If we had actually wingbacks playing yesterday that'd have eased our middle. |

mostob: Idowu is better than Collins based on what I have seen. He offers both offensive and defensive play to his game unlike Collins who is only defensive. Aina should be allowed to play in his natural position. Ebuehi should slog it out with him. Odubanjo can be tried too. |

somehow: Naija mentality at it once again, you see him as an old man, lol but he is just 31 As far as he is regular for his club and doing well why cant he continue playing? Should i remind you that a 33 year old championship player bossed the midfield vs eagles yesterday? |

The thought of a losing to an Arab team is paining me severely. Senegal must beat Algeria. We must also do our part to defeat Tunisia. |

Odunayaw:That is a 100 percent on Rohr. From the game against SA where he invited 3 midfielders - some of us here were screaming and begging him to try out midfielders but he didn't listen. 2022 is less than 3 years away. We should be trying out the likes of Eze, Igbekeme, Zubairu, etc. |

Marjoribanks: The same mistake he made against Argentina. It was obvious we needed reinforcement in the mildfield but Rohr was adamant to substitute any of the trio.. Mikel, Ndidi and Etebo whom he had only used in all the matches he played. The same senerio played out. 1 Like |

Dutch Eredivisie side SC Heerenveen have confirmed the signing of promising Nigerian winger Chidera Ejike. The 21-year-old has inked a four-year contract that will keep him at De Superfriezen until at least June 2023. Ejike was courted by Manchester City before undergoing trials at Champions League winners Liverpool in 2016, prior to his move to VĂ¥lerenga the following year. ''We are proud that Chidera has chosen us. We have been following him for some time and know his qualities,'' Gerry Hamstra, technical manager told SC Heerenveen's official website. ''With Chidera we brought in a player for whom the people come to the stadium. With his speed, dribbling and scoring ability, he fits perfectly with sc Heerenveen. " Emmanuel Ebiede, Henry Onwuzuruike and Uche Nwofor have played for SC Heerenveen in the past 1 Like |

Odunayaw: As I said before, it has to do with time and instilling the principles. You can write now we do not have a conductor but it is because we do not play that way for a while. In reconstructing the team to play in such fashion, it will take teaching the team how to play with the tactics and thus utilising some players to play those roles. A good example is Mikel, who I tell people is the best in dictating the game when the team plays in a possessive fashion. Unfortunately, Mikel from his time at Chelsea and some era's of the Super Eagles Mikel did not play that role and many will feel we have a player who lacks that ability. In recent years, we have stuck with Ighalo who does not press with intensity, while players like Osimhen, Iheanacho to an extent and Kayode can bring that to help us defend from the front. So it is not about Rohr grooming one. It is that Rohr can not coach the system to pick the players to suit the system. 1 Like |

Odunayaw: I did not expect an overnight transition to the possessive/offensive play fashion. Rohr had years. And in years, we can not play in such fashion. Then you asking of players playing in particular roles when Rohr has never tried it or can not coach it is drifting. If an offensive coach takes over the team, he will train the team to play in such fashion and also identify players to fit in. Without sacrificing quality in the name of experience. That is why Rohr can over look the likes of tactical players who can build up plays like Mikel (by not playing him in a deeper role to control the game), Raheem Lawal (when Rohr first arrived), Azubike, Nwobodo and to some extent, Kelechi Nwakali. 1 Like |
