Olulong: With the right selection and offensive strategy, I have no doubt we would have caused Brazil problems. A flash back goes to the first half against Ukraine and the second. On the offensive, we caused them loads of problems and in the second half, we looked ordinary with negative play. In this game against Brazil, we set up and played in a negative fashion all through the game. That is why Brazil looked like Eagle killers all game. 1 Like |

TheGoodJoe: You expect us not to be conservative against a Brazilian side with one of the best players in the world, so that they can hit us like 5 goals and you guys will come and gloat about Rohr being clueless. Bravo ![]() 3 Likes |

timay: Playing with intensity does not mean playing with out securing your back. It takes selecting players to attack the opposition when they have the ball with pace and intensity. While, keeping a decent and tidy rigid set up at the back to reduce spaces for the opposition to take advantage. No one says we should go in all guns blazing but have a strategy to reduce our opposition's time on the ball. 2 Likes |

timay: No one said that. I was analysing how poor we are when we are conservative and how lethal we are when we are on the offensive. The friendly game against Argentina was another good case study for how good we can be when we are set up to cause the opposition problems by not having time on the ball. |

TheGoodJoe: I'm quite sure we were trying to press hard in our half, can't try pressing high up against Brazil. Who be you ? Man for man they are much better than us, we need to accept this. When we do we can fairly evaluate the effort of our team. If anyone thinks we can match the top teams player for player well all I can say is I admire your patriotism and leave it there. 1 Like |

slegend: Not so. You see, Dennis played the way I expected him to. I didn't expect much from him really. Otabor was a waste of player space. Why call up a non-performimg player and sit him on the bench? I expected at least 10 mins of game time to be given to Otabor so that we can see what he can do, at least to confirm or refute our opi ions of him. Aribo tried. I expect that if he keeps this up, he will move to a better league by the end of the season. Had Iwobi played to expectation, we would have seen more from our attackers. Our defense put in a good shift. Yet I don't want us celebrating too early. I want us to get better so hat we can match these top teams in any competition; friendly or not |

elyte89: Bros, you talk true jare. When he scored those two goals against Madrid, I remember stating that a better GK and defence would've shut him out. He stumbled to both and I wondered why. Icon4s disagreed and said the goals matter more than how they were scored. Anyways, this doesn't mean he has nothing to offer UA going forward. I just hope he learns and grows in the team |

Humility017: For the last few minutes that he came on he did the job he was called too, IMO. Take the pressure of the midfield, create an outlet for the long ball and hold up play. |

Especially considering they haven't won't any of their last 3 games. Maybe they went to Singapore to sell popcorn. Na so. 3 Likes 1 Share |

komekn: Shut up already! Onuachu lost more balls than anyone even with the few minutes he played. Lad couldn't run... Lad couldn't even win an aerial ball. Osimhen won much more when up against Silva and Marquinhos. Osimhen troubled and had the highest shots on target on the Nigerian side. He also played a big hand in and provided the second assist (assist before the assist) for the goal. Plus Osimhen held up plays brilliantly on a good number of occasions. Onuachu an outlet?? He was bloody poor Biko! No balance and he even killed a counter when he tried to score from the middle of the pitch against Ederson. Such a poor decision to make. Look, Mr Man... You sound like one who saw the other game between Argentina and Ecuador and mistook it for Brazil Vs Nigeria. Just keep quiet because you dey talk off tangent. Merci. 10 Likes 2 Shares
