can we compare his endorsements to Dele Alli's who chose England and is having a considerably 'better' career?


Dele Alli is an English player so also is Tammy, grin Welbeck grin, Sturridge grin etc

I doubt Alli, Lingard and Co, presently have better endorsements.

Any player trying to cause disaffection in camp should be sent home and replaced ASAP.

What a hell with Onazi saying such rubbish to the press,meaning he has beef with some guys in the team.

I watched the match again yesterday Onazi was damn too poor,running all over and doing nothing.


I have always told you guys that Onazi boy shouldn't be playing for Nigeria anymore, age has caught up with him, dude has passed his prime, he peaked as far back as 2013 through 2014. Now he's looking for who to go down with.

Someone who knows Onazi well, who grew up in the same hood with him said Onazi is not any less than 35. The potbelly you are seeing has nothing to do with lack of proper training, its just old age taking its toll.

That guy will sack Rohr like Agbim, Ruben and Co sacked Keshi.

Iwobi's Joy and passion playing for Nigeria makes me happy. After scoring that goal see the way he was jumping up using his hand to signal to the Nigerian supporters to Shout.
Body language matters in football, sometimes some players that are not so good starts ahead of the others because of their body language.
That's why LINGARD starts ahead of MARTIAL.
AINA's body language playing for us does not show enough passion maybe that was why he was drop.

often times the coach do start Lallana or Ox ahead of Alli isn't that ridiculous. Can you compare Tottenham Alli's to England. No. His body language playing for Tottenham shows excitement but he looks bored playing for England.

Yea. Aina didnt really impress. Even at that Left back position, 3 candidates can play there(4 if u add Ogu). Echiejile, Idowu and Awaziem. Aina's strong advantage is that he is still young compared to the other names(except Awaziem) and he will be playing for a bigger club Chelsea nxt season. I pray they don't loan him out again

TheSuperNerd.. I've sen enough opinions on this. My opinion is based on my own observations. Some will also agree with me. I'm in no way trying to downplay our improvement in the second half. But I reiterate we did not own the second half. Maybe you want to be specific as to what we owned in that half. But on the whole, we were not significantly better than England in the second half.

The People’s MOTM, this 22 year-old Gunner is One to Get Fully Behind
(written on June 3rd)





It is fair to say that Alex Iwobi has his critics among the Arsenal faithful. He was only six weeks old when England beat the mighty Oranje in 1996 (4-1) and that tells you how young he still is. Yet there really are already more than a handful of Gunners who want him sold! They have seen enough, they tell me. Everybody is entitled to have an opinion, of course, but come on: give the boy a chance!!


https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44343704


Yesterday, Alex was voted Player of the Match by the fans, and quite rightly so (see link above).

The Super Eagles were played off the pitch by the Three Lions in the first half, but Alex was the only one who dealt well with the impressive press that was applied by the home team. He constantly held on to the ball and made space for himself without it and with it. He then found a fellow player in enough space to pass the ball to regularly, and thus start an attack from beating the press. I was less impressed by Iwobi’s fellow midfielders who often lost the ball when the slightest bit of pressure was applied to them, which then left the defenders exposed time and again.

England scored twice and should have scored more goals as they outclassed Nigeria completely during the first half.
However, Gernot Rohr did a fab job in making tactical changes – three at the back and four substitutions – and getting his team re-focused for the second half, whilst England’s boys clearly felt they had done enough in the first half and/or were unable to respond adequately to Nigeria’s changes.
The Super Eagles scored within two minutes and then their wing-tales were up, the away crowd were behind them even more and the midfield was dominated by the visitors till the end of the game. It was Iwobi who set up the deadly attack with a fine ball to Ighalo from the centre of midfield; the former Watford striker hit the post with his precise diagonal strike and he was unlucky not to score; but the ball bounced back towards the ‘D-area’ and there was Alex to calmly steer it past defenders and keeper to score a fine, Ramseyesque goal.

Alex kept making himself available and linked up the midfield with attack constantly. At the end he tired and he may have picked up a small injury, but Rohr was not going to sub his best player – one of only five players who played the whole game.

With 1.4 key passes per game, 5 assists and three goals in
26 PL games last season, our 22 year young brightest attacking star from our youth ranks is one to get fully behind and believe in. And I cannot wait to see more of him at the Oranje-deprived WC in a couple of weeks time.


**By TotalArsenal.

For the most parts we owned that second half. Many agree with this. Let us not be conservative with the truth. We know we must improve but the truth remains that we indeed owned England in that second half. Enough of the overly conservative talk. We dominated the midfield in that second half for the most parts from beginning to end and the ref even ended the game when we were on the attack with seconds on the clock left before 94 mins. EOD. And Iwobi was definitely our star man at Wembley. Our no.1 top performer on the overall.

Players That Have Been Played Out Of Position In SE and STILL Gave A Good Account Of Themselves:

Alex Iwobi
John Ogu
Shehu Abdullahi
Mikel Obi

I love Aina just as much as anybody else, and honestly, I still feel bad that he's out of the team, but let us stop peddling tales of being played out of position....that means little to nothing. He was brought to unseat Echiejile, he couldn't do that. He had not one bright game and that was what necessitated Idowu's call up. It was Idowu that kicked out Aina.

Now, I would have preferred dropping a Joel Obi, because as far as I concerned, that one is useless to the team, but I'm not Rohr.

And for those saying other foreign born players will not want to play for Nigeria because of an 'Aina' treatment, they need to get their heads out their asses. We are taking Ekong, Balogun, Ebuehi, Idowu, Iwobi to World Cup.....Aina was the only FB who missed out, so, how that translates to a 'poor return' for FBs is beyond me.

There was no poor treatment of Aina, Aina simply failed to step up when he needed to. If you want to go to the World Cup so much, there is no reason why you can't acclimatize yourself to another position. It's not like they turned him into a striker from a defender, so all this talk about out of position blah blah blah is bollocks.

yea.. there are other aspects of the stats that we did better.. but sentiments aside, watching that 2nd half, Nigeria was not significantly better. One moment of magic in the opening minutes and a pretty open game, with a better midfield.

Modified
It's not like England were not springing passes. The did what they always did, It's just that we stepped up in that department and matched/neutralized them.
