I am still that Rohr does not want to hype this team..How can he say he has no game winner? What did Vic Mo do today? Those saying THAT HE WAS SELFISH,SOMETIMES YOU NEED THAT TO LIFT YOUR TEAM. No player in our team ever attempted to dribble the Poles in the box..This guy did it twice and got a penalty and a rare corner. Who else had the liver?

Joebie:
Better second half
Moses: selfish but special. Iheanacho: ok performance Uzoho: "Nigeria has found a giant in this young man" Musa: should have got a goal off Onazi's clever pass Onazi: better than J. Obi going forward ESP J. Obi: showed his destroyer side Shehu: past this test Ebuehi: looks set for Russia Ekong & Balogun: don't touch that pair Ekong: my MOTM Idowu. Not excellent, but soaked the pressure. Better than Echiejile still. Iwobi: showed his Arsenal side Ndidi: hard worker always. Untouchable
Who am I missing?

you missed Odion Ighalo

lexyman:


at a point i was looking for Lewandowski, i will have to watch the match again , to see why Iwobi flopped .

Lewandoski was given ewa to eat. He did his thing and we did our thing.

daveP:

Balogun is low on confidence, he would have made mistakes if he was at CB. He did well at LB though.

Balogun played excellently and he did play CB

I thought it was only me. Ebuehi switched to RCB

CaptainStephen:
who noticed the formation changed to a 3-5-2 during the last 5 minutes and victor moved to RWB ?And ebuehi as one of the Central backs.

IWOBI

safarigirl:
Please, can Ebuehi be given that RB #1 spot already?

He will be.

I think the only reason he didn't start is because he's just recovering from an injury

Iheanacho----V.poor
Ighalo.-----a fighter,performance wise slightly above average
Shehu-----average
Ekong-----good
Moses----could av been average, but d goal saved him(cos goals count)..overall performance (good)
Iwobi-----v.poor
Balogun----Good
Idowu----average
Joel----average
Onazi----average
Ndidi----slightly above average
Ebuehi-----for d little time spent(average)
Simon----not rated
Ogu----not rated
Omeruo---Average
Uzoho---average(not yet convinced abt his confidence level).d world cup is a different ball game,bin d last man of defense, any slight mistake, we re out.

MetalJigsaw:
What do you .mean? He was the chief terrorist to the Polish defence!

yes he handed us the win; he as the energy and physicality, but he lacks creativity. I love is confidence with the ball also,but he needs to improve more on his game as an x-factor.

When he doesn't bring goals I want to see him do lots of pressing. He didn't do that today either.

Poor.. we have no choice but to settle for false nines. It's a good thing we tried a different formation today. Rohr is doing a great job.

abbey086:


you missed Odion Ighalo

Mujtahida:

you re right ... he later had a running stomach ....and head straight to the loo

COOL10:
. Lmao. Funny u. Nothing really matches a mixture of talent and handsomeness. If you have those,you're def blessed . Good for him

For real bro, the guy fine eh.. ..I feel he could have displaced Shehu if he had accepted the first call up he got.. Shehu doesn't play at RB a his club and I'm afraid it's affecting his performance in the role..or maybe he was just playing to Rohr's instruction tonight....


Well sha,there is still Serbia to play.maybe Ebuhehi and Aina will start ..

As for Uche Agbo,I'm beginning to pity him ooo

sontoly:


That penalty was a clear dive, yes there was a little contact but no enough to get him down. You guyz see the dribbles and win, i see mistakes he made that would av been a potential goal.

know that poland's goal was a clear one, next time when result dont come in our favor dont complain oo.

oga this one u 're talking is just gibberish..
This is football and what matters is the final result.. their will always be mistakes,
Vic Moses delivered a top notch performance with a well taken penalty kick that left the keeper paralyzed..and all he gets is one ingrate fan calling him a slowpoke

lexyman:



are you sure you watch the match please go and watch that match and come back to comment

This is the worst match i have ever watched, no decent midfielder to hold the ball, i can never rewatch this match, it was rubbish, that penalty and disallowed goal just helped us.

But if this result was a world cup game i wld have been happy, but if we play this way in the world cup, am sorry for us.

he also cleared a couple of air balls.

Super Eagles Player Ratings Vs Poland : Victor Moses, Uzoho, Balogun, Ekong The Standouts
Published: March 23, 2018
A penalty goal from Victor Moses was just enough for the Super Eagles to see off Poland in their friendly encounter at the Stadion Mjejski in Wraclow on Friday evening. But how did every one of the Eagles fare?

Goalkeeper
Francis Uzoho: Made a hoax of a cross which nearly allowed Krychowiak to prod over the line but for Balogun's clearance. Looked tensive in stretches though his point blank save to deny Lewandowski was phenomenal. 8/10

Defenders
Shehu Abdullahi: Pushed up from right and looked to instigate attack. Came off for Tyronne Ebuehi after some discomfort. 7/10
William Troost-Ekong: Marshalled the backline with his sturdy challenges and always put his body on the line. 8/10
Leon Balogun: Failed to track down Robert Lewandowski who struck the woodwork in the opening stages before making a crucial goal line clearance. A satisfactory performance though. 8/10
Brian Idowu: Did his fair share of defensive contribution but offered very little going forward. 7/10

Midfielders
Wilfred Ndidi: Was full of life in the midfield battle though passing was erratic. 7/10
Joel Obi: Added a physical edge to his game and always looked to connect with the attackers. 7/10
Alex Iwobi: Showed flashes of brilliance and tricky footwork down the left flank but final balls came to nothing. Came off in the second half for Ahmed Musa. 7/10
Victor Moses: Went on a few mazy runs but failed to break down a resilient Polish defence. Picked himself to convert from the spot after he was felled in the area. 8/10

Attackers
Kelechi Iheanacho: Was largely kept quiet and drifted backward to pick up stray balls. Was replaced by John Ogu in the closing stages. 6/10
Odion Ighalo: Always looked to get in behind Kalil Glik and Kaminski and held up the ball on occasions. 7/10

Substitutes
Ahmed Musa: Went on his trademark runs during his short time on the pitch though nothing spectacular was carved out. 5/10
Ogenyi Onazi: Helped shore up middle after coming on with keeping passing simple. 5/10
Kenneth Omeruo: Brought on to help curtail the Poland attack. 5/10
Tyronne Ebuehi: Helped the defence to hold onto their slender advantage though had very little to do.
John Ogu: Merely added fresh legs after coming on.
Moses Simon: Spent very little time on the pitch to be scrutinized.

ykalhaji:


How ? Because Nigeria scored on a penalty ? Don't forget they are playing against a team tgat beat the present #4, 4-2 or you wan talk say Argentina is not worth their #4 ranking ?

So why couldn't Poland get even a draw?

Joebie:
Better second half

Moses: selfish but special.
Iheanacho: ok performance
Uzoho: "Nigeria has found a giant in this young man"
Musa: should have got a goal off Onazi's clever pass
Onazi: better than J. Obi going forward ESP
J. Obi: showed his destroyer side
Shehu: past this test
Ebuehi: looks set for Russia
Ekong & Balogun: don't touch that pair
Ekong: my MOTM
Idowu. Not excellent, but soaked the pressure. Better than Echiejile still.
Iwobi: showed his Arsenal side
Ndidi: hard worker always. Untouchable

Who am I missing?

I don't quite agree with the above submissions

LieDetector:
I thought it was only me. Ebuehi switched to RCB

He moved to RCB.

Lol.
I disagree with almost all, but I will comment on Moses. He is very dangerous in the box with his tricks. He was a terror today in the box and believe me opponents wil start to keep a close eye on him.

if na iheanavho,iwobi score today we for no hear word oo..jus because moses came late to camp and some are seeing him as one man mopol..C as dem dey rubbish him role tnyt...whether we lyk am or not moses was d only creative player on d field in mikel's absence

tbaba1234:
Uzoho has a big future... The talent is there

Una don change mouth?

darkelf:


He will be.

I think the only reason he didn't start is because he's just recovering from an injury

That boy owns that position. Shehu (sorry to say) looks slow. Not good enough for this level

If Mikel odogu was on the pitch today, the polish people would have felt the impact of our attack and we would have scored more than a goal. That I am very certain off.

This game was almost like our last world Cup qualifier against Algeria that mikel wasn't present.

Good defense but poor transition from midfield to attack.


Serbia go collect on Tuesday

I swear I no understand wetin Idowu play today ooo

1. Very decent result playing away from home.

2. Team showed grit and determination even when not making good transitions.

3. Uzoho is the number 1.. Excellent second half.. Enyeama was jittery against England in 2002 but made one fantastic save.. He was number 1 for more than a decade. Uzoho showed that he has it in him after a jittery first half. This is his first time in front of such a crowd.

4. Joel Obi. good showing but a Mikel would have made him look a lot better.. We were not having good transitions.

5. Expect a more vocal Nigerian support in London and a better game.

6.Ekong and Balogun are still the best pairing.. We might see Awaziem in London though.

7. Ebuehi is our best right back by a mile. He does the simple things very well.

What agbo doing in the team?

Ogbeni,calm down.... our WC preparation is still work in progress.... improvements and corrections will b made as preparation continue...


BTW,what make u think we won't do well at the WC if we play like this? is there any guarantee that our opponents won't make mistake or flop against us?

I will rate Iheanacho a C.
Shehu was not bad today. He coped with this tough European challenge.

Onazi most likely played an advanced role after Ogu's introduction.

darkelf:


I don't quite agree with the above submissions

COOL10:
Balogun off for Omeruo. I hope it works out well. I WANT EBUEHI!!!!!!. Nice block from Ekong

Ekong is the new Marshall of our defence. Its there for all to see.
