CAR 0 vs Nigeria 2

[akamoke]

A much more controlled game, well done lads, I almost forgot we have a goalie on the pitch

[tedder89]

He has definitely earned the right to be a fixture in this squad

His decision making needs improvement tho….

Every time I see Ejuke with the ball there are always 4-5 players chasing him like he stole something

[Lolly]

I get why coaches pick Simon. Very disciplined performance. Perfect for a wingback.

This man, you sabi bolu

[vancity eagle]

This guy again!! Look at your mate. He is free. You did well to draw the defender to you. Selfish git!!

he did not have a clear pass to Osimehn.

Like I said with Napoli, Osimehn needs to improve his movement, sometimes he is too static, just waiting for the ball.

[mcal]

look at all the chances Ejuke is creating.

the dummy will start Musa in the next match.

Did Ejuke not play the whole match in Nigeria? How many did he create?

...too many short-sighted folks. He forgot Ejuke just came late taking on tired defenders.

[chif456]

Ejuke needs passing lessons. He has the skills, pace and unpredictability to cause mayhem. He needs to know how and when to pass the ball. his style of play will not make his team mates want to play with him, plus if he losses the ball it can be costly. I like him but he plays like he is playing monkey post.

[bushboy]

But for that nonsense in Lagos, we would virtually have qualified today.

[waka-man]

Job done. Ndidi and Iwobi showed how important they are to this team by their absence. Ejuke staking a claim to being a starter. The back 3 shows Rohr how to get more numbers in the middle.

Lots to be worried about - we don’t look like African champions. But I guess Rohr lives to fight another day.

[Lolly]

I said it by the time Ejuke learns to pass the ball, he would have retired.

[vancity eagle]

this game could have been 5-0.

Osimehn was very wasteful.

[maceo4]

They are finally coming out of that low block. This is where a good AM would have ripped them to shreds.

but we have Musa in that position, and people say he has been one of the best players. So what gives ?

Musa is not an AM but Rorh is being Rorh with that.

But he brings a lot of hustle in the midfield, something we lacked in the first game

hustle with little end product.

why he is called "chickenhead"

We didn't have 3 midfielders in the last game, so you are comparing apples to oranges.

watch what would happen should EJuke play that position.

we are wasting our time with this clown manager.

Talk true Ejuke has great ability running with the ball but it was pretty much the same lack of quality end product, he had chances to slip in Osimhen but he was head down run run run…anyways I’d still take Ejuke anyday over Musa. Hopefully we can get him to look for other players at times.

[Cellular]

What a selfish git. Skilled but selfish.

You don't know ball, Osimhen was offside

Yeah he was. But Ejuke like JJ before him hugs the ball with his dribbles causing his teammates to drift offside.
Must be a frustrating teammate.

[airwolex]

I get why coaches pick Simon. Very disciplined performance. Perfect for a wingback.

This man, you sabi bolu

I alwayd liked him

[maceo4]

this game could have been 5-0.

Osimehn was very wasteful.

Did I miss something? I only saw one real miss by Osimhen, which are the other ones that would have led to 5-0?

[deanotito]

Ejuke is going to divide opinion. That's what players like him do. He may also not be a very popular figure among his teammates, but for my money, the coach needs to protect his place and keep him in the team.

Should he always start? I think he's one good developmental season away from being ready for primetime. BUT the boy is goooooddd. What he has, you cannot learn if you ain't got it already. He will cause debates, etc. He's an excellent talent

[tedder89]

We top the group and look well placed to progress
3 points, any which way

2 nil victory. Not shabby.

[elerineye]

We are not an elite African team anymore with Coach Rorh. No style, and even the tactic is suspect. The players are there, but the team play leaves a lot to be desired.

So painful to watch.

[Gotti]

WELL DONE LADS...

[Enyi]

This guy again!! Look at your mate. He is free. You did well to draw the defender to you. Selfish git!!

Like I said with Napoli, Osimehn needs to improve his movement, sometimes he is too static, just waiting for the ball.

Nothing to do with Osimhen, Ejuke needs to learn to pass the ball..... I dont see him creating chances for his clubside but Osimhen is scoring goals....

don't twist the facts to suit your point....

[vancity eagle]

look at all the chances Ejuke is creating.

Did Ejuke not play the whole match in Nigeria? How many did he create?

...too many short-sighted folks. He forgot Ejuke just came late taking on tired defenders.

Oh shut up.

Did Ejuke not do the same when he started against Cape Verde.

He created the only chance in the last match.

How did Musa do ? How many goals ? How many assists ? How many chances created ? How many passes completed ?

[lacidi]

This team is poor. We need a new coach with radical new ideas. There’s simply nothing awe inspiring about the way we play.

Continue blaming the coach when you have sub standard eggs. This match - what I have seen is poor decisions from the forwards.

I guess Mali and the rest have wonderful forwards. Suddenly forwards who are playing in the top European leagues are now poor. Well we can guess why they are poor

[deanotito]

This man, you sabi bolu

I alwayd liked him

Yimu. Wingback, you guys can have him if you like. But as an attacking player/winger? He's a complete zero. Cannot run fast, cannot cross, cannot cut in, cannot dribble, cannot score. All he has is effort.

His comment isn’t really about Ejuke. It’s a dig at Musa. Ejuke is just a vehicle for the anti-Musa rhetoric.

For most of the time Ejuke was on, he wasn’t playing the same role Musa was playing. He was playing in a withdrawn striker role. If you want to compare Ejuke’s impact with anyone, it would be Nacho.

But of course if you’re just trying to pile on Musa, you’re gonna use Ejuke or anyone else to help make your point.
