On a night the Tahitians should have gone back to their hotels with a basket full of at least a dozen goals, the Super Eagles of Nigeria displayed an embarrassing clinical ineffectiveness by managing to put only half a dozen past the Tahitian goalie.

How they played:

Enyeama: He wasn’t really tested but composed himself well the few times he was tested. He could have done better in the goal he conceded though. 6/10

Ambrose: The Celtic man, obviously aware he was playing against people who should have no business playing football, got all the confidence to move around and overlap. He pushed forward and made some dribbling and passing runs to initiate attack. He was however found wanting in his primary defence role a couple of times as the Tahitian defender tried to penetrate through the wings. He was also a culprit in the Tahitian goal. 5/10

Oboabona: The Tahitians attack moves came from the flanks most times, so the central defenders weren’t tested much. The Sunshine star was quiet for the better part of the game, but showed his presence by dispossessing ball of the legs of the opponents a couple of times. 5.5/10

Omeruo: Solid and business-minded as usual. What could have been the Tahitians best chance was stopped by him as he had not option than to foul the guy before entering 18 yard box. He did so professionally and got a yellow card. He was later substituted, apparently to avoid another card. 6.5/10

Echiejile: Keeps telling us we don’t need Taiye Taiwo again, as he does, even better, what Taye Taiwo knows how to do best: overlap and attack. Although equally not so good like TT in defending. TT’s only edge is free kick. The Braga man, like he did versus Mali in AFCON, opened the floodgate of goals. He added another one in the second half. 7/10

Ogude: He seemed not to have learnt from what consigned him to bench in AFCON, as he continued his raw tackles. His tackles usually lack professional touch. He needs to do better. 5/10

Mba: Not so visible in the midfield and missed a sitter when he was freed one on one with the Tahitian keeper. 4/10

Mikel: Tahitians having no business playing football, it was an opportunity for Mikel to shine and mesmerize confidently. He tried to do, but gave away possession too often. He also characteristically slowed down game where he should have initiated counter attacks quickly. For his standard, not a good game, even if he Eagles’ best midfielder of the night. 5.5/10

Musa: He keeps reminding one of Pius Ikedia, with his trademark all run, no substance. His final ball is poor as are his crosses. He still tormented the Tahitians with speed though, as he also provided an assist. He missed a sitter too. 6/10

Oduamadi: Nigeria’s stand-out player of the night. The AC Milan loanee showed class. His first goal was world class. He could have scored up to five, as one of his goals was ruled offside. He was also the architect of the Tahiti’s no 2′s own goal. Good hattrick. He needs to work on his speed though. 9/10

Ujah: Poor display. Quiet throughout. Missed a sitter too. Bad game. Yanked off in second half. 3/10

SUBS

Ideye: The sitter missing fest continued with him. Like Musa, Ujah, and Mba before him, he tried dribbling the keeper on one on one, when he could have sent the ball to angle before keeper gets near. He was still able to provide an assist for Oduamadi’s 3rd of the night. He also showed more poise than Ujah. 5/10

Ogu: Did well to assist Mikel in midfield. Performed better than Mba he replaced. His passes are also better. 6/10

Azubuike: Replaced yellow-carded Omeruo. Not much was seen of him. 5/10

COACH: Started our best legs available, benched a misfiring Ideye for Ujah, who disappointed them. Did well to remove Omeruo after yellow card. His attackers let him down though. But 6 goals is a good performance by any standard. 6/10

Over all, a draw against Uruguay should see them through as I don’t see Tahiti losing by 5 goals margin to Uruguay.

Musa does not deserve 6/10. I think 3/10 is more like it. He was playing rubbish yesterday.

Ideye should be given 4/10. He wasted a lot of chances.

Infact, all the strikers flopped yesterday because they tried to do a Lionel Messi when one-on-one with the keeper. Someone should tell these guys that there's only one Messi in the world.

ok.

Nice rating. They all played well. May God guide our players and the coaching crew to the success of this tournament In Jesus Name. Hit like if u wish Nigeria Super Eagles success

Oduamadi really impressed. If he had gotten some of the chances missed by other strikers, he'd have scored. #Am kinda dreaming of a Moses, Emenike, Oduamadi 3 pronged attack buh the players tried doe. The just have to up their game against Uruguay. Who says we cant defeat 'em

Defence splitting pass from Michael.

Musa really needs an end product to all his dazzling skills

Oduamadi > Neymar

we could have done better.
For me the standout players in the match are: oduamadi , mikel , echiejile


Musa is always in a haste with his senseless running and bad final balls, he shouldn't think he is playing in a primary school competition. All eyes are on this confederation cup as it is the only senior footballing event taking place now. He claims cristiano ronaldo is his role model, yet ronaldo don't embark on unnecessay runs hence conserving his energy for the right moment.

Mba had the chance of inviting clubs to come for his signature on the platform of this confederation cup and he performed woefully against a team that lack professionals his passes drew attackers back as they had to go back to collect his poor pass. If he wants to go places he had better improve on his game.

Mikel tried he should have gotten at least 5 assist as most of his b.alls created one on one situations that were squandered by musa, ideye, mba and ujah. He should try to contribute to counter attacks rather than slowing the tempo, little wonder why the likes of mata, hazard and oscar hardly involve him in build up to counter attacks, whereas ramires is more likely prefered to him at such moments.

Oduamadi showed two things that the rest were found wanting of: CONFIDENCE and COMPOSURE. He deserved his hat-trick.

all in all nice game but there is room for improvement.

I don't think there could have been a better summary/assessment of the match than this..

So Kudos

Policewoman: ok.

if no bi say, you bi policewoman, I for hammer sledge hammer on your head for quoting thee whole things for just "ok"

Policewoman: ok.

You quoted all that to type "ok"? Are you an Egbira woman?

collynzo2: Defence splitting pass from Michael.

With that Mikel's pass to Ideye that resulted in Nnamdi's goal, I will give Mikel 6/10.

The boys tried sha. But need to work on their finishing.
We need to learn to appreciate the few good things we have.

Ujah should be given 0/10. That 1st half miss could be scored by Cobahams.Gosh!
Fengor ogude:2/10 he was simply pulling and hacking down the poor tahiti players.he should be better off working in a backery!

Hw i wished emenike nd moses were present in dis confederation..missing them badly...

Nnamdi was the bomb in that match,I can't wait to see him playing alongside Emenike and moses in attack roles.

philusaau: Nice rating. They all played well. May God guide our players and the coaching crew to the success of this tournament In Jesus Name. Hit like if u wish Nigeria Super Eagles success

They all did not play well. Even those watched it on black and white TV agreed with me.
Musa, Ogude, Fengor and Mba did not play well

Nobody in the team deserves less than a rating of at least 7. They did well, very well, notwithstanding the caliber of the opponent we faced.

philusaau: Nice rating. They all played well. May God guide our players and the coaching crew to the success of this tournament In Jesus Name. Hit like if u wish Nigeria Super Eagles success

it is a gud tin to wish ur team success but wit this performance,hitting "like"is just as useless

Afam4eva: Musa does not deserve 6/10. I think 3/10 is more like it. He was playing rubbish yesterday.

Ideye should be given 4/10. He wasted a lot of chances.

silly bigot........musa perfomed much better than ideye I guess u are not reading the game, u watched the match while u were hungry I guess

If the super eagles waste their chances against uruguay then we will loose. Click like if u like the comment.

Nigerians i hail ooo. Even after beating a team 6-1, you still rate them average.

musa and adiye sorry ideye rating is too high compare to what they played, the rating should have been 3 and 2 respectively.

Jarus:
Over all, a draw against Uruguay should see them through as I don’t see Tahiti losing by 5 goals margin to Uruguay.

U r just unbelievably bias.

Naija is yet to start confederation cup and that will be against Uruguay.

Policewoman: ok.

olopa park well now, abi u tink say here na road block?



@topic, wetin musa name dey find for that rating? that aboki dey annoy me

unmatured fellow.

ur rating of Mikel is wacked. Agreed he gave away d ball a few occasions but didn't u see those world class defence piercing true passes he gave? U nid to rewatch dis match.

I beg to differ, this is a uruguay team with Suarez, Cavani and Forlan in attack, if Tahiti play the way they did against us uruguay will score 9 easily, we might be made to rue those missed chances
