Some? TheGoodJoe, we made a lot of wrong choices today.

Ndidi starting for this team is a travesty.

TheGoodJoe:
Tactically, the team is taking shape, especially our defensive tactics.

Chelle needs to work harder in his scouting. We need more fluidity in our midfield. They were times we made some wrong choices in the middle. We could be better.

Hanibal:
This Uyo stadium na bad luck abeg

Make we return to Abuja

That's that for the world cup.. We're out
Nor be say we wan go win am before sef
Abeg

2030 next

let’s return to Lagos if it was up to me. See y’all in 2030 if we qualify

For the goal, I hope Chelle sits down with the guys and review that goal. Watching out for spaces and defending it would have taking us home.

I was watching the Zimbabwean who gave the assist. He moved into that space and was not picked up.

And offensive press should have nullified that.

even with the 3 points deduction if SA does not slip, but we beat them away, there is still no guarantee

Kog45:
Just tell me the difference between Chelle and Finidi

We losing us down to the players
Just rest abeg

This match pain me die and I was suspecting it would be tough …Abeg dis set of players no deserve World Cup jare


As in d defence were literally watching the ball till Dey scored ….this is an eye sore

Samueltemi337:


Una don start
As usual

I called it even before the qualifiers, Ndidi's level dipped below SE quality even before the Afcon

Joebie:
na that point deduction dey give us small hope. if not, we for just kiss this WC goodbye

Most likely not happening. WC qualifers is a CAF tourney. If that CAF rule is correct, eh don be.

southern african teams are doing well now oo forget…they are tryin now

I just weak for body
We should just forget world cup

Abeg hope still dey na , South Africa we loose 3 points, problem is, can we win our remaining matches

Clint02:
To many missed chances

From the moment we started missing wave after wave of attacks, I knew we were toast.

Too many players played out of position

TheSuperNerd:
Some? TheGoodJoe, we made a lot of wrong choices today.

Ndidi starting for this team is a travesty.

When he missed that shot, I went ballistic. What is he doing up there? He should be helping the defense maintain shape. However, I ed from the 60th minute, so I am not in the position to be too critical.

Overhaul 60% of the squad

I said chelle no sabi manage game.. I complained about this in the past.. 1-0 could have been protected.

I go host nation USA and Brazil at the World Cup next year.

JohnBullMySon:

then why didn’t he play today? South Africa don loose 3 points forget am

Osayi cost us this match. Ekong was all covering his ass throughout.

This stadium excuse na naija way abeg. Bin its usage. If they can't get the job don within any 90mins, they should getat. 6points difference. They had 8mins to seal 2nd spot and it dies in 2mins? Shuuu.

zuchyblink:
Overhaul 60% of the squad

more like 90%. Aside Osimhen nobody else is indispensable in this squad

chuks404:
It may be the players oooo
Because even pep cannot do anything with these players

This is d point I always make anywhere but people always say I don't know wat I'm saying

zuchyblink:
Overhaul 60% of the squad

Ndidi no1
Osayi no2

If you are still hoping for qualification, just forget about. Its over. In fact I'm ing SA from now on. Na you know wetin you wan watch for WC with this mumu team

no it's FIFA

JohnBullMySon:

Samueltemi337:


No hope again
Forget about world cup

I swear. It's actually fúcking sad that we're relying on point deductions from South Africa to keep our WC dream alive.

The reason we couldn't push up a highline to suffocate the Zimbabweans after their equalizer was because Ekong was afraid of a run in behind him btw

by 2030 world cup, we will be looking for a new generation of strikers to replace 30yrs osimhen

yes, considering we didn't score early.. We would have saw the game off.

Subzerooo:


There is nothing that Chelle did wrong in this match, you want him to be defending a 1 nil lead against Zimbabwe?

We were making good defensive positioning towards the end. I still don't get how they just lost it at that period.

How the runner was not tracked too beats me.

TheGoodJoe:


When he missed that shot, I went ballistic. What is he doing up there? He should be helping the defense maintain shape. However, I ed from the 60th minute, so I am not in the position to be too critical.

He's the reason Iwobi tire own fast today. Iwobi was dropping deeper than he ought to and Ndidi was a mere minus 1 throughout. He was so eager to go forward than do his primary duty. Chelle saw him vs Rwanda and still felt he deserves a start is a real travesty

Osimhen and Lookman are the only ones deserving of a WC. Both are 26 and 27 now. Will miss the WC and would be 31 and 32 by then.

It is a shame that Africa's best striker in Particular doesn't get to play at the WC in his Prime.
