TheGoodJoe:


Nice report.

Anayo looks cool and promising but he looks heavy. Seems to battle with weight while making his runs. My advice for him is for him to change his diet and shed a little weight.

Like you pointed out, he needs to understand he does not need to overdo things to make an impression.

Watch for space and keep possession is a very important lesson he should learn.

BascoVanVeli:
Hot off the press Anayo's performance against Benin. Wasn't great but for the little amount of time he had he was very lively

DrKlever:
ofcourse all the players are valuable to the team but I'm sure you understand the context he meant it. "Valuable" here, he meant indispensable in his position. Hope you gerrit now? If you don't gerrit then forget about it

jihday:
But na training coach go use judge player

AndSunGorilla:


Absolutely he was lively, final balls not the best but I see potentialities mean he had just about 10minutes, he didn't have time to grow into the game. Rohr definitely saw something in him to trust him enough to throw him in. I would really love Rohr to give home more time in the dead rubber Lesotho game. By the way, Ndidi should be the captain of the team, see him calming Anayo down when he came in, Ndidi is a born leader.

forgiveness:


How old is Omerue and Kayode? Because those are the players still remaining from that set.

I didn't go pro, and I won lotta laurels in my endeavor, and also as a soccer player during school days, I held sway for my school teams, from primary to tertiary. But, this is not about me, it is about Ajagun and his mates

forgiveness:


Ezeoku! You were a local champion. That’s were it ends but you want to mock someone who even did better than you locally and internationally.

temi1290:

temi1290:

Super Eagles Player Ratings
The slim win over Benin Republic ensures that the Super Eagles will be top of the Group L table in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers after it is concluded next week.

Gernot Rohr's team secured all three points thanks to Paul Onuachu's headed goal in the third minute of stoppage time.

Izuchukwu Okosi rates the performance of the players on Saturday.

The Starters

Goalkeeper

Maduka Okoye : The Sparta Rotterdam keeper was not troubled in the first half but had some nervous moments in the second half of the game. 6/10.

Defenders

Ola Aina : The Fulham right back grew better in the game as it progressed. The highlight of his first half was a cross field pass to Henry Onyekuru which almost led to a goal scoring chance. 7.5/10

Zaidu Sanusi : The Porto left back was one of the bright spots in the Super Eagles side with lost of his crosses almost leading to something productive. He did give away some and his defending was assured. 7/10.

Leon Balogun : The center back was put under immense pressure in the first half but he improved in the second half. Held the ball well and put in the body when required. 8/10.

William Troost-Ekong : The captain of the day was good at the back and was also upfront a few times in search of a goal albeit the Eagles had numerous chances from corner kicks but none were utilized. 7/10.

Midfielders and Attackers

Wilfred Ndidi : He broke up plays a few times but he did give away the ball a few times as well. 6/10.

Joe Aribo : His ball retention was good while he was able to find the forward players but his efforts to fall back and help the defence was not so spectacular as his defensive shift was not the best. 6/10.

Kelechi Iheanacho : The Leicester striker rattled the palms of the Benin keeper in the 8th minute with a powerful shot but he was anonymous after that brilliant effort for lost of the game. Subbed off in the second half of the game. 6/10.

Henry Onyekuru : He was the brightest player for the Nigerian side especially in the first half as his link up play was impressive. He was also denied from a diving header as well. 7/10.

Samuel Chukwueze : Operating from the right wing where he cuts infield on his left foot, Chukwueze had a good game but definitely not his best in the Eagles jersey. He had a 27th minute corner kick which was almost mishandled by the Benin keeper Allagbe. 7/10.

Victor Osimhen : The Napoli man was a constant threat to the hosts. Almost had his close effort becoming the winner which was cleared. However Onuachu scored with a header from the rebound. 7/10.


The Substitutes

Paul Onuachu : A great impact coming off the bench to score the needed goal from close range with a header. 8/10.

Anayo Iwuala : The Enyimba wide man was brought on in place of Henry Onyekuru and he showed some flashes of brilliance but his desire to impress the coaches saw him wasting some chances that his teammates could have converted. 6/10.

Chidozie Awaziem : Brought in place of Ola Aina to shore up the back line. Didn't do much though. 5/10.

IDENNAA:


You said sideways passes but Iwobi could never take on a player one-on-one, he would still play sideways. Iwobi is not good at crossing neither could he shoot...have you forgotten so soon ?

I said he will start at Fulham easily but one guy here say na lie

TheGoodJoe:


Not watched a replay or highlights. I will actually wait for the next game and judge from there.

andrewbaba44:


Aina had an okay game by this ratings but some people where saying nonsense

Smh

1realBobby:
that's his personal ratings ooo.... Aina did nothing more than a 6/10 in that match.

temi1290:


I doubt Ferland Mendy is doing better than him on current form.

lloydtruth:

Aina ahead of Sanusi and Ndidi?
