SE 1 V MEXICO 2. FT

[Bigpokey24]

Good game so far. Pasero has a lot of work to do. That long ball options should be coached out ..that is what **** punished us with

[Odas]

The difference between Qatar bound and DNQ is clear to see. We are playing like we are in vacation mode already.

Come-on, bro. Don't go there, please

[bushboy]

Ajayi is not it. He can’t make a simple pass even when he isn’t under any pressure.

And Awaziem doesn’t look match fit.

He is not.

[maceo4]

Hopefully a better 2nd half, let’s see the local boys abeg

[jette1]

Not a single shot taken by Nigeria in 45 mins.

It’s the Jersey color according to demunk

[Tobi17]

Second half the likes of Bonke, Moses and Ajayi should be subbed out

[Damunk]

Ajayi is not it. He can’t make a simple pass even when he isn’t under any pressure.

And Awaziem doesn’t look match fit.

He has his Shriners.
I’m not one of them.

[Odas]

Hopefully a better 2nd half, let’s see the local boys abeg

I hope so as well

[bret- hart]

Pizzaro needs to start phasing out some of these bums. Starting with Ajayi and Moses.

[vancity eagle]

Not a single shot taken by Nigeria in 45 mins.

It's a common theme with us going back to Rohr post Covid.

[packerland]

Ajayi has been very poor even when not under pressure

That is Ajayi being himself. He’s a poor defender but a real goal threat to score from corner.

[Lolly]

I will judge the coach after the second game. He doesn’t really know our players yet. And the formation is new for most of the players. It’s a long time we have played 3-5-2. But in the first 30 minutes, we were really playing 5-3-2. The two wingbacks were in line with the 3 centre backs. Very strange.

Simon plays a lot better on the left.

Aina would have been a better fit for the right wingback.

He shouldn’t have started with 2 strikers.

[EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA]

HT 0-0

Relax people. This is game 1 post DNQ, we dug a deep hole and we won't climb out today. Mexico got a lucky though deserved goal but the team has adjusted and they've started to play well in the last 25mins.

Most of you have unrealistic expectations of SE. We're not a top team, not even close. What we're trying to do is build one. If you're looking for tiki taka you have a couple yrs to wait before we get there.

[Bigpokey24]

Zero shots from the SE in the first half

You are so clueless. So if Simon moves to the left , should Bassey now move to the right..think before your reply

[hestonap]

Nothing changes

1. Eagles are notoriously slow starters who are more likely than not let their opponents play their game
2. The extreme preference for backwarrds or sideways passes is annoying as ****
3. What is it with Simon and his allergy for delivering a quality final ball or cross
4. If we choose to play on the backfoot, why is our transition when the opportunity to counter so poor.

This has got to be the longest stretch of I am sorry to say unintelligent collection of players we have had, the past 10 years since the high of the ANC win has been painful to watch.

For those talking about a poor pitch, the Mexicans are playing on the same pitch O.

For those saying the Mexicans have tired, they made their running around count. They are a goal up and could have put more than 1 in. I am yet to see a clear cut Nigerian attempt.

We have 45 minutes to turn things around, but the same problems abound.

Good luck to the new coach, his work is well cut out for him.

[maceo4]

How many shots did we have all half? Lol

[truetalk]

At the game.

Not a bad performance so far given the circumstances and the squad available.

Calvin Bassey has looked good.

Uzoho as well.

The boys are obviously not as motivated , but are.putti g in a shift.

Great to see Dessers, Aribo & Bassey in the team after playing European finals a few.days.ago.

We haven't scored a goal in open play since we beat Guinea Bissau. Now 315 mins since our last goal.

[vancity eagle]

Don't know why we sat back and allowed Mexico at us for the first 15.

Players lack movement and seem tired.

WTF are we playing on artificial turf ? We should never settle for such matches.

Simon is a USELESS player. It appears I was vindicated in the end after his one flash in the pan at afcon.

No wonder we failed so bad when both Rohr and Egu made him such a key player.

Useless coaches.

All the above is what you are used to seeing; question is where did that take us. You want change yet here you are again demanding same old stuff that took you no where. Chei ! I tire for you people

And it begins

Moses might just be a Nantes player. He fooled us with his performance in AFCON group games.
