Parked and watched the match on the road, only immobile now. So, sorry this is coming late. Here we go:

Man of the match: Enyeama
Flop of the match: Ike Uche

Enyeama : Fantastic outing. No single error or slip. Saved what would have been an equalizer. Cool and calm. 8


Oboabona : A little average average, but committed an error could have been costly. Made a daring move forward as well 6

Omeruo : Good job; kept the Ethipians at bay for most times, but shaky a couple of times 5.5

Ambrose : Also had an average game. At least no error. A little better than prior game 5.5

Echiejile : missed excellent opportunity to put Nigeria up when he was a decent chance in first half, but kicked the ball into the moon. Not a TT in attacking runs, but decent at the back, at least today 5

Ogude : still needs to work on his tackles, looked like a red card in waiting again today. But decent outing altogether 5

Mikel : slowed down the ball too often; slow in making decision, but still made at least one killer pass that Uche could have done better with 6

Mba : Decent performance. Combined well with Mikel in midfield. Did that role better than Igiebor, who was one of the players we relied on, pre-tournament. Also made one daring shot attempt, but should have done better 6

Uche : It appears this guy makes more impact from the bench than starting(vs Liberia, vs B/Faso?). Not much impact throughout his stay on field. No powerful shot at goal or dribbles that we know him for. Quite lazy too, not hustling like an Emenike at 9 4

Emenike : Deployed to the wing while Uche played 9, at least before Uche was removed and he moved to 9, leaving 7 for Musa. Not in his elements, but it could be because he operated more from the wings 5

Moses : Just a decent performance from open play, not top-notch. Couldn't make much of one on one or one on two with defenders as he does in Chelsea and did in Wigan. Couldn't penetrate much. But more lively at the wings than Uche and Musa. Above all, his moves got us the penalties. What's more, he scored the penalties, which is the most critical 7

SUBS

Musa : a couple of flashes, but poor final ball again. Sometimes lost the ball. His bad show in AFCON 2013 continues 4

Yobo : Thrown into the pack to fortify the defence to avoid another Burkina Faso. Not much was seen of him, but he shielded ball well a couple of times 5

Ideye : Not seen. Hardly settled. Unrated.

Overall, still not the Eagles we desire. Far from it. It doesn't speak well that we had to win Ethiopia by two penalties. Not until 78th minutes for that matter. Same Ethhiopia BF pipped 3-0 with 10 men. It is sad news for our football. No sense of urgency, slow game, only a handful attempts at goal, back passes when they should push forward. Bad positioning by forwards, unimpressive passes by midfielders and defenders. Good possessive football, but possessive football without goal is nonsense.

This your rating is very very not accurate!!


Ambrose-8 if not 9 seff. He was the only play maker in the team, her ran into the opposition half trying to create something

Moses-8 he did an intelligent thing with the penalties, especially the second one, he didn't pass instead he commited the goalkeeper into tackling him, making then get penalty and red card.

Enyama-7 he made only 1 magnificent save. He had a quiet game all through apart from that

Mikel-5
Uche-3
Musa-3
The main striker no9-4.5
The rest-5

Sooo..."Na God and only God wey save 9ja...Drogba go use body tear our "childish"defence...
#jux passing

mikel =5
moses and eyeama =8
musa = 2
the rest 4

Efe Ambrose the best performer today.Moses was also good.Our strikers were useless upfront.Overall ratin;bad game for the eagles.

actually enyama deserves a 9.5 cauz he did his job almost perfectly well!!

Well i tink we'll win ivory coast...cauz we have gud hands at d post

@op ur eye dey 4 ur arm pit when u dey watch d match. Which kind rating b dat. Who tel u say ike uche play 9? Na side him play aside d shuffling wey dem dey shuffle. C wetin u dey rate mikel wey no fit enforce d mid-field. Infact ur rating na total flop

I also agree that Ambrose is at least, an 8.

Mikel 6.9

Enyeama 8.5

Oboabona 7.5

Emenike 7

Victor Moses 7.5 (because of his goals)

Ogude 6

Mba 7

Ike Uche 5

Ambrose was at the top of his game today. We need to introduce more pace into our football. And i think the best man to initiate that in the team is no other person than Mikel.

Its Enyeama all the wayyyyy! He's a Genious. Keshi had better buckle up,if not....

REFEREE= 10/10

Omo ike uche just loss for the match. I no even ciam at all

Its either you have eye problem or you watched the match on a 13 inch black and white TV.

Efe Ambrose was outstanding today and by far the best performer of the evening.

Kenneth Omeruo and Oboabona were excellent at the back providing a rock solid shield for Enyeama.

Moses was magical,his decision to round the keeper for the second penalty was worldclass.

Emenike had a decent game,he was isolated upfront as the midfielders failed to provide him with the goodies.

Mikel and Ike Uche was useless all evening while Echejile was nothing but running van.

@ haters of team Nigerian........we had a gud pitch nd a fair refree...and we won d match....u see!! D team is gud...

viciati: Efe Ambrose the best performer today.Moses was also good.Our strikers were useless upfront.Overall ratin;bad game for the eagles.

how was Efe Ambrose our best performer??he went forward a couple of times but did it amount to anything meaningful??he was also quite average in defense,was easily bypassed resulting in some dangerous crossings from his wing....Good ratings Jarus,I totally agree with you....Though I will give Yobo a 4,he made a mess of a simple clearance resulting in a corner kick,I wonder what happened to his confidence

Nigeria has better player than this!! But corruption has go deep into NFF!! Simply because osaze says nigeria didn't have a captain they banned him!! Is yobo acting like a captain?

Enyeama na don Jare!
Enyeama -as captain. His defence was quite gud, xcept echiejile, whr dm go find sub 4 am afta AFCON.
8.

Moses 7.5. Had a quiet boy til he was trippd, u see the fact that he calmd down and playd the game is what trips me.

simmy de badest: REFEREE= 10/10

It even seemed the referee was playing for us at a time

pboiskinpy: Sooo..."Na God and only God wey save 9ja...Drogba go use body tear our "childish"defence...

Ahmed Musa nko? Anyways, it's all about the win. Even with the weakest players, if they are intelligent or wise, they'll win.

Who be Musa,na commendian?
.
Ok I remember,dat senseless aboki wey die him hair like Jibri Cisse,dat guy dey look ground instead of forward na him make am dey run pass ball.
Make Keshi send am go Kaduna go sell suya for him papa jare.

Jarus U r right, the only problem we hav nw is (Musa)(Uche)(Echiejila) sunday Mba is strong but we need smbody like Onyekachi Apam

Mikel won't get a rating of 5 from me o,at a point,u'd think he's playing 10,later 4,later 8..azzin I tire...but Moses deserve 8(if to take cause penalty AND SCORE dem na beans ask una number 10 aw far),Musa dey owe me ratings sef -2,IK Uche 3,Enyeama 7,all oda people 5...

One would wonder,shey Mikel dey watch only Torres for training ground, while Moses dey watch dem Lampard,Ramires and co?

Even scrap Gervinho for emirates dey shine like Falcao...lol

na u nor take ur medicine b4 u watch d match! Ike uche was d Centre Foward -CF
emenike was d Right Attacking Foward -RAF
& moses ws the Left Attacking Foward -LAF
the Ops rating ws fair enuff!

Fair enough,but if a country of 160 million people,brimming with fantastic football players cannot raise a decent team,its a sad day in Nigeria

There is nothing wrong in scoring goals with penalties. Its not a shameful thing.

Chelsea players, Mikel n moses.....best for nigeria
