Lookman silly yellow card will hunt us .. Nwabili also collected against Rwanda . Two silly cards

I'm happy Lookman won't play the next match. He's been piss poor.

I'm tired of Nwabali. Okoye should be our number one abeg

How can we have a team with the hottest strikers in Africa yet we can't score goals.

Make Chelle go siddon jare. His tactics are poor!

My head wants to explode. Ohh some will say it's just a win we need, some say it's h2h, some say it's Eritrea, some say we need to win 3-0, some say 2-0. Wetin, wetin ooo.

Just a painful welter of confusion.

Diavolo:
After every match,we keep blaming different players. If it's not Iwobi it's Ekong or someone else. The tactics is terrible. This was very evident in the last 10 mins in which even when it was obvious ndidi and Iwobi were tired,he left them and brought in defenders and we started falling back to pack the bus. Lesotho had two glorious chances. Instead of fortifying the midfield. He go dey do rubbish. That's the effect of tactics. If this man is not putting players out of position he's making wrong substitutions. Same thing against Zimbabwe shore up the midfield he brought in Boniface,then we conceded last minute. Same thing should have happened today but somehow we escaped. I hope he or someone close to him sees this pattern and he learns from it. The midfield is the engine of the team,you can't outstrikers or out defenders a terrible midfield

It's common sense that you defend from the middle rather than bring in more defenders and attract more attacks.

As I said sometime ago, people have selective amnesia when it comes to Rorh. NGR vs Sierra leone.. 4-4 at home O! The coach that made losing to minnows a norm in Nigeria is Gernot Rohr. Till now we never recover. Our own na to qualify and not ask how we dey play. Na so so 1 game to spare we go dey hear

In fact it's under Rohr that we were defanged by minnows.

Psittacus:
Is as if nobody is seeing Rwanda has nothing to play for anymore. Why would they go and die for Nigeria in South Africa, when we actually crucified ourself.

Did Zimbabwe have anything to play for today? Even with a man down, they held SA to a draw.

hatakekakashi:
Ekong shouldn't be getting callups again after next match. Balogun was not this bad before we moved h8m on.

What did Ekong do wrong in this match? We just like to pile on soft targets. Was he responsible for the goal that was scored?

jihday:
I’m tired of Rohr worshippers still crying about his sack

It's very annoying walahi

toluxe0075:
That Zimbabwe draw is gradually coming back to bite us.

After the whole mistakes in our first four matches, that Zimbabwe game was the most important match. We lost it. If we had won, we'd be on 16 abi 17 points today

Joebie:
can you imagine.. na to pack players for defence Chelle sabi.. very clueless coach

The man no sabi. Just guess work

This is very sad

But there was a foul on Frederick

Whenever ball go Nwabali side, I go begin fear.

I no say piss dey worry am abi no be so Goke7?

Nigeria is winning Lesotho one zero via penalty and I'm checking time praying for the game to end. Chai

TheSuperNerd:
Ndidi is not well. Shot he should have taken, he instead went to ground. He thinks the refs will be generous granting every penalty call?? Nonsense!

I say dem don swear for am. Ndidi that missed an open net against Zimbabwe.

Dem don swear for Ndidi. He can never score

Game wey you know say VAR no dey you want to dribble instead of shooting at sight

Abeg I'm not watching second half. If them win, good luck to them.

ChrisKels:
The invitational tourney in England provided us with an avenue to improvise and look for solutions to our creativity problem, you tried out Chukwueze and it was a success, then suddenly you relegated him to the bench for some clueless Simon that can neither complete a take-on nor make a single decent cross to save his life? Aswear this Chelle na confirm tozo.

That's what these foolish coaches always do. They'd experiment something and it will work in a friendly but you will never see them try it out on a proper match day.

Rohr boldly used 3-5-2 to wreck Argentina in that famous friendly where we came from 2-0 and eventually worn prior to the 2018 World Cup. When the tournament proper came, the man stuck to his limp method and we were beaten by Croatia and Argentina.

It's not like Lesotho are playing a low block oo. They are out there playing giving us space yet we haven't had even a sniff at their goal.

Goke7:
Our players need to be dynamic if crosses are not working then try something else haba

I don't understand modern football oo or is this how the game has always been played but I'm just noticing it now? What's all this side to side passes?

The commentator said that some Lesotho players play for their defense academy. As in dem be raw amateurs

Lesotho playing like Holland against Nigeria.

Link please

Diavolo:
So he still stuck to this Iwobi,Simon and lookman arrangement that has never worked. Fingers crossed. Hopefully magic happens

I say the man is confused oo. He's just winging it.

solonnachi:
I want to advise Nigerians not to put mind in today's game to avoid HBP. Just enjoy the game.

There's no enjoying this kind of game. It's suffer all through until the end

kennysville:
Eeeehnnn! Tournament players dey? If you poor ... you poor. No be to dey sugar coat things. Lookman get selfishness problem. While Simon is a one trick pony. And has been promptly found out. Why do you think all our opponents mark him out? They already know he will try take one. Unfortunately our coaches too couldn't think of another way to break opponent
down except to the left

He has been found out.

Goke7:
It's better to laugh no matter the outcome! That's the only way to soothe any pain

It's a mixed feeling. I want to be be hopeful but these players, it's when you bank on them that they'd disappoint you.

Are we going to cry or laugh when today ends? The overwhelming sentiment is one of hope and uncertainty.
