My top performers are
Ebuehi
Sanusi
Balogun
Okoye
Chukwueze
Kalu

There was no midfield today and going forward we were piss poor

Many highly respected members of this thread even said, and I quote, "Ekong is the only defender assured of his starting spot, Balogun, Semi Ajayi, Omeruo and Awaziem will fight for the other spot".

I don't know how some people watch football though, but as for me, I have never seen Ekong play good football as a defender. His game is just aimless clearances and wild tackles. Ekong as a defender is not disciplined enough to start in any Bundesliga club.

CornOak:


Points to note:

1. The team last played 11 months ago
2. Had training for 3 days before match
3. Several new players
4. Match was a test game with less emphasis on result (highlighted by the coach)
5. Our key players were missing

These points led to:

6. Low team cohesion, communication, and spirit
7. Exposed unwanted players
8. Identified our weak areas ( midfield and set pieces issue which hasn't been solved yet)


Well, the points above are no excuses for the shambolic display. However, we should note that today's match was fairly okay considering these factors. By the way, both teams were not impressive either.

Lastly, the technical crew still has a lot of work to do to bring the team back to order. So I agree with your point about Rohr.

PS: Tunisia beat Sudan 3-0 today.

eazyjakes:

Exactly....I wonder how you are a professional footballer and you are not comfortable with the same ball on ur feet!

Kog45:
Boss na today you dey watch this game.

I don dey tell them here say those German boys would need to prove to us that they are better

Am always saying it that a fit Balogun is better than any of our CB.I never rate Ekong but Rohr rate him dearly.

Akpoguma would be good addition to eagles so we can really say much of him now but fact still remains he is average CB just like Udohkahi

The real deal for eagles is Torunarigha,Iorfa and Adarabioyo.

My opinion

Dannyxy:
Okoto scrrrr analysis everywhere...

What did anybody expect?.. If you expected any better from this game, then you are just being delusional....

They will gell better, key players will come back, more games together, team play and cohesion will improve, some of you guys on this thread just like making noise...

MetalJigsaw:
Hello guys. I've got to say this.

We've only got a bunch of average players in our squad. Save for one or two players.

This is a bitter pill we all need to swallow.

Personally, I'm struggling to imagine professional footballers who have been training and playing football for years getting jittery on the ball... In a match. Even though they're playing against an average team in just a friendly match. It's really sad.

This display today made me feel as if I was watching academy players. struggling to string passes together. Even to trap the ball. My god...


I never expected such from a team that is rated among top 30 by FIFA.

From " a team brimming with talents"

Samueltemi337:
Like he delivered a good cross or a nice pass

solonnachi:


Sunday Oliseh noticed Ekong's wack game when he was our coach and placed him on bench but Rohr choose to make him Assistant captain with all the blunders he makes while playing for Nigeria

safarigirl:


No be BBN matter keep me away.

I have generally been away from Nairaland. Stopped watching BBN weeks before the show even ended.

I get work wey I dey do. NL is just occasional for me, these days

Samueltemi337:
Collins na player

Na so una hype idowu but we see where that one end

JayromWrites:
Someone legit watched Sanusi today and believe he was poor?


Yeah he should do better with his crosses but man!! Nigga was up and down the Field in seconds

Really did well against Mahrez

Imo, had a better game than Ebuehi but sha, to each his own

chuks404:
Strong positive from this game is SANUSI. A mahrez was pocketed for almost his duration in the match before he was substituted . He understood his defensive duties and made important runs when necessary. Give the guy some respect. Collins or aina would have made mahrez shine

hatakekakashi:
Do we have anyone to blame for the goal?

mostob:
At least nobody go talk sey dem no give Onuachu better chance. Even my old man sef wan vex break TV lol. .

Press. . Iro ni

holdup the ball for your teammate. .Ni bo

link up play. . .rara o

At least bully those guys to win the ball back for your team. . .duh

Never have i watch somebody so ineffective.

BTW Ekong is too jittery. He needs a bit of lesson on calmness and ball distribution.

Embarrasing.

For a team "brimming with talents" and " foreign borns".

Meliforme:
Above average players in the current Super Eagles:
Wilfred Ndidi.
Leon Balogun.
Victor Osimhen.
Henry Onyekuru.
Samuel Chukwueze.
Alex lwobi.
Moses Simon.

Chidera Ejuke should be in the list, but he is to get an invitation first, and then feature, to get a deserved reckoning.

The listing above was drafted based on the impact the listed can exert when featured for at least 30 minutes.

Second paragraph,e get y

Icon4s:


I am not much of a follower of the Bundesliga and I have not watched so many of Akpoguma's games. Truly, he was highly rated here. Truth be told, his performance was below expectations.
However, this is his first game, I hope he has what it takes to settle down fast enough.

barackodam:



That's the main thing. He was rated highly. Like, he was going to waltz in and bench everyone in the team. E for better make dem make excuses for am that he was played out of position, but saying he played well? That's a lie.

At a point sef, in the Algerian box, I saw him gasping for breath pointing to the person wey wan throw to wait. I was like, ahn ahn?

It was very noticeable because Ebuehi might not have been excellent, but he did well. Kevin just went opposite

And some of us still came here to clap for him

Danielnino00:


Our pressing game today was almost non existent...we didn't even commit enough men forward.. Iwobi appeared to be the only one trying to get the ball to Onuachu..

Seriously,Rohr needs to scout for some more decent midfiders..maybe get Ejaria paperwork done quickly...
