TheGoodJoe:


I praised Musa for the goal and genuinely celebrated the win. I just said Rohr should work on Musa passing to the player in better option for next time sake. Just as we hammered on Moses to reduce his selfish play.

I wonder why something as simple as that should be a problem.

From Iceland's coach;

“Where we met Mikel was contrary to our preparation and all our attempts to change did not work. He was all over the place both back and front. I commend him and the entire Nigerian team. They were better."

darkelf:
Am I the only one still not sold on Rohr as a good coach?

It took outcry from other coaches and ex-footballers for him to do the right thing.

If he couldn't decipher the right tactics by himself without imput from Mourinho and the likes, then we are in for a long thing my friends

Anyways, best player in the match wouldn't be Musa, in fact he has been pencilled down and if Messi, Ronaldo and other great footballers have been successfully marked out in times past, I believe the Argentine already have a plan for him.

If I were in Rohr's shoes, I wouldn't start Musa and iheanacho, I'd go with simy and ighalo or iwobi and simy. Trust me just like the Icelandic coach, sampaoli wouldn't see it coming.

I have strong feeling that if we stick to the tactics we used against Iceland and same set of players we started the match with, we'll get beaten black and blue and will end our campaign on a sour note.

Just my opinion guys

TheGoodJoe:


My point is so simple, so I wonder why you are asking the above.

Rohr should talk to Musa about passing to the player in a better position for next time sake. Is this so difficult to understand?

Actually Dad... It is Head-to-head ahead of Goals Difference. That is the new rule.

somehow:
Oga Musa was started to score, he worked for the ball, raised his head up, saw a clear coast after beating 2 defenders and the GK, picked his spot and scored.

There is nothing like better option in that situation.


The best option is the option that got the job done.

Did Musa get the job done?

So please concentrate on how Iheanacho will score his against Argentina or how we can create more chances for our strikers come 26th and stop flogging a dead horse.

If intelligence was with the majority I guess everybody would be a professor.

Actually it rests with the minority.

I agree with your observation.

please you give that list to.Southgate....we don't mind gift him to England...

I wonder how you analyse football.... field a player on goal drought in a very important match of that kind.
I believe you will make a poor manager....


So who is the player in goals FLOOD please tell us oh.

safarigirl:
in your mind now, you and that ode are intelligent.

I hope you are a Professor yourself with the way you come here to feel important.

please na, he offend you before? lol

Oasis007:




Let's talk Footie jhoor, this Thread no be for Church matter!

princfred:
Etebo is offering a lot of marking and movement needed in the midfield.

safarigirl:
why will you play Ighalo at all?

If you want a change, then don't start Idowu, start Ebuehi in Idowu's position, maybe drop Kelechi for Iwobi or Etebo for Ogu.

Nothing should ever make anyone reason starting Ighalo for us.

Shukusheka:
Simy and Ighalo, the two most immobile forwards in our team is who you want to start in a 3-5-2 that requires mobility & agility from the forwards?

Why fix what is not broken? Tweaking the formation game after game won't help the coordination of the team.

TheGoodJoe:


Please. The picture clearly shows this.

AK481:


Replace ebuehi with iwobi and move him to etebo position.

Iwobi replaces etebo in second half

OMANBALA1:
Is it not about time Victor Moses sits on the bench to figure out what he is at the world cup to do? That short man has continued to stifle Nigeria attack of any life left in it. I am completely depressed whenever he is on the field....If he is not falling with a little touch ,he is dribbling nonsense when he is not dribbling his forefathers out of space he is ballooning the ball. I am tired and frustrated with Victor Moses. And let me hear anybody call him the star player of the team. That AKPUDA contributes lameness to the team.

Whenever he has the ball his first instinct is to dribble and we all can count on our fingers how many times Victor Moses has had a successful dribble that resulted into a goal...VicMo is TRASH and he is not gonna improve. And dinosaur Rohr will not do the needful and bench he ,rather he will add spineless Ighalo and keep Iwobi on the bench.

The problem,of Super Eagles now is the coach,the danm coach!!
He needs to be fired ASAP.

diadem10:


2 proper forwards that can give us the presence upfront is the key. One is Musa. The other could be Simy, Nacho or Ighalo. Not Ogu nor Iwobi.

Ogu is better off as a substitute for Mikel or one of the centreback trio while Iwobi could come in for Etebo. But Etebo is more defensively sound than Iwobi and that will be needed against the Argentines eventhough he's not as creative as Iwobi..

Back to the forwards, it has to be one of Simy Nwankwo, Ighalo odion and Iheanacho to play alongside Musa as our 2 forwards. A pity we haven't seen more of Simy hence we can't guage how good he will be in the role. All with different skillset as forwards.

TheGoodJoe:


Please. The picture clearly shows this.

somehow:


You're now sounding like a broken record sir. Quit the nagging.

TheGoodJoe:


We played in a conservative way in the Croatian game what Boss Icon4s said is very through. With Moses and Possibly Ebuehi taking the wing back role, if our mobile attackers in Nacho and Musa are closely marked, it will create room for the wing backs to cause damage.

He is very spot on.

jihday:
abeg, make we just beat Argentina and save ourself the stress

TheGoodJoe:


Please. The picture clearly shows this.

jihday:
thank God it's just your opinion. and I know Rhor is on nairaland and twitter to listen to beer parlour analyst he doesn't analyse games with his crew who are specialist

LieDetector:
how many times have we scored a goal from WB? Our team currently lacks creativity. We can only hope for a better result against Argentina. It's two days to the game but I must confess I already have my heart in my hand.

We should be discussing on how to contain Argentina's attack and be clinical in our finishing. No room for complacency.

I appreciate the boys not posting pictures yet as it makes me believe they're aware of the magnitude of the game ahead of us

darkelf:


So, combining iobi and simy isn't a good idea? Do you think the Argentine would give Musa those opportunities?

Is it until we get baely beaten against them you'll know that using Musa and nacho isn't a good idea?

elyte89:




A sane striker in such a position won't pass


Besides, those clamouring for him to pass to iheanacho,want d latter name to be registered with a goal in dis competition,maybe to spite ighalo ,

Let him wait for his turn,he will score too
