Who is with me on this ?

Why Nigeria Wont Qualify From Group Stage. Say Bye To Super Eagles. the lost to Croatia was simply a badluck it was not a good win.

Nigeria is the only team that lost in their group stage.

the formation was that for Nigeria to beat Croatia and then draw with Argentina. then beat Iceland that would give them 7 points.

but as it is now its only a miracle. Nigeria would need to win Argentina and Iceland. and Croatia will need to lose to Argentina and Iceland. for Nigeria to qualify which is not possible at all.

yesterday a Ghanaian in my back was almost crying saying Nigeria need to at least win this match to draw Argentina. before the Croatia score the scored goal then it was already too late as people started to go home.

say bye bye to super eagle and their Jersey. everything will come to rest about their fashion.

victrick105:
I still have to admit that the boys tried... it was just a pure case of luck been against them, just like Egypt.... Croatia, with the way they played will surely be roasted by Argentina and Iceland.... but to be sincere, I only see Argentina and Iceland topping that group and advancing to the next round, unless Nigeria wins there next two matches which for me is almost impossible

ersonleads:

We can only win our next match playing 352
Was thinking he was gonna adapt to it in d second half. He should henceforth play omerou, ekong & balogun as 3 @ d back. Ndidi Mikel & iwobi @ d midfield (iwobi as ten, Mikel should support ndidi at blocking 4 to protect d back 3). Y ebuehi plays right wing back & moses plays left wing back. Nwankwo & iheanacho should play alternately upfront like dey did against Argentina in d friendly.

Eligreat247:


my problem with Rohr is that he is too stiff necked for my liking
He doesn't want to change what he is already used to
How long will it take him to know that
352 is our ideal formation

ClintonNzedimma:

I don't understand you guys and this 3-5-2 formation, can you play a 3 man back line against a 3 man attack? , will you even do that on ps3, we played well the only mistake we made was playing iwobi on the wing instead of Mikel's position, I still stand by my word, the Croats were lucky

What's Mikel doing there?
I prefer Etebo to Mikel considering his pace.
Aside that,that formation,looks so attacking and compact.

Super Eagles’ Head Coach, Gernot Rohr, on Saturday said the team’s 0-2 loss to Croatia in their opening match of Russia 2018 was due to “many mistakes’’.

Rohr, while speaking at the post-match conference of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Group D fixture, said he and his players were aware they made some important mistakes during the game.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that in the match played in Kaliningrad, the Eagles lost through an own goal by Oghenekaro Etebo and a Luka Modric penalty kick.

“We know we made some mistakes, too many important mistakes, and it is clear that we need to get better in order to move on,’’ the coach said.

He said the entire team was disappointed at the result, adding that they needed to work on being professional with the set-pieces.

“Our organisation was good, that is clear just as the tactics were not wrong, but we need to be more professional in the way we take the set-pieces. We need to be better before our next game,’’ he added.

Rohr, who admitted that the loss had made their task more herculean, said team captain Mikel Obi’s performance in the game was satisfactory just as he equally praised the defenders.

“Mikel has since I took over always been playing the way we deployed him today, and this has yielded results for us.

“But, he couldn’t have done better than he did today, because of the quality of those he was playing against.

“He had Ivan Rakitic of FC Barcelona and Luka Modric of Real Madrid playing against him, and they are of good quality and playing for clubs bigger than that of Mikel who plays in China.



“So, he really did well,’’ he said.

On the 62nd minute substitution of Alex Iwobi, the coach said it was not done out of poor performance by the Arsenal FC player.

“Iwobi deserved his starting place, based on his performances in the last few days. He only had big work to do with the full back, and this took much out of him.

“However, he did well and I don’t think he shouldn’t have started the game,’’ he said.

Rohr, however, assured that he and his assistants would go on to ensure the team was improved upon before their June 22 date with Iceland in Volgograd.

“We will improve because it is important for us. We have to get better in order to move forward,’’ he said.
