Esiti was an absolute disaster and looked out of place the entire time he was on the pitch. I won’t blame Etebo who was one of the best performers on the pitch but once the subs entered everything fell apart.

Easily. Kalu and Chukwuezi were the biggest culprits which led to Osimehn fighting for crumbs in a game where we had good possession in dangerous areas numerous times.

Make we forgive dem.
Na small boy dey worry dem....

Chukwueze did just fine.

I really think they need to ride the pine for a while. That's the only way kids learn.

Our defensive line at the back was routinely flat and uneven or “shapeless” leading to them being susceptible to obvious through passes all along the line. It was better in the second half but still an issue.

If dancing ajasco with little end product is your thing. But if you appreciate that team work and humility in your play/ though process are critical ingredients of wining teams, then he and Kalu get a 3/10 score for me apiece.

But does a Rohr know how to fit him into the team when Ndidi returns or does he hit the bench waiting for garbage mins?

Well said. John is annoying with his repetitive ‘they have better players so we should lose’ rant. So silly and juvenile on many counts.

Abi o. His maddening selfishness last night made him look like a skillful Victor Nsofor.

You work so hard on multiple occasions only to be robbed by the referee continually. It was frustrating to watch talkless of the player involved

That was comical. Referee saw the play and initially made the correct call. You don’t overrule without being 100% certain which is near impossible to do without var.

My friend abeg shut up. We have been beating this type and level of European opposition consistently since the 90’s - even on their home soil. You would know if you weren’t born yesterday.

Watched the game.

I guess congratulations are in order for being forced to a draw by a good Ukraine team.

Positives.
Aribo: man, this is a pro's pro. Keeps it simple, has high football IQ and is exudes confidence. Love his play.
Uzoho: getting better and better. Lord knows how good he could be as his confidence grows. Without him we could be talking about another thing.
Iwobi: before he got exhausted putting double shift... for a professional, and a forward/midfielder, he can't shoot to save his life. Kai.
Osimihen (liked his first touch, aggression... seems to lack a left foot. Couple of times he could have scored if he had a left foot.

Negatives.
Our wide players: Chukwueze, in particular, was playing very unprofessional juvenile football. If he was less selfish and squared the ball to better positioned players we could have embarrassed these guys at home. Kalu was slightly better than Chukwueze but he could be a lot better and a lot more professional in his approach.
Our backline was a bit static. Getting caught out multiple times by back shoulder passes and showed some slow reaction time. Also a function of some poor positioning both from them and from the guys who were to shield them. The team tried to hold their lines but sometimes the gaps between the lines were exploited due to spacing issues.
Etebo. Really needs to work on his discipline and in-game awareness and responsibility of his position. When you find yourself in a position where you can't afford to lose the ball, PLEASE do just that. Don't depend on getting subjective calls from Refs when if you don't get those calls it will lead to a scoring threat for the opposing team.

Coaching. I am not a Rohr fan. So pardon my bias. He is doing somethings well but he still needs to learn how to make timely subs and the right subs. I am glad he brought in Esiti so that argument will be done and dusted and the file thrown away. Esiti is just tooooo STIFF. He was left standing like a drill cone on multiple occasions. Nuff said. I thought the coach left Iwobi there for too long in a friendly when the opposing team kept sending in fresh players in an attempt to salvage the game. Same with Osimhen. Finally, I will like to see us play for a full 90+ minutes without tiring or losing concentration. Timely subs and the right subs will fix some of that.

To the Coach and NFF, thank you for bringing in legitimate young players. I hope the performance and the experience of these new guys would encourage others who are still undecided to give Naijaria a chance.

Want to see more of these guys.

Well done is better than well said!!!

Dude, you need to take your deep inferiority complex to Ghana Web.

FIFA ranking is flawed so it doesn't really hold water when it comes to who should beat who.

In your world, why would a lower-ranked team beat a higher ranked team if the results are already predetermined?

Anyway, when you open your inferiority ridden brain to yarn your rubbish I remind you of Mada#$%&ingascar.

As that wasn't enough, Algeria who were not top 10 in Africa and with a new coach won the AFCON. But here you are trying to infect us with you self worthlessness.

The only reason I can think of that God would have put Trump into office was because He ran out of locusts.

I think the root cause of the problem was in midfield and our tactical organization in the non-possession phase.

Made worse by Etebo not being the most strategic player in an anchor role. Again and again, an oasis would magically appear in front of that defence!!! Laughable at times....

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Some of this was as a result of the change in his role as an auxiliary forward, drifting to the center to partner Osihmen. But that doesn't excuse the poor decision making...

One has to pay close attention to see the tweaks Rohr makes; perhaps b/c they are so rare...

I think we have the makings of a 4-3-3 team, with constant rotation across the frontline, with some dynamic thinking from the coach...

The key, continuing problem remains the quality in central defence. I think Omeruo is not high level and both he and Ekong are prone to lapses of concentration...

I'll keep an eye on Ozonwafor's progress. And Tomori at Chelski...Fat Frankie's politicking might just produce an EPL CD for Nigeria

Was quite a useful friendly I must say; ignoring the std dross post match commentary by Rohr...

There needs to be some serious pressure on Rohr to quicken the pace of the changes required here. Sadly, it will not come from a badly compromised sporting press....

Yeah, hopefully if an opponent scored a goal with his arm in a major tournament VAR will expose it.
