Reacting, some Nigerians expressed disappointment over the Super Eagles’ display against Guinea-Bissau, while others criticised some of the players.
Here are some reactions gathered by DAILY POST on X:
@akwaibomdaily, “The only serious footballer in the Super Eagles is Bassey. Nwabali, Bruno, Moses and Ajayi are very unserious players.”
@_AbiolaPharays, “It is the duty of the Super Eagles to always make us sad.
It isn’t time to bring our calculators out because there are still matches to play.”
@Habatovation1, “It’s not by FIFA ranking but by quality football.
Again, this is to remind you that the current Super Eagles can’t produce anything. Super chicken.”
@BukolaOfGod, “Super Eagles have some of the best players in the top leagues in the world, yet they always perform woefully when it comes to playing for Nigeria. What exactly is going on?”
@akwaibomdaily, “The Super Eagles coaches should start playing Nwabali from the bench. We’ve had enough.”
@Elishama, “The Super Eagles are a total disgrace.”
@Trinityter77, “Stanley Nwabali should never be called to the national team again after this match vs Guinea Bissau.”
@GodwinsOE, “We need to have a serious Ademola Lookman discussion.
He has been poor for both club and country lately. At some point, we need to stop making excuses and address his performances.”
@sportingshina, “Most times, Super Eagles coaches take the blame for poor performances, but I think it’s high time the players were held accountable too for consistently failing to give their best in national colours.”
@sorungbefaith, “Eric Chelle trusting players because they started his tenure will cost him his job. I have always said Bright Osayi Samuel, Bruno Onyemachi, Ndidi, Akor Adams, Arokodare, Chukwueze and Nwabali have no place in the Super Eagles squad.”
