Sincerely he needs to grow some balls and drop him or else ,it won’t be funny …d last 5matches for Simon in gwg has been so underwhelming,very poor

Too poor and yet match after match Simon features.

QueenJazz:
Exactly. But people on this thread may not be ready to have this conversation.

It's obvious that he's favoring Simon. Look at how our goal came from a cross by Dele Bashiru. All game Simon tried beating his marker but he couldn't.

I'm old school. The right wingers of the past were not dribblers but excellent ball crossers. Simon is not a good dribbler. Even me, I can mark that guy.

Odunayaw:
You forget his wing was moribund for much of first half because the boys kept playing on the left.

For me, I'm not in a hurry to discard Ndidi. The problem is our coaches doing the same thing and expecting different results. I do not understand why Onyedika doesn't start. Thesupernerd has written too much on the subject of midfield combinations.

Truly, our MF should not be as disappointing as it is

We have been on this midfield issue for more than five years now. Is it that difficult a problem to fix?

TheSuperNerd:
Eric Chelle and the Super Eagles will be African Champs by January 18th, 2026 if the squad keeps morphing in the right direction.

Bassey and Benjamin need more games together.

Tolu needs a few more games to permanently cement himself as our 2nd striker after Obvious First Choice Osimhen.

Chelle has to a find a way to fit in Christantus Uche into the Starting XI and utilise Iwobi closer to the final third and not further away from it as a deeplying orchestrator.

Chelle should find the best midfield synergy from strongest to bench options.

Chelle has to also realise when to and when not to use Simon Moses. He is not meant for every opponent. There are days a Chukwueze will suffice rather than a Simon.

Moses Simon will be his undoing. Let him continue to show Simon favoritism.

Goke7:
And we will continue to be subdued if time is not taken in fact the next time we are bullied again by any other country I go just switch off cos it’s foolish trying to win clean when your opponents is not clean or trying to be clean in any way.

Imagine Nigeria playing 7 games in Nigeria during a wcq the entire continent will finally crown us as the global headquarters of corruption, we can’t do it but others can, rubbish.

I swear. That gave SA an unfair advantage.

villagereporter:
.

Gusua d groundnut seller!

It's Gusau.

Goke7:
In fact na we be the holiest pope for African football see how these African countries Dey use our head 😂 wey country Dey play away game for their own backyard

We like to win clean. Even the Bassey goal no sweet us. We feel it's beneath us to use ojoro to win.

Lookman was really underwhelming throughout this qualifiers

charlesemeka85:
I swear bros 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You go see person wey never watch naija match since Afcon 2019 say na because coach no play Mikel, that's why we lose.

lbrichman2:
Our corruption no dey reach that side and it's very curious

I'm amazed. The way we act with integrity in football, amazes me.

Goke7:
I think SA too just Dey learn these things 😂 see as they waste time today Dey roll for ground. It’s time to develop our own antics too na only Nwabali get format for our team the rest of our players too clean 😂

We have lost Afcon finals cos we no sabi format. The first thing we need to do is to sort out our home venue. Uyo does not look like a slaughter slab for African teams. We need to either get back to Lagos or make Abuja a dreaded den. That uyo too clean for my liking e no Dey frighten our opponents at all!

Lagos obviously. Forget Abuja. It's a dead zone

In Africa, it's only naija no dey employ wuru wuru for football. And it's ironic because we are an unbelievably corrupt nation yet whenever we play football we win or lose neat neat.

Naija would not have ever taken South Africa to play on that kind of pitch if we were in their position.

Nothing pain pass when team lose then make people wey no dey watch football begin drop their wack opinions.

There is this gayish guy on Supersport gloating. I no blame am. Na Finidi give you mouth

lbrichman2:
Even Ekong himself knows his time is up
And I commend Chelle's bravery to take him off

Be like na curse. That's how Yobo scored an own goal in 2014 WC match against France

Goke7:
It’s sad we threw this away, that Zimbabwe match was a killer, two precious points flew out in mins. The players are to be blamed those who keep blaming the coach I don’t understand

The moment we drew that match against Zimbabwe, I started crying. It was a death blow. That's why I kept saying that that draw was a loss.

Openair:
Then how come every coach must put Simon ? I no understand this thing.. it's like the coaches get a list from nff before tournaments

He's washed out. He's the easiest player to mark.

Odunayaw:
Considering the point he is joining the fray? He survived.

It is from AFCON we'd judge him by his own campaign.

I'm just looking at his decision making. Why play Ekong against a speedy South Africa? Why play Aina on the left against Zimbabwe? Why play Dessers in the first half given his no show performance against Rwanda.

Openair:
It seems as though there're a list of players given to Nigerian coaches that must play...I don't understand how every coach in recent years keep coming up with same thing that doesn't work

Simon is a no no.

soetanoreoluwa:
We fought like a warrior.

Dem try. The damage had already been done

Tactically Chelle is not sure of himself. He's just winging it.

No matter how we look at it, Peseiro and Finidi really finished us.

Everybody sope, sope

Benjamin too much

Why did Chelle not play Tolu from the beginning?

If we can't win, let's not lose

BankyGee:
Where? How?

Cool temper 👌👌

mostob:
Guess you don't know who you quoted. That's Honourable Mujtahida... I no wan tell you his title for here.. 🤣🤣

Calma bro. 😂😂

Fifa just said that they will cancel our first goal.

If na Moses Simon get that Fisayo ball, him for cut back after having the stretch to make the run.

Odunayaw:
Bassey attacked the ball like a super eagle should! With venom!

I'm totally embarrassed with our forwards

Dessers na pigeon. No be eagle. Makes me sad to say this but he's not plugged in. He's not just there.

foxman04:
Shey na my eyes ni .. e bi like na hand bassey use score o

E touched him hand
