Mujtahida: But this was what keshi was doing then and we accused him of not having a starting 11 if you remember very well. I agree with you though, football has gone so dynamic that it took a Gareth bale to introduced as a sub for real Madrid to win that champs league for a third time in a row. Rohr needs to be flexible. There are matches iheanacho or even a musa should start while folks like moses can come in the second half. For Cameroon to win afcon, even a whole abubakar was coming in as a sub. That's how dynamic football is. Onazi today was not a regular until he came to replace a fegor ogude in the quarter final against civ when ogude was suspended for the match so why can't onazi be benched now if we have better options 15 Likes |

edi287: Well, I think Ighalo was a little bit isolated. He can do better than that. Mikel Obi playing in the CMF is better because he will be defensive minded though he can still dictate the attack from deep. Ogu playing as a defender CB came as a surprise to me. This is not a good signal for Awaziem because he might be dropped. Let us see the friendly and see if we can improve the frontline. 1 Like |

Mujtahida: Onazi's best days are behind him, it's nothing to do with form. Dude peaked as far back as 2013 through 2014 and ever since that time, he's been a shadow of himself. Lazio noticed that and declared him surplus to requirement and since they sent him away to the Turkey, dude has been overly crappy. 9 Likes |

The coach should not play ogu in CB, he doesnt have the speed ooo, a good winger will make a meal of him, he was there because of his natural left foot, idowu honestly didnt do much but was at least better than echiejile, ogu should shield the defence in DM allowing ndidi t roam in CM and mikel AM. onazi must go, along with joel their time is up, if they make to world cup, they will be highly exposed. 3 Likes |

Friends, countrymen, Nairalanders..... #EngNig... Watching the first half got me soooo annoyed at our reactionary approach to games and I fear this is a serious problem. Whatever happened to us actually playing our own game? What is it with sitting down and waiting for our opponents to show us their hand before we deal? My stomach was really turning when I saw them English take over the midfield. We couldnt string 3passes together without them interrupted. Did we also have to wait till 2nd half to do the needful changes? 5 friendlies and we are yet to sort out a workin and meaningful midfield and yet we keep talking goalkeeper. Even if Rohr is trying sooo much not to reveal his game plan to opponents watching,... any fool already knows that his ultimate pattern is 3-5-2. Who is he kidding? I am not gonna talk about players who goofes today because right abt nw is not the time for any experimentation. The whole reason why we are in this mess, if truth be told is Rorh's conservative approach. The moment he noticed us losing the battle in the midfield, he shd have drafted Mikel to the deep to shut down things. Waiting till 2nd half to do necessary changes might be too late in some games. We might not be sooo lucky to recover. I hear a lot of people saying we seem intimidated in the first 30 minutes. But the question I have is does it mean we cant at least string accurate passes just to kill the time and pressure? We dont need to even try and score... at least boss the midfield .... frustrate the opponent a little. I dont think that should be too hard? If pressure is what is the problem, then we have to devise a means of soaking that up. Learn to pass accurately and keep it tight. No need goin forward! Shikena. The earlier our gaffer starts playing accordin to his team's strength, the beta. Enough of this player cannot be benched for that player. Oh... and one more thing.... if reactionary tactics is how Rorh gets his results, then we gotts be ready to be coming from behind a lot at the mundial. I hope it works 6 Likes |

Joebie: *Yimu* Many times but the English boys intercepted balls passed to him and got the balls from him when he held on too much. It simple means they pressed our midfield, most especially Mikel but he was not smart enough to release the ball on time. |

In as much as we blame certain players today let's remember the first goal was a poor jump by our captain and in the second goal he never ran back to close down the luxury of space the scorer had before shooting. The moment the pass was misplaced by his colleague he was utterly displeased. Team spirit. Not big man. 4 Likes |

forgiveness:Yeah Awaziem might get dropped. I remember there were reports that Ogu trained as a CB in the past, didn't think Rohr would try out in a game. One of the benefits of having someone like him as a CB in a three man defence is he can always switch back to a 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 when required. After this world cup, Rohr needs to look at our midfield options. He should be looking at more creative CMs. Get someone who can pass from deep if he insists on playing Mikel as a 10. |

Would this formation work? ————————Uzoho——————- ——-Omeruo——Ekong—-Balogun———- —Ebuehi——-Mikel——Ndidi——-V. Moses——- —————————-Iwobi———————— ——————-A. Musa——S. Nwankwo——— I feel that Ahmed Musa, given the way his pace and trickery bamboozled the Congolese and English defenders, should be given a starting spot on Wednesday. Then, in the 2nd half, either Iheanacho or Ighalo could sub-in for him. Or is Musa better utilized as a second half substitute? |

edi287: Well, Simmy’s movement-both on the ball and off the ball- was ok against DR Congo. And he was a constant menace to their defense. So, his movement coupled with his hold-up play would be a useful offensive weapon for Rohr. |

kennysville: A big challenge we have when Onazi plays in the hole between the defence and midfield is his reluctance to shield and be part of the defensive shape. This does not only help the defence but also helps in build-up plays. I wonder after all these while Rohr decided to start this game with Onazi instead of John Ogu who gives us more stability in defence and build-up plays. 1 Like |
