Simon been very good since coming on.

 

[Nkrumah Was Right]

Nigeria needs a lot of work defensively if it is to beat Senegal or Morocco in this tournament.

Nigeria-Tunisia on Saturday will be a good test for both teams.

 

[thatrapsfan]

they really dont want to make this easy

Nigeria-Tunisia on Saturday will be a good test for both teams.

We have labored, while still being pretty dominant and should have scored a few more

First match got the win I’ll take it, will need to tighten up for Tunisia and the game management was all over the place but that’s been the case under Chelle so nothing new, when it’s on it looks good but it isn’t consistently enough.

 

[Roberto Firmino]

Tunisa what you got for these fukkass Cranes for me

 

[thatrapsfan]

TZ looked better than I anticipated. The EAC Derby against Tanzania may determine who goes through.

 

[Nkrumah Was Right]

So many good matches for the rest of the week.

• Egypt v South Africa
• Morocco v Mali
• Senegal v DR Congo
• Nigeria v Tunisia
• Ivory Coast v Cameroon (classic match up)

And in attack. The quality from wide areas into the box was poor.

 

[thatrapsfan]

Tunisia should win comfortably, basically playing a home game.

 

[Roberto Firmino]

Senegal v DR Congo

This is the match of the groups for me

Morocco v Mali

This the dark horse

I love Chuk but that nikka be frustrating the life out of me I thought Simon made a real impact he would be starting next match for me. I do like the potential of how Vic and Adams are looking as a partnership but we will need another man in midfield that setup is not gonna work against the better sides.

Overall, decent start from the SE. Created a lot of chances to have won this 3-1 or 4-1.

This formation needs another midfielder. Simple and short. I don't know what Onyedika must do to get a game but Ndidi can't do it alone.

We may want to consider going to a back 3 to shore up that defense.

Let's go
