Many will not like to hear this but Mikel is not playing anything. Well, so far.

Besides that Balogun blunder they're playing well. They just need to settle they're nerves and play.

forgiveness meet your Algerian brother

He is right, na.

Joebie:
Make Rohr put Omeruo.. There is something not right about in that CB pair

since rohr has refused to have sense....
will you play mikel as an AM?

Today Nigerian fans especially the ones on this thread will learn to appreciate Iwobi.

This ref no get yellow card?

Kalu OUT
Mikel OUT

Patience everyone, patience

He is not at his best

Ighalo is as erratic as anything

Who even predicted this game will be 0-0?

Earthquake3:
Ighalo is as erratic as anything

No, he is not being fed properly to be honest

Take it easy bro

because player make mistake no mean say make dem comot am ok

Not suprised expecting such from Nigerians

Second half still dey

Earthquake3:
Ighalo is as erratic as anything

he has never been good... the Libya match made some nigerians gave him a second chance

Earthquake3:
Ighalo is as erratic as anything

I disagree he is pressing but in isolation, our front line is not pressing in unison as a collective.

The Madagascar team is working hard and pressing as a collective.

I want to add that Awaziem brings nothing to the table.

Sportilitica:

No, he is not being fed properly to be honest

Against this organized side he has to make most of his chances

Midfield is really poor

Sportilitica:

No, he is not being fed properly to be honest

please stop this ...is he a baby?
you can get him breast break

How na

Sportilitica:
Midfield is really poor

very poor...
this reveals that Ndidi have been the backbone of our midfield all this while

Bench is strong, bench is strong. Yet just few changes and we cannot play well.

Why sit Omeruo? Why start Mikel? Abeg, what is the point of these decisions?

How we fight back in this game will determine a lot.. I've been patient to make my verdict on this team. I think we do lots of passes without any real initiative to carve out defenses.

Sportilitica:

How na

i don't understand this filmsy excuses that a player is not feed so he cannot score
so those over 60% ball possessions were what?

Today wey stadium full small..Na em we come dey fall hands

Earthquake3:
Ighalo is as erratic as anything

Shut up your mouth

Everything na ighalo

If ighalo was balogun his family house would have be burnt

I repeat my self ,shut up your mouth

Una go just dey find anything to use enter ighalo

We need games like this to weed out the chaff. Mikel no be am, Kalu is a shadow of himself, ighalo back to type. Writing Onyekuru and Osimhen do Rohr?

Humility017:

Let's view this game objectively.
What has Ighalo done wrong?
Mikel has slowed the game down and has been displacing passes all day.
One would have expected more balls to get to Kalu but somehow he is missing.
Etebo for all his work is yet to make that defence splitting pass.
Ahmed musa needs to make those runs and pray that the pass gets to him.
In summary, we are too slow and predictable

Nigeria doing everything to make these minnows look good


We've been struggling against shiiity teams in our group. Burundi, Guinea now Madagascar. We laff at other teams like Ivory Coast, Cameroon and others but these teams are playing against strong teams (some afcon favorites) but Eagles dey struggle to deal with Afcon first timers. It's really annoying, we should be dominating dis type of matches. There is no excuse


Now some people will come hear and defend this poor display on the awesomeness of our group opponents...smh

I've seen fouls blown against him. A few have been legit. His physical game should have given us some advantage in this game but the ref has not been really good. Ighalo is pressing well.

Earthquake3:
Ighalo is as erratic as anything

Rohr got this one wrong
Bring in Iwobi or Ndidi and take out Mikel
Remove Kalu and introduce either Onyekuru or Chuks
Though Musa has been poor but can still be managed
