Three Reasons Why Mikel Should Step Down For Iwobi As Super Eagles Playmaker Published: June 24, 2019 Former Chelsea midfielder John Mike Obi returned to the Super Eagles after one year in the international wilderness to lead the team at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nation and much is expected from him. Unfortunately, the 32-year-old failed to live up to his billing in their first match of the tournament against Burundi on Saturday as he was subbed out in 58th minute. Though it ended 1-0 in Nigeria's favor, many Super Eagles fans are of the opinion that the team would have done better if Mikel and Iwobi weren't played out of position. They believe Mikel should've played alongside Wilfred Ndidi at the defensive midfield position, while Iwobi operates as the team's playmaker to get positive result. Just as proposed by the fans, allnigeriasoccer.com comes up with three reasons why Rohr must deploy Iwobi as his playmaker for the rest of their stay in Egypt 1. Alex Iwobi Can Orchestrate Quick counter-attacking Moves Than Mikel Considering Nigeria's style of play, a speedy playmaker is needed to orchestrate many counter-attacking moves and a pacy iwobi is the best man for the job. 2. Iwobi's Defense-splitting Passes Are More Precise Though Mikel is known for his wonderful passing accuracy, Iwobi's attack-initiating passes are more needed by the strikers and wingers to pounce on. Mikel hardly created any goalscoring opportunity for Paul Onuachu against Burundi, which is a testament that the captain isn't the man for the playmaking position. 3. Mikel and Ndidi Combo Will Be Too Strong For Opponents To Penetrate Mikel and Ndidi are two physical players who can out-muscle opponents and their partnership will definitely provide a strong shield to the back four. This means that versatile Oghenakaro Etebo will have to drop down to the substitute bench while Iwobi takes over the number 10 position. Ibukun Italoye WHAT ELSE DOES ROHR NEED BE TOLD? 8 Likes |

TheGoodJoe: It's glaring you don't know anything. Two Marseille players were part of France 98 FIFA world cup winning team. Blanc was the Marseille player that benched the only player from Chelsea. How come you don't know about that? You think I am dull to see through your pranks? I will not list players that played in Ligue 1 during that era but I will go with UEFA ranking that clearly showed EPL was Mickey mouse league as at 1996. For your information, Ligue 1 players dominated the French 1998 FIFA world cup winning team. |

Football dwells in two locations in Africa. North Africa and West Africa. So far teams from both sides of the continent have won all their dwells barring Guinea and Mauritania. Guess who were on the receiving sides, the wiping boys of the tournament? . The Eastern and Southern Africans. Not a single win or draw for them barring Madagascar.Next round of Matches will be Tantalising  , we will begin to see who the true big brothers of Africa are. Senegal vs Morocco, Algeria vs Ivory coast, Mali vs Tunisia. Let the games begin |

forgiveness: You that did not watch football then, what do you know about it? When we had Juventus with the likes of Zidane, Edgar Davids and Didier Dechamps. Real Madrid with the likes of Mijatovic, Clarence Seedorf and Raul. Manchester United with the likes of Roy Keane, Beckham, Giggs, Dwight Yorke and Cole, Arsenal with the likes of Vieira, Anelka, Gilberto, Tony Adams, Ian Wright. Bayern Munich with the likes Matthaus, Effenberg, Oliver Khan, Lizarazu, Jeremies and Tarnat. We had Inter Milan with Roberto Baggio, Kanu, Ronaldo, Zamorano. Who knew PSG. These are stars I remember off the top of my head. Even Monaco was smoking that period with the likes of Ikpeba, Trezeguet, Thierry Henry and Guily. You did not watch, you want to Google and argue. 1 Like |
