I said it before, and I'll say it again
Yes it's just Sao Tome, but it wasn't TOO LONG AGO when we huffed, puffed and barely beat teams of this level of opposition.
Let's not forget our humble beginnings ooo

Didn't we huff and puff against Sierra Leone last week?

Re: I said it before, and I'll say it again
We dont play teams this level too often tbh.
Last time it was against Seychelles.
3-1 and 3-0.
So yes while this team is piss poor, going from 3-0 to 10-0 is a tremendous improvement.
Peseiro is THE TRUTH. And I said it before this match.
The pressing, the movement, the passing, the simplicity. We will go places. I'm already predicting an afcon win in 2023. You heard it first.

I don't really care about the piss poor team we played, to be honest I wasn't even expecting a beat down of this nature...was leaning more towards a scrappy 3-0 win but definitely not this.
My biggest takeaway was how we played,, our press and counter press, passing, movement and even the crosses were a joy to watch. Surely Peseiro has earned his stripes, once he adds few more quality players to this team, I'm more than certain we will forget our world cup woes in no time.

Re: I said it before, and I'll say it again
On second look Sao Tome is not actually as bad as I thought. Look at their results from 2021 afcon qualifying.
Ghana 3 Sao Tome 1
Sao Tome 0 Ghana 1
S. Africa 2 Sao Tome 0
Sao Tome 2 S. Africa 4
Neither SA or Ghana beat them by more than 2 goals in 2 attempts.
They were beaten 4-0 by Sudan in the same group.
But this team is not nearly as bad as Seychelles. Thos achievement today is actually more impressive than I initially thought.

Re: I said it before, and I'll say it again
I remember Madagascar claiming they are in Africa's elite after beating Naija 2-0
My point:
My point:
- The first good result is a "happenstaien"
A second consecutive good result is a coincidence
A third consecutive good result is a pattern.. now u can celebrate
Nwabali -- Aina, Bassey, TroostEkong, Sanusi --- Chukwueze, Aribo, Ndidi, Iwobi --- Osimhem, Sadiq Umar

How dare Madagascar, they need to play and not lose to Comoros first before making such outlandish claims as being one of Africa's elite!Rawlings wrote: ↑Mon Jun 13, 2022 5:59 pm I remember Madagascar claiming they are in Africa's elite after beating Naija 2-0

You are calling them a decent side because we "huffed and puffed" against them.

Re: I said it before, and I'll say it again
The pitch was good. When they come to Abuja we will barely score 3 goals. Mark my words.
Bushboy's bushmen : 1.Isaac Success 2. Terem Moffi 3. Victor Boniface 4. Samuel Omorodion. 5. Samson Tijani. 6. Rafiu Durosinmi.

You notice Ekong missing in the defense and kept a clean sheet.

That Tottenham reject is finished. Even at his prime, he was at best a div 2 level player. Hopefully, he will be replaced in the squad, and so will Balogun.Benedict Iroha wrote: ↑Mon Jun 13, 2022 7:11 pm You notice Ekong missing in the defense and kept a clean sheet.

Re: I said it before, and I'll say it again
With those 2 at the back (ekong & balogun) we can't play out of the back which is a big hinderance for a team that needs possession to thrive. I was happy to see Bassey playing CB today (it crossed my mind more than once before today). In order to maximize the strengths of our best players consistently, the team needs to be able to comfortably play out of the back.danfo driver wrote: ↑Mon Jun 13, 2022 7:39 pmThat Tottenham reject is finished.

Re: I said it before, and I'll say it again
Let's wait a little bit on this Bassey at CD oo. The way that little Ghananese man blew past him in Kumasi and Abuja and the way he was lefts gasping for air against Ecuador and how he was left stranded by the Sierra Leone players makes me want to exercise caution.
