daveP:Ebuehi plays posh football. Has very good sense of rhythm and movement. Knows how to conserve his energy (though we still need to see him play a full match and also against African sides) It was good for Rohr to throw in Awaziem with Balogun and Ekong to shore up his confidence. He should use this to climb over his awful showing against South Africa. Next will be to try him out with either of Balogun /Ekong and also just him and Omeruo. 6 Likes |

Goke7:Those ones go humble now. VicMo must stop his selfish play if he wants us to score freely. I like the false 9 tactics. |

Mujtahida:hahahaha Mujtahida'my dear Aina'they want to tag you leader 'team Aina'pls you just need to end some arguments when is going to label calling meaning the person don't see any good in player you are trying to express your view on. Check it out Team Echiejele are springing up to attack team Aina,not new here we ve had team Ndidi vs Onazi,team Iheanacho vs team Ighalo,team Akpeyi vs team Ezenwa. Let see how it goes in camp cos as a veteran,Echiejele just need to work harder now cos Idowu and Aina are there for him to compete with, honestly good for the team. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Kog45:Nice trip down Memory Lane but I disagree on the form of Wilfred Agboni(basket) that time, he was actually given that epithet for a reason which is obvious. I can remember he conceded 6 goals in a LA liga game I think against Deportivo LA coruna where some argentines ply their trade. The argentines mocked the late agbonavabre and they wished he would be in goal against them so as to continue the onslaught. Dudu mayanna passed his prime in 94? I don't think so bro. |

Kog45:That's just it. I wont write him off just yet, I won't say he's not needed. Lack of competition spoilt Echiejile but I want to believe he would work to raise his game. We are building a solid squad and I'm all for a team that oozes quality so much so that if it possible, we wipe out the distinction between first eleven and second eleven so that anyone on the bench can offer as much as anyone on the pitch. 2 Likes |

Let's hear from the horse's mouth. This is a projection I have put the projected rankings in a spreadsheet. This is just an estimate. Let's expect to be ranked around 48 in December. Below you will find the old ranking, projected points for December and the new rankings. realpoacher:

daveP: That was why I was expecting Rorh to sub in Ebuehi for Iwobi instead of Musa against Algeria. He plays going forward very well, playing LMF won't be difficult for him. |

daveP: I think rohr will have to adress the vicmo selfish play though lots of folks still argue whether vicmo is selfish or not. But if you hear the English commentary of the highlights, you will hear the commentators commending the one touch play of the Eagles leading to the goals. Just hope vicmo saw the game 2 Likes |

The coaching crew should adjust expectations on Balogun. The guy seems to be reverting back to his pre - Gernot Rohr form. A back 3 of...... Awaziem...... Ekong....Elderson/Ogu, should be considered at some point. I will like a left-footed player on the left side of a back 3 like Chielini does for Juventus. I recall reading somewhere that Rohr played Ogu and Elderson as CBs in training. Elderson seems to be tailor made to this role in my opinion. He's defensively solid and hard to beat at times. He just lacks the pace to run the flanks. On the back of Balogun's display in recent times, the coaching crew should think outside the box and discard sentiments before making decisions. 1 Like |

daveP:There's telepathy between the two of them but until there's telepathy throughout the whole team from defence, to the midfield to the attack, we don't have a team yet. I judge a team as having reached a high degree of telepathy when one begins to see back heels, long range passes and fluid mass movement so much so that you are hard put to determine the tactics or formation, when a team begins to play instinctively, when team mates can intuit and anticipate the movement of their colleagues. When you hear the sound of music as they play, when their movement is like a dance and when they play with intensity and yet with Joy. Once a team reaches this point even average players become superb. It's spiritual Bro. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Goke7:My dear friend stop labelling guys here for expressing their views. I see you calling Mujtahida'dear Aina'now me my love for Aina,so you hate him or what. Pls talk football and let us have healthy discussion than name calling and i still repeat it Balogun was at fault for the Argentine second goal,just watched it again. Hope you read my comment on Aina performance so what do you expect me to say or do you think Echiejele w perform better than Aina,if you think so no issue it's your opinion which I respect but i w rather take Aina to WC than Echiejele, my opinion cos am not Rohr. OK you want me to say Echiejele is better, no my man Echiejele is not,Echiejele last good performance was 2013,till today he has been struggling to justify his inclusion. |

goldfish80:Question marks on Balogun. Since the double header against Cameroon he's not performed well enough again. Someone said he's out of form. I don't know but his showing has not been satisfactory meanwhile Ekong keeps improving. |
