So far, the World Cup has delivered in drama and we might be witnessing the Best World Cup ever. Very soon hundreds of millions of eyes will beam on the match between Nigeria and Argentina. It is a do or die game for both sides and I hope Rohr puts aside any sentiment to go for blood. Time for our Young stars to show the World that Super Eagles can roar. 6 Likes

I'm so happy for our victory yesterday! But credit must be given to those who deserves it. First to the entire team for perfect execution of the match. Rohr also deserves some praise for been brave. Finally, he did the unthinkable. Starting Moses as a WB. I knew it. All he needed was to sit Moses down and talk sense into him and we all saw the result of such decision. Moses on the other hand was damn to much and his contribution was immense. He defended more and attacked with grit. On a lighter note, he didn't fall unnecessarily this time around(may be 3 or 4 times through out the entire 90mins. Kudos too goes to Mikel for leading by example. He accepted the defensive midfield role and did a great job. I also love the way he feigned that injury to help pause the game and allow our boys to catch some breath as they were almost all gasing out at the same time. Though I was initially scared of a potential injury to the captain. But relaxed when he wave his hand for continuation. Salute to the Man himself. Musa too was brilliant yesterday. He his more potent as a striker than a winger. He made good use of his pace to out ran the Iceland defender. Ighalo wanted to do something similar but baba heavy for ground. His combo with Iheanacho should be retained for our next match against Argentina. Ndidi and Etebo were the steel in our midfield. Ndidi posed a five start performance. He was just unlucky,he could have gotten a goal. I so much love the way they kept shooting on goal from outside the penalty area. Musa hit the cross bar with his missile. Ndidi caused the goal keeper to divert his own over the bar no thanks to the little deflection cos that was goal bound. Ebuehi did well but he seem not to be happy. He started with some kinda reluctant attitude. But picked himself up after the first goal. Was happy we have finally capped him. I think it was unfair dropping Aina without trying him out on the right and Shehu too in the middle. Who knows they might have been better than what we have. Our 3 man defense well absolutely resolute yesterday. Balogun showing how to do it. Love the way he intercepted some balls. Omuero is what we need in that defence to quench any threats from crosses and set-pieces. This came as surprise to the vikings. Cos their plan was to hurt us through set pieces and crosses since we are vulnerable to anything like that. But alas, our defenders rose to the occasion. It came to a time I myself was not bothered by those incessant kicks as I felt that we are now capable. Our setup in defending the corners too has changed and improved. Good work. I hope they work on the way we take ours. Indirect freekicks does not have to be crossed in. There is need for innovation. Kelechi was trying to do something by calling his team mate to come receive pass but they were not interested. Finally, Uzoho was muah yesterday. He answered every call rightly. He his maturing with every game. 9 Likes |

Rohr deserves some accolade, he started the 3-5-2 in Nigeria, most of our home base coach won't try that, his changes are always spot on. this man can't do all what we want. and for thos saying Rohr is inept now they can eat there words |

Martz101: I disagree on the changes. The change pulling out Nacho for Ighalo was awful. Musa was the best option out and bringing in John Ogu. While Etebo pairs with Nacho upfront, contributing a lot to defending. The Iwobi change was also another poor call. Rohr needs to grow some balls and also make better changes to suit the team. We can do better if Rohr can just take his foot off the brakes. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by semid4lyfe(m): 8:29am On Jun 23, 2018 |
It seems 3-5-2 or it's variants is the way to go in the modern game. It puts numbers in defence, midfield and also the attack with marauding & overlapping wing backs. It's alien to our football culture and Phillipe Troussier was sacked for playing it despite qualifying Nigeria for the world cup. I hope this formation can be inculcated and drilled into players in the academies and at the grassroot level cos truth is it's not "our thing". In my amateur football days, I never played in such a formation and no team I played against adopted the formation. The preferred formation for Nigerian coaches is 4-4-2. Even in my Saturday morning leisure footballs, we always choose players and set up to play 4-4-2. Our coaches particularly at the grassroot levels and academies need to play 3-5-2 more so they can develop the right personnel and build all round players particularly with wing backs. 2 Likes |

AIG07: We need to show more intention in our corner-kicks. Just like one of the routines during the qualifiers that Nacho blasted a rocket into the net. I also agree we need to utilize our shooting power with more shots from range. It is another strength of our players. |

I don't know what Ighalo did to you guys go and watch the match again. You guys are so biased. He fought for that ball got it wanted to pass to Musa but a defender arrived, he then passed to Iwobi who made a mess of that chance. You guys are not blaming Iwobi but busy blaming the creator of the chance. Astonishing!! AIG07: 2 Likes |

andrew444:Thank you. Do we need to criticize any player after our victory against Iceland? NO cos they gave us our desired result. Truly first half was abysmal but second half guys rose to the challenges and were solid all through and why too much noise on Ighalo performance especially from this thread,honestly he did well and if anybody still criticise Moses for yesterday performance, such person need attention. Uzoho for the first time tells me Nigeria goalkeeping dept is secured for the future, Moses was massive and he did well with a great assist and good to see replica of his Chelsea performance. Ebuehi came in and was solid though he gave out two penalties with one given. Idowu looked. solid and good that Rohr subbed him cos he was already booked. Omeruo remain a man to pair Balogun not Ekong.He had a wonderful assist from the back.Solid performance. Balogun really showed the experience of a defender with his intelligent displayed, very massive defender. Ekong did well and really came into the party in the second half Mikel orchestrated the midfield from the deep and dictated the pace of the game with calmness. Ndidi is gradually coming into the party,a good shot but not yet our NDIDI, hope to see our Ndidi against Argentina and am seeing him neutralise Messi. Etebo is showing the consistency that has been his undue in eagles, two solid performance Iheanacho did well but i want to see more of him cos against Argentina he must raise his game. Ahmed Musa proved us wrong by showing 5 star performance telling us he is a class.4 WC goals and still counting. Good to see Iwobi who gave us good option either as RM or AM. Ighalo came in and gave Iceland defence little headache. Good performance from our boys cos they gave us hope that never relent until it is done and against Argentina we are winning. Good to see Rohr and his backroom staffs back into reckoning cos the team performance against Croatia brought a question mark on their tactical abilities.

Quite surprised when someone said Iceland had 8 shots on target in the first half. I had to watch the first half numerous times again to be sure if I actually watch the right match loll. We were average and quite impressive. We had some sleek movement that could have given us an aim at goal but kelechi and musa were muscled off the ball and just when we need the last connecting pass to create something we miss. So average but quite impressive in the first half Martz101: |
