Confirmed Starting Line-up:

Uzoho; Ekong, Balogun, Omeruo; Moses, Mikel, Ndidi, Etebo, Idowu; Iheanacho, Musa.

I think, this is a much better lineup

Colin Udoh deliberately released a fake line-up to throw people off. He mentioned that Rohr was angry that the line-up was released the last time . Apparently, he did it to throw the opponents off.

This is not bad.

3-4-1-2

I have been clamouring for a 2-man attack. We don't have material for a one-man attack.

Musa's speed will also be useful here.

Another good thing, we have at least one potential game changer - Iwobi - on the bench. That could be helpful too.

The little fear is whether Idowu can cover the whole side of his wing enough. Moses does that at Chelsea, so no problem on his side.

I'm also interested in seeing who among the 3 midfielders will be closest to attack. I prefer Etebo to Mikel.

Very very good formation.

I will like to see Ebuehi come in the second half and Idowu dropping to the bench, then Moses moves to the left wing back role.

Iwobi coming in for musa.

and in the 75 minute ighalo in for Iheanacho

Rohr likes to confuse his opponents. We saw it during our qualifiers.

Today, he has done it again.

Let me see how they will be positioned.


............................... Uzoho.............

............ Balogun....... Ekong.......... Omeruo.....

..... Moses........ Etebo........ Ndidi......... Idowu....

.............................. Mikel................

............ Musa............................ Iheanacho...


I hope I never leak secret for here?

Anyway, it will be too late Iceland practice against this players and tactics.

I think there was chemistry between Musa and Iheanacho in our last match.

So the bolded make me insist that Ighalo is better than Kelechi?

Joebie don tell you finish. No need going back and forth.


Yes naa... You refuse to accept that Ighalo failed in that game and was woeful. You refuse giving in to the fact that Iheanacho could have done better as he is even in fine form.

And ehmmmm.. Joebie told me nothing actually. He is just not comfortable with being unable to admit concession to the fact that indeed he got it all wrong as regards who is Africa's best. His logic was flawed and i showed him how. He even tried to say WAEC is nothing compared to JAMB. Loollll... Listen it would be better if people here know how to concede when their argument is not making any sense anymore. Or is it because I am younger than you all except a few here? cheesy Funny stuffs...

I didn't say Nacho was Messi but if a team can take out the best player in the world then why are we so harsh on our players? U can't overlook the performance and point at the goals lacking. [b]The reason Ighalo is starting was because Nacho struggled as a lone striker and as a result the team also struggled. [/b]I will continue to shout that if we can't hold up the ball we will not be able to play our game.

The bolded is not good enough. I wanted u to first compare Aguero's performance against Croatia to Ighalo's. Also Iheanacho plays similar to Aguero so what do u think would have happened if he started as a lone striker against Croatia.

Ighalo is the number 1 striker for the SE without doubt or contest. Considering his present season and current form. His performance against Croatia was for me not exceptional but still very good. A striker starved of any service having to fight for scraps and crumbs.

KC struggles with physicality his supposed excellent movement is a reflection of the players around him, for instance when he was at City. Furthermore, he is not the kind of player to use skill to get past players and though fast he doesn't have blistering pace.

He does not have that support he had at City in Leicester and he will not get it in the SE. His season as a result has been far from outstanding.

Starting with KC as the No.9 will make us impotent. Look at those big No nonsense CB's that Iceland have.

This game is going to be a WAR and it's going to require our strikers to unsettle and bully the Icelandic defence. We will be looking for goals from every direction, crosses, set plays, etc. You need Lukaku type strikers to do that, something that KC is definitely not.

I would rather have KC playing behind Ighalo picking up scraps from Ighalo's hold up play. Using his eye for goal to get us through. With him behind Ighalo I would bet on him scoring today.

Aguero also plays like that but how far did that get him. He could barely touch the ball. I have no doubt about Nacho being clinical but football is more than being able to score. After all nobody can score better than Messi but he is yet to score.

Agreed without reservation

Sir your definition of Africa’s best as it can only be said that the country is best when they have achieved both AFCON success and and gone far in WC is still an opinion. Let’s not be childish to drag that discussion to this. I just told u as it is. Apples and oranges.

Modified.
Dude ur analogy was all wrong in the first place but I still used your faulty analogy to tell you that the person who did better in jamb can still get priority when it comes to admission.

School performance versus international exam performance would be a better analogy. Safarigirl rightly said both JAMB and WAEC are external. Shows that analogy was faulty in the first place..

Two opinions here. I’m saying the best for now is who has the better performance as regards the WC. You are saying Senegal has to have won the AFCON first, hence Cameron a country who didn’t even qualify is best. At the end of the day we have two different opinions. Your opinion is not a fact either .

It is not an opinion but fact. Nigeria was the best in Africa between 1994-1996. Cameroon was the best in Africa between 2000-2003. Same with Egypt between 2006-2010 even without the WC showing.

Finally we have the 3 - 5 - 2 Formation we've been clamoring for. Also It's good Rohr plays Moses where he belongs - RWB, though I would have loved him to play as a LWB simply to accommodate Ebuehi in the Lineup as a RWB.

The Strike-force is very much spot-on. The Pace of Musa and potent Ability of Iheanacho in the Box gonna be handy for the Eagles today!

However, I hope to see Iwobi in the 2nd Half replacing Etebo or Mikel, as well as Ebuehi for Moses or Idowu.

Do you even understand the consciousness I refer to? You think I speak of the flesh? Listen up and learn Egbon... This is simple. wink

When a man is born again and has come into salvation, what happens? Is he still his old self? No.. He is a new creature. A new Spirit being is born. His soul needs watering through the constant intake of God's Word. As a Christiam, one's mind is renewed by the WORD and this renewal provides "that Consciousness". Tu comprends? So working it out is important because we can never ever have enough of the WORD. We must keep growing. Do you understand? The more we walk with and dwell on the word, the more our consciousness is alive to God.
And then When the infilling of the HolySpirit comes, he now is a carrier of God fully on the inside. He walks with the mind of God. And the mind of God is not a defeatist mindset nor a mind of fear.... The Bible also says " I have not given you the spirit of fear but a sound mind..." See? cheesy



And about the info... You dropped an initial post painting beautifully the picture of Iceland having beat us before. You so happily described it in fact. wink Then as if we didn't hear enough, you still wem on to post it and repeated same... Omo ehn... As a true fan, you really shouldn't have overdone it. It is match day. You simply were sowing fear and pessimism without even knowing it. Funny.


There is nothing like consciousness of man so far you are dead with Christ.

In short, for that reason Christ died. I will explain latter.

The consciousness I speak of is not man's consciousness naa. Haba. I speak of a consciousness of God. Being Alive to God. Your mind is now Christ's because of your association with HIM and through the presence of HIS Spirit in you. This is what I mean in extension. Abi you no see my talk on renewal? It is that renewal that births a new consciousness different from the dead and forgone consciousness with the old man. This new consciousness is the consciousness of God in the new man.
