I think Spain’s by far the best league.

not that is Angola poor, but it is hard to play against defensive play with the right players just what the Eagles are doing at this afcon and Morrocco was at the world cup.wanaj0 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 8:00 pmNo be una fault.

SE was better them on all accounts and knew what to do with the ball when we had it,
Their star names Dala and Mabululu were missing.
With us playing so deep especially in the 2nd half with no pressure on the ball, a clever side would have taken us to the cleaners. You just need good movement and a pass behind the back 4.
thanks

Na wa !!! Nigeria denied Angola players all the money promised them. With all their high scoring they could not score.

Form is temporary; Class is Permanent!
Liverpool, European Champions 2005.
We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Re: Nigeria vs Angola (1-0) Lookman x1, Moses assist FT
Congrats to the boys on the win. We are playing too negative by allowing our opponents way too much possession and sitting too deep. Makes it more difficult to launch a counter cause we typically win the ball so deep in our half. Osimhen rarely sees the ball and mainly gets low percentage opportunities.
Switching from a 3-4-3 to 3-5-2 may help. Play Yusuf and Onyeka with Iwobi ahead of them, then Osimhen and Lookman as the front two.
Zaidu is really killing off moves on the left with his final ball and Simon needs to make his final ball quicker. No need to take 2 or 3 touches when one pass will do.
In a 3-5-2 we can play Simon or Aina as the LWB and Osayi (if fit) or Aina as the RWB. Bassey or Bruno are also potential WB options, but not sure if either of them can play as WBs for 90 minutes. I'm tired of seeing Zaidu there.

Re: Nigeria vs Angola (1-0) Lookman x1, Moses assist FT
Angola was a dangerous team given their play in earlier games in this Afcon. However, SE mostly nullified their attacking threat.
There were two or three heart stopping moments in SE defence - Nwabali made one great save in the first half, diving low and then we have the post to thank in the second half when the Angolan attacker was through.
Apart from the above, Nwabali didn't have too much to do.

I wouldn't mind us going for the Angolan coach in the event Peseiro does Shakara for us and walks off a contract renewal.
Re: Nigeria vs Angola (1-0) Lookman x1, Moses assist FT
Angola was the highest goal scoring team in the tournament coming into this game so only a fool would have underrated their attacking threats, I mean this was a team that easily topped their group with a game to spare! there was only one team that could nullify Angola today and that team was Nigeria...our defensive discipline was always going to humble them, and you could see they were very cautious against us.sarkin doya wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 8:43 pm Angola was a dangerous team given their play in earlier games in this Afcon.

Re: Nigeria vs Angola (1-0) Lookman x1, Moses assist FT
https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/68102471A first-half goal from Ademola Lookman was enough to help Nigeria overcome Angola and reach the semi-finals of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The former England Under-21 winger emphatically converted a cut-back from Moses Simon four minutes before the break in Abidjan.
The 1-0 scoreline flattered Angola, who were second best for long periods of the game, and Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen had a 75th-minute header ruled out for offside by the video assistant referee (VAR).
Angola's best chance fell to Zine, who rolled the ball against the base of the post when clean through on goal just before the hour mark.
If possible, the humidity inside the Felix Houphouet-Boigny Stadium appeared to have gone up another notch from previous games at the finals but both sets of players gave their all despite the conditions to entertain what ended up being a near-capacity crowd.

Re: Nigeria vs Angola (1-0) Lookman x1, Moses assist FT
what a goalkeeper we have discovered! When you do things on merit, you are less likely to regret it. I wish i could say this is a foundation from which we could build, but I know that wont happen. They will rest on him and keep the other two as number 2 and 3 and pretend that we dont need anymore goalkeepers.

Funny enough, the Angolan coach was the coach of the Sporting Lisbon youth team, when our coach was the coach of the first team. The Angolan guy is clearly better, while we have hired our own because he is Mourinho's friend.davidbam14 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 8:01 pmthank God we won but i'm not sure about our coach anymore, the angolan coach understands tactics.

However, he has met "his target." While I do not believe that it is sufficient to get a new contract, I think I am okay with it, if thats the case. Hopefully, we win and when he tastes victory, it completely reinvigorates him and makes him more hungry.

It wasnt an off day. We played with the same irresponsibility that we play with, when we play against supposed weaker teams. I am concerned about that.Elexus wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 8:02 pm Eagles had an off day today. A lot of misplaced passes in the final third, an uncharacteristic blunder in the defense exposing Nawabali to the tender mercy of the Angolan forward. Aina's blunder led to the first corner in the first half, and again Nwabali bailed Nigeria out.
