10 observations I have to make about the Lesotho game

[Ayo Akinfe]

[1] I like the fact Tyronne Ebuehi and Zaidu Sanusi played well as fullbacks. They both managed to get up and down along the flanks well

[2] I am really pissed off about the fact that Rohr did not feature Chigozie Awaziem and Semi Ajayi in central defence. Is there any section in Nigeria's constitution that says Leon Balogun and William Ekong have to start every Super Eagles match?

[3] Given how much possession we had, we needed out centrebacks to play the ball out of defence. Clearly, Balogun and Ekong are not up to this and the NFF now needs to get tough on Rohr. Enough of his nonsense

[4] The fact that Ekong is playing for lowly Watford in the English Championship says it all. We have numerous better centrebacks but he chose to go with a Championship player. We all saw how Ekong not only bagged a yellow card but nearly cost us a goal too. His days as a Super Eagles starter are long over

[5] In midfield today, we were very irresponsible. We gave the ball away too often. Wilfred Ndidi dare not pl;ay that way for Leicester City

[6] Our build-up play was too slow and our passing forward was too pedestrian. Do not be deceived by the 3-0 scoreline. The Lesothans played with 11 men behind the ball for 90 minutes

[7] I do not understand who Rohr started Iheanacho when he was not playing 3-5-2. Our team would have had more balance with Onyekuru and Chukwueze playing out wide, freeing up Iwobi to play as a proper number 10

[8] What I find totally unforgivable today was Rohr bringing on the clubless Ahmed Musa. Only a madman ready for admission into the lunatic asylum plays a player who has not kicked a ball in anger since October in a competitive game. Rohr's actions are a big insult to all those hardworking Nigerian players out there doing their best to get into the national team

[9] Today, there were too many misplaced passes, not enough movement off the ball, too many heavy touches and very pedestrian build-ups. Not up to Nigerian standards of play at all. Kelechi Iheanacho appears to always have to to trap the ball a meter away from himself

[10] From what I can see, Rohr is simply never going to change. Once he likes a player, he plays you, irrespective of form or if there are better alternatives available. What is driving me crazy about all this is the fact that it is too close to Qatar 2022 to replace him. I guess we will just have to bear it. If we do not qualify for the World Cup, so be it

Did we watch the same Match?? Apart from no 1& 8, I disagree with everything.

Somebody needs a hug.

Everyone can have an opinion, but it is odd that in a match where the two centrebacks easily shut out the opposition and Iheanacho broke the deadlock with a wonderful assist, that these are the three players you single out for criticism. In fact, 5 of the 10 points are dedicated to those three. It was a good run out and a pretty thorough victory over an inferior side who were playing very defensively, don't really see much to complain about.

Some people just want their favorite players starting. Good results or not.

Thought this was one of the SE best performances in a long long time.

[Ayo Akinfe]

Did the Eagles string six passes together all 90 minutes?
