i don't think ALGERIA or CAMEROON will go to Ndalo n get 3pts,the least they'll get is 1pt.

tbaba1234:
Etebo scored on his return.

Feirense won 3:0

TheGoodJoe:


Fantabulous news. I can see Rohr's grin from here.

As much as I am angry with the NFF. Rohr is a brilliant choice. Nice one from the NFF, Technical Committee and the good Samaritan paying Rohr's bills.

Icon4s:


I Noticed that gap at the left Back too.
Had Omeruo not made that error, he would have been our best defender for the game. Omeruo really worked very hard to cover for Echiejile's lapses. Also the LWF(Iwobi) should also do more to support the LB when under pressure

TheGoodJoe:


I have watched football for a while but today, Omeruo made me understand a term you use. Marshall the defence.

He was every where around the defence. Even helping Ndidi. He chose to lead that defence and helped Ekong stay tidy. The error just ruined his performance but he gave Leon a big challenge for that role.

I would not lie, Omeruo is now my first choice in defence. The big fear is his fitness. He is a liability when he not fit.

TheGoodJoe:


Very nice points. At the bar I was, someone screamed. This Ikeme is playing like Man City keeper. I laughed.

I think we have a big problem at the left back. There was too much gap there. The coach needs to sort Echiejile's positioning. Omeruo's work rate covered the gaps.

As for the changes, I felt the coach wanted Iwobi and Iheanacho to learn how to cope with the running under the sun. It was obvious they needed a midfield support. When the goal entered, it was time to protect the lead.

tbaba1234:


First choice, how

Omeruo had a good game but he had no excuse for the error. This is Africa, bad pitches are everywhere.

Ekong was very imposing in the air and made no fatal error.

Rohr is already a wealthy guy. He owes a hotel in france. He was owed for 8 months in Niger. He knows how Africa works.

TheGoodJoe:


Omeruo's work rate made Ekong stay tidy. Ndidi was less a liability than Echiejile when it comes to positioning.

To make it easier.

How many times did Ekong go to the left wing to help stop an attack? None.

Omeruo went to the right side of the field a lot to stop threats. That shows his mobility. There was a time Omeruo intercepted a ball up in the midfield.

The error just ruined a superb return. It was a bad bounce because of the pitch. It was costly but it does not change Omeruo's performance. Convincing.

IyanuFanoro:

and who would rohr drop for etebo?
Ighalo
ideye
simon
victor moses
i know he cant touch victor moses and ighalo so i think he will drop simon
will drop my preferred formation after takin a look at d algerians style of play

tbaba1234:


Errors lose games when you are a centre back. He made the same kind of error against south Africa. It take one moment of switching off to lose a game.

Ekong was by far the best CB.

TheGoodJoe:


Ekong was tidy, Omeruo owned that back. Omeruo was better.

TheGoodJoe:


Against South Africa, Omeruo he was unfit. Ranti over powered him. Omeruo just came back from an injury and played that game.

I have no doubt with a fit Omeruo, we would have qualified for the AFCON that year.

tbaba1234:


You can't say a person whose mistake caused a goal was better.

I will take a defender with a tidy game and no errors over one tht 'owned' the game and then commits fatal errors. Give me tidy defending all day.

Etebo Scores First Competitive Goal Since His Double
Brace Vs Japan At Olympics
Published: October 09, 2016
Oghenekaro Etebo opened his goalscoring account for
the 2016-2017 season as CD Feirense thrashed
Tondela 3-0 in the League Cup on Sunday afternoon.
The Nigeria international last played a competitive
game for the Portuguese Primeira Liga side on August
28 before his appearance today against Tondela at
the Estádio Marcolino de Castro (Santa Maria da
Feira).
He had returned to the treatment room after picking
up injury when he landed awkwardly during training,
and this ruled him out of the World Cup qualifier
against Zambia plus the absence of his residence
card.
In the 65th minute, Etebo, who was named in the
starting line-up, doubled CD Feirense’s lead, his first
goal in an official match since he bagged four against
Japan at the Olympic Games.

ETEBO IS BACK


this team is just 2 star studded

tbaba1234:


A fit Omeruo played today and commited a fatal error. If it was just 1:0... we would have dropped 2 points.

TheGoodJoe:


Ekong was brilliant but Omeruo led that back. You can imagine running to defend Ekong's side of the defence. Yes Omeruo takes the fall for the goal but he was a big part of the win.

What about the clearance of that shot from the cross from the left? That was from an Echiejile gap. Omeruo was impressive.

tbaba1234:


Wingback mistakes are not as fatal as CB and goalkeeping errors.

Omeruo played well today but Ekong was better. He dealt with the aerial threats and critically made no fatal mistakes.

Elderson played ok. He was not that bad.

TheGoodJoe:


I disagree. Echiejile was bad. We can not continue that way. He was skinned and off position. It was Omeruo's agility that covered the gaps.

Icon4s:


If Etebo can hit form before the Algeria game, he would be a great addition to the squad. However, i am not sure he would break into the starting line up. Reasons:

1. He has never played under Rohr and may need to be integrated with time.

2. Rohr seems to have gotten a winning frontline:

............ Ighalo

Iwobi.. Iheanacho..V. Moses

Etebo may be introduced if we need to switch to 4-4-2. Iheanacho joins Ighalo and Etebo plays behind the duo.

This is looking good. I like the competition in the team. I am really earnerstly looking forward to our next match.

Icon4s:


Do you know how many we would have conceded but for Omeruo's timely interceptions?

Go back to the replay of that error. If you actually played football, i dnt mean PS, real football, especially on a bumpy pitch then u would understand what happened to Kenneth.
