McLuhan: Now shambolic, now pathetic, the Super Eagles were absolutely clueless today. If these guys are the best players a country of 170 million people can produce, then perhaps we should forget about playing football.

khafrahdante: Did we draw?

Iaz93: Keshi's salary should be doubled so we can start winning matches.

...and to think it was this same Mikel that was nominated for Africa's Best Player Ahh! Shame dey catch me. Mikel should just retire.

ROSSIKE:

Come on man.... What would you have said if we'd lost 3-0? South Africa played a tight game and gave us a few problems. Give them credit too...it's not like we're entitled to beat them ever time we meet.

Princecalm: I am miniancally bewildered by the Eagles performance 2day.

daben1: must you find fault in anything that Mikel does? Have you forgotten that He was not the only one on the pitch?

Adrenaline123: I watched the 2nd half.
Here are the lags I observed

1. Midfield- there was no centre midfielder to feed the wingers; Musa and Eminike. I put the blame on Mikel, he has faded in recent times, he is slow and tends to slow the game. He doesn't understand the meaning of no 10 jersey, the 10 jersey pushes attack, and equally feeds the strikers, but I only saw him giving haphazard counters and false passes. He has the reponsibility to feed no 7, 11 and 9.

2. Recover speed- whenever the S.Africans pushes an attack and fails, and Nigerians recover the ball, eagles tends to reattack their opponents slowly, this is a very bad tactics because they give the S.A chance to revitalize and strengthen their defence. However, this bad tactics is probably caused by the midfield which must reattack with force and feed the strikers already on the run.

3. Wrong passes- I thought eagles have grown above giving wrong passes but pathetically they still do it, they have not learnt sharp and accurate passes, I must commend Bafana players for their sharp and accurate passes. Whenever the eagles are in possesion of the ball, some player even walk with the ball, some even stand to look for who to pass to, then when the pressure on the possesor increases, he now either gives a long inaccurate counter-pass, or passes it back to the keeper who then shoots the ball away.

Keshi needs to work on the midfielders (we need attacking MFs), attacking speed and passing skills for the defence they just need encouragement and technical advice.
But my best player for today; I give it up for OMERUO . That's what I observered.
