I disagree. I highly doubt Zaidu makes a difference. They just have to adjust to the south African style of play. It requires a ton of patience and to avoid committing early. The SA's are just passing and moving. while we chase shadows. Let them do all that passing, close passing lanes and hit them when they inevitably make a mistake.

our current highline is a disaster waiting to happen

their coach has now moved Tau to their left, recognizing he wont have any joy against Aina on their right.

Welcome to Nigeria vs. Anyteam we consider a small team. :veryangry:
Starts with the change in formation.

They should revert to status quo in the 2nd half.

Osayi needs to go off, and Zaidu on.

Pesseiro being completely out-coached again. But dont worry, when we nick one goal and win, his natives will come and be twerking for him. Dude has had only 2 great games in this tournament so far.

We are playing into South African hands and keep forcing passes and giving the ball for them to counter.
Dunno what the commentators are talking about.
Osimhen can complain all he wants but Iwobi was well within his rights to shoot.
Poor shot but Osimhen was in no position to do anything ..

Osayi is useless. Moses lost the ball while trying to get it back, Osayi was ball watching in opponent's house. As a defender, first instinct is to fall into position in case Moses doesn't retrieve the ball. I'm sure y'all miss Zaidu now.

We have been poor this entire half. Osayi at RWB is messing up the offsides trap and creating space for them centrally.

Jeez.
It’s football 101.
You can’t play a high line without pressure on the ball.
Osimhen and our midfielders need to help.
This is crazy

Rubibish formation, considering how we've played previously in the tournament.

We have superior players
