elyte89: It is not about me. We were very wasteful and unclinical upfront. We sometimes need to put sentiments aside and think of solutions to fix our problems. If not we harm ourselves in the long run. 1 Like |

We need to sort our left back role. Collins is a hard working fella and puts in his shift while defending. However, he does not give me that mobile left back play, getting up top and putting in crosses or driving at goal. Maybe Rohr told him to play with his foot on the brakes. However, we would be deadlier if we had another bringing in the runs Aina offered down the right. 2 Likes |

Earthquake1: 15 minutes for us to use to try to make something of our chances. That will not classify as an opportunity. You should know football enough for me not to explain this. It is too basic. |

Samuel Kalu showed us the importance of a technical winger who is good with the ball. He was a shining light today. However, he needs to work on creating chances than trying to do it himself. 6 Likes |

Osimhen was a monster today. A true warrior and harshly treated by the referee on repeated occasions. What he lacks in power, he makes up with pace, skill and hardwork. A brilliant addition to the Super Eagles and will pay off in the long run. He needs to add lots of tactical movement to his game. He should study players like Firmino, Soldado and Lewandowski to understand that strikers need to do more than troubling the opposition back line. Sometimes dropping back when the ball is in the offensive third will make his team mates easily pick him out. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Azubuike better pass esiti abeg. He should be drafted in as an a backup for ndidi. Aribo and etebo for now for the CM position while Eze is need also as a back up to iwobi gamaliel9: |

charlesemeka85: What he lacks in power Understand before rushing in to attack. I did not say Osimhen lacks power. There were times he lost the ball in some physical battles but made up with electrical runs to win it back. He is far more mobile than Drogba. He looks a player that can comfortably play on the wings and utilise his pace. So where he was short in power, he made up with pace. Understand? |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by charlesemeka85(m): 10:58pm On Sep 10, 2019 |
Yea I made that point few pages ago when the game was still in progress that aribo didn't put in his best in the game. The little he gave may be due to the fact that he is not used to the team at the moment. Aribo had a good debut that every player will crave for. His touches wey good, didn't lose possession, kept things in the middle simple and as well initiated attacks few times. He's best is yet to come but so far I think Rohr likes what he saw in the kid already andrew444: |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by realpoacher(m): 10:59pm On Sep 10, 2019 |
I really enjoyed the game. Full of intensity. The atmosphere was electrifying. Didn't looked like a friendly at all. Kudos the Ukrainian fans. Back to the game, our boys movements, ball retention and attacking instincts were superb today especially in first half. Individually and team wise, they were great. Long gone are those days where we couldn't control the ball or string two to three passes together. We have to thank Rohr for that. Our wingers in kalu and Samuel were too hot for the Ukrainian defense. Kalu infact should have gotten a second penalty. We had 8 attempts at goal within the first 20 minutes. The host defense was in sixes and sevens. Aribo, Etebo and Iwobi were a delight to behold. Hopefully Aribo should replace Ogu permanently. Esiti should please never come near us again. He is too bulky, too slow and simply lacking football intelligence. Uzoho would certainly have caught Mahrez's freekick. On no account should Akpeyi be called back. Finally the Linesman and referee were wrong. 10 times out of 10 their equalizer is a clear Handball. Eitherways.. I really enjoyed myself 3 Likes 1 Share |

Etebo is a replica of what our midfield set up should have. Pace and tenacity. He really earned his pay today and deserves the accolades he gets. However, I also need to see him do more with distribution to help build up plays. Although that has a lot to do with the manager. 1 Like |

I think the players deserve commendation as a whole. Rohr needs to shift his mind from conservative and negative play. He csn build a quality side if he sets his mind to attack. |

Of course he did but his performance reduced in the 2nd half when Iwobi was subbed off. Earthquake1: |
