Joebie:
Did he even play as AM? I think we may have switched to a 4-4-2 Iwobi was still at the wings..

nope he went central in the second half

gustav25:
HAHAHAAHA...IS THIS YOUR TEAM NIGERIAN ? GROUP STAGE EXIT SURE PASS

YES THIS IS OUR TEAM and we're proud of them.

Joebie:

Iwobi was still at the wings..

You got it! We switched to 4 - 4 - 2 when Simon was introduced. Musa was moved to a SS Role while Simon played as a LW.

I was expecting us to maintain the 4 - 3 - 3 Formation with Iwobi moves to the AM Role, but Rohr didn't wanna miss the Opportunity to experiment another Formation.

I agree. but it was important we tried all these formations.. I hope to see the real SE in June.

Oasis007:


Rohr should stick with 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 as our primary Formation and 3 - 5 - 2 as an Alternative.

Goke7:
Hope the Joel obi fans can allow us rest now lol

Two foul throws, too bad

They'll just show up after few days with other names.
They don't give up.

Danielnino00:
Gabriel, Ajayi and Eze aren't getting another call up.. [b]Joel Obi might b given another chance to redeem himself]/b].... As for Agbo,Rohr owes the fans an explanation as to y he keep calling him up and not play him...





I expect to see Onyekuru,Samuel Kalu, Sadiq Umar and Dessers included in the preliminary WC squad in May..

with which game? How many changes did Nwakaeme get?

Abeg, we no get time to dey give Joel another chance before this World Cup. He should thanks for coming


And now that Rohr has seen Ajayi, can he call Dessers already?

post - mortem

Even with Mikel in the team we would struggle, just not as badly.

We have an average bunch of players barring a few individual top talents who do not play as a team.

Team cohesion zero, Uzoho lacks confidence in his defence , never plays out from the back. We have discovered that our so called super wing backs are not as good as we once thought. Ebuehi was found out BADLY. Ndidi has diesel in his engine non stop working, tenacious but his passing suspect, tackles 1st class. Iwobi flatters skill upon skill but no end product. We really lack strength in depth.

We need to go back to the drawing board, we need a TIGHT COMPACT DISCIPLINED TEAM WITH COHESION even with average players we can become dangerous.

I am grateful i didn't drive the 200 miles to watch this police game.

tbaba1234:
We win or you learn.. The performance was much better but we missed the Oyibo wall..

Iwobi was very good...

No Victor Moses, Mikel or Balogun in the second half is a bridge too far.

Joel is no AM...

I disagree. Nigeria didn’t play well. We were horrible tonight.

Our attack was DEAD like door nail. I’m not bothered about the goals conceded but what about our attack, creativity, cohesion?? There were none.

How many times did Ighalo and co trouble the Serb keeper? How many chances did we create? How many shots did Nigeria have on their goal?

Bad crosses from Musa etc, poor and unintelligent crosses from Obi and co. We were lucky against Poland and it’ll get worse against England if the errors are not remedied. Lots of folks think England are bad, let’s wait till June 2nd. Nigeria will play the game of their lives to get a result there.

Another chance for joel obi will be too costly. You guys should forget the guy abeg. He can't gate crash into the world cup team, far from it

We don't need those players mentioned above aside onyekuru,odas wont offer anything new as far as I am concerned, let's search for a potent No 9 dt would assist ighalo.

safarigirl:
was that not when Ndidi wasn't in the team?

Like I said, if he needs Mikel to play well, we can do without him

Ndidi ought to sit deep (DM), but he played much as a Box2Box (CM) in the Match. I wasn't fazed cos I believe this is the Moment for Rohr to understand the Players better.

Thus in a 4 - 3 - 3 Formation, Ndidi as a DM, Joel as a LM and Mikel as a RM gonna be a perfect Combo.

gustav25:
Hahahahahhaahahahaah.......and people think say Dem go win worldcup ....hahahahahahah





Is this ya Team?

I still have that conviction. This is not how we play. It was a friendly. So many players today are not our starters.

COOL10:
. I'm sad about this loss too but to insult our players or suddenly become unpatriotic cos of this loss,that I won't do. Unfortunately that is exactly what 90% of Nigerians will do,especially those always waiting for moments like this. Like you said: This life sha

There are insults which aren't good but there are also honest criticisms which are exactly what real patriots should be dishing out. I saw the 2nd half of the game so expect my observations and critique when I have the time to share.

I started feeling bad when I heard Kelechi wouldn't be able to play today, so, welcome to the gang

Anyway, win or lose, I laugh it off. Last time I felt bad over our loss was against SA, because na SA

Spain enjoying Argentina...5-1.

Spain 5-1 Argentina

safarigirl:
I wonder what you would say of Argentina


Make una calm down abeg.

You are the one who needs the calm, mate, I never criticized them, to me, the loss is a welcome development.

Spain 6-1 Argentina....

Ouuuccchhhh......


Isco hattrick.. Right after Aspas goal

SerVik:
Iwobi from the middle is the koko

Sharrap and sleep, you're the reason naija lost.

gbosaa:
Very good result for the Super Eagles. A lot to take home from Croatia, Icelandic and Argentine spies watching at the Hives.

Croatia fans would be very happy and relieved tonight.

I think we will lose our next match against England at Wembley.

Because we lost today abi? When we vex,give them 4:0 now,you go change mouth. I dey watch you oo

Spain raping the argies 6-1. Our own still good o

safarigirl:
see as the great Argentina dey collect from team wey no even dey Top 10....and some Nigerians are complaining that they are losing to a team over 20 places above them in FIFA ranking


This life sha....

Don't mind them. 2-0 is good.

TheLoneCitizen:

you see me making ridiculous assertions? Nope

Goke7:


Joel cannot gel with this team, forget it

He can..... in a 4 - 3 - 3 and 3 - 5 - 2 but along with Mikel and Ndidi (DM).

Goke7:

Didn't expect Spain to win 4-1 but expected Spain to win Argentina

hahahaha!!!!!

This is the Argentina one oga is confidently banking on for the World Cup.


Bad as we be, we better pass Argentina. I no think say anybody fit score this our team up to 6 goals

Ebuehi can never bench Shehu, take that to the bank. Joel is not going to the world cup. Ogu is too damn slowww. Echiejile needs to be given another chance cos Idowu is too ordinary. Without Injury prone balogun we are in trouble at the back. Ekong and Awaziem cannot give a simple pass.
Positives;
Onazi and ndidi were fantastic today.

I'm so happy we lost this game.
This will serve as a wake-up call to our boys. I see a better and stronger S.Eagles in subsequent outings.

Joebie:
I agree. but it was important we tried all these formations.. I hope to see the real SE in June.

So what are cin now.....ABA MADE ?


OGBENI,START facing d reality


Beside,d only thing MUSA DID ON THE PITCH today was to COLLECT THE ARM BAND FROM ONAZI


D Question is y do we still invite dis MYOPIC MUSA GUY
