You know it there was lob he did that made me just melt.

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?).

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?

BascoVanVeli:



Actually FIFA forbids government interference so how is Pinnick now a government official? If you meant to say something different then say it but don't come and be acting like what you said was so complicated

andrew444:


There is nothing wrong in him shouting at the defence

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

Earthquake3:


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

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

Oasis007:
Ighalo run was timely. He made a good run to be honest, but I'm still sceptical about his scoring prowess.

Ah! After 7 goals in 8 games? Okay o...

darkelf:


I will reserve my praises for when we beat Senegal, Morocco, Egypt and the likes.

For now, i choose to remain conservative. Thanks

TheGoodJoe:


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.

Then you have no business criticizing the team, thanks.

Jarus:


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?

spacks:
I am really enjoying the standard of all the opposition teams so far.. Most countries are no work in the pack again

andrew444:


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

andrew444:


See as you make sense talk better thing

Oil dey your head jare

klexycole:

ChrisKels:


Lol this guy u no well jor

But I am reputed here for always making sense, just like that moment I pointed out u were same person as Mbjane, since then u deactivated the account and stopped playing ur usual pranks with it

BascoVanVeli:



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.

darkelf:


I will continue to criticize as I deem fit

Its my opinion and no one has the right to tell me when or how I air them. Hope you got that now?? Hope I'm clear ??

andrew444:


Akpeyi will start next game

He was passing the call like Claudio bravo

Starboytwo:
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 ...

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 I 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)....

sheyishemba:


ahhhh bravo kee you people can hype on person a blind bravo will not make those blunder he made yesterday...my verdict:- a blind bravo is better than apkeyi

komekn:


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

andrew444:
