Certitude:

Is Ideye not also good at holding up play. Seriously, I had envisaged him not making the World Cup squad if we qualified until he scored against Cameroon. Even at his top form, he was of little use.

TheGoodJoe:


Drawing or losing the game would have been detrimental.

Finito.

eterisan:
did you mean this?

Martz101:


the change can't make us loose game, been defensive with our change will put us on more pressure.

TheGoodJoe:
I still believe we have a sleeping weapon in Victor Moses and if he had the opportunity to play the same role Musa had, he would have been impressive. I hope Moses get the chance soon to show what he can do as an attacker.

Either way, Musa was prolific and deserves the accolades he gets.

When you think of the amount of players with similar attributes like Onyekuru, Chukwueze, Success, you can see in a set-up that promotes these kind of players, we can have a formidable team.

forgiveness:


Is it Nwakali? I don't think he is among the top 5 of players similar in attributes to those players.

He down the pecking order.

Jarus:


We have to give him credit still.

He was the one that made us know 3-5-2 could work for us by testing it in friendly. Otherwise, we may not have thought we can play with such formation which is alien to our traditional style.

I just re-watched the highlights of the Iceland game for the first Time this morning.

I saw Ighalo asking for Rohr to bring him in

(In Ibu's voice) So na true this thing una dey talk since

TheGoodJoe:
I also found Ighalo telling Rohr to let him in and the coach responding to his demand disturbing. Especially, expecting us to switch to a one man upfront formation to defend the lead.

Another school boy penalty conceded yesterday.

They are gradually gaining tournament experience.

forgiveness:


We don't know what transpired behind the scene.

Rohr could have told him to prepare once we scored the second goal or Rohr must have told him something that gave the liver to remind the coach.

Like... Can I go in now?

We don't know.

TheGoodJoe:


At that time, an offensive change is a wrong call. Securing the lead was the right option and the changes did not show that.

Gerrit?

soetanoreoluwa:


I paid full attention to yesterday match like myself was on it... When I said they said it was a lie...

Actually he is meant to enter but you will see his gesture than he really want to play... He's looking so pressure Knowingfully well his position is at risk and he need to prove the coach right....

TheGoodJoe:


I do not understand what you are asking. There is no Nwakali in what you quoted. And high of the Nwakali's are you referring to?

soetanoreoluwa:


But Ebuehi look so confident and so technically defending... I just need to give it to him...

Firigbo ko si e leku at alll.. Them no dey use body do am o

Martz101:


it was not an offensive change, the change retained our shape, like for like.

eterisan:
check the moniker wey u de quote oga..... Nor be me and you Chriskels de attack yesterday. Same me and criticize ndidi for poor first half.... Bros you de forget yourself

Icon4s:


Ah...….see my school boy!!!!!!!!

Which former Super Eagles players did you meet? Emma Amuneke, Kachi Amuneke or Bina Ajuwa. I hope you know Samson Siasia finished from our sister school Gaskiya?


I know two of those 3 teachers you just mentioned. Did you meet Mr Adedotun?

But where be that ECN may be it was not there during our time.

Oasis007:


LOL........ I ain't taking it personal nah! No vex Bruh!

forgiveness:


I asked because I was not sure.

I thought it is Chidi Nwakali. Sorry.

If it the Villareal B lad, I think he is similar but down the pecking order for now.

He should be allowed to prove himself in a decent league. That's all.

Martz101:


how many time has Ronaldo or neymar been substituted because of this things you mentioned

fabyom:
One mistake and they will forget all the good things you have done. Unfortunately bros, that is the kind of world we live in

TheGoodJoe:


I want the best in every role and not a particular player. So I wonder why Nwakali popped up.

Also, Kelechi Nwakali might not be as pacy as the likes of Chukwueze and Moses but he has insane stamina and covers a lot of grass. Which also falls in line with what I am pointing out. Chidiebere Nwakali is fast and has insane stamina.

I am pointing out that a mixture of pace, intensity and stamina should be a big part of our team selection.

mank1234:
A back heel from Ighalo to the player that was alone in the 18 could have resulted in a goal but instead he held up play until more opponents arrived then he passed to Iwobi who took on one then take a shot that was blocked. That's how he killed a chance (counter) that would have given us a third goal.

Not that holding up play is bad. His style of hold up play would suit a team with great shot takers where he places the ball in the path of the on-rushing shot taker. Unfortunately, we are not good at that. So the best bet is to bring him in when we are sure the match is wrapped up.

do4luv14:


I think I meet him before he was transfer, even Mr. Meme the .aths teacher,
It was kachi who came to school to speak with us to join Emma fans club, emma was playing for barca then,

ECN is a very pupolar bus-stop, it's near to Emma residence when going to suru-alaba from boundary, near lake primary school itire

fabyom:
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!!

Icon4s:


Yeah, but on a second thought, I think Rohr initially wanted to bring him in and so he was probably asking Rohr if he should still pull off and go in. But I noticed he wasn't showing any emotions towards the goal just being scored at that time. He was more after his coming in.

Icon4s:


I was specifically making reference to that tackle that caused the penalty. It was not necessary.
