TheGoodJoe:


Simply not good enough does not work. You need to explain why. I told you, watch Nacho's off-the-ball Contribution yesterday and tell me such a hard working player has no place in the National team.

Kog45:
Sir,before the match I posted recent performance of Ighalo and Iheanacho which wasn't good enough but some turned it to Ighalo vs Iheanacho

Imagine our two strikers went goal drought in the last 5 matches before WC and failed to get ordinary assist prior to Argentina match,both were blunt and abysmal against Croatia and Iceland.And what happened against Argentina they failed woefully.

Ighalo and Iheanacho failed us when it matter most though Ighalo miss hurt and i think this is the time for him to quit with the likes of Daniel Akpeyi,Ekene Ezenwa,Ogenyi Onazi,Echiejile Elderson and Joel Obi.

Iheanacho was rated the worst player yesterday.

Ighalo and Iheanacho are the worst Nigeria player at 2018 WC,no sentiment and my candid opinion.

Loogan:

When you want to defend a cross one of the basics is for your arms not to be lifted, the head is what is needed, rojos arms were so high, he nodded the ball and it hits his arm, how can you say that is not a penalty? This is not ball to hand, he attempted a header he didn’t get the hit and it took a deflection of his hand.
If the rules cannot be applied to other wc matches like the Iran potugal match, you cannot justify them enough.
The kick on nacho head in the box was without doubt a penalty

edi287:
Rohr practically used this WC as a learning experience. The guy was not joking when he said he was preparing for 2022. The only problem I have with that is he'll be like 68 and I doubt he has it in him to reinvent himself. Never been an attacking coach and won't start now.
At least he has learned to play Mikel deeper thanks to Okocha and José Mourinho
Well he has the AFCON qualifiers and AFCON to prove himself. If he fails at both - he gets the boot. Personally I'd fire him right away but let's have "continuity".
Yes this was a tough group and yes we were underdogs from the start, but that should never absolve Rohr of some big mistakes he made in this tourney.

TheLoneCitizen:



No I don't, please could you enlighten me.

semid4lyfe:


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.

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

TheGoodJoe:


No way. Rojo had Zero intention to head the ball to his hand. Accidental in every way and no penalty.

Finito.

forgiveness:



Why are you being mischievous, huh?

Did you read the last sentence that said whether it is intentionally or unintentionally?

Oya! show it full.

Certitude:
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.

TheGoodJoe:


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.

It is very clear you are 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?

goldfish80:

This write up is one hell of a poor excuse for the rubbish kelechi played. Very weak defense.
I find it odd you have never seen iheanacho play badly either for club or country.
If the guy is not paying you to do this online PR then you should stop.
Your image is at stake here.

Goodness, this coach is so clueless and anybody trying to keep him is crazy!

TheGoodJoe:


One hell of a myopic point. If Nacho is paying me, will I be crying he was the one to go off? It is just that there are people like you when you can not make a point you flaunt baseless accusation.

I hope you are satisfied with your big striker.

TheGoodJoe:


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.

rohr will be retained so its better you start searching for a transformer to hug

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.

Oasis007:



It's so funny Ighalo was almost skinned Alive for the Misses, cos Nigeria Fans are looking for a Scapegoat. Yes, Ighalo missed the Chances (twice) but it ain't as bad as Yakubu Miss - 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 if 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 they've been misinformed?!

TheGoodJoe:
I hope the accusers can chill. Maybe FIFA is paying me. No, Mikel, No Osaze, oh I forgot Keshi. Maybe it is Ndidi. Maybe Amunike.

goldfish80:

Dont you find it a bit insulting to hear someone say Kelechi was good last night? The overindulgence of these type of talks made the younger posters loose guard of their expectations before the world cup.

The ball didn't bounce off Rojo's head. He actually headed the ball, totally different scenario.
He had all the time to head the ball away but instead headed it straight to his arm.
