I just watched that match for the third time. To say Ogu's performance was phenomenal is misleading.

That is your opinion. From Instagram, Facebook, forums, other media outlets including 4 websites I checked all praised Ogu. If your opinion is different, that is for you.

I have mine, people backed it and that is okay for me.

Finito.

No point crying over those who didn't give Oshaniwa a look in, or you'd appear like someone always waiting to criticize, relevant or not.

TheGoodJoe:


I wanted Rohr to look into Oshaniwa and he did. That is all I ask. If he does not impress or fit into the coaches plan, I am okay with that. My respect for Rohr is that he looked in. It is his team and his choice to make decisions that is best for the team. As long as the coach is true to himself, he has my respect.

I critiqued those who did not look into a player unfairly dropped from the squad after performing well and giving a run to a player who faulted repeatedly. I praise the one who noticed and looked in.

What is your problem in that?

grin i've only said it's misleading. Never said you should not keep hugging your opinion.
He had a great goal. The only goal form open play, and in fact, the only valid goal. That's enough to win MOTM. And if they want to top it with all the beautiful toppings, okay then.
But most of those things won't have been said had he not scored.

You are the one surfing March 30 post to bring an already debated argument and telling me I appear like someone waiting to criticize. I mean, March 30. Haaa.

If I am waiting, you are looking. If I see something wrong and I disagree with it, I will point it out. If the coach agrees, I praise him because that is when I am Convinced to the best of my knowledge that the coach is doing his best for the team. That is what I want from him.

That is them. I would have praised Ogu. As I said before, I watched that game with a former Sharks FC player and he was the one that told me Ogu will cap his good performance with a goal. When the goal entered, he said he told me. Which was an impressive prediction.

Without the goal, maybe there would have been an argument fest here but I was convinced beyond reasonable doubt that Ogu was fantastic. I hope he can repeat it against Argentina.

right now...we have 3 RB....shehu,ebuehi and aina and for LB...we have just idowu. and iwobi playing AM....that one is left to rohr who still keep fielding etebo there...

I wish I can talk to him.....
Omeruo is still an option for right back, but in all, l think Shehu is establishing himself in that keenly contested position.

Nah, with Shehu, Aina, Ebuehi and Idowu.. Omeruo will have to compete for the CB role.

I think with the presence of mikel...it will be better....
players like ekong and Leon should be allowed to go forward whenever we have corner kicks...with onazi covering the backline in their absence...

and the set piece I think should be left for nacho and Moses Simon and not Victor Moses........

he really impressed me with the ones he took in Constantine

TBH so far Ekong and Leon have offered nothing on set pieces. Victor Moses was outstanding on set pieces against Cameroon, remember he had a goal that was cancelled and also his cross for Mikel's goal. But that is the thing, we have better takers than we have finishers, before Mikel the last set piece goal was from Efe Ambrose.

I loved Iheanacho's deliveries against Algeria.. I feel Simon Moses or Etebo are better than Victor Moses in set pieces. Simon Moses is the set piece taker at his club.

Also, the coaches have to develop set piece routines. In the 2002 WC, i remember Argentina employed a particular FK routine against us and eventually scored with it.

Please guys, how many natural LB and RB do we have in camp?

Also apart from Mikel and maybe a makeshift Iwobi, who can play the creative/attacking midfielding position for us currently in camp?

Nobody but dem no wan gree give Abdul Ajagun chance.

If Ogu's performance is your definition of 'fantastic' then I Argentina will destroy us. Le2 me ask you some questions, which position was Ogu playing in the first and second half?

If Joel Obi can stay fit till the WC, I'd like to see him play ahead of either Ndidi or Onazi. I really think he can break into our first 11.
If joel obi plays, Onazi can still play just ahead of the defenders in a defensive midfield role, but then we have Ndidi as well, so the best option would be to reserve joel obi on the bench as a replacement for Mickel in that attacking midfield role.

I pray he stays fit and in form. But he plays as an CM. Who's going to be our substitute AM apart from Mikel. Our reliance on him is too obvious. It would make tactically savvy teams to isolate him and we'd be done for. Can Obi Joel play as an AM?

Any player that will take that RIGHT WING BACK position from Shehu will have to be good as Phillip Lahm of Germany ... I want t see him against Argentina and give my full verdict . We need all our best players at the right position .

Joel can be a good AM as well. He has good versatility and energy. He is also good on the ball.

As a nation, the much I know about our football history tells me that we've never been lacking in the goalkeeping department but I don't understand how we are having this problem since Ikeme became sick.

We do not lack goalkeeper. The only problem is Alloy Agu wants to force Ezenwa on us.

Vincent Eyeama, Dele Aiyenugba, Nwofolor, Dele Alampasu, Francis Uzoho, Deji Ajiboye etc are all far better than Ezenwa but somebody's interest is more important than the whole country.

Ogu was poor , in that Zambia match ,...and i have watched his games so many times , had a lot of bad tackles in the past which had earned him a yellow card during the days of Keshi .....his good side his the ability to take a long range shot and intercept passes . aside this , his timings are always wrong ... maybe he can improve . i will pick any of our regulars ahead of him ...
