Our biggest problem after the goal keeping is scoring goals. It's not even as our midfielders don't create chances. They create in abundance every game but scoring the goals is now the problem. And given the type of strikers we parade, this should not even be happening. While our lack of goals have made us to see the visible cracks in the team, it's also a source of concern that we can't score. This is not even a coaching problem. All our matches starting from Saudi, Zimbabwe and Lesotho were easily winnable matches if only we converted even a quarter of the chances.

Mujtahida:

Osimhen has poor technical ability. Easy way to tell, he hardly scores curlers. From that position he missed that pass, Mbappe or Iheanacho will curl the ball into the other side of the net

Samueltemi337:
21 goals in 28 appearance


If he easy enter pitch go do am

joelsteron:


Bring pep gardiola to coach nigeria, these guys are wasteful infront of goal. Going forward I don't want to see Sanusi on the pitch again. Chewing gum like a kid.
If Osimhen won't sit up bench him for any available serious striker. Yeye

See I have been following the Super Eagles long enough. I know what I am talking about

Samueltemi337:
He scored 21 goals against Sao Tome?

daveP:
lol. Make i talk say he be baller na. Say na him dey shoulder team. Isokay. 😂

ThunderFireAgba:
Over reliance on a sole striker caused us this game. Why should the wingers be passing to a Striker all the time?
Why didn't Chukwueze shoot when he had the opportunity? And on that still gave a wrong pass to Osimhen!
This shows lack of confidence and this is the driving force Why they loose focus on the final third. Except for players like Lookman and Boniface who can't play SS to any Striker because they too aim for the goal also, you can call it selfish but it builds there confidence and this also makes them lead roles in their respective clubs. That's the reason why it's hard for them to partner Osimhen.
The coach should allow players to take opportunities if they are in the position to do so otherwise the opportunity will capitalize on your target and kill off that player with every opportunity.

Icon4s:

Deduct.the goals scored against Sao Tome and see where that keeps him.

See I have seen several Nigerian strikers come and go.

Oasis007:



When Dudes are empty of who next to blame, then they just blame something. LOL!

Papi85:
Some pple wan minus osimhen’s goals against São Tomé 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mujtahida:

Certainly not but I'm at a loss as to what the problem is. Our brand has depleted.

komekn:


If this is the best of Hassan ,I am absolutely terrified of his WORST.

Odunayaw:
If him no score now na the same "any striker worth his salt should be stat padding such teams"

Osimhen’s antics coming to AFCON training. This match go humble am. Make fans latch am.

ChrisKels:
All you saying that our defense was decent should remember we played against the almighty Equatorial Guinea who paraded a natural right back from the Spanish third division as a striker

Barryseal:
I say this again. We set up Iwobi to play the deep lying midfield role which he clearly struggles to do for long periods. Nwakali, who could be the best African player with this specific skillset is left at home because he earns $5 per month? Someone make it make sense to me. It's not adding up

mrwilliams9:


But Equatorial G. has had the same first XI for the same 3 years. Team chemistry will always trump having a spattering of “top names”.

At the end of the day, they are still professional players. The gap in pure ability from say Prem vs 2nd division in Spain isn’t as big as some people think.

AndSunGorilla:

That even makes it worse for several reasons.

PDPGuy:
BTW, that was Osimhen’s first goal in a major tournament for Nigeria

Mujtahida:

Iwobi might struggle with playing from deep but not in this match. He comfortably threaded splitting passes from deep today. If his passes had been converted, you'd not be so confident to post this today.

Barryseal:
By the way chukwueze was the poorest player I've seen so far in this round of matches. He played like those players you have "unattached" next to their names on Wikipedia.
Horrible performance to put it mildly.

samtol4:
Alhassan Yusuf was not invited to this tournament, but I watched him play above average. I wonder why he was never included in the list? This shows the corrupt system in NFF
The coach had terrible results so far. Never in the history of SuperEagles Zimbabwe , Lesotho and EQ Guinea scoring us first and games ended with a draw. This is African football there is no way one or two home based would have done better.. Players kept wasting chances,

mank1234:


Most of the time I saw him in the middle I stead of his traditional line hugging. Did not complete even one single take on

Bannedlargedx2:
The osimehn guy is low key overrated. Always shouting at his team mates, cannot stay on side and still misses sitters. If he knows what’s good for him, let him not move to England because those pundits will use cutlass chase am comot with such attitude. Even Ronaldo collect
