Koboko99:
He should have brought on Mikel for iwobi, chukwueze or onyekuru for Moses. We were under pressure after the goal and Lord Rohr was jus watching

he is just a good man manager...don't really know tactics much.
iwobi will do better if he has mikel partnering with him in the midfield.
and for Moses Simon he should sit on the bench next time.... we need wingers that can beat defenders one on one and not shy away from attack and go defend

Starboytwo:
off course they should feauture, along with ogu

mind you in that match we score beyond 2 goals....

Koboko99:
6 points in the bag....unto the next round
Omeruo played like a gladiator today!

i am still scared for Rohr.... it seems he still don't know his players abilities and the roles that best suits them.

the play today was very poor.... and not encouraging at all even though we won.

iSlayer:
Omeruo MOTM.

save for that goal Ndidi have been better.

nairalandankrah:
Ighalo off

i am so happy that he didnt score in this matchthat ball he fail to pass to musa was unforgiving

klexycole:
Excessive pressure on Nigeria defense.

we cant even initiate one attack again,,,

klexycole:
Excessive pressure on Nigeria defense.

we cant even initiate one attack again

darkelf:
Oga humility, your boy dey loyal

But I did predict a lone goal win at most to Nigeria. Didn't I?

we still have goals in this match...let chuks go to moses wing and bring in mikel
or ogu

darkelf:
I also said we would win by at most a lone goal.

Its still a struggle to me. If you're clearly better, it'll show in the scoreline

please go and sleep

we really need VAR in this afcon

at last... i am relieved
the coach should introduce chuks and mikel we still need goals in this match

klexycole:
Guinea sitting deep, Nigeria is in total control of the game now.

We need to make a change.

Rohr will make changes 5-10 mins to go

darkelf:
Thank God you at least know this

i have watched how musa tried get the ball to ighalo on two occasions now...had it been it was ighalo it won't
have even made an attempt to pass those balls

nairalandankrah:
But he is doing well defensively

and so?we need a goal

edi287:
Might consider bringing in Onachu at some point to spam crosses to him.

as if he can do anything with his head....

sontoly:
Simon very good RB but a very poor winger. Take him out then we can move forward, for now we will continue to be blunt in attack.

exactly.... i have said it severally
chucks or henry should be introduced

klexycole:
Nigeria should strike the iron while it's hot. These Guineans are very beatable, chances should be converted.

exactly bro... there is clearly no leadership in this pitch

Icon79:
Odion Ighalo was just being too selfish there. He should have simply rolled the ball over to Ahmed Musa for a simple tap in.


O pari

na so we see am oooo.
dude wanna win the afcon golden booth

charlesemeka85:
U no Sabi watch Ball. Moses is a better team player

i have not seen that....
may be you should teach me how to watch

Jarus:
The Guinean defender could have intercepted that pass though.

it could have been an own goal you never can tell

Jarus:
This is the poorest performance I have seen from Iwobi.

The problem now is we have in Mikel an even probably worse option for that AM position

let mikel come in for etebo and chuks in for simon and for ighalo he should be made to know that musa and him are team mates and not in a competition

nairalandankrah:
Was ighalo unlucky or just selfish...? In my opinion he should have passed to musa

very selfish player.... should we loose this match
he should find himself to blame.

iSlayer:
The wing play has whittled out as the game progresses.

that moses simon killed the vibes
henceforth chuks should always start when we need a defender we can put in simon

Theophilus Afelokhai: Super Eagles have no AFCON goalkeeping issues

https://www.today.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/05191232.jpg

Theophilus Afelokhai – the Enyimba of Aba first choice goalkeeper, says there is no goalkeeping issues in the Super Eagles, not even in the ongoing 32nd Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.


Afelokhai, a former Kano Pillars captain, says all the three goalkeepers Gernot Rohr took to Egypt are all good enough for the job, stressing that Nigerian football is not in short supply of quality goalkeepers.


The hugely decorated shot-stopper spoke against the back drop of criticism, fears and worries by Nigerians who suggest the goalkeeping department of the senior national team remains the weakest point of the squad.


“Nigeria is blessed with lots of good goalkeepers,” the soft-spoken goalie told newsmen in an exclusive interview.


“And at any point in time, the bests are picked to represent the country even at the ongoing Nations Cup in Egypt.


“I believe we don’t have any reason to worry about the qualities of the goalkeepers coach Rohr took to Egypt.


“I don’t also believe there is any need to say the Super Eagles goalkeeping department is weak, no.


“Individually, they are fantastic goalkeepers, as a team, they are doing well and we should support them with prayers.”


Many, especially those who follow his career in the domestic top flight, NPFL believe he’s ripe enough to be the Super Eagles’ number one. But Afelokhai reasons differently, saying God’s time is the best.


“When it pleases God for me to make it in the Super Eagles, He will make it happen,” he said.


“One has to wait for God’s appointed time. There is time for everything and for everybody. Those who are in the team right now are worthy of it, so we must support them through prayers.”


The Super Eagles tackle Guinea in Alexandria today, in their second Group B match of the ongoing 32nd Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, needing a win of whatever margin to book a ticket for the Round of 16 . The kickoff is 3:30pm Nigerian time.

to be honest it is wrong time to post this...
a very very wrong time.....

forgiveness:
The scores should have been 3 goals to nothing in favour of Nigeria if Ighalo and Iwobi had scored.

We dominated them.

iwobi shooting like a pregnant woman and ighalo selfishness...the naughty coach was still clapping for him
like player like coach

semid4lyfe:
What did Mikel do for the team against Burundi? . . . Please don't come with the argument he was played out of position.

first tell me.... what has etebo done so far?

how well has he held the midfield and how many shots has he made from that position or lang range passes

Curtisaxel7:
Mikel for start ahead of Etebo.

i tell you.... so painful to know that the old german still don't know his first 11
excuses will not save him this time

semid4lyfe:
Mikel does not have Etebo's work rate. On Chuks for Simon, I agree

work rate that translate to nothing...what has the workrate achieved for us so far?

Onozboy:
Mikel just dey laff

rohr is funny now...
which coach will bench mikel for etebo?

charlesemeka85:
Musa plays better as an impact sub. He is below par in this game

that was how keshi used him in the last afcon we won...
Ighalo just missed that golden chance

klexycole:
True.

i am just sad...play like this against senegal we are gone.
rohr really need to get his priorities right...
he does not know how to use this players - maximize their potentials

Jarus:
Moses Simon not impressive. He may lose his shirt permanently to Chukwueze of he continues like this.

he has already lost it....
mikel wold have played in for etebo and chuks in for simon
