Moses Simon is useless. We've known this for a while.

Etebo. How can he be getting called ahead of Yusuf, Nwakali, Ejaria etc.

Ndidi may be done.

Chukwueze I'm almost ready to give up on.

Aribo looked lost.

The whole team was sluggish.

Why is Iwobi always so far back ? This team will not succeed with Iwobi playing a defacto DM.

Osay Samuel I think was good. He is here to stay.

Not sure about Bassey at LB anymore

But guys make no mistake, this is a very good team we played. Possible WC winners. We have to be on for 90 plus minutes.

If only they worked...

Not the scoreline, but the performance.
Portugal are one of the contenders for the WC for a reason and this is Peseiro's 2nd real game...

But the organization of the team? Whatever he may have planned ahead of the game, this was a team bereft of organization; not in attack; especially not in defensive transitions. At times it was as wide open as a hawker on Ayillara Street!

In a 4-3-3 with Ndidi as anchor he offered less than zero.
Gave his manager less than hot air.
The work rate of the entire team put together, could hardly match that of Otavio alone!

Peseiro needs to be absolutely ruthless or he will fail.
This business of wasting spots on the team for the benefit of agency deals needs to end...

Nigeria is not just unprofessional off the field, but on the field the players leave their professionalism behind in Europe on return to play for Nigeria. Even the late Keshi spoke about this back in his playing days.

If Peseiro wants to succeed, he must take the matchete and cut through the dross that goes all the way back more than 10yrs...

I didn't expect us to win; but not this kind of performance...

Now we are left with the look on a coach as the positive from a game!

I still remember when Berti Stash was seen as the BEST because of the massage and clean shirts.

The look on the coach???

Wanaho.

I told you more than 5yrs ago that you are semi literate.

You apparently do not understand use of metaphors...

Nwakali and Co won’t be an upgrade and if he is then they need to look harde.

If that was the case he was not match fit neither was Ndidi or Etebo. It then begs the question why call up so few midfield players? Why the rush to call up players returning from injury? and why play injured players?

I now think this team needs a midfield over haul. Raphael Onyedika has champions league experience and can replace a recovering Ndidi. Kelechi Nwakali can replace a recovering Etebo.

I don’t think Bassey should have featured in yesterday’s game and he should not be playing LB because he doesn’t understand the role and left gaps in the defence (no one covered when he ventured forward).

Why do we play with two wingers none of whom feed the striker? The only winger we have had that provided assists to our strikers was Samuel Kalu (who is currently unfit).

I don’t think playing a right footed winger on the left has worked for us. We need somebody else on the left Simon Moses is not the answer.

Some people are calling for Eze the same clamor was made for Lukemon (who has been very ordinary in GWG).

To be honest I did not have any issues with the squad selection. However I knew we would struggle upfront if Moffi led the attack (good player but not international level yet) his replacement Onauchu needs service how many crossed did either Samu or Moses provide? Even from free kicks it was a problem.
A gassed out Bassey in the second half delivered crosses to nobody on the box.

The new right back gave away a pen and I thought it was a pen having seen it on replay. He played well as did Akpoguma. I am not sure about Iwobi’s free role,it just seems he is running all over the place. That midfield needed ball winners and ball handlers.Somebody needs to take the number 10 shirt away from Aribo.
