This coach is virtually barking orders

Dey go, dey go!
Play to the whistle!!
Continue for her, put it, put it!!

Local coach!!

Thank God no be only me dey hear am. He is seeing them using tiki taka to beat any press and he still wants this game to be purely robotic from the touchline.


Ordega should have scored that

They're using basic passing techniques to turn our defense around. They don't even know how to finish else na 2-0 at this rate.

Ihezuo and Onumonu at same time
Rash and Echegini at same time
Kilode? 🤦🏽‍♂️

deltafly:
Extremely shameful the team cannot pass ball

Demehin go hold ball like Saliba dey look up without any pressure on her but na opponent las las she go comfortably pass too las las. Usani no dey see free body for middle to connect with so far. Stale combo for midfield

Next training session, if i be head coach, i go ensure one rigid 30mins shooting session from 25yrds out for Christy and Onumonu. Cos

deltafly:
The Nigerian cannot spray passes . This is shameful .. whatever is the outcome this is poor team

From the usage of words this coach dey shout for touchline since match start, I'll say this man na gidigbo mentalist. He wants Usani and christy to body check this Algerian winger every time she's with the ball but they haven't done so with steeze. Smh. He only shouts at the attack if they miss chance. 🤣

DaveP where you dey watch am. Drop link. No worry, I go unban you if spambot do anyhow

Here.

Ajibade is anonymous in this game mehn.

This is shameful. Algeria s are passing out from the back without any iota of pressure in their own half🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

What makes it worse is we haven't replicated this at all since the 1st game. Arggggghhhhhh.

That's what happens when a ignoramus coach plays two points without delegating their zone and duty. Smh. That's a nasty clash. Their natural instinct got the better. Both should not be playing same time. Smh

Algerian are pass the ball better than us and its too glaring. What's this nonsense that Demehin and Usani dey do abeg? To buttress this, even Madugu dey vex for these two for touchline. Why Usani dey do like LB no be her zone. Dem go dey waka enter and she go dey look make Demehin do LB🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️


Till tournament end

we need Mercy Idoko


This underwhelming middle needs a controller

Oluehi supposed start this game IMO. If she's great enough to be 2nd choice at present, why not?

Any cool link pls?

The NFF president is a joke 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️
That interview shows he's a mere figure head obsessed with the title.

lalasticlala:
My wife and I welcomed our twin babies this week. To God be the glory.

We wanted to have our last child, the 3rd but we didn't know that God had another plan for us. We were surprised when the scan showed that we were expecting twins.

Thank God for safe delivery!

As you celebrate with us, may God grant you your heart desires.

Congratulations once again.

This is excellent news. May they usher in a beautiful new phase for this lovely family.

I just feel this chants maybe doing more harm than good on our teams

Set camera and interview many of the falcons and tell them to chant one fans song they know, na laugh go end am. It's that bad. Even the stands are empty at this wafcon. Omo!!

naptu2:
Dr Rafiu Ladipo did a lot for Nigerian football, but he also wrecked our culture of singing and chanting in the stands.

Football chants are never politically correct. Football is like peaceful war and chants should reflect the feeling of the fans.

In the 1980s the whole stadium used to sing along with the supporters club and there were different songs and chants for each situation. The singing in the stands reflected what was happening on the pitch and the feeling of the fans.

When time has gone and the team hasn't scored, then you'll hear, 🎵All we are saying, give us our goal🎶 And 85,000 people would be singing the same song.

When the other team has a freekick or penalty you'll hear, 🎵Gba danu, gba danu, gba sigbo🎶 or
🎵Over the bar! Over the bar!🎶 And everybody would chant together.

If we wanted to threaten or warn the opposition or their fans, they'd sing, 🎵Won fi iku sere, won fi iku sere (insert name of opponent), won fi iku sere🎶

Before the match starts everybody would sing 🎵Baba wa ba wa se, Baba wa ba wa se o! Iwo lo wa da wa laiya, Baba wa ba wa se🎶

85,000 people would sing together. Famous musicians like Sam Akpabot would go and join the supporters club.

But Dr Rafiu Ladipo became president of the supporters club and then president of the African Supporters Club organisation and he brought political correctness into everything.

He said that 🎵All we are saying, give us our goal🎶 put too much pressure on the players. He removed songs and chants that could be considered violent.

The result is that what the supporters club plays does not reflect what's happening on the pitch and most times the fans do not sing with them. Their songs do not excite the fans anymore because they cannot relate to them. No new songs are coming up to reflect what's actually happening on the pitch.

We hardly have situations when the whole stadium is singing with the supporters club.

I'll love sports influencers and journos to raise awareness on these chants debacle. Perhaps a new more modern and melodic supporters club is needed, filled with composing songs that will sync with the players on the pitch. That culture needs rejuvenation.


it's time to say goodbye to the trumpet and drums that doesn't trigger a mosquito, and most especially, power hungry fellows that choose ambition and insanity over connections between player and fans


I pray the sports podcasters also raise this issue. Something needs to be done. Songs alone can make this generation return to football fanfare alone. But na grandparents wan dey stands for grandkids on the pitch.

BascoVanVeli:
Naw that song is a classic and the sign of a great Nigerian team is scoring during the song

The new gen need their own nitro song. Days of Babayaro, Aghahowa and Utaka don go. 😂
Its true though, scoring during the chant dey ginger even the weakest player that year.

We need new gen z chants.

joxxy01:
Am I the only one who find that chant of "All we are saying, give us one goal! " Irritating

Lack of Intelligence to me cos every about our chants are from an era of football that no longer resonates with the present. They can't even compose new songs.

Im glad we have Plumptre in the XI.
Alozie should goan reflect abeg.
That Bostwana gk should have been the POTM though.
Watch as he will still not give rest to key player for this Algeria game. Infact he won't still use Chioma. Lol. Rinsola doesn't need to start that game

Rinsola
Esther
Ihezuo
Should rest
Let
Onumonu
Ijamilusi
Oshoala
Start the game

GeneralDae:
Sheybi I talk say we need Oyenezide? She doesn’t have to make rough tackles but when she gets the ball she keeps the ball better and she’s always able to retrieve the second ball. Her shots are also usually very wayward though like most of the falcons except the likes of Echiegini and Plumptre.

When you have Ayinde already, you don’t need a similar player like Abiodun playing at the same time except you are playing Spain and you probably want to get a draw. Abiodun was going forward more often but if the coach wanted someone to do that, why an Abiodun who is not as experienced going forward?

But hey, Oyenezide wasn’t invited so we’ll let that be.

I won't lie, Ucheibe dey fall hand. Na her dey uefa women's comp and she dey do like she learnt nothing to make her stand out here.

If Onyenezide doesn't get the call one day, then make they find a better one. But you see that Idoko, girl is like a Modric. Her vision and passes got even better.

Overall, this man's best ability is frowning on the touchline like Incredible Hulk.

isan:
Ajibade should be in the wing where she can hurt Botswana with her pace.... Payne should be attacking midfielder, is this coach stupid? Why can't he see something that's very obvious

Perhaps man thinks cos she wears 7 so she should start from the wing. Im too pissed at the game tonight. It is also hilarious that as talented as this team is, passing is still a big big herculean problem overall. Omo!!

At this rate, we need both Onyenezide and Mercy Idoko in Falcons. They too sabi passing abeg. Especially Idoko. All I'm seeing are same problems on 2022 group stage and that's enough to sink one's morale even though they'll still top group.


I knew this man will give Chioma the "Attervall treatment"
Smh

Last time vs Bostwana, Ucheibe scored from a CK after her teammates opened up space for her in Saliba-Arsenal style. Im expecting another Rinsola+Oshoala connect for a goal as Zee is good in such moments. I however prefer that Ayinde and Deborah start or Ayinde-Ucheibe. This is a game that needs Toni imo.

Front 3-Rinsola+Oshoala/Ihezuo+Ajibade

Why bother about that as the front for sieving invite? Like with all wey full your chest and bills to settle, na about this "haterz" list you go dey bother about? You get such time.


Let them come if they want or not. If they don't, good riddance. If they do show up, Table don set in presence of enemies. Nobody go focus on them if dem show.


It is true that not everyone needs to show up though. But trying to narrow down to that list of haterz na waste of time and migraine

All these extensions of self esteem issues and degradation of worth to the unimaginable and then the passion to sustain such a lifestyle is worthless and not good

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

That's my reaction abeg.

GeneralDae:
For the quarter finals, I think Morocco would not really be a problem to us if we put our acts together on the day but for Zambia, I just thought of something now though it may sound ridiculous.

Considering the Zambian game is built entirely on their forwards like Barbara and Kundinanji, if we pair Ucheibe and Ohale (then bench Demehin) at the heart of the defence and then Abiodun and Ayinde in defensive midfield, we would frustrate the Zambians big time if we happen to meet.

This was what Randy did to frustrate South Africa at the Olympic qualifiers.

Rinsola and Chioma will be key vs Morocco IMO. But we need a controller for that very encounter when it comes. The players wey go vex me that day na those misplaced passes ones.

The last encounter, both sides were unlucky in finishing. That will be different this time, plus we should be wary of any favouritism. A rewatch of that encounter should b3 enough on how to approach them.

That plastic bottle and toilet roll as shinpad thing by Esther in the dressing room was a joke, right?

Roland17:
Well, he is getting the depth we need, hopefully, he uses them as needed.

Yeah. I hope he does use them. But i do feel for the academy boys lately. They came at the wrong time to graduate.

Symptoms still persist from wafcon 2022. This passing issue.
Whatever Christy did today should be the last. In coming months, the defense will be the least choked with talents and will need fresh legs. The Midfield is too choked with potentials right now but i won't lie, we still need a controller aside TP7. I guess i have to get used to Ihezuo being reliable when called on gradually. But RB2 is a great addition to this attack. She just might be the solution to our slack set piece debacle. Two GA from her left foot already.

Happy for the Arrival of my preferred pointman out of the 2 we chased.

Roland17:
Is Madueke better than Nwaneri? I don’t see it honestly.

Guy can't even near his impact on pitch for real. Unless MA wants to reinvent this one. But I don't see that happening

E no even dey streaming sites
Same way 2022 wafcon started. Smh
