Super chicken is filled with overfed player who are not hungry. The hungry youngsters (Team B) that played against Athletico in Uyo would have done better.

When you don't have players who are hungry and motivated you are wasting your time. Ighalo is earning millions in china, eating turkey and getting fattened, he can't even carry his fat are to chase the ball.

He should announce his retirement from national football before the Iceland match.

BlackManta:
I blame the coach 100%.

He got everything wrong. From formation to team selection.

1. He benched Iheanacho and started a lacklustre Ighalo.
Ighalo is slow and lacks composure. His decision making in the final third is wack.
He was very wasteful.

I dont need to talk too much about Nacho.
Everybody saw the impact he made and he made his presence felt within the few minutes he played.

2. Playing Iwobi on the wing.
A costly mistake. Iwobi is not a winger. He's an attacking midfielder. A no 10.
Why play Iwobi on the wing when you got a natural winger like Musa

3. Playing Mikel as a no 10.
Mikel is not an attacking midfielder. The no 10 spot belongs to Iwobi.
Mikel was slow and lacklustre.
He was one of the worst players on the pitch.
He should have played his natural position as a CDM or rather sit on the bench.
Mikel was the worst mid fielder on the pitch.
Etebo and Ndidi played better than him.
So much for being a captain huh

4. Benching Tyronne Ebuehi.
Tyronne is our best left back. He got pace. He can attack well and with his speed, he can quickly back track when Croatia start a counter or those annoying long balls.
Shehu was slow.
Moses had to back track and play wing back just to cover Shehu's ass.
Next time play Ebuehi and bench Shehu.

6. Set Peice.

Nigeria is weak at set peice.
Our first goal was conceded from a set peice and the second goal (a penalty) was conceded after Croatia took a another set peice.

This is not the first time Nigeria is conceeding from set peice.
They did it against England.
Nigeria should work at defending set peices.
It is their major weak spot.


You are a good football analyst. All your points are exactly my thoughts.
The team is largely lackluster. Only the DMs Etebo and Ndidi did well. Others are just waste pipes.

The coaches body language all through the match and his choice of responding in German to questions asked in English after the match just points to one fact, the team is in disarray. The politicians have infiltrated the team and taken over. Now that they have lost, maybe they would allow the coach to do his job.

Even to engage life, You must have a strategy and tactical discipline for execution.

Who can interpret our strategy when we have the ball and when we don't have it?

Who was the link between defence to midfield and then midfield to attack?

You noticed how Croatia allowed our defenders time with possession?

I personally would've paired Iheanacho and Igahlo forward with Moses and musa interchanging as wingers and detailing musa to also act as inside forward from the left wing.

I will give these four men licensed freedom to attack without looking back and defend with two central midfielders and a flat four.

Six men to defend and four men to attack.

4. Benching Tyronne Ebuehi.
Tyronne is our best right back. He got pace. He can attack well and with his speed, he can quickly back track when Croatia start a counter or those annoying long balls.
Shehu was slow.
Moses had to back track and play wing back just to cover Shehu's ass.
Croatia targeted Shehu's wing many times.
Modric was always crossing long balls to the right wing and Perisic always gets the ball leaving Shehu on the back foot.
Next time play Ebuehi and bench Shehu.

6. Set Peice.

Nigeria is weak at set peice.
Our first goal was conceded from a set peice and the second goal (a penalty) was conceded after Croatia took a another set peice.

7. Lack of pace.
Our players are slow.
Ighalo is slow as a snail.
Moses was back tracking to cover Shehu's ass.
Iwobi played out of position.
There is ZERO pace in that team.
Our pacey players like Ebuehi and Musa were on the bench and that constributed to our failure as there was no one to inject speed to the attack.
You nailed it

To me, Etebo did not play his usual wing. I don't blame his own goal.. Coach Rohr follow kill us. Why a lone striker (Ighalo) when we needed two?

Mikel, what happened?
From the beginning it was clear the team was not ready or well prepared. They lost almost all their friendlies and still lost in the world cup today and the coach was like he's not bothered about the losings provided they're just friendlies. I guess he's gonna be bothered now. On a second thought, it's just a lesson to Buhari, failure for failure

Nigeria’s unity needs to be discussed. Nigeria’s youth are wasting away and getting desperate.

Only the elite are enjoying the country. It is failure at every turn for Nigeria.

Also how to defend Corner kicks and free kicks.

That's what removes us from all world cups.
