Jarus:


His omission from Russia 2018 squad was justified. He was awful in the test games he played before the WC.

Oasis007:


How many chances created by Chuks?

Oasis007:


Shehu did well prior to his Injury. He attempted some Dribbles successfully. He performed better than Awaziem as a RB in the Match, yet we are celebrating his Injury.

Musa was all over the Pitch. He didn't gum himself to the Wing. He's drifting inward to supporting Iwobi, yet we are not satisfied, thus Onyekuru should start ahead of him.

Muss tracked back, supported Aina well on the left Wing, yet he's wasteful in the final third, out of how many chances he attempted..... 3?!

There are too many players that clubs buzz about he just one among the many. It's also what smaller clubs do sell thier prospects to bigger clubs.

Sometimes it works most times it doesn't.

These days l think if you are a young player to progress you need to play first football not youth football or yoi will stagnate. It's possible the business of football and branding may get you a lot of £££ bit your football development may suffer.

What gave Ademola Lookman competitive edge and quality is the three seasons as a teenager he played regularly in the championship and league one.

It's much harder to play good quality technical football in the lower league when you are surrounded by carpenoand hatchet men. When you then get to the EPL you will find it much easier and can stand out.

I know city well and a lot if the coaching staff so will not agree with you. That there is any over riding advantage.

Oasis007:


Oshimhen is a natural Striker. He's born for it. If he maintains his discipline and keeps working hard, we've got a Monster in making as a No. 9.

Oasis007:


He proved himself for the U23 Team, he can do it again and always. I trust the Lad

Mickael2:


The passes weren't awful but just say that the defenders anticipated the passes. It was more of the defender did well, than Musa did not pass well. I do not see the basis behind starting Chuks, if we want to point out errors, there was on instance where Iwobi was right in front of Chuks and he kicked the ball out for a throw trying to locate Aina who was miles away when a simple pass made more sense, there was also a counter where he skinned the first guy then instead of simply squaring for Onuachu he tried a banana pass which the defence was all so glad to cut out. Full of tricks yes, but atrocious decision making, I don't see why he will start ahead of Musa if you ask me, he has his own decision making flaws, but IMHO, he is an upgrade on Chuks. See how Musa's direct running won us a corner as well, I can go on.



Anyways. I don't know why it seems like I watched a different match that wasn't exactly fulfilling. The Burundians created at least 5 3 on 2 situations against our CB, they created well over 4 clear cut chances and if not for a combo of poor passes, poor finishing and a rare GK save, we would have been talking about 3 goals conceded, factually the Burundians bypassed our midfield like it did not even exist, there was a particular 3 on 2 situation where one of the Burundians was unable to give a 2 yard pass to his teammate who would have been one on one. Or should I mention the chance where they skinned Ekong and had a clean run at goal but the guy messed up? Arguably, from an attacking sense this might have been an okayish game, but the midfield and defence were atrocious, that too against Burundi, the worst team in the tournament (statistically). I really am glad that Rohr has come out to acknowledge that the team was poor at least they will work on it. Ndidi and Etebo forget their jobs of shielding the defence multiple times in the game which is why I agree that one of them ought to be axed for Mikel to sit deep entirely, however I would suggest Ndidi is dropped because Etebo is a better shuttle that can move the ball higher up the pitch.

All in all I think the only place we had real issues was with the two DMFs not doing their job, I don't think we would have defeated a better team at all.

Lawd..... Can you prove it?!

With all this nonsense, why won't Super Falcons be mere Local champions.

Why do Nigerian Govt Officials derive Joy in bringing the Nation Disgrace

damagnificentusb:


Let's be honest here, seem we do not like some names appearing on the Team's Lineup? It was obvious that the introduction of Musa changed the Game. How are we so sure Onyekuru would have fared better Musa?!
How many wrong Decisions did Musa make that we are already suggesting Onyekuru should be ahead of him in the pecking Order?!
This Thread sha!

This was your conclusion when the goodjoe said he prefers oyekuru to musa.

BascoVanVeli:


Be a man and admit Pinnick is the disgrace. What does the government have to do with bonuses?

darkelf:
Our Idiotic keeper punched a ball to the opposition and still had the voice to shout at the defence

That Akpeyi guy has no business in the SE. Alloy Agu ought to be investigated. Even Rohr ought to know by now that thre's monkey business going on in the GK department

komekn:


Ighalo is considerably far ahead.

In comparison to other Nigerian strikers we have he is a VERY GOOD PROSPECT but only in that context.

But being a monster there is a long way to go.

darkelf:


Is Pinnick not a government official? I said govt officials because he is not the only problem, he is part of the multitude of problems

Abeg, dey try understand sentences sometimes na

Oasis007:




Can you highlight from the above where I accused him of being biased?!

Secondly, did I quote him with the Post, or it's made separately?!

This Thread though.

BascoVanVeli:



He loves kicking them but they are no good or at times unnecessary

safarigirl:
all his long balls met their target. I was very impressed by the distribution.

There was this guy, where I watched the match, whenever Nigeria would pass the ball to the final third through the middle, he'd keep saying "spread am"....I come dey wonder wetin bros dey spread

damagnificentusb:


"Let's be honest here, seem we do not like some names appearing on the Team's Lineup"

why are you trying so hard to play smart. You do not need to quote him for anyone to know that your post was a response to to what the goodjoe said earlier. Common

Earthquake3:


I didn't say Shehu was better than Aina

Shehu is sh1t

BascoVanVeli:



Apart from the one mistake, Akpeyi was stunning. His passing would have made Pep Guardiola proud. He made the mistake but his blushes were saved so I don't see what we will gain from extra condemnation. The other keepers also make mistakes.

safarigirl:
stats don't tell the full story. Further analysis on Nairaland will tell you who is good and who flatters to deceive

He was passing the call like Claudio bravo
