Ighalo does not work the channels, Kelechi and Musa did.

Musa was running all over the place, the defenders could not pin him down. For the second goal, Ighalo would have been in the center not in the position where Musa was, to take advantage of Omeruo's clearance.


Thank you for clarifying
That bring to the question is Musa an out and out strike Same goes for nacho

When comparing movement including runs you have to take some things into consideration like position been played and others

Musa went for the more difficult option. He could have lost to ball to the keeper. Nacho asked for the ball before Musa skipped past the Goalkeeper. On normal terms, if Musa missed that ball he could have been crucified because Nacho was better placed to finish it.

That is another reason I pointed at Moses attacking because attackers can get away with being selfish.

The goalkeeper anticipated a pass to Iheanacho and he could have caught the ball but Musa did otherwise.

In short, many people never anticipated Musa should pass because he was on the motion and thinks happened fast. He followed his instinct and it worked.

Whether the match was meaningless or not, Enyeama showed he had the trait of a great goalkeeper in that particular match. Finito

I am not saying Uzoho is bad but if we see a better goalkeeper than him, it should be a welcome development.

Abi, you no dey pray to get something better than Enyeama?
When u see something good. Just swallow your pride & admit. Its in this forum you were shouting upandan that Uzoho is going to world cup and how Aiyenugba is d best GK in Nigeria. & how SE will collect bucket load of goals.
You must be so disappointed that the young man has been marvelous.

Musa plays as an out and out striker for CSKA. Iheanacho played like a support striker which i think is his best role.

Ighalo was a little isolated in previous games. His style of play does not offer much movement so our balls forward are predictable. This limits the number of chances we create.

Guys , I didnt watch the game but I am not surprised the 3-5-2 formation we have been clamoring for got us the win instead of playing a one man attack with Ighalo on goal drought. I am also glad Rohr listened to us and the voice of wisdom and moved Mikel to DM which gave him the liberty to express his vision to its fullness.

T[b]o be honest Ahmed Musa is not my favourite player and I am still not sold on him even after the 2 goals because I know he is not constant with this impressive showing, [/b]however just because he has the momentum I will start him ,henceforth. What I dont understand is why Rohr brought in Ighalo instead of Simmy.

I dont care if this team makes it to semi final I still want Rohr discharged of his duties after the world cup. I want a young African coach who is not afraid to take chances. I mean ,we have to much talent in our hands to be messing with this old dinosaur. I want Siasia back,biko.

I have always said that Idowu is the weakest link in our set up and it infuriates me whenever I see him on the line up...What a weak player.

I was not surprised Omeruo put in a great show,dude has been in terrific form ever since he hot married...Good woman is a blessing to her home.

Balogun is a monster...Nothing more to say.

Ekong has improved on his ball handling,I am happy for him.

Ndidi is yet to do what we have known him for...I want him to explode asap.

I want Iwobi to start in AM not in the wing and I dont know who to drop but I want to see him and Nacho starting.

Great display by the Eagles

I agree with you on this sir

I still think iwobi, iheanaco and simy should start

Don't wanna drag it further the point is dat when you have a deadly pointman upfront, you play according to his strength to cause maximum demage,.

Look at his club videos, and even take RODGERS Celtic Coach during his Liverpool time and what he did with suarez

Musa had to stop and picked a tight angle while there was a chunk of space open between the defenders and the keeper for Nacho to finish.

Nacho is more electric in the box and a pass would have ended the struggle. However, like I told some people where I watched the match, Musa knew what he was doing. He went for the spectacula and achieved, lucky he did not end with the ordinary.

By that time Kelechi was behind him and passing to him be back pass when he faced with only the post with two defenders but no goalkeeper.

Remember, Musa na striker no be back man. He did the needful. Finito

yes he had the trait but nobody could have guessed he would become best goalkeeper ever he was still rough around the edges then

Yes I want the best for every position what I'm saying is francis has also shown signs that he will be one of our great goalkeepers

Yes I want someone better than vincent and francis might just be the one but that does not mean we won't keep looking for the best goalkeepers just like any other position on the field

We should play according to Ighalo's strength to cause maximum damage? You know this is the world cup right? We don't have the time to accommodate a striker with poor goal returns for Nigeria.

Of course! Enyeama was relegated to the bench for Austin Ejide when Berti came as a coach.

We have 180 million population and there was no census done to conclude only me have reservation. Was there?

So, if we discover a better goalkeeper afterwards because new coach rarely change no 1 goalies, we should ignore such talent because he is no 1 goalie?

Ezenwa no bi no 1 before? grin

Akpeyi no bi no 1 before? grin

As em take be no 1 na em another better one go be no 1.

This is life.
leave tomorrow to deal with tomorrow

We know that Enyeama's height was a factor for Vogts, it was the one thing that always went against him, so, we understand his own wahala. That one no join.

For today, give praises to who it is due. Pesin wey do well suppose get pat on the back. So, leave tomorrow for tomorrow to handle its self.

how was Enyeama better? A 19-year old Enyeama was better, how many clean sheets did he record at a senior World Cup at 19?

Enyeama was better than Uzoho at 19 is not a fact, it is an opinion

No doubt Etebo is a good player, hard tackling,good stamina but he cannot be mentioned in the same breath with iwobi when it comes to creativity.


Creativity is not all a time needs, do you see how Modric plays? He is an attacking midfielder who makes tackles, heavily track backs, goes forward and is back again, if scouts were on that pitch for a creative midfielder, they would've improvise for Etebo.


Now do not take anything from Iwobi, great player, but he should be fighting places with Iheanacho, this team is setup to breath around a DM, DM, box-box dynamo. Kante is more priceless to France than Pogba.

FT: Mexico 2:1 S/Korea.

But Mexico are not through yet and Korea can still qualify. How?

I have explained already how Mexico can crash out.

But how can Korea qualify?

If Germany should beat Sweden tonight.

We have:

Mexico 6points
Germany 3points
Sweden 3points
Korea 0

Last game:
Germany Vs Korea
Mexico Vs Sweden.

If Korea beats Germany and Mexico beats Sweden, all 3 of Germany, Korea and Sweden will be on 3pts and goals difference will separate.

But if Germany Vs Sweden ends in a draw tonight, Mexico are through and Korea are out. Then Mexico would be joined by one of Germany or Sweden.

Mind you if Nigeria can be hoping to beat Argentina why can't Korea hope to beat Germany?

guy, the matter tire me

As Uzoho has now done far better than was expected of him, we are now dragging retired Enyeama into the discussion

Anyway, it is a good sign that Uzoho is being compared to a great goalie like Enyeama, that means he has greatness ahead of him, and unlike Enyeama, something as important as height, will not impede his progress
