We are going to the world Cup without a psychologist..

Martz101:


it was obvious he went to double back with idowu in thw left and the ball came from there, but the qiestion you should ask is where is mikel

yes where is mikel,i can see iwobi...where is the president Mikel

gamaliel9:
With the exception of Oliseh,i have not seen a Nigerian player hit long range shots...Karibe Ojigwe tried to do that ...the rest were based on luck..not really talent or practice pitch technique...and constantly powering it....is it difficult to learn?

Martz101:


you choose to close your heart to the truth, when madrid was under pressure from liverpool in the first 20 minute, every one including ronaldo were doing the defensive job, they didnt let casemerio do it alone

it different when a team is hit on a break then the DM need to help the defense before the ball get to them.

England were allover us and 2 DM can't shield that alone, were onazi and noel were even poor was distributing of balls, misplaced pass...they were not out of position.

if you are talking of primary duties, how many Nigeria player did there primary job well in first half...how man forward pass did mikel make, how many crosses did moses make, i didn't see moses in the first 20 minutes, shehu was shaking like he wanna pee, idowu was exposing Balogun, ighalo never did anything positive

Uzoho and Iwobi were the only rare light

BascoVanVeli:


The picture only proves that he had to do a lot of unnecessary running because his teammates were not helping.

safarigirl:


John Ogu earned his position and he and Balogun, are the two most passionate guys on that team, in my opinion.

BascoVanVeli:


Why didn't people say he wasn't playing to instructions against Cameroon? He played in the exact same fashion. People are running away from the obvious and making up things. First I hear he was pushing forward and now this. Onazi's passing was poor and that was the key to his bad game. He gave away the ball in dangerous positions and one led to a goal.

forgiveness:
Olodo rabater wants me to believe falsehood.

Mikel Agu – Came on for the injured Onazi but it took him time to get into the game. He was booked for dangerous play but the moment he got into his strides, he settled down and combined well with Ndidi to provide cover for the back-four. Also cut off the attacking threat of Zambia on more than a few occasions. 6/10

Rohr Defends Agu, Praises Aina After Nigeria Win Vs Zambia

Peter Oriaku
8 months ago
By Nurudeen Obalola:
Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr has refused to condemn Mikel Agu after the midfielder’s shocking performance in the 1-0 victory over Zambia in Uyo on Saturday that sealed the Super Eagles’ spot at the Russia 2018 World Cup, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.

Rohr was however pleased with the contribution of Hull City defender Ola Aina, who made his Nigeria debut as a second-half substitute on Saturday.

Turkey-based Agu came on in the first half for the injured Ogenyi Onazi and put up a performance full of poor touches and misplaced passes that put his teammates under unnecessary pressure.
“It’s not easy to come into such an important game for a young player,” Rohr said in Uyo. “Agu did his best and he’ll learn from the experience. This is not the time to criticise him; we should encourage him.
“He had a difficult game but he will learn.”

Unlike Agu, Aina had an impressive game after replacing the injured left-back Elderson Echiejile.


“Aina did very well and I’m happy for him,” Rohr praised the young defender who is on loan at Hull City from Chelsea.

“When Elderson got injured we felt it was time to give Aina his chance. Aina is a very good young player; he did quite well against Zambia. He defended well and got forward when he had to.

“It’s great to have good young players for the future of the team.”

Agu improved in the second half. Despite the big occasion in a very important match that determined our qualification, Agu did well as a young boy.

Match wey I still watched yesterday.

Why Rohr no use Ogu since he is better?

Afam4eva:

I also give it to Alex Iwobi. There's something about British players who decide to play for Nigeria instead. They tend to be very passionate. Iwobi reminds me of Anichebe during his stint with the super eagles.

gamaliel9:
Ogu brings a calm aura into this team....he looms over the grasses.....his interceptions are top notch.....his passes short and long....he can play in the defence,though a midfielder...with his long legs,he dispossesses the ball from opponents easily...he takes long range shots-the only one who scores from it i this team- who watched Morocco vs Slovakia,a certain Ziyech from morocco kept firing from afar and kept hitting target ...Ndidi use to do that at Gent

The following should learn from Ogu on hitting long range shots
Iheanacho
Ighalo
VicMo

OMANBALA1:


True to your words, light skin is presumed to be feminine but you see Ebuehi, Balogun and Ekong those guys can throw punches. I want you to watch how Ebuehi walks, like mudaphuking gangster. I swear Ebuehi can woop Iwobi's azz all day...lol

And do you remember the little show Balogun put on against Algerian the day he wore a mask...We have some rugged mixed boys ooo.

Oliseh is light skin, Emenalo and Iroha are light skin and these guys will kick your azz. People always underestimate light skin guys but a bunch of them are very tough

safarigirl:
Alex Iwobi dey like small pikin wey dem just give everything, so he's balling. He no fight the way Ogu and Leon fight.

And there is nothing about British players anything, if not, why the same thing been no dey Aina or where is Moses' passion these days?

safarigirl:
remove Victor Moses, for Kelechi and I approve this line-up. Kelechi and Iwobi have worked in a 3-5-2, Moses will probably forget that Iwobi is his striking partner and be running forward without taking notice of him.


It is not bad if Moses starts from the bench. Before we accuse Rohr of being rigid, some of us should also remember that we are equally rigid

OMANBALA1:


Being on an airplane can be nerve racking but at that age you should be able to hide it and just drop for one corner like everything is ok...lol

John Ogu just gave his whole biography on social media.

Footballers go through a lot. He talked about everything from start to finish.

At academica, he was told not to go for the Mandela challenge and to tell Keshi that he was injured. He refused and traveled. After he got back, he was benched. The coach refused to play him. He missed the 2014 WC and refused to sign an extension with Academica. After contract expired, he was out of a club, finished his money and even had to be getting money from his mum in Nigeria to get by. He got support from players like Onazi who housed him in Rome. Eventually, he got the offer from Israel.

The guy should consider writing a book.. There are some inspiring ups and downs.

Our able international Correspondent on Foreign-based matters (Germany division), Hon. Chriskels, will do justice to your question Sir. Stay tuned till whenever he shows up...

edi287:

Aina is a regular at Hull and had an above average season. Echiejile wasn't even getting starts at a second division Belgian side. How many opportunities did Aina get if we're being real?? Yes I know people will point to Ebuehi and talk about how he came and played well against Argentina but he was a bit shaky in his first game for us too.
Yes Aina hasn't killed it but neither did Echiejile. If we all agree Idowu is first choice LB at the moment, why not take a younger Aina to gain experience? His versatility might have come in handy.

ChrisKels:




At the bolded, when you see that boy from behind, walking, if you schooled in one of those tough Unis in Nigeria, u would understand this better. Ebuehi has the typical walking step of Nigerian Uni tough men, say vikings or Aye .

Seriously whenever the camera shows him walking, it reminds me of a procession of Bargas, Apaches, Axemen walking past our faculty to business block back then in the Uni.

Ebuehi has a Nigerian uni ruggedity written all over his step. I actually thought I was the only person that noticed it Lol.



Krattoss onye otu nzuzo whatya say?

Martz101:


compare a john ogu and Aina

There is so many challenges for African footballers, Aina can't even get enyimba job.

my only regret is Ogu is 30 already.

when you look at Ogu you wonder how did bakayoko get to chelsea and ogu is in israel
