TheGoodJoe: Yeah, you need to be glad about that, else you'd see etebo between the sticks in place of Akpeyi, ogu as our main man upfront. ![]() ![]() On a more serious note I'm pro-nacho anyday, anytime. I love the kid. Here are what rorh can achieve if he sends him to the bench. 1. Iheanacho may not need a whole 90 minutes to make an impact everyday. 2. He needs to remember that he's dispensable anytime, he still needs to fight for his spot. 3. He can read the game, capitalize on the inadequacies in the Cameronian defense and deal with them. 4. Cameroon, just like you and me would predict most of our starting 11 and would study and see them, understand their game, see how to stop them. Just one change would disrupt their strategies against us. Eg : Manutd vs Chelsea when Murinho dropped ibrahimovic for Rashford who had an abysmal goal scoring record in the league at that time. 2 Likes |

My point was Onyekuru was quoted as saying the CF role is his preferred role. I had seen it in him that he will thrive even better in that role. The modern day forward can play all 3 roles. We need to bury that idea of a natural number 9. In fact today's modern coaches have different preferences as to the qualities their chosen number 9 should have. Football is evolving faster than we think. TheSuperNerd: 2 Likes |

Joebie:You just pointed out what alot of people still do not understand about modern football, contrary to what people believe that when the going gets tough you need a tall target man when the reality is that target men are one of easiest kind of strikers to mark out of a game, because they can be predictable...but now the best coaches in the world prefer a skillful, technical,pacy and diminutive CF who has some certain degree of workrate and defensive contribution...people here amaze me when they say iheanacho is not a 9, Just because he is very creative?...The best strikers in the world are some of the most creative players in the game, Suarez, griezman and aubameyeng have exceptional vision which is one of their strengths, so would we now say because they have too good vision they should now be played as SS or AM when they have an exceptional goal scoring ability? They are not the most physically imposing but still get the job done, so why can't iheanacho also do so? His biggest strength in his game is his finishing, why not take advantage of that to the fullest while still having exceptional vision? 5 Likes |

Loogan: but when things get out of hand even the best teams employ a target man. when Barcelona starts losing a game, Pique goes forward and becomes the target man. When Man U starts losing a game, they start pulling long balls towards Ibra etc etc. the point we were making was that by virtue of how the match against south Africa was going, we needed a target man for our long balls. remember also that most of our midfielders were using long balls so why not implement a system/players that will utilise those long balls? 3 Likes |

Icon4s: that is why people like Komekn are complaining about Anichebe's absence and players like that, however I believe that even a midfielder can be a target man like Ogu for example but the problem is that you look at our entire bench and none of them can win a header so there we have a problem and that is why I am questioning the coach's integrity. 1 Like |

TheGoodJoe: this means that you have failed to understand what we are arguing. we are not taking about modern coaches here, we are talking about what concerns us, Nigerian teams presently. modern coaches in modern leagues might prefer a flashy 9 but here in Africa we still play this kinda game that makes it difficult for slippery strikers to thrive so you either adapt or get left behind. Nacho might be a wonderful striker at club level but for the national team playing in Africa he could be utterly useless there because he will be marked out. nobody is here to argue about modern coaches because this is not a thread for European teams 1 Like |

Mickael2: It easier to cast blames. Iheanacho was (still is) our best striker going into that game. What I thought the coach could have done was to Play Iheanacho and Kayode together in that second half. And then swapped roles between Etebo and Iwobi. Ogu ke? You think wining of headers is all only about height? And besides I hope you know that most defenders and midfielders, even those that are good aerially, find it difficult to keep the heading on target. They mostly head wide. BTW Anichebe for real? You mean this thing? 4 Likes |

Icon4s:Exactly Sir,that was single tactical decision rohr should have made by switching to a 4-4-2 in that S.A game when the long balls weren`t working out but man just exposed his below par tactical decision making by removing nacho when he should have played nacho and kayode together upfront.This was exactly what rohr did against senegal by playing them both in front and moved etebo to the left wing.This however led to our goal in that game as kayode moved to press a senegal defender who lost the ball to him while he in turn held up the ball for nacho to move ahead of him while also under pressure from 2 senegalese defenders before laying the ball for nacho 1v1 against the goalkeeper who tripped him in the box which led to our penalty in the game.But rohr removed our most lethal finisher for kayode whose patnership with nacho would have been better,with kayode pressing their high defence line and nacho attacking the space left by the defenders would have produced some goal but rohr messed it up. 2 Likes |

Cristiano Ronaldo to leave Portugal squad to be with newborn children. After Portugal's Confederations Cup loss, the Real Madrid star confirmed the arrival of two children overnight Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo confirmed he had become the father of two more children during the Confederations Cup. Portugal were eliminated from the tournament on Wednesday, suffering a 3-0 penalty shoot-out loss to Chile after a 0-0 draw in Russia. Ibra offers sneak peek of statue Ronaldo was left disappointed by his side's exit, appearing to confirm the birth of his two boys and that he would miss the third place play-off on Sunday. However, Portuguese media outlet SIC claim that he's had a son and a daughter, named Mateo and Eva. "I was in the service of the national team, as always, body and soul, even though my two children were born," he wrote on Facebook. "Unfortunately, we have not been able to achieve the main sporting objective that we wanted, but I am sure we will continue to give joy to the Portuguese. Santos defends penalty order "The president of the Portuguese Football Federation and the national team have today had an attitude that has touched me and I will not forget. "I'm very happy to finally be with my children for the first time." Ronaldo's first son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., turned seven earlier this month.

From the matches I'm seeing at this confedcup it will take African teams a bit of luck and more preparations to reach the semi final of the WC. And by the way, Nigeria still has a long way to go. See Germans with unknown names spoiling the party for Mexico. Last night the tempo between Chile and Portugal was overwhelming 1 Like |

Loogan: Tell me which defenders will not describe playing against any of these players as a nightmare. Players listed below are a defenders worst nightmare first of all they do not need a lot of support on thier own they can unsettle, disrupt and dismantle am entire defensive line up. Kane Ibrahimovic Benteke Lukaku Conte Balotelli Drogba (in his prime) I would consider your proposition as being without any substance what so ever. You suggest that target men are devoid of skill, speed, vision and lack creativity. The opposite is the case the best of them simply bring everything to the table. 2 Likes |
