BascoVanVeli: A sports analyst once said Rohr's major problem is sticking to known failures (either in tactics or personnel selection). At the time, I thought the statement was ludicrous but now, it seems the man has a point. 1 Like |

elyte89: Abi. Even on the radio today, all people kept saying was "when Mikel comes back...bla bla bla...if Mikel was there......bla bla bla" Mikel won't defend for you or score twenty goals a game. He's not even known to score so much goals. Haba 1 Like |

Well, for those interested in where the 2 friendlies have taken us to in the FIFA Ranking, we gained Ranking points from 609 to 635. We are expected to move 4places up(from 52 to 48). |

darkelf: I think this is harsh on the coach. If you say he is conservative, yes. All through Mikel years in Chelsea he was DM but any time he plays for eagles he is an AM, were the se coaches then sticking to failure concerning Mikel? With mikel already in the middle of the pack, iwobi surely will be drafted wide if they must play together |

darkelf:Normal for people to say Mikel Mikel.......they know he is not a goalkeeper or defender neither attacker but his presence will uplift the team more but the team still need to do it without him cos with that we talk of a balance team. |

somehow:what baffles me on NL is that you people will make assumptions first, then, when someone turns it on you, you will say it doesn't count. Is it not you that claimed that because common Serbia won us 2-0, Spain will win us 10-0? Was that not you making assumptions? Now, you want to tank the same thing you did If I am wrong, you are wrong as well. Spain cannot win us 10-0, so, no need to even assume the possibility Before making a statement, reason it the other way around, lest you contradict yourself unwittingly |

darkelf:that is why he is just a sports analyst and not a coach. He knows nothing and you shouldn't subscribe to the ideas of people who know nothing. That is how Oliseh was analysing on Supersports, only for them to give him work and he flopped. I don't take anyone without a coaching certificate and experience seriously, because all they can do is run their big mouths 1 Like |

Weaknesses: No creativity from the midfield without mikel, No good striker to bank on, Keeper issues (I still don't have faith in Uzoho he clearly can't keep us in the game with those wow saves like Enyeama always did), Positives: Our defence line is almost there. Awaziem had a good game & we still have balogun. I believe Ebuehi wasn't fit, nevertheless Rohr should make the position competitive &use the best player we can get. My Opinion: Martins, Ighalo, Henry Onyekuru should be tried for the top 9 position. Questions: How do we get a backup for Mikel Obi? Will Uzoho come out better before the WC starts proper? 2 Likes |

Icon4s: Mostly agree with you with some exceptions. But you do not proffer any solutions. KC is not a bonafide No 9, he can not play as a lone striker. That's a handicap, it's not part of his skill set to bully defenders, he doesn't have blistering pace or technical wizardry, finishing a resounding big YES. But without support he can be anonymous. Iwobi lacks maturity, skill upon skill without doubt but end product in the final third very suspect. Ekong and Balogun the best CB combination we have. Aina is yet to play a complete game or half he hasn't been tested properly. So can we truly talk about his qualities. We watched a Championship striker Mitrovic give our defenders a terrible time. Awaziem found out. There will be strikers in the World Cup that will be much better and more physical. The team needs strength in depth. The core of the current squad is good but they need 4/5 quality tried and tested additions. This will give us a fighting chance. The world cup is not a sprint it's a marathon. You need to have capable replacement in every department. We shouldn't be looking at youth potential but players who are delivering for thier clubs consistently. Dressers could even be an option Ideye, an additional striker is essential as well as Am. We want to at least get past group stage anything less is not good enough. 3 Likes |

Teekim:Onyekuru is not a Top 9, this has been extensively discussed on this thread already. Playing him there will have similar effects to playing Iheanacho there Which Ighalo should they try again? Has he not been over tried in that position? Martins? So that he will waste our time the way Joel wasted our time, abi? 1 Like |

And for all of Okocha's influence, we never won the AFCON with him as the leader in the midfield (in 1994, Okocha was no leader in that midfield but a key young player who Westerhoff could bench sef. That team had Oliseh and Oliha too). But we win the AFCON with Mikel as undisputed leader in the middle. Mikel is in every way as super influential in this team as Okocha was in the 2000s. That is the truth. Martz101: |

(just wasting space) Nwakali's time is now and not too young to play, he is in a good form now, he dictate from d middle to attack, he is a good finisher, a good passing accuracy, he holds on the ball well just like Odogu Mikel and a nice free kick taker. |

Goke7: Group stage is your definition of performance? Mikel Obi failed to qualify us one 3 occasions but later came back to redeem himself with a AFCON trophy and later took us to the so called second round. Why? Because he was still given the chance to prove himself. Chikena 2 Likes |

somehow:Because as a CM, he is better on the ball than Onazi. That is the truth. He had a bad game. Just like Nacho, Shehu, etc did. If Rohr doesn't invite him again, that's cool. But using these 2 games to say Onazi is better is just funny. |
