TheGoodJoe:


When the ball entered the net, was the ball within the reach of Akpeyi?

Icon4s:


You no talk about Awaziem rating?

You for argue that one too na.

Carry Rookie go start for CB in a key game like this. Chai! Mtcheew. Sebi we don learn from a terrible experience.

Joebie:
Those friendlies were not a good test. We should have continued with that team that drew Senegal. Togo was not a good test. Corsica is an illusory team that seldom have a come-together.

TheGoodJoe:


It is Kayode that scored ten goals. Osimhen played better and with time I see him leading the line and us settling for a two striker formation with Iheanacho.

I hope Onyekuru works on his tracking back and defending. If he gets this right, then Iwobi will be under pressure.

komekn:


I think you have an ability to see what nobody else can see that Osimhen was a star today according to you.

otokx:
Echiejille who just married had no business being selected. Rohr should continue until we are finished as a footballing nation.

Icon4s:


When Rantie nodded the ball did it stop still mid-air?

Icon79:
Good point. I just hope that the NFF doesn't react by messing with the current team. The result is bad but we can beat South Africa at their home too. If they can do it in Nigeria, we can do same in South Africa. Remember that this team was missing 4 very important players.

Anyway, let's hope that this is gonna be a wake up call for the players and the coaches. We can't afford any slip ups against Cameroun. Or else, it's bye bye to the World Cup.

With the team of rookies that we put out today hmmmm that's very optimistic.

We got out played, out passed and run over by a good SA team, they were not great that's worrying.

When you get beat by a couple of lucky goals there is hope. However, we could easily have lost this game 5-0 our attacks were mainly hopeful balls. We didn't have the inventiveness of the SA as a team we were hopeless.

Goal number two exposed the depth of our defensive naivety and lack of structure and team cohesion.

If we were to play Cameroon with this approach we will get slaughtered.

BascoVanVeli:
Somebody please tell me how that second goal was onside?

TheGoodJoe:


The chances came from the team going all out attack. Not Kayode. That was the midfield trying to force a goal. Kayode was also left stranded upfront.

If you did not see Osimhen, then you are in no position to argue this.

When Omeruo had problems with the team, was he a rookie? That rookie talk is out dated. If Alampasu had the game of Akpeyi today, you will shout Rookie.

Onazi was the shield. His gaps caused most problems. Echiejile's gaps were also the big issue. I am only pointing at Ndidi because Onazi despite his experience can not shield the defence.

Another culprit was the experienced Akpeyi. The experienced guys failed the team. So I want Ndidi to take the responsibility of shielding the team.

komekn:


I saw Osimhen running around lots of wind and fresh air but no cutting edge delivery, he was not special. Right now he has nothing to offer the SE.

He would not make Liverpool 's, Chelsea or Arsenal current U18 or U23.

You are now over hyping just as you did with KC but at least there was some justification with KC.

Icon4s:


Who played DM today Ndidi or Onazi?

TheGoodJoe:


We played two defensive midfielders with Onazi playing the deeper role. Onazi was the shield and Ndidi roaming.

Icon4s:

Who played DM today Ndidi or Onazi?

Icon4s:


Not true.

Ndidi played the DM role while Onazi played the CM.

Icon4s:


Not true.

Ndidi played the DM role while Onazi played the CM.

TheGoodJoe:


I feel Onazi coming into the team caused an imbalance. His gaps were the problem. I do not get why he is so stubborn and caused the team so much problem.

I did not watch the Togo game but I wished I did. Deep down I believe the balance of Mikel Agu, Ndidi, Awaziem and Ekong would have worked better today. The gaps today we're atrocious.

I hope Nura Abdulahi is good because I am tired of Echiejile's calamitous plays.

Mickael2:


are you sure we watched the same match? or maybe Onazi's lack of discipline confused you

Same thing that came to my mind. Onazi's lack of discipline made it look as if he was playing CMF.

Do not make me laugh I beg you. Nigeria lost today.

TheGoodJoe:


Yah. That is why I was one of the few who understood the impact of training in squad selections.

TheGoodJoe:


Not watched it again but when the pass was giving to the South African forward, was he ahead of the half way line?
