Everything went wrong. Mikel, Moses most especially are 'dont dirty players', they have no business in the squad. Check the stats, you'll confirm everything was wrong.

I knew the team was no good during the international friendly.

To me, Etebo did not play his usual wing. I don't blame his own goal.. Coach Rohr follow kill us. Why a lone striker (Ighalo) when we needed two?

Mikel, what happened?

To me, the coach got it all wrong, even if u must play lonely striker,how dare u play Mikel as an attacking midfielder?,tactics is the key of a football, even if u hav free Messi and Ronaldo and u didn't get the tactics then u are down.

*3 man defence would have been favourite, Croatia use 3 man defence and they shoke our attack. I remember Wen he tried 3 man defence against Argentina last year, it was successful.


*Mikel can't play 90 minutes.

Kelechi would have been prefer as attacking midfielder instead of Mikel.

Gernot Rohr should punish the Nigerian players by making them only eat Ghana Jollof Rice. grin wink

Until they they win a match or play with some enthusiasm they no dey chop Naija Jollof Rice. LOL

What else went wrong? Of course it's Buhari's bad polices, coupled with 16 years of pdp government.

The two goals were a result of basic footballing errors commited by the team, we are not used fo playjng technically efficient teams in Africa, hence we celebrate mediocrity, the weakness of croatia will be exposed their next 2 games, Nigeria has texhnically ja from d world cup

Etebo the best naija player in the field despite the own goal,

when put Mikel as support striker that's what you get for someone who has been playing defensive midfield for over 10 years has less than 10 goals in the whole of his career

The only thing the coach needed to do was to switch etebo and Mikel roles.

The coach should have maintained the team and style that defeated Argentina.

When Moses was not there, we won.

Too much reliance on Moses, who has turned himself to Ramsey.

Pray:

If you observe, the defensive problems came from the fact that Ekong could not deal with Mandzukic. This what was what led to the first goal (Ekong lost Mandzukic) and in fact on almost all the other corners, it was just a matter of Mandzukic heading wide but hardly could a Nigerian defender deal with the arial threat.

So what we saw there with Ekong wrestling Mandzukic was an his desperate attempt to gain control of the situation.
