nelszx:you get the gist jare. I'LL be suprised if Rohr starts Onazi ahead of this guy. Ogu brings some kind of calmness to the midfield and his passes are spot on... I hope Ndidi comes back strong and get back in shape for our match against Czech 1 Like |

The biggest word in football is OPPORTUNITY without it we will never know what a player can do.

OMANBALA1: Iwobi came into limelight playing on the left wing against Barcelona. He was mustard in that game and in the final games of that season. He can make the wing his own just like Nasri did. He doesn't have the balance in his game to sustain play in the midfielder for now, in my opinion. |

Lol.... Abeg cut the CMs there some slack. No be all fit get eagle eye vision like Mikel. That is why it is called a special talent. Hahahahahahahahaha.. ..but on a serious note... Yeah.. I understand the point but only showing that not all are DMs in the real sense of it. We have only one true AM in Mikel then the rest are CMs and DMs. Etebo is a LW and CM and have been found to be very ineffective (almost zero as an AM). I think from what we saw Rohr do with Iwobi in the DRC game when he took Etebo wide left, with Iwobi playing centrally, it may show that he plans to make Iwobi his Mikel 2.0. Mujtahida: |

tbaba1234: 1, This group is as tough as 2002 group. Argentina/Argentina, Sweden/Iceland, England/Croatia - other than maybe Iceland is slightly below Sweden. 2, You listed Okocha, Taribo, Aghahowa and Yobo as "other than". I will like to see the "other than" of this 2018 team and let's compare. 3, This was our starting 11 versus Argentina GK 1 Ike Shorunmu RB 16 Efe Sodje YC CB 6 Taribo West CB 5 Isaac Okoronkwo LB 3 Celestine Babayaro RM 10 Jay-Jay Okocha (c) CM 2 Joseph Yobo CM 4 Nwankwo Kanu LM 11 Garba Lawal CF 9 Bartholomew Ogbeche CF 17 Julius Aghahowa Compare the 2018 likely starting 11 with these guys. Other than maybe Sodje and Ogbeche, I don't see any "rag tag" in this team. Kanu was better than Iwobi, JJ than Mikel. Garba Lawal was more useful than Musa. Aghahowa on pitch gave more hope than Ighalo in GWG colours etc 4 Likes |

We have a very crucial game on Saturday and for me it will be true test of how far we have come and how prepared we are. The English players are going to be very competitive and will play the game at a considerably fast pace. This is where Ighalo and more relevantly Simi will be tested. Can Simi replicate his physicality to such great effect in the Seria A against EPL players from England. I have speculated a 4-4-2 formation if things get tough with Ighalo and Simi essentially bullying thier way to goals. I can see the teenage Alexander playing to nullify the speed of Musa. Musa will need to play intelligent football and not just rely on sheer pace. And if Alex doesn't play we still have Rose and Walker to deal with. Sadly Moses Simon, so Etebo must bring some real gra gra power football. Like to see a mobile midfield with Mikel pulling all the strings, his input will determine to a large extent who will win this match. Winning is important but not essential, putting in a composed disciplined and inventive performance much more vital. Concerns Echiejile slow and could be easily over run I prefer a midfield of Ndidi and Onazi not Ogu. I see this as a game Ogu can be left behind because he is simply too slow and lacks good recovery. I use to feel that England lacked flair and inventive unpredictable guile in midfield. That's not the case anymore Rueben Loftus is a beast in midfield and our prodigal son Dele has a lot to offer skill wise. Onazi and Ndidi will have to be on top if thier games. Vic Moses is for me our Ace he brings it all to the game, pace, power, skill, speed and unpredictability. I expect him to score. Iwobi will have to work hard and I don't expect him to start. He will have to be at his best to influence the game. Our defenders will be dealing with an on fire Harry Kane. Our midfield has to stop any supply to him. So closing down and pressing as a unit from the front Liverpool style against Real, KEY to success. It's going to be hard fitness is a major issue. My heart wants Nigeria to win but my objectivity says unlikely. Been waiting for decades for this game. So I am extremely excited. On the selfish side some of our players if they put in a good outstanding display. Will have played themselves into a lucrative EPL contract. 9 Likes |

TheSuperNerd:the thing thesupernerd is the way our midfield collapses in the absence of mikel. its worrying. that is what prompted the cry for the inclusion of Nwakali in the team. it is really dangerous cos i should think our opponents are seeing how reliant we are on Mikel. on the bolded i have argued the point here and my voice is going hoarse. |

It probably is; but not far from the truth tho. Like I told y'all a few days ago, Rohr is most likely going to select 8 defenders due to the players available to him (Balogun, Ekong, Shehu, Ebuehi, Omeruo, Awazien, Idowu, and Echiejile). And I think it makes sense for him to do that. O pari somehow: |

komekn:I love your analysis. But when you play a 4-4-2 it is typical to play a natural CF and an SS. Except if one of the CFs plays the SS role very well. But looking at Ighalo and Nwankwo they are both natural CFs. If we must play 4-4-2, I would suggest we play each of them in each half and Ihenacho be the SS. 1 Like |

Jarus: Agree that the group is as tough. Let us go back to 2002, Okocha was the best player on the team, Taribo was already on the decline and barely played games that season. Yobo was still an up and coming youngster in the team as at 2002, Adepoju was on the decline playing for a second division spanish club. Ogbeche was not anywhere near the quality of our present forwards at least not at that time. Efe Sodje was average at best. Lawal is not on the level of Victor Moses or Iwobi or Ahmed Musa or Simon Moses offensively. Babayaro was better than our current left backs. Then we had Justice Christopher, Opabunmi, Eric Ejiofor (decent player) on the bench. 2 Likes |
