AndSunGorilla:

The Messiah would have prevented all this One pass, seven goals!!!

damagnificentusb:


Chukwueze had a decent cameo. We actually played better from the hour mark but we lacked organisation in defence. We controlled the game better and played out from the back better.

BannedLarge:
Now I see why Rohr usually played a defensive anti football against big teams. That’s what peseiro should had done instead he decided to go toe v toe vs a team that’s more technically gifted than us

forgiveness:


We played with two midfielders. Two upfront. Take note.

hatakekakashi:

Remove Bassey, add Chukwueze

forgiveness:
Some people dey shout Nwakili as if he is Inesta or De Bruyne.

minfelix:


Bottled a 4 goal lead against a team that dumped out the Afcon champion(Algeria) and disgraced CIV...

TheSuperNerd:


Mister, focus on what is in front of you.

Our midfield is Terribly terrible. Iwobi needs the right tactically balanced midfield partners. He was our only driving force vertically today.

Empty banters won't fix our midfield but conceeding to the balanced truth of our middle game dynamics will help. That would be a start.

The continued Ignorance of Alhassan Yusuf is a crime. Technically gifted with high workrate.

The non-callup of Raphael Onyedika is a crime and disservice to our team. A lad who bossed a UCL midfield battle vs Atletico Madrid.

The continued ignoring of Nwakali as well is funny and ridiculous coz he also carries a tactical solution that will help address our middle game ball playing deficiencies and poor possession recyclings.

Let us be honest... Unless we would keel repeating the same bloody mistakes.

So again, focus on what is right in front of you.

4-0. I saw it coming. I predicted a straight Portugal win on the TV show this Monday. Didn't even hesitate in my answer when asked.


It is what it is.

fabyom:

Chukweze missed a sitter and Dennis missed a penalty while Portugal got a cheap penalty.
This game is a already a psychological pain to our players. The penalty miss just killed any iota of interest in the game. For me, the game ended when Dennis missed that penalty.

We have a good team in transition.
Nevertheless I believe, we need Nwakali as the second AM.
We move!

minfelix:
Why do people keep hyping some unnecessary football facts that's not working for Nigeria....for God sake what all this "timely sub" was the positive yen yen yen that use to sweet some of u sef....abeg how did the timely sub affect the game...to me going forward if a coach is doing fine, pls there are some real issue/area we should criticize him, not all this irrelevant argument, na so we do sack the one that was doing late sub and employed the tiki-taka/timely sub man that could not qualify us for comon q/final of afcon....so far so good we have lost the glory days of sexy/creative midfield(okocha,kanu,mikel,oruma etc) let us pick up another pattern that suits the present super eagle's i.e defend(esp against top teams), counter,flank-dribble) keep these guys long on the pitch to play if they are not tired even if it's to 75th or 80th mins(it is not the best formation but it worked largely for the present super eagle's from 2017-2021)....
Upon all our "he is substituting earlier, wetin we gain?
We chop am against Ghana
We chop am against Algeria
We chop am Costa Rica
We chop am against Portugal
We chop am against Tunisia
We no still go worldcup tufiakwa

Meliforme:


Gernot Rohr will still go on to lose.

AndSunGorilla:

As pointed out already, if Dennis played the PK against the coach's instruction, he should face consequences for that. Secondly, Paseiro needs to know when to use his 4-4-2, definitely a double pivot would have been better against an opposition like Portugal. I am not convinced about Kelvin.

Subzero047:


Chukwueze has had a good 15 minutes in like 2 years, no

mostob:
why sir? Ekong clearly went to Dennis to collect the ball but the f**l didn't release it.

ABIODUN105:
Please football fans let swallow our pride and bring back Gernot Rohr

Subzero047:


Wow I thought it would be a straight Nigerian win

Samueltemi337:
And JP just lost to all mighty Portugal


since Na excuse we one dey give

damagnificentusb:



Bu..... but, I thought oyenka,ndidi,aribo, iwobi and etebo are our best midfielders. Infact they are the best midfielders in Africa.

And lemme add that Nwakali is not needed we have a "press resistant" midfield maestro like Bonke

codemaniacs:


Did you see how Portugal we're playing triangular football in midfield That's due to midfielders they have and the at least 2 of their forward players or strikers dropping deep to help the midfield..

Subzero047:
'' The level of the opposition is far below what they will face in Qatar'' these people don see us finish

minfelix:


And you think rohr will lose to Portugal 4-0? Make JP first score 4:0 against a formalidable team first make we get hope say he can break stubborn defence

TheLoneCitizen:


That's why he's captain, Dennis is not even a influential talk less key squad member.

We lost without putting much of a fight just as I exepected. Only played lenient to say I hope we go down fighting.

Get the point Pinnick's Busboy.

Philosopher1979:


This loss is a blessing in disguise. We will learn our lessons from this. To me it is good. It is better we learn now and grow

TheSuperNerd:
Iwobi and Aribo swapped places in the middle constantly in that first half.

They both alternately led the press alongside Moffi. Take note.
