I don't know how many threatening Shots Osimhen had on target to make him deadlier than Kayode!

Dudes won't stop amusing you on this Thread!

Guys, Guinea is currently beating CIV at home. And game is in injury time right now.

CIV 2 Guinea 3.

So we're not the only people having a bad day.

O pari

cromz:
The major things I learnt this game are
Nigeria has no NO9 ihenancho is naturally a supporting striker
We need to recall Vincent enyeama our goal keeping department is rubbish
We need an attacking midfielder a natural one
No playing chemistry between these players
Rohr got the tactics wrong by playing air balls over a very physical team like south Africa.

eterisan:
He will not answer. You should know him better. The goal was the turning point in the match. As a defender you do not let ur man stay more than an arms length away from you in the eighteen especially when defending crosses. Later in in the game he @Awaziem, got jittery began to dive in lost his positional sense and almost gave away a penalty. TheGoodJoe can never see this. To him Awaziem is the next Ramos nd can do no wrong. The kid had a nightmarish debut on the big stage #fact..The attackers and mids can be excused if they have a bad day but a defender always have to be on point. One mistake nd you cost your team.

We have plenty natural attacking midfielders but some people no wan make dem play for Nigeria.


Ajagun dey dere, Aluko dey dere, Onomah dey dere and Raheem Lawal dey dere. Though Iwobi also dey dere.

I guess its a weekend for the away teams.

Yesterday here we were laughing at Sudan for losing at home 1-3 to Madagascar and today it is our turn.

TheGoodJoe:


I do not know how to explain same basic principles over and over again. With Echiejile leaving so much gap behind him and with Onazi and Ndidi pushing forward. How the hell do you expect the central defender to get his positioning right. Even Sergio Ramos will not have a coordinated play.

I have pointed out that our problem came from the midfield and wing backs creating gaps. Not the central defence. Haba.

Icon4s:


Have you seen me blaming the attackers this evening?

Onazi, Ndidi, and Awaziem cost us this game.

Icon4s:


All these just to make a case for Awaziem. If na Omeruo now I am sure the comment would not be the same.

Do not feel too sad, football is a dynamic process. We have games to give it a go. There is a lot to learn in losses and we will come back stronger. There are games we will win convincingly and we will celebrate.

TheGoodJoe:


If you know the positioning of Ndidi and Onazi caused problem, why blame Awaziem? Ekong also had a nightmare. However, the central pair were not the culprit but the defence. This problem goes to Keshi's days. He fixed it with Hope Akpan but the young man injured before the nightmare in Uyo.

We need a disciplined four. That was what made Mikel priceless at Chelsea. With a disciplined four, the defence can have a good game.

Uche Okechukwu and Taribo will lose positioning of Oliseh played in an indiscipline manner.

I was sad cos... Being long I hope on SE since we played 2 2 draw with Tunisia... On AFCON qualifier..


Thought we can give SA a good fight them... Have atleast a draw to boost our confidence... Those boys are down... First lost since rohr took over...

TheGoodJoe:


Very untrue because I have pointed out that Coach Big Boss Keshi opting to play Onazi as the standing four exposed Omeruo to Rantie. I have always called for us shielding the defence.

In the last game against Zambia, I was one of the few who pointed that apart from the mistake, Omeruo had a good game.

Icon4s:


Remove Onomah from that your list he doesn't belong there.

otokx:
Giving the current situation it is better we don't qualify for both AFCON and World cup, male and female.

Icon4s:


'He fixed it with Hope Akpan'. Hope Akpan.

Na so una dey talk. Match day now he will be lost.

forgiveness:

Why?

sontoly:
whether na omeruo or awaziem dey there, there wldnt be much difference, the whole blame shld come from coach that's all.
he shld explain why he chose this starting line up.

Icon4s:


So what made you feel an untested Awaziem will do better than Omeruo?

Rohr is yet to come out on why he made that change at the last minute. As from tomorrow what transpired will start coming out.

TheGoodJoe:


I knew we were in trouble when we lost Hope Akpan. This is also not a call for Hope Akpan but a defensive midfielder to play in that fashion. Just sit and shield.

Ndidi has the quality to do that and I hope he bears that responsibility. Just keep it simple.

komekn:


I will ask Dominic Iorfa to sort out his long term contract asap and play for Nigeria.

I will ask Solanke too I already know Aluko is ever willing. From what I see we need new quality proven and established players not just potential future prospects.

Icon4s:


We were trouble how?

Is he a Conte?

Icon4s:


You know na.

TheGoodJoe:


I have told you before, strategy. Hold the ball to draw out the defenders. He did it well in the first half. Awaziem has good ability with the ball.

Mickael2:


quality? and Solanke is the quality player here? lol
