Super Eagles Must Return To The Drawing Board After Croatia Defeat - Mikel by reportminds: 1:48pm On Jun 17, 2018 |
John Obi Mikel insists Nigeria must 'go back to the drawing board' following their 2-0 World Cup defeat to Croatia, but still harbours hopes the Super Eagles can progress from Group D. An own-goal from Oghenekaro Etebo and a penalty from Luka Modric secured the points for Croatia from a turgid contest in Kaliningrad on Saturday, without Nigeria ever looking likely of mounting a comeback. And former Chelsea midfielder Mikel, who captains Gernot Rohr's side, acknowledged Nigeria must improve ahead of their clash with Iceland on Friday. "We have to play better. I think we can play better, we can do better," Mikel told reporters. "It's difficult to say I think. We have to go back to the drawing board and see what we can do better, together as a team. "It's not easy playing against these fantastic players, European players, they can hurt you in any given time. We know that, but we have to do better." Mikel is confident that progression from Group D is still possible, citing that Argentina's unexpected draw with Iceland has provided the Super Eagles with a lifeline. "Why not? We believe. That's why we're here," the skipper added. "That's why we came here. We have two more games to play. Argentina drew today so I think this is a bit better for us. "Next game, we have to go and try to win the game. If we do that, we're back in it again." http://www.reportminds.com/2018/06/super-eagles-must-return-to-drawing.html?m=1 Cc lalasticlala mynd44

Rossikki: Rossikki I am starting to believe this allegation of yours What formation did Nigeria play against Argentina ?(esp 2nd half) And what formation did they play against Poland , England ,Serbia ,Czech If the formation for the latter is same as against Croatia then rohr is a fraud |

If there was any wrong formation and tgey didnt tackle it, is it nw at the middle they intend tackling it? Mikel should go and clean chair...! Our friendly matches were all a warning |

hollandis:Rohr knows how to play a winning formation. I believe he also threw that England game to match fixing. He ordered the team to play 4 at the back, limiting our attacking bite in the first half. In the 2nd half he reverted to 3 defenders, and we matched and dominated England, and scored. The man is not stupid. He knows what he is doing. |

Rohr should be sacked |
