my analysis of the game is that;
1. Our defence is terrible.use this kind of defence in Rio and u will be sent packing in group stage.
2.Mikel needs to step up his game and strike a good partnership with Onazi. Maybe use mikel as a central back rather than the traditional playmaker.
3.We need sound technical team who could read the game and make corrections on field of play as well as the subs.
4.Someone like Musa should hit the bench and not be a regular until he step up his game and maturely too.
5.All in all we need a game changer.someone who could come into the game with much Pace and strenght like Emenike. Infact we need a good supporting striker[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]

donnypool: can someone teach me how to reply a post?
thank you

Just click on quote, below the person's post leave some few lines and type your reply

we played less than 60 hrs ago. italy got a whole extra day to rest and it showed towards the end of the game.. we got tired and just cleared the ball which caused italy to press us more and more.

if we had equal time to rest, we might have won the game.

eddyrymz: moses was a big flop in today's match .it is imperative to bring back leader odewingie back to dis team if we really want to fly in Brazil 2014

After all is said and done,we still put up a good fight,thumbs up supereagles.

Shut the hell up boy!!! Who told you that super eagles is no match for italy? If so, then italy is no match for germany. Because germany battered them but werent decisive in front of goal. Na me tell Balotelli and Cerci to dey miss ball and play sellfish games? Mstheeewww... Team naiga... BANG all you haters!!!

two full backs,perfomance was very poor

Victor Moses was awesome in the first half.

Good result !

Ajibel: Woow, i'd sleep well tonight. Buh na 2day i confirm Pirlo's pass na world class. The guy is sth else

Pirlo is simply the best midfielder in the world.

Finally, it ended in a draw. Nice play from the midfields, our major problem is the defence, it's very poor. Keshi work on our defence before world cup o

Saklekplus:



Nice one guy,,, oduamadi and brown ideye should be replaced by IK UCHE and MARTIN, the guy that play 3 tonight should be replace by TAIWO and HARUNA LUKMAN should be called

Ik Uche and Martin are not what they used to be

I still think these guyz tried......owing to the fact that they just played a qualifyer on sat and had to fly down to the uk to play dis friendly...I GIVE IT TO THEM.......there's always room for improvement though.

this guys really tried.............. i have been praying that what happen in 1977 must not happen here today.............. thank god it didnt happen

did u watch d match at all? Odemwingie's history! Deal with it!

dotcomgeneral:
The mid field battle is bigger than Mikel... He got tired, can some pass this to Keshi he really need to re acces his philosophy in the mid field and his right back... Oh where is Yobo tho nice game they all tried. Never belive this is

it's obvious dat keshi is bn sentimental abt yobo considering how he fielded omeruo who jst came bak from injury since June & his Continous use of obuabuna a bench Warner in Turkey & egwuekwe a fat amateur homebase who by all standards can't b compared wt yobo

naija noni:
Huh u watch match ??
Kwambe was average,but francis was superb.

average.....i dont even knw diz guyz sef....maybe keshi was just testing them for backup sha....both italy's goals were too cheap, and i couldnt see the full backs..

Who has noticed the level of commitment the SE plays with recently? These guys are ready to die on the pitch for their country, a quality that was lacking just few years back!! ameobi even ditched england to come play for naija! Normally mikel would have claimed to have an injury just to avoid playing for naija! with this attitude and more training and understanding, the SE will shine like they did in the 90s, come 2014!! 2-2 against italy is a win for me. GOOD JOB KESHI, GOOD job boys!!

collynzo2: It is funny how the ref stopped giving meaningless freekicks after our players gave him a good shout down.

I thought I was the only one who saw that...

Greetings to Sir Otokx, how did you find the match?

It should be taken into consideration that the SE didn't have enough time to rest after their last match before facing the italians.
So all the 'coaches' that claim to know more than keshi on nairaland should relax.

dabossman:
Guy, you seriously think Yobo and Taiye Taiwo are the answers to our defensive problems? You seem to have forgotten the events of the last world cup. I'd rather have players from the U17 than those two.

all this under 17 players you people keep calling are kids . . . .they cant trap ball in Senior world cup!

they will be bullied like the kids they are!

Diasporan: I want to say a big thank you to the person that provided us with the www.aitonline.tv/live.It was a very nice link for watching the game.May God richly bless you

you're welcome

Match of International Standard. Really Proud of those Guys!

Our Attacked Sublimed when Moses was Substituted

We Need more Friendly Matches of this Nature to Groom more Players but i Hope we Would get Good Options in the CHAN Cup.

Iheanacho Need to Replace that Oduamadi or Ideye

Goooooal!!!!!!!! Nigeria 3: Italy 2

[size=18pt]I wish all this talk about Mikel not being technically sound enough to be the play maker had surfaced, during the ACN. One bad game doesn't make you bad. Na over sabi dey kill monkey. . . . Look at Khedira now. . . . This is just a mere friendly, you don't expect them to go 100 now do you?[/size]

good game. we need games like this

I've watched scholes,iniesta,xavi,david silva evn jay jay okocha throw unbelievable passes,but i must confess, non is near d class of pirlo...d dude wz created 2 throw passes
