Midfield is too thin, especially given Aribo likes to move up

Nigeria will chop goals for sure.

With the attack we should be able to score as well

Nigeria will chop goals with Ndidi, you be learner?

Good riddance to bad rubbish...iwobi is overhyped and overrated (I don't care what anybody thinks)....dude literally SPOILS SMOOTH PASSAGE OF PLAY...if he were in today's match, he would easily be a soft target for d Benin players to disposses at will, cos he's d weakest link in our midfield, whether u like it or not...I've watched our match with Sierra Leone severally and he easily gave d ball away to d more desperate Sierra Leone midfielders... he's too lackadaisical in his play... dude thinks he has arrived and believes he's d best thing to av happened to our game in ages, thanks to our coach who keeps starting him, and he would av also started him today if not for covid... nonsense!...

Go back and watch our matches at d last nations cup...iwobi lost so many balls in d midfield and our opponents capitalised on that on several occasions, sometimes even making us conced goals.

Its high time we told ourselves d truth, iwobi is overrated and fast becoming d weakest link in d team as a whole.

Tbh Onyekuru was a better fit in the wings than Iwobi

Our formation looks overly attacking minded. We are starting with four attackers (victor, samu, nacho and oyekuru). And we are also starting with two attack minded fullback. The midfield looks thin. Heck! aribo is also attacking minded.... ndidi will have to be disciplined, sit back and shield the defence well. I expect us to score goals with this set up, but arent we being overly reckless with this set up? Well we just have to sit down and enjoy this experiment. We have already qualified for the afcon, what better time to try out this tantalising experiment? On paper we should tear benin to shreads!!

Our Starting XI for Super Eagles of Nigeria Vs Squirrels if Benin Republic.

The midfield is so understaffed with the absence of Iwobi.

Rohr should try Iyayi Beleive Atiewmen of Dinamo Zagreb, Kingsley Sokari in Tunisia or Destiny Ashadi in our local league as
an option in attacking midfield.
The problem with Rohr is that he does not try options when it comes to attacking midfield

How are we sure this Iwobi Covid thing is not a set-up by the Benin republic officials?

I wouldn't doubt this, we saw this in the CAF club competitions as well

This might be a blessing in disguise. I have always wanted Iwobi to sit down and let us try something else

I expect the full backs to remain defensively minded especially in the first half, they can go and join the attack depending on how the game goes

This Rohr guy must have some Goodluck touch in qualifying us for Tournaments. It hasn't been this easy since the 90's dude qualified us again with 2 games to spare

Guy rest

On top 24 team competition??


Grouped with Lesotho and Sierra Leone??


It would have been abominable If we didn't qualify from this group particularly with our current crops of players

So what exactly do you guys want?

It is the reality. Rohr is conservative and it can only take us so far.

We need to be more dynamic if we want to achieve higher than what we have done.
