(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Former Nigeria international, Julius Aghahowa, has berated Super Eagles players and their coaches.

The former Super Eagles striker was angered by the team’s performance in their shocking 1-1 draw with Cape Verde in Lagos on Tuesday.

“If you talk of the players, the talents are there, the players have the capabilities but we are not having the coach to bring out the best in these players,” Aghahowa told SuperSport’s Naija Made.

“I saw a couple of players that were not supposed to be in that team that day.

“We don’t have a playmaker. I think somebody was wearing the playmaker’s number, 10, but when you saw the play he could not carry the ball, to drive with the ball, and go and meet your opponents before releasing the pass.

“You are giving a pass when there is no one marking you so how do we progress from this pattern of football that we are playing. I don’t think that we can move forward like this?”
