Reports are that Yusuf, Nacho and Troost have all resumed full training with the team. Should Yusuf start and how does he fit into 343/352 formation? Nacho replacing Chukwueze on the right is like the best move but will Nacho be able to handle the defensive responsibilities in a 343? Chukwueze wasn...

Anyone who didn’t play in the first round will take a while to acclimatize to the brutal heat and humidity……

SE has had a poor start to the AFCON…. With all the attacking talent (most dropping off injured like flies), we have only scored 1 (one) goal from open play BUT the most maligned defence… has considered 1 (one) goal all tournament…..as well?? That led to a second place finish….. This might sound ba...

This time two years ago we were looking past Tunisia after we flattered to deceive with 9 points

Flattered to deceive? I'm not so sure. We outplayed Tunisia on the day. We were very unlucky in that game.

No argument, yet we lost

The interim coach is an ex international who played at the 2006 WC and multiple ANCs

I really feel like this has all the makings of a classic….

Stranger things have happened….they’ve fired the coach and IF they get a second chance I wouldn’t want to meet them next….

Welcome to Cybereagles!

I agree with you that we’re playing well and creating chances which we really need to start converting, however I’m not so bullish about playing Cameroon!

Local “derbies” vs Ghana/CIV/Cameroon aren’t necessarily about who’s playing well because they can be chaotic.

Prof some thoughts on the game: I feel the back 3 takes away from our midfield especially against a team like GB who weren’t looking to be adventurous, it made more sense vs the hosts and the result/performance justified it We played a more ambitious EG with a back 4 and 3 in midfield, dominated pos...

Still don’t know why Osimhen’s goal was disallowed…..?

Aribo looks off the pace….

I’m not sure 3 at the back is necessary against this unadventurous GB

We need an extra body in midfield

I thought ALL our boys dealt with the weather conditions and African jambodi physicality better than any recent game I can recall; even better than our recent WCQs

I think Peseiro was somewhat forced into the lineup once Alhassan became unavailable, he clearly doesn’t trust Onyedika but today’s shape allowed him to fit Bassey in….

I expect Uzoho to play next game along with anyone who hasn’t started or played yet….

We have 4 points and have qualified

Expect a lot of changes…..

Charley!!
After a forgettable first half this second half is absolutely MENTAL……

Kudus does what Kudus does……1-0

Please abeg una, don’t question these boys’ commitment again…….CIV ran out of energy and ideas because there was no road

Interesting reading all the responses here….. For me this glass is half full; the coach made most of the changes people asked for: 1.) Replaced Uzoho with Nwabali, jury is still out given EG had one chance and scored from it but it was absolutely the right call 2.) Switched from 4-4-2 to 4-3-3 with...
