I believe I have agreed with you more times than I have not. In this one also, I do. These players have strengths and weaknesses. And that's Rohr's job to do. Studying them and bringing them together to work as a unit based on their qualities. No wonder it's called chemistry, because in actual Chemistry you have to mix substances at the right amounts to produce the desired result. Here, Rohr needs to improve. I personally think we need less individualized players in the team. For me, my forwards will have an above 70% success rate of completing a good pass to their fellow forwards. I will only allow one slot for an individualistic player. And he has to be very very very good, especially his finishing. Osihmen is warming up. Kelechi is already there. If Success can get back to his best. He would complete the perfect pair. Musa is good in his own right. He plays best as a 9. But not good enough as a 9. Sounds contradictory but true. Moses Simon should never start. I don't care about his trickery. we need delivery TheGoodJoe: 1 Like |

TheGoodJoe: thank you now you are seeing reasons with me. naturally Ndidi would sit for me obviously I would never trust Onazi anywhere around my box, but that's the problem. because of Onazi's limited passing range the coach is forced to let him sit and that spells doom. in all honesty my dream midfield trio would have Ndidi, Aluko and Mikel, the job description is already perfectly outlined between the three, Ndidi sits, Mikel plays the roaming style and Aluko as the amf. of Course Mikel with his experience will know that whenever youthful exuberance gets the better of Ndidi he should fall back instantly. Onazi just does not.cut it for me |

TheGoodJoe: I have watched people accuse you of constantly moving the goal posts changing the unit if measurement to suit the circumstances you portray. You do numerous U turns without restraint. I watched you go into a full blown discourse about world class and top class. And now you are calling a player who has played 45 minutes of football in a struggling relegation club in the Bundesliga and after a few minutes of playing football in a match for the SE that we lost on all fronts a STAR. I actually expected a lot more from you. 1 Like |

![]() Dudes are still blaming Onazi for the Midfield Disaster?! Can someone tell me the impact of Ndidi on the Pitch?! See..... we need to be objective to have a better analysis of this Team. Etebo should have partnered Onazi. He can run, strong and workaholic. Iwobi should have played 10. South Africa did their homework perfectly. They knew we may attack from the Flanks, thus shut it down. Etebo was so poor to make decisive passes and even miss a good Chance. Let's be sincere too, Rohr was lost in the Game. He made the wrong subs and couldn't right the Wrongs in the Tactics. He should have switched the Formation to 4 - 3 - 2 - 1. Bring on Kayode for Simon, then play Iwobi as a No. 10 and Iheanacho as a No. 8. We would have easily been able to create chances from the middle and perhaps win the Game convincingly. Well, hope is not lost! We can bounce back and get stronger home and away! |

Icon4s: I have told you to stop all this sentiments accusations. You have seen your experience keeper what he has caused. You keep talking sentiments without knowing selecting a player based on experience is sentimental. Let me say it again, selecting a player based on experience is sentimental. Select the best and Akpeyi is clearly not better than Alampasu. I have always criticised Onazi based on his shielding style of play. In the game against SA last time, we made a mistake of not having a standing four. This happened after Hope Akpan injured and we brought Onazi back to the midfield and we had a catastrophe. The same problem today. Individually the players defended well but when they were overrun especially during counters, it is difficult making the right defensive choices. Today's problem was no shielding of the defence. As for the first goal, the ball was close to Akpeyi and he messed it up. In the earlier time he dropped the ball. You are the sentimental one. 1 Like |

PietroRico:I won't want us to go back to that kind debate Sir. You saw how smooth our midfield was in absence today. Mikel may not be your everyday midfielder. But the stability he brings to the team is second to non. So he is in his OWN CLASS. To those calling for his head. Se you see what baba beji de do for that midfield? Mikel is slow, Mikel can't pass, Mikel can't initiate attack. Se una all see. An half fit and a match rusty mikel will stabilize that midfield. 1 Like |

Folks, beg, let's not pick and chose whom to blame for this disaster. In fact, aside from Etebo and to some extent Simon Moses, all our other players were PISS POOR. I was most disappointed with Ndidi because I expected so much from him. Onazi didn't play great either. I think the captain's arm band was weighing too heavy on him today. Awazien was OK but made some crucial errors. Same with Shehu. Nacho was MIA for most part of the match. And I can go on and on .... A very poor outing today by the boys. I don't know whether to blame it on fatigue after the long season. For some reasons, they didn't play with a lot of energy. As a matter of fact, after the first 30 mins, I told my friend that we ain't gonna win this game. But even me didn't expect us to lose by two zero. And it would've been much more because South Africa hit the bar twice and the ref denied them a clear penalty as well. O pari 1 Like |

TheGoodJoe: That's the Reason I didn't ask for a Change in the 3-Man Midfield, but the fullbacks should be attacking minded like Alves and Marcelo. They should be able to transit from the Attack to Defence conveniently and convincingly - like Wingbacks. In short, we can switch to 3 - 4 - 2 - 1. Moses and another good player can play the Wingback position for the Eagles. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by WORLDPEACE(m): 7:56pm On Jun 10, 2017 |
AIG07:Yes, the players just needed to pass the ball around faster than they did, to not give the opponent too much time to time to sit back and defend. Then the flanks were not used enough. When they used them the crosses were poor. No single set-piece resulted in anything tangible. As an Arsenal fan I have seen these kind of scenarios play out a thousand times. There is always one way out - quick, precise and direct football. It looks to me like the coach is tired of coaching our team and he wants to be fired. |

TheGoodJoe: Go back and watch that replay but this time with an open mind. Close range headers are the most difficult to deal with. You cannot tell which direction the ball would travel. Awaziem was responsible for that goal. And if anyone is to replace Akpeyi it will definitely not be Alampasu. |

Kog45: If Enyeama comes back, I will gladly welcome him. If not if Ikeme is fit, I will feel happy. If not, we should select the best and stop the tricks of this is more experienced. Most annoying is Alloy Agu shielding Akpeyi from screening in the name of preparing him with drills. Absolute thrash. Get them to camp early, drill pick the best two that will most likely start, select the best in training. There is an art to this. If Agu does not know hi job as a keeper trainer, he should get the hell out. Another mishap from Oliseh's reign. |

TheGoodJoe: Be objective and realistic if you bring a half decent striker from non league and you give him 10 minutes to throw in everything he has when everyone is tired and lethargic. Of course he will look fired up and even a little bit dangerous. For me I didn't see anything exceptional beyond initial grateful gra gra, sorry but that's my opinion. |
