Glad to see that Nigerians can at least agree on kne thing.... that Obi and Onazi had a HORRIBLE game!!

I suspect the issue of age cheating may have caught up with them. Maybe they are just too slow to play dynamic midfield.

Not a bad game. Many will be looking at yhe result but I'm more interested in how players performed. Onazi and Joel Obi didn't cover themselves in glory. Etebo and Ogu did better. Ebuehi also had a good game.

It's also good that Gernot Rohr has a plan B. He switched to a back 3 with John Ogu and Iwobi dropped deeper giving better stability in defence.

Nice game in the 2nd half.

I expect Joel obi out.
Ola Aina based on his game against Congo
Onazi, he has really not being impressive of late. Ndidi and John Ogu are better replacement.

Onazi should be dropped to send a message to those who think, because of their experience, they can always walk into the team.

Ok at the game and it's not a good look. Nigeria are making this team look brilliant. We have holes in midfield on the right and left. Midfield and defense look slow and the while teams setup is not containing England's passing which is embarrassing

Joe Obi is the wrong guy for midfield but to be honest the teams setup is porous. England by measure are taking the Mick.

Final Verdict:
1. Super Eagles won't win world cup, buhari and nff can forget it grin
2. The Coach is still trying to establish his 1st eleven, some trusted legs disappointed today.
3. The team will look better when Ndidi comes back, etebo and ogu did a decent job.
4. Musa may not be technically sound but he plays his heart out.
5. the goalkeeper could have kept the score 1-1 if kane's goal didn't squirm under his body.

N.B: Nigeria needs to watch against slow start at the world cup, as u can see today; team selection can affect the outcome of a game.
Gentlemen we will meet Czech on June 6, let's wait and see. cool

With this second half impressive performance u can be assured what the team need is a little confidence to boost their moral, we respected England too much in the first half

CSTR1003:
Defence and goal keeping which was supposed to be our weakness looks decent.

Our midfield and attack need to get Sharper.

Rohr should never play two defensive midfielders ever again to avoid the calamitous game we had in the first half .

Anyway, it is a friendly. It was promising from the super eagles.

Sorry to bust your bubble but this super eagles cannot do anything in russia.


Attack is too blunt , no quality on the bench to provide back up for moses and iwobi



ighalo no dey score , maybe 1 in 4 games

Wheeew! That was the worst 1st half of football I have ever watched from a Nigerian team ... 2nd half was more like it, if they played the 1st half like 2nd half Nigeria would've beaten England or draw. That 2nd half performance though ... going to be a good World Cup.

Dude can't make a simple pass in the final third. Look at how he miscued that simple pull back to iwobi when the referee played an advantage on the foul on ighalo. That ought to have been 2-2 angry

These two can't be allowed to go to Russia. At least one must be dropped and the other shouldn't be in the first 11
Kelechi Nwakali would have been better compared to those two .

Even Ruben loftus cheek is not better than him.

He is young but he has far more talent than lotus cheek , onazi and Joel obi.

And England wins 2-1
England had the 1st half and should have scored at least 4 goals in that half because Naija's defense was ultra shambolic

Second half , Naija woke up with a follow up goal from Iwobi after Ighalo struck the foot of the goal post

Overall, we are not there yet at all.
Our team is not organized,
Communication between players very poor . Most of our players were colliding with each other like they're in a bull fight
Our defense need to tidy up
Midfield worries me,
Our attackers must be ready to convert one time.
We are vulnerable to dead balls.

Something to cheer...OUR GOAL KEEPER WAS GOOD

Exactly sir. He has indeed dropped in form, guess his real age is catching up with him.

better display in the Second half


Fact I got from the Game

Please can we just drop onazi and Joel already

just look how calm etebo was in that second half

It's looks like our coach is technically okay I mean his new formation matched England in the second half

We need another striker to help Ighalo because Iheanacho and musa re not strikers

Ebuehi is a natural right back

And finally is only naija can play with confidence we really have like 5 or 6 quality players that can make a difference in that team
