Oasis007:




More drilled PLAYERS are needed in this Team.

When Forgiveness rated many of them low, some Dudes think he's crazy.

Icon4s:


Go back and watch that replay but this time with an open mind.

Close range headers are the most difficult to deal with. You cannot tell which direction the vial would travel.

Awaziem was responsible for that goal.

And if anyone is to replace Akpeyi it will definitely not be Alampasu.

komekn:


Be objective and realistic if you bring a half decent striker from non league and you give him 10 minutes to throw in everything he has when everyone is tired and lethargic.

Of course he will look fired up and even a little bit dangerous. For me I didn't see anything exceptional beyond initial grateful gra gra, sorry but that's my opinion.

WORLDPEACE:

Yes, the players just needed to pass the ball around faster than they did, to not give the opponent too much time to time to sit back and defend. Then the flanks were not used enough. When they used them the crosses were poor. No single set-piece resulted in anything tangible. As an Arsenal fan I have seen these kind of scenarios play out a thousand times. There is always one way out - quick, precise and direct football. It looks to me like the coach is tired of coaching our team and he wants to be fired.

Right now we need the best players that are available to Nigeria no youth players and or bench warmers.

Simply proven tested and quality irrespective of age the best. Today we did not have our best.

I even believe if Efe Ambrose was in that defense it would not have looked this bad.

TheGoodJoe:


After you will say you are not sentimental. Why not Alampasu? What did he do to you except on repeated occassions being our best performing goal keeper in camp. You do not want the best in goal but accuse me of sentiments.

I repeat, that Rantie's header we close to Akpeyi, he should have saved it but messed it up. It is his fault.

At least he spilled the ball for all to see. The guy is poor.

TheGoodJoe:


I can respect that but you missed the fact that Kayode came in. With his experience and form, he should have showed the initial gra gra but he could not. Instead Osimhen with even less time looked more dangerous. So the notion that any decent striker could do the same simply does not work.

Icon4s:


Who said Alampasu is our best keeper in camp?

Do you understand what being 'best' means in this context?

You keep saying 'the ball was close to Akpeyi so he should have saved' it but you have never blamed the player that left Rantie in position after missing his own header . And you say you are not being sentimental.

I repeat if it was Omeruo that had the kind of game Awaziem had today you would have crudified the boy with words here.

forgiveness:


Hahahahahah! Dem eyes go clear soon.

Mickael2:


I said this before the game, psychology is an important aspect of football. You are the mvp in your league, the goal king over there and you are forced to sit on the bench for someone who does not even have a permanent spot on the city bench, if I am Kayode I will be saying it serves the coach right and I wouldn't be playing with all my heart.

Oasis007:




Seriously their Eyes ain't clear yet. Some of them are claiming you are sentiment, yet they are the ones being sentiment.

Some were even calling for the Head of Simon Moses as if the Lad was the most poor in the Pitch.

Iheanacho played nothing, he couldn't drop to the middle to help, Iwobi was disappointed, Ndidi was lost, Etebo couldn't convert a well laid Pass, also couldn't make a single decisive Pass as an AM, yet Simon was the one to be blamed.

Thank God Musa didn't play in the first Half, he would have been condemned to Death.

TheGoodJoe:


As if you were not there when Omeruo made a terrible mistake when playing for us. The ball was close to Akpeyi. Simple. He should have saved it. Too Close to him.

Mickael2:
happy Sunday my people

Icon4s:


So he was also responsible for the second goal. Give out instructions to defenders that were no where to be found.

AIG07:
Base on our defence today. I throway cap for Sir Icon4s.

He is always of the opinion that you don't use a young(rookie) in d heart of your defence. Awaziem did had a good game but his lack of experience cost us for the first goal and he almost gifted a penalty to the SAs. Echiejile too didn't come to the party today. I was impressed with Shehu... The guy is a baller.

Napoleon55:
I blame VICTOR MOSES FOR THIS,HE SHOULD BE PLAYING THIS GAME

TheGoodJoe:


Kayode would have been stranded upfront. I doubt he would have made the kind of runs Iheanacho made but yet Iheanacho could not get the passes needed to cause damage. Daddy and Iwobi were dangerous also but we lacked the perpetrating passes from the middle.

So I do not think the choice of who we the striker was the problem. We need to work on having a replacement when we do not have Mikel Obi.

AIG07:
wow! Sir, You'll make a great coach. You can do your country a great service by forwarding your CV to the glass house. We'll follow it from there.

TheGoodJoe:
Iheanacho made lots of brilliant runs today. With neat tidy through passes, he would have torn the South African team to shreds today and we would be singing a different tune.

We need to find our weaknesses and today we did not have good final balls. We also did not have a good standing four performance. A minor tweak can sort this. Iwobi going behind the forwards, seeing more of the ball and getting to reap defenses with his passing ability will solve this.

Also, Ndidi sticking to shielding the defence will make us stronger.

Icon4s:


The ball was close to him how?

Was the ball still that he will just pick it up?

If you had said he didn't do well enough to Marshall the defense I will whole heatedly agree with you.

But to single him out for a blame on that first goal you are just being unfair.

Omeruo made a mistake against Zambia but his overall play was very much OK.

Awaziem was damn terrible today. Rohr thought he was playing a joker but the gamble turnrd out really bad. Awaziem caused us that fist goal.

TheGoodJoe:


If Enyeama comes back, I will gladly welcome him. If not if Ikeme is fit, I will feel happy. If not, we should select the best and stop the tricks of this is more experienced. Most annoying is Alloy Agu shielding Akpeyi from screening in the name of preparing him with drills. Absolute thrash. Get them to camp early, drill pick the best two that will most likely start, select the best in training.

There is an art to this. If Agu does not know hi job as a keeper trainer, he should get the hell out. Another mishap from Oliseh's reign.
