To think this yeye page admin refuse to fix this shit since close to a week now is alarming. TF.
A very fine line up. I would have loved to see Iheanacho again in the starting 11 going by what he did against STP, but we need to see more of Boniface too, since this is just a friendly match. I wish the team a successful outing in Faro.
Link please
Any links to watch the match please

I think we have seen enough of ebueih and chukwueze, they don’t deserve to be in this squad, especially ebueih. We should have scored atleast 3 solid goals. We need Iheanacho and Osayi to come-in to the right flank.
Chukwueze and Lookman are 2 of the most USELESS “players” ever to don the SE shirt!
None of these 2 should ever play for us again – they are just not good enough, imagine the 4 open goals these two waste of spaces squandered??
This Pesseiro should know by now that none of these two guys should start for us again and he should sub them already for the second half
At best these 2 are permanently for the bench!
We definitely need Moses Simon and “any” other winger – Lookman or Chukwueze must not be allowed to continue squandering our chances!
These Super eagles players are very wasteful in front of the goal. Unbelievable the amount of chances wasted in the first half against Saudi Arabia by Ademola Lookman and Samuel Chukwueze in particular. Uzoho also saved Nigeria’s blushes with a fantastic save midway in the first half. Tyrone Ebuehi has not been particularly convincing either, and I think Nigeria will need a better player in that position instead of Tyrone Ebuehi. Thanks
Chukwueze, Lookman and Ebuehi are in no way anywhere near good enough for the SE and should never play for us again!
If Peseiro invites any of these useless waste of spaces again then he also does not deserve to manage the team. Period”!
Please just bring Moses Simon and who are the other wingers self??
Whoever they are, just bring them on because we have wasted enough goals with these useless players!
Quality team + average coach vs Average team + quality coach. Petrodollars talking. Who’ll carry the day?
The comments returned for a minute just now but then they disappeared again.
It seems the guys at CSN are trying to repair it – hey CSN guys – it worked just now, go back to whatever you did about 3 minutes ago!
The Super Eagles have wasted goal-scoring opportunities in the first half against Sadi Arabia. The biggest culprits in this regard were Ademola Lookman and Samuel Chukwueze. Goaltender Uzoho made a fantastic save midway in the first half to save Nigeria’s blushes. Also, not a very convincing performance by Tyronne Ebuehi at right back. He needs to improve or Nigeria will need to get better players for that position. Overall, the team needs to improve their conversion rate of scoring chances.
You are right General Boobs.

but in Arabic
The first Saudi Arabia goal was due to a big howler (miss) from Francis Uzoho. That ball should not have beaten a better goalkeeper. What a shame. Nigeria needs better goalkeepers.
For how long we gonna put up with this uzoho and GK issue for crying out loud? Look at the way ndidi look at him.
THIS IS NIGERIA! WE DON’T LIKE GAYS! arar kumbei watch out! damnation is on your sinful head!
WE DON’T LIKE UZOHO! STOP PLAYING LOOKMAN AND CHUKWUEZE! – hE WHO HAS AN EAR LET HIM HEAR WORD O!
HOW MANY TIMES MUST WE TELL THIS PASERIO THAT UZOHO IS A BASKET? THIS PROVES THAT PASERIO IS ALSO NOT A WASTE OF SPACE BECAUSE IF YOU CANNOT SEE THAT THIS UZOHO IS A WASTE THEN YOU ARE ALSO A WASTE!
SORRY PROVES THAT PASERIO IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH AND ALSO A WASTE OF SPACE! ANYONE WHO PUTS TRUST IN UZOHO IS A PROBLEM WE DO NOT NEED!¬
We don’t have a team but a bunch of players that just want to come and take money from Nigeria. They are selfish and not ready to take eagles to the next level. Chukwu and Ademola are both lazy and uninspiring. We don’t have midfield, and our defenders are jittery . OSI must have been frustrated by the poor performance of himself and the players that he intentionally substituted himself. Then the coach is fooling himself to think he wants to win the nation cup with all these attacking football. If we meet an organized team i bet it we will struggle throughout the match.
That Ndidi look at Uzoho, says it all.
WELL DONE OJARE BONIGOAL! GREAT PLAY AND ASSIST FROM IWOBI!
DESPITE UZOHO AND PASERIOS BEST EFFORTS TO MAKE THE SE LOSE – BONIGOAL DON CHOP GOAL! 1-1
GET IN!! SENIOR MAN NACHO DON PUFF GOAL O! 2-1 UP NIGERIA! UP SE!
Goalllllll buruku!!! Kelechi Iheanacho!!! But complex sports your site is not working properly. We can’t read any comments here since few days now.
please we need a goalkeeper ASAP, this Uzoho no be am at all
Bassey cost us this victory.Nigeria didn’t show maturity to manage a game just a minute to finish!It’s so painful because we deserve to win this one
Nigeria still don’t know how to kill a game… First Half we did nothing. I do not know if it’s just Peseiro’s lethargic tactics or a team that can’t do a clean job? We should have at least won the game… Aribo had to commit a needless foul in a dangerous area! I even think he, Aribo, has nothing else to offer that team… maybe replacing him with Fisayo Dele-Bashiru should even be the discussion now.
It’s official. We don’t have a goalkeeper. No thanks to Oliseh who forcefully retired Enyeama without a succession plan.
The first Saudi Arabia goal was due to a big howler (miss) from Francis Uzoho. That free kick should not have beaten a better goalkeeper. What a shame. Nigeria needs better goalkeepers. It appears Uzoho has problems with long-range shots and set pieces. The second Saudi goal in injury time would not have entered if the Nigerian defensive wall had been better organized. This reminds me of Riyad Mahrez’s goal against Nigeria two nations cups ago.
If Uzoho is the best we have then we are in a big shit!
We conceded a last minute equalizer. Osayi Samuel did better than Ebuehi. I think that side is between Osayi and Aina. Ebuehi is not what we need for physical AFCON football. Chukwueze should never start an important match for us again. Osimhen struggles against team that marks him tightly and doesn’t give him enough space to wreck havoc.
Our midfield need work. We look lost at times and it’s seems we leave too much space in the middle. A good team will exploit us in that midfield. My concern about a reliable goalkeeper rears its head again today. Uzoho has no reason not to punch that ball away from his goal. I understand the second goal it was a deflection, but that first goal is unacceptable. We have issues at goalkeeping period. Let’s hope they continue to gel in the next game and subsequent matches.
I think the biggest issue with the SE right now is playing without any intentional plan of control. The players seem to play in a gung ho manner without any seeming plan of picking moments or slowing down the game or preventing teams from getting into certain areas. Playing this way will likely not get us very far. It might get us past other Sub-Saharan countries but it will surely fall flat once we meet any other opposition.
CSN, one of the plugins on your WP dashboard is corrupted with a virus. Here’s what to do: CSN, one of the latest plugins you added on the WP site backend dashboard is corrupt or spoofed with a virus. Tell your web support guys to deactivate a plugin one at a time (Not all at once) and check the front end to see if things are normal. Reactivate and then deactivate the next and check again. That’s how you can detect the problem plugin and then delete it.
Peseiro watch yourself- no more Chukwuzeze,Lookman and definitely not Uzoho! A word is enough for the wise! We were still the better team and should have won that by like 5 goals to 1!
Ebuehi.lookman and chukwueze.is that what you play for your various clubs?if the Coach fails he should blame himself.it is clear iheanacho is now the most important player in our team.
I was very impressed with Victor Boniface
