Yes Bassey is not good enough and that's my opinion

Kog45:
Oga comot Bassey

shebi u don comot am yesterday and them flog you🤣…when he played wetin b the score…una dey find cannavaro from no where

Amedino99:
don't you see other national teams playing with purpose? Do you feel any sort of pride in sitting down and watching the super eagles drag out results match in match out? I follow bafana pages on Facebook, I follow south Africans on X, those people are not nice when it comes to rating thier team's performance after a loss. It is the nature of fans to complain, especially us since it's been ages we actually accomplished anything as a football nation. We missed the last world cup and also lost the afcon after scoring first. Even the 3 lions still get heavily criticized despite them getting to the final in the last 2 euros and making the quarter and semi final in the last two world cups.

but you can never see a bafana or 3lion fans supporting their foes coming to rubbish their country play after a bad result they will do it themselves and and still protect their players and national team against external “olote”….Nigerians will join their enemies to tear down super eagles

sit down relax and enjoy the game…it can crack on either side…u go just wound yourself with back and forth emotions concerning super eagles.
oga your first question…yes i feel a whole lot of pride watching super eagles play…i only feel sad when they lose i dont feel aggressively fanatic when they lose cos i know tomorrow same guys can turn and get to afcon final..make una no kill una self

if i be AE i would announce my stepping aside this morning and being in the technical whatever i will ensure the federation goes for the best of the best coaches around africa,europe or south america…lets see the magic he will perform for the WCQ(offcus i will still support whosoever takes the job).
if the new coach comes in, let him bring in all the u20 academy player to face rwanda in march.
i will be so glad if those academy u20 players qualify us(offcus i will support them wholeheartedly)

Danielnino00:
Why is it that it's whenever the super Eagles loss or draw a game that we see all sort of new monikers coming here with ridiculous suggestions?
Somebody was saying we should recall Musa and Moses ..
Now, another is saying we should discard half the team and fill their place with Academy players?
Na wa o 🤣

Asssiiiiiiiin eeehhnnn so so so annoying meehn…i agree that we should criticize the team and not telling one cock and bull analysis….bring academy boys to play Rwanda wey need win to qualify, and also topping afcon group.
once we lose like this super eagles is the most irritating national team in the world….all i know is that this super eagles with a right and discipline formation is still the same super eagles that got to afcon final

Meliforme:
Sometimes you need severe criticism to become better.
We have every reason to demand and expect more from our players.
We have players with better skills and exposure, we retain good reasons to bring our team to censure when they fail to yield proper results worthy of their estate.

Look at Ivory Coast and tell what would have happened, if much was not demanded from the team at the just concluded AFCON.

you will only end up having nothing, when any slight 1-1 will make you rubbish the team…no need to sugar coat your aim of criticizing the team, the kinda criticism here makes people come to feel as if super eagles is Gibraltar 🇬🇮 or Georgia 🇬🇪 ….if this team wins another match tomorrow they will suddenly be the best….
una severe criticism makes them better per game…cant you people maintain their betterment for a long period wether lose,draw or win….your most loved football club will lose scandalously to one ekuke team, if another fan come to shade them for losing you will defend them as the best and refer their past games where they were sweeping teams aside.
Chelsea fans especially..just watch and see how their Nigerian based fans defend their failure instead of severe criticism…una turn super eagles to Germany.
This is Africa whether we play against 126th ranked team or not, we are familiar foes…every top nations experience loss within their confederation due to see finish and regular meeting of each other

u see this WCQ we will see how it goes, if our boys add determination and character to their game, we wont lose any match in that wcq series.
I knew there is now way we would play Benin and Rwanda 4good separate times and we would now beat them for that 4good separate times?….habaaa where does that happen…shey na club football?
you are playing a familiar foe
AfconQ 2times
WCQ 2times
and y’all feel there wont be a misconception,slip in concentration,tactical let down, costly mistakes?…
Like y’all wanna meet
Rwanda AfconQ/WCQ4times and beat them 4times?
Benin AfconQ/WCQ 4times and beat them 4times?
even Brazil, Argentina,England,Belgium cant meet us back to back 4times and take 12points from us…there must be a slip up some at some point

M7even:
When I say our football has declined since the 90s. Look the way Morocco is whipping Lesotho right now.

bros Moroco will enter afcon now and ordinary SA will send them packing(okay sorry for calling SA ordinary)when they had herve renard as coach na ordinary Benin republic send them parking in 2019 afcon, world cup semifinalist wey SA beat like thief 2-0 at last afcon…i appreciate and admire their ruthless attack…but i will count those kinda teams as fluke if they cannot make meaningful transition and keep permanent class on tournament stages…since 20yrs ago morocco smell afcon final…abeg make dem go sitdown

Samueltemi337:
We are suppose to clap for them when dey lose match?
No fan base want their team to lose
So any super eagles fan reacting this way is totally okay

you are suppose to totally rule them off and tag them as the “whackest” football team in Africa…i follow bafana bafana page and also lesotho.
When bafana lost 2-0 to rwanda, struggled against South sudan and draw 2-2 with uganda…large percentage of their fan base stood with the team still okayed hugo broos as their savior.
currently lesotho chop 7-0 their admin only said “another bad day in office, and i read most of their responses…there were only sightings some players that should have played.
Our own na dont ever invite this one again…this is the worst super eagles team.
everyday we lose is always the worst super eagles game…our final against CIV was once the worst super eagles game…even 1-1 against equitorial guinea people like your don dey clamour for Nff to sack jpes….Nairaland here has one of the most petty cinderella fans of all 9ja fans page….why should today’s loss determine wether the team is good or not….we won benin 3-0 Iwobi was the best midfielder in this world, we won libya 1-0 iwobi should never smell our midfield again bashiru is better than him….oga confusion dey smell like shit for this page…salute to those that knows this sam super eagles can still defeat morocco and egypt in our next match if there is any fixtures of such….but like this like this
Libya would have beaten us in Libya…..what im i even saying, after our 1-1 against e/guinea all of una don conclude say round 16 na last bustop

Nigerian Fans base: a base that doesn’t wanna see super eagles lose any match😂🤣.
You lose to Argentina “change coach change coach!!”
You lose to C.A.R them go scream “change coach change coach”!
One player put a decent shift in Europe they will clamour “bring him bring him”!
The player fails to show up them go shout “rubbish player rubbish player”
This coach is defensive and conservative bla bla
This coach doesn’t strike confidence in me.
This keeper is doing well in italy, he should be our number 1, with strong clamour boom!! we lose “he is not ready”.
Nwabali errooor!! Nwabali is gooooood!!
Sanusi is a carpenter!! booom! I miss sanusi
Oh no i miss days of Mikel/Enyeama/victor moses
boom!! mikel weakling midfielder(plays back pass alot)
Victor moses is too proud and doesn’t like to relate with his team mate…boom!! boniface is a comedy-footballer

Make Nigeria get 10straight wins…1 small loss will have fans defining the team’s future and present….
Defensive/attackminded bla bla bla
UNA NO DEY TIRE!!!
like this we should not even play WCqualifiers we cannot win any match again.
Eguavoen is whack!
bring back jpes no sack him bring back rohr..are you mad? when we have Amunike.( Amunike lose 2 matches with heartland, he becomes the highest carpenter coach).
most confused fans base in the world

zicky:
Exactly, we are now comfortable losing at home. Even the 2015 set of SE that we call our lowest point were not this poor at home.

but that set too lost at home to small Congo

oga our first 11 will always be
Nwabali
Aina
Ekong
Iwobi
Ndidi
Lookman
Osimhen
Bassey
Ajayi
Simon
all this try this try that yen yen yen nonsense…if these guys no start match super eagles is just another washed Ghana

omo see the way Ghana coach 🏃🏽 enter field go celebrate 1-1🔥

if iheanacho puts a decent shift and we win this game= “He is still not good because this is a dead rubber match”
if we lose or draw to Rwanda with iheanacho in the fray
= “that guy is washed, imagine struggling with common Rwanda”
its well

super eagles back in Nigeria for Rwanda…its reported that Ola Aina has returned to England

elyte89:
To me ,Southies are very unpredictable just like us..when u think Dey av arrived,na dt time one mumu country will just defeat dem at home…one thing is sure ,I can’t c any oda team in our group winning the remaining 6 Wcq games

i can bet it SA will not take 6points from Lesotho and Zimbabwe , SA wil not beat Benin in CIV…i go stake all these matches when time near

AndSunGorilla:
The Southies are in a good rein of form now. I think their coach has built a good team. Honestly, it would be a tough fight to win top spot in our WCQ group. I think our better chances are probably the play-off route.

🤣🤣 omo for November you don conclude say your best chance is a play off with 6more matches to go?…because southy beat uganda 2-0?….omo southy go really pick maximum 18points b that oo..walai i go bend

elyte89:
Our next two qualifying games will determine our fate if we would qualify or not..we need to win the next two matches while we hope one of SA OR BENIN 🇧🇯 DRAW one of their matches ..if we can get that ..automatically we av reduced d point gap to 2points .with this scenario,we now have it in our hands …anything short of this…we no Dey go anywhere 😎

Exactly baba…Ben v SA (on match day 6) will definitely drop point, one will or lose or both draw.

EEGA:
In the first half, the Cheetah's pressed on our defence.They kept on attacking our 3-man back-line that you will truly wonder if there was one screening or shielding the defence.

They easily went through our midfield, thereby exposing the CBs to a barrage of attacks throughout the first half.

When things like this happens,the coach should react by throwing in combative,distributive and scoring midfielders.

Bashiru and Onyedika should have entered the game in the beginning of the second half to complement Ndidi.

Ralph's introduction stabilised our midfield and not our reversing to a midfield three.

Ahead of the start of the WC qualifiers where we need to win all our games and not our usual home win,away draw.

Bashiru and Onyedika must start in our midfield.The pair are the only midfielders that can get us goals when the going gets tough and our forwards are being marked, doubled or tripled upon whenever they have the ball.

Any of our line-up going forward or in a competitive game must have these two scorers in mid-field with Simon completing our attack.

Throw all your scoring guns in our next WC qualifiers.

Should we go with a 3-4-3, Simon starts alongside Lookman and Osimhen but must come from the left because that's his most effective position.

In a 4-2-4 which best suits both Simon and Lookman and makes our team more balanced and stable.

Ndidi starts alongside Onyedika in a double pivot.

Bashiru starts on the Right side since he is left footed, and should be made to drift into the midfield occasionally i.e playing as both RW and CAM.

Simon plays the LW.

Osimhen and Lookman leads the attack or Osimhen leads the attack while Lookman plays as a support striker in a 4-4-1-1 i.e just behind the main striker.

Simon,Raph and Bashiru have no business on Super Eagles bench.They should henceforth be part of all Super Eagles subsequent starting XI.

This is the only way for us to make it to the 2026 WC after missing the previous edition.

one thing for sure Nig will not win all 6remaining matches😂😂 while the rest will lose more matches than Nigeria in the remaining 6matches…SA esp will use draw soup baff next next year…Benin will draw tire and maybe win 1 or two matches and lose like 1…u see Rwanda those ones will lose like 2 matches on their home ground..Lesotho will come all out to sting all the big teams in that group dragging them into okro soup…Zimbabwe PHCN officers full that team
March 2025(5)

Mujtahida:
Please always add Ghana. They are now certified minnows.

🤣🤣🤣

Kog45:
Kenya are not minnow in the 80s,in fact they made Afcon 88 and i do not think Yekini had any goal against Madagascar, Comoros, Lesotho, CAR, Equitorial Guinea and Rwanda cuz it was not easy then in the 80s for these teams to face bigger teams due to strictly CAF features.

A well widespreads features would have seen Yekini scoring more than 37 goals but anyhow Osimhen is going to beat that record with ease.

South Africa came into the party late in 1991 due to aparthied but fast forward they won Afcon 96,meaning they are not amateurs....yes we beat SA, 4-0 in Lagos but return leg was war and it ended 1-1

bros what Kenya and SA were in those days is what Comoros and Cape verde is replicating today…
Kenya since their existence has just qualified for 6afcons out of 34afcons…oga dem be Afcon underdog biko.

Goke7:
We still have minnows in fact they are in our wcq and afcon groups but na we Dey fall hand. I checked through the Afcon qualifiers ours look the easiest. Imagine we had even Angola or Zambia in our group wetin the eagles for play, our boys need to be doing better

Yes i agree, but note one thing these guys may be minnows but wont wanna keep living in those name tag “minnow”
comoros ousted Ghana from the afcon, CAR has beaten many top countries(Algeria,Egypt,Nigeria).
Lesotho waking up…in the next 10/15yrs teams like sao tome, south sudan,Erithrea,mauritius will also start proving a point.

Super Eagles gk stanley Nwabali sadly announces the passing of his father🥺…our condolences to the family of Mr Nwabali

i so love the way our games progression against Benin is panning out..thank God we've tasted defeat,drawn and also won them…it was never going to be a 100% record against them…their game was poor bla bla bla we were never gonna take 12points in all 4matches against them na..they outplayed us but came to uyo to collect 3-0…our last game with them is the final match day 10 of WCQ October in uyo..atleast we no what to expect…even Rwanda..we just need to record 3straight wins against them starting from Monday…infact Rwanda own dey fear me…can we do the double against them? Beating them here in Uyo and also going to kigali in March 2025 to still beat them?..these guys find extra energy when they play super eagles…i hope we can also beat them in kigali the way libya did…even if its just by 1-0
These guys are ahead of us in the WCQ

Samueltemi337:
If There was no Osimhen in AFCON 2023 we for nor reach finals
Forget say Na just one goal he score
But the penalties he won and assist took us to the finals

very unpopular fact🔥

opes:
Then we should also remove Yekini penalty goals and all the goals he scored against minnows and see what remains of his 37 goals.

infact those days minnows were really MINNOWS…like very very poor african teams…not now wey minnows don dey wake up
Madagascar
Comoros
kenya
Lesotho
CAR
Equitorial Guinea
Rwanda
these teams during yekini days were highly mumulized…dem no sabi play anything…even SA during our golden generation days were real amateurs

lbrichman2:
Firstly, I think the news that we had already qualified removed the urgency in our boys
They knew they didn't have to exert themselves too much..

Secondly, our setup in the first half was wrong
If we played a balanced midfield in the first half, we would have scored
Thirdly, our boys were too cautious. They were obviously trying to avoid injuries
Looks like Aina took a knock
I hope it's not too serious..

Now we can rest our first team, and play the other guys against Rwanda..

Job done!
Now we focus on getting to the world cup

spot on!🔥🙌🏻

Clint02:
We were completely outplayed.

though not good enough, the question is, how does this stat interpret us being outplayed abeg?
shey na that 12 aimless shot be the outplay wey dem outplay us?

thank God it ended in a draw…but i dey ask if this match was a much needed game to qualify na so we for play?…….with our style of play against Rwanda away,Benin home,libya home…what really went wrong?

Unlimited22:
Defending is part of football.

How many clear cut chances did we create and how many did they, prior to the goal?

bro we camped them in their own half, how is that them outplaying us…our attack was not jus biting

Unlimited22:
We no deserve this draw tbh. We've been outplayed.


Osimhen thank you o

How many goals to the record now?

we were not outplayed ooooo…Benin were defending ooooo…na all of us fey watch dis game oo
