lead to that direct action. We had lumped the ball forward ...

Re: Nigerian fans are making the SE nervous

I am not surprised at allllll to read this. In fact I would have guessed it in post game analysis. We were not playing free at alll. The 2 worst culprits were Aribo and Samu. They were overthinking.

Re: Yusuf on his debut

I made my observation about Yusuf on another thread but i will copy it here.

He needs more refining/coaching. He’s a player who can do a job

Re: Appreciating but Tempering the Alhassan Hype.

I have actually been quiet because I saw all these things during the game. First, I was concerned he was the #8 and Onyeka was holding. I thought it should have been switched. He was running way too much in the first half especially when we got to the final third. He also made some bad decisions wit...

Onyeka's passing is his weakest point.

Re: Is it TOO LATE to switch to 4-5-1?

I still believe our best options are 3-5-2 and 3-4-2-1. We have to play a back 3. In Bassey and Awaziem, we have ready made LCB and RCB. Ajayi/Ekong/Omeruo are very good at playing in the Central role. Bassey and Awaziem are comfortable enough on the ball that in games we dominate possession, they c...

Re: Peseiro names 25 man 2023 AFCON squad

My main issue with the list.....

Moffi over Sadiq then maybe Tella over Musa.

The goalkeepers and the midfield are a bit meh....but it's whats to be expected.

I am really shocked about Moffi.

Re: Nigeria vs Lesotho - CAF FIFA World Cup Q 2026 (0-0) HT

A very disappointing half. I have a lot of expectations for Iwobi and based on that, he had a very strange half. Jamilu was in acres of space on 3 occasions and Iwobi looked him off for the safe possession pass. He was like that during the october break. He no longer wants to be daring with his forw...

Re: Orban has abruptly stopped performing

He gave a poignant press conference after this game with some thinly veiled shots at his manager while voicing out his frustrations at not scoring and not starting. He tried to be professional but some of the comments will make the headlines no doubt.

Re: DAMN we have a HUGE Goalkeeping problem.........

I thought you were a little harsh on Moffi and Aribo. Aribo especially. I thought he had a spectacular first half. He along with Onyeka.

Surprise also no love for Bruno who i think is the first name on the squad sheet heading to AFCOPN based on this international break perforace.

Re: Will Antonio Conte be a good coach for Osimhen?

Conte is not a fit for that Napoli team. Not just Victor but the team as a whole. Depends on how you view it. Structurally, yes you could say he is not a fit, but team organization in the modern game is very fluid. 4-3-3, 3-5-2, 3-4-4; these are just numbers... Tactically, he is similarly as aggres...
