The NFF really needs to get their priorities right. Camping in France was a bad idea in the first place.. Some people may disagree with me,but come one,how can we prepare for a game in a country with different weather and environment from the one the real game will take place?
Also an alternative venue should be found for the eagles game. I love the Uyo stadium its beautiful and the fans are amazing but Nigeria just don't seem to win games convincingly there. Maybe its time to return to Abuja

TheGoodJoe:


That sub was wrong. I even commented about it. We were not creating clear cut chances. Why take off the striker for another striker. It is not magic. Kayode was going to get starved upfront and it happened exactly.

Etebo off was the right call. Go into a two strikers set up with Kayode upfront and Iheanacho connecting with the middle.

Even our only clear cut chance came from Iheanacho to Etebo.

Icon4s:


I have always said this to TheGoodJoe. He is a good analyst but he is often sentimental. All this blaming of Akpeyi is just to make a case for Alampasu.

Oasis007:




Are you satisfied with his Pair Mate? Did he offer anything better Onazi? What about Etebo, did he play your your Satisfaction as a No. 10?

TheGoodJoe:


Explain the spilling and the ball was close to the keeper. Free runs even happen when Franco Baresi is defending. The ball was close to Akpeyi. Sentiments aside he was to save that.

Oasis007:




Our Dude is gradually seeing the Light. Iheanacho is better off as a SS.

QED!

Mickael2:
all the teams I follow play a similar formation. go and check all the matches were Busquets was poor, the rest if the Barack midfield looked like trash. before Zidane integrated Casemiro, Modric and Kroos looked like primary school players. the DMF sets the tone for your other midfielders, that is basic football, when the dmf isn't doing things right the whole midfield collapses

TheGoodJoe:


This your better off weaks me. If we are playing a 4-5-1 formation, Iheanacho is the best option upfront. If we are playing 4-4-2 option, Iheanacho is my best bet to play support striker.

You come up with a game plan and then think of the best personnel in each role.

Awaziem went for the same ball with Akpeyi who was distracted as such which is largely responsible for the spilling.

However, where I would blame Akpeyi is his lack of communication with the on rushing Awaziem.

You have not told me who left Rantie unmarked with Plenty of space and time to nod that ball and say you are not being sentimental?

Oasis007:




Does Today still look like Sunday to you?! LOL!

What did he do wrong in the Match? He connected well with the Defence and made some good Tackles and Interceptions.

Pls! We shouldn't heap all the Blames on him, I barely saw his Faults in the Goals we conceded.

Mickael2:


is it that Nacho cannot just sit on the bench?

Icon4s:


Sentiments! They love some players and dislike some others.

If Omeruo was in that defense he would have taken all the ballets for the two goals.

Even Shehu that had a very good game dem say otherwise.

Simon was terrible today. I had never seen him this
wasteful and unporposefull. Yet they will defend him bc they like him.

Ndidi IMO even share the blame more than the CB pairing. He was more focused on try to score than to perform his defense shielding. I know they will still hail him bc he is one of their favourites.

sontoly:


because the coach trust him that's all, and who else do u think can play that position?.
any one that plays that position will certainly not score today.

Oasis007:




And what formation did we play Today?! Kayode is better as a lone Striker than Iheanacho, he gets the Pace and the techniques to cope with it than Iheanacho - Fact!

TheGoodJoe:


Akpeyi held the ball and spilled it. He was amateurish there. Simple. As I said, he lacks command of his eighteen. I said it before. Take a way the so called experience factor and no one will want him in our goal. This is the price we pay for allowing the weaker keeper in goal because he started keeping before another. Akpeyi is a wrong choice. Rohr should sort it out.

I am tired of Alloy Agu's games.

South Africans will be celebrating today like it is Christmas.

TheGoodJoe:


Blatant wrong.

He was also stranded upfront but we had more pressure with Iheanacho. From the attacker's perspective, we were more threatening with Iheanacho upfront than with Kayode. With Kayode we needed to contribute more from the midfield which left the back even under more pressure. Although the dynamics of the game led to that.

But wholly we had more room to cause damage with Iheanacho than Kayode. Osimhen even looked deadlier than Kayode.

Icon4s:


WHO MISS TIMED HIS HEADER BEFORE RANTIE FOUND SPACE TO SCORE.

Oasis007:




Sire!

You just nailed it!

If you have never watched Eagles before, the Hypes here would make you think Drilling is all a Player needs to win Ballon DO'R.

Mickael2:


first of all he didn't connect well with the defence. also a dmf should be looking to connect the defence with the amf not connecting himself to the defence as that makes no sense, but do you know how Onazi tried to connect defence and attack? by playing aimless, boring long passes over and over and over again back to back, he didn't not perform the primary duty of a dmf connecting the defence to the next line of attack

Oasis007:




I'm done with the Argument. No wonder Osimhen bagged a Brace to rescue us from the shameful Defeat. You win and I surrender!

LOL!

Icon4s:


They would not give a fair criticism of some players bc they love them. Instead they will be shifting blames to the players they want out of the team.

soetanoreoluwa:
I felt bad... Cos i went extra mile to see the match... Very painful.. Maybe we re not meant for AFCON again... It looks so impossible to qualify for Cameroon 2019 looking at the antecedent of losing at home.. Any qualifier we lost at home especially at the beginning... It is always hard to qualify... 2015 ,2012 and 2017.. Comes to my mind... Maybe we re meant for only World Cup...

Bitter experience.. I dunno why john ogu did not made the bench... And why taking iwobi to wing? We played with short 3... Iwobi, nacho and Akpeyi...

Definitely we really miss Mikel... People can now know why we need him more...

What pain me more was that we camped for 12days and we cant score just one goal... I am very sad!

Just a week camp for SA... They humbled us in front of our fans...

On Enyeama ... Is ready to come back but someone in NFF... Doesn't want him... It baffles me what pinnick is thinking and doing.. Cos both of them we re very close and good friend... Is someone bigger than pinnick in NFF? We need to leave politics out of football..

It's only miracle that can make us qualify for AFCOn ... Have given up on them...
We should prepared hard for World Cup qualifier...
Safarigirl said it... This is African football not innit football... We need more physicality in players...

I'm sad mehn....

TheGoodJoe:


I guess you do not get what happens before keepers make a save. No defender can be hundred percent. Most headers come with a missed header. It is the game.

When the ball dropped, the ball came close to Akpeyi. If it went far from him, we can start talking someone missed header or someone should have marked this person. However, when the header was close to the keeper, we expect a routine save.

Ask Ikeme and Enyeama.

TheGoodJoe:


It is Kayode that scored ten goals. Osimhen played better and with time I see him leading the line and us settling for a two striker formation with Iheanacho.

I hope Onyekuru works on his tracking back and defending. If he gets this right, then Iwobi will be under pressure.
