I just saw a clip of Ndidi wasting a chance and the vex just rehook me.

semid4lyfe:


This is a gem of a post

Ndidi last good game for Nigeria was the AFCON 2019 Q/Final against South Africa.
Since then, his performance in our jersey has declined.

His absence due to injury at the last AFCON was a blessing in disguise because Alhassan Yusuf and later Frank Onyeka interpreted the DM role better and made us realize that they're an upgrade on him.

Truly, if Ndidi had been at the last AFCON, and was the starting DM, we may not have gotten to the finals

Many are mentioning names of players that failed yesterday but to me the person that should take 100% of the blame is the coach and his crew

Didn’t watch the game yesterday due to commitments but from the info I got after the game Chelle bleeped up big time

You desperately need a win which is 3 points which u were on the verge of getting but ignorantly threw that away. As a coach managing a team in such desperate position in the group what matters for now is winning your games but not destroying your opponents with mind blowing score lines like 3-0,4-0 etc, what matters most judging by the teams position in the group is winning as much as they can

When the team got the goal in the second half the ideal thing to do is sub in more bodies to the midfield and defence to protect the lead as well as hit the opponent on counter attack when there is opportunity for that

Chelle is a good tactician but the problem he has is he is desperate to impress his employers and super eagles fans by winning pretty with big goal margins forgetting that his major focus should be on getting 3 points in each game by hook or crook ie by any means

He is new to the job and it will take a bit of time for the players to adapt to his tactics and philosophy but till then he should focus on winning games in this ongoing WCQ series and pray that other teams in the group drop points

boss to be honest I don’t blame the players much but the NFF

U don’t wait till the last minute to fix big problems hoping that your contenders can easily be blown away. Baba national teams in Africa don wake up and the time we all as fans and the NFF understands this the better for us

I don put all these into consideration which made me not to bother myself much if the team qualifies or not because the mistake hv been made during the first and second stage of the qualifiers

Imagine gaining only 3 points from your first 4 games and u re expecting your opponents not to tighten up in order to maintain their edge/advantage over you?

We really need to start been realistic

I saw the highlight and to me the team wasn’t bad. The major mistake is from the coach who did nothing to protect the lead as well

Common sense would hv made him know that after scoring that Zimbabwe will attack with all they have so the ideal thing to do is to make the midfield and defence more compact. I bet you that if he applied this tactics his team would have even easily scored more goals to win the game

From the lil I have seen in Chelle I like him but he is too eager to impress his employers and super eagles fans. He should learn to play dirty when required

Oga charles you be my man but this coach blame format don cast o e no Dey work again!

Which tactics remain make we Dey concede for 90th minute does the coach need to remind the players of the importance of the maximum 3 points? Abeg na we don blame paseiro, finidi, eguavoen all coaches them including nff. If a player is tired Shebi he can make signs to the coach to be substituted or kuku fall to the ground to waste time, Oga charles coach no follow for this one o

bro like I said I didn’t watch the game but info I got here was that after taking the lead our coach instead of adding more bodies to the midfield and defence he brought in more attackers

I will try to see if I can get the full game to watch it cus I’m free today

Elder, with all due respect visit an optician for new glasses.

Iwobi played well and delivered a masterclass of a performance yesterday. He did his job and that of Ndidi. He was always dropping deep to collect the ball from the defenders, a job which ordinarily Ndidi ought to have been doing.

Ndidi was the weak link in that midfield due to his poor positional awareness, lack of anticipation, poor ing, ball-carrying & advancing ability.

Removing Iwobi was a wrong call by the coach. Rather, Ndidi ought to have been removed for Alhassan Yusuf or Onyedika.

Pls dead this talk of home-based players. This foreign-based despite their disappointing results, I still believe are better than the home-based players.

No worry, CHAN no too far so we'll come back to ths issue of home-based players again.
Masterclass performance indeed....with due respect I need old glasses given by optician from any of your oldies.

Did I said home based players are better?

I'm not impressed with any of our players except Osimhen and Nwabali....yes I singled out Iwobi cuz am always expecting much from him, yesterday am not impressed

Na Ekong cause that goal,why couldn't he clear that ball bruhh. Captain for that matter.
Ekong and Nwabali should be blamed.
Osimhen has every RIGHT to be angry!
When he was leaving he gestured them to be careful( watch the clip) Especially Nwabali to open eye.
This was a 1-0 match. I saw it from the onset, unfortunately the defense went to sleep.

Zimbabwe knew keeping Osimhen out was difficult and played the game to cut him off but still scored from Aina assist...he got subbed off, Zimbabwe came out and had two chances,one hit the crossbars the other a goal.....I said it here the best of Ekong and Bassey is 3-5-2,but in 4-4-2 one of them need to sit out,with ball playing CB alongside Bassey you see the beast in him,though I rated him better than Ekong yesterday

Same here I went to pick my wife from work around the 80th min cos I was so confident 3 points was in the bag only to check my phone when I got home to see 1:1 the thing do me like film o. Away to Rwanda that is even high altitude we held them all through the second half to secure the 2-0 scorline. It was just sheer carelessness from the boys, same as the Rwanda game in uyo when they came from behind to win us 2-1 no wonder the Zimbabwe coach had the audacity to say if there was more time they would have won us yesterday. All games against SA, Rwanda and Zimbabwe in Uyo were all under different coaches but similar results, we should all note this before we turn on the coaches or nff

U need a win, got a goal around 70 minutes and still maintained a lean midfield of 2 men knowing too well that the opponent will try to push forward with all they hv to get an equalizer? This is the area I think Chelle got it wrong
