I think we have the most problem right now in the middle. We do not have an "attack" problem per se, we just do not have those in the middle who gives us the best advantage moving forward. Onumonu sadly had been the biggest victim as she's had to deal with playing out of position, having to drop too deep to get the balls for the most part and that's why most persons don't fancy her.

If we can sort out the challenge we have in the middle, we'll be a lot better.

The problem is finishing and defense.

Oshoala, Ajibade, Onumonu or Kanu would have finished at least 1 of the chances Gift Monday was missing.

In defense, the person playing RB didn't close down the winger and the other person playing RW ( I think it was Ordega) didn't track back to help the RB the way Ajibade was always tracking back and defending that wing.

Against Morocco it was the LW that didn't help the LB and the LB ( Ebi ) was too slow to defend against that player.

Then the GoalKeeper made errors against Morocco and Zambia so I think another young Keeper needs to be tested.

In summary,
SF need fast FullBacks on both wings who close down wingers without tackling them in order to prevent red cards.

SF needs another young keeper to keep Nnadozie on her toes.

SF needs to practice outside shots.

SF needs only Kanu, Oshoala, Onumonu to play as CF. Gift Monday finishing is poor hopefully she improves her finishing as she grows older.

Sebastian is a winger, she doesn't have the frame to play as the striker

Okay cool.

Sebastian is a goal scoring winger and SF needs goal scorers.

SF needs goal scoring forwards.
SF needs goal scoring midfielders.
SF needs goal scoring defenders.

The weird thing is the Men's also needs the same.

We need an attacking midfielder who is better than Okobi.
Okobi wasn't outright bad in this tournament though, she was way above Chikwelu.

Vicky Lopez I'm not sure she will play for us o.
I won't mind Rinsola, the rubbish Ordega and Vivian played yesterday was just nauseating..
I don't know Imran and Abiodun is an excellent addition.

What of Rosin Demehin? You think she is not ready sir?
What of Ariyo? Zogg?

Ordega has lost it... She's no longer as good as before... She and Rita should be excused from the team...As for Vivian, her game is too immature for my liking..she should be excused too.. Gift Monday has the talent,but she needs a lot of refining..she would make a good bench player...

IMO, I don't think we need too many new players in the team...Just a few more additions would do... Changing the team too much would affect chemistry..

It's not about been above another player it's about the result on the scoreboard.

Which other Young Goalkeeper do you think we have currently, only Onyinyechi Okeke comes close to contending with Nnadozie and she's taller than Nnadozie but she's still behind Nnadozie in the Pecking order,

Only Veteran Tochukwu Oluehi can challenge Nnadozie very well but she Fumbles when not expected..

This present U20 can't boost of any goalkeeper as good as Nnadozie..

Maybe we should put hope on this Present U17 goalies if not this U20 goalkeepers are far below Nnadozie, Okeke and Rita Akarekor level..

Sebastian is the direct replacement for Ordega

The SE and SF are both similar they both have bundles of individual talents and they are both poorly managed

We know Rohr ended badly, but pls he's wat way way ahead of Waldrum. Haba na.


Rohr had his own system, conservative though, and it worked but progression and tweaks, adjustments were his undoing.


With Randy, you can't even see any system at play. In fact, look at the style used in 2018 Wafcon and compare to this 2022. It's exactly the same. Randy na just handler extraordinaire. Rohr's style got the SE to the WC with games in hand. Rohr annihilated bitter rivals.


Randy rather face the media and accuse them of distractions, Asif he's coming to do one prime Conte or Klopp project.


Rohr will recognize a player is tired and do the necessary.


This Nuga Coach is down the ladder. He's by no means better than the local coaches. Mention them. Infact this is rather a deal he benefits from than SF benefitting from him. Cv don boost for him now. He can leave. They should get rid of him.

mostob:
yeah...don't know why she doesn't play freekick for us.

And she pack shot for leg,

GeneralDae:

Rafiat Imran is a natural left back for Rivers Angels.

Vivian Lopez wants to play for us because of her mum. Mummy's love.
You are right, I don't know if that's possible now because she's in the Spanish Youth Team, but she's one for us in the near future. She may not likely make it to the world cup with us, I agree.

Ordega for me, ever since leaving the U.S, seem to have lost her touch. Vivian Ikechuckwu like I said in my older post do not seem to be peaking from her brief form last year.

Demehin, Ariyo, Zogg, all not ready yet in my opinion.
I would need to see more of Demehin at the U20 World Cup.

I quite agree with you. August 10 is here already. Let's see what falconet have for us.

elyte89:



I don't really know much abt dis present team but dey re poorly coached... D team from d onset find it difficult to execute attacking moves successfully,their final third is not good at all.. Dey look clueless most times going forward.. If something is not done b4 going to d world cup,we wont escape d group stage,aside DT d coach is just anoda "rohr" in disguise,him no sabi shishi

The team is talented. Any team having the like of Otu, Ucheibe,Ayinde and Okobi in Midfield should be playing final. But the problem is who exactly can replace Walldrum?

isan:
If she can't compete in her natural role she should be dropped

How can she compete in her natural role when she is being played at RB? Alozie could have performed better than Ordega and Vivian yesterday.

So our senior teams did not win anything this year except for world cup qualification for falcons. NFF must invest in age grade football. They are the ones impressing.

Yewande Balogun should play one of the friendlies (full match) and let's see how good she is. I still think Oluehi is still good for a 3rd choice (or 2nd choice depending on Yewande). Another goalkeeper can also be invited for the friendlies. I'm more concerned about our defence. An injury to Ohale (God forbid) and we'll get exposed

I agree. Just 2 or 3 additions and we should be good to go. This current players are not bad, the management made them look bad.

How did I forget sef? Okobi was playing as an AM yesterday yet there was not a single through from her which is poor. We need another AM.

And she pack shot for leg,

I'm telling you. Not all goalkeeper will save that freekick.

correct

My overall assessment of the SF at the WAFCON is loads of talented players but poor coaching. I was a bit hesitant before, but after watching our performances not just in this tournament but other games we've played under Waldrum I don't think he's the right one for the team. Apart from the inability to pick out any discernible pattern I haven't detected any area in which the team has improved under him whether in defense, attack or midfield.

I would have been less critical if we didn't have any good players compared to others at the WAFCON but in most of the games I've watched I thought our level was a notch higher but the coaching left a lot to be desired.

Top women for Nigeria in this competition were Ajibade, Payne, Ucheibe, Ashleigh, Okobi and Ohale for me. Onomunu, Alozie, Ayinde and Nnadozie also tried but they need to work on their inconsistencies. Ordega really falled my hand even though I like her a lot. Onome has been a great servantb but age is beginning to tell. Monday Gift and Uchenna are ones for the future.

Don't know if much can still be salvaged for the future maybe a combination of Omagbemi and Devbebo could do the trick.

I think she's a better CM because of her ball retention skills. I have to say this is one of her better tournaments in a long while, but we still need a breakout creative midfield talent.

Okobi is the super falcons version of Etebo.. Holds on to the ball too much, poor decision making, poor at set pieces.. But she has a lot of stamina... It's not surprising she wasn't initially in the list of invited players ..

The emboldened makes me laugh. Rohr don’t do Sub till 75-80 minutes. We both know this. Nothing like player is tired, they’re both wack baami.

She was the one that trended months ago about being a bus driver in the UK. Surprised she's 35 (according to Wikipedia). She always sounded like she was mates with Akide and Omagbemi.

Also, you're almost tempted to think she wanted Nigeria to lose sometimes. Lol

etebo isn't poor with set pieces

He is... Out of the hundreds he has taken for the super eagles, only one has resulted in a goal...the one against Sao Tome...A few have been on target, but most have been wayward..

cause he has scored only one doesn't mean he is poor


many FK etebo has taken for the SE are actually fantastic


From the present SE players how many has scored directly from freekicks

mostob:
But the wing is jam-packed already. She should just stay where she is. Esther,Ajibade,Gift,Kanu, Ordega

She's not a natural fullback. A player's versatility shouldn't prevent a coach from utilizing that player in their original position except you want to under-utillize such a player.
