TheSuperNerd: The changes in the setup of the team were too many. There were no tactical changes even as we were chasing the game. All substitutions were "like for like". We are condemned to playing lone strikers in this tournament as we don't have an SS that can give us that two strikers option. Except we opt for a 3-5-2 formation with 2 false 9s. I repeat, we went to Egypt with too many wingers. Asides, lacking an SS, we are lean in the midfield. You are right about Kalu. He is not fully back. Besides, he didn't give his all. Probably trying to conserve energy to avoid a repeat of the fainting incident. I hope with the return of some of the more regular players the team will get back on track. |

Triniti:How people always seem to blame Ighalo even when he had a good game beats my imagination. He tried his best today to be honest but was starved of the ball. Same happened to Onachu by we overlooked it. He got one in our first match and scored. Our midfield was poor today. Really poor, with Mikel being the greatest culprit. We are so quick to pick a scapegoat all the time haba!!! Etebo had so much of the ball today but did little with it. I was expecting Samu to come in today but Simon was introduced. Maybe Rohr should risk using Osihmen then as the front line is not scoring. |

I have said it before and will continue to say it. Rohr is a good Team manager but the NFF should please get him a tactician. 1 Like 1 Share |

So you see, even many of us cannot really point to players that are CLEARLY ahead of the ones we have now. Ajayi is part of this team. We have been talking about the GK situation for so long that these days people have given up on finding a better substitute abroad. We have GK coaches who have not done enough. So my sister it's more of a coaching issue than selection at this point. I think rorh has done at least 80% well in terms of selection but he remains clueless how to make these players complement themselves on the field of play. We cannot choose to keep on singing Rohr's praises of how he helped us qualify for tournaments. You qualify for tournaments to perform in the tournament proper. In this regard Rohr has always failed. Or maybe my verdict is too early. But at least tactically he is bereft of idea. Either way i'm fine, he get's a tactician as an assistant or get's the boot. DrLikita12: 1 Like |

Sportilitica: I dont get why Etebo was playing at very deep in midfield on the right - i could be wrong but thats not his preferred role. Hes not a defender. Why oh why wont he play Henry Onyekuru. Listen - theres something not right about this team. I would not be surprised if the manager or people in the nff are getting money for favours. This manager really needs to be removed ASAP. |

I really think Pinnick should be getting the phone number of that Ugandan coach. Thoroughly enjoy watching them; high tempo, lots of running and intense pressing game. I feel that would perfectly suit our young players. 1 Like |

It may seem unpopular Dad... But dropping Iheanacho, even though deserved, was possibly one of the mistakes Rohr made. He is the only natural SS we have and is our best setpiece taker. I have said it long before now... Nacho is key to this new golden generation and will be back to continue his contributions. This is just his nadir point and he must rise to be counted worthy again. All the same... We await whoever we are bound to take on now. Solace earlier today did a pathway check to the final had Nigeria finished first. He said a potential quarter final meeting with Cameroun awaits and if we survive that, then a potential Semi final game vs Egypt awaits. Could we have dodged a bullet with this loss? Loolll...

Sainty92: The way he took the free kick self it was like he was really aiming for a deflection on our players.... But then I don't think that was a foul.. Ndidi won the ball from the player fairly. he just fell down on his own... Madagascar with the Ahmad factor may end up going farther in this tournament than we expect... 1 Like |

So peeps are getting emotional over nothing. We lost, so what? I could vividly recall AFCON 2013. We were to meet the Ivorians and so many peeps were shouting we cannot beat them upanda. 2004 against Cameroon, aahh Eto will destroy us! What happened afterwards. I don't deal with pessimist and kids. Those of us that has been following soccer for 30+ years knows what the name Super Eagles can do. What's all the wailing and gnashing of teeth for. Our first team didn't start the match today. We defeated the Guineas that topped the Ivorians during qualifiers. So please don't mention silly ivory coast here. 2 Likes |

Very poor performance! We were lethargic and lacked ideas. As soon as I learnt that both Mikel and Ogu were starting, I knew there would be problem. The defining moment, however, was when we conceded that first goal...Who makes such mistake at such a time during an important match...? It was damn too early, got the team unsettled. First, since the start of the tournament, our attackers have never meshed, this has reflected in our previous results; this is becoming very serious; most of our wingers are not very mature -forget all those dribblings, what is usually the end result...? Moses Simon, though, has proven to be the most mature of them, he offers much more. Kalu needs to seriously work on his decision making, Chukwueze is not exempted. I wonder how some people are sure that Onyekuru could have done a lot better. We lack creative players so much, it killed us totally in this game. Apart from Iwobi, I see no other. Playing Mikel, Etebo and Ogu was never going to do us any good, both Mikel and Ogu should be belted to the bench, in fact, their days are numbered; Serious scouting should begin immediately after the tournament to reinforce the department. I do not blame the defenders so much, Balogun's error aside, they collectively did well. Awaziem, though, does not seem convincing, his game still needs a lot of polishing. Lest I forget, delivering set pieces has always been a serious problem for this team, it does not seem that it'll end any soon; since Etebo is not convincing, can't another player be tried, for goodness sake? Finally the team had a bit of ill luck, I feel a draw could have been a fair result, but it's a wake-up call to the team. Frankly speaking, the team still has all it takes to go all the way, it's going to depend largely on how well they're being managed. 2 Likes |
