someone yesterday said ighalo has had more handshakes than football touches on the pitch.

goldfish80:
It was football malpractice by Rohr to start Moses last night after just one training session with the team. Musa should have started while Moses came in to see out the game in the last 15-20 mins. That is how professionals work.

MetalJigsaw:
I want to see Iwobi in AM again. He was fantastic yesterday. He practically seems to stake a strong claim on that position.

I'd like something like this next game:

.............,.....Uzoho

.......Omeruo. Ekong. Balogun

Ebuehi Ndidi Ogu Moses/Idowu

..............Mikel.. Iwobi

..................Ighalo/Simy





.........................Uzoho

.........Omeruo Ekong. Balogun

Ebuehi. Ndidi. Ogu Idowu/Moses

...................Mikel


.............Iwobi. Ighalo/Simy

Suppose Naija lost to Norway like the way Iceland did to them . This thread don explode

nelszx:

The short passes destabilized the English they couldn't cope with it. They should work more on that too

zuchyblink:
Iwobi has scored 5 goals for SE in 18 matches from the midfield while Ighalo has scored 4 in the same number of matches for the SE from CF position .

Icon4s:


I am sure if Rohr had done what you just suggested you will still be among those that will question why Rohr started Musa ahead of Moses. Why didn't you make the suggestion before the match?


We are always quick to provide alternatives after the did is done.

daveP:



that's me. he claps for who, I dunno. applauding circus to him.

Kog45:
Yes no convincing performance from Aina,still young,hope he comes good in future.

goldfish80:

I practice what I preach. I dont believe in after thoughts as you can see for yourself

Khaytunechi:


that guy's only relevance on the pitch is useless clappings and handshakes.. if the camera is showing him you'll think he's done so much,, not knowing that it's because he's about to clap that they're showing him..

goldfish80:


Fact is that Ebuehi appears more comfortable playing in a 3-5-2 formation as the wing back than the conservative flat back 4. I think this could the reason why Shehu still starts ahead of him.

nelszx:
Final 23

edi287:

Rohr needs to tell him to calm down. He is too eager to impress. There was absolutely no need to clash heads with Leon Balogun. It was hilarious and quite sad

andrew444:


Hope you watched your onazi yesterday who can't make accurate pass ?

I was telling you but you are just speaking about the Congo game using it to cover up? I hope you are disappointed by him yesterday ? The guy don fat.

Correct me if I am wrong

Thank you

Icon4s:


OK, I see

charlesemeka85:
onazi have to leave the Turkish league this summer. the guy have regressed so damn much. i re watched the match last night on you-tube and i observed he was the most useless player on the pitch during the first half of the encounter. the guy was so poor and confused. his current body structure doesn't tell well of his fitness. the guy is fat and looks like a Sunday league footballer. joel obi didn't fair better but he was strong with his tackles and runs.his problem so far is that he is too eager to impress and that brought a lot of pressure on him. ebuehi is the undisputed starter in the right back position, his introduction brought spark to the right side of the pitch and the way he tracked back was lovely to behold. benfica got their selves a very good right back in ebuehi. idowu was assured at left back but seem not too comfortable when in possession, but notwithstanding i will pick him ahead of elderson. if rohr want to make a statement in the world cup he should deploy iwobi as the team number 10. the kid was magical yesterday and he the result was in the teams favor he would have been the undisputed man of the match. in the teams next friendly against czech, rohr should experiment the trio of iwobi, mikel and ndidi in the midfield and see if it works. i think the trio will blend together with better understanding. mikel and ndidi should be deployed behind iwobi where as mikel will be the central midfielder who can move forward when there is need and ndidi as the anchor man. all the same the team did their best and the english team i saw yesterday is no where near world class. in a competitive match we can win them comfortably

andrew444:


You no go give up on shehu abi upon all the proove?

Shehu starts ahead of him in shehu comfortable position yet Ashley young dey claim Messi with shehu and the wing dey leak,I tire for naija people,and mind you I am not saying shehu is not a good player.

Kog45:
Sir is not about calming down but he is not the same Joel again,three matches with no cleared cut performance,taking him to WC would be pure sentiment though i don't rate Agu but he deserve it more than Joel.

Martz101:


because na iheanacho get the team, i love iheanacho but your sentiment to him is annoying, making case and excuse for him but you won't do that for other strikers

Mickael2:



I would ask the match then you'd probably tell me against Leeds united and I would say oh Leeds

I asked in reference to the national team sha, that's our yardstick isn't it anymore?

goldfish80:

I'm just stating a fact. Some players adapt better to some formations than others.
Ebuehi is similar to Marco Alonso. These guys are made for the wing back role in a 3-5-2 formation more than a flat back 4.
And for the record, I have always wanted Shehu to be tried in midfield where I think he will be better than Onazi and Joel.

AIG07:
I think it's hi-time Rohr sits V. Moses down and let him understand the Mission of the team in Russia. Moses needs to see and put the team first ahead of any personal glory.

If Moses can assure him(ROHR) and the team to be discipline in any role given to him, I don't see a reason why he can't be played as a WB most especially a LWB(though have been against this all this while). Going forward, we need to have all hands on deck.

We can then Line-up this way. Still 3-5-2

UZOHO

EKONG(RCB)-BALOGUN(CB)-OMUERO(LCB)

EBUEHI(RWB)-NDIDI(DMF)-IWOBI(AMF)-MIKEL(CMF)-MOSES(LWB)

IHEANACHO(CF)-IGHALO(CF).

With this kind of set up, we should be able to stand our own ground against anyside. IDOWU can always deputise for both WBs.

Kog45:
It is not about praising Ebuehi is better remember i rated Shehu ahead but with what i saw against Congo and England even a blind will start Ebuehi.

kabrudrapist:
Why is rohr fielding horrible players. So it means that of all the players playing for Nigeria both at home and abroad, this is the best rohr can come up with.
1 Goal drought ighalo
2 Brainless Musa
3 Pregnant Onazi
4 Clueless Joel
5 Retired Elderson
6 Weak Balogun
With this mediocre team i don't expect them qualifying the group stage.

kabrudrapist:
Gernot rohr should be sacked after the world cup to make way for Sampson Siasia
