TheGoodJoe: Rohr that I know would rather start Akpeyi. Uzoho is not tested enough to shoulder that responsibility. It is not just an issue of height. |

Cc oasis007 I ENJOY BEING ARSENAL'S NO. 10, SAYS ALEX IWOBI Tolu Olasoji The Nigeria international is pleased with his role in Wenger's squad, while hoping the Blues slip up in the English toplight title race Alex Iwobi has revealed that he enjoys playing in the no. 10 position for Arsenal. With Mesut Ozil, absent through illness in the Gunner’s 2-0 English Premier League win over Crystal Palace, the 20-year-old was moved to the central attacking midfielder position. And repaid Arsene Wenger’s faith by sealing the victory with his second league goal of the season. The Nigeria international who spent his youth days playing behind the striker said he prefers featuring in the much-coveted position and keeps learning to be at his best in that area. "It (No. 10) is where I have grown up playing and where I enjoy playing the most but wherever I am put on the pitch, I will do my best and whenever I get told to play any position I give 100 per cent,” Iwobi told Evening Standard. "There are a lot of players who can play No.10; a lot of ball players in the team. Every day in training I am always learning and trying to add it to my game." Asked about his plans and expectations for the new year, the midfielder said: "I haven't looked that far ahead. "I concentrate on every game and taking it game by game. I don't know, I just have to wait and see. "On the team's behalf we are focusing more on ourselves and our performance. "Hopefully if Chelsea slip up, they slip up but we have to make sure we win to keep up the title race. The games are coming thick and fast; we just have to prepare the same. "We have got the momentum, we are confident now and hopefully we can keep up our winning streak. I'm just trying to do the best I can. "If the team does well that is the main thing,” he concluded. --goal 3 Likes |

TheGoodJoe: You call it a friendly? Yes a friendly but friendlies have since gained importance with the introduction of the FIFA rankings and also more importantly the rankings are used for seeding in CAF and FIFA organized competitions. Friendlies are also used for team building and solidification. And also very importantly we are playing Argentina and we need to be at our best because if we have a disastrous game it can completely derail our preparations for the world cup. A dead runner game of yesterday and people have been making all sorts of comments about Rohr and the team. I asked you if it is your preferred line up or what you think Rohr will line up. The Rohr that I know will very likely not start Uzoho against Argentina. Reintroducing Akpeyi is not a retrogression. After all Alex Iwobi was initially dropped from starting line up and he is back in it. Iheanacho also started yesterday, is that a retrogression. 1 Like |

tbaba1234: Firstly, once a girl is under age it is statutory rape it is assumed the child does not have the mental competence to give consent. Therefore it is rape. Adam Johnson Sunderland fc is doing six years in jail his career in tatters. For having sexual activity with a 15 year old girl who was a few months away from 16. He didn't do the deed just small prelude. So understand it in those circumstances. It means Okpara ex wife was most likely manipulating the situation in her jealous fury. No wonder deh guy deh vex. |

With Rohr's Starting Lineup: How I would have played yesterday. 1. Ebuehi for Shehu 5 mins cameo OR PREFERABLY 2. Ebuehi for Etebo and switch to a 4-4-2 (Onyekuru move to SS, Ebuehi to RM, Iwobi to LM)

Joebie: Prof Joe! I understand your Point, and kinda appreciate your in depth Knowledge in the Game, but there is something I wanna make clear Boss; Managers and Coaches know what's good for the Players, they see them in Training, they know their capabilities and weaknesses. Can Iwobi play 10...?! Yes! But can he play the Position satisfactorily?! Not Sure! I remember Dudes claiming Etebo best Position is AM, he was tried there Yesterday and we all saw he's ain't made for the Position. Mkhtaryan claimed his best Position is 10, and Mourinho was playing him out of Position last Season. He gets his chances this Season, he was exceptional in the few Matches, but now turns out to be a ghost of himself. At Dortmund, he played mostly on the LW, he banged Goals and Assists, won best Player in the League..... yet he's not satisfied playing on the Wing at United. I believe he has seen the Light now! I may sound too rigid with my Submission on Iwobi best Position, but I believe his Handlers ain't making Mistakes by playing him on the Wing Sir. 3 Likes |

TheGoodJoe: And if uzoho messes up, what next?... Isn't it the same you that will call for his head?... My guy leave that thing. Ajiboye, Akpeye, Ezenwa, Alampasu, Uzoho are one and the same - average keepers, and quite sadly they are all we've got. So we have no choice than to manage them like that. It will be foolhardy and suicidal thinking of going to look for another keeper who we will take to the world cup aside these. And it will be more laughable to make your Uzoho first choice going to the Mundial. I would rather correct the errors of Akpeyi and Ezenwa than treading the options above. So tone down on your criticism of a player when he makes an error in a game. Please learn from history and work with what you have. 2 Likes |

Joebie: The exercise is to see who my best players are and to test thier competency. I would start Aina as RB we do not know how good Shehu is until thier is someone to compare him too. Back to my principle club form should be the basis for inclusion all things being equal. Ebuehi I really don't know how good his club form is. How outstanding is he in the Eredivisie. But this is a good test for him he should be in the mix. Ebuehi is not able to replace Etebo that's not his position. That's unfair it's almost setting him up to fail. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Joebie: 11:13am On Nov 11, 2017 |
I had modified the post. Please read it again. Would you rather start Ebuehi at LB? Modified. Ebuehi will play Right Midfield in a 4-4-2 formation comfortably well. And that means he could fall back to RB when Shehu advances, and vice versa komekn: |

Icon4s: Iheanacho has shown he can press and track-back, thus the Team can switch to 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 with Iheanacho becoming an AM. Because it will be easier to launch a Counter-Attack with Iheanacho playing behind Kayode. He gets the Pace and also can give a decisive Pass. 1 Like |

soetanoreoluwa: Yes Ndidi is a great Tackler, but calmness on the Ball and Confidence supersede Tackling; the major Reason I opt for Ogu. Besides, Ogu is a Threat outside the Box, he's likely to convert 1/3 Rebounds from the Corner Kicks. |
