..absolutely...they kinda of where thrown aback, if you noticed after the goal by Kanu, they started doubling up on her, imagine if Oshoala was on the other side...then you know you are in trouble...

Spot on, Asisat would have given them a lot of heat up there, they would be looking for how to contend Kanu on the Left and Oshoala in the middle or right…

One of our major setbacks was that we didn’t have much player to trouble them from the flank like when Kanu came in, They had to double up on Kanu as she was causing them trouble already.

It's also obvious Randy doesn't know how to deploy Monday Gift. You could hardly feel her effect in both matches.

We really need an AM that can deliver those vertical and diagonal ball for our attackers upfront..

Again US are fucking good but beatable, who noticed they exploited all the space left behind by the Falcons, they were aware of every Space in the field..


Lindsey Horan hear am for Ucheibe hand sha, Power to Power Ucheibe was too strong for her and she’s one of US strongest player. Between Julie Erzt and Horan I can’t really tell who’s strongest thuo.!

How about Echegini Performance all round

....to be honest, when i was watching yesterday, somethings came to mind, that is, we are just a few steps away from being world class. Majorly the problem is that we are not tactical enough, the talent,speed,strength,athleticism is there, however, this can be solved by having a tactical coach and also,NFF needs to invest in technology, where player have their reports and tapes at the end of every training session, which they can watch while they rest and eat and prepare for the next day. They see their flaws, they work on it the following day, this should not be limited to just matches, but also training session. You will be surprised what beast this can unleash.

....is it a surprise to you, the man does not know how to deploy anybody except the goal keeper.......the man can not read a match to save his live, the match must be over, then he will go home and who knows, maybe he has some friends that help him with analysis, before he makes correction, hence you notice his correction is usually in the next game. The problem in this is that every match caries its own level of unpredictability, when things start to go south, is he good enough to see it immediately and stop it, the answer is a big No

Deltamani:
When you’re talking about Midfield remember their various pressing and defensive duties sha!

Nnadozie

Alozie. Ohale Plumptre. Imuran

Ayinde. Ucheibe
Lopez. Payne

Kanu. Ajibade

solonnachi:
Nnadozie

Alozie. Ohale Plumptre. Imuran

Ayinde. Ucheibe
Lopez. Payne

Kanu. Ajibade

We need to get Alozie and Payne completely of defense. They are better suited for other roles. Alozie was a disaster defensively in the first game. She plays better offensively.

Did any of you notice how the Commentators keep mentioning Asisat Oshoala name and her absence, injury and all that... They also talked about our Midfield especially the number of Players missing... At least they're aware that out Squad wasn't complete..

Playing Spain should be at the top burner in my opinion, logistically it's probably the easiest friendly game we can ask for.

We have 6 players of the current Super Falcons plying their trade in Spain including Asisat Oshoala, Rasheedat Ajibade, Monday Gift, Osinachi Ohale, Rita Chikwelu and Toni Payne.

We also have potentially 2 players who could join the team playing in Spain; Vicky and Rinsola Babajide.

Observing our next Fifa window in Spain should be a no brainer in my opinion. It's already home to a lot of our players and we won't have visa issues.

NFF, make this happen.

Those lady were wild I really liked their style of commentary, it was like friends gisting during a game. They even called out the NFF for owing the ladies. They also were really selling our American coaches for the great work they have done

Tosin Demehin was the best Falconet on the pitch for me. So sad that she scored that own goal but if she can play like this right after the world cup heartbreak she will definitely be fine.

Echegini was another surprise. Great first touches, quick movement of the ball and nice workrate.

I don't understand why Osinachi Ohale was not the captain. Our coach did what Americans call "getting cute". He really had a simple decision to make.

Deltamani:
Tony Payne, Tony Payne…. Her Confidence on the ball is something i so much like, We just need our players to work more on their positioning because I noticed when she gets the ball in midfield or wing she barely sees who to pass to…

Glory Ogbonna do one good today… Kudos to her, We nor go hear word for FB in the Morning..

At least I lived to see u talk am unlike her other good moments that people magically forget, this one ended in a goal. So that's 2 new position in 2 matches, I guess she is not so useless after all.

I don't think it's primarily Randy though. I think Ohale will rather just be a team player and not add the pressure of being captain to it.

I remember during Okobi's interview, she mentioned that during her one on one session with Randy, she was asked to be captain of the team as her teammates had suggested her after Onome got injured. She said she declined cause according to her, Rita and Ohale were senior members of the team and should be considered first. Randy then told her that Ohale and Rita passed and suggested Okobi. If I'll guess, I think the same thing happened here.

Surprised very little was mentioned of Nnadozie. She was great yesterday and was one of our best player on the pitch.

Oh ok that makes sense. They need to get over the captaincy issue. One day nobody will agree to wear that band

The best player on the pitch was #8 for the Falcons. This young lady plays intelligent and total football. She does everything correctly. She possesses the field generalship and the only Falcon player who can intercept passes from the Americans. She is really good at her young age.

She was absolutely top class but this is what we have come to expect from her. Her being so young is very scary. Can u imagine her getting even 5% better? That might be world class level.

You aren't far from the truth... The talent is there obviously, it needs to be well managed..that's the issue... Randy Waldrum after two years in charge has shown no sign whatsoever that he is the right man for the job ..
Lets hope somebody who is really passionate about the development of the game and not just their financial gain that will take over the NFF leadership come September 30

lovewins:
The Falcons didn't do badly quite frankly. We lost scandalously in the first game largely because of the coach's decision. If we have the right players available, we will compete favourably with Brazil and wouldn't be blown away like South Africa was.

Yeah. I'm not saying the Falcons did badly. In fact they were good against the no. 1 in the world, I know Brazil can't humiliate us like they did South Africa, just saying...

....he is not the man for the job, plain and simple, he cant lead us to the promise land, he has shown the highest he can ever reach, and that is too low a level for the falcons, so definitely not the man for the job.

Haaa…. To me I won’t bother mentioning Chiamaka Nnadozie as She’s the best Goalkeeper in Africa and rated top10 in the World… We all know she’s good and did well yesterday, If she can improves more than this then we would be more proud of her.

For the 45minutes she had, I’m very much satisfied but she need to do more but as a College Player i would give her 6.5/10 playing like this at that top level.

Her touches looks like that of a Pro, She’s also very Skilful. I saw on two to three occasions where she easily get past her Marker. One she worked her way to the right delivering as excellent ball into the Box. Again I also noticed she’s good a Shooting at sight from outside the Box which is what some of our players lack, Her Shoot are always on target, same with the few minutes she had against Canada.

By the time she starts Playing Pro, She would get better, For now i can boldly pick her as one of Okobi possible replacement.

Echegini passes again are that of a Pro, with the way she passed the ball to Alozie on the right side.

Randy can’t improve the team more than this.. He need to go, If the NFF can’t get us a Coach of Sari, Tony and Pia Caliber they should settle for the likes of Florence Omagbemi, Mercy Akide Udoh and Co.

Of course, I believe we all share that sentiment. But you know, sometimes we get to used to someone being good that we become less appreciative of them. It's something we do subconsciously and may make a player feel unappreciated. I recall Okobi made mention of this not long ago.

Her yesterday game was far better than the first one, and this is the only game have seen her perform above average. Anyway her versatility at the back is okay for now but she’s not yet the kind of Player we want her to be

Nnadozie Plays for one of the biggest Club in France behind Lyon and PSG, She’s performing at the level expected of her but still have enough time to grow. But right now we need Younger goalies of U23 at least that can back up for her when the Veteran retires

i forget to inform you guys that Mercy Akide Udoh was about to be named Superfalcons Coach back in 2017 until Randy Waldrum surface from nowhere... This was something we were all aware of..

Sorry, but what again did Gift do when she was on the pitch, outside of being anonymous?
Good players always carve a niche for themselves, regardless of where they play.
This young lady is grossly overrated, IMO.
