CHAIIIIII.... I DON'T KNOW WETIN HIT SIR JOSEPH TODAY... I know he sees these things but he hasn't expressed it this way.... Kaiiiii.. My Boss... You are in "The Zone" ![]() This is what I have been talking about and was so angry when we beat Swaziland 2-0 and people were celebrating as if we were not expected to win that game. LOOK... THERE ARE STILL MINNOWS IN AFRICAN FOOTBALL... The focus should be on ourselves and ensure we play to our full potentials always. NO VICTOR MOSES, NO ISAAC SUCCESS, NO LEON BALOGUN, NO NATURAL RIGHT BACK (MUSA MOHAMMED), NO ODION IGHALO... AND THREE POINTS IS STILL OURS IN "CONVINCING FASHION".... ABEG!!!! I smell the fear factor coming back and coming back fast indeed... Let's just keep the focus... ![]() joseph1013: 1 Like |

TheGoodJoe:if u ask me to choose between MUSA MUHAMMED n NDIDI 4 now against Algeria, I would choose NDIDI,but,OMERUO seems like the the better option,not taking anything away from MUSA,but he is still need time in the SE. |

Iheanacho (Ian Nacho) What an impressive first half. He also started slow but definitely was getting used to the pitch. When he found his bearings, he was amazing. Some quick footworks gave us some great chances. His combination with Mikel was amazing. He dropped deep to make the midfield unbearable for the Zambians. What a brilliant goal. I walked out off the bar with a huge smile on my face. Maybe City will not miss Nasri after all. Iheanacho lost energy towards the end of the game but we can not blame him because of the hardwork he did under the hot sun. The pitch helped in making him tired. Iheanacho showed fight towards the end to play through the tiredness. What a goal. |

Napoleon55: I believe Omeruo would play the Right Back role if Balogun was on the pitch. With Balogun back for the next game, Omeruo is the best option. As for Musa Mohammed and Ndidi. I do not know but the dribbling Ndidi received does not have part 2. I am not sure Musa Mohammed would fare better. |

Simon "Daddy" Moses. Just like Echiejile, the pitch did not do him Justice. I laughed at his atrocious crosses and passes. He found it difficult coping with the ball. He needed to keep it simple and pass the ball. The pitch was too bad to run with the ball and cross. The coach needs to let Simon and Echiejile, they need to have room before attempting to cross in such conditions. Trap the ball to kill the motion and cross it. They did not need too much running. His work rate was a big plus. He helped the defence a lot. It was clear why Rohr picked him over Musa. He also switched wings some times. His fight to get the ball back and his shot over the bar was commendable. But, Mikel was in a better position. He should look up before shooting. |

Iwobi, pure guts. Played on the bad pitch with confidence. Like Mikel and Iheanacho, he started slowly but grew into the game. What a brilliant half. He made some good passes but the bad pitch limited his visionary play. He showed good positioning all through the game but he needs to help track back on the left. Echiejile goes off position sometimes and Iwobi tracking back can help. Like Iheanacho, he got exhausted in the second half. Mikel and Onazi put in a lot of shifts to help the young players cope. Nice positioning for the goal, gave the team the much needed confidence and boost under the hot sun. Powerful throw from Ndidi. |

Ideye. What a miss. I chuckled when he missed the chance. Saved by the offside call. No denying, he worked very hard for the team. Kept the Zambian defenders under pressure. His presence upfront gave room for Iwobi, Iheanacho and Mikel to exploit. Simon should learn how to drift in to make combinational plays with the midfield. Ideye drifted to the wings during the game to stretched the defence. The Zambian defenders marked him tight but that created chances for the forwards. Good work rate, missed that strong powerful presence up front but he should learn to convert his chances. |

Icon4s: We need to see the coach's plans for Musa Mohammed. Rohr has contacts in Germany and France. I believe he will help him secure a club to allow him grow. Just like Westerhof used to do. If we can put in some strong performances and qualify early, the coach can give Musa Mohammed a run. One thing, I hope the coach keeps calling Musa Mohammed and make him keep training with the team and experienced defenders. |

Most chances created today by Nigeria came via and even through Iheanacho..... And he capped it off with a goal.... He was involved in most of our dangerously beautiful moments going forward...

Anderson Esiti. What a player. Very promising for the few minutes on the pitch. Help shut the midfield threat. Played in an organized way with the senior men in midfield. Showed he was a good passer but... The pitch messed some of Esiti's passes. We have a special player in him. Hope he develops well. |

Why do we always complain about the bad pitch,then i ask,is our opponents immune to bad pitches but us,if the bad pitches affects us,it should also affect our opponents to our advantage sometimes,not the other way round. n don't tell me our boys r professional,that's main reason why they should adapt to any situations. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 5:33pm On Oct 09, 2016 |
Ahmed Musa. Senior Man. He showed quality when he came in. Was more comfortable than most of our players with the ball. Won few fouls and helped defend. He brought the much needed freshness to the side but he was not long on the pitch to cost more damage. Overall, he showed experience and quality. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Icon4s(m): 5:34pm On Oct 09, 2016 |
TheGoodJoe: I believe this qualifiers will be intense till the last game. Algeria and Cameroun are our strongest opposition in this group. Our last game is in Algiers, Jeez. After the game in November, the next qualifiers game would be in August 2017. There would be so many International breaks between March and July next year. That is enough time for Musa Mohammed to put his club career together. We expect some good friendlies between March and July next year. Rohr can do some experiments from those friendlies. 1 Like |

Napoleon55: The Zambians were far comfortable on the pitch and Under the hot sun. However, the pitch affected them a lot. We should watch Kalaba on the return leg. Most crosses and shots he made were wayward but, it was due to the bad pitch. |

Icon4s: I agree with you but if the coach adopts an offensive approach in one of the games, like the Tanzania game, we still need Musa Mohammed because he is good Offensively. I think the coach acknowledges the strength of the opposition, that is why he opted for Ndidi today. I feel without much club action, a player of Musa Mohammed's quality needs to work with the team to stay sharp. He looks the future for that role. |

We missed Leon Balogun, Victor Moses and Isaac Success. I hope Victor and Isaac do not have trouble with the NFF after this game because that pitch was too risky to play there. Although, Omeruo showed passion coping with the challenge of that pitch. I hope the coach tries to sort the administrative mess created by Pinnick and Dalung. We have some special talents and need our support to excel. This is a tough group and we do not need distractions. Congratulations Nigeria for a fine start. Showed a lot of promise. Still waiting for the much anticipated debut of Isaac Success. |
