I forgive the coach because he doesnt know his players well yet. He has Ihezuo on the bench but prefers Anam Imo who offers practically nothing. All his subs were off today.
They say good strikers win you matches, but good defenders win you tournaments. We may win this cup simply because we have solid experienced defenders.

Anam Imo and Rasheedat Ajibade were the worst performers during 2018 U20 women world cup. These two junk players have no place on Falcons yet.

I really like how our ladies have stepped up since the first game,I am still not sure which it is for our coach,is that he does not know his players really well or just not able to read a game much. At this time I will make a case for him that he still does not know his players that well. The reason for this that he should stop trying Ajibade in mid field....that was the mistake he made against south africa, and also her brought in initially yesterday to play in midfield,immediately,she came in the midfield collapsed finally. I give it to our defence. They were rock solid. I still believe that IMO should not step on the field yet,she is still not sure of herself, also taking orderga off,i do not subscribe too, he made quite a lot of blunders yesterday,The job of the coach cut out for him,going forward he need other replacement in the midfield,not ajibade.

The coach needs to introduce three players to the lineup; Chinwendu Ihiezuo, Chinasa Uchendu and Amarachi Okoronkwo.

Ajibade and Anam imo they are young players they are going to improve I'm sure ajibade is going to the world cup the coach trust her





I expect Courtney dike and umotong to be called for the world cup also

In terms of readiness for super falcons, then Anam Imo is not reaady. She's 4 years ahead of time. Ihezuo is the natural replacement for Oparanozie. Hopefully, they play up to 4 friendlies so the coach can know the team more.

I don't think the coach is sold on ihezuo he trust the youngsters more anytime he subtituted oparanozie he bring ajibade or Anam IMO

....okay....I never use to follow falcons games,just started wacthing the games...hence do not know more than the usual suspects for now....I hope he gets enough friendly to now his players,IMO,is a no no for now,let her just watch and learn from the bench...maybe 2 years time....ajibade in my own opinion is still not there yet either.

Ihezuo for Oparanozie
Amarachi Okoronkwo for Chikwelu
Chinasa Uchendu for Oshoala

If I am the coach, I will introduce these players at a certain time of the match.

.....I see,I do not know these players,I just hope he gets enough grade A games so he can see we what these players brings to the table....

Is age against our falcons already? Or tired legs? Rita Chikwelu was a blunder yesterday, in fact the midfield.

Lack of friendly games really affected these girls i pray we Win the Cup

Both age and tired legs.

Few Nairaland experts had indicated that the players are professionals as such do not need friendly matches to get ready for a tournament. Please be mindful that these Nairaland expects are core Africans.

If possible, the Falcons should participate in either the Algarve Cup or the SheBelieves Cup next year.

Alternatively, 3 or 4 friendly games should be lined up for the team before the World Cup. And those matches should be executed with the present squad + 6 other players who would be part of the provisional squad. I don’t want to see a situation where Dennerby calls up 50 players to camp.

Calling up 50 players to camp is a slight indication to me that the Dennerby doesn't know what he's doing yet.

Bring back Florence

BascoVanVeli:
Bring back Florence

Looking at this analytically, I will love to have Florence back, but she needs to upgrade the team's defensive play. Dennerby is not as good as Omagbemi. However, NFF will respect Dennerby more due to his skin colour.
I feel it will take Dennerby at least 5 or 6 friendly matches to really know his players. For now, he only trusts about 16 players and keeps repeating them. When he knows the team, he could help us, but we dont expect attacking football. His is to soak up pressure and win by a goal.

The problem is that we are not used to seeing falcons soak up pressure in Africa. The Dennerby tactic may be good for us against more clinical teams at the world cup, but this is Africa for fvck sake, we are used to super falcons dominating African teams in constant offensive play, not depending on long balls.

I had to disagree with you on the number of players the coach called up for camp as a slight indication of goofiness.

l know he called up 48 players to camp, which is also about 50 players( considering l was replying to this exact figure from a previous post) and of course doesn't take anything away from our point, or does it?
Afterall the guy whom l quoted above and who expressed his worry that Dennerby could call up 50 players, knew he called up 48 the last time, and the number 50 was for emphasis, since 48 is almost 50( the round figure).
lt's nothing to debate about, only an indication of a slight misunderstanding on your part.

Could it be he has already known the set of players to field and decided to scout for future call ups? I guess he used the opportunity to scout for new players.

he called about half of the U20 squad to camp trying to inject young players into the team but time time was not on his side he had to settled with An am IMO ,Ajibade and Nnadozie

The last 2 sets of U20 should come before this set in my opinion. They are not bad, in face, most are better than this set.

Vandals attacked a Cameroonian player's house after her pk miss.

the last 2 sets are oshoala, ihezuo, ayinde,

South Africa's vice captain that the Awcon has left the team camp to return to her club in Australia.. The women football league is currently ongoing there... Does that mean that FIFA doesn't rate the AWCON that much to allow clubs the right to recall their players during the tournament?

FT Cameroon 4 - 2 Mali Really feel for the Malians, next time they should carry better goalkeeper come

Those sort of goals are generally hard for female goalkeepers to stop.
