charlesemeka85:
if em see opportunity to cross ball why em no go cross am? No be professional player?

Bro that’s one of basics and if he can’t do it as a pro when the opportunity arises I wonder wetin him go fit do

If him do wetin him suppose do, isn't that all that is expected?

Basically our complaints come from players not doing what they are expected to do.

Kilishihunter:
The number of times they've dribbled osayi in this game eh, and we also have onyemeachi on the other side though bassey is covering for him well

May God deliver us from discovering bad players because sometimes these bad players take up space and prevent you from seeing good players. That's why I am eagerly praying for their playing days for SE to be over. I wish them all the best in their clubs.

Elnino9:
We need to add like two more..God abeg😭😭
I would serve you forever

😂😂😂 Omo Nigerians dey crazy oo. You quickly rededicate your life to God

Goke7:
Na wa o

Same thing last Afcon. Abeg oo

minfelix:
omo Osimhen, na this kind sweet header you dey score naaa

Maybe he's jinxed for Afcon

Zellas:
If Awazie cannot bench Osayi, what exactly was he invited for?
There are players you see in the lineup and you just get demoralized.
Well I blame who invited them in the first place.

I'm just praying for the day Osayi will cease playing for us. He's the most ineffectual RB Nigeria has ever had. He gives me jitters

NasirIbnLaAhad:
We make other teams play better. The fear of Nigeria is the beginning of wisdom. Simply for our pedigree alone, a lot of teams are frightened of us to the core, so they come at us with everything they've got. Our posh innit boys don't see it way though. They're all vibes and inshallah. Many of them can't mark, track back, hold possession, take risks and/or stick their necks out to make vital tackles or interceptions. They don't rate themselves as highly as others rate them. They're talented but not disciplined.

You have said it all.

CornOak:
From my keen observation so far, it's quite clear that Daniel Amokachi is a better commentator/analyst than Sunday Oliseh.

Do you agree?

By far.

Odunayaw:
The matter just de one kind at times.

It's like something makes them raise their game or we can't raise our game when they raise theirs

They raise their game, we lower our own.

Odunayaw:
See as DRC tame

Nna mehn Nigeria ought to do better abeg

Is it that we make other teams play better or they are just better than us?

You go see local league goalkeeper begin make saves like prime Buffon.

Joebie:
lol. to talk true na the first time i dey listen to him commentary

E no sabi. Make we talk true.

NasirIbnLaAhad:
In my humble opinion, it's due to a lack of imagination from our coaches. They are ready to die on the hill of Iwobi-Ndidi-Onyeka no matter how inconsistent their results often are.

By the time we get a solid midfield, we will start lacking in other departments.

Joebie:
I am telling you. The guy has been wanting to coach naija die.. And he would have maybe fixed our midfield problems, who knows?

This midfield palaver is a mystery. What exactly is the problem? Ever since Mikel said Onazi retired, we have been struggling with our midfield. Everybody knows we have midfield problem, still the problem persists - coach after coach, still same problem. I don tire.

Chrisantus oo, still, Akinsanmiro, still. I really don't understand.

Joebie:
Oliseh say Senegalese instead of Malians

Professionalism 😜😜

Goke7:
been long I saw a goal from outside the box or the edge sef from Nigeria. That’s what makes that goal special. I want more of such cooking.

It came out of nothing. Real good cooking

Lookman's goal is superb. Nigeria doesn't score those kinds of goals.

Goke7:
We should take it easy on osihmen he could be back to score a hatrick in the next game and whoever compiled any videos will just be put to shame. We didn’t even lose the game so what’s all the noise about the striker for. Stinker in a game we won? Plsssss people should get a job if they don’t have one.

We should compile one about Lookman too cos before yesterday game he wasn’t giving much to the team for a long while. abegi

If Lookman scores in the next match and Osimhen doesn't, then qualification series belongs to Osimhen, tournament, Lookman.

Joebie:
until we drop big league players in some departments.

I don't think it's about big league or small league. The team no jell

EEGA:
He has grown on the ball.

He is now metarmorphosing into a ball playing CB, thanks to Fredrick's partnership.

We saw some of these qualities in Frederick against Gabon.

I weep at the absence of Benjamin. With him and Aina, that defense would have been tight.

I am rarely sceptical about SE but I really ain't banking on this team solely because of that defense.

minfelix:
yes naaa, we really knocking the door of their defense back to back yesterday….That rounding dribble by Akor in the first half was suppose to be a clean goal, that beating of the keeper by Osimhen that was later cleared to corner kick would have been a clean goal, that dribbling by Chukwu in the box 18 with a last touch on the ball going into the net by the defender would have been a clean goal, that Iwobi strike in the box 18 should be a goal, that chest down control and passing to Lookman by Osimhen suppose tear net…we suppose beat those guys with theese neat scoring chances

e pain me say the game ended 2-1 o

Would have, would have. That's how a team loses out.

9JAMac10:
How would y'all rate Sunday Oliseh commentary for the super eagles game against Tanzania.

Go online. It's one long lamentation at how poorly he performed. Someone said he's a fantastic footballer and disastrous commentator. Apt.

Only Calvin Bassey stands as a pillar in that defense.

If defense wins tournaments, well, good luck to Nigeria.

WarHammer2000:
In most football games, there is a commentator AND an analyst. They are NOT the same. Not to engage in ad hominem, but I would have expected that someone with your level of football viewing experience and knowledge would know this basic fact.

Oliseh went there as an analyst, NOT as a commentator. And he did his job SUPERBLY.

The jury is out. You are a lone voice, drowned out by the unanimous consensus that he did a terrible job.

Your attachments does not help you. Drury and Tyler and the rest of them gives us verbal pictures of the game. Not analysis running mainly on he should have, during our time, etc.

WarHammer2000:
Nigerians no like objectiveness lailai. Oliseh provided the BEST commentary I've ever heard from any of our ex players. Complete with good and articulate English grammar and technical terms and insight.

What exactly did he say that was a lie? Was our passing not slow in the beginning? Were the Tanzanians not sitting back and hitting us on the counter? Were they not dangerous from set pieces?

The problem here is that unlike Amokachi and co, Oliseh decided to do his job as an unbiased professional analyst rather than a Super Eagles fan behind the microphone.

A true analyst should go about his business like a Magistrate in court — even if his own brother breaks the law, the Magistrate should not hesitate to send him to jail.

Unfortunately, our people don't want that, we just want a hallelujah praise singer.

The bad news for everyone is, if his antecedents are anything to go by, Oliseh won't change because of the mob's noises. Get prepared to watch the rest of Nigeria's games on mute because it will be professional analysis all the way.

Commentary is not analysis. If you want to do analysis, go to the studio. Nobody wants commentary where you begin to disembowel the technical aspects of the game and blaming players and whining.

At least we have renowned commentators like Drury. Your work is to verbalize what the players are doing so that just by listening to you, people can visualize the game.

See as you write plenty just because you misconceive the main idea of what commentary is.

Goke7:
Now this is the problem, even with some of us on this thread, nobody says you shouldn't criticise, but don't be a cynic in the name of trying to be objective.

Exactly. I immediately saw why he can't manage SE. He strikes me as someone who is highly divisive.

BankyGee:
I swear, Amokachi is 50x better.

I come dey shame for Oliseh at some point. Baba say na "technicarily" 😂

My eye begin turn me.

Goke7:
I wished I did that too, it would have been better listening to brila sports radio commentary. Many folks are just complaining online about his rubbish

I could hardly breath. He was just choking me with his criticisms. Amokachi is way way better and not that Amokachi is good oo

Dem dey drag Oliseh online. He deserves it. He was just too acerbic for a commentator.

We have players but somehow they don't just fit into a seamless system. The team is imbalanced.

Goke7:
True Amokachi is a better commentator, even the good moves the Eagles were making, Oliseh did as if he didn't see it, but praising the Tanzanians instead, he should be careful before angry Nigerians descend on him.

He was awful. People turned down commentary because of Oliseh

ChrisKels:
Eric Chelle is not that coach.

I weak. I'm not encouraged.

Bossoflife25:
Our defense is so bad! Osayi and Sanusi were so poor!
Not one good cross from this two.
Ajayi is too slow! Ndidi poor too.
Awaziem will play that right back better than Osayi.

Our attack needs to take their chances. Too many missed chances today.

Overall, a good start!

Senegal is the only team that looks formidable thus far!

The fact that Osayi played ahead of Awaziem and Ryan means he's likely better than them.

I can't wait for the day Osayi will stop playing for Nigeria. That guy fills me with dread.
