USA vs Nigeria (4-0)

[greg]

I know this is NOT going to end well for us. We can't let them camp on our end of filed and escape conceding goals. At this point, of what benefit is this match? What are we gaining from it?

Agreed. Unless it's to keep deceiving the world that we are rubbish then surprise them come WC. I wish

[ahidjo2]

We are just filled with mediocre players and a coach that has a poor system of scouting players. This is embarrassing.

There’s always a benefit, if even to permanently rule out certain players and blood others
But entertaining you is not exactly a priority bro.
Sorry.

Yeah, but even as you stated, we should be able to give a GOOD account of ourselves as a team. Imagine being down by three goals in the first half only. If it continues like this, it means we will lose by five goals, at least.

I wish same, bro.

The much ballyhooed Falconet Deborah Abiodun hasn’t stepped up. Nevertheless, I’d like to see Esther Onyenezide give a run out


Cheers.

What value is Waldrum adding to this team? Why are we paying hard currency for this crap?

I also want to know why the coach is playing players out of their natural positions, if what was rumored of him is true

[Gotti]

Are you aware that Nigeria is missing six starters and therefore, have to play people out of position? Try to be a little more intelligent in your inputs to discussions. Doesn’t hurt to do a little research

Are you alright my guy? I don’t mind the coach but the coach hasn’t used a natural right back or left back even when they were at full strength. Alozie is used as a RB and Plumtree as a LB. Why not play the LB that played at the U-20 WC?

You thoroughly lack realism. You are refusing to acknowledge the obvious; that we are vastly undermanned. See how easily the US is overrunning the defense from the flanks; and you want to to try the u-20 LB. Let me redirect your question right back to you. Are you alright

TONYTHETIGER, abeg quit making these irritating excuses…

As has been pointed out by others, Coach Randy has ALWAYS played Alozie at RB irregardless. In fact, that’s the ONLY position (perhaps she played as an emergency LB on the odd occasion) she’s ever played for the Falcons, and she has been CONSISTENTLY weak and exposed defensively in that position. Reality is that even with the unavailability of several players, it should be possible to MINIMIZE Alozie’s defensive weakness by resorting instead to a back-three formation, with Ohale, G. Ogbonna and A. Ogbonna/Demehin as the three CBs, while deploying Alozie and Toni Payne (both of whom are better going forward than defensively, albeit Payne does put in a more decent defensive shift) as wingbacks.

I continue to try to give Coach Randy the benefit of the doubt, but his VILLAGE GAMESMASTER tactics keeps letting him down.

[lacidi]

This is just ridiculous.

[packerland]

Alozie scored last weekend for Houston Dash. However the coach continues to play her as a full back..Alozie is not a good full back. Very weak defensively

TTK or ITK,

As if I didn’t know already, I heard you for the 100th time that they are missing a lot of players mostly in the midfield and one central defender.

I expected them to lose big which is why I said before the game started that this feels like a massacre. What you fail to understand is that teams have continuously attacked us in the wings even when we were at full strength because the coach we have a couple offensive starters being asked to play on defense and it is not due to unavailability of players.

So, if the result would’ve been the same, why not put a natural back and let them gain experience? Do you need me to explain it to you again in Braille?

[Tobi17]

This is a joke

[bushboy]

The day "coach" Randy was hired and I looked at his resume on wiki, I knew instantly we were being sold a bill of goods. I have been proven right ever since. This team has regressed terribly under his tutelage.

[Odas]

This is just ridiculous.

... and irritating

Abegi put a sock in it…

She’s run herself into the ground on her senior debut as your Village Gamesmaster coach deployed 2 true midfielders (plus Ajibade, playing with a bandaged thigh) against a swarming and rampant US midfield. SMH

[Bigpokey24]

Now the clueless coach has decided to play Alozie upfront

[Odas]

Only a few minutes into the second half and we are down by four goals. Isn't this a disgrace? It might even be six goals to none against us - at the end - as things are going

[packerland]

They might add 3 more with these fresh subs.

I really do not know what you guys were expecting. We can with a severely depleted squad with a lot of green horns with very little preparation playing the WORLD CHAMPIONS! There's no magic to winning. A defence with Ohale and Ogbonna will leak a lot of goals mainly due to Ogbonna's lack of awareness. We are missing Onome & Plumptre massively for games like this.

Well, perhaps you are correct, but not to lose with this goal-margin and probably more at the end. It's irritating to me and perhaps to many other fans/Nigerians.

Be quiet. She didn’t measure up, plain and simple. Maybe she just had a bad day but you with your rather obvious agenda, will choose to blame Waldrum. Blame him all you want but the SuperFalcons have been playing better since she departed
