Idowu did very well..

Yes he did. Ebuehi was poor.

The two games we have lost under Rohr had Ekong- Awaziem partnership... I'm not blaming them oo.. but Omeruo should b the one to deputize for Balogun.. Save for the costly blunders he make at times, I think Omeruo is still a decent player in the GWG

I might have been judging you wrongly. Was expecting new names but here you are - seeing positives from the team. You're a true fan.

I agree with you on all front except for Joel Obi. We are better off without him. He's not offering anything different. Etebo and co blend better having been with the team for long.

forgiveness:


In a team you need good experienced players mixed with youngsters.

We are going to the world Cup with the youngest team is not enough.

However, I really enjoyed the game because there are both positives and negatives but I hope Rohr corrects the negatives.


we don't have a goalkeeper yet.

Ebuehi doesn't see to be good defensively and he found it difficult to deal with up balls and tricky players.

The defence is not solid without Balogun and Ekong.

Idowu is not as good as Aina. Aina is better..

We don't have strikers. Ighalo is not enough.

No creative or attacking midfielder.

Ahmed Musa is suspect.

No pattern of play.

No Mikel Obi, Victor Moses and Balogun, no Nigeria National team.

We don't have good replacement for Simon Moses and Victor Moses on the wings.


Rohr only selected players for training materials. He's not ready to bring competition for shirt into the team else he should explain why he brought in new players to the team without given them chance to prove themselves. Abi, wetin person wan play within 3 minutes.


Positives

Our midfield is good save for an AMF.

Joel Obi is an asset. Can play two man midfield as he did against Poland and he can play as a LMF in a 4-3-3 Formation. He covered Idowu well on the left side.

Ndidi is getting bold day by day and that's a good one.

With Mikel Obi, Onazi and Ndidi, we are good to go. Meaning, Mikel Obi plays the AMF role.

Victor Moses is a game changer.

Aina has a bigger heart than Idowu though Idowu offers defensively.

Iwobi is comfortable in the middle but he can't really open space. One for the future.

Awaziem is ok.

We can finally see our weaknesses now and make corrections now. That's a good one.

Is this the Argentina team oga icon79 is backing to win the world cup for his idol Messi?


O pari

The team they fielded was like their third team. Don't know why anyone is surprised by their loss.

This is criticism. No mocking, no wailing. No gloating

how do you know Omeruo-Ekong will work?

which third team?

Team that had Banega, Higuain, Otamendi, Romero, Lo Celso, Biglia....how e take be third team? If na so, we sef field our third team

[quote author=safarigirl post=66215618]which statistics says Obagoal is better than Kelechi?

I sure say you follow join for people wey like that posy ruling Kelechi out today, maybe he would have saved our blushes if he played today, but that one no consign you. Na so so Obagoal you go dey use disturb us upandan.


No be Obagoal mates play for Argentina today? Where were their goals? Is Higuain not Obagoal's mate?


First off, you ran down our team, a team you couldn't even be bothered enough to see Live, despite having the opportunity, now you are spewing the same regurgitated nonsense about a washed up striker that has how many goals in China?


I'm sure if Obagoal and Onomah, Aluko and co were in this team, no traffic would have stopped you from seeing the match.



It is you who is emotively prejudiced, stop stinking up this thread with your fake concern and hypocrisy

I didn't see his analysis when S.E were winning all there matches but see him today foaming analyst

Goke7:


Who is expecting this team to win the world cup in the first place. I even like what has happened. The team performs better when they are bashed so it's good for us

I don't wanna go there, but if you can dig, you will find your answer.

Tactically we failed Tonight. No cohesion, no intelligent and swift Link-up Plays except few flashes, no tactical off Ball Movements...... it's apparent we don't have a Team without Mikel.

I hope the Lapses are fixed before the Wembley Showdown!

Lessons learnt from Nig vs Srb

1) Joel is over hyped. People of this thread can over hype for Africa and the universe. I'm not saying you he guy is bad but simply overrated on this thread

2) Without Mikel, our Midfield is totally empty no matter who is deployed.

3) Moses is a catalyst. We lacked fire power, threat and creativity in the final third as soon as he left.

4) If e no be Ekong-Balogun, e no fit be like Ekong-Balogun

5) We don't have a Left Back yet. Idowu was below par/ average again. The 3-5-2 formation is where he can thrive. Although he's not bad for a bench candidate

6) Uzoho deserves to be number one in Russia.
aAmong Ezenwa and Akpeyi

7) Those who clamour for Ajagun, Aluko and some notable AMs have the right to do so.

8.) Rohr already knows his team 95 percent. Its evident as agu and Ajayi could only come in in the last few minutes.

9) Ighalo surely deserves to be our number one striker in Russia. Just put Mikel behind him and he won't lack the ball.

10) Iwobi is useless as a winger. He can only thrive in a more central position, and he can give you goals or assists. A talented player though but still has a lot to learn.
Moses Simeon is still the beat man in the Wing position alongside V. Moses.

11) Tyronne, a very talented player but really inexperienced and very soft/ light. Shehu still has a claim.

12) 3-5-2 and 4-2-3-1 is the most suitable and ideal for our team- To pack the midfield

Gernot Rohr, I hope he takes note.

Third team??



Here's their lineup....
Romero 22'
14 J. Mascherano 56'
26 F. Bustos 62'
17 N. Otamendi 39'
3 N. Tagliafico 68'
16 M. Rojo 87'
27 M. Meza 81'
19 É. Banega 62'
6 L. Biglia
20 G. Lo Celso 84'
9 G. Higuaín

Team that had Banega, Higuain, Otamendi, Romero, Lo Celso, Biglia....how e take be third team? If na so, we sef field our third team

This was the team they fielded. You really think this team would've beaten spain??

safarigirl:
how do you know Omeruo-Ekong will work?

It worked. Zambia v Nigeria in Ndola

safarigirl:
how do you know Omeruo-Ekong will work?

I didn't say it will work.. did I??
but now that u ask,I think it worked against Zambia in Ndola... Save for that Omeruo blunder of course...

That team looks strong to you??

safarigirl:
no mind them.


We will take solace anywhere o. After all, when we won Poland, we were being compared to how Spain and Germany played, so, why can't we compare now?

There's no need to even take solace. This defeat is necessary.

edi287:

What about the team that beat Italy


Was it their first team??


And the one that lost to Nigeria was their 7th team abi?

seconded!

Oasis007:


...... talking about other Teams' losses ain't gonna make us better than them pls. We should focus on analyzing the Team, figure out the Weaknesses and the Ways out.

I believe we gonna have more Realists on this Forum than the Optimists. This set of Eagles is for the Future. If you put too much hope on them to win the World Cup this Year, you are OYO!

Abi ooo. For the people forming Arséne Wenger of 15/16 season talking about "Cohesion" and "team spirit" as an excuse not to try out players are seeing it. We need an AM. Aluko should be invited for the next friendly. I don't mind trying out Samuel Kalu and Dessers for flair and attacking options.

Why?

What wing did Joel Obi play today?

I will never understand the rationale behind reading Komekn's posts

Habbaa Bros. So Joel Obi was responsible for the bolded? One player responsible for lack of tactical off the ball movement of the whole team?

Danielnino00:

And the one that lost to Nigeria was their 7th team abi?

Excuses. Excuses. The team that lost to Nigeria had Pavon, Dybala and Aguero and Di Maria. I didn't watch their game against Italy.

Gernot Rohr, I hope he takes note.

The summary of your post is this: stick to the team that qualified you for the world cup. As for the likes of the ajagun, aluko that you mentioned, they can do nada, it's all permutations and assumptions like we said of Joel obi

Lets just forget about Argentina and focus on fielding the best possible Super Eagles team at the world cup biko.

Besides that I like what I've seen from Onyekuru. I would like to see what he has to offer at our next friendly.

Joel Obi having a poor game doesn't mean he's a bad player. Anyone who has watched him at Torino will agree. Still think he's better on the ball than Onazi.
Regardless, I wouldn't be surprised if Rohr drops him for the WC and uses him more after the world cup.

Meanwhile, Mario Gomez at 32 featured for German National Team Tonight!

because he keeps posting like he has an agenda. hardly ever changes position.. says the same thing over and over again.. makes the same arguments.. I promise you pre Qatar 2022, It will be the same komekn lol
He has something to gain by being here.. certainly not for the love of SE.

Please, watch the two matches again and you will understand the role he was asked to play. He offers alot.

Etebor has failed to blend in recent games. The only game he did really well was against Algeria in the first leg. That's all.

Joel Obi has blended with just two matches.
