Defense seems to be the weak point

Post by osita »

Balogun is not consistent,switches off and creates problems atimes at the central defense ,also while Aina passes and concentration seems suspect.

Kalu seem off this match

Now Ndidi is out for the next Match we need someone like azubuike with ogu to support iwobi in midfield.
Congrats to the guys but we can not lose second time to SA.
What do you guys think

I no worry too much for Ndidi becos Ogu dey dia.
They have the right instructions on how to defend, but na those off moments dey kill us. Too much ball watching especially on the right hand side. Nothing spoil because Tyronne and Shehu go come back one day. As long as we go RSA with 90% of our normal starters, dem no suppose fit beat us. Their coach knows how to exploit our weaknesses very well though.

The defenders weren't the problem. Given that defending (like attacking) is based on teamwork (emphasis on the TEAM), you should look at the overall positioning of the other players throughout the game.

The defence was atrocious. Every single one of them, just ball watching and out of position.

Ola Aina was particularly bad in defence but he was good in attack. Troost and Balogun were losing far too many balls in the air.

Also Uzoho was piss poor tonight. Probably his worst game in a SE shirt. Just terrible. For a second I wondered if it was Akpeyii in goal.
