Nigeria 0 vs Tunisia 1 2nd Round AfCON 2022

[Abbey]

Tunisia have done their homework so far. The Nigeria's wings have been shutdown. They are forcing the game to be played in the middle which is to Tunisia's strength. I hope we have other options to counter this move.

[damekadon]

Everyone is expecting Simon to run and then cut in towards the goal, so maybe make him try something else. They have two defenders waiting on him.

[Lolly]

Tunisia have got the shape and tactics right. We can’t find the spaces.

[bushboy]

We need to score. Khazri and Sliti on the bench. I'm sure they will come on in the 2nd half when our defenders are tired.

[Siddonlook11]

Aribo is making mistakes.
Chukwueze coming inside and pushing Kelechi into Aribo space .
Moses is double marked creating space for Aribo to run into ...so Moses needs to find the passes.

We just need a few tweaks

[maceo4]

Samu na -1

[1naija]

Like i said on tge links lthread, we are playing 6 - 0- 4 formation. Zero AN play.

[Lolly]

We have tried their goalkeeper yet. A few shots that have been blocked by their defenders

The space dey. We need to drive at then and do quick give and gos. This slow buildup and long ball no go work.

[green4life]

Again, 2 markers on Simon. It’s going to be hard for him

He/They have to realize that is the game plan against him and get the ball out to the unmarked man.

Simple

[cruxifixoy2k]

This team is back to Rohr era. Make I go sleep before dem give me high bp.

[Tobi17]

Bring in Onyeka

[Abbey]

Chuks need to get the ball more. They are double sometimes triple teaming Simon. Somebody has to be open for more passes. Awoniyi is a passenger so far ...

[maceo4]

All the extra touches and dwelling on the ball na wetin? Nerves? They were sure of the pass and playing one touch/few touch footie in earlier games…

[bamenda boy]

Nigeria's attack is non existent. Does Simon know that he doesn't have to dribble all the time?

[EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA]

We need Nwakali

Yeah our play is too predictable, always going to Simon

[Spicyee]

Why can't Moses Simon switch flanks if he feels 'caged' on that flank? He's just too predictable!

This is a QF game against a team missing several starter that are content to sit back and wait for us to make mistake when we attack. It was always going to be a tight game, and patience is required to break down a team with 6 players in the box.

[Abbey]

These long balls won't help .

[eyan]

Chuks need to get the ball more. They are double sometimes triple teaming Simon. Somebody has to be open for more passes. Awoniyi is a passenger so far ...

Samu is ineffective, he can't beat his man or create space. He hasn't played well in this competition. Yet he gets to start.

Some people keep saying Nacho is our best #10. He has been anonymous and piss poor as usual. He had a clear chance to put Aribo through but hesitated.

Egu will have to ditch this 442 and bring on Iwobi

[Benedict Iroha]

This is not the same Nigeria of the group stage.
