Brother, since we are like family here, I just came out of a surgical operation. Currently still hospitalized. But no worries, it came out good and I am recovering.

I didn't watch the game because the Hospital's management made it as a policy not to switch to football games due to their hypertensive patients. I never knew until 5 minutes before the game when I requested for super sport .

For those having high hopes about Okon's career prospects, make una just commot eye from that side. Dude is already over 30 or at least 28 years old. He is already at the end of his prime and will start declining form wise in a matter of 2-4 years.

He may have turned out a fantastic player if he was discovered in his youth and marketed to Europe where his talents would've been honed by tactically savvy coaches. No doubt he is a natural playmaker. Immensely talented. But like many other home trained boys, he simply lacks basic tactical training. Positioning and passing technique. If only he were truly 20, he would no doubt master those in a season or two abroad and grow into an absolute beast of a playmaker. Sadly, i don't see that happening. Okon is a lost cause. You can't teach an old dog new tricks....

He will disappear in a short while, but believe me when I say Aniekeme Okon is the Messi Nigeria never had.

BascoVanVeli:
The man city lad took a shot at the end that Pep would have been disgusted with. All the players got selfish around 90mins, there was no coordination and everybody wanted to be the hero. Ofobor should never have been substituted and Offia should have come in for Effiom. Success was bang average and I don't see what the hype was about tbh. I will have to admit that I was wrong about Tijani although he was probably the hardest worker on the team he just was poor at almost every thing else, Nazifi would have done better although I wouldn't have expected better service.


Samu would have made a world of difference.

Oforboh was rightly substituted. He gassed out.

Tijani was the missing link in the attack. He should have been substituted.

Nigeria U20 Player Ratings Vs Senegal : Makanjuola The Bright Spark; Okon Promising; Tijani Awful; Ofoborh Below Average

Nigeria U20 Player Ratings Vs Senegal : Makanjuola The Bright Spark; Okon Promising; Tijani Awful; Ofoborh Below Average

The Flying Eagles on Monday evening lost 2-1 to the Junior Teranga Lions of Senegal in the all West Africa duel in the last 16 of the FIFA U20 World Cup.

Allnigeriasoccer.com's Izuchukwu Okosi here presents the match ratings of the Nigerian players.

The Starters

Olawale Oremade : The goalkeeper kept out one good shot but otherwise found it difficult to deal with what the Senegalese threw at him. He misjudged the flight of the ball in the 14th minute as Youssouph Badji went for a teasing cross by Alpha Diounkou. Made two instinctive saves in the second half. 5/10.

Zulkifilu Rabiu : The right back who has played in all matches played by the Eagles was outwitted and outrun by the dangerous Amadou Sagna to score Senegal's first goal. 6/10

Ikouwem Udo Utin : The captain was yellow carded in the second half but he was generally effective in his defending. However his best game for the team remained that against Qatar. 5/10.

Aliu Salawudeen : He partnered Igoh in the the heart of the defence. However he almost gifted the opponents a goal as a clearance from a tight angle almost had the ball roll to the right corner. 4/10.

Igoh Ogbu : Had a better game than in the previous against Ukraine. There was noticeably a better communication between him and Salawudeen. 5/10.

Kingsley Michael : Combative and full of industry as usual, the Perugia of Italy midfielder was substituted in the second half through injury. 5/10.

Nnamdi Ofoborh : The Bournemouth midfielder had a below average game, poorer than what he delivered against USA. The player gave away the ball once in each halves and was duly substituted off in the second half by Tom Dele-Bashiru. 4/10.

Aniekeme Okon : The liveliest Nigerian player on the day with his creativity. The Akwa United star's passes, vision and movements off the ball were pleasing to see in a team often criticised back home. Was credited with the Nigerian goal after his knee deflected in Makanjuola's freekick.

Okon is almost definitely not going to remain an Akwa United player for too long. Europe beckons for the playmaker. 7.5/10.

Maxwell Effiom : The Enyimba forward who would have offered more was substituted in the 28th minute of the match when he was fouled by Cavin Diagne and had to be stretchered off to the dressing room. 4/10.

Success Makanjuola : The Water FC of Abuja forward was a bright spark for the Nigerian side with his runs and through passes which caused trepidation for the Senegalese defenders.

Had a goal from a freekick handed to Okon whose foot directed the ball to the net. The future is also bright for this boy. Promising. 7/10.

Tijani Muhammed : The striker's upper body strength was a tool to destabilize the Senegalese but some of his touches left much to be desired. 3.5/10.

The Substitutes

Tom Dele-Bashiru : Came on for Nnamdi Oforborh and helped improve the team in the second half by creating goal scoring chances.

It was a shock somewhat that Aigbogun did not start the Manchester City youngster alongside Okon. Their midfield combination and Ofoborh coming off the bench rather than starting would have offered more. 5/10.

Paul Eletu : The midfielder did not do much as he replaced an injured Kingsley Michael. He had a headed clearance in the box though. 4/10.

Yira Sor : Was presented a chance to score from a promising counter attack but he could not get a goal from that opportunity. A decent player but has to work on his composure and final ball. 5/10.

He didn't show any signs of fatigue IMO just that they didn't give him the ball. We didn't have an attack so how could we have had a missing link? At least Tijani was pressing, what did the other 2 do?

realpoacher:


Bro i am a very passionate football fan

But i can become very fanatic with Nigerian teams

I can go to any length to watch Nigeria play


Its just unfortunate to be tortured by the very thing you love so much.


Nigerian football is my only source of joy and happiness

KpagoGIN:
After watching yesterday's match and the follow up on how this team came to be, I only hope Many Garba is also watching and following cause the same drama affecting this team selection was what we were made to believe during the u17 team selection for the Africa qualifiers.
