I dont care how you lot see this but Rohr's over conservatism and rigidness might cost us a fortune at the long run.

No matter how u guys paint it, he goofed with the judgement of Aina's position in the team. Why not give the boy as much chances in the RB which is his main position, he instead preferred a make shift in Shehu.

Aina should have been giving as much opportunity to see if he could replicate his Hull showings on the RB position, he should have been the one fighting it out with Ebuehi while Shehu fights for his place in the midfield with Agu, Agbo, Onazi and Joel.

If Ebuehi and Shehu had played on the left side, would they have done better than Aina did? If Rohr was honest with his judgement and wants to accommodate Shehu, the either of Onazi and Joel would have joined Agu so that Shehu shifts to the middle while Aina slogs it out with Ebuehi.

As bad as Joel and Onazi are they are headed for Russia ahead of Aina, Agbo, Azu and Esiti yet someone wanna make me believe Rohr is an honest man? Smh

I'm not pro innit boys but Aina was treated unfairly

I practice what I preach. I dont believe in after thoughts as you can see for yourself

Oboy this one na bullet

Icon4s:
And what has Azubuike got to do with this now?

This is senior football abeg. Even Etebo that was the hit man of that class is also struggling in this team.

Egbe onu. Oga ur Onazi say make u face ur palm

Martz101:
onazi started 17 games, he was injured, he miss Algeria and Argentina match because of it too.

Out of over 36 games, he started a paltry 17 which isn't up to half of the total games and you are so proud, on a low Trabz of Turkey? Even the few he started, was he able to play up to 60 minutes before getting yanked off?

Kog45:
It is not about praising Ebuehi is better remember i rated Shehu ahead but with what i saw against Congo and England even a blind will start Ebuehi.

U are an honorable man for admitting your flaws

Kog45:
Sir is not about calming down but he is not the same Joel again,three matches with no cleared cut performance,taking him to WC would be pure sentiment though i don't rate Agu but he deserve it more than Joel.

Due to how disappointing Agu was when he was giving the little chances had had before his slightly above average showing against Congo, I was scared to say the bolded even though its true. But all the same, I'm annoyed with Rohr for failing to show us Agbo. Dude has done better for Granada and Liege in the past two seaons than Onazi for Tranbz, he probably could have done better than the dou of Onazi and Joel for the Eagles

edi287:
Rohr needs to tell him to calm down. He is too eager to impress. There was absolutely no need to clash heads with Leon Balogun. It was hilarious and quite sad

As if the headbutt on Balogun wasn't enough he also ran like a man whose wife is in labour and nearly clattered into Idowu who was goal bound. Why he rushed into that game while Idowu was in a better position to strike beats my imagination.

TheGoodJoe:

I do not trust Onazi to stay disciplined at the back. Onazi caused us to fail in a lot of games with his reckless running forward and leaving us exposed at the back.

My comment in April 5th, 2016. For you to say the above over two years later is frightening. My stance on Onazi never changed.

I am sorry bro, it was an oversight. No be you na Icon4s, Kog45 etc

TheGoodJoe:
Me Onazi? Are you serious? I have never rooted for Onazi. Even during the time of Keshi, I called for dropping Onazi for Hope Akpan. I believe one of the reasons we did not qualify for the AFCON then was Onazi.


If we were to maintain the same formation, I expected Etebo off because I did not see Rohr pulling out his experience Onazi. If not, the best choice was Onazi off.

https://www.nairaland.com/3018619/super-eagles-thread-russia-2018/1111#57404403

You can read some of my opinions in the link like the bolded above and tell me Onazi is my best midfielder. I Wonder what you gain by spreading false information. A weakly calculated lie.

Chai see as everybody dey wash his hands off Onazi as though he was infected with a deadly diseases. If Onazi reads this your post, trust me him go hang himself

Pele oo Joe, na Icon4s carry am for head

The rate at which Joel bumps into his team mates makes me wonder if he was on drugs. In that congo match he did it, killing a sweet counter attack as a result, then yesterday he showed us his plans. I nearly broke my LCD when he headbutted Balogun. My woman was like, gush who who be this agbero again nah!!

realpoacher:
Ogenyi Onazi is an overweight slow tortoise

If he makes it to Russia and starts our matches then Rohr is Corrupt and was Bribed

Lol bro easy though your anger is justified, Rohr should be exonerated because majority of Nigerian fans didn't see this coming from the workaholic Onazi and crafty Joel Obi(the one they said he has the best and most cultured left foot in Nigeria) lol

zuchyblink:
Iwobi has scored 5 goals for SE in 18 matches from the midfield while Ighalo has scored 4 in the same number of matches for the SE from CF position .

Please rephrase it, Ighalo has also seen more minutes than Iwobi

TheGoodJoe:
Uzoho is doing well for a young man but I am not convinced we put the best choice in goal or if he is ready for us to get excited. I believe he is the best among the pack we invited but we need thorough unbiased goalkeeper screening after the World Cup and select the best. If not we are deceiving ourselves.

Also the coaching crew needs to keep the young keeper on his toes to get him close to ready for the World Cup.

By the way, what the hell was up with our players in allowing English players restrict the movement of Uzoho during corner-kicks. That should never happen again. A player of ours should be close to the Goalkeeper during corner-kicks to prevent an opposing player from stopping the Goalkeeper from moving.

hat was at caused the first goal and it was so amateurish from our players.

At your first paragraph, who else is the best choice even though u admitted he's the best among the three in camp?


Your best midfielder(Onazi) was guilty of your last paragraph. You have always rooted for him

tbaba1234:
I have always stood up for Uzoho. I just did not believe, he was ready for the WC based on what i saw in his club. That does not mean, i do not believe in his potential. In fact, if you go back to my posts on the Poland and Serbia games, you will see that i spoke highly of his potential.

My worry has never been his potential, it is whether, he is ready NOW. Based on what i saw for his club, i was not sure.

By the way, a few weeks back, i did post a man of the match performance from him.

I giggled and then SMHV

Martz101:
na only you sing the song Mr musician??

Lol akpamu I cant remember u signing the song too

edi287:
Abeg understand Sarcasm before you comment..

Guy please admit it, u didn't put it well. U need to learn to master the art.

I felt another f©©l had landed to talk trash until I saw the moniker, then, I was like Oh Edi I caught U.

Martz101:
played 21 league games out of possible 36 and we all can remember he was injured for sometime

Out of the 21 matches he played, how many did he start? He was mostly a sub to see out games. In other words, most of Onazi's games last season were cameo appearances.

Next time argue what u know

Loogan:
Endorsed!
In every problem or conflict there it’s advanges!
Looked like the world had ended when ikeme got sick but Uzoho I can’t believe Nigerians aren’t excited about him, coz his talent speaks for him. He’s not there yet but looks like he’s gonna be a worldclass goalkeeper before or in his mid 20s

God bless you Loogan, God bless u. Before Uzoho made his first team debut for Lacoruna under Pepe Mel, I wrote it here that the then unknown boy might be where he is today banishing the ugly memories of Ikeme's leukemia. Guess what the so-called elders said...

As if that wasn't enough, they resorted to pointing out only his mistakes neglecting his good deeds in his every outing so far for the Eagles because they want non-existent experience(Akpeyi and Ezenwa) over quality (Uzoho).

Uzoho would only be a second and or third choice to either of Enyeama of 2010 and or Ikeme of 2017, not to those pretenders(Akpeyi et al) they want to mount our post

tbaba1234:
By the way, Uzoho will be a world class keeper. I hope we have a good tournament and he moves to another club to play top flight football.

So finally u guys are now singing same song with me? Lol I still remember your words after that Poland match. I was pained you could say those things even though you were the only person backing me up for rooting for him before the Poland match. I saw the mockery you made of the young lad by posting videos where he conceded goals without making up for that goof by also posting videos where he did excellently well.

komekn:
Ebuehi has for me put Shehu into retirement NUFF said.

Joel Obi and Onazi have lost thier with Onazi carrying way too much weight.

Ogu did not stabilise the midfield, we were playing 3-5-2. He was left sided CB his lack of pace and recovery opened the door for Welbeck you almost have an open road to score goal if not for Ekong.

Etebo brought much needed invention, stability,mobility, attack and much needed defensive backtracking.

Musa gave Walker a lesson in sprinting.

With the work they did as a collective Mikel was unleashed with licence to roam. Iwobi is fast growing up and running � tings.

When will Aina get a game at RB or LB we really have not tested him properly.

Idowu has given Echiejile is pension, nuttin more to say.

Finally, football brought the Naija community out in full force LONDON shake no be small.

Met old classmates I hadn't seen for years and some Naija celebrity musicians.

GR8 Day in the end after causing cardiac arrest to the nation the revived themselves in the second half.

Choi Southgate, honestly this is the first time u ever made sense to me especially with the bolded. Let's not get carried away, Ogu lacks pace, hence, gave welbeck a field day, thanks to Welbeck's mumurity he should have struck that ball before Ekong came to the rescue, forcing him to pass back and in the next calling, winning a sliding tackle.


About Onazi, Shehu and Joel I have always pointed that out that those guys are pretenders.

Joebie:
When someone agrees with your joke
But Azu would have made the 23 if he were given a chance I think.

I no understand ur first line

Mujtahida:
I've never been involved in this Onazi argument but I think you should consider that Onazi is not in form.

Onazi's best days are behind him, it's nothing to do with form. Dude peaked as far back as 2013 through 2014 and ever since that time, he's been a shadow of himself. Lazio noticed that and declared him surplus to requirement and since they sent him away to the Turkey, dude has been overly crappy.

Martz101:
Onazi is not a bench warmer in turkey

How many matches did he start this past season?

Next time any mofo comes here to tell me my boy Uzoho isn't ready for the big stage like the mundial, I go swear for that person generation. Dude was our saviour today. Though I wasn't surprised but he looked more comfortable playing in Wembley than Pickford. Uzoho's bravery is second to none KPOM

Joebie:
Sincerely I wish we could exchange Aina, Onazi, J. Obi for other players outside the 30. e.g Duru, Azubuike, and Esiti respectively

Jk

So una eye dun dey open abi, I have always maintained that Azubuike Okechukwu is a better player than those pretenders but tbaba1234 and Icon4s were against me for saying that. Im just Happy u guys are now seeing what Michael and I saw ages ago.

Azubuike made our midfield thick at the Olympics and he has been the best midfielder amongst our midfield contingents that ply their trade in the Turkish league.

Agu and Onazi are bench warmers in this same league, yet they are always picked ahead of Azu Okey by Rohr. For reasons best known to him, he also prefers those two to Esiti and Agbo. Just smh bkus Rohr is gradually losing my confidence KPOM

Michael please where are you? Those who called us clueless and haters have finally been treated to a sweet dinner by their Onazi

My best players of the game are Iwobi followed by Uzoho though the later should have done more with that 2nd goal. If other players were as brave as this two we wouldn't have lost this match.

I was impressed with Uzoho's dominance in the air, his awareness (look how he anticipated that cross from Sterling and scuttled it), his reflexes etc. Like I always say, my boy is a special talent.

When Michael and I tell you guys that Onazi is a very useless player, you guys think we are haters

eterisan:
you can give us live pictures from Wembley! No?

Lol

OMANBALA1:
Proof that Mikel Obi is insecure.
1. He dropped his surname and took Mikel to appear Oyibo-ish
2. Married a sick looking oyibo.
3. Fake accent
4. Never heard him spoke Igbo or rep Igbo
By the way, I was equally a Jos, Plateau born

Stop talking rubbish man, we all know how the Mikel name came about.
I would rather marry that sick looking gal than a Nigerian beautiful liability
Pure jealousy
Last line is cockeyed, how many times do you write I Igbo here?

OMANBALA1:
Firstly, Mikel's command of spoken English is not that great. Okocha, Kanu and Oliseh speak better English. Secondly, you don't lose your accent at that age ,Mikel was already in his 20s before he arrived England and he didn't school there. Finally, I might be a lot of things but jealousy is not one of them, I might envy somebody but I am never jealous of nobody not because I am somebody great but I am just confident in the little things God blessed me with.

Long talk

A pundit with talksports said Tottenham want their old boy (Ekong) back with them. Let's see how he does in Wembley and the world Cup proper.
