. For the 2nd goal, we had cornerkick which our defenders went to contest which is normal, whose responsibility it is the stand with the SA player, Onazi, he's the shortest of our defenders had no business in the SA 18yard and as the most experienced player on thhe field, he couild not coordinate his team.

TheGoodJoe:


That also crossed my mind during the game. Switch Iwobi and Etebo. Also instruct Onazi and Ndidi to get the ball to Iwobi.

So many wrongs yesterday but as expect the coaching crew to learn from it.

Humility017:


I truly blame rohr...for iwobi lapses
he should have use the boy on the 10 role and let etebo play frm the flanks
watching Algeria match should have taught him that... where iwobi disappeared into tin air

goldfish80:

I think Rohr wanted a little bit of power and muscle in midfield that was why Etebor was preferred in the middle.
I hope this will be the last Kelechi is seen playing the lone striker role. I have always said he's a liability up front on his own. Yesterday was one of such nights again.

Humility017:

to be honest....wit you wit no offence
I think those indigenous assistants working wit rohr are empty skulls
especially that agu and Yusuf
u see RSA had to go call rantie to come play because of his past precedent playing Nigeria...
Yusuf claim to have been around for so long and still inexperienced

Lionessza:









SA 2- nigeria 0. Lmfao

TheGoodJoe:


Kelechi Iheanacho was an asset up front yesterday. Unfortunately we did not have the right personnel in midfield to use him to cause damage. If not, we would have been two or three goals up first half.

TheGoodJoe:


Let Ndidi play it. He also played as a central defender and his defensive instinct is good. Esiti needs to do more than sit because of his passing. Ndidi has the attributes to make a good defensive shield.

cromz:
no doubt ndidi is a good dmf but he's better playing as a roaming midfielder a big man is most suitable for the deep playing role I would prefer a midfield that consist of iwobi or ajagun (in mikel's absence) ndidi,onazi or etebo(roaming midfielder) john ogu,Mikel agu or esiti(deep role MF).
By the way I don't know why rohr can't invite igali or this our boy that plays in Spain have forgotten his name sef.Cus sentiments apart akpeyi is wack.

Don't start abeg. What exactly did he do yesterday? How many shots on target did he muster? How many shots off target did he have? If it was Ideye who had such poor stats, everyone would have been all over him.
I have always told you people not make demi gods off these players. You're not helping them.

cromz:
Good players dey rohr no go invite na academy players baba dey find here are some players I think should have been invited to the national team.
Manuel akanji (it's so sad we lost these one)
igali
sone aluko
ajagun
ideye(hasn't been invited in recent times)
Thiago ilori (dude would play the RB role better than the players we have)
nedum onuoha (experienced CB)

Hahahaha you are forever issuing threats at me , why don't you just snap already I'm fuckn sick of these stupid threats.

goldfish80:

Please the Nigerian assistants wouldn't have done anything. Rohr was the man in charge, the buck stops at his office, he makes all the decision. Why not mention Rohr's foreign assistants?

TheGoodJoe:


Apart from Awaziem, we fielded a team with playing experience. We just got the set up wrong.

Humility017:


from the previous match played in uyo prior the one of yesterday.....a good coach need no one to tell him that it takes a midfielders who read games and a creative midfield to outsmart the RSA defense...that's why aluko could Savage the day in our last meeting...
I was expecting the assistants like Yusuf who have been very much around to proffer the needed advice and also...rohr watch of past clips....
the play pattern wasn't different from our last outing
you wanna beat the South Africans....then score them first

TheGoodJoe:


Keep in mind, two exceptional defensive shields were Mascherano at Liverpool and Makalele at Chelsea. Flamini in his hay days was exceptional too. Gatusso did a fantastic work shielding the Milan defence.

So it must not be a big man, although most good fours are big men. Players like Busquets, Mikel Obi, Edmilson, Casemiro, Wanyama, Nzonzi etc.

solonnachi:
All we are saying, Just bring back
1. Vincent Enyeama
2. Carl Ikeme
3. Mikel Obi
4. Victor Moses
5. Ola Aina
6. Leon Balogun
I don tire abeg!!!!

cromz:
I am not talking about only experience am also talking about quality elderson played woefully as LB,our forwards lacked the creativity to create deadly chances, the passes by our midfielders were too simple and predictable,the defenders lacked a leader someone who could instruct them to play well. our blocking dmf wasn't just good enough.
The players I mentioned here if given the chance would perform better than those that played.
The wings isn't all about speed and shooting our wingers lackrf vision and creativity they were just running aimlessly. An aluko would hv changed that game. slow calm and visionary wingers are very important to a team. So is the deep Dmf an experienced defender and a good goal keeper all this we lacked in the starting xi against SA yesterday.

cromz:
which of our midfielders have d qualities of masherano or gatuso?? but we have big men who can do the job the likes of ogu,esiti,Mikel agu etc

jakandeola:
hmm u knw I care and see u as a friend buy I hate wat u keep writing against naija

An Iwobi in front of the defensive midfield earlier would have created better chances than Etebo, Onazi and Ndidi. Ndidi or Mikel Agu sitting deep in midfield would have provided better shielding.

Echiejile playing in a disciplined/defence first fashion would have reduced the gaps in the left side of our defence.

That is why I feel we had enough quality to execute the game. With better arrangement we would go far.

Dedebanky85:
Gosh!!! I can't take this sentimental analysis no more. There are some people that would defend certain players even if they show 2 owngoals in a game. Omeruo just proved to me today that he's internationally better than Awaziem. Guys international footy is not moimoi ooooo. Awaziem started getting jittery when we were faced with counters. Omeruo would never. Nobody cam ever convince me that cos Azuibike plays in Turkey he's not good. Taaaa! That boy is a MF Comptroller General. Depending on Aina's switch, Shehu should go to LB. Boy's a damn good player. He's just not been lucky to move to a good club. Against CMR, I don't wanna hear Iwobi and 1st 11 in d same statement. MF would be Ndidi Etebo and Mikel. Attack would be V.Moses, Aluko and Ideye. I'm not discarding Iheanacho but if we keep goimg to play 3 attack, Ideye is a beast in it. They way he plays, his take-ons, his football intelligence is well suited for a 3 man attack.

This match exposed Rohr's preference for only one formation. Makijg like for loke subs when you're down.
On another note I have never seen a country thatdiscards it's older. players due to the emergence of new talents. I know of Naija fans were French fans, they'd tell Koscienly to go and die, tell Giroud to go represent the Village team. On top yeye talent and newspaper derived imaginary transfers that never materialize, we go de front.
We play this nonsense against CMR, I'd happily wager on a CMR double victory and even make more money by betting that we ain't gonna score CMR. We hype average talents too much. It has gotta stop.
