Can't imagine when we re loosing and you re attempting those flicks..

Na swear fans go use finish you

Before they said okocha,now u mentioning ronaldinho.

Ejike is an upgraded pius ikedia for now until he movies to a top team n performs better

TheLoneCitizen:


The fact you can only draw on the world cup 2018 is testament of not facing the status quo.

Using your module:
Since Etebo was our best player then, no midfielder should bench him today,regardless of his club form.
Ahmed Musa was our top scorer, so no winger should start ahead of him, regardless of club form.

Do you realise that one year after his World Cup heroics, he was benched for Akpeyi at AFCON?

Nothing against Uzoho but Okoye's club form has justified his inclusion.

And then you say not give us any good performance. Man is unbeaten with Nigeria.

JohnBullMySon:
So has Maduka been poor?

andrewbaba44:
When akpeyi was at the post at afcon i remember so many people insulting him even when he did well

Maduka dey learn for where akpeyi dey for criticism

Akpeyi will never be forgiven if he was the one that conceded 4 goals against sierra leone, they will blame him and leave the defensive errors

You've started twisting the argument. The 'world cup' in my argument is to show you how high he has performed as far as the level of football is concerned.
At least Musa and Etebo are not starting games for us due to the availability of better options. You bringing them into the argument means you're nailing yourself

There was no reason to bench Uzoho for Akpeyi during the AFCON. Rohr tries it and we paid for it in the most painful manner.

Odunayaw:
Even Uzoho they're now raising up like banner they once insulted too.

Awon anywhere belle face analysts

Zambia's Sakala scored a hattrick in their 4-0 win, Daka also scored.
When was the last time a Nigerian scored an hattrick in a qualifier or tournament?

andrewbaba44:
The legend is back

Thegoodjoe what do you think

TheGoodJoe:


I do not know why I am so excited about Xavi. Maybe because I have been watching him closely since he was a young guy in Nigeria '99, or I believed he made football look too simple.

I do not know if he will do well with the challenges Barcelona are facing. One thing I know, we are going to see possession football in a very beautiful way when the little genius kicks off.

Can't wait.

Poor. . .

Has he being convincing?

Has any of his performance indicate he is better than Uzoho?

He, being a FB has being working for him.
If Uzoho or Akpeyi are the one conceding 4 goals and making mistakes, would you have spared them?

Danielnino00:


Cape Verde were never a walkover from the beginning..
They are a team that know how to frustrate the big boys on the continent...

Now that they have a chance of winning the group, they will be extra motivated against us..
Something tells me that their coach already know Rohr's game plan...We need a draw to qualify.. If Rohr set up his team to play for a draw, we are in trouble... They will sit back and hit us on the counter...

Tinneh:

But but "aina cant defend"
The aina slander on this thread is quite alarming

TheGoodJoe:


Do you trust these NFF men to make favourable deals or they are trying to cash out? Let them make their deals public. Let them show us the clubs they rejected and the ones accepted. Let us know the agents they have chosen and their track history.

Which one is exploited? Was Iheanacho or Isaac Success exploited before Pinnick's arrival?

I am more interested in youth investment. Pinnick enjoyed the fruit of Maigari's labour despite sabotaging the process. Let him show us the national assets he has developed since then.

mostob:
You've got great facts. Now, let me ask. .despite his club form and game time, how has he not give us any good performance? I expect him to be better and more convincing by now. I have nothing against him but dude needs to step up. Uzoho was great for us during the last world cup despite his age and lack of exposure.

As for moses and Onuachu, I still insist both have not really showed their club form in GWG

JohnBullMySon:
The only major problem with our team is that we miss clear chances a lot. Without those silly misses, we should be giving those small defensive minded African teams at least 2 nil.

JohnBullMySon:
The funny thing here is that, being realistic, Cape Verde's chances of winning that Tuesday match is almost zero. If you notice, our team mostly struggles against a team that came to draw. And honestly, you can't possibly thrash a team that came to defend. The only major problem with our team is that we miss clear chances a lot. Without those silly misses, we should be giving those small defensive minded African teams at least 2 nil.

Rohr's preferred tactic is counter attack, because we have excellent attackers, that's why it is difficult for big teams to overcome Nigeria. Once the game is equal in possession, the team finds it easy to score. But once the opponent is laid back, na wahala because we are not yet at that elite level of creativity to tear defences open easily. So if you sit back against Nigeria, you have a chance of winning or drawing. If any of those teams had tried to keep the defence line higher, trust me na 4-nil or above.

However, for Cape Verde, coming to Lagos to sit back, will be very difficult for them to do, even if the coach says so, given that they have more at stake and sitting back will more likely lead to a draw than a win. So their only option is to score an early goal, then sit back. But that will be a gamble for them, because Rohr's counter attack strategy could lead to a goal in their net and keep them attacking, which will result in more goals against them, trust me. So very likely Rohr will start Chukwueze or Ejuke.

The game will tilt to who scores the first and earliest goal. Nigeria is the favorite here, due to a deadlier attack. I only pray that Sierra Leone doesn't happen again. It's very unlikely though.

jihday:
I disagree, Liberia actually looked better than us on the ball. Do you know how bad you have to be for Liberia to play more attractively than your team?
