Loooollll...... Anyway shaa.... The youngsters are giving a good fight shaa oooo.... But Chile is really showing class anytime they get up front on the attack. A really sweet game. But I can tell you that apart from Draxler... the likes of Joshua Kimmich (no.18), Ter Stegen (no.22), Timo Werner (on the bench) and a few more out there today are future First XI players for die mannschaft.... (hope I got the spelling). And Viola!!! My Beautiful German Youngsters have scored... I told you I won't be surprised if they win or draw but Sincerely I expect Chile to nick this. Icon4s: |

1-1. Good work Emre Can. That is how to be a leader in the midst of young players. Onazi take note. |

I was opportuned to watch CMR play today. Though it was barely for 20mins or so. *MY DEDUCTIONS* I'll be highlighting few things i discovered from my short stint infront of the Tv set. *STRENGTH* the camerounians strength lies much in their Pace, ruggedness, with strength and play a sort of compact of football. The team possesses fast and pacy wingers in Bassogog and Moukandjo which presently, I don't see any of our fullbacks matching up against them strength for strength and if care is not taking they can wreck havoc from both sides of the wings... Another major concern for any attack is the compactness in which their defence is organized... *HOW TO NEUTRALIZE THEM* -we need to deploy a 4-2-3-1 that can easily switch to 4-4-2 formation tactics cos playing wide against them will be futile. -Iheanacho should either play as an AMF/SS else his service won't be needed in the 9 role. -Iwobi should not start this encounter. -A Sharp and fit Victor Moses will be needed on the LW-his solo runs and dribbles will be needed to unlock their defence and providing cover for Echiejile. -Mikel should play the CMF role with Onazi/Ndidi playing the DMF. -Our DMF should be concern more with shielding the defence and allow the CMF to do the attacking job-this is very important as our full backs is our weekest link - Finally, No one should be played out of position. 2 Likes |

I like this comment So much. Well said Chief Icom4s ![]() Onazi did his best on the day.. yes.. He tried to make amends and give the team a fighting chance... but truth is he didn't let his experience flow well for the team. Icon4s: |

Who plays RW?? You are focusing on just Bassogog?? If Moses plays LW, who plays RW? Also.. who plays no.9 if Nacho, according to your deductions, is to play 10 behind the striker? AIG07: |

TheSuperNerd: The Germans have looked promising all night in the build up to attacks but that their defense still looks very vulnerable though they improved as the game progressed. The German goalkeeper is their best player in this game thus far. Chile are still favorites to win this. This German team even as fragile as they are still look good enough to beat Cameroon |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Icon4s(m): 8:01pm On Jun 22, 2017 |
AIG07: I have read countless articles on how Iheanacho should be played as an AM/SS. So who is that player that deserves to start as the CF of this team? |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 8:05pm On Jun 22, 2017 |
True shaa... the Germans are playing three at the back and they really struggled for the most parts. But they have been able to adjust a Little but really have Ter Stegen to thank for Chile breaching them just once for it could have been more. Chile are still favorites to win... I concur but mehn... I am not entirely ruling out a shock draw or even win for Germany's Young guns oooo.... And against Cameroun... hmmm... Well make I no talk until matchday. ![]() Somebody has already tipped Bassogog to disgrace Hector.... Hahahahahahahahaha... until matchday abeg. Icon4s: |

Hahaha, when I asked if Echiejile still played in the SE, that was more like a sarcastic comment cos he was anonymous against SA and made so many mistakes especially his passes. Again this was how we kept on hyping our squad against SA. We need to focus on our weaknesses and fix them. |

I knew you would come clear that question... I saw it as sarcastic too. But I am sorry you are not doing a good balanced job of pointing out how we ought to prepare for the Camerounians. You are just hyping the Camerounians' strengths and saying nothing of their weaknesses.... And hyping our weaknesses and saying nothing of our strengths. That is your way of saying we should just forget the game naa... and go home coz it is a lost battle already. well done. Lazyerudite: |

TheSuperNerd: kayode can come on in the second half ideye is not getting a fair treatment to be honest anytime he plays for us we always score he might not be scoring for us but he creates chance for others to score 2 Likes |

You mean quick passing and mobility in the final third... Yes... TheGoodjoe and I have long hammered on it... if you have been here from the beginning. But in most of your posts, you are saying they will hold down our pacy players like you are Hugo Broos himself.... You are also sounding like this because of the south Africa game. Being Negative and being pessimistic is not being objective. I have dissected the Camerounian team and spoken about heir strengths and weaknesses.... I am not hyping the Nigerian team but showing where we do stand a good chance. Now that is being soundly and roundly objective. Lazyerudite: |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Lazyerudite: 8:30pm On Jun 22, 2017 |
TheSuperNerd:Yeah I might have my own fears but that was the only match I really got to watch and analyse since the match against Algeria as they don't even air the friendlies anymore. I was really following the trend prior to the match due to my tight schedule and imagine the reduction in expectations. Oh least I forget, why can't the Kayode dude play 9 and give iheanacho the free role? |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 8:30pm On Jun 22, 2017 |
No.... We are already "over-preparing"... Rohr is even spying on Cameroun in Russia. He is studying their games and the team with his team of analysts. We must not analyse without educating the others reading in ghost mode about what we are up against and how we can actually tackle them. We must be balanced and not spread the air of pessimism just because we wanna look humble ahead of the game. It will only lead to more depression. Nigeria is not there yet... but the Cameroun I saw today and against Chile is also not there yet and we can beat them with the Generals (Mikel, Moses, Balogun, Ikeme Plus even Young Success) back and if we play to our strengths and play with tactical awareness of their own strengths too.

It is okay to have fears.... but as analysts we must not be too emotional. And Yes Kayode is a keen option for the no.9 role but we still have about 2months 6days to go to August 28 I think... so too early to call. If Rohr reverses to Giving Nacho the same role he played against Tanzania and Zambia, Then Kayode is the most likely candidate for the no.9 role. Time will tell shaa. Lazyerudite: |

Icon4s:how about kayode Sir icon4s.... the lad can do well upfront considering the fact he has the strength and a good finisher too I will prefer him above ideye...reason because he is more better finisher... nacho playing as SS or Am...will allow room to shine...as he can as well switch wit the CF when occasion demands... more so his shot are well accurate and wit precision.... he will have a heyday 2 Likes |

The fullbacks remain our problem really... we just have to keep making do with Echiejile on the left coz we got no other replacement for now who can step in for such big game. This is where the issue of identifying good left back options for the team must be done in view of future games but for the Cameroun encounters... it will be Echiejile and Hopefully the lad to play LW that day (preferably Etebo) will help him out just like Moses did when he switched with Iwobi to help out Echiejile battle Mahrez. Balogun also covered that left side of the defence real good that day the few times he came up against Mahrez. For the Right back role... I really cannot say for now who should start. Will it be Shehu? Will it be Omeruo? Will it be Aina ? (a rookie!! Yikes...if his allegiance switch is finally done and dusted--- Experience crew will get me for this). Or by a wild thinking, Onazi for RB? I don't know mehn... the fullback roles are problematic. And we will be up against Cameroun's might from those two wings... Hellish! All the same, I hope Rohr sorts out his notes on the Camerounians and come up with a really good tactical plan and also the right players for each role. We need the players who will deliver the goods on the day. I hope Rohr gets it right this time. Lazyerudite: 1 Like |

[right][/right] TheSuperNerd:That is our major problem and nothing more as far as I am concerned. Deal with those two and we can build on that. All other positions can be filled and our formation altered. I thought we were after one Aina and Idowu dude |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Humility017(m): 8:52pm On Jun 22, 2017 |
jotey:not every time he plays...we always score remember against Spain...he played and we never scored... please I will prefer kayode and nacho to start...nacho..as AM or SS... while Kayode or Success as CF... in the second half...iwobi and musa can be introduced... iwobi probably to replace nacho |
