1 - 1

Iwobi lost the ball carelessly. Lookman not as sharp. Defenders got comfortable and switched off

Eric Chelle needs to be on the touchline coordinating and pointing out lapses like Pep Guardiola does.
You've said it all. Even Ndidi was sluggish, cos why you no go fit control ball when you already intercepted.

Only people holding that defense are Bassey and Frederick, just the flanks, inward, nothing.

The coach needs to make some substitutions.

Seriously
latuntop:
Congo players are more fluidy than ours, their passes are more accurate and they are showing that they are in for business.

Our players appeared rigid, devoid of creativity, dribbling is like a rocket science. They are not good with tap tap as well.

Naija team needs a lot of overhauling I guess.

Victory is certain once the Coach changes Lookman & Chukwueze in the 2nd half.

On a norm this match suppose be easy winning. We are definitely better than them. But the missed chances, wayward plus careless passes, and general unseriousness for a match of this magnitude may come to bite us in the ass.

Can Nigeria please stop this back passes!!!
That shxt is annoying... Instead of pushing ball forward, they're returning ball back to keeper.

Drc are playing compact football...and they are slowly wearing out the SE.

The SE midfield has been poor, iwobi and lookman look lost. We need to control the middle.

If we keep allowing DRC in their compactness, we might lose this game, God forbid.

Nigeria's possession

Passes - poor
Attacking - poor
Shot on target - poor
Defending - poor

Everything poor

WTH! Can't the Super Eagles play games without conceding goalshuh I mean whenever they score it's almost definitely the opponents will score an equalizer. They never play with a sense of urgency or as though anything is at stake-they see it more like a recreational activity. I'm fvvking tired man. Arrant nonsense
Iwobi was held that was why he lost the ball.

The approach of BENJAMIN FREDRIK in defence is top notch.
The guy is doing alot to stop the Congolese at his side.

Zaidu will just run go up and not come bak in time, that his side is the weak link in addition to unserious Nigerians like Iwobi, Chukwueze (the soukd remove his bandana ad tell him to wear his short very well). Lukmon should sit up
Ndidi is an old man now past his prime

To Our Darling Super Eagles 🦅:

AMERICANS ARE WAITING FIR YOU - EAGLES 🦅.

Its Iwobi's fault
Don't always be quick to attach fault to a player when the game isn't even over yet. If the same player scores now, you'll quickly change your stance. They are humans and Congolese are equally as desperate to win as we are.

Nwabali Iwobi Lookman Chukwueze .Ndidi,

all these above 5 players really piss me off today. most especially Lookman and Iwobi ,

these two players should be pull out of the national team

Akor Adams genuinely deserved a start today after that last performance.

Momentum and confidence are a big part of football. And he definitely has those compared to lookman currently.

I know the fault started from Iwobi and perfected by Ndidi but can't this goal keeper make some crucial saveshuh?

Is it only punching corner kicks that's a crucial save to him?

Ademola Lookman and Chukwueze have no business being in this game.

Iwobi plays like he is in his father's sitting room.

Why is Osimhen not being fed the ball regularly?

Where is Ejuke?

Where is the sense of urgency?

Do these guys realize this is a FINAL game?

We this team we cannot win the world cup or even win the intercontinental playoff and even if we qualify for the world cup, we would never make it out of the group stage with this team.

Just imagine Spain, Germany or even France meet this team, we would b beaten blue black.
Seriously, we just the need Morocco, Maybe Egypt, Tunisia , and Comoros representing Africa. The rest will just go mark attendance and at most see round of 16

No. Osimhen is our ace. He may appear to be playing badly but you can never rule him out.

Lookman should not be starting this game at all. Two matches where he was absent, Nigeria scored 8 goals.
The coach would sub him in second half

Thank you.
Fresh legs with fresh ideas.
See what Onyeka did this match.

They keep on recycling poor players match after match. What did Iwobi play last two matches to deserve a start here.
Iwobi money long… and he’s got strong NFF connections. There’s nothing spectacular about his play or involvement in the Super Eagles. By that I mean should he not be invited again for the Super Eagles, his absence never be missed in the team

Bassey again. This guy is a problem. Coach should sub him. He holds ball too much for a back line
Sub our best defender?
