Re: It wasn’t that bad...
It was bad that we gave up a four goal lead. At home. Had a three goal lead with 18 mins to go.
So yeah, it was a really bad result.
But...
The performance for 70 mins was amazing. The collapse was catastrophic. But it happens. Just ask Tottenham HotSpurs
Ultimately once you get over the shock, you analyse the performance and you have to say: 18 disastrous minutes. Don’t let it happen again.

The result was disappointing but I have to agree with Yujam and others here. The first 70 minutes wasn't bad. The last 20 was just a lack of concentration. We analyze performance and we move...

Yujam, I hope you are not humoring us. It was bad and patheticYUJAM wrote:Watched the game on BEIN last night.
I think the team didn’t play terribly. There were a few big mistakes that led to goals:
Iwobi, Chukwuze, Madueke and the CBs were culpable for the goals. But these guys are yet to gel and I think these issues will be fixed soon.
That said there are a few players who may not have the quality to represent the team at the highest level:
The jury is still out on the goalie. But he starts for Sparta so the potential must be there. Maybe this was a one-off bad game for him.
Aribo. Looked weak and ineffectual in midfield. How does he do against tougher opposition? He needs to prove himself
The RB Kevin didn’t look like a RB.
Sanusi even though he starts for Porto, he was underwhelming in my view. His crossing was really poor. Maybe a one-off?
There may be some changes in the lineup needed based on the performance of some players. The core of the team is strong and young when you think of guys like Vic, Ndidi, Etebo, Chukwueze, Awaziem, Omeruo and Iwobi They’ll be around for a while. The rest of the positions can be resolved with some tinkering.

Nice one. Interesting view points. Is this a regular program like the one on Arsenal?
BTW, it is illuminating to hear a lot of the social problems seeping through several of the viewpoints. That., my brother, speaks a lot beyond soccer.

Yup. Really a joy to listen to them. Nigeria has disappeared them big time.

I don't normally agree with you "vancity eagle" but thanks for this response, the overreaction is incredible to see.vancity eagle wrote:wanaj0 wrote:

Keshi did worse. He lost to fake Congo at home.
There were also home draws against Kenya, and losses to Sudan.
Oh and he failed to qualify for AFCON.
What would you say if that was Rohr ?
