Man city ke??

I am an Arsenal supporter on leave till the club starts showing some ambition. I am looking for a secondary club to support.

Mujtahida:

I don't think he'd even change the line up. It was expected that Cameroun will sit back and hit us on the counter but we were the ones that used that approach. Now with this reverse fixture do you see us changing or sticking to the same game plan considering that Cameroun has nothing but pride to play for.

OMANBALA1:


I would think that at some point Rohr will substitute Simon Moses,move Vic Moses to the right and unleash Etebor in the Left midfield; Or sub Mikel for Etebor.

In the the match against Cameroon when Mikel was substituted I was thinking Etebor would come in and now I was like has he gone down the pecking order ??...hmm. Is Mikel Agu above Etebor in the pecking order ?

TheSuperNerd:
Well kinda complicated to say.... it depends on how Rohr intends to utilise Etebor for the foreseeable future.

Rohr has only used him in central midfield as part of the double pivot with Onazi against Algeria and as the AMF against South Africa....

Rohr has not tried him out on the wings yet... so it's hard to say which of the positions Etebor is limited to and then define his place based on pecking order from there.


But let me do a quick analysis of this....

On the wings he will be behind the likes of Iwobi, Musa and Simon Moses.... even Henry Onyekuru may get a look in on the wings before Etebor.

Note: VicMo is King already on both right and left flanks.


Others not yet invited which are wingers (left/right) are also Samuel Adegbenro and Samuel Kalu, etc...


In the SS role... Etebor will definitely be behind Iheanacho...

In the AMF role... he is behind Mikel Obi, Iheanacho and maybe even an Iwobi (Rohr knows about Iwobi's central AMF abilities and have seen him play there for Arsenal too).


In the Central/defensive midfield... He is behind Ndidi and Onazi... he competes with Agu and Ogu for that third slot from the bench. And from the last match, Rohr preferred to bring in Agu.

So it depends Sir Odenigbo...

Mujtahida:

Thanks Sir Icon4s. Though in my years watching the Super Eagles I've endured more bitter and cruel defeats against our team but that defeat by South Africa disconnected something inside me. It was so painful I couldn't bear to read anything Super Eagles. Perhaps it was because it was a historic defeat, I can't say. But yesterday's victory is a healer, a good tonic for our souls.

TheSuperNerd:
Okay then.... well... newsflash for you my good man.... You want Madam Safarigirl... you go thru them...

Do4luv14... Icon79.... they are the main-the-main... but the guy from her school (won't mention his moniker) was just checking on her....

The first two are the main Contenders... a certain SirManjar showed interest too... but... I think he has given up.... lolll


I am telling you man... The media spoke of Iheanacho being chased by a couple of clubs before Leicester won his signature and even Mbappe and Dembele getting deals after much speculation.... but they miss the fact that Safarigirl is the hottest cake being chased this window.... and now They have to wait till January... how sad.


So Oga Joebie... you want a chance to sit next to her in a flight to comfort her.... then behold your contenders above.

TheSuperNerd:
I like the way you put it concerning Echiejile....and yes Ola did say he is much more comfortable as a RB/RWB than at LB/LWB.... he plays both roles well... but does one much better.

I see Echiejile starting too. We would be facing a huge crowd of Angry and revenge-seeking Camerounian fans who will wanna sew us lose by all means. I don't want Aina to crack under the pressure of trying to impress on his debut. Echiejile will start... unless...

Our team helped Echiejile and covered for his deficiency when it comes to pace but his experience is invaluable and he is still a fine baller... his ball controls still rock.

In the long run... I think Rohr should focus on getting/scouting more LB options... to "understudy" Echiejile (understudy is the decoy term here) but actually to be an upgrade on Echiejile in the long run...

Jordan comes to mind if we can get him.... uhmmm... Josh Debayo isn't proven yet... and Komekn's Sheyi Ojo... well... maybe he should be looked at too... since he plays LWB now I think...

Another matter is Mikel's long term replacement... Kelechi Nwakali comes to mind.... I would also add Ovie Ejaria if we can get him too.

Could say so much but lemme not leave the present and gobtoo far ahead into the future... we have a game in less than 25hrs from now. A game we must not lose.... at least for our WCQ unbeaten run's sake.

OMANBALA1:


Nice to see you dissect the team in such a fine details. Indeed as talented and valued as Etebor is he seem sadly down the pecking order. Which says only one thing that Super Eagles is loaded with immense talents....BUT ARENT YOU FORGETTING SOMEBODY....JOEL L OBI ?

safarigirl:
Big Brother Naija thread is the highest with 3000+ pages

TheGoodJoe:


Football betting season 11 is already on 3009. Think that will end as the longest.

blueto:
ok, but I can surmise that the Uniben thread made history as the first thread on nairaland to hit up to 2000 pages, which is noteworthy as it was created 2nd of January 2015, while Big brother Africa thread was created on January of this year. It grew to that extent as a result of many followers and participants. Nothing special

TheGoodJoe:


I see Cameroon coming at us with full force. I still do not know what Broos thought when he pressed us high. That was a disaster approach. Even more surprising that Rohr expected it.

May be the South African loss created an illusion that we were weak. I expect Cameroon to come all out again and agree we should adopt the same approach. We should exploit gaps created when the press and send a dagger to their hearts with accurate counters.

TheSuperNerd:
Looolll.... make up ya mind mehn...

safarigirl:
No thanks, I dey fear dick sef

OMANBALA1:
Yea, I know most of you have suddenly forgotten about the most gifted attacking midfielder we have right now,Joel Obi.....lol. Etebor might not even go to the world cup if we qualify....lol

Joebie:
Firstly, we need a level playing field. The more the f-monikers the merrier. So much hunters, but where are the commensurate birds? Oya all the ghost f-monikers, step in. Trudy12 (was it?) etc

Secondly, do4luv14 Na my main bro . We know how we roll

Nigerdeltaboi:
haa shuuu

Nigerdeltaboi:
haa shuuu

safarigirl:
no be if Joel village people gree am go? Dude is so fragile, gets injured when it matters

blueto:
yeah, it shows providence when trying to groom new players to take over key roles in the team. Very thoughtful of you. Anything can happen too as God can bless us with more impressively talented young lads.

terzurum5:

One of the reasons why I took a compulsory leave from the thread. I wish we can't beat South Africa 4:0

jotey:

Humility017:

I really think that ighalo first goal...really made the Cameroonians to rush out on us...
and they got more than they deserve

They were already pressing before the goal but Ighalo's goal made them more desperate.

tbaba1234:

He is too prone to injury though.
