I don't know why I'm not really comfortable with Simmy's selection. I just feel he hasn't really done enough to deserve that selection. I have this feeling he might turn out to be another Uchebo. I just hope I'm being scared unnecessarily especially as I'm not a fan of Ighalo sha |

Neimar: Yes Iwobi is creative. He is confident with the ball on his feet, he moves well, positions well, does not indulge in unnecessary dribbling runs, he passes the ball and is also good in 1-2 passes when he wants to navigate some tight and intricate obstacles set by opponents, if people like Ighalo makes the right move when he has the ball, he passes. Yesterday his pass to Ighalo was surreal, watch it again, it flew over the English defenders in a horizontal projectile manner and when Ighalo hit the bar, he was quick to react. He also dribbled well, sent a diagonal ground pass in the path of on rushing Idowu but awkward Joel got in his way and spoilt what would probably have resulted in a goal or at least a well taken shot would have unsettled the English keeper. Creativity is not flicking the ball over peoples head needlessly, or nutmegs when your mates are better positioned waiting for you to pass to them. Those are beautiful nonsense. If you have another understanding of creativity, pls share it. 15 Likes 1 Share |

elyte89: I had the same opinion about the Eagles in the first half but i changed after watching that match like two times. It is very easy to criticise when you are watching it especially when tension is very high. Watch the match with an objective mind, you,ll appreciate their efforts. If they had closed down and prevented Ashley Young and Alli from having fun in the flanks, then Sterling from cutting in and attempting to score from the angles, they would not have looked that awful. |

owbabs: I will give you a quick story. France 98... Nigeria ended their friendlies by losing 5:1 to Holland. Spain had a team comprising of Real Madrid Champions league winners. They were unbeaten in qualifying and had not lost any friendly. We were not expected to be a match for them. Nothing about our form up to that point suggested that we could do it. I remember hoping for a draw in that game but we pulled it out of the bag. Costa Rica lost most of their friendly games but beat Italy in game 1. It is the WC bro. Do not read too much into friendlies 10 Likes 2 Shares |

BOOMnaija: Really? I think i want to disagree with the notion that the match shouldn t have been played in wembley. Frankly, thats a very wrong mindset. These players are professionals for crying out loud!!! When they went to play in Krasnodar last year against Argentina, were they playing under the bridge? If there is any blame, i would blame the DRC match played on a stupid playing surface. I would also blame the game against the serbs in the hive. It doesnt get bigger than that as we had it at Wembley. I dont know what your angle is but really, its amusing. This is a high profile friendly to soak all manner of pressure. If we actually wanna blame anyone, blame the coach for conservatism. Blame him for playing a laid back game, with useless floating of balls to Ighalo. Blame him for still experimenting at this stage. I wont blame the players for yesterday's game. The tactics for the start of the game is what made us play that way. A change of personnels later and it was as if someone took the curse of sloppy passes away. Suddenly all balls were now played on the ground....(after 2 goals in our own net) Imagine if Rohr were to at least be brave enough to play our game. The one that brings out the best in our players sith the right combination of players? I ask myself what do they see in training that makes them field prepostrous selection on matchdays? Especially in the friendlies we have played so far? And yet we would be fooling ourselves not to read too much meanings into things because they are mere "friendlies". I have a lot to say about this games cos frankly, our coach isnt using our players according to their strengths. 1 Like 1 Share |

MetalJigsaw: I think they suit more in a conservative approach but in the 3-5-2 offensive set-up, I will opt for movement over strength. Ighalo and Simy can still fit in if we want to alter our style or approach. |

goldfish80: He played the RB position mostly this season and that's best position. I hope he is given the chance to prove himself in that his natural role after the world cup. Unlike, Ebuehi who was played in his best position. No 1. Ola Aina No 2. Tyronne Ebuehi Whoscored comparison

Icon4s: But im pro kayode and Nwakali and I was sad Lokosa was picked ahead of Larry. About Nwakali, he offers what the our midfield lacks now, why should I criticise his admirers. How ever u wanna put it man, Okey Azu is head and shoulders ahead of Onazi. |

Anyone noticed Uzoho kicks effectively with both foot even though his services needs more sharpening so that he can be able to pick his man with those kicks and kick it further past the half way line? Thats a plus for the Nwangele boy |

Humility017: Oga, calm down. There is no cause for alarm. Were you expecting us to beat England at Wembley? You think we are on the same level as Brazil, Spain or Germany? Cos it is only such countries that can get a result against England at Wembley. Brazil even played a draw there. So relax. That England game was as tough as it can get. Playing Croatia in Russia cannot be as difficult as playing England at Wembley. Take that from me. And let me encourage you not to lose hope in these guys. I have seen so many Nigerian teams at the WC and I have seen so many of Nigeria's preparatory games for the WC. I know what I am talking about. A lot of people here know me as very conservative with my expectations on our players. So when I say "I have hope on these guys" I must have seen enough to have hopes on them. 10 Likes 1 Share |

I was speaking with one of my friends who watched the game in Wembley. This is his verdict: "Onazi is the laziest DM I've seen. Watching him in the stadium convinced me even more. The camera even hides most of his flaws. His positioning off the ball is terrible!!! He's either over aged, unfit, or both... He's been awful for Nigeria since South Africa friendly And Joel Obi is gone... He'll struggle to impose himself in a Sunday league game. Oh... Didn't know about dropping Ola Aina and Agu... Agu is another terrible player. I wonder how he even gets called up I'm quite optimistic about our chances though. The goal keeper is improving with every game" 2 Likes |
