Just watched the game
The two home based lads Ishaq and Madu bossed that midfield, they played with a certain flair and confidence that I liked...against Ecuador they should get a run out.
A midfield of Aribo, Ishaq and Madu can be tried out

Re: Just watched the game
Now I know you didn't watch the match.
First off both players were only on for 9 minutes. Not exactly sure what you saw to proclaim "they bossed the midfield"
Also Ishaq did not play in midfield but on the wings.
the only guys that "bossed" anything, if we can even call it that were Iwobi, Aribo, Bassey. Thats it.
you are falling for the coordinated hype campaign.

Hang on… didn’t you say elsewhere that the Homebase’s project should be stopped now? I could be wrong…

The home-based players weren't bad but only Ishaq Rafiu stood out to me (he played on the right wing and not in midfield). The Chiamaka Madu that you are talking about almost gifted the Mexicans a 3rd goal.

Re: Just watched the game
Are you talking about the play where Ekong gave him a horrible pass? That’s not his fault, even Awaziem was yelling at Ekong to calm down and relax after that play. Wasn’t Madus fault at all, was a panicky pass from Ekong.

You could be right but that was not my observation. When I rewatch the match I'll look out for that.

Uncle try rewatching it with clear eye.

Re: Just watched the game
The wing positions can also be considered part of the midfield. In fact, the wing and wide players are often the main outlets for the central midfielders and the defense
Cheers.
Re: Just watched the game
LOL.
What a LIE.
I haven't rewatched the game yet. I will this evening. But from watching it live, the home based were complete TRASH.
The #7 who came on was LOST tactically. He was all over the place. Had a lot of hustle but was just not it technically and tactically. When we made more attacking subs and brought in more homebased players, we had no hope of snatching a draw. It was not a good display at all.

Every time this happens they hype their product to high heavens.
Remember Iwuala ?
Re: Just watched the game
I agree. Ishaq Kayode plays real Nigerian soccer. He's big, strong, can run, and keeps possession of the ball. That’s the Nigerian soccer I know from years ago.
Some of the new foreign-based Super Eagles of nowadays play like they're scared and they're not very creative.
Guys like Kayode, Ejuke, and Nwakali are needed in our team. Hopefully Kayode gets to start in our next friendly match.

Re: Just watched the game
The SuperEagles always look better to me upon watching a second time. Perhaps it’s the anxiety of not wanting them to lose that gives the first impression of a subpar performance. There are lots of things to work on, particularly in the midfield, like pressuring the ball and ball recovery. Despite some obvious lapses, we seemed more organized in defense and a little better at maintaining our defensive shape.
