Onyemaechi and Simon not on the same wavelength. Good ideas though
We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand
Roy Keane: ITV 02/25/14

He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.

I think Spain’s by far the best league.

No TV station showing the match in Nigeria and FIFA plus is also geo blocked. Sad.

Iwobi is still too deep. I see 0-0 written all over this game.

Watch him score a hat-trick.
He’s a professional football player. If he’s good enough, you start him. It’s not like the bench is full of world beaters.
And if he has a stinker, we will crucify him and warn the coach not to call him up again. Sounds familiar?

I like Iwobi's deep lying role. He should have more of an opportunity to direct play when he can drop to receive the ball vs waiting for people to get it to him

The SE defense must watch the Zimbabwe attacking runs... they can be dangerous.

So he will take the ball deep and pass to someone LESS creative than him to deliver the final pass? Or play a long ball? I don't like it at all. He's wasted there in my opinion.

We have a problem in the defensive midfield area. Balls get through too easily.

Knee-jerk reaction lineup. Too many changes and too many risks
Nonetheless, I hope I'm wrong and our team wins.

So far, this game looks no different from my sunday naija league in Maryland. I will be off to church in a few minutes. Good luck to the SEs nonetheless.

Iwobi is no DM. We all know that. It should be Onyeka, Onyedika, and Iwobi in the middle.

The running behind the central defenders is something to pay attention to. Ajayi and Bassey look a bit slow to me.

But overall no clear chances have been created so far

Search for it on Facebook and watch. That's what I'm doing now.
