Why is it so hard for Nigeria to find a proper homegrown midfielder

TheGoodJoe:
Onyedika has shown repeatedly that his offers more to the team when it comes to movement and positioning. He is also crisp when it comes to passes and also filling gaps. How come Ndidi keeps getting the nod.

Eguavoen should really take time to align his strategy and give his assistants room to make tactical improvement to the whole philosophical approach of the team.

charlesemeka85:
greats like kanu, jay and others never got a win away to Rwanda

Relax pls

Oasis007:


....not yet bro, a step at a time. Yes we played well hence I don't understand why some folks are bitter with the match result. We are simply unlucky.

There is no need to look for a blame, AE did well tactically.

solonnachi:
I don't care if Rwandan keeper is Manuel Never. We need 6points from them when we play world cup qualifiers

My brother, Benin came to pack the bus.
Just understand that first
All they needed to do was stay compact, squeeze spaces, try to stay in the game, and hit us on the counter whenever possible..
Watch how fast they moved the ball from defence to attack whenever they had it..

If we hadn't scored first, we may have been in trouble because they would have grown into the game..
The chances Boniface missed is part of the "luck" that park-bus teams depend on..
Because they didn't come out to play, we were always going to have more possession and therefore more chances created
But we were slow in that first half..

I'm speaking based on our first half performance alone

In the second half, we were always going to do better, because they had no choice but to come out and play..
Our quality was going to overwhelm them

If Benin pressed us well, we may have been in more trouble..
A better opposition coach would spot our slow transitions and ask his players to press our backline hard, causing us chaos and mistakes

And with our 2 man midfield, we would keep hoofing balls forward aimlessly...
All they need to do is crowd their defence and we may struggle.. that's if we don't fix our midfield and improve our play

I agree we did a lot of things right..
I'm only pointing out areas we need to improve in..
And I know if the coach is allowed to continue with the team, he can work on those areas..

If we didn't score in the first half, the second half might have been more difficult
But then again, if Osimhen had started, he would have pressed their defenders more, and we would have had a different game..

All we needed was the 3 points Sha
We got that
Onto the next
I'd like to see how we setup and play against Rwanda

Joebie:
we would need good luck all the way if we are going to qualify for the WC.

MetalJigsaw:
Give him time in an important match like this? This foolish decision by AE is what just cost us three points. The other is benchinng Iwobi all game.

When you're looking for goals your most creative midfielder should be on the pitch and that is Iwobi.

if Ndidi is dropped, folks will complain, I think it's a tough call for the coach now. You don't want to throw away all your experienced players

Goke7:


na 6-0 dem dey find na

Sugarboyy:

With what I watched today, we can if we utilise our chances. And for their GK, yeah, he is good but everyday won't be a Xmas for him

oloriooko:
my man of the match is the rwanda goalkeeper, dude denied us 3 points

TheSuperNerd:
TS Galaxy and he has faced off with Nwabali a few times with Nwabali coming out tops.

elyte89:



This is a very physical game …I won’t play iwobi eida but I would av introduced onyeka for ndidi earlier and leave dele bashiru till around 75min b4 bringing in onyedika

mekabuachi:
Please can anyone post the match starts here...

ouzo1:



Dem go meet again this season make we see as e go be...Nwabali play against am when him dey small team Galaxy.

Oasis007:


Calm down bro, ball ain't toy. Toying around with balls means nothing. How many attempt on targets they got?! Tactically we were superior, the game plan was ok.

TheGoodJoe:
--------------------------Osimhen
Lookman-----------------------------------Chukwueze
---------------Iwobi----------------Dele-Bashiru
-------------------------Onyedika

This is my best pick for midfield and attack.
