I confess that I was shocked when I saw that Nigeria was unable to beat South Africa. It was supposed that with the squad that Nigeria has, they would be able to qualify easily in this group. This raises the following question: could the problem not be with the coaches that Nigeria has hired? because in my opinion it seems that the Nigerian Football Federation should consider hiring a coach who has shown that he has managed to win many titles both nationally and internationally. Someone who knows Nigerian players well.
You shouldn't be surprised by all what you saw by the Super Eagles, to me the only player that didn't change or played different from what he normally plays in his club side was Lookman, he was the force of the attack and the Super Eagles needed like two of his kind in that team to continue to add pressure to the South Africa team. The boys was pretty poor in that encounter and we shouldn't blame the coach because he's not the problem but the players. I was seriously shouting out my voice due to how irritating I saw the Super Eagles played.
We're the gaint of Africa but one thing we should know is there are no underdogs any more, the smaller teams that we thought we can always beat right from the 90s are now growing, they are improving and we don't expect them to always receive the trashing of their lives from the Super Eagles.
As it is, we the Super Eagles are not improving at all and more things need to be done. Take a good look at how easy the game went for Benin, winning by 4 goals to nil and this was the same team [Lesotho] the Super Eagles will struggle with when they play again. And if you talk about hiring a new coach I'd say no because when they had a better coach they choose to let him go, talking about Gernot Rohr. He was doing well by changing the way the Eagles play but things didn't turn out how he expected.
