smartsmith0907:What is the use anyway. we were all here predicting line up only for Rohr to squeeze Akpors into RB and Musa into LW. Rohr is just incompetent. I can drop a good line up without Osimhen and Balogun but we all know Rohr will still mess everything up. 4 Likes |

smartsmith0907:. I will prefer a 352 with akpoguma/ekong/awaziem(right side of the defence) aina or ebuehi as RWB, SANUSI as LWB . ARIBO/ETEBO/IWOBI: though I will consider ajayi/shehu in place of aribo if need be as the match progresses. Chukwueze/ iheanacho and ejuke as front line. |

Just to make a little contribution. I liked what I saw in the first half when it came to keeping the ball and creating chances. The Sierra Leone players gave us the respect and we made them pay for it. What intrigued me most was how we pressed with numbers in the first half. There was literally no room for the Sierra Leone players to build passes. Unfortunately, I was too busy to watch most of the game, especially the second half but when I tuned in, for what I still don't get is how we switched from pressing with intensity to sitting back. We might have still attacked but we switched off from our pressing game and the result was catastrophic. 2 Likes |

I think Rohr needs to work on our team relying more on pressing to defend than sitting back to secure leads. We are naturally not built for a conservative stance. Our players are better on the front foot. Rohr's selections should tilt towards a conditioned pressing unit, when you compromise with our true identity, we Suffer. Stamina is key to win this kind of game. Keeping fatigued players is a recipe for Disaster. Finally, Rohr needs to attend to the midfield balance. We lost shape repeatedly due to no defined roles during transition of play. The team needs to work on passing channels and maintaining compact shape in the middle because the World is growing fast with respect to this. They were positives but lots of lessons to learn. Unfortunately, the team is far from ready. 4 Likes |

The Draw with Sierra Leone was the only game that casted my 6 odds but we mueve A game without Balogun and Osimhen doesn't inspire confidence in me at all... I might just sit this one out, the stress of yesterday The money I wasted on fuel, then I had to go for ultimate search to get a viewing centre showing the match, came in when we were already 2 goals up so I only witnessed Iwobi and Eze's goals only for Us to draw from 4 goals up, haba this is disgraceful I can't even think of a lineup self... If naso we want play for afcon, it's better we don't qualify |

Iwobi needs to redefine his game. He needs to tune down the intensity he plays with. He can be a gem when things goes his way but a disaster when he gases. Needs to study Thiago Alcantara's game to the T. Know how to utilize covering channels with intelligent movement instead of pace. My advice he pays a trip to Mikel who was clever with this and get some orientation on how to read plays. Iwobi can become some thing brilliant if he depends more on intelligence than force. 1 Like |

Iheanacho needs to learn to start shooting from outside again. His search for inbox chances is cutting out his efficiency. He is blessed with the ability to strike accurately from range, so why does he keep fighting for the box when there is a lot of room outside. Nacho needs to explore spaces around the 18 yard box and drive his shots. This will also help him have room to explore passing options. 2 Likes |

TheGoodJoe: Osimhen, Iwobi, without these two, our pressing is nonsense. We can't effectively adopt this system if we don't have more of such players. |

elunico: Worst is that Iwobi later gasses and we turn to blank. Actually, we pressed with numbers earlier and later stopped, increase the need for individual pressing ability and a scattered shape. This falls on Rohr accepting the system, selecting players who can suit the system and training the team to play it. Well, they were good signs. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by busky007: 11:34am On Nov 14, 2020 |
TheGoodJoe:Exactly. At a point in the 2nd half, the players were passing out from the back instead of the intense attack in the 1st half. They were stupidly complacent to try such in a rice farm of a pitch. The NFF also should be blamed for giving the SE such hopeless pitch. Our players were used to better pitches and struggled but Leones were used to rice farms and it favoured them 3 Likes |

I think Rohr should be sacked, he is not the right man for this team. Lots of errors but the most annoying is Kevin as a RB. Plus, Okoye is shit. None of the goals is his fault but watch him again, Everytime he is approached he is very shaky. Uzoho is definitely better than this guy. Musa should retire please. Let the Young guns do the work, we will give you a tag of legend don't you worry. Just retire first. The field is also shit, don't ever use it again. Ciao 3 Likes |

Na joke, actually. But i still don't think he's any better than the others. He's not been really tested. He's not made any impossible save. He doesn't inspire confidence too. Nonetheless, In spite of the criticism, none of our goalies have conceded this many goals. Whatever this is. charlesemeka85: |

I've said it before and I'm saying it again, Akpeyi is our best goalkeeper. His distribution is better than anyone in that team. |

mostob: Maduka Okoye looks totally inexperienced to me and does not look a talented stopper. However, I like his foot works which shows he is trained for the modern game. It also shows he might be astute tactically but he needs to show it by being vocally commanding at the back. He needs to drop his age factor and take the responsibility at the back to maintain the defensive shape by calling out gaps. Either way not convinced with his judgment when under pressure and would get a poor rating for me, especially with the header goal and I think the first goal. |

TheGoodJoe: Yea, with Iwobi, he tires out quickly. That's a negative. For the press to be effective, it has to start from the front and Osimhen leads the team in that regard, his alternatives don't possess that ability, the only one person I could think of right now is Kayode, Kayode is insane with his pressing. Not Nacho, not onuachu. |
