Joebie:
yes i'm surprised. He is actually good at shooting. Maybe only when he plays for the green white green.... lol
Precise shooter!

EEGA:
Iwobi,Ogu and Ndidi, their face be like "we never knew you(Ebuehi) were this good".

Mujtahida:

Rohr be like 'Wenger I no tell you'

But on a serious note Iwobi co-ordinates himself quickly when he's at the centre than from out wide. All his goals for us has come from the central position.

nelszx:


You're calling December rankings when November hasn't even been published

MetalJigsaw:
It should be Moses.

Alexander35:
please is Brian Idowu left footed or right footed? anyway I think the team needs few left footed players for more balance. congratulations to the team.

Isahalbash:
Most Nigerians are fake SE fans. They are just waiting for dem to b beating so dey can abusing everyone in d team nd condemned dem totally. These people can't motivate you when you are facing challenges, rather, they would laughed at you and rubbished your entire passed successes than support you.

IF YOU CAN'T SUPPORT US WHEN WE ARE LOSSING, DON'T SUPPORT US WHEN WE ARE WINNING.

VERY UNPATRIOTIC ND UNGRATEFUL PEOPLE.

Mujtahida:

They've gotten over Moses. Iwobi's pain us still fresh.

MetalJigsaw:
But I don't thinks its our WC kit 'cos there has never been a news about it.
The top would have looked better if it has a bit of white features on it.

Joebie:
My Observation from watching 35 minutes of the first half of the Argentina match:

1. Balogun is doing too much ball playing than he should do. He needs stay at the back and make simple passes.
2. Aina is good at marking his man. The formation demands that he go forward when we are in possession, this he did very well. Balogun has no business going forward. Balogun made Aina look bad.
3. The second Argentina goal was caused by Mikel. Now let me land before you fight me. Argentina was in possession in their backline and Mikel came forward to tackle, going completely out of the midfield position. Mikel as the pillar of our midfield, was absent as soon as Argentina launched a counter. Balogun in turn as I already mentioned was not at the back line, and was not fast enough to catch up, this exposed us at the rear.
4. Shehu could not keep up with his man. Our wing backs need to be really fast. Even Aina is not really fast. This formation calls for fast wing backs.
6. John Ogu is a very good tackler.
7. Ndidi is a workaholic. I see why he is compared to Kante.
8. We played conservatively. I think for the first 20 minutes or so we had not even managed a single shot at goal.
9. But for the lapses mentioned above, especially Akpeyi's blunder, we didn't do badly in the first 35 minutes.

Mujtahida:

They've gotten over Moses. Iwobi's pain us still fresh.

Joebie:
in fact we didn't go forward much in that first half, until we conceded the second. I think most of the blunder -- except Akpeyi's -- was due to positional awareness in a new 3-5-2 formation.

Mujtahida:

Danielnino posted the WC kits of countries like Belgium, Spain, Germany. And during this break that is what they wore. So I feel this one might be our WC Jersey. Not sure though

Kalapizim:
How Idowu ran forward to be in position to score the third goal is beats me up till now. the guy just show from nowhere and boom !

junnyjake:
I don't know if my boss Naptu2 has ever been a member of this thread.

He's got memories dating far back 70s. Yes!

We would be pleased to have you here sir, as we can benefit from your experience, there are others you'd meet here who are old timers too.

junnyjake:


You DE mind them?

By the time we pick Onomah, Aneke polish them well, na that time their eyes go open.

Since their eye no wan open reach their side.

femianski:

it's common everywhere bro
same at the club level
very annoying

tbaba1234:


In the last few games, Balogun has been starting poorly. He needs to be playing regularly before the WC.

tbaba1234:


Argentina played badly in the first half. It was not as if they were destroying Aina. Aina put in a decent shift defensively.

Aina struggled with having to bomb forward. His instinct is to hold back as a full back.

Defensively, he did not do badly.He was bad going forward.

Icon4s:
Abeg how did the Russia Vs Argentina game end?

forgiveness:


How does that change the fact he started poorly?

The point is, the game didn’t change after he was substituted. Balogun was still on the field when the game change. That's the point.

zuchyblink:
Even Victor moses's position in super Eagles is threatened with this new system

tbaba1234:


I am agreeing with you, bros...

Goke7:


with what you have said here, you and I know that aina chances of making the final team to russia is minimal except some other players are injured. The RB is surely btw shehu and ebuehi though I have seen you making a case for shehu to be pushed up into the midfield for your dear aina to have a chance but you are not rohr, we all thought aina had finally displaced elderson until yesterday's game though I already saw the signs against Algeria. Pray harder for aina to make the cut cos for now it's not looking too good for him

Joebie:
And his pace is something else.

Danielnino00:
I'm so angry with DSTV ehn... I went to the viewing centre like 5 times today,they didn't open...I even ran to the home of the center owner to inform him that AIT and NTA will show the match he wasn't at home..
Had to switch off my phone due to anxiety.. switched it on 3 hours later and rushed to nairaland...I saw 2-4 on FP I no trust NL mods at all so I ran to goal.com and livescore.com . Mehn I was so happy


I'm very happy for Ebuehi ehn ..the dude finally got his chance and he didn't let it slip.. TBH,Rohr will be faced with a selection headache for the final 23 man squad.. Brian Idowu also made his mark..

As for Akpeyi, Sir Icon79, me and u shall visit a native doctor very soon to make sure he is never invited to the super eagles team again,cus it seems like our goalkeeper trainer are too lazy to do their job...BTW,I saw the highlight and I'm so impressed with Uzoho.. f##k those who will say he isn't experienced... let's groom him and he will turn out good...
