I know this makes me old, but we are playing the way the Rangers of the Christian Chukwu-Emeka Okala era used to play. I hope we win like they used to despite being outplayed.

1. Chukwueze is yet to get into this game putting pressure on Aina and Iwobi to work deeper.
2. We need to get the balls to Lookman and Chukwueze, not lob to Osimeh. Osimeh will commit lots of fouls on tussling with defenders...but it's also a chance we should take to make the ivorian defenders be under constant pressure and cave in subsequenbtly
3. Zanusi needs to calm down...
4. Lookman needs to work more...
Simon Moses, needs to replace Chukwueze.

Nigeria is leading. Got to play the best football in the 2nd half. Bring in Iheanacho, and Simon in the 70th minutes. Subs will be important.
Iheanacho for who? And to do what?

Simon and Iheanacho in
Chukwuze and Lookman out.
If we are leading and need to see out the game bring in Omeruo and Yusuf for Iwobi and Osimhen.

Going for a red card. Aurier is the obvious bet, heart says Serge, head says follow the heart. Mouthwatering odds on Fofana, all in, that’s a bargain.
8 corners and two goals in the last 12 minutes of regulation. Accumulator.

I think he's been their most dangerous player so far. Aina may need some cover to keep him under wraps.

This Andingra is pretty good. That battle vs AIna is a good one.

From what I have seen of Chukwueze .. definitely.

We have been as poor as the referee in the game so far. Hope they turn things around.
Ivory coast forwards have been poor.
A better team would have punished us on the right wing by now.
Indeed, and a lot is coming from the wings, especially Aina's; plus our midfield duo of Onyeka and Iwobi are consistently overrun.

Come on Super Eagles stick to the game plan. Soak up on defense and take your shots on goal

Stadium is oddly quiet. Sense of de ja vu creeping into the orange minds. There a real awe of Nigeria and Ekong has just freaked them out.

Like others, would like to see Simon come on at some point and maybe Moffi or Kele.
If Yusuf comes on anytime soon, it should be to play with Onyeka and Iwobi and not to replace one of them.
