Here are the five things we learnt during Super Eagles win over the Crocodiles

1. A more organized side

The Super Eagles were organized in all departments of the game and it was hard to pick players who made mistakes.

The transition from defence to attack showed the attacking intent of the team which forced their opponents to defend in most parts of the game.

The boys played for each other and had everyone covering their lapses when possession is lost.

2. Team work and team spirit

Rohr's men showed no form of individuality or played selfishly. The way the three goals were scored was evident that everyone was a team player.

Kelechi Iheanacho and Samuel Chukuweze, Alex Iwobi made several telling passes to Victor Osimhen and the assist to Ogehenkaro Etebo's goal the Napoli striker who was in a better position to score also returned the favour.

Players on the bench celebrating with those on the pitch is also a clear sign that there was unity in the team.

3. Selection headache for Rohr

As it stands, only a few players are assured of wearing the green and white jersey every time the group gather to play an international game.

Every position has two to three players jostling for a starting shirt which shows that the team will not miss any player not on duty.

The defence, wing-backs, midfield and attack are loaded and players who did not make the trip for qualifiers would face stiffer competition.

4. Using Onuachu as the joker may not last long

Despite scoring in two consecutive matches as a substitute, Paul Onuachu will not be satisfied starting every game from the bench.

On the other hand, the Genk striker might also not be able to displace the more flexible Osimhen and Iheanacho but if he continues to perform excellently as a supersub, Rohr will have to make difficult decision.
