We needed a cf not Kai Kai

by December, just like apc keypad warriors are now quiet, arsenal fans shouting pattern and style will agree. Lol. Imagine an Auba in this game. 1st half game is over. Just by positioning and decision making alone, a 9 would have won this game since before Injury started. Like imagine Salah quiet throughout and a 9 for us upfront.....


We meuve.

Unlucky!!

2 key players join the injury list again.
Timber and Gabriel.
He better learn lesson from this. But this draw, i won't take it.

No be wetin coach talk player go do?

No be game reader go sabi when not to and not to? 😹

Anyway, na robot be that.

I miss Ordega days mehn. Coach go expect her to pass, auntie go launch one bad rocket,etc.

isan:
You funny players wey dem don coach to shoot from 40 yards you're expecting a one two pass inside the box ? No chance

Player like chidi and afolabi could do a lot with the ball but coach said dem should shoot anyhow

😂😂😂😔😔

Shey they too no sabi use their own ball sense ni?

WarHammer2000:
I wonder what makes Nigerian age grade coaches believe so much in this shoot at sight policy. I remember the U-17 Coach did the same at the AFCON with Hope Linus squandering all our plays with aimless and useless long shots. Even the commentator got fed up with the nonsense at some point. We eventually lost that game to Burkina Faso.

I see it as a symptom of mental laziness and tactical ineptitude. Why take the pains to coach my team on how to break opponents' midfield and defense with sensible passes and player positioning, when they can just fire random shots from 50 yards out and pray for the best?

What a joke.

The commentator of our last two games complained in his own professional way about the uselessness of that and how it was now a habit than an attempt to get ahead in the game. 40 shots against DomRep!!! 1goal


A team that we suppose score at least 5 seeing how they were.

See that nonsense shot by Afolabi that went to corner. All she need do was play 1_2 with her next green shirt.

ThePresenceWtf:
Calling them "Handlers" is giving them too much credit. My understanding of a Handler is, one who gives you all necessary information, resources and prepares you adequately to carry out a mission....and when you hit a stumbling block, they're quick to pivot to a new plan...These ones right here are palmwine tappers 😂😂

Including everyone in charge of the men's underage level teams. Every aspect of life in that country, from leadership at the top, to the administration, to every thing in between...Every single one of them are incompetent!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Your own harsh but i welcome it.

I chose handlers cos it limits them from being managers or tactician. More like interims or just a figure head for convergence. Nothing more. No matter how they try, they can't upgrade to managers or game readers or fixers or researchers. They're just there, handling the team but not about the main reason the team is there.

deltafly:
To confirm the incompetency of the Nigerian ,he only made changes when players are injured . The USA team was not extra ordinary ,the Nigerian coach failed in his duty . Players are tired he refused to make changes .. NFF will appoint him again ..The team got too excited 😊 for winning 3 games in the group .

I wish i can join you to say he failed. He did not fail. He succeeded at what he does best-cluelessness and no tactical nous. Bankole Olowookere excelled at mediocrity!!

A Game of Adherence to Instructions


USA players switched twice. We were dominating and they were eager to transition slowly on ground.

They then discovered our high line and began to play overhead and got goals and chances that became offside. In response, we reduced our usual press and they got comfy at the back. Then the dumbest of all instructions-shoot anytime, anyhow, anywhere, whoever, however, and go on as you please. As i said, USA will be a test for our backline.


As isan don tok, we don see the talents. We meuve.


Basco go Happy if i tok this next one but I won't. Our GK....



Shameful exit.

ThePresenceWtf:
Ohh Nigeria!!! what have we ever done to thee, that you keep giving and installing PalmWine Tappers at the helm of every affairs in this country! 😭 😭 🤦‍♂️

Danjuma- handler and clueless

Olowookere - handler, clueless

You'll think rewarding them with another World Cup is because they're doing great and exceptional stuff. The shadow of the talents is what is causing such pov to exist.

Man sees how wack 4/5 attackers are wack at shooting, yet his order is shoot from at most 40yrs out. Are they Roberto Carlos?? Also shows he knows NOTHING regarding their strengths and weaknesses.

semid4lyfe:
Your own even better

I took a detour to UFC 308, Max Holloway was knocked the f^¢k out.

Madrid lost

Flamingoes lost, not surprisingly I must say.


A really sad day.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Omo

4-0
2-0
K0

0 is common 😑😔😔

deltafly:
Why are they shooting careless

His instructions since Dominican Republic game.

What's annoying is the shots are wack, weak and annoying. No sense to even take advantage of a 4v3 situation. Na just shoot nonsense.


If Afolabi was trained on shooting practice, this game for different. She is the most terrible shooter on this team. Oh my!!!

The man that wants to win tournament can't even read the game.


How ironic!!

I no watch again.

I support madrid and Flamingo and they chop goals

Chai😔😑

AkinDS:
Clearly, the Nigerian coach's poor footballing knowledge on full display here, as he seems to have lost the plot.

Never seen the team this disjointed and clueless as to what to do next.

The US center-backs are having a field day shutting down the Nigerian frontline.

Nigeria's right flank is the weak link and that is where all the US attack is coming from.

And it is over. There's a reason i call him "handler"

His nonsensical high line and shoot order when we ought to work our way into the box has stifled our attacking threat.

2-0

Ifituzue and Ekezie out injured. I pray this doesn't haunt us. Usa utilizing calm transition and spaces. i do not understand why Moshood is not helping her RB.

That goal line clearance better be capitalized on this 2nd half.

They're also targeting Afolabi intentionally. It's obvious our handler didn't plan for such outcome. Smh

VDM want to break Bobrisky Attention seeking record. I don't think all these are mere coincidence. These are pre-planned moves that fits right in to the trajectory of the Nigerian social media space.

robosky02:
Nigeria automatically qualifies for AFCON 2025

With 10 points

Watch as someone in NFF will push for homebased to play the remaining qualifiers😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹


They suppose drop apology letter and then serve them match ban. If Plane crash, CAF and Africa for hearam. Nonsense!

This man no wan do any business with Rinsola ba? Nawa o

isan:
It's just the south Africa coach being too arrogant , she approach every game with same tactics...

Na why she go dey hang for international repute dey go. They got hype because we allowed them due to our careless approach at wafcon that year. Mtchew. Will she learn?
Im sha happy they're raking up quality friendlies compared to us wey dey play Algeria.


I'm looking forward to Ghana's re-emergence. They deserve it.

Banyana Banyana suffered a heavy defeat against Denmark at Aalborg Stadium.

𝑭𝑼𝑳𝑳-𝑻𝑰𝑴𝑬: Denmark 🇩🇰 5⃣➖0⃣ 🇿🇦 South Africa
⚽️Obaze 51

I'll be wary of Denmark anyway. I watched their game vs World Champs and they gave Spain super big problems from start to finish. Brunn doesn't even act like she wants to score but keeps doing so. Swart or Dlamini. For where.

okoroemeka:
this program must have been in place with adequate infrastructure before subsidy is removed,the government is just playing catch up which will be difficult for them with millions rushing for CNG it will be another crisis upon crisis

Evidently they just want to play some cunny backstage game. I don't believe that they're serious and adequately prepared to change the entire hundreds of millions of autos into CNG and the preparation is this hilarious and scanty. Just as you said, crisis on crisis.


They just popped up and didn't do anything about sensitization one bit. Not even agberos know these stations.

Clowns lead Nigeria

Baba wan relocate but neither Lagos nor Abuja is listed as places he go like settle and colet Breeze?


This is a retirement plan to him too.

So it's not even readily available but they did as of they were ready for millions of vehicle owners? This country.

"but is Trump good for Africa?"

What of the other by inference?

"Is Kamala good for Africa?"

The answers show why all these pandering is baseless.

TheSuperNerd:
Arierhi Kparobo!!!💥💥💥

This lad is the real deal! Didn't shine in the first game as we weren't intense enough, but today we stepped up and he showed exactly why he is Nigeria's next young number 9 on the rise.

Remember his name! Matchwinner!

has Odion Ighalo features.

minfelix:
if not for 9ja which other anglophone country can challenge these arabs and francophone guys…shey na Ghana wey win afcon last 40+yrs ago abi na s/leone,Liberia,Gambia,kenya,Zambia,Zimbabwe?…abi na SA wey dey play like monthly flow

All of them just dey intergalactic mode. It's unbearable.

What is going on with Anglophone football in Africa. This is one of the lowest nominations from this section of caf football. The francophones and arab side are dominating. It will be no rep if not for Nigeria majorly. Ghana piunnn. Kenya.


Smh

Deltamani:
Their Progress to the SuperFalcons will be better and more Smooth if the U20 team have a better Coach..

If it’s Danjuma forget it, he will definitely ruin things with is poor Coaching!

i just don't like him when you think how its impacting things overall. If only sha

isan:
They didn't stall oparanozie , chiamaka, Ajibade,okobi,ohale, Oshoala, it's this set they will stall ... it's on this same thread people want to have waldrum head for not inviting flourish and Ajakaye and went for abiodun ....did you flourish or Ajakaye anywhere near the super falcons ?

stall by not doing the needful for u20 on the progress and development front. Yeah, they are good at that. Don't tell me you dunno how they flog the "wait for your time" drum.

As for the names you mentioned earlier, emergency was top reason for their promotion. You know this.

Spy360:
🗣️Arsene Wenger when asked if he would rather have Harry Kane or Kai Havertz in his team: ‘That depends on the way you want to defend or the way you want to play.

‘Havertz is more of a contributor to the all around game, defensively he works very hard, offensively he scores less goals than Kane and will never score the number of goals Kane scores. He’s more of a 10-and-a-half or a nine-and-a-half.

‘Kane is the centre forward. Harry Kane played for a long time in a team that didn’t win but they have not won since he has left.’
p you can see what we have been saying that Arteta did not have a striker not because he didn't see one to buy but because of the way he wants to play. Which so far is working.

Spy, lol. Apple seeds cant yield grapes. Apples will be apples and so will grapes.

In the ucl so far, we have one of the worst conversion rates for the ratio of chances created. Kai will flourish on that chances created tab, but that's as far he can do. Glad you agree.


Seeing how injuries is impacting our team, we would have needed a striker not because we don't need due to how we play but because you can't use a pattern of play and expect it to yield a sustained tempo of results and goals. Injuries to two key players and our coach is playing 3 flat DMs shows how he is limited upstairs when playing the usual pattern is.

Solution: Get deputies and a striker so we can approach games differently from our usual style. No!!

You're still on this it is working stuff. We are just flourishing in chances created and are wack at finishing. So how is it working this season in ucl with 3 goals from 12/25 big chances, huh?

I've moved past this pattern of play that you keep harping about. Im onto the doing what it takes to never be predictable or caught in a tight space like we were vs Bournemouth. Despite how the chances were created in ucl na 3 goals kpere. We all know that goalscoring is the theme of this year's ucl.

As for the boldened, how is that helping the team so far as regards both goalscoring and finishing. We need a finisher for all the big chances we keep wasting. Besides, respect teams in this ucl. They sabi study everyone and know how to exploit. This is a 2nd year innit, we better use all 5 cylinders instead of making just 2 to work and think that because two are working then the other 3 is no needed.


That Dortmund game many would have given up if it were us not cos we not get firepower or whatever but cos we lack finishing power.

Finishing finishing 🎶🎵

As much as i don't like two of them, I'll rather they go with the "better handler" of the two handlers-olowookere.

Its time they put a woman on that job. Ex-int preferably.

Their age is there but not made public in most cases except you’re going for an international tournament at any of the National team level or going pro Abroad.
