'Our football has gone from top to bottom - Fans blast Super Eagles after loss to Portugal

The Selecao proved to be too much to handle, but fans believe they could have done better

Fans have taken to social media to lash out at the Super Eagles after their disappointing 4-0 loss to Portugal on Thursday.

Nigeria played Portugal at the Estadio Jose Alvalade in what was a preparatory fixture for the Selecao ahead of the Mundial that begins on the 20th of November.

The Super Eagles were expected to put up a good fight against a Portuguese side that did not have Cristiano Ronaldo. However, they flattered to deceive.

Nigeria’s play was mostly disjointed, they offered very little in attack, and they were dominated in midfield. Bruno Fernandes scored a first-half brace to give Portugal a comfortable cushion.

Emmanuel Dennis had a chance to put some respect on the scoreline, but he fluffed his lines from the penalty spot.

Two late goals from Joao Mario and Goncalo Ramos ensured that Portugal picked up a deserved 4-0 victory.

Fans took to social media to share their displeasure with the result.

iSlimfit: "When will the Super Eagles of Nigeria be great again? Our football has gone from top to bottom."

ChivicOnyebuchi": "Everything has fallen apart and just in football but we will be back soon"

IamAristocrat: "I don't understand where the faults are coming from
Is it from the coaching crew or the players or from the NFF president?"

ColinUdoh: "Clearly, we can now see why Rohr kept Emmanuel Dennis at arms length. That Nigeria continues to call him up after his pre-Afcon shenanigans shows why our team is in this deep a hole"

isaacmabum: "A Nigerian coach should take charge of the Super Eagles let's learn from Senegal and Tunisia. For a foreign coach the money is all he is here for."
