DESPITE the team's 6-1 comprehensive win over the Lone Star of Liberia, ex international,Folorunsho Okenla said the Nigerian team needs more bite ahead of next January's Afcon in South Africa.
Making a post match comments, Okenla said the encounter opened up glaring areas coachStephen Keshi must strengthen if his side willmake a strong impact at the Nations Cup.
"Congratulations to Keshi, the Eagles and Nigerians as we've crossed safely to South Africa 2013 game.
"It's a fine game, a high goal margin compared with what we've seen in the past games.
"However, it's not yet uhuru, not time to indulge in wide and excessive celebrations but actually time to work on the team and thetime to start is right now.
"The team is still a wasteful side despite the massive win, Liberia didn't give a tough challenge.
"South Africa 2013 will be tough and if our intention is to challenge for the title then we must grab the wonderful opportunity this game has thrown up at us to look at some players all over and make amends.
"Majority of the players in this encounter need to buckle up their game. Seriousness must be the watchword for the players irrespective of what the scoreline is, they must be on top of their game and avoid complacency which is obvious in this game."
Keshi fielded only two domestic players, Godfrey Oboabona and Azubuike Egwuekwe while leaving the other two on the bench.
They sure need more bite, even though they won by a wide margin, their game play was poor.
