BascoVanVeli: You answered the question you are asking. Onazi played that role when we took Mikel out Abi? Then Ndidi had to shield the defence. Mikel will most likely start our next qualifiers games. Same with Etebo. Now we need a defensive shield. Either Onazi wants to play it or not. |

TheGoodJoe: What is wrong with Mikel roaming? Is this going to be the first time he is doing it? Mikel is one of the finest DMFs in the world. We would need to try out different formations in the Eagles. And the prospect of playing Iheanacho, Iwobi, Etebo or Aluko is very enticing. All of them can give good passes. Never say never! Don;t be close-minded |

tbaba1234: Now this is where the scandalousness comes in, was he the only one with misplaced passes? U r to judge his whole performance not stick to one single mistake u saw. Every single player lost the ball at least once so why are we magnifying only Onazi? Why when there is a new player we all raise Onazi's hands as the one we drop? He actually had a fine and brave game but u can hardly hear that being said. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by BascoVanVeli(m): 8:44pm On Nov 14, 2016 |
TheGoodJoe: At least u r not the coach that would be harder to swallow than Trump |

BascoVanVeli: I think that phrase should go to you because we had different coaches during Onazi's time as a Super Eagles player. Most played him as a shield. Wanting him to play a more advanced role is strictly wishful thinking. No one will put Mikel behind Onazi. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by tbaba1234: 8:51pm On Nov 14, 2016 |
BascoVanVeli: His misplaced pass led to a goal but he made a few others. I am not hinging his performance on one misplaced pass. The defensive midfield area was the weakest part of our game and at some point Onazi faded in that game. I have not mentioned any 'new player'. I am giving you my perception of the game. 3 Likes |

joseph1013: The discussion is not Mikel Roaming. Mikel roamed in the game against Zambia. Iheanacho played attack midfield and Onazi shielded. The discussion is Onazi Roaming. Which is a No, No. 1 Like |

TheGoodJoe: I have no business with Onazi in this discussion. I rewatched the match today and he is not as bad as I first thought. This discussion is about Mikel. He can sit with Onazi and free up one space ahead of him for Iheanacho, Iwobi, Etebo or Aluko. |

TheSuperNerd: @Goldfish80 No No, Mikel played AM on saturday, Etebo played B2B. That Etebo have Horse plus carmel heart, saw him everywhere. |

TheGoodJoe: U r too ridged to be our coach. Rohr is flexible, he has already used him there and i won't be surprised if he starts there once or twice. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by tbaba1234: 9:09pm On Nov 14, 2016 |
Musa Muhammad is one player that needs to find a way to play regularly. When Omeruo got hurt, the coach did not trust him enough to put him on. If by next year, we have Ebuehi, Idowu, Ola Aina etc... I doubt, he will even get a look-in. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by BascoVanVeli(m): 9:12pm On Nov 14, 2016 |
tbaba1234: I said WE meaning in general people do that. We had Omuero at RB and u say DMF was our weakest, welp that's ur perception. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 9:29pm On Nov 14, 2016 |
joseph1013: I repeat, the discussion is not about Mikel playing as a pivot. If you have no business with Onazi, Why did you quote me? |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by joseph1013: 9:31pm On Nov 14, 2016 |
TheGoodJoe: Good. So you agree that Mikel can play as a pivot with Ndidi/Onazi/Esiti/Ogu? |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 9:31pm On Nov 14, 2016 |
BascoVanVeli: Used Mikel where. The point is simple. We need someone to sit and shield the defence. In our team, Mikel is not doing that because of his ticking passing. So Onazi should shield. If he does not want to, he should give way for another. 2 Likes |

joseph1013: What is can play? I said, Mikel played as a pivot against Zambia. The question is, is Onazi ready to sit and shield. 1 Like |

From the time, Ndidi came on, Nigeria took control. Rohr changed the tactics and left only Ndidi as the pivot. Onazi and Etebo played in front of him. Very interesting 1 Like |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by joseph1013: 9:38pm On Nov 14, 2016 |

We need two more players like ETEBO,
I don't know if I should give him man of the match 1 Like |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by joseph1013: 9:50pm On Nov 14, 2016 |
Napoleon55: I watched some clips of Aluko today after he picked up the Championship Player of the Month, and he was excellent. He can produced even more than Etebo did since he packs skills with his work rate. Then Nwobodo is an excellent choice too. Bundle of skills, hardworker. I want Rohr to give him a chance. 1 Like |

Rohr should invite Akpoguma and Ejaria |

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by joseph1013: 9:59pm On Nov 14, 2016 |
zuchyblink: Akpoguma says he is not interested. The guy is not even playing at a respectable level. Ejaria should be left alone to cement a place in the Liverpool team. He says his heart is with Nigeria, so hopefully he won't get 'stolen' when he becomes a star. 1 Like |

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 10:09pm On Nov 14, 2016 |
joseph1013: Someone said it was time we unshackled Onazi and give him a more advanced role. That is, have someone sit behind him to shield the defence. He used a term, a kind of Vidal. I disagree because with Etebo and Mikel in the side, it will prove difficult playing Onazi ahead of any. So, if Onazi does not want to sit, then he needs to make space for another. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 10:13pm On Nov 14, 2016 |
Invite Ejaria, cap him and then allow him cement his place at Liverpool. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by BascoVanVeli(m): 10:43pm On Nov 14, 2016 |
TheGoodJoe: U know i didn't mean Mikel so don't derail us. Yu said he should only play as a shield but the coach has used Onazi further up meaning the coach also sees that in him. So how can u say he can only play one DMF or sit. We have to be willing to try new things if they help. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 10:47pm On Nov 14, 2016 |
BascoVanVeli: I said, Rohr saw Onazi was not performing well shielding the team. Brought in Ndidi by removing Mikel. Unless you want unshackling as a Sub. With respect to our starting line-up, we have Mikel and Etebo. We need someone to sit. It so simple. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by BascoVanVeli(m): 11:00pm On Nov 14, 2016 |
TheGoodJoe: Wouldn't it have been easier to remove Onazi and keep Mikel? Are u saying the coach rewarded Onazi for his bad play? This has been done since Tanzania it is no fluke, the coach likes Onazi at the position if not Mikel it will be Onazi. 2 Likes |
