adetoya234: Truth be told this is the situation We are neither lucky or good enough....the worst combo one can get Be it foreign, be it local....I don't see any coach who would have changed Nigeria's fortunes.. If our best player is wing back at a club....why did we have much expectations to begin with? Siasia wouldn't have done anything...rohr couldn't have done anything....the players are crappy but we were expecting a miracle....Argentina is not Algeria, Croatia is not Cameroon and Iceland is no Zambia....qualifiers deceived us....we were the least best team in the group as soon as the world cup draw was made 3 Likes |

Firstly I will call out Rohr. Rohr did make some silly decisions. After we fell a goal down, you know we needed goals and you had a goalscorer on the bench in Iheanacho. Why wait till we conceded a second off an Ekong error before doing the needful. We needed more movements upfront... We needed a player who can shoot even with a half chance. Nacho came in and did more in those 20mins than what Ighalo offered throughout the time he was on. To be fair, Ighalo did make some nice touches in the first half but mehn... He didn't threaten enough. We needed more menaching movement. Nacho came on and alongside Musa we saw some better urgency. Even Etebo at a point started outshining Odogwu Mikel. To the errors.... 1. Yes, Etebo cause us an own goal but it was really an unlucky event. It was hard on the young man. He was one of our best players on the pitch today and did almost everything right save for that costly error which was not deliberate. How did it happen? He left the post he was supposed to guard and went in early to try stop a mandzukic header that was already going wide off the mark. If only he had been slow to react... But how was he to do that? What if he didn't react and the header went in... Won't we all still be calling him out for not charging his man down?? See? So I won't blame Etebo much coz he put in a string shift in midfield today and gets my nod to keep benching Onazi. We should try clearing those aerial balls at first sight... And not allowing it to cause mayhem which can lead to mistakes within the 18 yard box. Balogun, Ekong and Mikel even Ndidi should be first to those aerials from set pieces with also about two of them super alert for second balls after first aerial challenges. Set pieces was our biggest undoing today again but I saw a few improvements to have hope. But mehn... Iceland are set piece and long throw kings too... We will face hell on Wednesday trust me... A hell we must try walk out if unscathed. But I still stand by this team. It is not over yet. 2. The fear of conceding another set piece goal made Ekong wrestle Mandzukic to the ground and sadly the ref spotted it and viola, that was the moment we lost the game. Ekong knew that he should have done better. It is sad. The boys matched the Croatians but were undone by two errors which killed off our chances... We cannot afford any more of those against the Might of the Vikings It was always gonna be hard coming back against the Croatians from 2 goals down. This is a game we could have drawn or even won but that second goal killed our changes big time. Just minutes before that second goal I was desperately hoping Rohr brings in an Ebuehi for Shehu, and Iheanacho for Ighalo. Etebo was still ballling and Mikel and Ndidi still gave us a fighting chance in midfield. We needed those changes to push our adventure further and try nick that goal to get back on level terms but lo and behold, it was not to be until another error buried us for good. Nacho came in immediately after that goal went in but it was already too late. Etebo kept fighting... His driving runs, skills and ball winning saw us win more freekicks in midfield but we needed that killer touch upfront... Nacho did spark some fires upfront a bit with Musa but it was already too late. I hope Rohr understands that with two games left, now is the time for rugged and brave decisions to salvage our World cup. We have the players to thrive in a formation that can hurt teams but our conservative approach by accomodatijg Ighalo's goal drought and Shehu's non-adventurous style is seriously holding us back. We need our very best... Not our most capped players in the WCQs... Our very best to get the job done is what we need. [b]At least Rohr was brave enough on this one count to bench Onazi... But Rohr should have taken his bravery further by also realising that an Attack being led by Ighalo won't yield much goals compared to a twin attack led by both Nacho and Iwobi... See how quiet Iwobi was in the game save for a few moments he got on the ball and had his goalbound shot blocked. Iwobi didn't show up today as he did against England and Czech and we needed that Monster Iwobi version. Maybe the occasion overwhelmed him a bit.. His first world cup game but mehn.. Those Icelandic Norse lords didn't give a sh*t and gave their all. It will be hard against them... Really really hard. That is a tougher game than the Argentina game. Also, Rohr should have gone with an Ebuehi but started Shehu. Now Shehu put in a decent shift but offensively he was as flat as a concrete floor. On few occasions when he joined the attack to offer us outlets of penetration, he was not adventurous enough. On two occasions he could have easily crossed or ran into the right channel as an overlapping fullback will do, he hesisaltated and chose to turn and pass... He was scared to cross and be adventurous. YOU DON'T WIN WC GAMES NY BEING TOO CAREFUL ALL THE TIME. THERE ARE TIMES FOR MAD ADVENTURE. I need Ebuehi in this team. We need results... No more time to honor or play loyalty or longevity. This is the time to honor and play THE BEST and MOST GOALS-ORIENTED EFFECTIVE Talents FOR EACH ROLE.[/b] I will surely tip us to cause another twist in this group against Iceland but we (Rohr actually) must be brave in our selections and be ready to stand up against those giants called the Vikings and their defensive DOOR (Halldorsson). I could say so much but fact is we have lost and it is time to move on to the next game. Whinning and lamenting for so long is for wimps.... We don't have much time. We must rise from this. After all, we are not out just yet. Our destiny in Russia still rests in our hands. #SoarSuperEagles 3 Likes |

Rohr has done well for us let's not forget. we did very well aside the errors we made. we only need to build from here, i would say we retain Rohr and let him continue the building of the team. |

I really hope against that as a fan. But as an analyst, I think Croatia can get a point off Argentina. They have the better midfield than the Argentines and a better defence. The Argentine defence is wack. Mujtahida: |

ChrisKels:Much more than the number that started today. We are talking of a staring line up of Emenike, Osaze and Musa, a midfield of Onazi and Mikel, Yobo and Omerua, Enyeama and Efe Ambrose. Also add Victor Moses. Can you compare their experience with Ekongs, Baloguns, Idowus, Shehus, Iwobis and Ighalos, plus Uzoho. The difference is clear Bro, except we want to play the ostrich as usual. |

True, this is the new generation's first major tournament as a team. It is indeed a factor but I won't use that to say "Okay then, let us lose all games and come home... It was our first major tournament after all and it is a heavy big baptism for us".... No way! This team have it in them to fight and fight they must. Icon4s: 1 Like |
