I fear for this team oh. Kanu, ucheibe onumonu, plumptre should never near first team again. They are bunch of liabilities

you're not serious..

Kanu almost scored.. All Kanu needs is a good pass or good cross or good midfield and she will score.. If the midfielders and attackers can play passes among themselves better..... then our attackers will score. only problem is she does not seem to work well with Plumptre.

ucheibe is a defensive rock and titan and she has defensive work rate that only Ayinde and Deborah Abiodun can match.

Onumonu can press and her work rate off the ball is amazing. her only problem is lack of pace. there was an opportunity she had either in injury time or close to 90mins if she had pace she would have been 1 on 1 with the goalkeeper.

Plumptre is tall and good defensively. her problem is pace and the winger on her wing and midfielders leaving her isolated.

daveP:
She was exhausted totally. That's her technical ability. Ineffective when she's exhausted.

you're right.

daveP:
Ucheibe is playing rubbish o😢

At least she has stamina and strength to defend.

daveP:
Why are we not attacking spaces?

Because they are not trained and taught to attack spaces.

CornOak:
Crosses have been horrendous.

We need to start playing long range shorts.

Long range shots will be worse.

That means giving the ball away unless it deflects for corner kicks.

JohnBullMySon:
You guys are to harsh on Kanu. I feel she's just better in counter attack than buildup.

She's better on the right wing.

She should switch with Ajibade.

BascoVanVeli:
That's rubbish talk. Asisat didn't tell then not to control ball or to pass to the other team. Stop looking for a scape goat.

It's what I noticed..

It's how Zambia plays expecting Banda to perform magic on her own.

I can't scapegoat Asisat.

Jaybee3456:
If you had high hopes about this team I'd rather you hust squash them now cos it's understandable to have those performances for an opening game and playing host nation. What's the excuse for this? same complaints since the beginning of the tournament.

ThePresenceWtf:
This team is beginning to annoy the Bleep out of me! what a lackluster performance so far!!

This is how they play when Asisat starts any match.

PDPGuy:
Unbelievable fun fact:

For the first time ever, the Super Falcons have the chance to end the group stage of a FIFA World Cup with a positive goal difference😱

Firstly, they have to win or draw against Ireland...

Super Falcons needs to work on controlling possession and not giving out corner kicks. If the opposition gets corner kick then the tallest super Falcon player should mark the tallest opposition player.. I don't know where Onome Ebi was when Kennedy was heading the ball.''

Its Nnadozie that has been saving the Super Falcons from conceding too many goals...

Now that there's a good GoalKeeper, SF needs to learn possession football and clearing the ball immediately instead of passing it among the defenders, let the midfielders and the strikers learn to pass among themselves so that the ball can be in opposition side on the pitch and not Super Falcons side of the pitch.

Super Falcons must not under-estimate Ireland.

daveP:
Easy on the Ajibade and Randy praises for now abeg. Yeah she did well in this game. I expect more henceforth. It's not going to go away that easily until i see consistency. She was missed in 1st game anyway. But i guess that helped her and Ayinde mentally to give their best. It worked.

Give praises to people who deserve to be praised especially when the going is good..

You can't be easy on praises when people are performing well that's a negative behavior.

They condemned and criticized Ajibade.

SF won and should be praised for their performance after playing against Australian fans, Whyte supremacist referees e.t.c

Super Falcons just need to train and master possession football and they will be unstoppable.

The midfield players and attackers don't make themselves available for passing when SF is trying to pass from defense and that's what led to Australian's 1st goal.

Unlimited22:
There's a reason we didn't take off Uchenna Kanu despite her spoiling plays.

Her, Ajibade, Payne all have pace.

Oshoala is the crowning glory. Don't think anyone else would've got to that ball.

You're correct.

But they shouldn't take off their shirts when they score due to Yellow cards...

the referee and VAR did not review the kick on Ohale for a possible red card even a yellow card wasn't given..

if it was an African player that made that kick it would have reviewed and red card will be given.

BankyGee:
I never expected her to be bad! Man I know she's good that's why I had to make emphasis on the range of time I used in comparing her to Linda Caicedo.

Stop trying too hard, dey calm down boss ✌🏾

When you criticize someone then you already assume and expect the person to perform poorly so that means you already expected her to be bad....

I can't be calm... After all the criticisms and negativity..

without her, Super Falcons won't have won this match...

Jojodjo:
I guess it was Kanu's pace that scored the first goal.
Or was it Ohale's superb pace that birthed the second goal??

Pace without technicality is but of little importance.

Yes everything was pace...

You must criticise shaaa..

If they win you'll criticise. If they lose you'll criticise..

change your mentality... its too negative..

Jojodjo:
Ajibade was not decent in past matches, that's the fact. But she impressed this time and that's what we want to see.
Again, don't compare Ajibade to Caicedo.

Oya... say after me "AJIBADE is better than Caicedo".

BankyGee:
She did exceptional today, but if you can read well, I said "THE AJIBADE I'VE WATCHED IN THE LAST TWO TO THREE GAMES." Read to understand man. I understand tho, na over happiness dey worry you.

I understood you clearly..

That is still a criticism and that's why I quoted your post because you're expecting her to be bad and perform terribly if she plays...

Jojodjo:
Is it the same Onumonu that brought some spark to our attack ?
Demehin that was shaky suddenly becomes prime Maldini to have prevented three goals indirectly .

You make emphasis on speed; what's pace without technicality?

No disrespect but I take it that you spew things that aren't valid or you probably have a different view from what's glaring as the truth.

If it's intentional, fine but if it's not you'd need to rethink your points.

Lastly, in recent time, it's an error to compare Ajibade to Caicedo.....

I hope you can now see why PACE is very important

PACE won us this match.

Onumonu does not have the PACE that Oshoala has to score the 3rd goal..

PACE PACE PACE.. All our attackers must have PACE from now on...

let Onumonu play midfield

daveP:
Ajibade and Ordega have been abysmal lately o. Especially if you judge by their recent games for Falcons. The ish is they are in big teams, but they can't show same in GWG. Always. Like always!!

BankyGee:
Were you really serious when you typed this bro? Even the Ajibade I've watched in the last two to three games she played for Nigeria can't be seriously compared to Caicedo. Not for now.

What do you guys have to say about AJIBADE now

Oshoala shouldn't have removed her shirt now she's yellow carded.

Deltamani

She's a natural defender.

Demehin is also shaky because she's not two footed.

Deltamani:
Lol 😂
U’re funny oooh
Imuran at Right Back how is that Possible..
She isn’t two footed but Left footed only..

She's a natural defender.

Demehin is also shaky because she's not two footed.

ThePresenceWtf:
What are you on about? the ball all literally came to Demehin but she slipped. She could have cleared the ball if she stayed on her feet.

Demehin didn't slip she had over run and was sliding to kick the ball away but she missed the ball.

Deltamani:
If you sub Alozie out you have to move Tony Payne there and bring in Echegini to the Attacking Midfield cause there’s no right back again apart from Makeshift Glory Ogbonna who is worse…

Imuran can play makeshift RB and she's already a defender.

It's better to have 11 players on the field than 10 players.

Alozie needs to be subbed off before they give her a red card

Gift Monday needs to come on for Onumonu.

COOL10:
How was that a yellow card?

Because Nigeria is playing very well they want to give Nigeria a red card.

If an Australian player falls in the box then a penalty.

Unlimited22:
Why is Demehin so uncomfortable on the ball?

Because the football academy she attended did not train her well and she does not train herself on improving.

I hope you guys are watching how Ireland is using their speedy attackers to put pressure on Canada and get past their defenders.

Onumonu and Oparanozie shouldn't be anywhere near the starting 11 they can be on the bench or not invited at all.

Super Falcons should be winning this group easily with type of players they have at their disposal.

Kibbs:
So cus they fielded, we should field too? Who has the gutter mentality here? Sule

Do you people even think as to why those youngsters that play do play? The only reasons as to why that would happen is either because they have a small talent pool to choose from hence, she’s the best they could find or because she’s actually a special talent that is head above others not only in that team but amongst her peers in the world.

Let’s look at the "youngsters" you compare to our dear ajakayes of the world.

Colombian teenager, Caicedo who’s a key player for Real Madrid, WON MVP AT COPA AMERICA OVER STARS LIKE DEBINHA, GEYSE, YAMILA RODRIGUEZ AT 17

Salma Paralluelo - A key player for Barcelona which is arguably the best women club in the world (alongside Lyon)

Guila Dragoni - is on the books of Barcelona

Maika Hamano - won the Golden Ball (best player) at the recently concluded U-20 WC

Melchie Dumornay - Another of one of the best young players in the world and recently signed for Lyon, one of the best women team in the world as I mentioned before if not even the best.

Casey Phair - the 16 year old that was fielded by South Korea, no reason except so she could break the record as the youngest ever at the WWC

Now let’s look at the CV of our own

Ajakaye Opeyemi - FC Robo
Flourish Sébastien - Bayelsa Queens
Monday Gift - UDG Tenerife

Now tell me what achievement or exceptional qualities these girls have over the ones I mentioned above them that play for their countries, I’ll wait. Shouting exposure like the ones that are playing are doing so by accident or it’s exposure that made those ones better than their peers.

Are they better? No. Are they record chasers? No! Are they even better than anyone currently on our team? No. But let them enter like that cus it’s their birthright.. mtcheewww. Better drop your phone so you can go outside and touch grass

There are factors that come into a youngsters getting into a team. It’s been explained here today but since you refuse to read and learn, you continue to wallow in your ignoraminy.

Ajakaye, Sebastian and Gift Monday meet all the factors to be in any team..

If Gift Orban, Victor Boniface, Terem Moffi were Europeans they will be playing for better teams but according to self hating people like you they have to be consistent and be playing for a top side before you rate them as talented and good enough.

That means you're incompetent, lazy and self-hating because you have to wait for Whyte people to rate your fellow country people highly before you yourself have the confidence to also rate them highly.

Its you and your likes that needs to drop your phones because you do not have the intelligence to scout and pick the best Nigerian players in Nigeria because you already degrade and denigrate just because they are Nigerians.

If you were a scout you will fail miserably.

mostob:
What is your definition of accuracy?

Effectiveness and efficiency.

mostob:
You forgot to add the most important factor, FINISHING. BTW the only thing out of those you mentioned which I can confidently say Ajakaiye boasts of is speed.

Accuracy determines finishing.
She has positioning, speed and finishing..

Her accuracy needs to be improved... That's why she's usually the highest goal scorer in qualifiers.

BankyGee:
Bro, I'm a big lover and fan of Ajakaye, but guy stop! This is disrespect to Linda Caicedo I swear. Ajakaye that is not even really good in front of goal? She just has speed for now, while Linda Caicedo has speed, tricks and crazy finishing ability! Scored U17WWC, U20WWC, second game for Real Madrid Women and now Senior Women's World Cup! Please let's know what we're typing on this thread sometimes o before mods ban person for unlawful comparison 😂✍🏾

Haaland, Osimhen, Mbappe, Kane don't have tricks.

They just have speed, positioning and accuracy.

That's what makes a striker in 2023.

That's what Oshoala and Ajakaye have in common.

BankyGee:
Were you really serious when you typed this bro? Even the Ajibade I've watched in the last two to three games she played for Nigeria can't be seriously compared to Caicedo. Not for now.

If Ajibade wasn't good she won't be playing for Athletico Madrid.

Ajibade is better...

Its colonial mentality to speak negatively about your fellow hard working countrymen and women.

Lastly, in recent time, it's an error to compare Ajibade to Caicedo.....

Demehin's 1st World Cup match so yes she should be shaky and despite that shakiness she was the best CB and in the right position to clear passes and crosses..

If Onumonu had speed she would have cut into the box and placed the ball properly into the net... she was already past the defender, but due to her lack of speed she had to take the shot quickly.

I didn't compare them I only mentioned Ajibade's name due to pace...

Ajibade is older and better than Linda Caicedo they can't be compared, its Ajakaye and Caicedo that can be compared but even at that Ajakaye is better.

You don't tell people to rethink their points and never ever say "no disrespect" when you want to intentionally disrespect someone... If you want to disrespect someone then disrespect the person there's no need for a preamble.
