Nigeria/Çaykur Rizespor defender, Godfrey Oboabona has blamed Super Eagles loss to the USA to lack of communication on the pitch adding that those kind of goals have not be conceded by Nigeria in the last two years.

He told kickoffnigeria.com, “I think it was a lack of communication that led to the two goals. I am not the kind of player that criticizes another player because everybody makes mistakes and nobody is perfect but I think we will have to work and communicate well. I’m a bit disappointed but not too disappointed because the major purpose of being here is to identify our weaknesses.

The former Sunshine stars player continued, “It is better we lose today than get to the World Cup and lose. I think everybody has to learn from this. Individually, we have to fight, we have to work hard. When we lose the ball, we have to come back. We are not putting as much seriousness or commitment as we used to do before. But I believe from this game, from the next training, we will have to talk to ourselves so we know what we have to do.”
