What our team needs are creative CM's and AM's. Those two positions are virtually vacant in the present SE. This is our Achilles' heel. Our boys just can't pass. If it is possible to invite Eze, Onomah, Alhassan, Nwakali or even Amoo (kid's got potential) and others ALL AT ONCE to pre-tournament camp to audition for those creative roles, let us do it. This team needs creators. We can sacrifice some slots for wingers and defenders for now.

If we end up going to the tourney with Iwobi and Etebo again as creative midfielders, we can brace ourselves for another eye-biting kick-and-follow, long pass and Inshallah display.

Lorient rejects 19m euros bid frm fellow Ligue 1 side Bordeaux for Terem moffi

JohnBullMySon:
Those still not satisfied with Ndidi's NT team performance are those who don't pay attention to football detail. Especially in midfield. Either They're waiting for him to score a goal/assist or TheSuperNerd to give them stats on how many tackles he made and English football analysts to start taking about his NT performance. As long as all this things are not available, they'll never be satisfied.

Last friendly, I was complaining about Marcus awareness, only to come here and see people praising him for handling and dribbling around with the ball.

U said it all bro. Na pple wey sabi ball go appreciate ndidi for super eagles

U dey talk of Marcus, what about Anayo Iwuala?

I have watched Bordeaux and I will personally prefer Moffi to stay at lorient

With Rohr in d drivers seat, I have already shocked myself. Therefore I'll not be shocked when I'll see d names on his list.

Safari Egypt are not that good as you think

If na Algeria Morocco I for reason you

On paper,u may say they r not that good,
But in reality n AFCON history,our best bet against Egypt is a draw.
A win is a bonus.
In Africa,u can never underate these teams:
Egypt,Cameroon,Nigeria,CIV,n Ghana,

These first 4 countries r more likely to win AFCON than Senegal,Algeria n Morroco.

Afcon history doesn’t play football

Cameroon should never be ahead of Nigeria at the moment ,we claim to have talented players but here you are placing Cameroon with players from back water leagues ahead of us

This is not Monaco Lyon marseille or epl small teams

Placing them above us does not necessarily meant I rate them higher than us.
But remember Cameroon is the host,they have better advantage over others.

Do u think any team that haven't won it before is going to win now? Very difficult n unlikely

Even if Bordeaux adds "0" after 9 making it 190m euros, Terem should not go if not the highest goal he will score all season won't be more than 2 goals.

andrew444:

100% confirm that Lorient rejected that offer for Moffi.

However, it wasn't Bordeaux that made the bid, Nigerian media spinned the report.

Very likely an English club.

Rohr needs to experiment with his midfield. He should invite nwakali, nwobodo etc and play them in midfield.
The lack of creative players in our midfield is a problem that can be solved but Rohr does not care. It could prove our greatest undoing. He is wasting those friendlies

Sudan will be our most difficult opponent in this group. Of course, Egypt is not a team to be underrated, but they would not be a hard nut to crack if Rohr gets his tactics right in the first game. One thing I can say is I expect us to go far in the tournament as usual, but I do not see Rohr steering our ship to victory when it matters most. Fingers crossed.

Egypt always is a threat to win the title. For me they are favorites. Don't forget what is going on with Al Ahly. They have more than enough quality to surround Salah.

I predict d tournament will b d last for rohr

No doubt Basco. By default even Rohr, would rate them very highly. But Sudan will prove the most difficult for us in the group to start with. As far at the title is concerned I would make my predictions after the group stage. But we should always get past the QF at least.

The problem with the Egypt team is that their focus most of that play on Salah... When a team build most of it's play around one player, they run out of ideas when that player is caged by the opponents... It happened at the last AFCON...

Your coach will soon begin to say he has a very young team. He's busy writing down his excuses now not to win afcon.

Any team that defends deep is a threat to us. We struggle with breaking down deep blocks.

Well said.

There are certain countries that irrespective of the type of team they present, they are always a tough nut to crack when it comes to the AFCON.Nigeria, Cameroon and Egypt always exceed expectations at the AFCON. And put together have won the AFCON the most in the last 30 years.

Another set: Senegal, CIV, Ghana, Morocco and Algeria (until last AFCON) would always parade an intimating squad but las-las they crumble when it matters most.
Teams like Mali and Tunisia may not parade the best of individual quality but would most times create some upsets and make semifinals.

Teams like Guinea and Burkina Faso, though not as talented as some of the West African giants, can shock any team in the AFCON, if underrated.

Coming up with my overall analysis of all the groups soon.....

We should easily win this tournament!
We would have won the last edition had it been Mikel and Kalu were fit!
Easy win for SE!

Morocco and Ghana are favorites but Gabon is a potential banana skin Comoros should be the bonanza in that group
