Joebie: It is about building our best instead of waiting for foreign club coaches to make the decision for us. Oshaniwa played well for us and deserved better. While facing his challenges in the club, the National team handlers repaid his hard work and service with an unfair treatment. Abandoning him helped create the vacuum we are still facing in that position. |

Joebie: 30th March. What carried you there? By the way, with Rohr having Oshaniwa in camp, playing him in a scrimmage game with the Super Eagles, Rohr earned my respect. |

But my comment didn't say you did or you read wrongly? And no, he wasn't head and shoulders above Elderson two days ago, not passing any judgement yet until he plays full time on a decent pitch. Calling this performance head and shoulders above Elderson is an insult to all the years Elderson gave the NT bar recent form. Icon79: 1 Like |

I was expecting you to tell us where and when Iheanacho pressed defenders, you're drifting to Ighalo. So it was Mikel pushing the defenders backwards and no longer Iheanacho? Okay, kontinu TheGoodJoe: 1 Like |

Personally, I would prefer a midfield combo of: Mikel-Ndidi-Etebo (with Mikel partnering Ndidi in the DM and Etebo as the CM), but this last game hasn't really helped Etebo's cause. However, I would like to see Etebo play CM when Mikel (or a true playmaker) is on the field. Having said all that, I think that Rohr would stick with Onazi-Ndidi-Mikel combo in Russia. And I won't blame him either, though I still have concerns over Onazi's rough tackles. I am afraid that the Euro refs would punish such tackles ... esp if they feel that Nigeria is playing well.

Please you guys should stop that nonsense about Ogu having an impressive performance yesterday. His goal was fantastic but his play was mostly mediocre .... poor first touches, erratic passes, poor decision making etc etc. Whomever gave him the MOtM should be BANNED from reporting about soccer!

Bros, Aina gives me a lot more confidence playing that position than Elderson. And this is not to diminish everything Chiejiele has done in the national team, but Aina is definitely an upgrade on him. O pari somehow: 2 Likes |

TheGoodJoe: Onazi work output is terribly underrated. Over 2 legs against Cameroon, Onazi was one of the best players. I think Ndidi-Onazi-Mikel is probably still the best combo. 2 Likes |

Icon79: I have seen four sites giving Ogu man of the match and you feel they are all fools. I and some on the thread hinted it before the ratings. He was our best on the field. I actually watched the game with a former Sharks FC player. He even hinted Ogu was going to score. The goal was just a testament of his good play. |

Icon79: Go back and watch the match again without the initial tension with which you first watched it with. Ogu put in an impressive performance. I didnt see the match live but I saw the replay and did my scrutiny and I dont give easy credit and I confidently say Ogu was great against Algeria. |

tbaba1234: Ogu is a better ball player with great aerial ability and can score ,too. In addition to these attributes he is equally a fighter just like Onazi |

OMANBALA1: Ogu is not a better tackler and does not cover as much ground as Onazi. He does not have great aerial ability and does not score often. Yes, he scored a great goal but it is not as if he has a great scoring rate. 3 Likes |

Ogu and onazi comparison is a clear one,onazi is a better player in terms of work rate,tackling,brute,shields d back four better, d only thing ogu has over onazi is d eye for goal,WC comes once in a wyle,not known for scoring as such. |

Joebie:I don't think he hates Tammy....I watched bit of the match too.... he wasn't imposing and the play was barely average.... players like loftus cheek, tipper and co played better....Germany would have won that match.... from all I could see....I think he may likely not make Southgate world cup sqaud.. moreover if the coach and the FA are really serious....England can likely win the next world cup in Russia.... or better still Qatar 2022... if only they can translate the progress of their youth teams to their main national team I dont see Germany winning....next world cup.... to me....Spain, England, belguim (though the coach tactics still a suspect of which they can flop against a highly tactical south America side) and Brazil....winning it. |

Please guys, how many natural LB and RB do we have in camp? Also apart from Mikel and maybe a makeshift Iwobi, who can play the creative/attacking midfielding position for us currently in camp? 1 Like |

somehow:He is right, Iheanacho presses more then Ighalo. Watch the Nigeria vs Algeria in uyo. Matter of fact, Ighalo plays like he is trying to conserve energy for the kill. In the match thegoodjoe referenced, Iheanacho wasn't on the pitch when Mikel was doing the pressing. Ighalo is my choice to lead the attack but if we are playing a team with ball playing defenders that like to build from defence, then we'll need a workaholic midfielder like etebo to do the pressing which may leave us disadvantaged when it comes to creativity. It would be in everybody's interest if Ighalo adds that to his play. 1 Like 1 Share |

Very simple, can you post stats here to support your notion? Stats like "fouls drawn" by both of them. That should settle this. BTW, why only Nigeria vs Algeria match or is that the only match we have played? SerVik: |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by somehow: 10:07am On Nov 12, 2017 |
So we still have issues covering the LB position...(natural LB). I thought Idowu was a LCD? Is he fast enough for the LB position? I wish Aina was naturally left legged, using a makeshift RB and LB has many disavantages when you face demonic forwards who can turn and twist life out of you. I'm just afraid of life without Mikel in the worldcup proper incase he picks up an injury, who replaces him? Iwobi can't do that job, he can't hold balls for long. I wish I can also talk to Rohr, Joel Obi is needed badly. Humility017: 1 Like |

Icon79: Etebo played the CMF role very well against Algeria last year,I'd love to see him there again since he isn't good at AMF.. My biggest concern with the Ndidi- Onazi- Mikel combo is the lack of creativity... Most of the chances we created in the WCQ have come from the wings.... But I'm afraid Rohr might still stick with the combo unless he has the balls to drop Onazi for ogu at CM (That's if Ogu impresses enough) 1 Like |

somehow:to be honest that salisu yusuf eehh...I doubt if he makes any input at all.... that man is like a round peg in a square hole prior his appointment he did nothing spectacular in the npfl... someone who knows his onions as a coach and have been watching super eagles play for a while now....will not rule out Joel obi... your fear about mikel...I also hold... and for the LB position...be as it may I will still prefer aina to elderson...he has the pace and he can as well make good crosses and join the attack....Alderson can be messed up by any intelligent winger...saw his play against Cameroon... I am not sold on him... the hitherto options for the LB slot... are still evolving...nura in as Roma and amuzie playing in the Swiss league now... though I would have wanted deji...he is still very small...as for me I won't mind invite him as cover up....he is good in free kicks and nearly passes moreover he can also play as a DM. let's see how idowu integrate into the team...he is a LB. |

Ok brother, we just have to make use of what we have now. We have time to bring in backup for sensitive positions for now. Salisu isn't a bad coach though, what he if suggested players but never looked into? I just need a backup or confirmed leg for LB incase Elderson become worse off. Aina and one more leg needed. As for mikel position, it's very needed o. Thank God I'm not the only one worried about the lack of a true replacement in the current squad. One more thing, what if Enyeama doesn't improve or get to play regularly? What happens to our GK postition? Yes Akpeyi as 1st choice or promote Uzohor to first choice? Ezenwa is a no-no when it comes to first choice. Is that plateau United gk worse than what we have currently? Humility017: |
