He's better than them at least technically but age don come. That Venezia move likely affected Adams form

Please bring back kelechi Iheanacho to the national team for the next set of qualifying matches

They are beginning to pick up as the first half concludes. Nwoko is a baller. Fumen has fine potential. George Igor is strong but needs to release the ball more. Aderemi seems decent but needs to make decisions faster as this is no longer NPFL level.

TheSuperNerd:
For the midfield, #8 Fumen Michael yet to really settle into this game.

#10 Wilfred Igor has been decent.

#4 Aderemi has been hardworking.

#17 Nwoko has been up and about, good on the all, but needs to increase his intensity a notch higher.

Including the Fulham lad too.

Benjy is a CB.

Kilishihunter:
Doc Moving forward will he be ahead of ajayi as bassey's partner or he'll go back to displacing osayi as the RB

You dey find trouble.😂😂

technically the boy is good but yet to insert himself fully in the game

They re all below average

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Expected score line considering the team. Hope it doesnt turn to a white wash from here

We are playing tikitaka in defence instead of playing out the ball faster now we have conceded again in the dying minutes of the first half. This is a recurring issue

Deserved lead sha.

Non existent middle.

Benjamin is the future bar any injury.
Boy is proper calm footballer.

This first half should have been over

Is this referee dumb

Kudos to the defense. Should be 1-4 by now.

We don't have a midfield. It doesn't exist. I hope now we'll stop hyper fixating on attack and defense.

TheSuperNerd:

The whole midfield na zero. But am really impressed with Bewene.

Goalazooo

E fit reach 4 ooo 🤣🤣🤣

Fine. Russia get their 2nd goal but I dont get why the ref did not blow a clear foul on Bewene earlier. He only carded the guy when he repeated a foul on Bewene by pulling his shirt this time.

Abeg, make dem no injure Bewene for us. Na future first team RB be that.

Our defense don dey sleep 🤦... midfield ain't helping matters by trying to control the game...anyways let me still pardon these ones that manage to score a goal far away from home

They wanted them to get their goal naa. Ref dey codedly run things for the home team. Lol

This coach doesn't even move like a coach bark instructions to this players

If you are afraid of senior boys will you still be afraid of fringe players

Russia are having too much of the ball. If we don't steady our control,we go too collect.

Except there's a thing about travelling to Russia, Eric Chelle should not have done too many changes and let largely his first 24 persecute all 3 games.

Asin dey are trying to play tikitaka for defense🤣

Weak midfield.
Start Vince Osuji as DM in the 2nd half

Your touchline theatrics doesn't determine a good coach.

if you coach well you shouldn't even have to shout at the sidelines, because that's just micromanagment.

Beautiful goal from Iheanacho.

I would not say Zero. These are U23 lads. Oldest is #10 Igor who is 21. Nwoko is 20. Fumen is 19. Aderemi is 19. So far, they seem a little overwhelmed in their first international senior game and doing so on Russian grounds. Will cut them some slack and not expect close to perfection.

I am after show of potential and effort from them today and I see some bright spots.

Chelle needs to spread his net further. These ones based on eye test so far no be am.

In this kind of matches, when a team is better than you and holds more possession than you in a match, the next thing is to play on the counter, that is why you still need very fast players on the wings. Your super eagles would not always successfully hold possession in all the matches they would play.
At the same time when playing with 2 strikers, please use a genuine striker not Simon. Today is lookman tomorrow is Simon. This is how the french team play that they got right. Different opposition, different strategy. We need speed for a counter-attacking setup.
