It is hard for me to believe that a team will spend 2 weeks in camp and not practice set-pieces. What else would they be doing all that time?

Biko bring in Simmy or even Musa to striker ... we need to give this back line something to worry about

Not about practice. We dont have the players with the technic.

Ighalo with a flick of a header. Lacks power

Musa coming on for Iwobi. Wow.
2 of the finest indigenous coaches Nigeria ever had lost in a space of 4 days. Dear Lord, is this a sign that you are taking away from us what we failed to appreciate? I pray for forgiveness of our sins. I pray for the humility to recognize our wrongs and the humbleness and wisdom to right our ways.

REST IN PEACE COACH STEPHEN KESHI!!! REST IN PEACE COACH AMODU SHAIBU!!!

We've gone from one dimensional long balls to pressing via Moses from the right flank. Musa is coming in

The other team was also training how to defend set-pieces..........................damn, is CE full of football-know-nothings?
