Eagles Rated Vs Argentina wetinhappen.com.ng Nov 14, 2017 9:20 PM ![]() Completesportsnigeria.com’s ADEBOYE AMOSU rates the Super Eagles players following the team’ impressive 4-2 comeback win against Argentina at the Krasnodar Stadium, Krasnodar, Russia on Tuesday… DANIEL AKPEYI 3/10 Offered the chance to impress following his unimpressive showing in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa early in the year, he failed to make the best use of the opportunity. He committed an elementary error that led to the Argentines first goal and was poor all through. OLA AINA 5/10 A real baptism of fire on the international scene for the young defender. The left-back struggled to cope with the pace and trickery of Ever Banega and it was not a surprise he was pulled out at half time. CHIDOZIE AWAZIEM 6/10 A better showing from the big defender compared to his previous outing against South Africa. Looks sure to get more game time ahead of the World Cup. LEON BALOGUN 5/10 The FC Mainz defender was badly positioned for the Argentines’ second goal. It was an average evening for the usually reliable central defender who was exposed by Sergio Aguero and Angel Di Maria. WILLIAM TROOST-EKONG 7/10 Was shaky like some of his teammates in the first half but recovered well and helped stabilize the defence after the break. He was excellent after the break. SHEHU ABDULLAHI 5/10 Average performance from the usually brilliant righ-back who was duly substituted after the break. WILFRED NDIDI 6/10 Performed his task well especially in the second half and helped in protecting the defence. Came close to getting a goal in the second half. JOHN OGU 6/10 A decent showing from the Israeli-based defender who has no doubt enhanced his chances of making the final World Cup squad. MIKEL OBI 7/10 A superb display from the skipper of the team. Mikel led by example and showed his importance in the team with another impressive performance, holding the midfield together with composure. ALEX IWOBI 8/10 Came to life after the break following an insipid display in the first half. The Arsenal winger scored two beautiful goals and was a constant threat to the Argentina defenders who struggled to cope with his pace and intelligence. KELECHI IHEANACHO 7/10 Ihenacho scored a sublime free kick and provided two assists to help Nigeria record an unlikely victory against the Albiceleste after going down 2-0 earlier in the game. SUBSTITUTES FRANCIS UZOHO 6/10 The young goalkeeper showed great composure beyond his age. Proved he has a future in the team with a good performance. TYRONE EBUEHI 6/10 Showed his class with a superlative showing after coming on in the place of Shehu Abdullahi after the break. It will be difficult not to hand a starting spot in the team’s next game on the basis of this performance. BRYAN IDOWU 6/10 What a debut for Idowu who scored Nigeria third goal on the night. He is surely a big asset for the team. KENNETH OMERUO 5/10 Took the place of Leon Balogun in the second half and showed his experience by helping ward off the threats of the Argentines who were determined to get a suitable result from the game. AHMED MUSA 5/10 Made an immediate impact by providing the assist for Alex Iwobi’s fourth goal. Showed he still has what it takes to play for the team. KAYODE OLANREWAJU NOT RATED 5 Likes |

Mujtahida: I do not remember reading that part. Maybe it his opinion from what he notices from the style of Rohr. He can be timid in his set-up and style. I hope he noticed how fierce we can be with bravery. I think Rohr is deeper tactically than lots feel. However, I think because he does not have enough time to work with his boys, he is building it up slowly. I earlier pointed Jardim of Monaco and Mancini in his City time. They were timid and later grew their teams into fierce attacking sides. 2 Likes |

TheGoodJoe:Yes, I remember we had some argument on his ability. It was the day you mentioned Manchini and Jardim and ended by saying we should give him time that I saw you understand the matter. What's happening is organic, it's a slow build. Thankfully we have close to seven months before the World Cup. 1 Like |

"We are very happy and excited with this development. This is the first time since I started playing for the senior team that I would see everything regarding preparation and bonuses and allowances put down in black and white and a binding agreement executed. It is reassuring that we now have a Federation leadership so committed to making everything work that they arranged this meeting and allowed the players to contribute and then set out to sign the agreement,” Mikel Obi said. 8 Likes |

Yea he has Ebuhei and Abdullahi to contend with but don't be surprised if you find out he is better than the duo cos Ebuhei that a lot don't reckon with even the coaches has split us now,some for Abdullahi some for Ebuhei just cos of today's match. Am just to happy for this team the competition for positions is building up,i know Shehu w be watching his back and Echiejele w now know that Idowu and Aina are there for him to compete with not like before strolling to camp as only LB 9 Likes |

junnyjake:My brother, forget being polite for a second. Akpeyi made a big mess of himself, I'm unapologetic calling him an idiott. I earned a reputation on this thread as an Akpeyi's defender since the South African game. But on the back of this performance, he deserves any insult that came his way. We are talking about a man who have played football at the highest level for more than a decade,playing across several levels in the national team and the continent. I mean, how can this guy be so star struck on sighting Aguero that he totally forgot the basic law of the game. It's akin to seeing an experienced doctor forgetting a pair of scissors inside the belly of a patient after surgery. I wonder why he wasn't red carded in the first place? Akpeyi is a fo^ol.. No apologies there my brother. I wish Rohr gave him a resounding slap in the dressing room. 8 Likes |

I'm so angry with DSTV ehn... I went to the viewing centre like 5 times today,they didn't open...I even ran to the home of the center owner to inform him that AIT and NTA will show the match ![]() Had to switch off my phone due to anxiety.. switched it on 3 hours later and rushed to nairaland...I saw 2-4 on FP ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I'm very happy for Ebuehi ehn ..the dude finally got his chance and he didn't let it slip.. TBH,Rohr will be faced with a selection headache for the final 23 man squad.. Brian Idowu also made his mark.. As for Akpeyi, Sir Icon79, me and u shall visit a native doctor very soon to make sure he is never invited to the super eagles team again,cus it seems like our goalkeeper trainer are too lazy to do their job...BTW,I saw the highlight and I'm so impressed with Uzoho.. f##k those who will say he isn't experienced... let's groom him and he will turn out good... 9 Likes 1 Share

My ridiculously early prediction of Rohr’s 23-man World Cup squad... ![]() GKs - Uzoho, Ezenwa, Alampasu (if Enyeama doesn’t return) Defenders - Idowu, Echiejile, Ebuehi, Aina, Ekong, Balogun, Omeruo, Awaziem. Midfielders - Mikel Obi, Shehu Abdullahi, Onazi, John Ogu, Ndidi, Joel Obi/Mikel Agu. Forwards - Iwobi, Iheanacho, Kayode, V. Moses, Onyekuru, Ighalo. Having a 6ft 5in player, in Uzoho, as our goalkeeper is massive. He will gobble up most of our opponents’ crosses, for sure. And if he plays at the WC, he will become the tallest Nigerian player ever at a World Cup. 5 Likes |
