Nigeria 1vs 2 Algeria: FT

[ohsee]

And Ighalo is still 100% useless. How did the vaunted Jamilu Collins allow Mahrez to use him to drink garri like that? I pray we are better in the second half. This first have does not promise much.

[The YeyeMan]

Our attacking patterns are non-existent.

Yeah, no rhyme or rhythm ..
Iwobi literally ran the ball into a dead end there no one pulling defenders...

Yup.

[zakixxtra]

The coach's tactic is so wrong. A game like this you come out all attack

[zee]

Etebo and Ndidi are being outplayed in the middle. They need to shake off their markers and give options for a pass.

Our coward coach setup a cowardly system......................and most smart coaches have figured it out.

[Cellular]

Just saw a shot of the stats.

Stats can lie sha.

[ohsee]

Totally deserved lead by the way.

Yep. They were simply better. And without their usual shenanigans too.

[The YeyeMan]

no one dare blame the coach. sometimes just understand that your opponents are equally as good as you and support your team

Shut up, coward. The coach needs to his his pay right now.

[maceo4]

If you have a player of Chukwueze talent and cannot figure out how to isolate play and deploy him... your credential is questionable...

Samu has sucked, how can you blame the coach for that?

Stop talking nonsense................He is among our best players today, but I expect him to be miles better.

Simple question, has he beat his marker on his wing once? I’ve counted at least 3 times he was easily dispossessed.

[Its a Goal]

But seriously what was Ekong attempting to do with the hip kick gifting Algeria the goal?

[zee]

The coach's tactic is so wrong. A game like this you come out all attack

Kpom.....................the man is a coward.

[oloye]

It was imperative we score first cos Algeria is well organised defensively. Well, we did it against Cameroon so let's go.

Ighalo seems a tad too slow for this game. Jam body footy won't work against these guys. Not sure where Samu is playing, he doesn't seem to have space to operate.

If he did not play, they will kill the coach, fans are always right oh. Not play Samu after the South Africa game.. You sef

[Enyi]

Well....time to throw on Moses, Kalu, Onuacho and we can go out peacefully....this team is poor and not because there is no talent just cos the coach is clueless

Whatever they decide to throw into this game, it must not include Onuachu, you need fast, clever and ni be players to run around the Algerians, not a static bean pole

Oloye.... do u see Onyekuru, Oshimen coming in?.......u must admit that this coach is not it.....Algeria should be 3-0 up....

The coach has no clue, u have 35 goal a season strikers on the bench and u are playing Musa, Ighalo, Moses, Onuacho and half fit Kalu....come on. We don’t have a chance....

Semifinal is the least we get at AFCON... then the true coaches come out....Rohr is a cheerleader...clueless

[Odas]

Let's see what happens in the second half. We better correct are weaknesses, else ...

This one keeps saying let's see what happens...we've been seeing it, but you choose to turn a blind eye..we are clueless going foward... zero control, cannot hold the ball and only hope for a quick break....too much pressure on the pathetic defense..Awazie, Omerou and Ekong have all made mistakes....they are having too much to do..fyi ekong is another trash player

You too dey make mout. Na wetin you sabi do sef?

[highbury]

Why isn't Robbynice merging the two threads since they are the same? Biased moderator

[marko]

Algeria have done their home work well it seems, still cant work out our formation, well there is still hope but they have to step up, take the game to them

[Coach]

Algeria the better team. Its like Argentina vs Nigeria all over again, professional vs amateurs. A game that a master technician earns his money but we know Rohr is not. They have been limping to victory with a blunt offense with Ighalo and he just wont cut it in this game.

The only way we can win is if these players decide to do it their own way. The coach is apparently clueles

I second that.

Suicide. Nowhere near enough cerebro to go freestyle. Algeria clearly have a plan, Nigeria very much the same as usual.

@Oloye, nothing Ekong could’ve done there, ball came him too fast for a reaction.

[Cellular]

Our attacking patterns are non-existent.

What patterns

Exactly.

Drink more beer you will see it.

And Ighalo is still 100% useless. How did the vaunted Jamilu Collins allow Mahrez to use him to drink garri like that? I pray we are better in the second half. This first have does not promise much.

He is a useless player.

Samu has done nothing....

[oloye]

But seriously what was Ekong attempting to do with the hip kick gifting Algeria the goal?

Instinct my broda, defensive instinct.

[green4life]

We have zero control of this game. They’ve flooded our middle which forces Iwobi deeper and isolates Ighalo. We need to sacrifice a winger for a CM to regain control of the midfield battle. If Mikel is fit, he should enter as a DM and push up both Etebo and Ndidi into CM box to box roles. This should allow the wide men and ighalo get more touches on the ball.

352 is not a good formation when chasing a game.

[cchinukw]

Tactic? Did you discern anything remotely resembling a tactic. If you did abeg make you edumacate. Biko.

[Bigpokey24]

Why can't the scores be updated
