Una mumu oooo Nigeria 🇳🇬 has already qualified even before this match ....... Na fools go bet their money 💰💰💰 on super eagle to win 🚶🚶🚶🚶

Jacobx007:
We are lucky CAF dashed us three points against Libya

godwon01:
Okoye is a useless keeper. May be he prayed for the death of Nwabali father so that he could be in post. I am very angry that we lost at home to lowly rated Rwanda. Very annoying indeed. I hate when this lowly rated team come to our soul to beat us. Boneface should not near the eagles team again. He is not national team materials at all.

hoeminique:
Men have failed us again

Apcshyte:
Victor Boniface

Christlike01:
Nigeria's qualification was made possible only through the three free points awarded to the Super Eagles due to the ill-treatment meted out to Nigerian players and officials by the Libyan authorities. That incident turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Mr. Eguavon knows nothing about the technicalities of modern football; it was so obvious today. The time to hire a competent technical manager for the Super Eagles is now. It would be disastrous if Eguavon leads the Super Eagles to Morocco 2025.

You guys are not looking at the bigger picture.

Nigeria, deliberately lost so that Libya can be eliminated from the ANC.

Rwanda cannot beat us in real life competitions involving football.

HarunaWest:
Una don start again. We always blame the coaches but no one ever blames NFF or the football organization. Make una dey play. Have the players and coaches been paid for their previous match outing?

OKEY30:
The Super Eagles came out with a plan to win the game, no doubt. However, not all the players were on board with the plan. Dele-Bashiru, for one, didn't perform his role as a player maker, as expected. He didn't bring the intensity Boniface was working and hoping for, probably because he wasn't fit for this game.

Starting from the defence, I think the coach should've stocked with a three man defence. The Super Eagles seem to play more comfortable with that tactics. Ekong was glittery and disappointing, again, just like the game against Benin; he should work on his confidence level. Osho, being new to the team, was quite impressive, but also needs to work on his positioning (he was displaced a number of times). Bruno, is not great at going forward, he should probably stick with remaining at the back to defend. Osayi was impressive in the first half, but suddenly ghosted out few minutes into the second half.

Removing Yusuf eliminated creativity in the midfield and our forwards had to pay for it. Onyedika was everly agile but lacked going forward, and Onyeka contributed nothing following his introduction.

Chukwueze (whom I felt should've started) brought spake to the attack, something that Iheanacho isn't great at. Boniface, was, once again, unfortunate and too desperate to score his first goal. As a result, he missed some really good chances. But his playmaking was overall impressive, better luck to him next time. Simon did all he could with his impressive crosses but the defence was too compact for him to get into the box. Oshimhen and Sadiq were introduced too late in the game and as a result had nothing to offer.

Overall, I'd confess that the team missed the creativity, speed and goal scoring ability of Lookman; he probably would've had a goal or two, considering the fact that the defence wasn't too super.

I left the goalkeeping for last because my analysis may cause some disagreement. Nonetheless, we can all see that Nwabali should remain our first choice and those calling for Okoye would be having a rethink. A goalkeeper's job isn't just to catch the ball. Among other important roles, the goalie should be the leader of his defense; he must learn how to organise them during set pieces— a job Okoye failed at, probably because he's young and is shy of dishing out instructions to his teammates. Nwabali would've done that to prevent the first goal.

I wouldn't totally blame the first goal on Okoye, but he's responsible for the second; poor goalkeeping from him.

Overall, I'll rate their performance 4/10. They should work and improve on this before the world cup qualifiers against this same opponent in March.

Equavoen is a fly who thinks of himself as an elephant. He's been riding on individual brilliance of Ademola lookman, V osimen and few others. Got beaten at home.
The Libyan brouhaha was just a blessing in disguise. If not, we'll be back to calculations to qualify for Afcon.
Shame on the coach!

femi4:
Are you not watching the game? Which good coach will wait that long, yet kept Boniface on the pitch

The Coach is naturally not a VOODOO DOCTOR !
Is the Coach expected to come into the field and play the football.

Are they not international player?

Is it this way they play football in their own club?


What post is this? The coach is useless. He is riding on his connections with the NFF members. Also, some of the boys like Iheanacho give him money.

Should Iheanacho be playing? Should those boys he brought from some division 3 categories be playing like Osho?

Eguavoen is the the coach that made us lose to South Africa for the first time in that Mandela Competition several years ago.

He is the one that prevented us to qualify for the last world cup in the last match against Ghana in Abuja.

He is the one Kalusha Bwalya messed up in the 1994 Afcon finals.

He is the one Marc Overmars messed up in that friendly against Holland.

Simply put, the guy has a good shape for Balthazar's women of Equatorial Guinea, but not good enough to be our coach.

Full stop!

Simply put, the good

He can only instruct but it is left for the player to heed his instructions.

How committed are the so called international player.

That 30days prayers & fasting for Nigeria should be extended to Super Eagles.

CaptainFM1:
Maduka Okoye, Victor Boniface, Moses Simon and Alex Iwobi should not be called to Nigeria squad again.

This Rwanda team play better football than our boys. They are more tactful and more determined.
