Mujtahida: No one is being negative. Acknowledging fact is no negativity. Some of you guys here don't agree this team is average. Tbaba was arguing here the other day that this team was better than our WC 2002 squad. All of us want Nigeria to go far and win WC, but we will not trade our objectivity for wishes. 1 Like |

safarigirl:I hate this crassness. What they want is for us to say the team is below average, and put up not even a whiff of hope or expectation. Wimps and idiots. Men with no balls. Even this morning listening to the presser by Mikel and Rohr, Mikel said we are the acknowledged underdogs in the group. Icons4 repeats it almost daily but we have resolved to keep faith with the team. That is what this weasels who call themselves fans do not want. Our faith in the team is what drives annoys them. We should give up - that one will give them joy. Thunder fire them. 6 Likes 1 Share |

BascoVanVeli:Issue is, if we're playing 3 at the back, the wingbacks have to be attacking outlets. He offers nearly nothing offensively. He's not bad defensively though, but he himself has been exposed a few times. |

Mujtahida: but this was what i was talking about, he play from the wing and drift, he does that well without crossing or doing the usual things an orthodox winger does he was the man of the match for me and he went against what some people stated earlier that he can't close a game for 90min 1 Like |

goldfish80:go and preach to Enyeama. He would make 30 good saves, but his errors cost the team at certain points. You are only making this raucous because it is Uzoho, if say na Enyeama collect like this (which he most likely would have), you would not be making this much noise. Anyway, the boy did good to many of us, let the few people who want to criticize, carry on. 3 Likes |

Mujtahida:The team is NOT below average. It is NOT above average either. We want the team to go far. We are keeping faith. But we won't keep BLIND faith. It's not that hard, is it? We're the underdogs. And we will definitely exceed expectations. But let's not stretch those expectations too far. 1 Like |

sontoly: Honestly I expect more of this iheanacho-iwobi combo, makes our attack more mobile, rohr should be starting games with this combo, they were key to us even beating the zambians away and the algerians at home which made us pick valuable points to qualification. I finally agree with those who say rohr is conservative. 6 Likes |

edi287: Joel Obi has lost his form. He hs had enough time to prove himself but he has always struggled. I dont know what Agbo was like but any energetic midfielder with composure, decent tackling and good ball passing ability can easily take his place. It is rude to call him fat and over weight and that's what he is. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Sir, I understand that Onazi is a core member of this team.and finally, Ebuehi has finally silenced all nay sayers. Dude is shoulder above Shehu. Clean Tackles, well timed Interceptions, excellent positioning, good crossing and finally pace. It doesn't take so much time to Identify a gem. 15 Likes |

Bros, calm down. Uzoho impressed me today actually. Frankly, I wouldn't blame him for any of the goals. The second goal was a bullet shot from a top striker, not many keepers can keep that out. Personally, Uzoho wouldn't be my preferred keeper if we have lots of options, but right now he's the best man for the job. O pari goldfish80: 1 Like |

Over all, a good performance from our boys. The second half performance shows we can play if we want to. The switch in both personnel and set up in the midfield changed the complexity of the game. The midfield was so porous and uncoordinated in the first half. What changed? Change of personel: introduction of Etebo and Ogu for Joel and Onazi. Change of set up: The team switched to 2 blocking 4: Ogu focusing more on the left side, providing cover for Idowu while Etebo teamed up with Ebuehi at the right. With Etebo also playing the box to box role. Another coup was the continuous switch in position between Mikel and Iwobi. I saw Iwobi go central for Mikel to go to the RW. I saw Iwobi go to the flanks for Mikel to play from the Central AM position. At other time Iwobi played in the CM position just behind Mikel. Iwobi has highlighted his importance in our 2018 WC campaign. His versatility and creativity is such an asset to the team and this must be maximised. He is definitely a starter! For those that underate the importance of midfield play, this game has shown how important a compact and co-ordinated midfield can yield results. I am not disappointed. We played England at Wimbley. I am sure we can beat them in Uyo. Hahaha The way Rohr set up the midfield for the second half should be how we should set up against Croatia. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

Jarus:One person argues that the team is better than the 2002 set yet you guys make it sound like that is the prevailing notion here. Na today we begin watch ball? Nope what you guys want is not to be objective. Your mind is that the team is average and therefore no one should have Faith in them. Bros even if this team were to play Brazil I will not go to watch the match believing Brazil will beat us. Lie lie. And its not that I'm blind. But that credit of believe I will give this team freely and abundantly. What do I have to lose. 94 we were burned, 98 we were trounced, 2002 we snoozed out, 2010 we failed, 2014 was the same old story. What are we afraid of again? Una go stand for darkness dey cry average, average like adult wey wan terrify small pikin with ojuju. Abeg carry your objectivity comot for here go front page. 5 Likes |
