TheGoodJoe: 1. Nacho is not a natural fit in any position from midfield to attack. He's quite inept as a 10, 8 or 9. 2. His skill set is very limited & poor. Poor first touch, poor ball control, no dribbling skills etc 3. No pace at all. 4. No aerial threat, poor hold up play ability etc etc Going forward, the dead weights & players who add no value to the team must be dropped. I consider Nacho to be one of them. We have better & suitable replacements out there. 8 Likes |

Lovely! What happened to Iwobi who has a psychological advantage in this match up? Kog45: |

The question is was he in the air when he nodded the ball? If yes, I must say it’s not easy to keep the hands down while attempting to head the ball in the air. Loogan: |

TheLoneCitizen: Why are you using the word if you don't know what it means. What did Rohr revolutionize in the Super Eagles? Is there something new he brought to the team ? Keep quiet if you don't know what to write and don't use Rohr and revolution in the same sentence. A man without vision, ideology nor plan. |

semid4lyfe: You are really not explaining anything. What is Nacho is not fit to play. That is a joke. I told you, take your time and watch his off the ball performance, he was good. On the ball, it was difficult for Nacho due to the pace of the Argentines. If Moses and Musa who I rate as our best when it comes to moving the ball with pace found it difficult. Musa later had freedom when we scored and the Argentines were in search of the goal, if not the whole team found it difficult keeping the ball. That is down to the brilliant way Sampaoli had conditioned their team to play unlike our team groomed in a conservative manner. My point is so simple. Nacho can not be categorised as poor in that game if you look at the amount of work he put in to battle the Argentines from having comfort. Not exonerating him but demanding balanced analysis. |

I don't see why anyone thinks Idowu was bad yesterday. I feel he has made that left spot his. If Ebuehi was to come in, it should have been for Iheanacho, with Moses moved upfront. 6 Likes |

TheGoodJoe:It is very clear you are not abrest with laws governing the game. Someone posted screenshot of the law, please read it in full. By the way, what was the difference between this incident and that of Portugal? Do you think the Iranian deliberately handled the ball? 3 Likes |

forgiveness: The outstretched part of the write up is when trying to judge if it accidental or not. If a player outstretches his arm and an opponent plays the ball, it is taken that the player stretched his arms intentionally to deny the opposition a scoring opportunity. In this case Rojo's arms were not totally outstretched. He jumped to nod the ball, nodded it and accidentally it hit his hand. Never intentional and purely accidental. No way a penalty. Finito.

goldfish80: I am not making an excuse for nobody. I also hammered that Iheanacho was the one I would have taken off because he could not cause the Argentines harm due to their pace. If we went in half time 0-0, I would have wanted Nacho on a bit more because of his defensive input. Nacho was a Warrior in that game when we were not with the ball. It is funny trying to write that off. No one, I repeat no one could offer much on the ball. We barely held the ball but handed it back to Argentina repeatedly. Players are judged by their overall contributions. That is why people like you did not want us to hear with big striker. Kah. |

TheGoodJoe: Even with the miss, Ighalo was better rated than Kelechi in not less than 5 different websites, both foreign and local. His physical presence turned the game when he came on. As a matter of fact, part of the reason you got an equalizer was due to his influence. The fact that Kelechi was rated the poorest player for Ngr is a damning verdict on all your talks about his runs up and down chasing defenders. Look, I will be very blunt, with the rate that guy is going, he could end up playing lower league football at the expiration of his contract with Leicester. 1 Like |

His hands were in the natural position. Like I said earlier it’s difficult to jump in the air and keep your hands down by your side. If he headed the ball while standing, outstretched arms would be illegal. That wasn’t a penalty. TheGoodJoe: 2 Likes |

No excuses at afcon 2019 and remember we already lost to South Africa at home. Nigerians are not smiling right now o so no need for anyone to hug transformer.Rohr should just tell us he is the right man at afcon 2019 to lead us to Qatar 2022. |

![]() It's so funny Ighalo was almost skinned Alive for the Misses, cos Nigeria Fans are/were looking for a Scapegoat. Yes, Ighalo missed the Chances (twice) but it ain't as bad as we are portraying it - in fact many Strikers would miss the Chances as well. Are the Chances goal-begging types?! The first Chance was more a rebound, he ain't so free to calm and perfectly slot in the Ball into the Net. The second Chance - he wriggled his way towards the Goal, but the Post was well covered by the Keeper. Did he make attempts at Goal - yes he did! Iheanacho was completely lost in the first Half. He added nothing positive to the Team, cos I ain't buying off the Ball Ish! The Niggä is damn overrated on this Thread. I remembered he was described as Messi and Ronaldo in ONE - LOL! Some of us on this Thread have no moral right to judge or castigate the Team and it's Handlers. We made many ghost Followers bought into Hypes. Many were attracted because of the Over-Hypes. Can we blame them for ranting and wailing?! We can't, cos we package Gari for them as Corn-flakes. Sold Buns to them as Egg-Rolls. So what do you expect from them after finding out the Truth?! 4 Likes 1 Share |

goldfish80: Why will Ighalo not be rated higher than Nacho when he played mostly when Argentina was looking for a winner. Argentina removed players to attack. It is simple. Nacho will excel whether people like it or not his talent is undoubted if we continue deceiving ourselves and not do things the right way. He will find himself sooner or later in the right system and he will eplode. His work rate and determination yesterday is enough to show his quality. Argentina controlled the first half to the F. Watching football tells you in such situations the attackers find it difficult. Nacho will excel. As for yesterday's game, his overall contributions was not poor because of the hard Work he put in. A Thousand sites writing negative review does not change that. You can praise Ighalo but the fact is, Mikel has to do lots of the heavy lifting for him. Finito. |

I don't think we lose the game due to tactics. we should stop blaming Rohr and judge the game on it own. no matter the tactics we would have employed, we would have needed players no execute it and some players let us down yesterday. we had chances to score goals, what tactics do you need for Ighalo to score that chance? what ever tactics Argentina used it was still down to how they utilized it. we had better chances, if Rojo could score, what stopped ighalo from scoring that chance. lastly why was Rojo standing alone inside our box and had the calmness to bury that cross. as players certain things are basic you don't need the coach to tell you to pick each opposing players. 2 Likes |
