I watched their games against Algeria, both of the games, their wingers are good yes, but their midfield is useless.

Echiejile may be a weak link, but if V Moses is working on the same wing, he can bring in his defensive abilities and mute them down.

Once again, it could be a case of overrating them, because the opposition matters a great deal on what a team looks like during play.

As long as Rohr has worked on the wingers, I do not think those guys would give our CBs much trouble.

Maybe some people are now seeing them as Brazil which is laughable, but considering Algeria looked like Tahiti most of the time, I can understand why such people were seeing things.

I know how many times Algerians lost balls that simply shouldn't have been lost and their passing was horrific, it's like they had zero team chemistry and simply couldn't find each other in the final third. That was their biggest issue

I know many people will not regard my input because oga forgiveness has put the fear of God in them as he's wont to do....but I do believe we tackled this panic last month and icon4s put it to rest.

None of us on this thread want to be in Russia more than any of the guys on that team and most of them have never been to any major tournament, so, for once in this country, it would be nice if a little optimism was expressed rather than allowing rabblerousers get into your head

Napoleon55:
is goal scoring not part of football?
u would even think goal keeping,marking,noding are not part of football,only dribbles?

Danielnino00:
Seems like most people on thus thread are underrating Zambia already with the way they keep arguing about Mikel Legendary status, Lotha Mathus Roy Keane and now Pele

safarigirl:
From Roy Keane to Ronaldo and Iniesya, before you know it Ramos, Marcelo and Pique will join the argument.

It wpukd be nice if you alk agreed to disagrew ao we can get to the matter that brought everyone to this thread.

Mickael2:



why is my name the first name kwanu? i mean I didn't start it and I have left the conversation since

Clementoke:
I came back from church to discover 4 new pages. I was happy that I was going to read some nice analysis abt SE nd Chipolopolo. So sad nd disappointed seeing Roy Keane nd Lothar matteaus

Mickael2:



if football is all about goals then Romario is the second best player ever behind Pele because he too has 1k goals and some more. You are shouting Cr7 because you were born in this era, if you had the chance to watch Van Basten you would know that Ronaldo does not even come close as a goalscoring great to that guy. At age 28, the guy already had a lot of goalscoring records to his name, scored some truly ridiculous goals. Like KevinDein aptly pointed out, a lot of guys can lay claim to the title of being a football genius even before Cr7. Hazard is overrated but still he can do a lot with the ball than Cr7 PRESENTLY can

TheGoodJoe:


There is a difference between agree to disagree and blatant denial of pure facts which baffles me. Imagine Rooney saying Roy Keane passes well and someone here is trying to look for an excuse to show he knows more than Rooney. Nwannem I do not know how to agree that.

Someone trying to play down the DMF role because he wants to taint Mikel's impact is a no, no for me. I do not know how to agree to disagree.

DrKlever:
Something is obviously wrong with you people still arguing about roy keane and legendary nonsense, when we have a match on Saturday.. shame on you all for spamming this nice thread

Humility017:

that's what happens when sir goodfish and goodjoe are involve in an argument.

safarigirl:
you have?

Your moniker is the most recent to dabble on the CR7 goal scoring matter, that's why your name is first

TheGoodJoe:


Not really. One person here is doing his best to bury the truth. I am trying to make sure the truth stays alive.

When once I posted Rooney's comment of Roy Keane being the best Passer, that is enough for someone to know he made a mistake, learn from it and move forward. Instead he went to a forum, selected a few negative views and made it a concensus.

Reaching there, the remarks were opposite. That is not argument again. That is blatant denial and trickery.

Exclusive Interview With Super Eagles Coach Rohr Shortly After Arrival In Uyo
Published: October 02, 2017



Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr spoke exclusively to allnigeriasoccer.com shortly after his arrival in Uyo for Saturday's 2018 World Cup qualifying match with Zambia.

ANS : How do you assess your team right now?

Rohr : ''We will try to prepare well, we will have two training sessions everyday, then we will assess the video of our past match and also the video of our opponent. The Zambians are a different team from the one we played in October last year.

''They are a younger team, they are much quicker and better than when we last played them. And you know of course not all the players have arrived.''

ANS : What is the target for the match on Saturday?

Rohr : ''The target always is to win but if we don't win we draw. We must not lose the game. It is a different Zambian team from the Cameroonian team. It is an even more difficult game.

''They have analyzed us just as we have analyzed them, so they know us better, hence it is going to be a tough game.''

The Dana Air plane that brought the team touched down at the Akwa Ibom Airport at approximately 1925 hours, and there was a coach with the inscription, ''Godswill Akpabio International Stadium'', that transported the delegation to the Le Meridien Ibom Hotel and Golf Resort soon after their arrival at the airport.

On Tuesday evening, the Super Eagles will begin shaping up for Saturday’s Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup Group B match against Zambia.

Areas i want our SE to improve on before the world cup:-

1. Each dept on the field of play must have 1 outstanding setpiece taker(1defender, midfielder, attacker).

2. Holding possession for at least 60passes.

3. Coordinated corner kick execution(like Mikel's goal against Cmr)

4. Tempo sustenance during the 2nd half. we lack this since 2006 afcon to my knowledge.

safarigirl:
okay, oya, don't agree. Just let the matter rest, you can pick it up on Sunday. Daalu

Or, pick up my Kung-fu shoes.
