I meant we played with the same trio against Brazil

TheSuperNerd:
You welcome.

And Etebo shaa. The less said shaa on those shaky moments but he too was decent in his passing and tried to be progressive with 2 pass entries into the Final third. Etebo has always been a confident ball holder but today he kinda looked a bit off his game. Aside that his passing was decent.


And it pains me to again admit that Ndidi is on some
kind of a decline unless he can arrest the situation. It hurts me because he remains, for now, our most highly rated midfielder in Europe on the back of his strong CDM performances over the years in the EPL for Leicester.

We have to establish his successor sooner rather than later in the SE. He is still a leader in the team and should not be excused so easily. I trust we still need his leadership but we need upgrades in his position and we have them already. We have to act true if we wanna see improvements in the middle.


And Hey, My Hi to your kid.

I saw it.
That's why I opted for 4-4-2, and 4-5-1 during defensive play. Overload the midfield and end the game there.

Ndidi shouldn't have been taken off. He provides good cover for our CB's.

AndSunGorilla:

Thank you!!! That said, I don't believe we should have more than 6 midfielders at any point in time in a 23 man squad. 1) So Ndidi should be given a long rope.
2) Iwobi, no contest. 3) onyeka for me and he justified his inclusion tonight. 4) Aribo, for me, his versatility is an asset, the last 2 spots can be kept for Onyedika, Alhassan, Nwakali and Etebo. The 4 guys can fight for it, though it has to be said, Etebo's longevity in the team is an advantage to him.

charlesemeka85:
ndidi was ok but lacked support closing down the opposition’s midfield

The major culprit was aribo. He lacked agility and strength

ABIODUN105:
Bro with all due respect this your comment is nothing but rubbish

AndSunGorilla:

Your pikin no do well be dat . JP already dropped him once, if he also doesn't rise up to the occasion, he's on his way out too.

TheSuperNerd:
No one is saying anything about Ademola Lookman.

Should we wait for Komekn to contribute on this angle?

minfelix:

Luku wasn't in the game. That said, Osayi didn't initiate plays like Bassey did, and somehow the few forays we had were through the left in the 1st half. But not a bad first for Osayi, he tackled hard, was unfortunate to cause a penalty but also won one.

When is our next game sha after all said and done.

Danielnino00:


Such pettiness

Amedino99:
rohr qualified with ease in a group that included Algeria, Cameroon and Zambia in his early years. This same rohr had to grind out results and dragged third round qualification to the last day against teams like cabo Verde, Liberia and central African republic. If not that you are mischievous you would clearly notice the massive decline in the quality of our football. It's shocking that after witnessing rohr's last days we will still be wishing he was not sacked whenever we lose a game. Omo you no try at all oo.

charlesemeka85:
the coach bleeped up big time

charlesemeka85:
you forgot to add “sir”

AndSunGorilla:

Thank you sir!!!

For a moment, I forgot we had Lookman on the right. It was that bad.

He also didn't join the highpress as much as I expected.
