TheGoodJoe:


I have told you to stop all this sentiments accusations. You have seen your experience keeper what he has caused. You keep talking sentiments without knowing selecting a player based on experience is sentimental. Let me say it again, selecting a player based on experience is sentimental.

Select the best and Akpeyi is clearly not better than Alampasu.

I have always criticised Onazi based on his shielding style of play. In the game against SA last time, we made a mistake of not having a standing four. This happened after Hope Akpan injured and we brought Onazi back to the midfield and we had a catastrophe.

The same problem is today. Individually the players defended well but when they were overrun especially during counters, it is difficult making the right defensive choices. Today's problem was no shielding of the defence. As for the first goal, the ball was close to Akpeyi and he messed it up. In the earlier time he dropped the ball.

You are the sentimental one.

TheGoodJoe:


Mikel played a more creative role under Keshi and Onazi lacks discipline to sit back and defend. During that time, Keshi moved Onazi to the right back role and used Hope to shield the defence. This brought stability to the team. As soon as we lost Hope Akpan to injury, we were in trouble. Keshi had to return Onazi and the problem of the lack of a disciplined four happened again.

Same problem today. We need that discipline at the back.

Icon4s:


This strategy though.

I have never seen Ekong as much of a leader in that defense. He has been riding on the back of Balogun all along. His fragility was exposed today.

Icon4s:


All attempt to give a dog a bad name.

Who was supposed to pick out Rantie?

how many goalies in the word can save that kind of close header?

Your own is just to promote Alampasu by all means.

Akpeyi was not at fault for any of the goals.

forgiveness:

I no know anything. Tell me why?

kingphilip:
is it still rantie's goal you're talking about or another??

Ranieri was left with a free header without anybody marking him and you're blaming the goalkeeper??

I know he committed enough blunder today but the first goal, not his fault at all

Abeg fear God now

kingphilip:
I was shocked as well.. Him saying Akpeyi should have picked that ball was a no no

He even tried to stop the second by wanting to collect a red self

TheGoodJoe:


That was why the defensive midfielder sitting back was really important. With Ndidi and Onazi pushing forward, we exposed the defenders. I like the defensive set up, the fit the philosophy I feel Rohr is building but it is time we solidify the defensive midfield Role.

Ndidi needs to become that Oliseh we miss. That rock in front of the defence and we will soar.

Echiejile also needs to understand he needs to focus on helping the defence more than the attack. We made the exact mistake we made against South Africa in Uyo.

Rohr needs to sort this out fast.

Icon4s:


Your last sentence is the only point we have agreed on this night.

Ndidi was practically carried away by all the acolades he has been receiving of late. He lost his disciplin. At a point I wondered who was the DM between him and Onazi. He was more interested in scoring. He thinks he has arrived. Well, reality check for him.

He (Ndidi) sure learnt a lot on his first ever start as a DM in any completive game

Experience is still the best teacher.

Icon4s:


Hmm I remember that once upon an argument we had here about Ndidi and Oliseh. When Oliseh was this Ndidi's age Ndidi no near o.

You want to fall my hand.

Give Ndidi time. He has other quality attributes to become a great player. Let u give the coach time.

TheGoodJoe:


Blatant wrong.

He was also stranded upfront but we had more pressure with Iheanacho. From the attacker's perspective, we were more threatening with Iheanacho upfront than with Kayode. With Kayode we needed to contribute more from the midfield which left the back even under more pressure. Although the dynamics of the game led to that.

But wholly we had more room to cause damage with Iheanacho than Kayode. Osimhen even looked deadlier than Kayode.

TheGoodJoe:


The ball was close to the keeper. He should save it. Or you do not know what a save is? Akpeyi could not save a ball close to him.

kingphilip:
please you'd have to tell me how close

Because from the angle I watched it from he stood no chance

Rantie was free and the ball never dropped low.. It was just as if the ball was sent directly to Rantie's head

forgiveness:



Fat lie. Kayode introduction saw us had chances at goal which was apparently lacking with Iheanacho.

Another fat lie. With Iheanacho on the field, we had waves upon waves of attack come from the South Africans.

Kayode created more spaces and goal chances but Etebor and Ndidi were too greedy to pass. Dey wanted all the glory.

I didn't notice Osimhen at all.

Ah ah. After Rantie nodded the ball, the ball was close to Akpeyi to save it. Akpeyi had a good chance to save it.

Super Eagles Players Ratings Vs RSA : Porto's Awaziem, Echiejile Are Standout Flops


Fans of the Super Eagles all had high hopes before the 2019 African Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa’s Bafana Bafana on Saturday evening.

It turned out to be a bitter story as the Stuart Baxter tutored lads deservedly earned a 2-0 win at the ultra modern Godswill Akpabio International Stadium.

Goals from Tekelo Rantie and Pacy Tau handed Bafana Bafana the coveted three points.

Allnigeriasoccer.com rates the Super Eagles players at the end of the game in Uyo.

Daniel Akpeyi 4/10

Did not have much to do from open play but looked shaky anytime he was called into duty. He couldn’t command his area and conceded two goals. No composure. Didn’t look like a professional. Only two good saves was made by the Chippa United goalkeeper.

Shehu Abdullahi 6/10

One of the positives on the field of play. The Anathorsis Famagusta star offered support to his teammates whenever he ventured forward and performed his defensive duties.

Elderson Echiejille 3/10

The former Sporting Braga full back had a poor game. He put every foot wrong and was often ball watching. This might be his last game for Nigeria. His wing was exploited by the speedy Rantie and Zwane. Disappointing.

William Troost Ekong 5/10

Started the game very well with his timely tackles and leadership skills. His fruitful partnership with Leon Balogun was missing as he had a torrid time covering for the jittery Awaziem.

Chidozie Awaziem 2/10

The Porto man didn’t help his case for future invitations with a less than convincing game. His performance is beginning to make me ask questions whether we have not overrated him. Beaten easily by the foxy South Africans. Gave away possession easily and was often chasing shadows.

Ogenyi Onazi 5.5/10

A tireless performance from a player who reserves his best performances for the national team. Was the conductor of the Super Eagles’ orchestra with his probing passing and shooting. Won several tackles too.

Onyinye Ndidi 5/10

On a day you would have expected the Leicester City youngster to show his class and talents against the opposition, he often exposed his team and couldn’t do anything extra-ordinary. No through pass. No initiation of attack.

Oghenekaro Etebo 5/10

Started the game strongly as the playmaker. His close range effort couldn’t go into the back of the net and that seemed to affect his concentration as he flitted out of the game. Might have done enough to secure a permanent take on the role.

Kelechi Iheanacho 4/10

Anonymous during his time on the field of play. Not a threat to the Bafana defenders. Save for a through pass to Etebo which he couldn’t convert, he didn’t do anything up front.

Moses Simon 6/10

Looked the most dangerous whenever he had the ball. The Gent winger forced Khune to two point blank saves. He should have done better with his final delivery, which is an aspect of his game he needs to work on.

Alex Iwobi 4/10

Iwobi was like a pedestrian on the field. He struggled to get himself involved in the game with vast chunks passing him by. Was not involved in a single pivotal moment. The game is his worst in the colours of the Super Eagles.

Substitutes

Olarenwaju Kayode 5/10

Thrown in when Eagles needed goals desperately. A player of boundless energy, he used that to good effect as he got into decent goal scoring positions. He was menacing as the point man and caused a few problems.

Ahmed Musa 4.5/10

Struggled to set up teammates. Saw a lot of the ball but did very little effective work with it.

Victor Osimhen

Did little to be rated.

Icon4s:


TheGoodJoe see as Awaziem don win man of the match .

I have never seen a player rated so poorly in all my years on this thread.

Icon4s:


Chief wetin you dey talk since sef?

'the ball was close' close as how?

All this just to make a case for Alampasu. Na wa o.

TheGoodJoe:


Pathetic ratings because this guy rated Kayode 5 for getting into good positions. Between Iheanacho and Kayode, who got into good scoring positions more.

If he is rating Kayode for good positions, why not Iheanacho who did even more than that.
