Nigeria 0-1 Cameroon: What did we learn?

The Super Eagles&nbsp;were beaten by the Central African nation after an Andre Zambo Anguissa strike in the opening half settled proceedings in Austria.
A weakened Nigeria side fell to a first defeat since losing by the same score to African champions Algeria in a friendly in early October.

What caught the eye in a defeat that ended the West Africans’ three-game unbeaten run against the Indomitable Lions?

Nigeria 0-1 Cameroon

Maybe this will change in the next fixture but none of the German’s selections were surprising in any sense.
He had promised to try out new players but, with the exception of Terem Moffi, none of the debutants or inexperienced stars got significant minutes.

If it’s largely the same in a few days, Nigerians won't hesitate to reveal their displeasure.

Gernot Rohr fails to experiment

Given that Paul Onuachu was one of the last players to arrive in Austria, perhaps the Genk forward should have sat out Friday’s encounter.
Moffi’s form and effectiveness at Lorient was one of the highlights in the just-concluded campaign for Nigerians, who hoped he would get a start against the Indomitable Lions.

Maybe he plays from the off when they face off again on June 8.

Terem Moffi deserved a start

Despite the rather laboured football on display at times, the three-time African champions deserved something from the game after going behind.
They forced Simon Omossola into a few decent saves and Moses Simon could only blaze over after the ball dropped to him around the six-yard box.

While the affair was seemingly low-key, losing is never acceptable.

Rohr’s team deserved an equaliser

His second season at Everton ended inconspicuously and the playmaker looked to carry that into Friday’s game.
The majority of the things he attempted failed to come off and it was a frustrating night for the ex-Arsenal attacking midfielder.

Rohr needs the 25-year-old at his best if Nigeria hope to start the qualifying campaign on a positive note.

What is wrong with Alex Iwobi?

Despite the continued criticism of the style, Friday’s showing needs the necessary context.
The majority of players in the team had returned to Nigeria after the completion of their domestic campaigns and had to fly to Austria, which probably took a toll.

Injuries to key players and their subsequent withdrawals likely led to Rohr opting for an XI that he knows and is familiar with.

Having said that, the line-up on June 8 will make for interesting viewing.
