We gave a good account of ourselves against the Italian. The boys really tried except for our sloppy defending. Coach Keshi should try get a better back up for our two full backs, Ambrose and Echiejile.

Jamaticulus: How on earth is this a FRIENDLY MATCH?
There was nothing friendly about it. I think both teams should be awarded 1 point each going into the world cup in brazil. Wow! just wow!

That defence is nothing to write home about, they were not coordinated @ all they just gave Italy Cheap goals to score, am disappointed in what Mikel played tonite.Odunamadi must not go to the World cup IK Uche shd replace him, as for the rest Onazi,Moses,Ameobi nice goal all in all they played a good game.

remember mikel is surrounded by players like pirlo, montolivo poli who are very good midfielders. Onazi was too selfish today which left mikel to do all the work mostly on his own until ogu came on later.

i am not excusing him cos i saw that he did not play to his normal standards, but cut him some slack

[size=18pt]People saying Mikel was shit should remember we played a better team (technically and otherwise).
We played against a 5 man midfield compared to our 3.
Mikel had to do extra running to cover more ground due to the inefficiencies of Oduamadi, Azubike and Kwambe who happened to be the main weak link in the team.[/size]

Agimor: May i remind you all clamouring for the exclusion of Musa from the team that he his the slot from the northern part of 9ja...

Musa is very important to the team

his pace is very dangerous

I will select him if I am Keshi

My people, anyhow una judge am, make we still praise them now. No be only by nailing all these guys be the solution.

First let's appreciate what they have done today and come up with what you think can give us better result.

What if Naija lose today, we tin una for talk? Make dem disband the team?

Count your blessings people. Many of you have made great comments today on how proud we are to be Naija, great stuff.

I will conclude this small comment of mine by the golden eaglets slogan that helps... Yes, yes, yes......

Chaooooo..

Nigeria just drew with the 4 times world champions 48 hours after playing a crucial world cup qualifier in calabar. Very credible.

Mikel was clearly exhausted in the second half. We got a chance to look at some of the fringe players.

We need to work on our closing down though.

Please do we have a faster and more energetic replacement for Mikel in the midfield, this guy looks suspect, he kept giving the ball away, a younger team will take us to the cleaners, Any suggestion please? cry

Mikel need to be used only for matches against niger,benin republic and tahiti. We need a strong team ,not a tortoise

Super eagles need to add more effort because this is what we are going to see at BRASIL 2014 world cup.
Re: Nigeria Vs Italy - International Friendly: (2 - 2) On 18th November 2013 by Nobody: 10:54pm On Nov 18, 2013
The game was alright and the atmosphere was crazy.

Both teams played with passion, but the Italians wanted it more.

Onazi played like a world class player and Oboabana or whatever is one hell of a defender.

And Ameobi will always get you goals and trouble defenders - big, strong, and physical with great technique.

However, naija needs maybe two creative midfielders from the under-17 team, that's what this team lacks.

Mikel isn't creative enough and the link-up play between the midfield and attack was non-existent, just like most SE games. Hence why the team doesn't score that much.

The defence looks suspect as well.

We're very lucky we didn't lose and two moments of magic by Shola Ameobi saved naij against the run of play.

However, this team looks good. We're almost there - just 30% improvement and we should be alright.

Naija fans are cray, yo!!

I'm out!

i agree! end to end entertaining football. we even mainatined midfield possesion for a good amount of time (until pirlo came on and showed us how a REAL midfielder should play.. joking!) our boys all in all was VERY good

Oduamadi has no place in SE
Enyama is the best keeper in the world
Onazi is doing well
Dike's performance was below average
Musa is a very good player but he really needs to improve
Our defence is below world cup standard.
