Coach Randy Waldrum is the team problem right now, he's having selection problem... Select the rightful ones and make your job easy, don't know if he's scared of the Veterans and big names.


Christy Ucheibe: Had an instant impact after replacing Chikwelu at half-time with a headed goal from Payne's corner kick in the 48th minute. The Combative Midfielder was Full of running and helped keep up pressure on Botswana's defence, I wonder why have been keeping her on the bench. She has no business there .. A combination of Ayinde, Ucheibe, Ajibade// Okobi will definitely be the Superfalcons best Midfield Combo as Ucheibe brings a lot of energy to the Midfield couple with Ayinde own again we're good to go..


Gift Monday: Great game from the young lad... Replaced Ordega in the 63rd minute and could have got an assist if Onumonu had scored from her perfectly weighted pass. Could have grabbed a goal herself but her weak header was saved. The left footer look so comfortable with the ball at her feet, an excellent ball passer, the future is surely bright for her. Hopefully she would get to move abroad soon to improve her qualities more..



Regina Otu: Came on for Okobi in the 63rd minute to add more legs to the midfield. The Midfield didn't have the luxury of shining as Christy Ucheibe stole the show...



Uchenna Kanu: Replaced Ajibade in the 75th minute and she helped keep possession and add an attacking drive. Not a bad cameo but I'm still wondering why Randy haven't started her.



Maclean's Chinonyerem : Came on for Onumonu who deserved rest after a lot of tireless running in the 82nd minute. Nothing spectacular though but she surely need more minutes to prove her worth her well built physic will definitely come handy for the Superfalcons...

Ucheibe is the missing link in the Midfield, Very Combative and Energetic… with her and Ayinde and either Okobi or Ajibade in Midfield things will surely flow well…
Ucheibe covers a lot of Ground as she's a born hustler very tireless her effect was felt the moment she came in, need I say more. Halimatu was more mobile and effective. No need for Rita abeg, she can come in the 85th Minutes when we we need to see games out and for her to increase her caps too �.

The last 20 + mins of the game was very fluid, i am sure the South African will be watching that our match against botswana, and hoping we played a draw, so the y kick us out of the tournament by going to playing a draw with botswana in the 3 match. Also the last 20 mins will tell the south Africans that, Nigerian tem have great players, however it selection that is a problem, so they no to watch their back, they can take the Aisha buhari cup, we would take the AWCON

JohnBullMySon:
I know losses can be frustrating to but we throw tantrums a lot. One loss and everyone's bitching everywhere.

Danielnino00:


So people aren't allowed to air their view again?
We shouldn't call out the coach after his rubbish team selection in yhe first game?
If we can't do all that, then what's the point of being fans?

BascoVanVeli:



Be careful before someone starts calling u a racist

semid4lyfe:


I agree cos it'll be suicidal to play two slow centre backs

I think Ebi is better than Ohale so I'll rather bench Ohale for Ashleigh Plumptre.

My back four would be Payne (LB), Plumptre (LCB), Ebi (RCB) and Alozie (RB).

Samueltemi337:
Toni Payne should Mount that LB position from now on


but it seems she links with ordega Better


Ashleigh Plumptre can start ahead of ohale

lovewins:


Toni Payne is noth an LB. If we meet a team with very mobile wingers we'll be punished cause we'll be left exposed most if the time. But when we meet lower ranked team I think we can stick to this strategy.

One thing has become obvious, the super falcons lacks wingers. So far all we have her makeshifts. We need to get true wingers into the team.

lovewins:


Bro, you're being disingenuous. What "errors" are you referring to? First, it's clear to everyone that Ashleigh was played out of position, but she despite that put up an A game. Yes the first goal was as a result of her being beaten by her man, but she made efforts to slow down the South African, so our next man can stop the ball comfortably which Sadly Ebi didn't do. Any sincere person obviously wouldn't absolve her of responsibility from the first girl, but neither will Ebi be absolved. She as responsible as Ashleigh was.

We can't also say she hasn't "shown" she is better. She's had a few games for the Falcons some of which she's being played out if position and she's done very well in my opinion. This takes nothing from Ebi. She's obviously the most experienced and she's also done very well for us the last 2 games.

If I were the coach, I'll play Ebi and Ashleigh and bench Ohale.

Oga me ni be tantrum be dis?

I agree on Tony Payne mounting the LB but that should be on the short run. She is too intelligent to play the LB for us. We need her upfront.

Schemerkhiz:
Randy lost back-to-back games to SA & he said, it doesn't mean anything, the fans & media should hug him. His team played poorly in his first WAFCON game & managed 2 goals against Botswana.

You can only get such a statement from a coach who is not at the same level as the team.

I have done my best, right now I'm no longer in for this..

JohnBullMySon:
You don't get the point. First lemme just say I don't like people who react too quickly, are impatient or I feel are too sentimental. Secondly I'm generally not quick to blame coaches no matter who it is because the job itself is dicey and you can make wrong decisions not because you're poor. That's just the volatile nature of football. You can choose to field a player who has performed well in training only to be disappointed on the pitch. You cant control the actions of players -directly- and you can't judge a player based on a single poor game. So saying a coach makes poor selections based on one or two games is plain silly.

The most rational way to judge a coach's performance is one; how appropriate are his substitutions? Two; how tactically diverse is he? Randy's substitutions were on point yesterday. He isn't a god to know who will perform poorly on the pitch after a good training showing.

solonnachi:


Nerdie.... I am really enjoying your analysis and highlights. Please don't leave this thread...You are one of the reasons I love to read comments on the sports section on nairaland.

Danielnino00:
I have a question...

In the event that we win the tournament, will Oshoala get a winners medal?
She is officially part of our squad but now withdrawn..Will that affect her chance of getting a medal?

Danielnino00:



People who reacted to the SA game weren't harsh,neither were they too quick...They are people who most likely have been following the super falcons for long and saw how Randy has handled the team... He hasn't made any improvement...
The man is just another version of Rohr..

Schemerkhiz:
I'm not surprised about Randy Waldrum's poor attitude & game plan.

He's a NUGA coach, the job is bigger
than him.

Super Falcons have won 9 AFCON titles & qualified for all World Cup, Randy is not on the same level as the team.

NFF gave him the biggest job of his life.

Schemerkhiz:




Randy Waldrum wants to coach the biggest and most successful team in Africa, and he doesn't want the media & fans to have an opinion.

The media in Morocco have cooperated with his poor management, how that statement came out of his mouth proved the job is bigger than him.
