After watching this match for the 3rd time just now there are a few things I noticed.

1) Whoever says that Ekong was average in this game needs to tell me the match he watched. None of the chances created came through his side of the defence, he literally shut down that side of the defence, nothing and nobody moved there, in fact he was awesome. When you watch that game again without tension or anger you will understand. Awaziem however needs to go back to training school, his clearances from the very first whistle were funny, he was swiping at the ball wildly, and he is no ball-playing CB. He was always afraid to carry the ball more than 20m beyond our box which shows lack of confidence and ball playing abilities.

2) watching Onazi was like a comic release. He was literally everywhere except where he should be. Most times it was as if he was playing as the LB, not that Echejile was out of position, I don't know if I should say that he just wants the glory or he has too much energy to burn. And then when Echejile will go forward thinking that Onazi has him covered, Onazi too will go forward thinking that a supernatural being has him covered as well.

3) Our fullbacks were poor. Where was that Echejile that scored a goal at the 2013 Afcon? The poor showing was exemplified by a particular passage of play in the first half, Iwobi had the ball on the edge of the box with only one defender ahead of him, he held the ball for 5 seconds thinking that Echejile was bombing forward to support him(like any good LB would) and by the time he realized that we had an imposter on the left side another SA player had already returned and a potentially dangerous situation was laid to waste. Shehu I cannot complain about, his side was balanced together with Ekong, brilliant player that boy but he needs to brushen up his ball playing abilities, needs to learn how to take on his man.

4) Simon is just what he is. He skinned both the LB and RB repeatedly and only if he could cross to save his life we would have scored a lot of goals. He was switching wings to devastating effects but the final ball was lacking. And the final ball has always been lacking in his game, he was our best forward/midfield player on the day. Iwobi however was literally kneeling down and begging for a passing partner with Echejile being totally non-existent. Iwobi wasn't poor, the system was poor, with a good LB Iwobi would perform well which is why I don't understand why someone would say that he isn't a wide midfielder, truth is if we are playing a 4-5-1 then nobody suits that position more than Iwobi, except we want to change to a 4-3-3.

5) Etebo needs to be dragged backwards. Killer passes just isn't his game, he should stamp down on that CMF position where all he needs to do is spray short passes and burst forward every once in a while, his decision making needs some work as well. Ndidi wasn't briliant and his strikes lacked their usual accuracy.

6) Who said Iheanacho was making runs? Iheanacho was standing in the exact same spot all match long. He was standing beside the LCB all match long, he didn't take up any other position and even when he dropped deep a couple of times to touch the ball, he lost it in both instances and even when Simon produced a nice cross to the back post that was begging to be nodded in, Iheanacho was not well positioned, that ball is what all strikers thrive on, that doesn't mean he isn't a good striker though just poor poor display from him, and that show of petulence should not go unpunished. Then watch what happened when Kayode came in, he actually took up two great goalscoring oppurtunities, one Etebo failed to pass but decided to shoot when Kayode was open, the next one he did receive the pass although he didn't hit the target but he gave the midfielders a passing option and they actually found him which shows that the midfielders actually know how to pass just that the striker wasn't giving them that opening. Promising display from him, if he had started that match he would have gassed out the two cbs and Iheanacho could pick the pieces but that's gone.

7) Let us now be plainly honest. Rohr is NOT A BRILLIANT COACH, he is a great man manager but far from a brilliant coach, no plan B nothing. I mean your plan B is a 3-4-3 formation but somehow the main player in your 3-4-3, you decide to leave out of the match day squad, makes no sense. No tactical tweaks during the game. IMHO, no team can outplay Sia1's team like that. I know he may invite his boys but they always deliver. If not for Moses we would have defeated Egypt, if not for Sadiq Umar we would have defeated Germany etc. The guy is a good coach but somehow we managed to tie down Rohr, but not that Rohr is bad but if we can get Sia1 as his assistant(not this Salisu guy), the combination would be perfect.

At least you are getting to see my Point but missed to highlight where the problem came. Let us start with what you said about Kayode being in good position but not getting a good pass. That was what I said immediately Rohr did the changes.

The problem was not in the striker. You admit this after a third time watch. That is why I kept saying watch the game again because most missed the problem.

Now to Iheanacho. You say he was standing in the exact spot. I have said that repeatedly. Watch when the ball is hit. He was not offside, moved for the ball but the ball was over hit. It was there for the taking. He was shoulder to shoulder with the defenders. Every time the ball was over hit barring the later one where he moved early to try to meet the over hit ball. The young man knew at that point he was not going to get a good pass with the midfield. Notice in that offside run, Iheanacho got the ball. With better timed passes, he would have gotten repeated clean chances to tear the South Africans apart.

Next time watch the failed final balls. That is the key. In those balls, with the runs Iheanacho made. You will see clearly the chances we had to wrap that game up in the first half and why the young man got frustrated.

TheGoodJoe:



I think we still had the right personnel to set up a 3-4-3 formation but the fear of Onazi and Echiejile shielding the left side would have led to another catastrophe. Maybe Onazi for Agu would have helped.

Another nice info that has bothered me since the appointment of Coach Rohr. His back room staffs from Nigeria. Most especially Alloy Agu and Salisu Yusuf. Rohr needs a tactician to work with him. Mourinho had Villas-Boas, Benitez had Pako Ayesteran, Rijkaard had Henk Ten Cate, Ancelotti had Paul Clemens etc.

My pick is Emmanuel Amunike because of his modern methods fits the pattern I feel Rohr intends for the team. With ball playing/passing defensive set up (including the defensive midfielder). Amunike actually played under such system and always coaches his team to play that way.

Although Siasia plays a similar brand of football, I am more comfortable with Amunike.

Rohr needed a simple advice. Iheanacho is making the runs when the pass is hit and always ahead of the defenders. We need someone in the hole to give him more accurate passes and we will tear the South Africans apart.

If we are maintaining the same formation, either Etebo or Onazi leaves (preferably Onazi),Etebo takes a deeper role and Iwobi takes the attack midfield position. Musa comes in for Onazi. We would have been stronger with the set up.

forgiveness:



Because Iheanacho knew he was not going to get good pass from the midfield, he decided to stand like tree for one place, ba. Bhuuuhahaha!

Your analyses is not doing the boy any good. You are just compounding the issue and making him look like an arrogant kid who thinks he has finally arrived. We saw his arrogant reactions when he was yanked out.

Oga, Iheanacho will not start the next match because he despised everybody including your humble self.


This is my line up for the next match

That's a nonsensical proposition that you relate to me.

For the avoidance of doubt I have not too date said Dominic over KC. What I said is for now KC is ahead.

However, they are different types of players KC being a SS with outstanding finishing on the other hand Solanke is a true no.9 but not proven to have the same level of finishing.

The final judgement will be when both of them play a full season in thier respective clubs.

Tell me bearing in mind what Isaac Success has done all season with his £12 million price tag at Watford. What accolade would you give him most promising forward player that is still promising succes. Or most valuable player. Bearing in mind his Manager, Walter said he is not fit and Isaac said he is fit and able to play 90 minutes.


So is he taking up space or is he contributing to his team positively commensurate with his huge price tag.

That is why you need to learn how to read games before blabbing. The scenario on ground determines the action of the striker.

If a striker is closely marked and the midfield is having trouble getting the ball to the striker. Note, the midfield can deliver quality balls but the striker is shielded, the striker needs to drop deep or go wide when the wing back overlaps to be free to receive the ball to attack or build up play.

In this case, Iheanacho was not closely marked. He had room to receive the ball and cause damage. Repeatedly he made the right runs but the final ball to him was bad. With a quality midfielder supplying good balls, we would have been two or three goals up in the first half.

So dropping deep is not an option.

goldfish80:


Sorry I had to do this. I couldn't help it. I didn't want you to get away with one.

What we're you thinking when you typed this? Just a few weeks ago you thought Kelechi should improve on his pressing game, mobility and help in build up play. You even acknowledged that this was the reason Aguero was ahead of him.
How come you're now changing the goal post? "dropping deep is not an option" you say?

Isaac Success played in the EPL last season, where was Solanke? Premier League 2. Abeg what do u think Premier League 2 ranks in Europe? Then u have mind to come put Iheanacho in the same bracket, a £24 million rated player at that. Don't u think u are contradicting urself?
Isaac Success was player of the year at his club in Spain, if his manager doesn't like him what do u expect him to be able to do?

kingphilip:
not as if I'm in support of bringing Ideye back but i think he combines well with a support striker more

If you remember Iheanacho's goal against Zambia and our 2013 AFCON winning his perfect combo with Emineke went a long way to give us that trophy

Hence the reason for my clamor of a 2-striker system where the two understands each other and communicates perfectly well too

goldfish80:


Exactly what I've been saying. The fullbacks lack of effort going forward was the bane of our attack. Iwobi had a poor game because of this but the bottom line remains, he had a poor game.

Frankly speaking, people should get off the back of Moses Simon. He was the only attacker who came to the party. His delivery is the weakest aspect of his game, thankfully it is a very tiny glitch that can be improved on (he's just 22). We have a promising player in that guy.

TheGoodJoe:


The Journalist that asked that question needs to go and learn how to read the game because he is atrocious. Changing Iheanacho was a wrong option and a wrong call by Rohr and that Journalist is asking why Rohr did not make a wrong call earlier.

Na wa.

The problem we had in the first have was poor final balls. Rohr should have fixed it earlier by getting someone with the ability to deliver better balls. Not removing a striker. Rohr pulled out Iheanacho and Kayode was ineffective too. Is that not enough to tell you that the Call was wrong?
