KK555:


Omeruo is calm when under pressure while Balogun makes hasty clearances which lands in opponents feet, but Omerou sometimes is guilty of awkward unforced errors. I think he passes the ball better when under pressure.

Simy Nwankwo in my opinion might be Nigeria's joker in Russia. Ighalo is so unpredictable. He is very unstable, panics and does not have the composure characteristic of Nigerian forwards.

Onazi and Joel Obi should not be in that team. Mikel Agu might not be a better replacement but if he can move, position, tackle neatly and pass the ball better, then Onazi should leave the national team. He simply can't move and if he lacks mobility, he should at least keep the ball and utilize it better when he gets it but none of that happened tonight.

Uzoho saved Nigeria tonight coupled with England's wastefulness. They would have scored up to 6 good goals in the first half.

Ighalo in my opinion is not very useful. Simy Nwankwo need to step in and hopefully step up. He can offer Nigeria what Loftus Cheek offered England tonight. Loftus Cheek had the physical presence that intimidated Nigeria in the match. None of the Nigerian players could match him or get the ball off him. I think Nwankwo would give Nigeria what they have been missing. He has the physique and enthusiasm of Yekini, skill and falir of Kanu and the height and strength of Victor Agali and he can move and fast as well.

Nigeria should consider this match a win. The positives to take home would be the wrong report which Croatian and other spies would take home tonight. If Nigeria can compose themselves and survive 60mins of the matches in the world cup without conceding goals, they might come good.

But Onazi and Joel Obi need to leave the camp tonight. If anyone gets injured and Rohr could not get replacements, let them play with 21 men.

What I wouldn't want is if we manage to salvage this, some people will come out here and continue chewing the cud of foolishness by overhyping this average team.

Unlimited22:

They'll still call you a Ghanaian after seeing this

Mujtahida:

You are very stupid.

BascoVanVeli:


Joel was trash today no need to elaborate

Afam4eva:


Abeg make we hear word. Even though i don't follow the super eagles as much as i used to. I remember when people used to hype Jel obi after every super eagles match about how good he is. All of sudden, just because he had a bad game, you think he's overated.

Odunayaw:
He didn't do well but I don't believe the game would have been 1-1 if he saved it.

I agree he needs a bit of polish

Mujtahida:

You are very stupid. If I were to see you I'd shove a pile of sh1t into your mouth.

Unlimited22:

Ezenwa starts.

safarigirl:
not A bad game. four bad games.

I get am before no be property. Back in the day is not today, after all, once upon a time, Onazi was indispensable in our midfield, but look at him today


Joel Obi is not useful in this team, he brings nothing and must therefore, be dropped. He should comman dash me his jersey, I hear say Nike no dey re-stock

Martz101:


good players usually have bad games sometime

Goke7:
don't know if am the only one noticing it, this team tends to start play with lack of confidence when they play european teams or bigger teams, It showed in games against argentina, poland, serbia and england. reason we conceded cheap and early goals. It's a shame with players like mikel, moses and others who play abroad and has faced these big players at club levels.

The Nff should do something about this urgently cos in this game, the same England that looked bigger in the first half look so small in the second half.

Are our players suffering stage fright? this is where croatia and even iceland could edge it. The boys only seem to increase in confidence in the second half and it's scaring

Oasis007:
The first Half was completely off it. It's a Half to forget as quickly as possible cos its an Eyesore from the blast of the Whistle to the last Minute.

Rohr did a good Job in the 2nd Half of the Match. He twisted the Formation to 3 - 5 - 2 - played Omeruo as RCB; Ekong as CB; Ogu as LCB and it worked well defensively.

On the Flanks, Ebuehi proved himself once again that he's the best we've got as either a RB or a RWB. Idowu wasn't fantastic, hence I wouldn't mind seeing Aina play as a LWB or LB against Czech Republic.

In the Middle, I commended Rohr for doing the Needful and it was spot on. Etebo was very influential as a DM, Iwobi was outstanding until the last 15mins of the Match same as Mikel.

Upfront..... Moses is kinda too selfish for liking. I wish to see a better Moses in the next Game. Ighalo was average to be candid, thus I wish Rohr plays Iheanacho in the next Match.

Lest I forget, Uzoho has earned it, he should be the No. 1 Keeper for the Eagles at the Mundial.

#SoarEagles.
#NaijaAllTheWay.

KK555:


You are not Rohr. It will be a mistake if Uzoho is not given the no 1 shirt. He should start in Russia. No matter what happens against Czech, i think he should start against Croatia. If the team is stable, he will shine and stop unbelievable shots. He just need that confidence that comes from knowing your back four and midfield are solid.

Tonight was a case of one onslaught after another. Throughout the 45 mins of the first half, the ball kept coming at him from different angles.

safarigirl:
Imma need somebody to tender an unreserved apology to Ogu, our shakushaku master for ever suggesting Joel is better than him.

Either of Omanbala or Komekn would be appreciated

Mujtahida:

You are very stupid. If I were to see you I'd shove a pile of sh1t into your mouth.

We will stand with this team till the end!

You dey craze

MetalJigsaw:
Not only today. He was thrashbin recent games too. He's so overrated

KK555:



The young man actually saved Nigeria tonight. If a goal keeper keeps you in the match, it shows how consistent the pressures from the opponent were. Uzoho and Iwobi did well. Mikel did better in the second half. Ogu brought some calm. Ebuehi brought in some degree of unpredictability. His runs distabilised the English.

If your midfield is consistently porous, it,ll only be a matter of time before the ball lands in the net no matter how good your keeper is. Uzoho did well and should be the no 1 goalie.

Mujtahida:

What is killing our coach is not this so called average team bullshyte some trogs are crying up and down here. The coach is damn too conservative. He only tries new things when the situation is gone awry. He did it against Argentina, he was saved. Today again same thing.

That players that played first half were basically chosen in accordance with the-you never - change - a - winning-team mantra. Winning team bawo?. I say the times have changed. This is not the age for mantras. This is not the age for formulas. You have to think and rethink your strategy.

Even with these set of players if the coach is a bit radical we can hurt teams and win games.

Afam4eva:

I'm not even saying he's that good, No Nigerian players save for one or two are that impressive. We just have to make do with what we have and that's the bunch of average players we have.

lexyman:



when i pointed out this Moses thing , somany people believe he is our joker ... i keep saying it , he 's far from it cos of the way he holds on to the ball , if we have a better option he will sit on the bench , and come in to play as a sub when opponents are tired .

Unlimited22:
Onazi shaa. Him and Elderson.
Have lost it.
