This doesn’t look like the same team that just played in the World Cup. Too much jittery nerves

Different manager for one thing. The set up for each match at the WC was very clever.

Also the Ayinla / Uchebe partnership was the fulcrum upon which that team pivoted. Without it there’s less coordination in the middle third.

“It seems the Nigerians are playing without a coach because they look confused”.

Damn. Sounds like there is a problem!

Who is coaching the team in Waldrum's absence, and did NFF decide to part ways with Waldrum?

Waldrum is a decent coach. I wouldn't consider him a tactical genius by any means. The poor performance maybe more of a reflection of the limited technical competence of the interim coaches, and not a reflection of lack of quality among the players.

Watched his team(Pittsburgh)played on Sunday. Deborah Abiodun game has improved in leaps & bounds. A gain for the falcons.
