All of you shouting midfield midfield even after choking the middle and using one striker, they still scored. Choking the middle is not how to win a match, being very direct and creating chances to outscore your opponent is how to win a football match. The midfielders won't score you goals.

Even Real Madrid will lose to these guys on this pitch. Just watch how the ball moves on the grass each time a pass is made shocked

He left Adams on the pitch

He better throw that his useless diamond inside ocean. And go back to learn better formation .

Yes the field is bad, we know but the Guineans are better than us today. They just scored the second which has been a long time coming.
The Guineans too have Europe based players with some also dual nationals.
I'm not surprised they're better than us on that ground. Where did they train before this match?

Chelle is playing with his job. We are very impatient, the knives are coming for him soon, just one more loss like this, his job will be on the line.

It happened in South Africa, it is happening here again. Why NFF just watches and allow other countries to propose piss poor pitches to us is weird to me. What image exactly are we trying to prove by being a push over. Even the fr*aking guinea bissau players didnt want to play on this pitch.
Please STOP!

The pitch affects both sets of players. This is a bad pitch but GB don play us a clean 2-0 and honestly should have had 3, if not 4 goals.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Goke7: 6:37pm On Sep 29
We have 4 shots on goal they have 6 so they are clearly better than us today
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by COOL10(m): 6:39pm On Sep 29
We should be able to score from this freekick

Who get the pitch,they’re used to such pitch, same can’t be said of our players.

But what are we being impatient for? Chelle has shown he can get more out of this squad than past managers. Our players also have to shoulder blame as well.

Was it Chelle who caused Bruno or Osasyi to defend poorly on the flanks?

Chelle can hold some blame, yes, but the players have to play on the field.

Mehn, I was silently wary of Franculino, Beto amd Mama Balde. At this rate, I dont see us cancelling this result at home. The last time we hosted them was 2023 in Abuja, and they beat us 1-0. Osimhen played that game.

The coach was JPes.

Most of their players are based in Europe!!!!!!! they are used to good pitches same as ours too.

Oga the two truths coexist. GB trained on this same pitch, don't downplay it's advantage.

Stop with this pitch-blaming nonsense. These are professional footballers who should be able to adapt. Are the GB players not also playing on this pitch?
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Spainever(m): 6:42pm On Sep 29
The coach never get his selection right . Playing Adams and Awoniyi in 2026 ? Is Ajayi best player available to pair Bassey?

Well said, you wait and see, the knives are coming out soon.

Seems AFCON no dey for us .
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by joelsteron: 6:43pm On Sep 29
Benjamin Frederick has business in this match. Ajayi ooooo

Telll Eric Chelle to ditch that diamond. Abeg

I also feel the comment by Guinean player, Encade was just a stunt.

He says they dont like the pitch but that is where they hosted their WCQs games. They are clearly used to that potato farm.

My brother...the two goalscorers for GB were Balde and Franculino. Balde plays in Brest in France and Franculino plays in Trabzonspor in Turkey. Are they not European based players that play on better pitches?

Why is it only our players that it's affecting?

Are we acting like our boys have not played at similar pitches and gotten results before? C'mon, let's stop blaming the pitch.

I'm watching Tolu miss simple passes to Iwobi and we still want to blame the pitch?

Lol Ghanaians losing too...no AFCON for Ghana now
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Goke7: 6:45pm On Sep 29
Chelle’first competitive loss in regulation time! Eye opener

Lamentations go plenty today. Unless SEmanage to somehow turn this. Which is unlikely.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Odunayaw(m): 6:46pm On Sep 29
Peeped at Ghana's game to see them following our lead in loss.

2-3 to Gambia
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Clint02(m): 6:46pm On Sep 29
They've finally succeeded in making Nigeria ordinary. No longer super eagles. Our never give up spirit sef I haven't seen it for the past 6 years.

They played their first game in Tanzania same day we played ours. We had a feel of the pitch so we knew what we were getting into. My honest assessment is that, the team was set up wrongly from the get go and that's on Chelle. I hope he learns from this. It's not the first that we have played and won on equally horrible pitches.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by COOL10(m): 6:46pm On Sep 29
For the second consecutive game, Tolu Arokodare literally passes the ball to an opponent and it almost leads to a goal 🤦🏽‍♂️

Abeg this crop of super eagles no serious abeg
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by joelsteron: 6:47pm On Sep 29
Who's thinks Nwambali will catch that ball if Osayi had not gotten up in time. smiley
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by lloydtruth: 6:48pm On Sep 29
Eric Chelle is not the man...nooooo he's not the man for the job.

No improvement in this team, no reading of the game.

Same tactics that has failed over and over.

I admire his zeal to improve the team, but he can't give what he doesn't have.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by mrwilliams9(m): 6:49pm On Sep 29
Abeg, anyone using pitch as an excuse for our poor performance is not analyzing the match seriously.
