Nigeria(0) vs Serbia(2)

[SylverEagles]

Why are the changes coming so late?

But that has always been Rohr's calling card.

He typically waits too long for subs... even when the common eye can see that the thread is beginning to show.

No be today.

I'm particularly disappointed with that. Why not use the full complement of players for both games? What's the point of Ighalo coming in instead of Ajayi for example? Why not Ezenwa for the second half? Very disappointing use of friendlies.

Plus side...Ndidi is a beast of a player. Idowu is a good solid defender. If we can remove shaku skaku from Iwobi game he can be effective, Ighalo and Musa did okay, Uzoho is two years away from being a solid keeper.

Ndidi might be a beast of a player but he needs to show some positional discipline when he plays for the Eagles.

You are right, he tries to do too much but he is a terrific player.

Serbia that Morocco beat?

Yes, against a Nigeria that beat Poland away, a higher FIFA ranked team. Football is not mathematics. The Serbians analysed their defeat and made the necessary changes to win the next game. We won a game and went into the next game thinking all was fine.

Nonsense. We went into this game looking to try out new players and tactics. That afterall is the goal of friendlies.
It didnt work (this time). No need to exaggerate.

Err... I don't think all is fine if you have no shot on goal in 180 minutes of football.

Ebhuehi really cost us this match he is just not ready.

lmao. u need glasses

He didnt have a great game
the kid is overhyped on this forum
but he wasnt a disaster either
doesnt deserve to bench shehu imho

the whole team sucked. Ebuehi was no worse and certainly was not at fault for the goals

[SylverEagles]

Someone was so bold he claimed we would clean out Germany, Spain and Brasilall put together.

Can you imagine?

You guys really need to consider that such people are just out of their minds!

[smartbrother]

its funny how we have to lose friendly matches for fans to stop burying their heads in the sand
this was actually a much better performance than agains poland in an attacking sense
but we were celebrating after the poland game

[anointed]

Spain 6-1 Argentina

Thus, it is becoming clear we have no goalkeeper. How do we solve this problem? Who do we have?

"was no worse" is not exactly high praise

This was an experiment gone wrong

This is why this has to be our formation. The team that beat Cameroon is it. Anything else is a waste of time

---------Ndidi-----Onazi----------

Moses---------Mikel----------Simon

-------------Ighalo---------------

There is no experiment go wrong in a friendly. You try it and if it doesn't work you don't do it again. If we win it is just a friendly. If you lose na war. Our problems are the fans mehn....damn!

Yeah. We couldn't get a shot on target in two games because of the fans. Clown!

It is what the coach see and need to work on. It is a freaking friendly game for crying out loud. Experiment go wrong in a friendly? Yes I am really the clown...smdh

You're a clown for saying fans are the problem - experiment or no experiment.

Why? To make you happy? Thought the whole essence of ftiendlies was to try out everyone. You know that awin is not the only result expected in a friendly.......you need to see how your team reacts to losses to you know. As far as friendly goes everything is positive for thr team building.

You obviously did not know why I said so. All you had to do was ask...No be fight. We are all in this together. Some of us dey go watch this team for Russia so we all want them to play well.

[charlie]

We really needed this loss. The false sense of security was getting a bit much..

Kpom!

The personnel grouping we used in this game no be am at all at all.

The gaps and raggedy play in two games is telling.

No saves forced of the opposing Keeper in two games.

Moses forced one useless save in the first half, but your point stands, we can't put anything together attacking wise. Our attacking players play like they've never met each other, very odd.

Not so odd. We've seen this before when JMO is not playing. No doubt he is the engine in our midfield, which is troubling since (like Argentina without Messi), we can be lost without him. Its something we have to fix longterm.

But that's the point SylverEagles was making. Why not try OTHER players you on the squad to see what they have. We still don't know what Ajayi and others bring to the team. Ighalo is an established quantity.

[oloye]

The Shehu i saw at the Okympics is not about to be benched by anybody.....when i hail a player it is for a good cause,except for that yeye Mangala

Ebuehi ko, Ogbuefi ni!

[platinum]

Spain 6, Argentina 1.
Dem go sack Sampaoli soon

[BigMuze]

Our forward play is our biggest problem. If we can’t play on the counter then we basically huff and puff. It’s been that way for ages. We may have to accept bus parking whenever Mikel doesn’t play

Really, not our midfield. Our forward play is our biggest problem.

Forward play includes midfield transition to attach doesn’t it? Our midfield is already as combatant as any in the world, but what happens after winning balls? Weak transition, partly because of our movement when attacking.

He had a bad game period. In the first half it was a positional issue and in the second it morphed into him being taken for a ride and eventually both goals coming from his side. Now does this mean he is a bad player...no, it just means he has lots to learn. BTW the other defenders and even the goalie did not have bad games. Awazeim was shaky to begin with but settled down. The problem was that left side...it didn't help the boy that Iwobi was with him.

[DIMKA76]

I hope Spain make it 7
