we should defeat this team by AT LEAST a 2-goal margin.

Goke7:
I just thank God for rohr's life, na here for nairaland dem for bury am today, dudes let's just keep more positive on this team than the negatives, just one goal then, the eagles were already buried here on nairaland.

The only two major downsides of today's game was the keeper and ola aina, those who feel elderson's time is over should rethink and I think it's safe to go with at least two defenders who were at the last world cup, omeruo and elderson. even musa we can't discard, we need some experience going into this world cup with the young talents at our disposal. we already have an experienced mikel in the midfield and with onazi too we should be fine.

Oasis007:




Kayode was introduced 5 mins to the End of the Match! He barely touched the Ball though, coz the Team was in defensive mode!

Kog45:
I don't think so,with what Ebuhei and Idowu displayed today and with Abdullahi and Aina,he can't make it,just too glaring.

Mujtahida:

Don't worry. Everybody would have opportunity to prove themselves. Rejoice for Ebuehi.

Where are those Ghanaian monikers that usually flood this thread?

TheGoodJoe borrow me your plank

TheGoodJoe:


When we talk of a classy team, we are talking of a team who not just dominates the game but has a history of high possession. A team that plays a possession-heavy style. Chelsea was not that kind of team.

My best of Chelsea remains Ancelotti's time. During that period, Mikel Obi was the best passer in the Premier League. Even higher than Paul Scholes. Unfortunately, Abramovic disrupted the balance of Ancelotti's team and later sacked Ancelotti.

Icon79:
All in all, today's game would be a massive confidence boaster for the boys.


O pari

kingphilip:
I think Ancelotti wasn't sacked per se

He came in as a make shift coach to cover till the end of the season and didn't get his stay extended the both times he was at Chelsea

Mujtahida:
Rohr does not understand his players lol

TheGoodJoe:
Argentina defender Javier Mascherano said: "Playing against a team of such physical strength you pay the price. They walked all over us... and when we tried to get back on the match we couldn't."

Goke7:


let others do the shooting abeg, onazi gives the team more balance, remember how France finished us after onazi went off in the last world cup

Joebie:
Ogu has shown he is not in the team just to make the numbers. He sat back with Ndidi. Something I expected. Now I bench is beginning to prove a point, and it doesn't matter who ends up in bench. As Safarigirl said every player must at least kick a ball before Russia.

Who remain? Nwakali and Agbo . Onyekuru and Kayode needs more time. They should plan a 3 day get together in December, and maybe we can play any assembled team or something. How about SE vs Naija based in UK?

SerVik:
All through the qualifiers, we were always the first to score, we never really got the chance to come from behind.
In the Afcon qualifier where we went down to SA, we could not recover.

This team showed alot of character and fighting spirit to come from 2goals down today.

Expect big things from this team.

sontoly:


Onazis position is still under contention, we have so many players that can play that role better than him and its clear we have started seeing it, he need to up his game. same goes to balogun he is unusually slow and will find it hrd to stop fast wingers. aina case is still been looked into, he is not even as fast as echiejile but idowu might be better than both, only time will tell who is gonna make it to worldcup.

Mujtahida:

I said give this man time ,give him time. He's doing in a year what westerhof did in four years . Is he the best?no.let's just give him time.

Icon4s:
Well, Akpeyi messed himself up by himself. His lack of composure again consumed him like a flame. Uzoho showed more confidence, though the defense became more composed after a tension soaked first quarter of the game.I no know why dem dey fear Argentina like that.

Rohr would have selection issues with the full backs.
He will have to make tough decisions as to who to drop.

Brian Idowu is ahead of Echiejile and Aina. I fear for Echiejile more so that he is not a versatile player. Players who are versatile are more sought after in modern day football.

In Shehu and Ebuehi our RB problem has been sorted out. Aina could also be given a shot at RB. But having 3 RB at the WC? Hmmm....At least one will need to drop.

Balogun had another slow start today. Ekong seems to have become the leader of the defense.

Iheanacho is a fighter. He played as though he was 2 players in one. Iwobi is pure class. No doubt an asset to this team. And of course Mikel remains the chief orchestrator.

Ndidi had a great game Ogu was a bit quiet but he covered his own part of the pitch especially in the second half.

The 3-4-3: This set up will definitely not favor the natural wingers as they will now have to fight for shirts with the RBs. Baring any injuries Moses is more than likely to be accommodated leaving one spot for the Full backs to play as wing backs.

Mikel-Iwobi-Iheanacho combo is a partnership that works.

Overall, a great game.

For those doubting Rohr's tactical abilities to lead this team in the WC, I think he has proven a lot tonight.

Congratulations Nigeria.

Goke7:


masherano wey iwobi use fry akara

Mickael2:



Argentina will chop us like raw eba before people realise that Rohr is not a good tactial coach. I mean how could he not understand that Shehu CANNOT provide width and a right footed player on the left side will only provide defensive width. Make I dey watch

junnyjake:
I'm seriously hoping with this result, we don't get complacent before the world cup proper.

Nice goal boys.

Soar! eagles Soar!

BascoVanVeli:
So 3 in the back can work in the national team ehn? so much for the Einstein's

Was surprised too. I THOUGHT someone said National teams cannot get the formation right during the short camp.

tbaba1234:


Not with Rohr as the coach.

BascoVanVeli:


His job is not to shoot but we already know him as a wrist breaker.
