I guess she wore #19 jersey in China game. I wondered why the coach played her as defensive midfielder. She showed the skills of a modern soccer; very fluid, strong and fast with the ball.

Chinwendu Ihezuo have been wearing the no19 jersey since her U17 day's...
She played as a Striker in both games... From the Left and as a Center forward..

mostob:
we really need to stop playing Ebi and Ohale and find quality backup. Those two are quality already.

We really need back up for this two, although Josephine Chukwunonye is also a natural Center back... I think if Ugochi Emenayo 21yrs keep working hard she will be a good back up soon.

Onome Ebi has been outstanding.... even at 35yrs she is still Bossing the Superfalcons defence...

Who will Succeed her as soon as she hang up her Boots.

Superfalcons must Work harder!

Arna-Bjørnar FC of Norway have signed Nigerian Superfalcons Left Back

Norwegian Toppserien side Arna-Bjørnar Fotball have announced the capture of Nigeria international Ngozi Ebere.
The financial terms and duration of the contract signed by the defender have not been disclosed by Arna-Bjørnar.
The 27-year-old would have represented the Super Falcons at the four-nation tournament in China but had problems securing a visa.
Ebere was a key member of the Nigeria squad that won the 2018 Africa Women Cup of Nations and was also in the winning team of 2014 and 2016.
She began her career in Europe with Paris Saint-Germain and later represented Barcelona FA in Cyprus.
Ebere is in line to make her competitive debut for her new employer when they face Trondheims-ørn in the Toppserien on March 23.

Spain and Belgium played a 1 --- 1 Draw today... I believe the Belgium side will give Falcon a tough fight in Cyprus...
And probably, the game against Spain, Canada and Jamaica will also help the Team alot

olapluto:
I watched the full 90 minutes, and I think I saw what the coach was trying to achieve. I think Anam Imo will definitely improve. Uchendu will probably not make it to the world cup if she doesnt improve drastically. Ihezuo is a good squad player.
Thomas Dennerby is still to get the attacking groove on. He is focusing on a compact, disciplined build up, which eliminates player expression.

I think it was a good match, and the team did well. Central midfield is still a massive problem and Osas Igbinovia needs to come in. My biggest fear now is that the coach seems unwilling to try some obviously good players.
Having said that, if we play the way we did today, then we will certainly beat Romania.

Chinaza Uchendu wasn't impressive at all, She can't offer what Ordega brings to the attack. She need to improve 100% if she wishes to go to the World Cup..
Anam tried but still need to work harder.
Uchenna Kanu is a better option

DerideGull:
Africans are not visionary. Nigerians are the worst aspect of the statement. What will cause the coach to bring in younger players instead of these tired and old legs? The Nigerian female team needs injection of players such as Chariity Ucheibe, Peace Efih, Grace Igboamalu, Tessy Biahwo, Osarenoma Igbinovia and Florence Ijamilusi in the midfield.

In addition, can someone tell the dumbass NFF bosses to hire Peter Dededvo as the coach of the Falcons?

This 3 players are natural Defensive midfielder
Evelyn Nwabuoku 33yrs (Rivers Angel)
Osarenoma Igbinovia 22yrs (Bayelsa Queen)
Christy Ucheibe 18yrs (Nasarawa Amazon)
they will play the role better than Ayinde and Chikwelu.
Ayinde plays better as a Central or Attacking Midfielder.. you could recall how Florence Omagbemi played her when she was in charge of the team.

Patricia George 2018 Season Highlights.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zl9gefjaJ-0

There is already a Wing back.....
Patricia George 22yrs from the US, she is typically the New Faith Ikidi. She is fast, Skillful and win the ball the way Faith does... She couldn't come for the Chinese tournament due to Visa delay....
She already confirmed she would be available for selections before the Cyprus Cup..

Halimatu Ayinde is not a natural Defensive midfielder...
the team lack a natural Ball winner in the midfield. The Coaches should bring back Evelyn Nwabuoku or better still a Younger DM like Christy Ucheibe, Osarenoma Igbinovia is also a good player in that position.

mostob:
it is glaring,super Falcons need fresh blood.Those old mamas should retire.
EBI and Ohale are good, we need more reliable CBs in case both are injured
Ayinde is good but she need a decent back up
Chikwelu is heavy,she is good too but an energetic alternatives won't be a bad idea
Okobi,she is good but she needs a back up too.Ajibade is not mobile enough to play her role.i would suggest Oshoala be moved to the AM.
Umotong should be able to give Desire a stiff competition.
our wingers are good....Dike Franny. who else?
Oluehi has already prove herself,we need a reliable back up also.
Dennerby has been dissapointing but i will still give him a benefit of doubt.

And the second Li Ying's goal

It could have been more, we have decent GK. Dennerby should build from this game & effect necessary adjustments. The next game is against Romania.

The First Goal

BascoVanVeli:
Great offside u mean?
