Can neutrals (football fans who don't support any football club) like me be allowed to pre-analyse some of these matches?

I just don't get it. Isn't Colin Udoh someone like u? I thought I was coming here to read your own player analysis & player rating but alas it's that of the all-knowing kickoffnigeria.com's Colin Udoh.

@ JNdupu
All defenders can't play alike. Besides Shittu balloons the ball mostly when he's under pressure or there's no better alternative. Moreover, the Mozambicans were pressing us becos Amodu decided to play more of containment football and decided to defend deep in his own half. You can't seriously be insinuating that the occasional clearances by Shittu were responsible for the pressure or are you? Shittu has been rock solid in defence so far in the 2 matches he's played EOD.  
@illusion2
I agree with u on Etuhu with regards to the Mozambique match. He was clearly not as effective as Kaita yesterday in the DM position but he had an excellent match against Benin & a decent showing against Egypt so I won't go as far as saying he's not S.E material. Kaita was definitely THE MAN in midfield yesterday.
@ undispu3rd
You are a roach and clearly u know nothing about Nigerian football and Amodu. It's better to keep quiet and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and be confirmed to be one. I'm sure Osaze played all by himself against Mozambique! Infact, he took the ball from his post dribbled the entire mozambican players & scored. Yeye! Like se football no be team sports. Shioor! Enter wikipedia and type in Amodu Shuaibu before u come in here and start spewing the rubbish in that coconut shell u call a brain.
Aaah, I tire for this kain 9jerians sef. If S.E lose, na Amodu fault but if S.E win them no go wan give am the credit wey em deserve.

If Amodu does well in this competition (semi-final), he should be allowed to take us to SA.

You guys call it 'any where belle face' but I'll rather refer to it as No Nonsense Attitude and Not Taking Chances. Cut Shittu some slack. It even amazes me that for someone his size, he can move at all & his aerial power is superb. Shittu is the only defender in the team who'll throw his body at a ball & do everything within his power to block a goal bound shot. What he lacks in technique & style, he more than makes up with in commitment, hardwork, power, zeal & determination. (Shittu's case be like person wey no too sabi book but dey jack steady & wella 24/7 and hence dey pass with flying colours) That's why he plays as the sweeper (last man) while Apam plays as the stopper and does more man to man marking. I particularly like him cos he co-ordinates & marshalls the defence. After all said and said, he was our best defender in Ghana 2008 and so far he's proving to be our best defender in Angola 2010.

Immediately after the competition, I want to see Nwaneri dropped (I pray everyday nothing happens to Shittu & Apam (by way of injury & card suspensions) for Adeleye. Nwaneri has never been good & will never be. Kanu is a dead log of wood and is a total waste of space IMO.

@ kgdavid
Etuhu and Shittu were my best players against Benin so I if I say he didn't perform well today, believe me thats how I saw it. BTW, u don't have to agree with me. It's just my own opinion. Why don't u post your own player analysis & rating so we can see?

The mozambiquans resorted to taking shots from way outside our box 18 and only had one chance from inside the box
All in all, good performance by the eagles.
My Ratings goes thus
*V. Enyeama - definitely came to the party today. Made some very good saves & kept us in the game in the 1st half - 8/10.  *Y. Mohammed - still playing below par but definitely improving from game to game. He's certainly grown in confidence and he certainly sealed up his wing today. Did a good job of covering for Osaze when he drifted into the center. He needs to do more close marking though- 6.5/10.
*E. Echiejile - Very impressive defender. So this kain player dey wey we dey suffer ourself with T.Taiwo? He did the business of defending today and he gave his opposing player close marking - 7/10.
*Danny Shittu - The captain and commander in chief on the pitch. Not too skillful and has a penchant for balløonig balls out of defence but did a good job of marshalling the defence line today & I don't recall him putting a foot wrong. Got extra point for nodding down the ball which should have resulted in our 1st goal by Obasi - 8/10
*A. Onyekachi - Very good defender. Did a lot of close marking and intercepted so many short passes interchanged by the opposing team around our 18 - 7.5/10.
*S. Kaita - Did the most marking and disrupted more opposing attacks 2day - 7/10.
*D. Etuhu - Was simply anonymous in midfield today and lost the ball a couple of times too - 5/10.
* M. Obi - Too many short backward & sideway passes when he should have run and moved forward with the ball. Dude needs a change of mentality and must show ambition & purpose with the ball. He needs a heavy dose of Osaze's 'forward always' mentality. A below par performance - 5.5/10.
* C.Obasi - His performance 2day was lukewarm. So much is expected from him particularly after what he did in the 1st match. Should have gotten 2 goals in the 1st 45 and put us ahead. Did a good job of backtracking, marking the opposing players on his wing & helping out Echiejile though - 6/10.
* O. Odemwingie - Played with passion, commitment, drive (as usual) and was the only ball carrier today. Drifted into the center from time to time & did what the other players were afraid to do, TAKE SHOTS AT GOAL (this led to our 1st goal). His runs off the ball & positional play was very good too (led to the 2nd goal). Also did a good job of backtracking and helping out Mohammed -9/10.
*Y.Aiyegbeni - Clearly lacks pace & mobility. He was too static and didn't make runs off the ball. Also needs to stop hiding behind defenders and make dummy runs to shake off his markers. Lacked positional play and should have really scored his 1 on 1 chance for some1 who says he's our best striker. Got marks for beating the offside trap and providing the assist for Osaze to score our 2nd goal though- 5/10
*O. Nsofor - Should have passed a particular thru' ball to Martins but wasted it by shooting wide. Also wasted what should have been our 4th goal. Did a lot of marking and chased down the opposing defenders when they were running with the ball though - 5/10.
*O. Martins - Injected some pace into the attack and forced the Mozambiquan goalkeeper into making an error just outside his 18. Also had the presence of mind to be in good position and score the 3rd goal - 5.5/10.

Aieromon, u've got mail

Odemwingie played on the right but drifted into the midfield with the ball a couple of times in the 1st half. This only goes to show he can play as an attacking midfielder. Amodu take note!

Jesus! This Nigerian team will make a primary school team look good.

Egypt 1 Benin 0

Carlos Quieroz should STFU. What exactly has he achieved in his entire coaching career?

Poster, u are a blockhead and a big fool.
-Are u for real when u say that Secondary school games master Adegboye Onigbinde is better than Amodu?
-Give me ONE good reason why Amodu should quit? and what exactly do u mean by he lacks honour & dignity?
Pray, tell - Mention the players discovered by Adegboye Onigbhinde? While u're at it, please who discovered Y. Mohammed, M. Emenaro?
You lucky sey I dey phone or I for tackle u wella. All these silly twats & beer parlour football analysts sef. Shioor!

Another lie by the Peoples Decieving Party. Even if it's true, who wants a vegetable as president.

Another elephant project that will be used as a means of embezzling money.

Clearly there are too many football novices and illiterates on this thread. Yet, they'll open their dirty stinking mouths to castigate and criticize Amodu as if they could do better. Shioor!

The Phone Section Poster of the Year wishes the Romance Section Poster of the Year a quick and full recovery - lol

Yeah, I also think the CTU director is trying too hard. I particularly liked the way jack was roped into the Season 8.
