IWOBI was the best man in the super eagles squad... all reasonable attack we had and enjoyed all through the competition came from him

You sir, are a reasonable man. I know many Nigerians do not understand football and hate Ighalo, whereas he has been the key player for us this tournament.
But he disappeared in the last two games.

That is normal and to be expected, as without an effective number 10, a striker like Ighalo will not have much to work with. He does his best and his best has been of immense importance to us in this tournament.

Musa assisted against Cameroon with a ball that bounced off his chest
hotswagg12:
1.Ndidi just like @arsenaholic rightly stated.
2. Alex iwobi for his energetic display and always going to the flanks to cover up for chukwuze whenever he doesn't cover up for awaziem on time.
3. Etebo for his work ethics and great partnership with Ndidi in the heart of the midfield.

Notable mention : chukwuze though he wasn't a regular but a great revelation for super eagles.
Ola Aina, Awaziem and Ighalo for is doggedness.

FLOPs: Musa, not a single assist and always running with the ball with no end product.
Balogun, for ball watching and lack of positioning.
Akpeyi, shouldn't be in the team in the first place.

Conclusion: Though Gernot Rohr made a few mistakes but we shouldn't take away the fact that he is a good tactician. We can clearly see how he was able to absorb the rampaging and attacking flow of The SA boys and the ruggedness and physical play of the Cameroonian team. The Algerian team was clearly better than the super eagles team and they have a leader who his playing at the highest level like Mahrez which our team clearly lacks.

I must give Kudos to our right full back Awaziem. He has really proved himself in the absence of Shehu Abdulahi

Rating from my top to the list, I can't help but name the four most important players in afcon, Rohr should be sacked ASAP

1. Ndidi, this guy is the heart of super eagle, so strong in our middle and what amazes me more is his interceptions, always running, struggling and making sure the opponent doesn't utilize the chances.

2. Chukwueze, Rohr underrated this young telent, denying him chances in our most important matches even when he is equal to the task, this guy is so dangerous when he holds the ball, he attacks, makes an important pass, apart from his poor finishing dude is an excellent player.


3. Iwobi, yes sometimes he plays like he doesn't deserve any chance in eagles team, but fact shows has it that he's just amazing sometimes with the ball, he attacks and creates lot of chances which usually get wasted by the dull guy upfront.

4. Aweziem, He came in from bench to show how good he is, he deserves a top club, he doesn't get passed easily, shows how solid and energetic he is, makes proper use of the ball, much better than Shehu. He's even good with crosses.

Worst so far

4. Akpeyi, lacks the qualities of a good goal keeper in fact he's the reason we were sent out, lacks positioning and does shows much concern when ball is coming close to 18box. Man city dude used him to their advantage.

3, Omeruo, he doesn't make good use of his strength and solidarity, too slow and poor reasoning, that why Messi surpassed him and punish us in the world Cup. He just need an improvement.


2.Etebo, not clinical, makes a lot of wrong unnecessary tackles, poor passes, he's just an amateur, championship material, spits

1. Ighalo, the worst player in super eagle, he could have scored upto 7goals but his proudness, selfishness and bossy attitude couldn't let him, can't even make good traps, a very boring and un entertaining player, spits again


Obviously Rohr has been compromised and need to sacked

He played only 2 full games how can he be in the top three? Nigerians like to behave in some type of way i don't understand.

Ndidi
Omeruo
Ighalo

Those are the guys that have made the difference. The defense without Omeruo would have leaked big time. The midfield without Ndidi would have had less control, and with Ighalo we would have gone home since the group stages.


lol. Ighalo, reallyy?

It takes playing up to a certain level of football to understand somethings better i guess. But even at that, its obvious...the man is likely to pick up the Golden Boot for this tournament yet you and many others refuse to rate him among our top three. I have never seen something like that before.

good analysis, but I think Ndidi's foul wasn't careless, in fact, that was the best thing to do and thank God he used his experience to do it before the guy gets into the box. Tho the free kick was converted, he offered the team a life line which the keeper failed to help out.
I have said it before, and will keep saying it, FRANCIS UZOHO remains the only confident hand the super eagles have for now. I believe the coach have another reason for not allowing him to play and not because he is not good.
Thank you for pointing this out. Genot Rorh made a big mistake allowing Akpeyi to mind our goal in this tournament.

Plenty Nigerian fans are not enlightened when it comes to analysing football. Many European countries will be dancing in elation if they had a top 9 like Ighalo.


Only few Nigerians appreciate him.

Only recently, we had the likes of Brown Ideye, Obinna Nsofor and others leading our attack. They complained.

We have someone who is prolific leading the line now, they are still complainjng. They will come to realize their follies soon.
