Who was at fault for that goal ?

[Lolly]

IMO, the best Nigerian central defenders are Igoh Ogbu and Gabe Osho, and it’s ironic that they’re not involved with the SE and unlikely to be selected for AFCON

Ogbu’s omission I can’t understand, but Osho is only just popping up on the radar and there will be many like me who would rather watch for now because he hasn’t stood out as far as I am concerned.

How else can Osho stand out after keeping Salah and Rashford quiet in successive matches?

It takes more than two matches to fully assess a player. The same Luton has been chopping goals before their last two games.

This is how we start to call players world class after a couple of games. Boniface, Moffi, Orban are typical examples. Very average players who flatter to deceive.

He was injured in the earlier part of the season and has only played in Luton’s last 3 matches and played the full 90 minutes in the last two matches. His presence has stabilised the Luton Town defence and he’s much better than Bassey, who plays in the same league

Too early to conclude but I like what I have been seeing in Bassey this season for club and country

2 or 3 days together doesn't gel a team, especially when they are foreign based looking to show off what they brought back from abroad to hungry folks at home.
Note, you saw how that local base goalie was snubbed at the training facility gate, if na a foreign based player no be siren and police go dey wail all the way in.

You seem so preoccupied with this local vs foreign players fallacy.
It makes no sense.
Why don’t we just load up the bulk of our ‘hungry’ CHAN team if it was so straightforward?
Stick Osimhen and Boni up front and leave the rest to God.

Oh wait!……

You realize this site is dedicated to the support of the same Nigeria football, right? I am just wondering, what's the rational for making the announcement here when Ghanaweb would have been the perfect platform for such announcement. Just saying...

I lost interest in Nigeria football years ago, hardly follow our players and can hardly name seven starters. Gave up since we sacked Siasia years ago.
A country that fields Uzoho, Ajayi has no business at the World Cup. Iwobi is not a center midfielder and Onyeka although not good enough being a lone defensive midfielder what do you expect.

You can care about something, but be upset about how it is being managed.

That seems to be the case with SOMA, given that he names 4 players while making a random point in the next statement.

He may have lost hope, and maybe even 'interest' from a standpoint of positive emotions, but he still follows, and would be happy if things were much better.

He said lost hope years ago, I have no problem with that. I am just wondering his choice of platform to announce that on. That's like going to Mickie Ds and annoncing your disgust for fast foods.

Poor marking by out defenders. Can't blame Uzoho.

KPOM. This had nothing to do with Uzoho.

The guy who scored ran in from the 6.
Iheanacho was the one closest to him and should have picked him up when he made the run.
But it is a tale of how the players play when playing for the national team. Few of them have any sense of urgency. Starting with the guy who lost the ball in midfield non-challantly, that led to the sequence of dead ball situations for Lesotho.

It then goes back to coaching. If you don't pay attention to details and chastise them in practice about paying attention and about details, they will carry it into games.

Defending is not just about tactics or strategy but a willingness to do it. Don't mark space when you are not doing zonal marking. Watch the runner... pay attention to your surroundings. If as a professional you don't know these basic things, there's nothing a coach can do but to find someone who pays attention to such details.

[spastic]

While someone should have picked up the scorer who ghosted in from outside the 6 box, The goalkeeper's decision was insane.

He was standing in the 6-yard box before the corner, and as soon as the dead ball was kicked, he retreated back to the goal line. Had he stayed where he was, he would have easily tracked the ball down and saved it before it got to its final destination

Those saying can’t blame Uzoho are real dumb asssees; I guess you can’t blame chief of defense staff for any fiasco caused by his military. You can’t blame the coach for his players ineptitude either.
Uzoho is responsible for organizing his defense is a corner kick and spotting any danger before the ball is kicked. Uzoho isn’t capable of that job position. He has failed us over and over. That one Ivorian keeper we beat to win Afcon failed civ over and over regardless and was booted eventually

Well I'm not surprised it was Lazy man Kels.

The laziest most useless "big man football" player on the pitch.

The sooner we get rid of this guy the better.

His occasional goal here and there does not hide the fact that he leaves us minus 1.

Playing him on the wings is even dumber.
