in fact we didn't go forward much in that first half, until we conceded the second. I think most of the blunder -- except Akpeyi's -- was due to positional awareness in a new 3-5-2 formation. tbaba1234: |

forgiveness:Read this Nigeria EBUEHI’S PERFORMANCE AGAINST ARGENTINA DIDN’T SURPRISE ME – Gernot Rohr The impressive performance of ADO Den Haag Dutch-Nigerian full back Tyronne Ebuehi against Argentina didn’t come as a surprise to coach of the Nigerian team Gernot Rohr . Ebuehi put up an impressive display for Nigeria in the 4-2 win over Argentina after coming on as a substitute for regular right back Shehu Abdullahi with Nigeria trailing Argentina 1-2. His performance down the right pegged Argentina backward, which helped the Eagles to find their rhythm and hit three goals that gave them the win in the friendly game. ”We always know what he is capable of doing. He ( Ebuehi) has been with us for some time now, we won’t keep him if we have no faith in his abilities", Rohr said. ”I’m not surprised because I know his qualities and what he can do. He did well in the second half just like goalkeeper Francis Uzoho and Brian Idowu during the game”. Maxwell Pius November 15, 2017 Source: owngoalnigeria.com |

Joebie: It was a new formation but the personnel were not equipped for it. Idowu plays as a wing back every week for Amkar so he is very suited. Ebuehi is pacy and loves running forward. Shehu and Aina are more defensive minded and that does not suit the position. 4 Likes |

Joebie:GBAM on your point number 1 and 3,Balogun always gives himself unnecessary problem playing ball instead of one time pass,hope you remember how he was dispossessed in that match. Point number 3 made my day i don't even know Mikel caused it but i believe it's normal in football but what was the reaction of our defenders especially Balogun, he was already out and his pace caught him up. Thanks and God bless for these points. |

Tbaba1234 take note of the bolded cos you've often stressed that our transitions are quick BY KUNLE SOLAJA. WHY NIGERIA DAZED US- PAULO DYBALA ![]() Juventus striker and Argentina’s forward, Paulo Dybala, has explained why his team lost a two goal advantage and crumbled under the four goals Nigeria scored in response. The Super Eagles of Nigeria on Tuesday came from two goals down in 36 minutes and fired full cylinder that led to the crumbling of the highly respected Argentine side. He told Argentine television sports channel and online publication, TyC that after the two goals, the former two-time World Cup holders wanted to go for the kill. From the publication in Spanish which the Sports Village Square translated into English, the Juventus star said: “We wanted to find the third goal. But instead they fought back”. He also gave as excuse that Argentina crumbled under the physical strength of the Nigerians. “On the counter attack, they (the Super Eagles) were lethal and we suffered the speed,” said the striker.

MetalJigsaw:The proof of the pudding is in the taste. If Balogun is our best defender, then he should prove it. No room for sentiments. If Elderson or Omeruo had played as badly as Leon did. They would have been totally decimated by fans. Leon must pick up. Period |

kennysville: 'Right personnel in right positions is what we need to make things work and not sentiment' Sir, I salute. What else can be added or subtracted from this? The quotation and the @bolded butressed my points on rightful choice of players in their rightful positions, and having many options to choose from. Mikel Obi is the only creative mildfielder in the team yet Joel Obi, Raheem, Onomah and Abdul are wasting away. See Ogu today, he showed maturity and experience but how do we know some of these aforementioned players are not better than him if we don't see them play as we saw Ogu yesterday? For the left back I don't think Aina is comfortable in that role. He should be played in his prefered RB role if we want to see the best of him. Moreover, Deji of Frakfurt is a natural LB ready to play for the national team. Hope he gets a look in one of those friendlies. 2 Likes |

Especially as we did not have dedicated wingers, much of the wing play have to be done by wing-backs. And you are right about that, he plays as a left wing back for his club, and funny enough he is right footed like Aina. Wing backs need to be fast, because they are supposed to cover a lot of distance. tbaba1234: |

I'm not sure what you are getting at. CB is CB, regardless of the formation. Awaziem, Balogun and Ekong all played as 3CBs yesterday. Question, when Idowu played as a CB did he also play as the wing back? tbaba1234: |
