diadem10: I disagree, Mikel was very good.. He read the game very well. Iheanacho linked the midfield with the attack. He did not have to be a presence because he played a different role to Ighalo. He was a support striker to Musa so played behind Musa. Ighalo took up the main striker role when he came on and Musa played behind him 4 Likes |

diadem10: Maybe this was the sacrifice he was talking about, remember he lacks pace. Agreed he wasn't impressive, but he also wasn't bad, to be honest that theatrics to waste time at the end of the game was his best play (pun intended). |

tbaba1234:Nope, Musa was the SS. Nacho just didn't know what position to take up. Oops you think musa was the striker because he scored the goals? Mikel didn't read any game abeg. Not doubting he took up good position but was mostly retrogressive in his play. 2 Likes |

OMANBALA1: There is the difference between being physical and rough. The koreans were rather rough on their opponents than physical. They didn't have the energy to be physical, they were instead committing fouls. When u talk about physicality u talk about strength. Senegal and Iceland are the true definition of physicality. |

tbaba1234:Not always. Interchanging you would say. Ighalo was behind Musa at one point too. |

do4luv14: They need to do something different. Initially I thought it was an Arabian DNA thing, but some of the best players the world have seen, are of north African origin. Why they haven't been able to challenge the world is quite a mystery. |

diadem10: Iheanacho was involved in linking up the midfield and attack much more than Musa. Ighalo played mainly as a target man when he cam on. Two different roles. 4 Likes |

tbaba1234: Ighalo for me created the missing link that was missing all through the game. HOLD UP PLAY We have a young and inexperienced goalkeeper who more often not than kicks the ball out at any sign of trouble. Which inevitably comes back to us, it is a weakness. This is something he will continue to do and will do more against the Argentines when they high press us. It is therefore ESSENTIAL that you have an outlet to win that long ball in the air and hold it up and give us attacking options. That's where IGHALO comes in, he is the best at this in our team. I do not think it's in dispute KC has zero hold up play and can not win the ball against physically imposing CB'S. In addition very limited aerial threat. Ighalo has physicality, presence aerial ability and creates an ever present threat to CB'S this causes them to be unsettled creating attack options for both Ighalo and any other players coming FORWARD. Yes his goal tally may not be great but he brings something that nobody else does. Against Argentina I doubt if we will out pass them, but we can hit them on the brake, I also expect Etebo to checkmate Messi. However thier entire defence line up lacks PACE something that Musa, Ebuehi, Moses, Etebo can capitalise upon. 3 Likes 1 Share |

tbaba1234:What stupid linkup when we have Etebo? Just say Nacho didn't know what position to take up. He was supposed to play Ighalo's role because Musa is a SS but he lacks the presence and was forming one stupid activity. If Ighalo wasn't acting stupid yesterday, the team looked more potent with 2 forwards acting as forwards. 1 Like |

charlesemeka85: Sorry to take us backwards what does Idowu have over Aina. Because even with my English bias as some call it I am at loss to see it. I actually haven't seen him cross the ball once his positional sense is quite weak to be honest. 2 Likes |

forgiveness: I would agree with you without reservation. In order to make a substantive deduction about quality what is benchmark or unit of measurement that we are using. Is it just height or is it the youngest or is it club performances, he has had two senior games in club football he is essentially an academy player. Uzoho has done OK not exceptional the only thing that distinguishes him from all the other Nigerian goalkeepers is one thing, OPPORTUNITY. For whatever reason he was given the opportunity thats all, there was no methodology to it. If other goalkeeper were given the same opportunity would they have done better, We will never know because they were NEVER GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY or you could say in the negative they were denied opportunity. But that no longer matters he is the one selected we will support him. How far will he go in club football after the world cup. I absolutely have no idea, but it's a big boost to his career at age 19. 1 Like |

andrew444: Your assertion becomes contradictory because it actually justifies the position of Forgiveness. Your condemned by your proposition but then you want to condemn somebody else, but consider the failed proposition you present see in bold. What in earth then is the NFF doing with an academy goalkeeper being selected for SE. Knowing fully well he is inexperienced, untested and unproven. Is he the best we have And how do know was he tested in comparison to other Nigerian academy goalkeepers across Europe Was he tested as better than our goalkeepers in our local leagues A claim can be made that without an objective open and free methodology for selection that thier is some form of favoritism at play is not without credence. Nonetheless, he is selected and I will support him is it fair CERTAINLY NOT, however life is not fair. 1 Like 1 Share |
