Nacho doesn't need a lot of chances to score..he is very lethal as a forward...Ighalo can score goals but he is not lethal..he might miss a few chances b4 he actually scores...

The best is Rohr plays nacho has a false 9 in a single striker system that way his weakness at holding up play would not be obvious..

This lethal striker has scored how many goals in the EPL this season

Icon4s:



Haha, football can be very funny.

The same Samuel Kalu can make a debut now and be making wayward crosses.

What have we not heard on this thread? It is always that player that has not been invited that is always the best

You totally misread me at the bolded. Cos few pages back I was opposing those who were calling for every and all kinds of players in the wake of our recent performances.
My point is not on Kalu. I'm not even thinking of him getting an invite. I'm just using him (since some of us here say he crosses well) to illustrate my main point which is the fact that the team is poor on crosses. Remove Kalu from the picture and my point still remains.
Question is: does the team know how to work crosses both in delivery and end result? How many goals have we scored from crosses? How many crosses get delivered per match? These are the things which underlie my point not Kalu.

BascoVanVeli:


So how come against Cameroon Mikel could find Ighalo without even looking? People cross nonsense and you are trying to blame the striker. I said this about Kelechi against SA, the problem is not the striker but the service.

Chaaaiiiiii.... Not joining the discussion but just picking out the sweet beautiful memory of that pass.... It was absolute class on display by the Odogwu himself.

I keep saying this. Mikel may not be fast with based on pace but he is super fast based on his quick creative thinking. His Brain neurons and synapses fire off at a speed that make him anticipate the game's flow and this is what makes up for his slow pace.

You just brought back sweet memories of that super pass.... Awwwwwwwwn... Class is permanent indeed.... Me just loving that pass over and over again...

I am really sorry Sir Congo/RussianMob/Pussy.pounder/Russian ruble... But I really must do this... You are always welcome here but this.... Arrrgh... This is gross and inadequate even for a joke.... Trust you will understand....

Humility017:

you're getting the message wrongly...
no one is asking for his automatical call up...
we are not happy with the super eagles midfield and striking dept....presently.
so any player Doing well club side especaliy in Europe should be looked into and tried...to beef up the team.

this guy has something working for him....I will want him to be invited if he keeps up with this performance....

Sure if he get more playing time and more goals why not,A Good start to his shaktar career

elyte89:



Aw re u sure he would perform better?


Anyway, dts d norm on dis thread, d UNTESTED PLAYERS are always far better Dan d current one in d team,na so Mikel Agu own take starr

Green grass syndrome. That's the only way some of us here cope with our fears.

Humility017:

the few times he gets to play for the super eagles...he gave a good account of himself...
I was one of those against keshi giving him a call up...but he went to prove me wrong....
he is a better prospect to rohr than even martins many clamour for here....

7 caps and 2 goals,Not bad for aaron samuel

Shakhtar Boss Shares His Take On Kayode Debut : Just Perfect




Shakhtar Donetsk coach Paulo Fonseca was pleased with the performance of Olarenwaju Kayode against Zorya, after the Manchester City loanee netted two minutes into his debut for the Ukrainian powerhouse.

Despite spending only few minutes on the Slavutych-Arena (Zaporizhzhya) turf, the Portuguese manager has described Kayode's performance as perfect.

''In the few remaining minutes he scored. Just perfect! No matter how much time is left - one, five, ten or twenty minutes - a football player should behave appropriately, showing dedication and efficacy on the pitch,'' Fonseca told reporters, according to shakhtar.com .

''Dentinho, Kayode and Zubkov played for a very short period, but they did prove themselves, making a big contribution.''

Kayode represented Luzern, Maccabi Netanya, Austria Wien before transferring to Manchester City last summer.

Shakhtar have an option to buy the Nigerian international from his parent club City at the end of the 2017-18 season.

Russia 2018 WC Countdown: 73 days 1 hour 21 mins to go

Failed to utilize chance?
We hardly create one

Yoruba say oya mi lenu. The thing surprise me. If we don't like a player there's nothing we will not say against such a player whether true or false doesn't matter. The attitude is 'I don't like him therefore anything I say about him is right regardless of whether it is so in reality'

Balanced criticism is what we need abeg.

Kog45:
Sir i think Ighalo caps is not much for you to let us know those chances created and missed by him.

Truly his goal ratio was not good enough but we need to balance things up.

I remember King KANU Nwankwo had 87 caps with 12 goals,five afcons with no goals and three WC no goals despite his very poor goal ratio with eagles,fans still balance things up to rate him.

Pls let us know Ighalo all round stats with eagles,goals,assists then we can justify your submission on him.

Please Sir Humility017 we are waiting for you to respond to this post by Kog45. Let's talk based on the facts. I am indifferent to Ighalo but let's talk facts.

Coach Who Discovered Shehu Abdullahi Tells Rohr – He Is Better As A Holding Midfielder Than Right Back
April 2, 201806

Coach John Obuh who gave Bursaspor of Turkey and Super Eagles ace Shehu Abdullahi his breakthrough at national level says the 24 year old is better as a defensive midfielder than at right back.

Abdullahi has played most of his senior international career at right back for Nigeria, but at club level he has turned out as a defensive midfielder, and that is the role he is currently playing at his Turkish team.

Obuh who was the first to play the former Kano Pillars teen prospect at right back during his time with the Nigeria U-20 says Abdullahi can do more for Nigeria if ‎played from his original role as a defensive midfielder.

” He came to me as a holding midfielder and was very good in controlling the ball under pressure but he was very fragile and slow in recovery, but very good in passes and long kicks. So I needed such at the right back, hence I converted him”, Obuh told Owngoalnigeria.com in an exclusive chat.

DONT MISS ==> Eagles Coach Rohr Rules Out Onyekuru From Russia World Cup 2018
” I think he can do better in the holding midfield as it is today”, the coach who recently resigned from his role as coach of Kwara United concluded

Shehu will make the 23 man squad barring injuries he is a very important player and would play him as a DMF

Please Sir Humility017 we are waiting for you to respond to this post by Kog45. Let's talk based on the facts. I am indifferent to Ighalo but let's talk facts.

there is nothing to compare between Ighalo and kanu...
kanu was a player who always come alive when it matter most....
I still remember his assist to utaka during the afcon 2004...Match wit Cameroon...
also him coming to get us two goals...against Gabon in worldcup/afcon qualifying match in river state....that match was heading to a draw....this and many more we see kanu rescue this super eagles in dangerous times...

he was a player whose passes the team always count on when it matters most...

can Ighalo do same?
that's the question you and sir kog4 should answer....it's not about records of goals scored compared to kanu....... even in the goals ratio Ighalo is not even faring better...I doubt kanu was ever played as a top 9

Humility017:

so all the matches he has been playing...we have not been creating chances...?
then how come someone like nancho could get a good goal record....?

his finishing and positional prowess need to ha looked into....so poor of a top 9.

your 2nd paragraph might be true though but Jude hasn't been too poor from that uyo match.

He and nacho complements each other. If I be Rohr, I will mold the team in 4-4-2 formation. Positioning, scoring, holding and taking opponents are attributes of a good cf but unfortunately, One can position so well and score but can't hold ball or take a defender and vise versa.

My concern is calling for Larry to replace Ighalo because he scored yesterday. Rohr don see both for training tire.

based on their last utterances, Uduokhai seems the surest bet. However it's still dicey

I remember nancho words after his stunning goal against the Tanzanians

he reacted brilliantly to the super play of the goal keeper....
Rohr needed a win in that match....so as to boast his managerial prowess and also to mark his reign wit success...
nancho came to rescue with a very intelligent decision to shot from outside the team yard box....
a striker sometimes creates chance for themselves....osaze was one of this....too.

"Original role", I like that term.. not "natural position".

No I don't think Sir Kog45 asked you to compare Kanu and Ighalo. it's not about Kanu. He just used Kanu to illustrate the fact that though Kanu did not score many goals yet he gets balanced appraisal. Sir Kog45 emphasis is on balance. and that's why he asked you to produce Ighalo's stats based on his number of goals so that we can see how bad he really is cos since the friendlies Ighalo has had no test from you. So let's see his stats please.

I never knew...chances have never been created for him to score goals...all this while he has been playing....

what makes you think...rohr resorted try nancho as a top 9 against Algeria and the likes.....

a striker positioning sometimes helps in creating chances......
one of the chances he missed against Serbia...iwobi was standing beside him...
that was a good chance any good striker should bury...

u people want Okocha to call of his retirement eh.. I was watching that Yobo exhibition match yesterday..

Let me add that Ighalo should get at least 50% credit for converting.. it was still a half chance.. but great pass from Mikel

I don't have the stats...because I have never been moved by his play....
I don't hate him mind you....by nigeria ties I should even be more closer to him and ideye...

I don't mind brother....
just imagine we play the Croatians the way we played the serbians....
that means we are kissing the world cup good bye...right from the first match...Croatian even have a better midfield

let's hope he gets 90 minutes in the next game and scores again

EEGA:
A goal in 3mins of his debut says much.

Firstly, we won't be playing 4-3-3 -- well hopefully
And that game will not be a test game.

Okay. I agree with you that we need a striker. We really do. Ighalo's overall performance in the Gwg has not been impressive. No one can deny that. But since he came back to play in the WCQ from the Cameroun match he's not done badly.

I will agree with you that his positioning and deadliness is not good enough but let me tell you one interesting thing I read on cyber eagles: one of the posters there was discussing why we didn't score goals and he made this point that human beings thrive on reward system and Reinforcement and that we tend to drop any behaviour that is not rewarded. If you do something and I reward you, you will do it again. If you do something and I do not reward you, you are most likely not to do it again. Meaning that as an attacker if you position yourself well for the ball and it comes to you from the other wide players you will naturally position or learn to position yourself well but if you do it once or twice and the other wide players don't feed you, at the subconscious level you'd say to yourself 'what's the use of my positioning well, even if I do sef, him no go pass me ball'. Service was poor from the midfield and the other widemen. Ighalo did not even miss any chances. Why? There were none provided

The way our team played in the two friendlies I can tell you that only the strikers of old, maybe only Messi from this generation that could have scored a goal or goals. We are saying it's not Ighalo's fault per se. But once again I agree that we need more lethal attackers

We don't have a lethal finisher at club level. Let's accept the reality.

FOOTBALL LEGEND KANU TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA IN 2019

Football legend Kanu to run for president of Nigeria in 2019
Nkwankwo Kanu
by Austin Ditlhobolo

Monday Apr 02, 2018. 16:00

Nigerian football legend Nwankwo Kanu has been inspired by Liberian icon George Weah’s feat.

The former Arsenal FC and Inter Milan forward has announced he will run for President of Nigeria in 2019.

Weah, who had a very successful football career in Europe, was elected President of Liberia in the 2017 election, defeating the incumbent Vice President Joseph Boakai, and sworn in on 22 January 2018.

“My presence here today is about the future of our country and the happiness of our people,” Kanu said on Goal.

“The last 18 years of leadership has witnessed a decline in all critical sectors of life in Nigeria, plus general insecurity in the land.

“Also, I’ll do all it takes to wrestle corruption which has become blatant and widespread. The rest of the world looks at Nigeria as the home of corruption," Kanu, who also had a successful career in Europe, added.

“If I get your mandate, I promise to do things differently and restore honour and integrity to public service by keeping the best and attracting the best.

"George Weah's victory in Liberia is a pointer that this dream is very realistic with you all on my side."

Kanu, 41, will be hoping to unseat incumbent president Muhammadu Buhari during the Nigerian general elections which will be held in Nigeria on 16 February 2019.
