Nigeria vs Algeria: Fans seek wing-back role
for Moses

Abakaliki – Football fans in Ebonyi have advised the Super Eagles Technical Adviser, Gernot Rohr, to field Victor Moses in the right wing-back position during the forthcoming Russia 2018 qualifier against Algeria.


The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that
Moses continued his rich form in that position
during Chelsea’s EPL match against Southampton on Sunday under its new 3-4-3/3-5-2 tactical formation.


Moses in the first half provided the assistance for Belgian Eden Hazard to score the first goal before Diego Costa’s sublime finish in the second half earned Chelsea a 2-0 win.


The fans told NAN on Monday in Abakaliki that
Moses’ rich form should be effectively utilised to
disorganise the North African team’s fluid pattern of play.


Edmund Ndukamma, a former Rangers
International FC of Enugu defender, remarked
that fielding Moses in that position would
immensely benefit the Eagles against Algeria.

“Moses will help the Eagles’ attack pile pressure
on the Algerian defence from the right wing
thereby disorganising their quick-pass
movements from its lethal left-wing.

“He will also assist the Nigerian right full back
which was problematic against Zambia in the
team’s first qualifier in Ndola,’’ he said.

Nicodemus Omenka, former Ebonyi Commissioner for Youths and Sports, corroborated Ndukamma’s claim, noting that Moses would play a vital role in the Algerian match.


“He is one of Nigeria’s hottest players in Europe
currently and his presence would psychologically affect the Algerians who are also grappling with their coaching problems.


“His blistering runs from the right wing will give
Kelechi Iheanacho and Alex Iwobi more room to
operate, while also assisting the defenders to
curtail the Algerians’ incursions,’’ he said.


Jude Nlemchi, Colombia FC of Abakaliki player,
advised Rohr to place emphasis on current form
in selecting players to be fielded against the
Algerians.


“Players such as Moses, Iwobi, Iheanacho among others should be fielded against Algeria as the system worked against Zambia in Ndola.


“The Algerians play a `fast-paced’ style and the
Eagles need fit, aggressive and skilful players to
disorganise their strategy for the much needed
win,’’ he said.


Chief Silas Mgbebu, a businessman and soccer
enthusiast, urged the Eagles to approach the
Algerian match with serious determination as if
they were playing in a cup final.


“The players should replicate the level of
commitment for their clubs in the Algerian match to ensure the team achieves the much needed victory.


“Winning the match will make them the `group of death’ leaders before qualification hostilities
resumes in 2017 with the accompanying
psychological edge over their opponents,’’ he
said.

Mrs Scholastica Igwe, a civil servant and soccer
admirer, warned that the euphoria of the Algerian match if not properly handled, might affect the Eagles.


“The only sporting news on the airwaves currently is the match with Algeria and the euphoria should not be allowed to pile undue pressure on the players and officials,’’ she said.

How can you compare matic and mikel? Can matic win the Champions league? can he replicate the Mikel's awesome play against Barca, Bayern Munich?

blueto:
Enough of this experiments. Nigeria is not Chelsea and Chelsea is not Nigeria. Because it is currently working for “the blues” doesn't mean it will work for Nigeria.

You do not carry out these kind of experiments against a highly rate African side(side) in a crucial game, the suggestions are unsolicited, and they should be opined during int'l friendlies, not in a crucial match as this.

It appears that Rohr was hyperopic and proactive when he made the dictum “you do not change a winning team,” and I will interpret the “team” as tactics in this context.

New Algeria Coach Reveals Tactics He Will Use To Keep Iheanacho and Iwobi At Bay




Newly appointed coach of Algeria George Leekens has revealed his plans to keep the deadly Nigerian duo of Kelechi Iheanacho and Alex Iwobi at bay when Nigeria play Algeria in Uyo.


Leekens while speaking with Le Buteur said his
team has defensive issues and playing against the deadly duo of Iheanacho and Iwobi , a defensive formation will be best.


The coach who recently left his spot as coach of
Belgian side Lokeren plans to play two extra
holding midfielder to nullify Iheanacho and Iwobi
coming through the middle.

A 4-2-3-1 formation is what he plans to use
against Nigeria, with specific instructions to the
midfielder to release the ball as quick as they can to the deadly duo of Islam Slimani and Riyad Mahrez.


He believes if he stops them from playing, Nigeria will struggle to create anything meaningful in attack, while his team will aim to catch them on the break.



“The pressure does not scare me at all and I am
motivated to succeed with the Greens. I can also say that I have a debt to the Algerian team,” Le Buteur quoted Leekens as saying on Sunday.

Finally, I've seen the Tyronne guy. Abeg, are we trying to look like an SA team?

If we field him, our backline plus goalie will have just one black person, we don't want people to tune into the Nigerian match and think they're watching a different team, do we?

He's cute sha

TheSuperNerd:
Okay Sir Tbaba.... Ebuehi's rejection hurts though.

All of Life is a risk... Who says he won't be injured in Ado den haag's next game? #foodforthought

Why does he make such negative excuse? Anyway... I understand him but he should know that all of life is a risk. Wish him the best and I hope he turns out for us in the long run...

I am sure, Ebuehi was contacted before the invitation. Maybe he didn't expect it to come so soon. He is playing for his team regularly and does not want an injury that will derail his progress

Why Dutch Nigerian Ebuehi Turn Down
Super Eagles Invitation For Algeria Tie



Freshly invited Dutch born Nigerian full back
Tyronne Ebuehi has rejected the immediate
opportunity to commit his international future to
Nigeria by insisting on improving his club form for ADO Den Haag.


Ebuehi was among the list of players called up by Nigeria for the World Cup 2018 qualifiers, but the 20 year old has turned down the invitation,
although he didn’t rule out playing for Nigeria in
the future.


Born to Nigerian parent in Holland, they are fears that the boy is under pressure from the Dutch football authorities to wait for his time with the Dutch national team instead of playing for Nigeria.


“I see it as a great honor that I am noted in my
homeland,” says Ebuehi.

“But at this moment ADO Den Haag requires my full attention. Especially now that I am settled in the team. Therefore, it doesn’t seems to me like the right time to travel to Nigeria for the match. I want to focus completely on the club . but I certainly do not rule out playing for Nigeria in the future, if the next time am called up ” He told the club official website.

Hmmm Lakhdar Belloumi. I remember this guy from Maroc '88 AFCON.

Enomakos u remember that Nigeria vs Algeria epic semi-final clash? Its like this guy missed his penalty during the shoot-outs right?

TheGoodJoe:


At least, they gained from the experience. With continuous moves like that, we can discover rare gems.

tbaba1234:


Against Cameroon, their strategy was, 'get the ball to mahrez'...

I will play moses on the left wing to support Elderson and neutralize Mahrez

if Mikel Obi is good enough, why did Chelsea FC buy Matic then Kante?
Without doubts, his good performance in UCL 2012 final helped Chelsea to win first-ever ucl title, however, Mikel is uni-functional mainly for a bus-parking defensive style. Now that Chelsea FC is no longer parking the bus, his sluggish movement renders him incapable of fitting Conte's 343/352 formation. He should leave if a good club comes calling. His time at cfc is up.

yeah i remember this man
belloumi the wizard of the maghreb
i did't watch the nigeria and algeria semifinal match,but i did watch the watch with morocco that they won on penalty

TheSuperNerd:
That moment when legends like Sir Icon4s, Sir Enomakos and "the elders" start talking football from the days of yore.... Football they saw "live"... Chaiiii.... Me and a few indomie generation lads be like....

TheSuperNerd:
I knew you will speak....

I knew since it is about Mikel you must speak...

Remember how your entrance was when you walked into this thread??

You were dropping bombs all over the place about how incompetent and useless Mikel is.

So sit down... You have no say in this matter.

We are not fools here.... We know the difference between an opinion that is absolutely absurd and one which is based on "just preference".



P.S: Who says I don't like Oshaniwa? And Forgiveness was because of his absurd solanke bias and his "one part of the country over another part" comment... So plsss stand down coz I know of your "Mikel disgust" history.

Kog45:
My guy this is not an excuse, trust naija that's d end of calling him to national team.Are u saying if Dutch team call him,d guy w not jump at it.

I remembered Tunji Banjo,John chiedozie,Reuben Agboola and Efan Ekoku,this are d real guys despite being British born they showed that zeal and commitment towards national team.

Recently Iwobi and Balogun, this are d real guys that have d opportunity to play for a better country but still chose Nigeria.

Honestly am not blaming Ebuehi coz he has every right to decide which country to play for but he doesn't ve d right to tell us when to play for us and he should forget it like Onuah.

Kog45:
What has captainship got to do with Enyeama recalling,i bet it with u that Enyeama w find it hard to displace a fit ikeme talkless of captain band.

Take it or leave it John Obi Mikel is d official captain of d super eagle and he has been doing well in that capacity.Remembered Rio fiasco where d guy need to cough out over 30k dollars,pls tell me how many eagles player have done that both present and d past.

Camping a battalion costs money. Or do you have spare cash to lend the NFF?

blueto:


Did you watch the 2016 Euro final?

It was full of negroids, and it somehow seemed like an African match Even the winning goal was produces by a negroid, so I think it wouldn't be unpalatable if some of our players look like caucasians

blueto:
In other word, your questions are, Why was Juan Mata sold for Oscar? Why was David Luiz sold? These players were doing very well for Chelsea until Mourinho came and sold them, and he couldn't justify such decision because Chelsea with Mata and David Liuz won the Champions league for Chelsea and Mata was twice Chelsea's best player of the season before Mourinho came and sold him. Why Conte is not currently featuring Mikel is palpable and it is not because his style does not beseem Conte's philosophy. Mikel has worked with many managers at Chelsea and not all of the centered on “parking the bus”

And also, until I see the “unsluggish” Matic and Kante's combination win the Champions league, I will always rate Mikel ahead of them.

safarigirl:
would look somehow....anyway, dude isn't coming now. Probably thinks he won't fit in with the team.

He's grown up in Dutchland and then to play for Nigeria? Different language, foreign culture and he'll only have Iwobi and Kelechi to hang with, both of whom neither speak nor understand a lick of Dutch, must be hard for a 20-year old to adapt to. I wouldn't want to come either to be honest

I always respect people who analyse their point without derogatory remarks (sluggish movement and uni functional mainly for bus parking defensive style)childish talk,pls talk like a man that knows football.

And back to your point if Mikel Obi is good enough,why did chelsea buy Matic and Kante?OK are u saying Makelele and Essien are not good enough prompted Chelsea to buy Mikel.Pls what is so special about Matic that u are ranting,was it not d same Matic that sat on d bench for Mikel last season.

TheGoodJoe:


Sorry. It is my worst Champions League night ever. I was behind Bayern that night. I guess I did not pay attention to the details after that. Sorry for the mix up.

Mickael2:


you really need to start reading well before talking, let me no insult you though. did I say he is coming back for his captaincy? I said if he does come back that he will certainly get it back because that's the right thing after all. your love for Mikel is turning you into a ridiculous fanboy, Wetin concern Mikel with Enyeama becoming the captain? if the coach says that he wants Enyeama back, don't you think that he has already discussed the captaincy with him? if the coach wants Enyeama as his captain then that's all, Mikel can go to hell for all I care if he doesn't like it.

so you think Ikeme is better than Enyeama? Nigerians and their short term brains, there is absolutely zero comparison there, Enyeama is the reason why Lille is competitive in France. I can't even believe that somehow will believe that Enyeama can't displace Ikeme

blueto:
seems you really detested Chelsea

What exactly connects my 'supposed' dislike for Mikel to what I just said? dude I told you to stop calling people trolls, as simple as that, I do not understand what Mikel has to do with this at all
