TheGoodJoe:


How will Kelechi Iheanacho score a hattrick when no one could lay a good final ball? It was so atrocious that final balls were going to the goalkeeper. Food for thought.

Then Rohr wouldn't have invited the same midfielders hitting the balls to the goalkeeper don't you think? Why call up same midfielders and 3 new strikers?
You have even placed Kelechi as your dream AMF. If he was in red hot form, thegoodjoe I know will rather die than put out a line up with Kelechi behind the Cf.

Yeah, totally agree. Rubbish team.
That's why they are top of their very difficult world qualifiers group with two wins from two games.

I am expecting a degree of professionalism, concentration and discipline from Ndidi to know he is the main DM we do not need him to going gung ho and foraging forward leaving the defence exposed. I expect good link up play from Onazi and tireless running literally box to box. Mikel is exceptional but i have doubts about his match fitness and ability to keep running box to box for 90 minutes.

That is why Ndid and Onazi will have to be the water carriers freeing up Mikel to do his thing. I expect our right side wing back Ola to have an almost telepathic understanding with V. Moses and a goal from Aina should not be shocking if he overlaps effectively.


If that be the case then I will go with Ndidi for the DM role and I will play Onazi as the CMF but I doubt Ndidi maintaining discipline during the course of the game because he loves going gung-ho and foraging forward, it's in his blood.


If FIFA clears Aina I think he's the best man for the RB slot.

Full Pitch Training : How Super Eagles Lined Up, Ndidi & Ighalo On Target

Published: August 29, 2017

Based on the Super Eagles full pitch training session on Tuesday evening, it's difficult to deduce which of the players in camp will start the game against Cameroon on Friday, except in defense.

Dele Alampasu, Ola Aina, Uche Agbo, John Ogu, Eddy Onazi, Odion Ighalo, Shehu Abdullahi, Obi Mikel, Victor Moses, Oghenekaro Etebo and Tyronne Ebuehi played for the team not wearing bibs.

The players in the team wearing bibs were : goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa, defenders Chidozie Awaziem, Troost-Ekong, Leon Balogun and Elderson Echiejile, Wilfred Ndidi, Aaron Samuel, Kelechi Iheanacho, Tony Nwakaeme, Ahmed Musa and Mikel Agu.

The game finished 1-1, with Ighalo finding the net for the team not wearing bibs and Leicester City's Ndidi scoring for the other team.

This particular session lasted approximately fifteen minutes, and the players returned back to their hotel after the exercise.

Honestly u played d game,first choice always undergo special drill b4 full training session.I remember Eagles camp at papendal in Holland then,Rufai was always going through d special drill while Agonavbare and Agu going through normal training.

Hope Akpeyi rise up to d occasion coz we don't need fumbling goalkeeper in this match and with new goalkeeper trainer,i believe psychologically there w be an improvement on d side of goalkeeping aspects

5 things we learnt from team's training session

pulse.ng

Aug 30, 2017 3:55 AM

These are five observations made at the training session of the Super Eagles on Tuesday.



The Super Eagles had a training session on Tuesday ahead of Cameroon's game  (Twitter/Super Eagles)

23 players trained at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium on Tuesday, September 29 as the Super Eagles began preparation for their 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Cameroon.

Following the arrival of the likes of Victor Moses, Leon Balogun and John Ogu on Tuesday morning, coach Gernot Rohr had his full squad for training later in the evening.



John Mikel Obi tackles Wilfred Ndidi in training  (Twitter/Super Eagles)

The training session started with some fitness run and stretches led by the fitness coach before the players were divided into two for a game of one-touch football.

The team with the highest number of consecutive passes won the tie. After that, the goalkeepers who were working on their own joined the rest of team for a training match.

These are five things we learnt from training

1. Aaron Samuel is needed against Cameroon

CSKA Moscow forward Aaron Samuel was called up to the squad following the injury toAlex Iwobi. The forward trained with the team on Tuesday and it was clear why he is a better choice for the Super Eagles for the games against Cameroon than Iwobi.

The CSKA Moscow man was menacing in training; fast with a good left leg and a physical presence, his is the type of striker that can trouble the Cameroonians. Why Iwobi’s place in the Super Eagles is not under question, Samuel needs to be on the team more often. Well, he has to prove that he deserves call-ups like this in games.

2. Super Eagles new goalkeeping coach is seriously working on the goalkeepers

New Super Eagles goalkeeper trainer Enrico Pionetti was seriously working on the goalkeepers for most of Tuesday’s training session.

Pionetti spent most of the evening working with Daniel Akpeyi, Ikechukwu Ezenwa andDele Alampasu separately from the group.

After Akpeyi’s horror show in June’s home defeat to South Africa, Pionetti is trying to make sure the Super Eagles goalkeepers don’t suffer a similar fate.

3. Elderson Echiejile is the only left-back in camp



Elderson Echiejile  (Catherine Ivill - AMA/Getty Images)

Echiejile, it seems will be one of the first names in the Super Eagles starting XI as he was the only left-back in the camp.

During the training match that was played, it was clear why he keeps getting games for the Super Eagles.

In the training match, Tyronne Ebuehi, a right-back played in left-back for one team while Echiejile played for the other.

Judging from Echiejile's last few performances for the Super Eagles, competition is needed in that position.

4. William Troost-Ekong and Leon Balogun central defence pairing tried out



The Super Eagles had a practise match in training  (Pulse)

Rohr seems to have decided on the Troost-Ekong and Balogun pairing in central defence which he tried in training.

Although they conceded a goal courtesy ofOdion Ighalo, Ekong and Balogun played well together. They communicated well and showed signs of a good partnership.

5. New boys settling in well

The likes of Ola Aina, Anthony Nwakaemeand Ifeanyi Matthew got their first training session with the Super Eagles but they did not look out of place.

The boys hit the ground running and it was good to see.

Aina has trained with the Super Eagles squad before but with an almost different team.

I don't know ooooooo but e bi like say he is just coming back from injury hence the need to check his fitness level.

It's not necessary because he is destined to start the match as some may presume.
