That's the issue my dear Elder Kog. We lack that aura of control and calm in the middle game. We are so predictable. A dictator makes things look smooth and easy on the ball. He switches plays and delivers swift Lines-breaking passes that can stun the opposition's Defensive structure in key moments of a game. We lack that. What we have parading as Midfielders now are midfield hustlers, workrate merchants and box to box runners but all of these lack that bonafide Ball playing trait that is synonymous with true midfield orchestrators. Truth is every midfield needs a mix of all kinds to have the right balance. We need the workrate/box to box athleticism, we need the defensive solidity but we also need the control. We need a Central Midfield dictator. Every other Super Eagles era had them... why should this current generation be denied such by Gernot Rohr's constant ignorance of the midfield problem bedevelling our darling team? It is a big worry.

Kog45:I feel this would also have been a good match for Kingsley to consolidate on his great first game. And really if an unexpected Kingsley did well, why not try the other upcoming midfielders we have, Nwobodo and Nwakali, Las las we go lose match or what could be worse than the loss we suffered today? But I have a feeling they would have a better game on Sunday and win the game. Or maybe they can do us a favor, lose the match so Rohr can get fired. 1 Like |

Meet the unknown Karl Namnganda, of C.A.R, who plays for French fourth tier side Vendee les Herbiers. Nobody is talking about his brilliance ghosting past our Oyibo wall to upset us in Lagos. He is certainly underrated. If not for his brilliance we would have taken one point going into Sunday's game.

I no blame Rohr at the end of the day. Na our under-ambitious administrators I blame. Rohr told Elegbete TV: “When I was coming to Nigeria, I signed that the job is done if I don’t qualify for the World Cup, the second time I also signed that the job will be done if I don’t qualify for the AFCON and the third time I agreed that the job is done if we don’t do well at the AFCON,” “You can only stay in a country if the results are good, you have to go if it isn’t. Some coaches won’t but I agreed.” |

TheSuperNerd: Our need for midfield dictators is glaring and cannot be overemphasized. But i tell you the truth, Rohr doesn't need them, because of the way he sets up his team. He sets up his team to play like underdogs, that is, sit deep, and then break on the counter. Whenever we meet smaller teams that cannot match us toe to toe, we have all the possession but will not know what to do with it. So it is either we pass the ball around without any plan on how to break down the opponent, or we hoof the ball like Ekong does and then lose ourselves to the frenzy. To break down oppositions we need to understand and interpret space, and movements around this spaces, It is this coordinated movements in space that opens up passing channels that can be exploited to hew down the opposition. Vital to implementing this, are midfield players who are quick In making creative decisions, who are blessed with good vision and adept at short and long range passing. If Rohr doesn't change his orientation and consider doing much calculation planning and drilling before games, then he should be comfortable coaching countries whose fifa rankings are above 100 because he will get good results with them, he will lose games, but not with a wide margin. Every coach will always give results with a certain calibre of squads. So Nerdie you can gift Rohr superb midfield dictators, and you might end up blaming the midfield orchestrator who wasn't even shown a plan. 6 Likes |

Danielnino00: As if you can do any better ! As head coach. You’re the one running away from your own statement, I checked and ndidi got nothing on kante a dm Fernandinho that year. Just agree and take the word players so what they are average at best, none of them is a superstar. No blame coach if aina can’t cross, even if his life depended on it. No contradict yourself oga, rohr is not top tier so are our players too. |

Danielnino00:Balls to tell them. Those tactics could have worked with better execution. The plan was to use long balls and throwings to the winger to upend their low block . sadly, we didn't have people like VVD who do it for Liverpool. We sadly forget that top team struggle to score against low blocks so u need long passes to ur forward. If it was not working , what were u expecting from Rohr to do next considering the absence of quality AM? He did the reasonable thing by bringing in attacker who can create in Musa. That it didn't work out is not due to any RoHr tactical inefficiency 1 Like |

TheGoodJoe:Playing with big players in your national team to an extent develops players because they train in 3 days to play with people from different soccer leagues. Now my question, Did Enrique develop Gavi or give him a chance? Is the duty of Rohr to make Ekong a ball playing CB in 3 days trainings every international break? How can Rohr develop Nwakali to a proper AM if his club coaches continues playing him in CDM 1 Like |

TheGoodJoe:Hope u are not turning to paper/blog coach . Watch football games and u will see my point. They don't patiently pass the ball from back to front to create chances when pressurized. Bonnucvi and Chellini will be hoofing the ball up. Emerson and his colleagues will be running through the wings as if chased by ghost . Jorginho is a reputable pass back master ( Nairaland chelsea thread can do justice) Italy doesn't build from back and majority of their goals In their last 2 tournaments are from counters |

Nostradamus1: Build-up and General Offensive Principles When building out the back, United have a wider range of variations compared to last season. For instance, Aaron Wan-Bissaka is more often used as a third centre back than last season in order to mask his flaws going forward (we shall speak about this again later on in this piece). I took an example from the game against West Bromwich Albion. United formed a back three with Wan-Bissaka as the third centre back while Juan Mata provided a passing lane by dropping in United’s half. Now that Nemanja Matić has dropped deeper, Wan-Bissaka can take a higher position which pushes Mata further up the pitch and inside. https://breakingthelines.com/tactical-analysis/tactical-analysis-manchester-uniteds-first-half-of-the-2020-21-season/ 1 Like

Nostradamus1: The only reason why I am opening blogs because you are arguing basic knowledge. When I watch teams, the first thing I want to see is how comfortable they are building from the back. Italy does it brilliantly. A big key is midfield movement to work with defenders. Solksjaer has been doing it since Cardiff. You can't say Solksjaer can't build from the back. Italy with Veratti and Jorginho can't build from the back. What are you saying? You are so off. Just learn and move on. 1 Like |
