Angola
Angola has scored 9 goals in this competition albeit against lesser teams.
SE will need to improve our goal scoring and keep the defense as tight as ever.
Nwabili is key. We must have him back. His ball distribution and accurate long range passes are key to how we play. When Uzoho came on, his long range passing was poor and put us under undue pressure.

Re: Angola
You're putting "long range" and Uzouho in the same sentence. Bobo put us under pressure immediately with his floating ball, easy to read and can't pass 1/2 way line. Nwabili will zip the ball deep into the opponents and put them under pressure. For this reason alone, I am open to trying the 3rd choice if he has a better shotmojojojo wrote: ↑Sat Jan 27, 2024 11:57 pm Angola has scored 9 goals in this competition albeit against lesser teams.

Re: Angola
Did you see how the Angolans finish their chances? There was this sleek finish by Mabululu against Namibia - our players would never have finished the chance like that..Perseiro and the boys will have their work cut out for them against Angola. Also Angola is a boggy team for Nigeria historically. It will be the hardest game for the team so far.
Are you saying that things you do not know, do not exist, just because you do not know that they exist?

We dashed them the World Cup ticket in 2006 with the nonsense game in Kano and Vince parrying the ball into the net.
Martins, Ike Uche and Osaze were not taking the NT serious, and I'm not so sure Mikel was either (he burst into the scene in 2005, but skipped the 2008 Olympics in China).
There was another Christian Obi or David Ngodigha GK howler game in which the GK gave a 'wind aided' excuse in some qualifying series.
Let me keep quiet as the GK position has been the determininant of the state of our team over the last 6 years. If Nwabili is fit, we'll most likely thump them.
Re: Angola
I saw that finish too. I was impressed with the way he opened his body up and curled it beyond the reach of the keeper.Goalgetter wrote: ↑Sun Jan 28, 2024 1:36 am Did you see how the Angolans finish their chances?

Re: Angola
Can’t lie. They look impressive.
But this is where experience and pedigree come in.
Our boys need to keep the momentum going.

Re: Angola
It isn’t that difficult to look impressive against a 10-man team. Let’s see how impressive they’ll be when the SuperEagles are bearing down on them from both flanks
Cheers.

But Tbh, in the absence of supporting evidence, all that his goal tells us is that he got it right in that match on the day.
Does he score those kind of special goes on the regular?
That’s what we need to know.
I’m sure the players have taken note.

They ain’t scoring that goal on that pitch in Abidjan…that pitch is awful and SE is now used to it….Damunk wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 9:33 amMe too.Gboye7777 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 28, 2024 9:57 amI saw that finish too.

Hopefully, the boys take note…Angola is not a small team…we need to be at our best…
To win this thing we might need to beat:
CIV - Done
Cameroon - Done
Angola
Morocco
Senegal

Re: Angola
...scoring that kind of curler goal while in full sprint means opposing defenders flopped their task of closing him down.
Many players score like that albeit at a stand still or slower pace with minimal resistance.
This guy did well, but for SE to checkmate them all around, the defense and midfield must be fortified.
I am confidence we can handle them.

Uzoho is very poor at reading free kicks, crosses and speculative shots from afar.
Not sure, any Nigerian wants to see Uzoho in goal for SE.

I think we will prevail over Angola. On the other hand, it's true we are concerned about them, but they are MORE concerned about us than we are of them, I believe. So, ...

Re: Angola
A player can make mistake anytime in games which Nwabili is not exempted from. However, I don't want to see Uzoho in post in this tournament. Uzoho can reinvent himself in friendly games later, pleaseGoldleaf wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 1:26 pmIt is very important we get Nwabili back.mojojojo wrote: ↑Sat Jan 27, 2024 11:57 pm Angola has scored 9 goals in this competition albeit against lesser teams.

Re: Angola
If they had said before the tournament starts that we will play Angola in the quarter finals, I would have gladly taken it. At this stage there are no bad teams so time for men to stand up.
