2dramasports.com Match Notes & Concerns about the Jamaica versus Nigeria encounter
- Coach Shaibu Amodu's management methods. Late Substitution Michael Eneramo
- We did not get a good look at Micheal Eneramo
- Super Eagles were lucky that Jamaica's striker Luton Shelton missed a great one on one chance
- Nigeria's Strikers could not convert any of their chances
- Coach Shaibu needs to get an offensive midfielder ASAP Kanu should not be used in Midfield too slow
- Nigeria defence was shaky as Jamaica made great runs into the defense on many occasions
- John Mikel Obi needs to learn how to shoot - terrible shooting
- Joseph Akpala was not used-He is currently having a great season for his club, Club Brugge (Belgium)
- The Super Eagles are yet to find a Danger Man like Samuel Eto for Cameroon or Didier Drogba, Ivory Coast
- See Press Conference Video above , i am not impressed at Shaibu Amodu's plans and game accessment
