Nna eh... Ikeme was unbeatable today save for that mbesuma goal. He keeps making me forget the legend of Africa's Finest Goalkeeper in this era... Vincent Enyeama. Ikeme is my goalkeeper in my online and offline Dream league soccer game in my free time.... (Didn't wanna get Enyeama sef) Looollll... He's so so so good and is top class indeed. World class performance from Ikeme. Nigeria no dey lack keepers naa... Lie lie!!!! zicky: 2 Likes |

Icon4s: Well, I'm glad the mind games which I sense Rohr is playing worked. Ndidi was/is an experiment to me after I discovered that Rohr can't be that stupid. Algerians will watch this game and try to exploit that angle, Musa Mohammed would be back I pray by then cos Slimani...., Mahrez. ..... Glad no goals came from Ndidi's mistakes though. You're right on that Chidi Odiah stuff. we've been using makeshift, but Musa played that role@ u17 and won the title so I can reason his intor right into that position. Enough of makeshift defenders. He's our Bellerin; pace, strength, crosses! Besides, Mweene the pitch dancer should go and retire. |

Compared to Ndidi's performance on the other flank.... Yes! Echiejile was okay but did have his few jittery moments with that Zambian no.10. Ndidi's was a tale of two halves indeed... Rohr was really "daring" to have played Ndidi in AN AWAY GAME FROM THAT ROLE... MEHN!!!! Your suggestion to have played him in a home game is true for the most parts. Anyway... Overall, Rohr's tactics paid off... ![]() tbaba1234: |

Ndidi started brilliantly. I was over the moon with his performance but then.. ... He got tired and the Zambians took advantage of it. I lost count how many times he was skinned but I can hail his effort to fight back. He fought to help the team. When it comes to his positioning, he was good. He was in position most times and helped the defence clear the ball. He made some passes to the midfield and forward players that help build up play and won some aerial battles. Drop to Central defence when we were under pressure. The coach might have something with Ndidi at right back but the qualifiers is too risky to play him there if he will cause the team problems. 1 Like |

3 points secured! D team is improving and progressing gradually. Did any see d shot mikel took? mikel of old could have ballooned t up. Thats d essence of drills. The shooting drills has improved d over all ability of our team-no more wayward shots. Can't wait to have Leon, Moses, Success and Ighalo back in d team. Finally, We need to look out for better fullbacks. Ndidi(though played out of position) and Echiejile were too vulnerable and were easily beaten by pace. Lest we forget north african teams are pacey. Hope d coach looks into this. Congratulations to all sport loving Nigerians. D unbeaten run continues. |

tbaba1234:Which we already have in Musa Mohammed, dunno why he didn't play today. Shehu doesn't have the pace of a RB. but he connects well. I Just need that pace for that RB spot and Musa en Ndidi have that above him. Mind you, I want a RB that can start an attack with pace thus my selection. |

Onazi is showing growth and maturity. He was off position about two or three times. Apart from that, he was sound in his positioning. Ran a marathon in the midfield and did most of the dirty work to break down the Zambians. Dropped to the defence to help the defence and won the possession with some interceptions. Under the hot sun, the midfielder did not stop running. He has a big role to play with Echiejile. Echiejile is an offensive left back and needs Onazi to let him know when he is off position. Like Omeruo, Onazi helped fill gaps. I would not talk about his faulty passes. That pitch was unbelievably bad. |

Thanks Sir GoodJoe... My thoughts exactly. A tale of two halves it was for Ndidi... The Zambians were always going to unleash Rainford Kalaba down our right... Rohr saw this and thought Musa may be skinned and may not cope thus he brought on Ndidi which was also a risk but a calculated one nonetheless. Rohr wanted a more physical battler at right back coz of Zambians' strength and stamina. Musa Mohammed will still feature in this role as the qualifiers goes on but we must make decisions based on opponents. Ahmed Musa's introduction also helped in pushing the Zambians back as the wave of pressure became too much. TheGoodJoe: 1 Like |
