Same Ebuehi we've seen against England, Serbia, Poland, Czech Republic, Iceland, Congo, Algeria. We've seen it all.

Ebuehi plays against these guys but Aina struggles against Cameroun and Benin and this is even an argument

benji93:
Calm down. How about you actually listen when someone makes a good point. The Benin side is definitely better than the Lesotho team in quality, but their quality is still quite low too. Perhaps Ebuehi looks better because he's playing a much weaker side. Just maybe. Give it a thought. Don't be too Nigerian for your own sake.

Ebuehi played better than Aina look at their individual performances, look at their passes and runs going forward, Benin and Lesotho are actually bad opposition but take your time and watch their individual performances

andrewbaba44:
A team that you could only score at the dying minutes of the game was worst than a team you almost beat 4-0

Change your weed dealer

Was our defense troubled against Benin or not? You don't even know the point of the argument

andrewbaba44:
You don’t need to have time for someone who speaks the fact to your face

What facts do you have, would you know facts if it hit you in the face

andrewbaba44:
Lesotho was better than Benin

Same Benin we struggled to beat

Be deceiving your self

Our defenders where mostly on holiday today and na only ekong do like Mumu small

Lesotho played better than Benin that packed the bus for 90 minutes, they dominated our midfield in the first half, Benin had one shot on target the whole match, if our defenders went on holiday against Lesotho then they weren't even invited against Benin

Samueltemi337:
We all know that


But rohr doesn't

Aina had a goal and assist coming into this game so it was normal for him to start, but Rohr has eyes and I'm sure he saw this performance from Ebuehi

andrewbaba44:
I watched the 90 minutes replay of the Benin game and I didn’t see aina causing an error

Benin is a far better team than Lesotho

Argue with your keyboard I don't have your time

12large1:
Lol on the basis of these 2 games, I agree. But it was Lesotho.

Lesotho was better than Benin, but it wasn't even about the opposition the way Ebuehi held possession and offered himself as a passing channel, not to talk about his attack and defence

andrewbaba44:
Ebuehi has an okay game just as aina did against Benin nothing special but I trust you guys to make a case out of nothing

You fit tell people wey no watch ball something else

You didn't even watch the Benin game so I wont argue with you

I will say it again

Ebuehi is FAR better than Aina

Meliforme:
Anayo, showcasing his inexperience.

Or his passion

Musa the 'non playing invitee' comes on

The way Ebuehi glides on the ball

What Uzoho is doing now is very important, organizing the defence that's where he trumps Okoye

Nice ball over the top from Ebuehi

TheGoodJoe:
He still needs to provide passing support.

Did you see the weird pass Iwobi made in the first half, it confused even the Lesotho defenders

JohnBullMySon:
. Too much defence

Aribo is a better defender than Etebo, believe it or not

TheGoodJoe:

I am not impressed with the forward movements of the full backs when we are in attacking positions. Especially Sanusi.

There were times Iwobi was on the flank and he did not have support from the left. Same with Chukwueze.

Probably the tactics to maintain a back four during attack but I feel Ndidi and Etebo should maintain cover positions instead of fullbacks.

Sanusi has been confused by Iwobi, there were some stray passes earlier on that Iwobi made that left Sanusi bemused, I think he is trying to play it safe at the moment

People still rate Etebo in 2021, hug the ball and insha Allah

Ndidi would have been more secure in that midfield with Aribo

Uzoho commanding his 18 yard box, good to see

Sanusi is surprisingly not in this game so far

Osimhen's long legs always gives him an advantage against keepers

Osimhen scores

People thought Etebo would ever be an attacking midfielder

Ebuehi is already giving me joy

mowah:
Great one from Rohr, this will certainly settle the Aina vs Ebuehi debate. I hope Uzoho is tested so he can prove Rohr wrong and will love to see Ajayi.

I don't think anything Uzoho will do in this match will change his position sadly

Good to see Uzoho back in the first team again

If you didn't play in any of these two matches, Rohr does not rate you

SE lineup to face Lesotho

The Oyibo wall has gone back to being our first choice pairing

wayodude:
Maybe...but they certainly don't walk into the team AND that again is based on their profile rather than ability.

Also bear in mind these are arguably their best players.

Are they better than the players we have?? Yes, they walk into the team

Zaha has 9 goals and 3 assists playing for Crystal Palace in the premier league, he would be out best player wtf

wayodude:
Fair enough when you contextualise it like that. But I'll go through all the players one by one for us here ....I'll drop my comments in parts ...

Let's go!

Haller - big money West Ham misfit who with the benefit of hindsight they would wish they never made. He even admitted himself he couldn't cut it in the premier League. Thanks for the honesty Seb, but we already figured out that one. Okay so he now plays for Ajax and has managed a couple of goals but he isn't a first rate £40m striker any day of the week really, is he? To conclude on this one, if he was Nigerian he would probably get a call-up based on the fact he plays for Ajax but based on ability and contribution on the pitch he would at best be on the bench.

Pepe - Skillful winger without end product most of the time which makes him run-off the mill. This summary might sound harsh but I think is fully justified on the basis of the last 2 seasons. Just like west ham, arsenal were suckered into parting with £70m for his services, with the hope that he could replicate his League 1 form in the prem. They are still waiting....We have seen plenty like him who appear to have all it takes to be that clutch player that makes the difference. They always seem on the brink of reaching those heights but then they don't. Familiarly over the years we have seen a few of those in the super eagles. He may still come good though but I don't particularly get sacred by the sight of him. Do you?

Zaha - on his day he is world class he has shown the capability to carry his team on countless occasions. He is a legit threat to any defence. Now the problem. In 3 out of 10 games he is like Prime Eden Hazard and in the other 7 games he is ala Simon Moses in a random mid season fixture away to Strasbourg. Good player though. Will likely start for super eagles based on reputation and reputation only.

To be continued....

Zaha and Pepe start for the Super Eagles, what do you mean reputation only
