OwnGoal has quoted Rohr saying "no new players for
qualifiers"

Even though OG has a shaky record, they do get it right
at times, and this is a quote that has constantly been
attributed to Rohr, so I am inclined to believe it.
I am getting sick and tired of Rohr using this stupid "no
new players" excuse every time we play a competitive
match. Citing the whole "we cannot try new players in a
competitive match" This to me just seems like lazy
scouting, and a complete lack of forward thinking. This
also shows to me that Rohr does not see any problems
with our team and is not trying to improve the team,
especially in problem areas.
The idea that you cannot call up new players, (nobody
said wholesale changes) to replace ones who are
clearly dead woods, or not really offering much, simply
because you are playing a competitive match is
ridiculous and just a lazy excuse.
Is Rohr to tell me that were Messi suddenly ready to
wear SE shirt, Rohr would ignore him, because he has
not played before. That is a crappy coach who does
not know how to adapt to situations. Any coach worth
his salt will be able to put a new player into a system
if he can bring more to that system than the previous
players. To top it off nobody said that the "new" player
has to start, but they could easily make an impact off
the bench.
We just witnessed a US team, THAT HAS NEVER
BEFORE PLAYED TOGETHER, win the Gold Cup,
beating out a Mexican team that has played together
since the previous World Cup. So this idea that "new
players" is somehow detrimental, is complete hogwash
and the utterances of a lazy and conservative coach
who has absolutely no imagination at all.
It is clear that SE needs to be improved in certain
areas, and the fact that Rohr continues to ignore this
and keep things "as they are" is not a good sign for SE
if you ask me.
It also is not as if Rohr uses friendlies to address these
issues. He never likes to try new players, unless injuries
or withdrawls forces his hand, so frankly I dont know
when his time to experiment would be.
We still have not solved these problem areas.
1. Who is Osimehn's backup ? Should Osimehn be
unavailable SE will struggle to score. Onuachu is not
Osimehn's backup. He CANNOT start matches and
have SE play our usual style. If Rohr has not figured
this out, he is a completely useless coach.
2. Who is Ndidi's backup ? I hope Rohr is not telling
me that he is happy to have Shehu Abdullahi step in
for Ndidi.
3. Who are our top wingers in Chukwueze's absense ?
Rohr still does not know. He is still wasting time
calling up junks like Musa and Iwuala, who have
NOTHING to offer SE. How can calling up "new" players
be any worse than parading these junks. They cannot.
I have sounded the warning before and I am doing it
again, but I will tell you all that a disaster will befall SE
so long as Rohr continues this lazy approach to
coaching.
We are a few injuries or suspensions away from having
a really tough time in World Cup Qualifying and also at
the AFCON.
and speaking of AFCON, Is Rohr trying to say that there
will be no new players at AFCON, since I dont believe
there will be any more occasions to try out new
players.
We still have not looked at

AlHassan Yusuf

Kelechi Nwakali

Obinna Nwobodo

Sadiq Umar

Ovie Ejaria

Ademola Lookman

Paul Mukairu

Taiwo Awoniyi

How can any sane coach who regularly parades junks
like Shehu Abdullahi, Ahmed Musa, Anayo Iwuala, and
a Basketball player who cannot keep up with the pace
of the game be happy and have no wish to look at the
above players. It is pure idiocy to be honest.

Henry has 1 goal 2 assists for Nigeria in 242 competitive mins.

Only Onuachu and Osimhen have a better rate in Nigerian history.

Serie A kicked off yesterday.

Today will be the turn of our lad, Victor James Osimhen up against Ebuehi and Okereke with Venezia.

Game kicks off in 6 hours and 15 mins.

Below is the Current Most Valuable XI in Serie A according to Transfermrkt.

No more Lukaku since he's gone.

TheSuperNerd:
The Midfield: A little analytical viewpoint based on eye test and other observations made overtime from recent showings in the past 1 year+

We are getting to that point where we would have the following Midfield double pivot options in our Arsenal with each serving distinct functions depending on the opposition.

A). Capped:

1. Ndidi-Aribo: (Speaking on reality) Guarantees world class DM shield in Ndidi, Ball carrying, smooth transition from midfield to attack, and top notch late arrival in the box.
Aribo is the best among our MF options at arriving late in the box to bag a few goals.
Only problem is we don't get enough creativity from deep in this combo and there is little visionary lines-breaking passing when up against a deep defensive block.
This combo Guarantees goals than constant creativity against certain oppositions due to Aribo's knack for getting forward rather than playmaking.


2. Ndidi-Etebo: (Speaking on reality) Guarantees Workrate and energy in the middle but the defect is there is little ball transition and both lads will almost likely mirror each other in most functions.
Etebo is always the busiest in this combo but he doesn't do the most important job of a CM well..... Ball carrying. He is more of a ball retention expert.
Against certain highly Physical sides, this combo will strive and get results for the most parts but against a Top ball playing side this "similar-functions" combo struggles.
Additionally, Etebo can also get forward and have shown that a few times with goals to show for it but I maintain that Aribo remains Lord among our options when it comes to a CM arriving late in the box.


3. Ndidi-Onyeka: (Speaking on potential) Likely to guarantee Mad Workrate and Insane Defensive shield, box to box energy, good ball transition, pressing all over the field, but creativity will largely depend on the #10/Support striker and Wingers plus a few moments of brilliance from balls won in the high press by Onyeka and Ndidi's long passing from deep (which comes not so often but when it comes, it can cause problems for oppositions).
Potential defect is this combo is that they could struggle to create through the middle.


B). Uncapped*:

4. Ndidi-Alhassan*: (Speaking on Potential) Likely to guarantee World class DM shield, Top defensive coverage all over the pitch, insane workrate, excellent ball transitions due to the presence of a genuine ball playing Midfield dictator in Alhassan, creativity from almost all over the pitch due to Alhassan's quick thinking on the ball combined with his Constant High press, Midfield possession control.
Alhassan also can get forward but none does that better than Aribo.
Potential defect is hard to spot in this combo... Alhassan's High Cerebral Midfield plays and passing ability is also highly complemented by his insane energy and ma workrate. Time will tell.


5. Ndidi-Nwakali*: (Speaking on potential) Likely to guarantee top DM shield, Good defensive positioning, excellent switches of plays as both are long ball experts, decent workrate, excellent ball transitions due to the presence of a bonafide ball playing Midfield dictator in Nwakali, lines breaking creativity from deep, Midfield Possession Control.
His dead ball ability is also the best among the midfield options. Etebo is another who can have a go from freekicks but Nwakali still edges.
Potential defect here is that Nwakali could have a drop in defensive concentration/level and that could take its toll on Ndidi if not checked in time within observed period.

Napoleon55:

From this analysis,
Ndidi/Alhassan seems to be the best midfield combo,
but I doubt if we'll b able to c it happen any time soon because of the type of coach we have.
We really need to try as many new midfield combo as we can to determine which work best.
