Re: Algeria 1 V CIV 3
You haven't answered my question. When was the last time we scored a goal like CIV's first goal? A goal that requires exquisite timing and delivery? The kind of goal you see in top leagues and at the WC by top teams all the time. Stop dancing around and answer the damned question.lacidi wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 7:23 pmAnd b4 today when was the last time CIV scored from from a FK? BTW we scored from a corner against Guinea at the last AFCON. Abi is that not a set piece?Scipio Africanus wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 7:10 pmI can't point out what CIV did well?

This same CIV couldn't beat Seara leone and struggled to a 1 nil victory against EG. Now, just one FK goal and they are now the best thing ever. SE dominated thier group with 9 points but it doesn't natter, as long as it's not a team from another country that did that. Haba! What level of lack of self pride is this?Scipio Africanus wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 6:56 pm The pinpoint cross delivery from a FK for CIV's first goal!
We(SE) no fit do dat o!
Answer this question: When was the last time the SE scored a goal like that from a FK? Bent into the box with the perfect bend, and headed in for a goal. When did we ever score a goal like that?

Hm, I no know o! I think Egypt matches up very well against CIV and vice versa but we will see ...airwolex wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 7:27 pmCIV will have too much for them. As a team, they are not the best, but they have too many players that can make magic happen in a heartbeat. I don't think they can win it though. They play too open and their midfield is shaky.

Re: Algeria 1 V CIV 3
Scipio, I had argue that it is more important to score goals (which we are) than to score specific types of goals. I would be worried (which I was a little over a month or so ago now) if we were not scoring goals or creating good scoring opportunities. Two things we are doing well thus far in this AFCON, though we can and should improve on our seized opportunities.Scipio Africanus wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 7:37 pmYou haven't answered my question.

Stop dancing around and answer the damned question.
All of that said, we are joint 2nd with CIV for highest number of goals after the group stage (though Tunisia may still have something to say about that).

Re: Algeria 1 V CIV 3
And when was the last time CIV scored from a corner kick? So CIV scores one free kick out of more than 10 that they've taken in this AFCON and they are now the poster boys for free kicks. Do you see how ridiculous you sound?Scipio Africanus wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 7:37 pmYou haven't answered my question. When was the last time we scored a goal like CIV's first goal?

Points all taken, we are doing very well creating chances at the AFCON. I'm very happy with that, but I want more.
When we come up against top international teams(especially teams like Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Germany, France, England , Netherlands, Spain etc) outside of Africa, chances and goals scored from open play will likely dry up for us.
That is when we will need to reach deep into the toolkit and bring out other scoring options, whether it trying to win PKs with Moses Simon, Ejuke and Chukwueze or well executed free kicks from outside the box.

Re: Algeria 1 V CIV 3
Your head is in the wrong place. I don't care about CIV. I care about Nigeria. When was the last time a CIV player scratched their azz by the corner flag? Who cares?lacidi wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 9:15 pmAnd when was the last time CIV scored from a corner kick?

Now when we face top international teams, our goals from open play will very likely dry up. That is when we need set-pieces and PKs to supplement our goal scoring.
