Credit to Mozambique.

They played for nearly an hour with 10 men and still BEAT Nigeria 1-0 in the second half.

There's a reason why Nigeria hasn't won a friendly game in 5 years....just not a very efficient team.

Joebie:
Have we beat any good team under Peseiro?

Barryseal:
Let's not waste tax payers money going to the Afcon if Uzoho is the person playing in goal.
Best we withdraw from the tournament and save hard earned dollars fooling around in Abijan.

Tobichimezie:

Yes Sao Tome

Best we withdraw from the tournament and save hard earned dollars instead of fooling around in Abijan.

Joebie:
make we convert that money to palliatives money, as e never reach many people

Tobichimezie:

Uzoho should have found a more fitting career, cause football definitely wasn't his calling.

Napoleon55:
At least we broke the jinx of not winning a friendly games today

forgiveness:
We suppose win with a very wide margin like 8 goals to nothing but thanks to Moses, Sadiq etc wey dey miss chances and Uzoho wey dey leak

TheSuperNerd:
Actually yes. The exact profile that will elevate our middle game quality alongside what we have on grous now. But the team for Afcon has been picked. Too late to include Nwakali now as things stand.

The focus remains on the players Jpes is working with.

andrewbaba44:
Just saw that we won 3-2

I am not a prophet but I can guess uzoho must have caused one of those 2 goals we conceded

skallion7:
You've no right to say a player is not fit for the team, when you're know as promoting a mediocre player like nwakali. Guy you're a shameless mtchheew

Barryseal:

He should be investigated for match fixing too. It's not making sense any longer.

TheSuperNerd:
Frank Onyeka fizzled out from the moment Onyedika left the pitch on 61mins. His shine as seen in the first half dimmed as Aribo was now deployed to the middle to pair Onyeka since Lookman had also come in same time Onyedika was pulled out.

This meant more defensive duties and less charges forward for Onyeka since Aribo is there now. Did they compliment each other in the middle between minute 61 and Minute 75? Not so much.


Then on 75mins, Iwobi came in for Aribo. Same story. Onyeka had to stick to the role Onyedika had vacated.

There are players who play better when paired or played with the right partners in a department or on same side on the pitch.

The reason we saw an Onyeka goal today was Onyedika's cruise control from deep permitting Onyeka to make those late runs forward and unleash his ball striking.

Thus quality disappeared almost with Aribo and Iwobi moved/brought in alongside Onyeka in the middle on 61 and 75mins respectively.

PERSONNEL MATTERS BUT PERSONNEL SYNERGY MATTERS MORE.

komekn:


Very rarely will you ever find Lampard playing with Gerard at the same almost NEVER.

skallion7:
forgive my error, was in a hurry

Napoleon55:

This game na opportunity for Osimhen to stat pad,but injury happens,at least 2 goals he would have scored today.

Tobichimezie:
Good news is that we will never struggle to create chances and score goals

Bad news is,

Our opponents at the AFCON have probably now studied us and know all they have to do is pack the bus, insha Allah their way to the last half of the game (after we've missed 1,000,000,000,000 easy chances) and then take a shot from the half-way line at Uzoho cause of course Uzoho will do another one of his wonderful acrobatics and spill a speculative shot into his own net.

GAME OVER.
