Couldn't agree more.. Iwobi really needs to work on his pace and crossing or better still convert to an AMF.. He isn't a winger at all
I believe his uncle wil ginger him as usual. this would have been a game to prove to weng wrong

Welcome back Thesupernerd, glad to see your breathtaking comments. I thankGod you also spotted the need for Iheanacho's SS/AM position. He is definitely better at it. Iheanacho in the CF role is like a leader who acquired leadership skills which was not initially inbuilt in him to some level . He doesn't have those innate personality qualities of an ideal CF. An example is how you said he wouldn't have scored that goal Ighalo scored. For him to have ran in a way that Mikel could easily find in with such pass and so on. I have watched him. Playing him in a CF position can be likened to taking a fish out of water and placing it on a field and expecting it to thrive on the field like it thrives on the water. But in this Rohr's favorite 4-3-3 formation, it will be okay to keep playing him as a CF , but that will be if there is no better striker. I'm glad someone still shares this opinion with mesmiley

As regards Onazi, before the game, I said mikel should ensure discipline between Onazi and Ndidi and I was elated by what I saw. I also like Onazi making those runs to deliver crosses. It reminded me of his cross to Ameobi that resulted to the second goal against Italy in a 2-2 friendly tie.

Above all, it was all the Lord's doing.

good a.m to everyone.

Mozez Praize did OK but the other local voice was that of Raphael Chukwu Ndukwe, an ex-international. I no know who send am go commentary box.

Gone are the days of good commentators. The likes of Legendary Ernest Okonkwo. Fabio Olanipeku too did OK. Hameed Adio was also OK. There was also Manasara ilo. Aisha Falode ran commentaries for the Great Super Falcons of the 1990s. All of the NTA and Radio Nigeria (Okonkwo).

You wan try radio commentaries those days? Person wey get high blood pressure no fit listen to radio commentaries. Ball go dey centre circle commentators go begin shout. And by the time the ball reach the 18yards box the shouting from the commentator will be such that everything in your house would be vibrating already. " A chance for Nigeria!!!! it is a....!!!! it is a....!!!! o no!!!!!!!!! over the bar!!!!!!!!...."

Then away games of WC qualifiers were never showed live. We only listened to live commentaries. The Cameroon Vs Nigeria game of 1990 WC qualifiers, That was the last game of the qualifiers. We needed just a draw to make it to the world cup. There were several reported cases of people fainting in their homes listening to the commentaries during that game. The tension was too much and then the radio commentators now worsened it.

Elders in the house I know you can recall those memories. Hahahaha

Good news.

So many options at right back (Shehu Abdullahi, Ola Aina, Tyrone Ebuehi, Musa Mohammed, Nura Abdullahi, Moses Odubajo and Dominic Iorfa Jnr) but very few at Left back. undecided

Despite putting up a decent performance, Elderson Echiejile still gives me the jitters. We need quality options at left-back too.

Now this three remain: Mikel, Moses and Leon but the greatest is the Super Eagles.
Mikel is the heartbeat of the Nigerian team. He has the power of presence, clout and his contribution is immense not to talk of his deep, instinctive vision-truly worthy of an Eagle. Love him, will always do.
Victor Moses is a viper, a python and a rattlesnake. He brings in so much vibe, power and steel. God bless him
Balogun is truly a baale of war. How a man can be so quiet and unobtrusive yet firm, passionate and strong is really quite something. The defence is his domain. Our Chinese wall.

Everybody played well with verve. There was that constant humming of determination, excitement and motion in our play.

And to all of you for your abiding faith in our team, insightful comments and for keeping this thread alive- you guys rock.

Spot on man. Cheers to you too.

Radio commentary is never for the weak hearted. Person for don count fingers for 4 or 5goals and the commentator will be like Nigeria 1 Cameroon 0. Those days sha.

Question for Everybody.
If Leon Balogun and Ekong were to be English players, what do you think their market values should be like? Considering that the likes of John stones and other British CBs went for a whooping £50million a season ago.

Cc: Icon4s, TheGoodJoe, Joebie, Komekn, Mikron, Do4luv, Safarigirl, Certitude, TheSuperNerd, Kog45, Dedebanky85, Samueldo, Joseph1013, Danycrusoe etc

if they were of English decent I expect nothing less than 20 to 30 million pounds on their head but like someone had stated Komekn is the perfect person to do justice to that

They will play to regain lost pride. But yesterday we just devised a new trick in this match up that could mean they would remain our baby for a long time to come.
