Where you there? And it's nowhere online. I remember Rohr saying Agu came in at a time the match was high in intensity... never said Agu had a disappointing match. Kog45: |

Icon4s:It would be difficult to get Tammy considering his involvement with England's u21. Guy is neck deep in. There are so many factors involved and even for the young man I know this is going to be distressing. |

Joebie:Exactly. Never read where Rohr said that. In fact it is precisely because of my readings on what Rohr said about Agu that I'm beginning to feel he sees something in that guy most of us ain't seeing. Even after the second leg against Cameroon Rohr defended his decision to field Agu ahead of Ogu in his Channels TV interview. Me thinks he wants to groom that guy. Remember Rohr handled a young Zidane, Lizarazu etc 2 Likes |

Petrobros: Ah. OK o. Those that have been long on this thread knew how I spotted the young Alex Iwobi and clamored for his capture. I first saw Oghenekaro Etebo as a Warri Wolves player. I recommended him to the national team. I personally stood for Shehu Abdullahi when many wanted him out just because he plays in Cyprus. As I said I don't recommend too many but I do so when I see the potentials. 5 Likes |

Joebie: 43' - Ighalo with a half-chance under pressure from Tembo, but he volleys off target. 71' - A great counter attack for Nigeria, but Ighalo opts to try and cut back rather than shoot first time and the move breaks down! http://www.nigerianeye.com/2017/10/live-commentary-nigeria-vs-zambia.html?m=0 Unfortunately, I do not rewatch matches to start highlighting times of incidents.

I actually read this yesterday in another source but didn't want to put it here because some of us dont know how to analyze. But I must say it now since it's here already.. This guy is just being professional about responding to the rumors. Good PR! He never turned down Nigeria. He only said the report wasn't true. And the fact is Tammy never said he had switched to Nigeria. Even Pinnick never said Tammy did. You don't choose a country with mouth, but action. The process is on. @ first bolded. Keeping it under wraps. I said this yesterday @ second bolded. The block brackets is suggestive. "Nothing has happened" actually means nothing is official yet. The following remark after the bolded is feigning ignorance. soetanoreoluwa: |

Mujtahida: Sure I know. The think is I am not comfortable with Ighalo being our top striker in the WC. He is not clinical enough. And also Iheanacho is not getting the desired game time at Leicester. We need a striker that is very active in a competitive league. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Joebie: 9:11am On Oct 10, 2017 |
hahaha I remember those situations very well. If you followed my ratings and post match analysis you will notice I mentioned those. That so called half chance, the angle was also limited when the defender challenged. I won't call that a half chance really, and his choices were limited. Many strikers would have either ballooned the ball like he did ,or the defender would have blocked. Special players though would have converted. Even if you want to call it a half chance, how could you really fault him. The one he scored against Cameroon, was that a clear chance? The second, he would have had a decent chance to strike with his left foot, than delay.. Most of our players were under pressure to win. Even Rohr said this. Ighalo had a decent match all round.

Afobear:I understand that most fans deal with the fear of failure by lowering their expectations. I watched our match in a viewing centre and one man was talking down on this team comparing them to the Eagles of the golden beat. I got into hot talk with him. I was surprised when we scored and he came to shake and hug me. That moment I realised that all his criticisms then was just his own way to deal with the pressure.

Joebie: I am not trying to crucify Ighalo. Just pointing out the bias criticism Iheanacho gets. Ighalo worked hard but as I pointed earlier, I am not into that big number nine thing. It suits conservative football but far from the best modern approaches that rain goals. |

Icon4s: I agree with that too. Ighalo needs to work on getting sharper while attacking. His decision-making looks slow to me and shaves fraction of time when he is to react and produce goals. At least he worked hard but not convincing. |

Good. I don't buy into those comparisons of Ighalo and Iheanacho. But I must say all-round play Ighalo has more strengths than Iheanacho. Iheanacho, however, has a better sense of positioning and quick reaction.. TheGoodJoe: |

Joebie: What is announcing switch? The NFF chairman took the liberty of contacting him, meeting with him. Is the form text book? He has not made up his mind. Finito. That means, he is still waiting for Tunde's proposal. He is even saying he is still focused on the U21. That means, he is not even filling the form. He even said in that post he does not even know what is going on. That boy should fear God. 4 Likes |

Mujtahida: That one. I call him "jam body striker". The problem is we have so many strikers but none is a stand out. Iheanacho, well he is still up and coming but his rise has not progressed as much as most expected. He is the only striker among the lots we I have that is most likely to make the WC squad. Ighalo too may squeeze through. We need some one like Abraham. Having Abraham and Iheanacho together in your team would be mind burbling. 1 Like |

Joebie: I disagree in all round play. Ighalo has power and hold up play. Finish. Nacho is faster, presses better, a better passer, a better crosser, a better finisher and has more movement in and out of the box than Ighalo. Ighalo suits a conservative system. Iheanacho suits and offensive one. |

Icon4s: I still believe Onyekuru is better hitman than Tammy. The challenge Onyekuru faces is variance. He suits a similar system like Iheanacho but Tammy can function in a conservative/defensive system. |

Na because I no list wetin I mean by all-round.. Abi didn't Iheanacho come in against Cameroon in Yaounde? I don't agree with the bolded though.. I think you are a little extreme with your comparison. As Mujtahida rightly said, there are some gray areas. TheGoodJoe: |
