Who to drop, Pros and cons.

Elderson Echijiele

Pros: Experienced, only natural left footer among the full backs,

Cons: Diminishing skills, lost pace, Inactive season (unable to get playing time in Turkey or the lower tiers of Belgium).

Ola Aina

Pros: Youth, Can play multiple positions, Long Throws, has a future with the team.

Cons: Has shown some defensive vulnerability, a natural right footer in the left wing, No shortage of options to replace him (Awaziem can also do what he does on the left and right and arguably does it better)

Best to ignore..

I don't know why they are like this. Same attitude all over. All of them.
I don't even know why some people are even quoting them.

TheGoodJoe:


It is football. Forlan flopped at Manchester United and became the highest goal scorer in Europe playing for Villareal. Theirry Henry flopped at Juventus and later became one of the best strikers in the history of the game playing for Arsenal and Barcelona.

Klose flopped at Bayern scoring three goals all season but almost equalled Ronaldo's record in 2010 WC.

People dey this life ooo..
Different people with different reasonings,different attitudes, different addictions, different diseases, different fantasies, different stupidity, different motives,
That's why life will never be fair

Selfishness and bad belles ..

I tire

They feed off the attention and people fall for it.

TheGoodJoe:


There are limited chances, so there will always be a norm for quality Potentials getting left out. The Dessers crew are not waging war against injustice. We pray for those who can help the team grow to get their chances.

Men.... una get time o.

Later they will say there is a gang up.

Please let's focus on a positive topic of discussion. The England game is fast approaching.

don't be surprised....I thought his foolish comments was begin to make sense to you.

some peeps are here for selfish reasons you may never know......
trust me this guy has an uterior motive...for being here.

Well my brother, like Chief said let's focus on the positive. So much to discuss

Exactly.

I want to know how manage Nwakali made the 35 man list at the detriment of players that performed better than him this season?

I don't know if that your question is the answer. Is it?

We don't know for certain who and who were on the 35 man list. All we know is Rohr said Nwakali was on it. The reporters should've asked him who were the 5 that were cut

Some of these trolls better pray Nigeria don't make it past the group stages or it will be hell for them. I'll make sure to have my phone on this page for the whole day. It will be massacre of the highest order.
These fools will learn some of us were trolling from our mother's womb.

MetalJigsaw:
Why do you think so?

Anything can happen

Mujtahida:

Well my brother, like Chief said let's focus on the positive. So much to discuss

So how do you want the team set up against England.

See, even if we eventually win the WC forget those people. No need to have any confrontations with them. They don't even exist.

The more I think about it, the more I wish we could adopt 3 - 5 - 2 as our main Formation at the Mundial. This is the same Formation Philipe Trousier used in the 98 WCQ Matches that made us qualified without Permutations.

It's a big Doubt for Simon to make it to the Mundial, also Iwobi ain't a typical Winger we could rely on, rather an AM. We are getting it wrong by saying Iwobi can play as a Winger, cos he's simply playing as a RMF/LMF.

Musa on the hand is effective playing as a SS or a Striker. He got back to Form at CSKA Moscow not as a Winger rather as a SS. Only VicMo who played throughout the Season as a Wing-back at Chelsea I can possibly call a Winger in the Team at the moment.

We can choke up the Midfield with our best Midfielders, rely on the Pace of our Wing-backs, and a Playmaker who can do magic when needed behind a reliable Striker who won't be playing Guitar in the Box.

If I am in charge of this Team, I will select the Lineup and play the Formation as below to test run my Tactical Plans. In Addition, defensively the Formation automatically will switch to 5 - 4 - 1 with Moses doubling up with Shehu on the right, while Joel doubling up with Idowu on the left.

-------------------- Uzoho ---------------------

Ekong ---------- Balogun ------------ Echiejile

Shehu------ Ndidi ------ Joel ---------- Idowu

------------------- Mikel -----------------------

----------- Moses

------------------------ Ighalo -----------------

I know many Dudes will disagree with my Lineup cos there is no Iwobi, Iheanacho, Tyrone in it, but to me it's tactically better to have a very strong Bench who can make a Difference at any Point in time.

We shouldn't be only solid on the Pitch, we should also be solid on the Bench too, coz that really determined a formidable Squad. I will play Echiejile as the 3rd CB cos he has the Experience to perform in the Position. Defensively he's quite not a bad Player, and I will rather rely on his Experience than experimenting Awaziem or Omeruo in the Position.

Icon4s:


I am not concerned about your views about Kayode and Nwakali because I can't recall any. Several people have shared their views on it here.

But I will advice you again to return to your analysis and quit being an advocate.

Let him share his views too and stop cheap blackmail of calling him advocate.

Very predictable fellow.

Jarus:


I also want Argentina to win WC but after losing to Nigeria in group stage.

Semi final is enough achievement for SE.

So if Nigeria beats Argentina in the group stages, why would Argentina go on to win the world cup? What happened to us dreaming of actually winning it? Because of Messi?

Frankly speaking, Messi doesnt need to win the world cup to prove that he is the all time best. Let us understand thatnsoccer is a team sport and not an individual thingy. Thanks

Mujtahida:

so you see. so how then can you say that(and you still repeating it) that i am acting as his attorney when you cannot state my views on the two points that have marked his views on this thread. you ought not to say that. cos all i am for is for people to share their views and even forgiveness i have tried many times to persuade him to let all issues relating to kayode and nwakali and accusations of corruption and nepotism to rest. the lady of the house here says she hates being misunderstood. i too dont like being misunderstood. for the record i am indifferent to kayode. as for nwakali he will come good after the WC. its the gang mentality against forgiveness i dont like even though he himself does not help matters. we should be broadminded

You had better leave that fellow. He is the initiator of tribalism in this group.

You can see his hate for amala and ewedu stew eating fellows.

I don't know what is peppering him on Nwakali matter when he rubbishes Ajagun at will. Let him Continue.

E go meet am for front.

fabyom:
Abeg bro, listen to Icon4s advise. We need you to be the great mind we all know you to be

Repect his views and stop forcing him to be an hypocrite.

I have just spotted a deluded white kid who sees no reason to support an African brother but would do anything to pull his brothers down while paying homage to his masters . Soon the true whites will sieve the wheat from chaff

Icon4s:


Oga, let's go back to analysing football. All those Nwakali, Kayode, Nepotism and corruption talks are just mare distractions.

What were you thinking when you accused Onigbinde of Nepotism and corruption for taking Opabumi and Ogbeche to the world Cup?

It was not a distraction then, abi?

Two faced double standard tribalist fellow.

Good formation but i don't see Echiejile as 3rd CB when we have Omeruo and Awaziem.

If you want to based it on experience,good we have Omeruo but i will preferred Awaziem, Ekong and Balogun cos they did it against Argentina.

At RWB,pls give me Ebuehi, really i rate Shehu ahead before but with Ebuehi performance against Congo he deserves to start.Shehu was woeful against Congo even worst than villain Aina in that match,may be due to fasting.

Pls remove Joel,till now am not impressed with Joel performance. Let's see Ogu again in that formation.

As you said good to have solid bench and with Iwobi and Iheanacho on the bench we are covered but how i wish they start in 3-5-2 formation cos they are top performers against Argentina.

Good formation my man.

Sometimes that Messi not winning the world cup statement like you just did is just sarcastic to me. Like cps of Messi, the status attached to the world cup would now be undermined, cos that's what I draw from such a statement.


He and Cr7 fall under this category so make dem shiftabeg.


The world cup is the best another beat play there and win...


Imagine those yeahs where world cup calibre players were denied the top best player cos of Messi and cr7!!! Sneijder and Iniesta. rem?

Kane hyping Dele Alli to crack our defence.


Is okay.


I prefer Omeruo to start ahead of Balogun sha.

Musa comes from the bench or don't get featured atall, except if need be. Do we have a Bale or a Sani Emmanuel.... no supersub yet in this team. phew.

Why Elderson, not Omeruo or Awaziem? Both of whom played the 3 man defence very well against Argentina. If experience is the consideration, why not Omeruo who is a much better CB than Elderson. That is a baffling choice when we have 2 other CBs.

Against Argentina, we benefited from the speed and fluidity of Iwobi and Iheanacho. Ighalo offers a more conventional CF approach. I do not know if that is beneficial. I feel Iwobi has to play with Mikel.

Mujtahida:

you see thats the problem. great mind when my views align with the majority but not great mind when i say forgiveness should be answered with facts or his posts disregarded? i do not think that is a good way to look at this issue and i feel cheap if i am seen in the light of the advise.

Bros, leave that guy alone and follow your conscience.

Nobody will stand for you in the day of judgement.

Mujtahida wetin now,pls take it cool cos you and Chief are respectable member of this thread.Pls and God bless

I don't know exactly how old you are but I know you cannot be less than 35. But sorry you, in all honesty, lack a lot of things men your age have.

Go ponder about that.

Rohr himself have always said the team has no star and they are ranked lowest in the group. Almost like he is giving excuse for failure in view ....

Hahahahahaha!
