Oshoala has no business in Super Falcons. Period
Our coaches are too spineless to discern this. See Kgathlana of South Africa axed from Bayana Bayana team.

We need a proper right back, Alozie stands no chance against a proper left winger, they will destroy her career.

Nicole Payne.

Unfortunately injury no gree

I was complaining about the Tunisians and their constant falling. The Botswana team are even worse. That their number 3 just dey fall upandan asif she dey ontop bed. Tueh! Btw, how was that even a yellow for Deborah.. The officiating of Nigeria's 2 matches is just below par.

Having watched Plumptre played since the last AFCON, I can say confidently she's top among our players that is not afraid of shooting outside the box.
She has got a striker's instinct.

This is not to take anything from Echiegini,her shoot today was one that reduced the Bostwana keepers confidence.

Plumptre actually started her career as an attacking midfielder and a forward for england

No wonder, she’s got the creativity of a midfielder & the crosses of a solid winger
Modern day Guardiola Left back & how they occupy the midfield as well as offensive 3rd
PSG Mendez & Hakimi
Man City’s Zinchenko
She really helps us offensively
Alozie needs to emulate Ashleigh’s game style
Or is that long hair/braids heavy & affecting her game, personally I think it is
Silly me
I think Alozie was off today
Payne younger sister should’ve been invited

We have a good replacement for Alozie in the team though if the coach wants to look into it. However, we do not seem to have a good replacement for Ashleigh in this current team.

Alozie actually did better than the last game...but she still need to learn from Plumptre like you said.

Ajibade tried but is she deserving of this

If Kundananji catch Alozie eh

Botswana goalie deserves this
Okoronkwo
Thé goal scorer that made the difference Ihezuo
Should be one of them, a win is a win regardless
Congrats to them on qualifying
We face Zambia or Morocco next
Both teams are tough tough lol

isan:
Ajibade should be in the wing where she can hurt Botswana with her pace.... Payne should be attacking midfielder, is this coach stupid? Why can't he see something that's very obvious

Perhaps man thinks cos she wears 7 so she should start from the wing. Im too pissed at the game tonight. It is also hilarious that as talented as this team is, passing is still a big big herculean problem overall. Omo!!

At this rate, we need both Onyenezide and Mercy Idoko in Falcons. They too sabi passing abeg. Especially Idoko. All I'm seeing are same problems on 2022 group stage and that's enough to sink one's morale even though they'll still top group.


I knew this man will give Chioma the "Attervall treatment"
Smh

I hope we use team B for the 3rd game
Hopefully the first 11 heal up properly before we face Morocco or Zambia
I’m hoping it’s Senegal though

Sheybi I talk say we need Oyenezide? She doesn’t have to make rough tackles but when she gets the ball she keeps the ball better and she’s always able to retrieve the second ball. Her shots are also usually very wayward though like most of the falcons except the likes of Echiegini and Plumptre.

When you have Ayinde already, you don’t need a similar player like Abiodun playing at the same time except you are playing Spain and you probably want to get a draw. Abiodun was going forward more often but if the coach wanted someone to do that, why an Abiodun who is not as experienced going forward?

But hey, Oyenezide wasn’t invited so we’ll let that be.

I couldn't get the 1st half

I won't lie, Ucheibe dey fall hand. Na her dey uefa women's comp and she dey do like she learnt nothing to make her stand out here.

If Onyenezide doesn't get the call one day, then make they find a better one. But you see that Idoko, girl is like a Modric. Her vision and passes got even better.

Overall, this man's best ability is frowning on the touchline like Incredible Hulk.

1. The coach should be SACKED.Not intelligent.
2. Why play Toni Payne and ajibade out of position in consecutive matches.
3. I won't use abiodun for the remainder of the tournament. Red card waiting to happen.
4. Stop barking instructions at the players every move of the game. He is putting pressure on them unnecessarily.
5. Going into any major tournament henceforth. We must do away with MISSION STATEMENTS. IT IS PUTTING THE GIRLS UNDER IMMENSE PRESSURE. i.e mission x. This is the reason why a team who didn't lose a game in regulation time at the world cup is unrecognizable from a team playing like a Nigerian Women's Premier League team.
In conclusion, the reason why the girls are all playing poorly is because they are UNDER IMMENSE PRESSURE.

Im glad we have Plumptre in the XI.
Alozie should goan reflect abeg.
That Bostwana gk should have been the POTM though.
Watch as he will still not give rest to key player for this Algeria game. Infact he won't still use Chioma. Lol. Rinsola doesn't need to start that game

Rinsola
Esther
Ihezuo
Should rest
Let
Onumonu
Ijamilusi
Oshoala
Start the game

At this point we stand no chance since we are going to be facing either morroco or Senegal. Zambia will top the group.

CAF has turned into the Grammy's

HeavenlyHolines:
I really don't understand local coach. Same pattern, same formation for all games. No creativity. Imagine we are playing Spain or England. Flexibility is very important. We need one creative midfielder like Echegini

Dem say Waldrum na PHE teacher na.

Person wey you no fit predict him starting XI. Always different for different situations and them go deliver no matter who he use.

Oga rest, one or two bad games y'all will just ridicule a player to nothing, the same Alozie that Mendesdized Lauren James at the World Cup. If she jam winger wey good too nothing like destruction of career go sup.

yinkeys:

Nothing go happen. Una dey gba for this Nairaland I swear.

Players rating and second half statistics

yinkeys:
Ashleigh Plumptre is a modern day world class left back
Very sound in the technical department
Her movement & passes offensively
I really don’t know how she finds the pockets of spaces in the midfield & offensively
Serious threat to the opponents when she drives offensively with the ball.
Waldrum did a good job of making her LB & not CB, she was definitely missed at the Olympics
I think Payne & Ashleigh missed sitters though
Botswana goalie is definitely player of the match
We became alive when Echegini & Okoronkwo came on
Is the captain role affecting Ajibade, thought she’d be on fire in this tournament but that hasn’t happened yet
Ohale is the irreplaceable rock in that defense, does Nigeria have a good sub for her yet ?

Plumptre was off yesterday sha
Lost possession too many times

Abeg e
Alozie has always been poor playing for us
I wonder why people are just seeing it now

For Sunday’s game vs Algeria, this line up won’t be bad

————————-Oluehi———————

—-Alozie——-S.Oladipo—Ohale——-Plumptre—-

——————-Ayinde——Ucheibe————-

————————-Echegini——————-

———Ajibade——-Ihezuo——Babajide——

The likes of Chioma, Okoronkwo and Onumonu can come in in the 2nd half

For the final group game. Coach should change the whole starting 11 and give other players game time.

CAF say that they are investigating Algeria but they won't say why until the investigation is completed.

Fun fact: The Super Falcons have kept cleansheets in their opening 2 games at a WAFCON, for the first time, since the inaugural 1998 edition 🤯

Point number 4 pisses me off too
Doesn’t give them time to think or be creative
That sort of thing could distort players flow in terms of reading the game or taking initiative
I agree with all your points except number 1, it’s too early for that
The tournament starts for us in the knockout stage

How is Abiodun a Red card waiting to happen?
The yellow she got was a wrong call if you watched the same match I watched yesterday.

Whether played out of position or not, was it the coach that stopped her(Ajibade) for making good passes/crosses as well in front of the opponent boss.

I don't think there is nothing wrong in giving instructions to the players so far he is the coach, should he just be looking at them putting in the wrong foot?

All teams of their theme for tournament, it's the performance on the field that is the priority, our girls are not under pressure.
Thanks.
