AIG07:prior to the draws, when I said Madagascar will be one of the trickest team to face, I was run down by some folks who think football is played on paper. I hope you can see for yourself... Most guys here are too emotional to analyze the game without been sentimental. Small thing, they say you are pessimist, unpatriotic, I appreciative etc. I still repeat if Rohr ends up winning this competition, he should either step down as the coach or he remains while we get a better technical advisor. With him, we will not see the best eagle play. 1 Like |

forgiveness: OK first of all I don't think Chukwueze would have been a good fit for this game no. I think Musa and Kalu were okay, the problem was with the tactics, Musa kept on running inside and Kalu too. Now imagine if Musa and Kalu both stay wide, as in very wide that means they will keep the two fullbacks very honest and they too will shift wide, then add the fact that Aina and Awaziem will be doubling up on the flanks then the Madagascans will have no choice but to push two extra players to the wings, so that means we have effectively pushed out four Madagascans from the middle, with Ndidi and Iwobi pushing forward to support Ighalo that means we will have three of our players against their six players, and if Etebo pushes high up the field too they will have to commit one player to him and that reduces it to 3 against 5 in their box, the bus effectively no longer exists. This is exactly what Manchester City does every single day, it is amazing that a top coach like Rohr does not know this basic bus breaking technique. But the main problem is that the Madagascans did not exactly park the bus, they played counterattacking football, their striker was always in our half waiting for the ball and they had two players close to him all the time, so they effectively parked the bus with 7 players, for goodness sake Madagascar managed to shut out Nigeria for 90minutes with only 7 players. I think the commentator at some point said they will tire, but what they did was effective, since Nigeria only had one wide player on each flank, they kept on changing their own players that were marking them and their own players had enough time to recuperate, we did not make them suffer for this win, it was a comfortable win. But for Ezenwa's save and anticipation it could have been 4-1 and nobody would have said they didn't deserve it, because the only chance we got was a defensive error from them as well. 3 Likes |

TheSuperNerd: Yes Iheanacho deservedly dropped, but he would have provided more attacking option as an SS, if not for his deep in form. From that group F, people are already suggesting we are playing Ghana in the 2nd round but I believe that group is still very open. Ghana can finish first and Cameroon second in the group. Benin can also finish first, Cameroon second and Ghana 3rd. Even Guinea-Bissau can finish second. It is still very open. On our attacking setup. I don't like this Rohr's monotonous lone striker approach. Once the lone striker is crowded out that's all. I think Rohr should experiment one of Onyekuru or Chukwueze as an SS. A 4-4-2 can easily switch to 4-2-4 when on the offensive and that means more firing power and more scoring Opportunities. 4 Likes |

Danielnino00:lol, relax. Who ever disputed that the best players are in Europe? I'm saying it doesn' tmatter where you play, if you good you good. Egypt won the Afcon 3 consecutive times with players from their domestic league. Where was Nigeria with all their European " superstars" ? We do have players in Europe, many not even selected for this tournament, unlike you we don't simply call a play because he plays in Estonia, lol. The economy of the stomach doesn't apply with , Egyptian, South African players unlike your players |

Mickael2: Name a better kicker of the football on the SE? He could literally sit on the ground and kick a better shot than any other player we have and even if he doesn't score there will be a rebound like the one Etebo scored from against Egypt or the one Awaziem profited from against Seychelles |

I didn't watch this game. But I will say this because it is what I believe; a) as embarrassing as it is, and I truly feel as embarrased as I have ever felt for naija, if we needed to win this game we would have done just that. b) when super eagles mean to fvck up, they don't do half measures. They do it in grand style. c) I have supported Rohr so far in the interest of continuity and his exceptional man management skill has ensured we don't implode. The depth of his football acumen though is increasingly questionable. d) the defeat whilst not leaving a lasting damage in itself has made Rohr's target (I believe it was getting to the semis?) A LOT more difficult. I believe all managers must get 2 tournaments to be judged fairly. This was the tournament where he was to be finally judged and he's just created a rod for his own back. Whether he survives? I'll go with Even money. |

The last time we lost 2-0 we ended up qualifying for both the World cup and AFCON in style. Don't get me wrong I am bloody pissed but I can take solace in the fact that this team is capable of bouncing back under Rohr. |

andrew444:lol, so obvious. Nail a Nigerian in a discussion and he'll bring Xenophobia in the mix. What's next? Your beloved "HIV"? Dude I used Barcelona, Madrid etc as an example, to mean a calibre of teams idiot. All of a sudden " Zambian" players are good.l, where do they play? I thought our league has crappy players? How come is Zambia out and we'll re in? How come we qualified for Afcon without being defeated in a group with includes your overrated team? Egypt has 8 players in their afcon squad because they chose to select those players duh!!? You honestly think we didnt leave out European players as well? We don't worship Europe or oyinbo in South Africa, we don't call up a player because simply because he plays in some European backwater . Still Egypt and South Africa has most players playing in their respective domestic leagues Which player did the EPL buy directly from your league? Yes, Tshabalala moved to Europe at 34 so what? You said he was our " best" player didn't you? Which means he did the business whenever he was called up. You have players playing in Europe but rarely doing the job for the national team so playing in Europe alone is pointless. As much as you can point out the likes of Aaron Mokoena, McCarthy, Radebe etc I can also point out that you had better players ions ago, the likes of Kanu etc al. Your current team is average. 1 Like |

Things I observed about today's game: 1. This better has to be a one off for Balogun, else he'd be the error prone omuero who even awaziem was rated higher than. 2. This Aina was the Aina I celebrated when we stole him from the jaws of the Lions. 3. Awaziem has got eye for passes, that's his midfielder instinct kicking in right there. 4. We are not killers. 5. African football is scrappy!! |
