charlesemeka85: Of course,Mikel can play the CM role very well.. he has been doing that for long.. But the thing is,age has caught up with him.. His pace as reduced unlike before... CMFs have to be fast and disciplined enough to cover the defence and attack at the same time.. Mikel should keep playing the AMF role.. Iwobi can always come in for him in the second half.. A midfield combo of Ndidi -DM Etebo-CM Mikel-AM will be juicy... if Mikel is subbed off in the 2nd half, Iwobi can move to AM while Etebo to the wing or another player takes the wing.. Our team has a lot of versatile players...that's a big plus for us 2 Likes |

Icon4s: That is why I keep doffing my heart to Rohr. I gave a simple point that a player who did well and outclassed one of the respected regulars, should not be thrown aside because a coach dumped the player. This is another case of doing more than just folding arms. Rohr held a camp larger than the usual, tested players including Oshaniwa. All I asked for was a look in. The point is too simple. |

safarigirl: mikel being deployed as a number 10 by rohr is because of the team's lack of a creative midfielder. if mikel is a super 10 why didn't any of chelsea's coaches risk him in that position during his stint with the londoners? in his present club in china does he play as a 10 often? lets not allow sentiment cloud our sense of reasoning. he is loved by all but his talent and experience will be better utilized if he is deployed as a central midfielder |

Mickael2: How does do more mean we should send coaches to all players? Na wa. Sometimes the talk here can go off point. I just gave an example of how Rohr is taking extra steps than depending on the clubs. I never and it is never the only way. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 9:47pm On May 07, 2018 |
charlesemeka85: Simple. When you have the likes of Lampard, Deco, Ballack in the squad, the young African needs to take what ever is left. If Pellegrini did not give Yaya Toure the license to attack at will, many would doubt he ever had the ability to do it. Mikel is a Super 10. Unfortunately at Chelsea, he always had proven names ahead of him. 4 Likes |

charlesemeka85:are we really going to discuss the destruction of Mikel's potential by countless Chelsea coaches? So, the white people obviously know better because they are in Europe .....and Siasia that discovered him doesn't know how to play him. I won't even answer those questions, they are annoying enough already. I can't believe a Nigerian is asking such a question . 5 Likes |

Danielnino00: because of his age and lack of speed that's why he will perform better as a central/deep lying play maker. Mikel naturally doesn't have the pace to strive as an attacking midfielder but as been deployed as a 10 during his days with the Nigerian youth team and few matches international football. the attacking midfield 'role will be too stressful for him judging by his lack of pace to move tro and fro in a match. sitting as a central midfielder and having a youthful Iwobi in front of him who has the energy to burst forward and return when the need arises will be a plus tothe team. |

Icon4s: I wonder where you got send coaches to Osimhen and K. Nwakali. I just gave you an example of Rohr knowing folding his arms and waiting for international break will get us no where. We need to do more. One is to get the team B more active and a testing point for our top Potentials. Hold larger camps in this level and have unbiased screenings. Those that show real quality can have chances to train with the main team. These are just points off the top of my head. How it turned to just send coaches to teams beats my imagination. I just pointed out that Rohr has shown we need to do more. |

charlesemeka85: We have a big challenge of unlocking defences with clever passes and Mikel holds the key to that for our team. Playing Mikel in a deeper role means cutting off supplies to our forwards. A risk we should not take. 2 Likes |

charlesemeka85: Somebody should correct me if I'm wrong o.. but isn't it the CM primary role to dictate play by covering both the attack and defence? The CM can also play the box to box role.. Mikel's lack of pace is what make him best suited for the AM role.. A young and energetic Ndidi and Etebo will b there to cover for him.. But biko,why do u suddenly have a problem with Mikel's role?? He has been playing the role since Rohr took over he's been great there... 2 Likes |

Icon4s:thats because the the lacks a proper number 10. if rohr can experiment a bit against england by deploying iwobi as the the team's number 10 you all will clamor for him to hold onto that position. believe you me mikel will shock the world in the upcoming world cup if rohr plays him as a central midfielder which will bring out his best for the world to see. |

charlesemeka85:Bro, you don't change what is already working. Mikel played the qualifiers as a no.10.World cup won't change that. We have passed the stage of experimentation.Barring injury, Mikel will always start as our no.10 just like Moses will always play from the wings. 2 Likes |

Icon4s: It counts. It shows Rohr knows that we can not just count on foreign clubs to get our players playing at their best and thought outside the box. Sending trainers to them was a brilliant idea than folding arms. |

realpoacher: No problems, apologies accepted. I was not in any way upset. Just guarding against comments that have led to frackers here in the past. We have been discussing here for some few weeks now even though with intensity but no insults. We just need to maintain this spirit into the WC. |

Icon4s: My point was that Etebo and Iheanacho have been played there way more than Iwobi. In Rohr's depth chart they are above him. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by EEGA: 10:22pm On May 07, 2018 |
we played a 3-5-2 against Argentina in the absence of V.Moses.If he were to be present how will we line-up? Am thinking of a 3-4-3. Uzoho Awaziem Balogun Ekoong Ebuehi Aina Ndidi-Etebo Iwobi Iheanacho V.Moses Modified:Where will Mikel fit in? |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by charlesemeka85(m): 10:22pm On May 07, 2018 |
Danielnino00: so you mean the central midfield role requires more pace than the attacking midfield role? deploying mikel as a central midfielder will afford him the opportunity to orchestrate the team's play with his God given footballing intelligence,vision and experience. playing as a CM doesn't stop him to create something when he ventures forward. players such as xavi,pirlo,modric etc lacked that strength and physicality to play as a 10 but where best utilized by their clubs and national teams as central midfielders where they fit in better. if rohr happens to unearth a good and natural number 10 i doubt if he will deploy mikel as a number 10 again. mikel's intelligence,calmness on the ball and his experience will be better utilized as a central midfielder. one of the major attribute of an attacking midfielder is shooting ability and mikel lacks it big time. also a good 10 comes up with decent amount of goals and we all know mikel doesn't score much.aside being a good passer of the ball and very intelligent with on the ball mikel lacks in other other areas when classified as an number 10 |

charlesemeka85: Abeg when last did you watch Mikel play for the Super Eagles? It seems you have not been following the SE of late. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Icon4s(m): 10:27pm On May 07, 2018 |
BascoVanVeli: Haha. They are not. Just that Rohr likes playing Iwobi from the wings. Did you notice he deployed Iwobi to the AM position in the Poland game when Iheanacho was virtually lost for almost the whole duration of the time he spent. Didn't you notice the difference when Iwobi went central after Iheanacho was taken off? |
