forgiveness:


They will be back up for Joel Obi and Victor Moses and don't forget that Iwobi and Simom can also play that role.

Joebie:
That's what the formation says. But where did you see them play for the most part of the game?

teeezy00:

Ok.. .thanks

oloriooko:

Sorry it was 5-3-2 in second half

oloriooko:

Oh! My mistake 5-3-2 not 4-4-2 thanks bro

Oasis007:




Boss.... I'm ain't actually following the Formation, but what's the Evident on the Pitch. He's simply tracking back, pressing, same as Iheanacho.

When Musa and Kayode came in too, they maintained the Discipline and the Game-Plan. Mikel was actually the AM on the Pitch in a Triangle Midfield Shape with two DMs behind him.

Joebie:
I think Ebuehi is better. You don't need too many games to make a statement. He did it in just 45 mins today.

tbaba1234:


It was flexible... 3-5 2 when attacking

5-3-2 when defending..

See how far upfront, Ebuehi and Idowu were going..

Neimar:


m not jare..m sayin d truth

Neimar:
u beat a mediocre argentine team witout messi
u shoutin dem go hear am Russia2018

face teams like brazil, germany spain, france first

OMANBALA1:
Ebuehi na real slow poison ooo. Fear quiet people ooo because you go run when dey unleach their demons.
I think people erroneously undermine Ebuehi because of his frame and quiet nature but dude is so classy with the ball on his feet.

How much ground does Ndidi cover?

We are becoming a good counter attacking team under rohr...

Mujtahida:

The guy is lithe. I have hunkered for this boy. I felt sad sometimes. Na tbaba1234 dey always encourage me. I'm so happy this boy, this boy came good. I am so effing happy

oloriooko:
At least NFF seem to have given Rohr free hand to work with little or no interference
I see Rohr carrying out experiments trying to perfect different formations for different oppositions

Joebie:
Defensive pivots yes. But Mikel didn't go forward like he usually does.

safarigirl:

Eat humble pie

Icon79:
Yea, it definitely wasn't intentional. Otamendi sold it very well to the ref - he's an Argie, after all



O pari

krattoss:
Iheanacho is a baller and sharp striker...but please, dude should improve on his footwalk...common, can't he take a payer one on one ... he should expand his horizons..I think @ hats why rohr tried him from the wings agains Algeria. ..

He should learn some footwalk and dribbles and also work on his touches and controls ..then he would be lukaku 5.1

Abusule007:
This match today have cleared some people's doubts today. Those that wanted to see how the super eagles game will react to while they're on the loosing side.

I think what kept the super eagles going was team spirit. I was streaming the match on beIN USA and I overheard the commentator kept repeating it that the team spirit of the super eagles and was incredible.

I know with what we've done to the Argentines this evening. England,Germany, Spain and France etc will all want to play us before the world cup

Kalapizim:
Ihenacho should be encouraged to keep talking those set peices, That way he will build up more confidence. i dont understand the critics towards Rohr for trying him from the flanks, after all its what the coach set out to achieve by trying out new things.

TheGoodJoe:


I do not get you because Mikel Obi moved forward a lot of times. Especially in the first half.

kennysville:
This game just served to show that right personel in right positions is all we need for things to work. And not sentiments. Aina is a good player but deploying him to the left was a bit hard for him to cope with. And that will probably make his rating to take a hit. Just unfair on the dude.

We still need more creative midfielders. If possible as much as 5 in the team. This game also showed that the best should always play at every point in time. I was kinda flustered when I noticed that Brian was left on the bench in the first half. And the Argies took notice of the fact that we had a weak left side and thus exploited it promptly.

I do however have a stick for Rohr..... He should learn to play his game and not be defensive or as some say here, conservative.he shouldnt play like Mourinho who sits back to see what Man city has to offer before making appropriate changes. In some games, we might not be soooo lucky to come back from 2 goals down. We should have soomany options and jokers to choose from but over and above, prosecute with the best legs as the good joe and Forgiveness will always say.

Final thought.... Competition for spots is what the team needsat this time. See how Akpeyi lost his spot on a platter of (definitely not gold)....whatever . I have always said it that the dude is no use to us. It seemed like being harsh. Same goes for Omeruo. We need an extra left back to support brian. We also need play makers. Now I believe those who feel Ogu is slow and not too good can give it a rest. Pace isnt everything. Keeping things tidy as a holding midfielder is key. The dude did just that.

It will be a remiss of me, if I do not mention what a wonderful strike from Iheanacho Kelechi today. He should keep it up. Keep working on his set pieces. Kudos to the whole team for mental resilience. To the coaching crew too for correcting their errors immediately. GOD bless Nigeria!

Mickael2:



we lost the first half though because of the reasons I pointed out. Remember the sharp goalkeeper I mentioned? It caused the first goal. The unnatural fullbacks? Caused the second goal and thwarted our attack. Kudos to Ogu though he did very well contrary to what I expected and Iwobi was fantastic in that position. Mikel is Mikel, hopefully Rohr learns that we can make do with a better RB than Shehu and Simon Moses and Onazi are not needed so much
