TheGoodJoe:
Coach Manu and his crew will most likely stick to his winning squad but they have to prepare to make swift changes if things are not going according to plan. Another Challenge is we have four attacking Super subs in Yahaya, Success, Nacho and Moses. With only three changes available, the crew must make accurate changes. Strictly on technical grounds.

The Germans will know where to hurt us, they are ahead of the world technically when it comes to reading games after their technological strides shown in the last World Cup. There is no room for sloppiness and laziness from the team. They must stick together at all times.

FLY EAGLES FLY.

joseph1013:


Damn...why are you praising Germany What did Germany play in this match. Their goal was a fluke. The keeper was at fault. If the Flying Eagles we know had that possession, we would have scored nothing more less than 2 goals.

What happened in this match was that we knew Germany's strengths and weaknesses. We used our weaknesses to play their strengths and did not use our strength at all.

For Sango's sake, what the heck was Bulbwa doing in that match for 90mins. Even in the games when he was having a few touches, he was substituted. In this match, we were behind and he was offering nothing yet he played for 90 mins.

Please can anybody explain that?

This game required game changers. We had them all on the bench. Moses, Mathew, Iheanacho, Yahaya, even Chidera. Manu did not act like there was a need for them.

We need someone to call FBI to investigate this match.

gbosaa:


How are you sure that you'll beat Serbia. The flying Eagles prepared well for this tournament.

There is no excuse. We lost to a better team simple. Congrats to the Germans.

TheGoodJoe:


No let him go. Manu can keep his bright brain to himself. If this is how he repays our support and the young players that believed in him.

Nacho should be with the main team at Man City preparing for the preseason. He is about to break into the main squad. Some even tip him to knock of Dzeko and he comes to face this.

What stops Manu from allowing him to attack for the last twenty minutes. Salvage the game and bring back the home based lads.

Awo, better sign for Esperance. Bulbwa, do not tear your Esperance agreement.

chaberry:
Believe me, with this same line up we would have beaten serbia, afterall where you guys not the one that said any member of this team can start a game. I still hold firm that our failure was as a result of winning that Hungarian game

mrham03:
yeah, the flying eagles players have great futures ahead of them, some will make the u-23 team, a few myt break into the super eagles team, if they are guided well enuf to make the ryt choices and get more playing time at their clubs then in the next four years they will make the super eagles team a great one. Esperance isnt a bad team but i think awoniyi should go to a low profile team in europe when he can get more playing time to develop. as for nacho, i hope he doesnt get discouraged and makes it to the senior team of mancity. bro, please forgive manu garba, he made a big mistake but u have to give him the chance to correct in 2 years time.

joseph1013:


Wrong!!! Against Hungary, Bulbwa was substituted. He wasnt in this match eventhough he offfrered nothing. Against Hungary, Simon was tormenting Hungary, he didnt sniff this match. Against Hungary, we were not afraid and defensive, we were in this match.

This is extremely painful. How can a team be one down down in the knockout stage and still be defensive. Did someone swap Manu Garba's brain?

linked:
.... You're getting it wrong... Germany wasn't the problem... The problem is that after three matches the eagles have refuse to leave gear one....
I love it when a team fight gallantly for a comeback when they trail the game... If the eagles had lost today after a top-notch performance that would just be ok... Not this pitiful display.

You need help to realize this and stop screaming Germany... . They can lose too

LeeCodeman:


[b]Oh, you didnt watch the game? I'm happy you didnt because this game was painful to watch.

Let me tell you what happened:

From the blast of the whistle, all Nigerian players went defensive. We hardly did anything with the ball for the first 15 minutes. We left Awoniyi to be in front with no support. Anytime Sokari got the ball, he plays it to the opponent. Our wings was so flat that when their Captain, who is the right back, gets the ball, he comes into our half to torment us. They had a couple of balls in our area and wasted them. At a time, a fluke shot was thrown at our keeper, while he attempted to save it, the ball passed between his hands over his head and it was a goal.

After the goal, we knew we needed to score so Sokari got the ball and still kept giving it to the Germans. Bulbwa was supposed to be a winger but he was often found in our own half. Savior was the only outlet who took on players but there was no support since Awoniyi is often far away.

Our midfield was completely non-existent.

What would you do when it was halftime? What would the previous Manu Garba have done? Yeah right, you would have removed Sokari and Bulbwa for a start and play pacy players like Simon or Iheanacho or Ifeanyi to help the midfield and offer respite to the defence. Right?

Not the Manu Garba of today. Guess what he did? He did NOTHING. We continued playing like we had done in the first half, this time around Germany saw that we had no intention of winning the match and came out more. Now, our goalkeeper became very busy. To be truthful, he saved alot of shots, but I'm not surprised. They are saves he should save.

So what did Manu do? Guess again? Wrong, he removed our only outlet, Saviour Godwin and introduced another striker. Now the situation was worse now that the gap between our midfield and attack became very wide. Sokari was very useless by always conceding possession and, Success and Awoniyi were very isolated.

All this while, we still had NO SHOT ON TARGET.

Guess what Manu did next? You guessed right, he removed Sokari but this time on the 80th minute. Guess who he replaced him with? YOU ARE VERY WRONG!

He brought in a defensive midfielder when you fvcking need a goal and left proven goalscorers like Kelechi, Simon, and Yahaya on the bench.

Then we played and played like that until the referee blew.

Did I say that we did not make a third substiitution? Oh, we didnt. Manu wants to use that as a souvenir.

THE END.

TheGoodJoe:


More time to chop money from European nations while our hearts break. Man, he failed these boys. Today, the blame falls squarely on his shoulders. One change in almost the whole game you were dominated.

Honourable Chidi Lloyd, I say bring the Mace.

chaberry:
This is what you get when you prefer to play Germany in football rather than serbia. infact, you guys underrate them, Jeezz! Who underate Germany in football?

LeeCodeman:
I'm still mourning. How could we lose a match we could win so easily?

Accepted, you dont change a winning team, but since we were not playing well, conceding possession and playing some useless long balls against an opposition that has got players taller than us, why not make swift changes at the stroke of second half.

Bulbwa was a liability. We have Simon Moses and Yahaya on the bench. Awoniy was overwhelmed, at least try Iheanacho who has been trained by World Class coaches in the position. Sokari was so useless in the match, yet you did nothing when we had Matthew on the bench.

You brought in Isaac and there was no instruction for him and Awoniyi to swap position, albeit from time to time.

What was Nwakali doing on the field when we were chasing a goal down. Arghhhhhh

JESUS!!!...my week is now officially useless!

sorry bro, i know how it hurts to be out. I think manu garba should be given a second chance. Dis was his first time at an under-20 worldcup.

dunno what the hell happened...didn't even see the match. But if you had given an elementary school ccoach this team, he would've thrown everything at the Germans and gone full throttle....I mean, it was that basic.

Throw the freaking arsenal and damn it to hell. I'm not even close to being a coach, but I damn sure would have done better

TheGoodJoe:


No one underrated them. But, this our team is Super and we should not fear anyone. By the way, we did not lose because we met a superior opponent. We lost because the coaching crew did not do right things.

TheGoodJoe:
I am all for pushing your boys. We have no problem with that because this boys are better than some in big clubs. However, an early change when things are not going to plans. These boys will not secure top clubs by crashing out early playing 90 mins.

Pull Awo for Nacho for the second half of this game and start Awo in the next.

That is not what this coach was thinking. Manu wanted a loss. That is the simple truth.

ajf:

Oga, forget weather! Didn't Switzerland come to our own hot weather to win the U-17 world Cup?

mikron:
u have been harping on this avoid Germany this and that even before we played Hungary, what exactly is ur problem? I believe u re happy we lost because u want to justify ur fear of dodging Germany, oga Germany was not the problem why we lost today but because of the stubborn stance of coach manu that refused to play his best legs in a knock out match like this, for once the Germans too lost their scoring boots, didn't that tell u they also find the match difficult? If our best stars played from beginning do u think the score line would have ended like this? Pls contribute on tactics of the coach or lack of it instead of yapping on dodging certain teams, Germany were very beatable if our coach had done d needful. Abeg say something else, this ur talk of we would have Dodged Germany is becoming boring

mikron:
the Swiss team won that game (final) via a header from a corner, our defenders were caught napping, the Nigerian team led by okoro n Co dominated that game from beginning to end and maybe u forget that game was played in the evening (cold weather) not a hot weather like u want us to believe. European teams find it difficult playing football in the afternoon in hot temperate regions where there are much sunshine like North, East and West African countries. They get easily dehydrated and run out of steam thereby not giving their best. Oga extreme weather conditions affect players

TheGoodJoe:


Laughing to the bank.

mikron:
i agree with you, he should have played the European stars but why he kept them on d bench is what still baffles d shi. t outta me

safarigirl:
That's how Iheanacho, Yahaya, Moses and Chidera went to New Zealand as tourists ....Well, I hope Mustapha got enough pictures *Seun, we need an emoji that's actually rolling and laughing*
