Are my etes deceiving me, what kind of pitch is this? Wiw CAF are d most useless irganization ever, how can u take games to oitches kike these? Its amazing. CAF shior. How can u hold d ball in a pitch like dis? This will be kick and follow soccer.
See senior Africa NT football pitch nitori olorun? Look like all this team intentionally play Nigeria in worst stadium or what?
Guinea 1 9ja 0. Onyemaechi easily beaten
To think CAF approved of this pitch for a senior match ahhhh. I won’t blame the team if we fail to win this game seriously.
Femi even Mandela was enemy to Nigeria football so why are you surprised that Caf is bent on destroying Naija football???? All Na plan work!
If 9ja escape defeat in dis game mek we thank God as this is a rice farm. Fifa will never alliw games to be held in stadia like these. Its awful, Motsepe should be fired immediately. This is ridiculous. 9ja can’t string passes and they can’t be blamed honestly. They’ve resorted to playing long balls with the hope tgat Akor or Awoniyi can lmake something out of it. This is truly disgusting.
Stop playing Bassey as CB. Bassey is better as LB and drop Bruno who has refused to improve. Ben fredicks at CB is very solid, honestly at this rate some of us here has to go for our coaching licence and help this country before this politics driven savages destroy our nation. And to see Awoniyi starting tells you the dirty politics at play.
Akor Adams is trash so far. For 2 games now he has been anonymous.
What do you expect from a player who left Sevilla for Venezia with his eyes wide open?
Be like offside is allow in this game or what?
Yes, the pitch is horrible. Big shame to CAF,
But GB is playing well on this same pitch!
They look more dangerous, more composed, have more possession.
Upfront, we just don’t have that cutting edge.
We’re making GB look like PSG! Wetin dey sup?
Chelle has become corrupt else how do we explain playing Awoniyi in this qualifiers? And Bruno very disgusting choice at Lb. Nigeria football can drain and embarrass someone. To make matters worse only the top nation qualifies from this group.
I was also surprised to see Awoniyi in the starting lineup.
I hoped he will do well this time, but it’s the same old stuff.
45 mins, no meaningful impact.
He even missed a begging chance.
Honestly, I’m starting to think that asides maybe Iwobi, Osimhen, Bassey etc, most SE players are average. No member of this team has the speed of Musa, nor the predative instincts of Ighalo.
Iwobi has vision.
Osimhen has grit and will score with a half chance.
Bassey is solid in defence.
Musa is a superstar.
What exactly do you know any other player in this current SE for?
Ajayi and Bruno are not really for with all the wayward passes.
All this “Big Man”, “Millionaire Club” footballers will get us nowhere.
See the hunger and desire GB is showing. With far inferior players.
Our Unity Cup squad would have given GB more problems.
We need to stop playing big names.
Honestly, these guys have the next 45 mins to change the course of this game. If we lose, we need to go back to that Unity Cup squad. The formation and personnel worked for us. Zimbabwe and Jamaica that we flogged would have given GB a tougher time, even on this bad pitch.
Pompei, my broda i agreed regarding the GB team doing better, recall this is dia home and moreover they’ve been training on dis pitch (rice farm) for atleast since after dia match against Tanzania, so they’ve had ample time to get used to d pitch. See our boiz 1st touch na throw-in e dey go. U see d wan wen Onyeka try wan give 1 2 with Iwobi wen end for throwin? See how ball dey bounce like badketball for field. Our boiz can’t play our style of foitball for dis kind field my broda. If u bring almighty Spain or France come here dem go lose, i fot put moni for d bet walahi lol. This game is an eyesore to watch aswear. 3-4 long stretch for d field look like bare ground (clay). Like i said earlier, if u get a point from dis game, to me its a success.
The pitch is not the best but we should not cote poor pitch as the reason we are solely playing so badly… We have a lot of below average players in the team. In a serious African national team… Iwobi and Ndidi should no longer be out midfield generals or starters… they are both past their best in my opinion. We cannot boss midfield and they are both not good ball playing midfielders… I don’t think we would escape a loss in this game. Ajayi is also very bad… We need to get young players like Frederick, Akinsanmiro, Nnadi, Bewene and others into to the team and trust them. I think we have dipped badly and fallen into mediocrity again…
The Nigerian football authorities should wake up and speak for the team.Why should an international game be played in a pitch like this?
Obviously Guinea Bissau knows the pitch very well,it is a familiar terrain..
If na South Africa they play these teams for their house sey they no get pitch to play them… I just pity SE.
Awoniyi,Akor and Lookman should be substituted for Moses Simon,Arokodare because of his height then either Chukwueze or Usor
Very poor pitch. If SE see draew, they should just manage it….Seems the EQ Guinea are very used to.this their horrible field. Chelle shuld just bring in Simon, Moses Usor, Nwaiwu & Frederick then remove Adams or Awoniyi, Bruno, Osayi, Semi Ajayi. All those 4 players are terrible in this match
Simon doing well so far. Missed a good chance though.
If he can save us today, another 100 caps for him…hehehehe!
This coach must stop inviting out of form players. Akor is worse as well, are we sure this players are up to scratch in training? What is all this??? Bring on Tolu!!!!
Guinea 2 9ja 0
You say, Super Eagles, I say, Sitting Ducks.
Nigeria has corrupted Chelle else how do we explain this line up. Bruno Osayi Ndidi Awoniyi Akor even the Nsor was a fluke because he can not shoot with goal at mercy. Nigeria will miss Afcon eye go clear.
Osayi samuel anoda poor player. He got beaten so easily while Semi Ajayi was just ball watching the Guinean captain dance thru Osayi to place the ball beyond Nwabali. Game over
The finishing technique for their 2nd goal. You hardly see a Nigerian payer do that. Bad pitch regardless.
GB thoroughly deserve their lead, it must be said!
We’re making the GB coach look like he’s good enough to coach a top European club.
Eguavoen is smiling. Opportunity knocking?
Nawao
What to even say now am speechless at this point in time
Fellow forumite have said it all
2-0
Still not sure why Akor is still on dis pitch. Lookman has been poor, infact everyone except Bassey has been atrocious. They came to Bissau for pleasure not to play football. This is a disgrace of d highest order. No aggressivity (in d voice of Chelle). Wuth d way dis Guineans play, on a good pitch like Apkobio stadium, dem go knack 9ja ooo
If we loose this game by 2 goals wetin Caf go do us for the rest matches is just to hire assassin referees to aim Guinea to qualify. Eye go clear for Islamic replublic.
So Chelle is telling me he enjoyed watching akor so far in this game or what?
Was that not in d box? Wasn’t dat a penalty for 9ja? Akor was brought down in d box but the referee called it a freekick
Caf ref are anti Nigeria if we don’t score clean goal forget it. Most of our players invited here are off form but the coach called Them and bench inform players or reserve them for Russia friendly.
I clamoured for Iheanacho,when I saw Awoniyi on the list,I knew something bad going to happen..
Nigeria though are not known to win games consecutively in the qualifiers.We win one draw or lose another even in the days Yekini.
I mentioned Usor after our first game,aside the solo goal he scored,nothing spectacular about his game. Today he couldn’t bite was a waste having Chukwueze on the bench…
This super eagles is poor,very poor!And Lookman shouldn’t be starting games for Nigeria.He has lost form.Why was Otele not called up?
Nwabali should excuse us please, his defense don’t have trust in him, he is conceding much goals,
He was too casual and cost us at least 2 of the goals. At a point the camera panned to Akor complaining about his attitude.
Why is Chelle not confident in the young Okonkwo to man the post?
As for Awoniyi, he should just concentrate on club football. International football is not his thing.
Bruno lacks confidence. Bright is match rusty. Ajayi is unsure if himself, yet Chelle kept Frederick on the bench. We only had one defender, Bassey.
Slow, lethargic players with predictable moves and no one with a simple trickery like the Guineans. Only Usor and Bassey had speed while Iwobi was doiyall thr passes.
I think this result is a good thing.
It will force us to finally make some tough decisions.
Lots of players here are just not what we need.
Lookman for example needs to take a break. He needs to get back to form. His performances of late have been so poor. Even for Athletico Madrid.
Bassey should be the new captain. Let’s get some hungry, determined boys for him to lead.
The Russia game is now even more important. We need those players to show they are ready to step up!
Content creators and the media should also share part of the bllame.
They keep disturbing these boys. The time for training was so small, yet they keep harassing them for interviews and selfies. Boys that should be focused on the task at hand are distracted. We are seeing the result!
We are not saying content creators and the media should be banned, but they should be restricted and controlled.
You’ll see them all over the team asking silly questions like Who’s the funniest? Who’s the whatever? Osimhen never grants them interviews, though, cos that one nah serious man. I don’t think we have more than 4 or 5 truly quality players. All the rest are average.
We kuku no serious before.
I don taya.
I dey head back villa.
Make I go relax.
Super Eagles matter no go kill me!
GB 3 Nigeria 0
Woooooooow!
The funny team is, GB is not a strong team. They are mediocre.
We made them look so much better than they really are.
3-0 waoh
For Eric Chelle’s preferred football philosophy, he needs dogged midfielders. He is looking for the players to fight and win the ball back high up the pitch. He does not have the personnel to execute that game plan. Whay does he persist with it? Why does he not search for dogged midfielders? Ndidi, Iwobi, Lookman will not achieve this for him.
He should go back to the Mali team. They have midfielders in that mode in spades. This is the wrong fit.
I think our coach is overrated… His loyalty to certain players is just too bad. Bruno, Osayi, Ajayi, Ndidi, Iwobi, Chukwueze, Akor, Onyeka and Moses Simon should no longer either be invited or starters anymore… I believe Nigeria has far superior players abroad who may not necessarily be playing for big teams. This embarrassing result is a good wake up call for Mr. Diamond formation like say na wetin Spain the use beat everybody be that. Our coach has only one pattern… diamond formation that cannot dominate any average team in midfield. The players have also been brought to earth… Cant imagine we don’t even have decent fullbacks… So pathetic.
Las Las, na Osimhen go still come bail una out!
Ilenikena too don dey get injury for crucial game like him brother.
I’m just Happy say no be Okoye keep this match. Na today for be him last match for naija with wetin him go see from naija fans.
Osimhen, ilenikena, Orban and Azeez for next games. We move!
I’ve been saying it for a while now the coach is just average. We went back to the same old, tired legs that couldn’t qualify Nigeria for the World Cup. We saw the warning signs against DRC, and now we’ve repeated the same mistakes again.
The defenders were simply below average. Just imagine if we had quality right and left fullbacks with the pace, strength, and confidence of Bassey. Some of these players have simply not been good enough.
The midfield is another major problem. We don’t have enough pace, creativity, or intelligent players who can hold the ball, turn under pressure, drive forward, and pick the right passes. Too often, there are no ideas going forward, and even the passing and crossing have been disappointing.
There is a lot that needs to improve with this team.
May the Lord help Nigeria.
9ja should take solace in the fact dat our rival Ghana lost 4:2 against The Gambia at home lol.
