Egu is a real mugu for throwing him on like that. Was that a throwback to Rohr or what ?

Did he bring Musa on to win the match ?

or to continue to stat pad Musas caps record.

Shameful.

I try to support Cerezo even more since we are from the same place but that sub was indefensible.
That was essentially a white flag being thrown up.

TBH, I was surprised by it given that Musa has turned the ball over frequently in recent times. We needed those who can hold the ball given that we had only 10 men.

It's not about the caps. He was basically employing Rohr's tactics of bringing on the 'experienced' Musa when all else fails. But we've seen that movie before.

You have Ejuke who can carry the ball and run at the Tunisian defense and you bring in Musa....made zero sense.

"experience" without quality is SO OVERRATED

SMDH

He had enough time to bring on Ejuke anyway, we lost the plot way before Musa was subbed in.

yes but it was insult to injury.

Ahmed Musa, Collins, Shehu, Iwobi need to be phased out of the team.

What would Ejuke have done? Is it to run with the ball aimlessly without picking up your head to find your teammates?

This tournament was a good lesson for us, provided we learn the right lessons.

Ejuke was not in the 23 today.

More than Musa who is a spent force, he definitely gives us a better chance for something dynamic and individual brilliance more than the current Musa. I mean come on, that much is obvious, we should call a spade a spade, that was not a sub that made much sense.

Musa had no business coming on. However I'm not sure that Ejike would have made any difference considering that the Sub was for Aribo. Ndidi was basically playing midfield all by himself and that wouldn't have changed with Ejuke. We had both Onyeka and Nwakali as better options.

You talking about midfield with a few minutes left in a win or go home game where we are down? You worry about throwing the kitchen sink at the opposition to get an equalizer then if you do THEN you worry about midfield etc for the extra time...but first need to get people who can join attack and try to create chances/opportunities.

That's a risk that you take sometimes, but Musa was playing through the middle. That's why I phrased my response as I did.

If with every loss players are phased off , you will run out of players in no time.

...na Musa cause your failure today

I wonder if Musa knows he is done, or if he genuinely thinks he still has it.

I think players actually are sometimes delusional. Amokachi even said that when he returned from his injury, he thought he still had it.

Musa probably pictures himself from his best years at CSKA or in the World Cup when on the pitch, not realising that he is a liability. He probably means well and doesn't even realise what is going on. He needs somebody close to him to drag him aside and give him some truth.

"Hey Mus, I no wan throw sansan for your garri, but this ball wey you dey play, e don pass you, you dey carry last, e don do, haba, make you siddon, abeg no vex, na your paddy be dis oh, boys for life".
