Reality Check.
Meanwhile Cameroun 1-0 Morocco.
South Africa's independence from Nigeria: June 10 2017.

You can see why ure just an arm-chair analyst. Rohr could see Iwobi have been piss poor and promptly subbed him off. Dont watch football with sentiments. Nothing good is achieved with sentimental desicions.

Try and learn not to assume when not sure...and is it not the masterclass subs made by roah that has won us this match? If iwobi was still on this match but moved to the middle to get more of the ball we could atleast hope to come back, the sub was what killed this game.

OMANBALA1:


Well,you know,EXPERIENCE....lol
We were completely outclassed in this one. Very shameful. We need to be humble.
This is probably the biggest test of Rohr team and he failed.

I think the biggest test of the team was Algeria, not this team.

Completely outclassed? Nah, I don't think so. I didn't watch the game, but the first half had more of us than them, so completely is a little extreme.

They got a goal, disappointing, but it's one of those things. Even the good teams fail sometimes

Onazi terribly exposed today. Couldnt pass, couldnt hold the midfield and lacks positional sense. That 2nd goal was primary school stuff.

I'm bothered about the psychological influence this loss will have on the double header against cameroun in the next few months

South Africa Played like Germany, and Nigeria like Faroe Islands

Chrismario:
One Ghanaian rytly said yesterday "the fact that you don't know our players doesn't mean our teach is poor"

Our players re less skillful, poor decision, no clear chance created in all of the match.

Very poor,,,

Thanks to my instinct, my hope wasn't so high

how far their own match?

Onazi-Ndidi wrong.Ogu-Ndidi Right.We lost this match because of our midfield pairing not CBs.We made the same mistake in the match against Senegal but some said u can't conclude about Onazi with just 26 mins.In the first 26 mins in the Senegal game.The Senegalese were controlling our midfield before the introduction of Ogu.

sentiment does not play football. why invite osimhen, when you can make use of that slot for aluko or any other player that will certainly play just incase of any unforseen event like this.

They raped us

Mickael2:


I have been hammering this since God knows how long. how a grade A coach cannot seem to understand the basics about coaching sure beats me

it seems he can't just bench any of them

I think he should have subbed one of them and allow Etebo run the box to box

Shaaa....we will play second leg against them,abi

Sorry miss Olanna.
We re outclassed!

Wrong way to celebrate page 1100!

I don't know sef

subbed? one of them should not be in the starting line up and for me it had to be Onazi but well we have lost, let's cool down and think forward

Chrismario:


Sorry miss Olanna.

toh, sorry

safarigirl:
Some people will use this opportunity to come here and yarn dust.

S-hit happens, make una calm down. The team is a work in progress and they will not always get it right, you people have been spoilt the past few games, so this should restart both the players and fans

They have not failed and they will not fail, a little faith would go a long way.

I would advise you guys to stay off Super sports Facebook page for now and any such sites, it will do well to cool your temper

Dear thanks for the encouragement
I am just scared I don't want us to miss the next afcon...

GBAM 100%

HZwriters:


what do we do now?

Let us be humble and build quietly, stay off d press and get replacements. No need to trade blames. Then we need a creative player badly and cohesion is really needed. They need to learn how to pass the ball like the South Africans

they just ruin my evening... so painful
one just have to bring out his calculator and begin to do the needful (permutations and calculations) as usual...
hopefully Libya wallop RSA...and we win Seychelles...
that will be fair on us...a little we can start from there

it's quite simple to see. meanwhile I saw the typo, you said Henry might have been better than Onyekuru

Where are those shouting awaziem up and down...come out now! The kid looked lost in that defence today and was clearly culpable for the first goal..how can he let his man get a free header? Rohr must be regretting starting him now..the occasion was just too big for him..our defence was all over the place after we conceded..

Is it me or did Rohr adapt to lone striker in front? Hw many times will we av to learn that 4.4.2 is our formation and that Iheanacho is not a 9. For crying out loud we have Onyekuru and iheanacho and Kayode as strikers. What was the plan? Make iheanacho draw defenders so that etebo can score? Playin lone striker is a thing of Pep Guardiola not super Eagles. Very disappointed @ the coach. Frankly, u need the physicality of John ogu in the middle of the park. The game plan for today is so inexplicable ... even the subs. It was so obvious on the pitch today that we lacked leadership.

please leave awaziem alone
how about your midfield that could not make one connective pass to the striker....
midfielders wit no shot on Target
Nigeria had over 5 corner kicks today and could not convert any

Starting a midfield 3 of Ndidi - Onazi - Etebo wasn't a wise idea. Iwobi should've played as a 10 with someone like say Onyekuru on the wing. We missed Mikel and Vic Moses no question. No need to panic. 5 more games left. We have to get a result at SA.

Our fullbacks were horrible, especially moving forward. That right full back, whatever his name is was just a disgrace. Abeg make Dem quick run the Ola Aina stuff, I don't ever want to witness such filth.

As for echejile, the less said the better. He's old and washed up. Probably pushing 40's now, but Baba go dey claim 29.

Our ineffective fullbacks were part of what made us so dysfunctional. They simply weren't capable of acting as outlets.

I Don't think the guy at the right ever even controlled a pass properly

There was no play maker in this team.
