Coach Shaibu Amodu's poor coaching and tactics
Osaze hustled all game long
Yakubu none factor
Rabiu Ibrahim needs to called up for National duty
Coach Shaibu needs to get an offensive midfielder ASAP -Now-Haba
Mozambique players took advantage of Nigeria on the counter attack
Starting an unfit Yakubu over Obafemi Martins
Nigerian needs to win the last game versus Kenya and Tunisia lose or draw against Mozambique

Nigeria 2010 World Cup fate in the hands of Mozambique

Players Rating

Vincent Enyeama : 6.0

Rarely got tested all day
Needs to take charge over his back four

Uwa Echiejile: 6.0

Had a great day in the office

Obinna Nwaneri : 5.5

He was phenomenal playing Central Defender- gave away some passes at Right Back position

Yobo : 5.5

Tough to beat one on one but prone to mistakes. Made 2 costly ones today. One led to the shot that hit the bar, the other Olofinjana saved the shot after yobo's poor clearance that went ten yards. But overall he was stellar

Olofinjana : 5.5

Ok performance after his rows of poor games

Yusuf Mohammed : 5.0

Ok but he is no odiah , just not as skilled going forward
Shaky at times on defence

Ajilore Oluwafemi: 6.0

He was comfortable going forward in a make shift role
Had a shot on goal

Osaze : 8.0

Tremendous work rate.
Hustled all game long
Game of his life - he refused to lose

Yakubu : 3.5

The only player I wasn't really happy about in terms of selection. And his rust showed. Just didn' do much right, and his removal was a happy sight
Needs to be fully fit before getting recalled for Super Eagles

Michael Eneramo: 5.0

Worked hard, had a few successes, was unlucky a couple of times and one time his cross almost got to Osaze for a tap in
Played a good 1-2 with Osaze for the goal and was creative when he got the ball

Nsofor : 5.5

Hustler
Peovided the assist to the second goal

Enemaro : 5.5 -

Gave us a different outlet as soon as he came on, almost scored a header as soon as he came on.
Scored the second goal
needs to be started in the next game

Substitutions

Shittu : 6.0-

Did his thing - brought additional fire and no nonsense to the back line.

Obafemi Martins : 5.5-

He is a better sub than starter

Nsofor : 6.5

Super Sub of the year
