Zambia are being undone again by Madugu’s long ball strategy, just like last year. Oshoala’s blistering pace is tearing Zambia defence apart.
Fair enough
I respect your opinion Deo, but we stopped her last time without having to get a red card. She wasn’t t even much of a threat in that match after her initial gra gra. Our girls have played well tonight,but several 9f their passes are still overhit and sometimes directly into the legs of the opponent.
Tank yuh @deo, I haf bin saying dis ting for a fery long times.
Eet ees real a fery big disgraced in Africa dat the footbal authority ees allowed mens to be playing against womens. first ees Malayi an now Zambia, ees just robbish! de rest of Africa needed to complianed about dis nonsese!
See how dat man Banda or wat kick dat Nigeria girl defenders in she face? Shior!
You gather liver, gather mind to dey answer DEO, the same name as the Almighty God?
You? Iwo ke? Le nue? You no dey fear?
My guy, stay in ya lane, iwatago? Stay in ya lane!
I dont efen knew ees dat is a joke or wat, but pls be mindful of blasphemy abeg, dont called a mens God, no mata eef ees a jokes or nt
Pls wat ees Oshoala stii doing on de pitch, ah, she don get she gaol so took her off becos she is not doing anyting on de piych at all!
Someone needs to explain why Christy Ucheibe and Deborah Abiodun didn’t start against Malawi. Didn’t the coach study the opposition? Or did he somehow miss that facing the Chawinga sisters required our toughest defensive midfielders? Those two are built more like male stock than female. Physicality was always going to be key.
Today, it was the combination of Demehin, Ohale, Ucheibe and Abiodun that completely neutralised Zambia’s attack and kept Barbra Banda quiet for long spells. That’s exactly the kind of steel we lacked against Malawi.
This is why I struggle to rate Madugu. If he’s still in charge at the World Cup, I’m afraid we’ll be heading home after three matches. His team lacks cohesion, relies too much on hopeful long balls and aimless clearances, and rarely looks tactically organised. The NFF also deserves blame for the poor preparation. Too few quality friendlies, and it showed in the team’s performances.
