[WC2014] Nigeria 1-0 BIH: FT (Osaze)

[anointed]

To say Mikel has had a torrid first half is an understatement!!

Something is not right. It is shocking.

if people are still wondering why he is played as a dm, you all can see it there. i have been saying for ages he has no lungs , has nothing to do with training, kenyans did not train for the lungs they have to rule the marathon world. mikel plays slowly for a reason, he paces himself over 90 minutes, when he is forced to exert himself he gasses out. the heat is not helping either, mikel na ajebo

I guess there's no coach that knows a player more than Jose Mourinho. His decisions on Casillas, Pepe, Ramos etc are just spot on

[African Star]

The way i see it, Bosnia are playing a wide open game and leaving gaps at the back, this is the type of space Moses can thrive in if he is giving instructions to draw the players to him and releasing the ball to wide open players. He will do much better than Musa in this game because of his one on one skills.

Another thing the Bosnia weak side is always open for the switch but SE is not switching the ball from right to left effectively to isolate the Bosnia re but so far so good but they need to close down the middle of the defense and somebody has to close down that gecko guy.

[Mister Dolly]

I've said it before that Osaze is our best striker of the ball!!

Watching the replay of the disallowed Dzeko goal, Ambrose got lucky...his indecisiveness was responsible for Dzeko's chance....step up with your line..and if you're gonna go with the attacker freaking go!!

[ilovemaputo]

We need to shore up the midfield.

[juventuss]

Babatunde started well but he faded after 20mins. Onazi and Osaze are running around the middle covering for folks.

[Appitti]

What exactly is Mikel Obi still doing in the SE. The worst player so far. Slow and can't release ball for Christ sake. Always happy when movement intensity slows, and the next thing is to either pass sideways or backwards. Tufiakwa!! Fucckking annoying. Osaze for me is the best Nigerian player. Winning mentality always.

[YemiBrazil]

Keshi should know that Osaze is NOT a defender. Time and time again, he is the last person covering a flank while onya, Ambrose bolts up top. That will NOT work

I will slap the stupidity from your head ............King Osaze can play any position on earth

Zee, Osaze don become king for your mouth????

zee had a change of heart, as a true christian he has forgiven so that our father in heaven would also forgive him.

Which means e do Zee like film-trick in a positive way. Up Eagles!!!

Guys, be thankful for being on the side of luck today. It wasn't just the wrong offside. But on replays, the BiH defender was indeed clipped on the SE goal.

But, a team has to take what it can. The SE are playing a gritty and composed game overall. 3 points here should be enough to secure 2nd round passage.

I expect more Nigeria goals in the 2nd half. BiH is psychologically brittle. As we discussed, their outside can be beat for pace and power. Nigeria will finish them off in the 2nd half.

Cheers, Mate

why are we strolling or standing around for gods sake?!!!!! PRESS! MOVE!

Wetiiiiin?!

Body no be kpako o.

Look Ghana players,those guys run at you for 90 minutes

You got it spot on. The funny bit is we know these guys can do a better job of being more compact....there's so much space in defending and attacking. We need to tighten up.

Osas dey stroll, babatunde dey stroll, mikel dey stroll, onazi is left chasing people around alone, no be the way.

If we come back with this kain attitude for 2nd half, na nkechi soup we dey. Musa reminds me of the bad bits of tijani babangida, he dey run so fast sotay e no fiit connect with ball.

We can play better, we need to tighten up and show it!

I thought it was Yobo!

Yobo yelled at him later in the game for the same ish off of one of Djeko's headers...

[Tbite]

BTW has anyone seen that Mikel has turned conductor!

[bamenda boy]

Guys, what position does Babatunde play? He seems lost.

I saw that too. For a UCL player, who plays central defence in Europe, it's shocking he allowed Dzeko that much room.

[Coach]

If Obiesta emerges from the tunnel without a black eye, Keshi should never be forgiven.

[Rotoma]

Mickel nds to buckle up, he stands and look whenever he loose d ball, putting pressure on defence.

Egbon, you don talk am finish. Back in the days, I used to get mad at Mourinho for turning Mikel into a DM. But with time, I came to see that Mourinho put him in the best position to succeed. Mikel can not run around. He has no stamina at all. Mourinho converted him to a position where he has to do the least amount of running possible while still allowing him to contribute to the game.
The pace of this first half is too much for him. I have already seen him bending over and holding his knees. And this is just 1st half!

[ANC]

Musa our most dangerous player

Lol

He reminds me if Ozil ... another lazy, disinterested and under achieving turd

[tmex12]

Keshi needs to sub out Musa and Babatunde for Uchebo,Moses,and Nwofor...we need to attack

Internet coach.....Musas pace is causing Bosnia problem....why take that away.....

[9jaMan]

osaze made that goal look very easy. "pure quality"
