1) SHEHU NOT TO BE TRUSTED : Gernot Rorh's decision to start Shehu backfired, As the defender struggled to cope with the pace of the game. Shehu should be dropped for Ebuehi in the next game.
2) UZOHO CAN'T PASS : The Nigerian Goalkeeper seem not to be aware of the importance of goalkeeper's contributing to attack by making good passes from the back
3) MIKEL NEEDS TO BE SACRIFICED : He didn't keep the possession well, He won't bring energy to the midfield, he was no legs and he wasn't a defensive asset for the super eagles. Rohr needs either to take his captain backward to join Ndidi in shielding the defense or drop him ultimately
4) SET PIECE IS A HUGE WORRY FOR THE SUPER EAGLES: For the 3rd consecutive game the super eagles have conceded a goal from a set-piece(freekick or corner kick)
5) OPENING FIXTURE HEADACHE : The last time super eagles won their opening match was 20 years ago in france
