if the tactics work out expect a very high pressing game and attacking game.

Abeg no vex Sir, make I ask, are you "on the ground"?....I mean, are you part of the technical crew?

You get liver to talk about the performance in Russia? Would the Super Eagles even have qualified for that World Cup in the first place, if not for Rohr? Where was the team before Rohr took over?

At a stage where we can’t even qualify for the AFCON on two different occasions from a group featuring the likes of Guinea! The team Rohr took over was
such a hot mess that even mediocre foreign coaches were respectfully declining a chance to coach us.

Now Rohr has cleaned up the team and we’re talking about “all the talents” at his disposal. Where are the talents? How many of our boys are playing week in
week out at their clubs?

Please enough of all these delusions of grandeur and realize that our players are average at best. Player to player, Algeria has a lot more talent than us.


O pari


Stop letting emotions cloud your reasoning. Rohr qualified us for AFCON and WC, that is good, we thank him, but you must agree that Rohr's fear-fear tactics is making him underutilize this team. Rohr makes it look like we are worse than we are.

Our major problem is that Rohr sets up his team to avoid pressing for the ball, sit back and hope for a lucky counterattack.
Please look again at the first half of the game against Ukraine where Rohr mistakenly allowed our players to press high and play attacking football. Didn't you see a difference?.

Rohr's previous achievements were not due to any tactical brilliance on his part but to the occasional brilliance of a few of his players, chiefly Victor Moses. Since Moses left what the hell has Rohr's team been playing?. An AFCON where at that group stage we played disgusting football, barely edging two lowly ranked teams 1-0 and then capped it off with a loss to MADAGASCAR!?. Only in the game against Cameroon can we credit Rohr with any manner of brilliance. Against S.A we needed Chukwueze's freak mistaken goal and a late minute header to win. Against a relatively disciplined and well coached Algeria, Rohr's lack of strategic prowess was clear for all to see.

Our team is average, but Rohr is average too.

Okoye, Ebuehi, Zaidu, balogun

That's all

Says the guy who recommended Onuachu to start the last game despite the glaring dangers in that. I would recommend that people always take your analyses/ tactical suggestions with a bowl of salt in the future.

Balogun is pure gold. I don't care if he sits on the bench all year round at his club, I'd start him every single time.

Ekong needs a replacement ASAP. Footwork was already average, it's now getting terrible.

Zaidu has potential. One for the future.

Ebuehi is good. Maybe still a needs more playing time to return to his usual blazing hot form but the positive signs are there.

Onyeka was anonymous.

Ajayi too.

Chukwueze is overhyped.

Samuel Kalu too.

Onuachu should quit football and open a furniture shop at Ariaria market Aba. Too tall to have sense. Should never be seen near a GWG shirt again.

Iwobi is our only creative player. Needs more consistency though.

Simon Moses is more reliable than Chukwueze and Kalu.

Iheanacho has potential from set pieces. I prefer him to Onuachu. Needs to work on his weight too.

Rohr is just an NPFL coach in white skin.

Okoye
Ebuehi
Zaidu
Ekong
Akpoguma
Agu
Onyeka
Iwobi
Kalu
Chukwueze
Onuachu

That's my starting line up.

Your line up has one glaring problem. Kalu and Chukwueze are inverted wingers. Inverted wingers do not do well at whipping crosses since they would have to do that with their weaker foot. Onuachu can only thrive in a formation that guarantees slower build up and plenty quality high crosses into the box. Those wingers can't give him that.

Kalu and Chukwueze are made for fast counterattacking football with plenty of short passes and freedom to make individual darting runs. We saw that against Ukraine. Starting them alongside a slow clumsy Onuachu will be a clear and comedic mismatch. Like wearing a suit and tie over traditional wrapper.

I agree. I'll pick Partey over Ndidi every day of the week.

I think the limited midfield role he plays in Leceister has stagnated Ndidi's development and improvement of his abilities.

In Genk, Ndidi was more daring, attempted dribbles, drove forward, tried long range shots & had more responsibilities in the team.

The Ndidi in Leceister only tackles, wins the ball and passes it on.

He's been turned into an effective but boring player.

Sadly, patriotism will not allow many people here to see the truth here.

This ndidi case sef, I don give up. Its very insulting that Arsenal signed Partey before Ndidi not because of ghana vs Nigeria Rivalry but because of how people claim Ndidi is talented. Its eithee that he isn't good as proclaimed or he has a bad agent. Thunder go faya anyone that start posting ndidi is the beat ball winner again after this season

Tell yourself the truth, if you were a coach, would you pick Ndidi ahead of Partey?. Ndidi is just a tough-tackling CB masquerading as a DM. Please check Ndidi's performances for the SE and see what I mean. He can't create, can hardly hit accurate passes whether long or short, can't take good set pieces, and let's not even talk about his finishing/ shot accuracy.

Partey on the other hand is everything Ndidi is and everything Ndidi is not. A true midfielder, he passes with vision, tackles, dribbles, takes brilliant set pieces and can score goals too. Add to that the fact that Partey can play various positions from AM, CM to DM and has even featured on the wings while Ndidi can only play CB and DM.

So, tell me again why you would pick Ndidi ahead of Partey?.

My thoughts also. Vic already agreed contract with Napoli.

New agent want big money. Napoli say no. New agent intimidate Napoli with English money. Napoli oblige. BOOM!

Why Osimhen change agent in middle of negotiation? Italian journalist already questioning his attitude and temperament.

Plan B is Ciro Immobile.

Wow.
