Did you see the match?

I watched the first half though not really clear but I can tell you those who fumbled.


Leon Balogun was obviously the culprit at the beginning of the match though he he picked up latter in the game.

Ekong was also making horrible mistakes with lack of precision in his tackles though he also improved latter in the game.


Omeruo and Elderson added nothing to the attacks, they were just defending well. We need wing backs that can defend well and are adventurous to join the attacks.


Some where too blind to see that Onazi controlled the midfield but was surrounded by players given away the ball easily.

Some people even claimed the Senegalese overran the Midfield while Onazi was involved in the the 20 minutes of the game. That was a fat lie na.

It was obvious the Senegalese had a game plan to score earlier and embark on counter attack. They wanted to avoid us scoring first because they know we will kill them on the counter.


I couldn't see the attackers game because the angle of the recording was from our defense though I saw somebody dribbling and showing skills on the right flank.

I suspected the person to be Iheanacho.


However, from the official analyses of the ratings, I think Iwobi and Simon did very but Iheanacho fumbled with the ball.

They should have gotten 2-4 assists if Iheanacho had buried the ball into the net but he fumbled big time and made it look as if Iwobi, Simon and Ahmed didn't do their duties well. They did but Iheanacho was the culprit who wasted numerous chances....

People had already started criticizing for missing a goal but turned blind eyes to Iheanacho who fumbled with most chances but are satisfied because a caused the penalty and went ahead to score.

Who set Iheanacho the chance to go one on one with the keeper? From that report Iheanacho couldn't had done anything without Kayode winning the ball from the midfield and setting Iheanacho free.

It was not even Success that gave the pass though Success was largely influential in the game.

I was not scrutinizing your report na but I made that fake statement based on some evil and bring em down report from.....

I know say you no dey sell market na.

I just dey great na.

Big thanks to Haruna Babangida for uploading this nice clip of his goals and assists. It shows how brilliant he was and it is still shocking one of our youngsters exported at such a young age did not make an impact in the Super Eagles.

At Nigeria '99 Yobo was a defender. I cant recall exactly Whether RB or CB.

The thing is Yobo moved forward a lot especially when there was a set piece to be taken. Yobo i think is about one of our defenders that scored the most goals.

I think there were times in that tourney when Yobo, bc of his striker abilities, would drift forward to support the strikers. As i said earlier especially during set piece taking.

So goldfish80 may have thought on such occasions that Yobo was a striker.

Nigeria vs Burkina Faso might not hold due to visa hitch. I just hope it gets sorted out before Monday

SharpJoe:


It is good to have your view and it makes room for debate. You have your reasons why you prefer the English players but that does not mean you should consistently run down those you do not know.

You are talking about the players you know. Do not talk down on players other people know.[b] You can see how wrong your judgment of Success was. [/b]It means you could be wrong with others.

This site gave an account of the Nigeria vs Costa Rica game. They listed Yobo as a Df/ midfielder.
In this particular game, he replaced Eddie Dombraye and played an advanced midfield role. Komekn was actually correct about Yobo playing as an attacking midfielder in 99.

In what way was my judgement on Success wrong. Talking factually using statistics he has played 62 professional league games and scored 7 goals as a striker. Within those games 13 are for Watford with one goal.

Statistics don't always tell the full story I admit to that. I have watched him at Watford he has shown small flashes but nothing commensurate with his £12.5 million price tag. My assessment was prior to the Senegalese game.

So using the information at hand what would you call him a resounding success

When Joke Jervis playing for League 2 Plymouth Argyle turned Liverpool 's Moreno and Lallana inside out several times even hitting the bar in the last minute did not propel him to to winger over night. He has to be consistent and prove he can do that time and time again.

In the same vein Success had a great game I am told, what constitutes a great game by what yardstick
How many assists did he make , goal scoring opportunities created and of course goals. Is that unfair to ask of a £12.5 million striker playing in the premiership.

And the tag about I don't hail Nigerian players I had already highlighted Etebo when he was playing at Warri Wolves. I will not enthron mediocrity but I will hail exceptional talent.

Haruna was a stubborn player. Too stubborn for his own good. I recall in the All Africa games, coja 2003. He was substituted by coach Musa Abdulahi, he simply walked up to the coach and demanded for his international passport. Some Nfa members pleaded and intervened. After that tournament his career took a turn for the worse. I think he later played in Greece or so the last I heard of him.
If I was in Musa Abdulahi shoes, I would have handed him his passport and called his bluff.
He never went far in the game because of his petulance.

Probably after the Costa Ricans equalized, Tunde Disu instructed Yobo to join the attack, that was why you saw him attacking. At that time, we went all out in search for a winner. Also this aligns with Icon4s point that Yobo as a defender could progress down the field to join the attack. Also why he could play the right back role.

SharpJoe:


You start with a wrong notion. Isaac Success was not played as a striker for Granada but a winger.

My response to Iheanacho not passing that final ball to Success is like when a child does not greet an old man and his mother says "I don't know where he learned that from"

So you still found a way to say Guardiola after all huh?? after I warned you about pep word....

oya take that......!!!!!!

TheSuperNerd:

Loollll.... Honestly.... two things pissed me off with Nacho on that day even though he did okay....

his missed chances off potential assists from Iwobi and Simon..... And his failure to pass to success and Ogu who were free in that final moment of the second half...


I pray Rohr barks it into him not to try that again!

Abeg Sir Basco.... I am not watching.... kindly drop occasional updates abeg.... Those boys play sweet football.... I hope Nazifi yahaya and The tall no.8, Tolu buries Atletico today

The game just started we are looking the most potent team. They say Athletico can pass but not much chance on the ball is given to them.
