Some people will shaa be forcing their preferred players down our throat.

Nacho, nacho, nacho, he got dropped.


Musa played now, it's it shouldn't have been Musa, but Henry.


Paul was the highest scorer in training matches, but still, Victor should have started. If Victor was that good, why didn't he do the goal scoring?


As a Striker, your job is to score. You don't get to be spared blushes. Paul was banging goals in the training, he worked his as$ out for a starting berth, but Victor who was MIA in training matches should start.

You don't reap where you don't sow. That's like what we all know in this life.

This is not a matter of preference, it's a matter of proving your worth. These guys proved their worth in training and they got rewarded, but now, you want your own favorite players to start at the expense of whom?


We Nigerians shaa undecided

Ekong was really poor yesterday tbh

Sir, no offense but what Icon4s said about you seemed to be true. You only handpick and identify the team's weaknesses alone without stating the areas they excel (at least, appreciate their effort).

Since last night, you've been complaining and pointing out their flaws and more, but I haven't seen where you praised the team or highlighted their area of excellence (perhaps I missed this part?). sad

Nevertheless, even though some of your points are fantastic, your believe in the team's strength is still highly unimpressive. Apparently, you should know by now that most Nigerian teams usually start slow at tournaments and improve with every passing game.

Ultimately, I am not against your opinions, but you should try and balance your submissions. The players haven't graced the tournament just to lose - they are determined.

By the way, build up and preparations for the next game have already commenced. Let's hope they correct their mistakes and offer a better display in our next match.

Because they beat a poor Congolese side?

Maybe you have been following them to know their capabilities. Care to shed more light on them?

Those guys r very solid defensively..we saw it here in asaba wen we played dem in a friendly

There is nothing wrong in him shouting at the defence

If akpeyi have no business in the eagles so do ezenwa and uzoho

that's why I said Alloy ought to be investigated just like Salisu.

Our GK dept is this weak and he is the GK trainer

I'm questioning those who say Aina is better than Jamilu

Jamilu's crosses are more lethal because he overlaps and crosses from the touchline making it tricky for the defenders and easy for a tap in

Aina's crosses are easy to head out because he was crossing from outside to in

Cc TheGoodJoe

There is more to play than crosses. Aina's movement, passes, skill set. It is not just about killer crosses. It is like what Zinchenko offers Manchester City. You do not see Zinchenko running down the flanks pulling deadly crosses but the precision in his plays is a big part of the success of the team.

Jamilu is also good defensively but Aina makes it effortless and leaves little gaps. His communication and interchanges with Omeruo was also a delight to see.

As far as this dilemma in the middle goes, I'm of the opinion Mikel plays the elder statesman role Kanu played at World Cup 2010. Start on the bench and come in later to steady the ship from a deep role if necessary.

Also, Ndidi must learn that he's the DM. His primary job is to screen the area in front of the defense. Etebo does the Ramires-like ball carrying.

Iwobi as AM.

I don't know what you really see in Egypt ,Egypt is not that of a good team ,if you are rating them because they are the host then I agree with you

But if you are rating them as a good team then you are a joker

Mohammed Salah ,ahmed el Mohammady and their goal keeper are the only players who will start at the eagles

I think Rohr’s conservative stance is hindering the progress of the team when it comes to developing our lethal nature upfront. If he was more adventurous, he should have started Osimhen ahead of Onuachu with Musa/Onyekuru with Iwobi in the middle and had a good go at the Burundi team from day one. Just like we saw Aina yesterday and Ebuehi in the Argentine game, Rohr has a habit of putting his foot on the brakes in his selection.

We can not know how good Osimhen is if he does not give him a quality chance. Glad Ighalo is back and I hope we take a good lead early in the game for him to give Osimhen a nod. I believe he we will be impressed with Osimhen if given a nod. He offers more movement upfront and will give the midfield and wingers better passing options.

But all reports from training camp say Onuachu was the best striker in training and you still want Osimhen to bench before the game of yesterday?

It has a lot to do with the setup. In the way we started yesterday with only Chukwueze as the only direct player, it suits Onuachu and he showed his quality in that aspect yesterday. Made good attempts, won aerial balls, dropped to midfield to help build up plays.

However, if we go with a more direct and offensive set up, with three forwards firing at will, with clever build up plays, I will opt for Osimhen.

Just like Ighalo with more movement functioned better, Osimhen will even offer better movement than Ighalo.

Apart from the one mistake, Akpeyi was stunning. His passing would have made Pep Guardiola proud. He made the mistake but his blushes were saved so I don't see what we will gain from extra condemnation. The other keepers also make mistakes.

Well i knew we were gonna score in the 2nd half, infact I was waiting for the 2nd goal, but the game was tight, kudos to the "Burundi sides, I heard they were unbeaten in the qualifiers, look at that....

Now coming to the SE, from the back, Akpeyi made a fine stop to a rocket shot and I thought if this guy will stop "shaking" he might come good...I'm not particularly impressed with uzoho, infact I prefer Ezenwa confidence to uzoho imo, I still hold my breath tho when we get attacked but Akpeyi should keep his spot...5

CB, ekong was somehow and I think that razaq guy was a handful but I'd give him 5, omeruo was more stable, let's do 7, Ola Aina no need for long talk, I was HUGELY impressed, 10 for me, ND I've always been on d fence concerning shehu, I could see him fail to control one pass early on but injury didn't let me access him well, let's do a 3 for half days job...

Midfield was my issue, I think there were 2 or 3 times those Burundians broke and I was left looking for our midfielders, "I guess they went to get stuffs or something, Dmf usually go unnoticed cuz I didn't see much of Ndidi, I saw Etebo more tho, and FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONNNNG WHILE in a GWG I totally fail to see the importance of Mikel Obi in the match....y'all know that calming spirit baba ibeji brings forth now, but yesterday that spirit no dey anywhere, its rare when Mikel gets subbed off, but yesterday I was a deserved change and subsequently changed the dynamics of the game...Ndidi-4, etebo -5 ,Mikel -3....

I think henceforth Iwobi should play through the middle, I don't know how our coach would accommodate him, or who to drop ( that's his job, not mine) but from popular opinion iwobi should be our No 10, finito, o pari... Even my babe wey nor sabi ball was like, "hen hen Nigeria is playing well well now" after the introduction of musa, and iwobi in the middle, off course she asked about "Ronaldo In Gwg, before she burst my head with what about that 2nd one Which one, I asked, she said that "short one"....make Barca people catch you shogbo grin...

Iwobi nice game, nice one touch, nice turn I'd give him 7, chukwueze, simply a joy to watch...the fact that Naija now has a player that can delete 2 defenders and take it to them is loonng way overdue...still raw, didn't have any attempt, and should try to play with his man, but I still feel sorry for whoever is tasked to mark him, I'd give a 6...

IGHALO this guy divided opinion here, some prefer nacho instead, some don't even want to see him at all, but I love him, I knew he would score winkI just knew cuz at that moment it was high time we score a goal, I even posted it here that a goal is iminent, I saw that ball he refused to trap " I be like haaaa, if we go draw lasan, this thread will heap the blame of Nigerias problem since the amalgamation of 1914 on Jude, but he came good....solid senior man display, even Ronaldo wouldn't score it better...nuff said 7 for me...

Musa- he came and changed the game, chukwueze on one side, then musa on the other side and you say make we nor score, abeg...those crosses though, abeg next match make he reach him destination...7

Onuachu- first real game for the Eagles, baba it's not easy, had a couple of on targets tho, and I think he would come good, not a bad game for him and the service was really not there coupled with the fact that Burundi people did not only park bus but spread mat join do picnic..I'd give him 4

Awaziem- I have heard so much about him on this thread and was really looking forward to see him in action, didn't do too bad for a different position, marked tidily and made a big block late on, let's do 5 for him....

I must add this thread has made me a better supporter of the super Eagle, in my house you'd think Im working for the super eagles because of a the people watching the match I have better information than all of them....this thread has really really upped my game....

We still have kalu, osihmen, Moses, ogu on the bench, abeg we get squad...long live the Super Eagles...only one favour, pls I want to jam south Africa in this Afcon, I want to beat them mercilessly...forget Ghana they are our "junior" sister ( shots purposely fire)....

He was not awful and his exclusion was not justified particularly shocking was the "old dead fire wood" used to replace him, Echiejile.


This guy is an arm chair analyst, I have been watching u. How come u didn't say this when he was dropped, in fact u supported Rohr's decision to drop him, back then. I was the only one who rose up against the injustice though I got a lil backing from Saint forgiveness.



I remember when I said Tomori was the best defender in the championship, u said never, buh suddenly, u turned around to shrine same Tomori asking why he hasn't been approached by the NFF.
