This is not a training or friendly match. starting simmy,musa and nacho means you are sacrificing Etebo or mikel and it make no sense in this kinda game.

and bringing on 3 new attackers to replace them look like a PlayStation decision, guess you were joking afterall.
Glad you finally got the tone.... grin


ease some tension too na.

you even wanna see Ighalo...me don't wanna see him at all...let rohr give other players the opportunity to impress..... especially simmy...he is a high profile striker in Italy
let's see what he has to offer
Rohr can do it this way..



start Simy and Musa up front and Nacho behind then


Second half let the trio of Iwobi, Moses and Ighalo take up the reins.


Reason being that I expect th3 first trio to bury the game and the 2nd trio to set up very hard disturbance against that Argentine defence. If It was Lokosa, I'd pick him instead. But I have no choice again sha.

Well it's just 3subs, so I prefer to see Iwobi and Moses come on provided there is no one at the back that takes a knock whatsoever.


I believe Musa and Simy would do something to calm our nerves.

This one that Pks just dey full everywhere.


These players have not used Var to train atall. Asin how to take advantage of the crappy system just yet?

Expect Messi to wana dance rough near our box. He knows we would bring him down and so he gets a freekick. Let's deny him such a golden platter.

I expect us to score first also, else..... We need to bury the game early.

Lol. I dunno but from the way the bench scene was during the match, I can say Ighalo does have knowledge of the game the way Rohr wants it, but his outputvis crappy. I could see Ighalo begging to be brought on after Musa scored the second goal... Like seriously?

Me I wish Simy takes top spot against Argentina.

But that game is the beginning of the real impact of Winfred Ndidi till we leave Russia. He must be his top form. Iwobi should start from Centre to me. I'd prefer a Moses come on second half when running must have weakened the Argies defence.

Starting Etebo, Iwobi, Musa and Iheanacho would do well to me. I don't wanna see Ighalo till 70th minute.


Musa on left, with Etebo at his back, Nacho and Iwobi will be rotating the CF.

If only Rohr Trusts Simy as well.


Croatia would wana win that match cos if we win and they lose, it means we are facing Australia instead of France.

Yakubu scored plenty goals for Nigeria. Ighalo is not on the same level yet.

I hope Ighalo and Iheancho get among the goals in the next match, we need confident strikers going into the second round.
Yeah boss, I'm referring to him being alone upfront like Yak was most of his career. He wasn't that poor atall.

Komekn, i prefer Iwobi as Striker than Ighalo.


in 8games,which a striker supposed to scores at least 1goal. it was Iwobi that scores 4goals.


Ighalo would chop bench if Mou was our coach. There is no other explanation for this simple fact. Yakubu wasn't this poor.

Sports › Re: Opinion: Mikel, A Key To Success Or Failure Of Super Eagles In 2018 World Cup by daveP(m):
He is way past his prime


Mikel has gotten his Slowbie shoes back on.


I have written him off before this mundial


Iwobi that many were shouting is too young is an upgrade on Mikel.

The Mikel that Nigerians were so proud that he can't be dispossessed of the ball early was dispossessed Vs Croatia many times. That's the sign that baba is past his prime. Even his captaincy roles is sketchy. He's done well and should retire like Messi would. They both tried well. 13years no be beans.


Let the younger ones take over.



And no way can the hopes of this team be hinged on his best form again. His best is the average of The Russia team. Iwobi will play 10 and will do so.


And anybody thinking he has half the stuff Modric brings to the table should better go to utopia and dream on. Reality is, his time is up and we should give him his standing ovation. If Enyeama was in this team and Mikel wasn't, I'd shout. hallelujah

It was rather part of the game plan from the gaffer. It was not like Moses chose that pattern. The belief was if it worked against Poland it will work against Croatia who were more physical than the poles
If that's how he thought, then he is dumber than I thought. He should give FIFA some credit @Fifa refs.

In 2013, a EPL club was interested in Sunday Mba the nonsense that went in in Nigeria with Warri Wolves, everybody remove hand.

I don't even think Mba knew what was going on.
Yeah, I remember Mba crying one time and camera caught him.


If we go to check most of the contract conditions and stuff in those papers, I'm sure all of them would have something like "in case this player gets a juicy deal, then we his parents club are entitled to 10% of his sign in fees.... blah blah"

And that's how the career of a guy that was fearless and daring and bold and passionate and Eagulian in nature, died. His story would've inspired several true footballers that wanted to just give their all to make GWG great again.

Hehehehehehehehe.

VicMo is doomed If he tries those falling antics henceforth. These FIFA refs are having none of it again o. See the fouls that the ref is overlooking. Some are legit, but cos these Argies have perfected falling, the ref looks away. It's now a unmerited favour to Croatia.....

We don't even have a midfielder in the mould of Modric who is so free and appears anywhere he likes. imagine.


Argies must disband this team after this.


Imagine almighty Aguero gives way for old man Higuain.....

Interesting stats

From this stats it is obvious our Frontline is not scoring

To make matters worse, our coach hasn't realized this rather he stifles the attack more, and as well limiting their play with wrong positions and playing limited attacking personal.

He is at this world cup with 6 attackers... With six attackers in your team Mikel have no business playing AM.

You should be starting games with minimum two out and out strikers supported by 2 or 3 other forwarders.

By my experience, forwarders awareness are naturally sharpened to attack, attack, attack... Its their natural instincts. So the talk about sluggish play wouldn't arise because your attackers will continue driving forward at all times

In this regard, Rohr has messed up


He should seek to play a formation that accommodates many of his attackers instead of this he currently plays that accomodates more of his midfielders


Gush!!... I shouldn't be teaching this man his Job angry
I wonder if they review the games that the previous world cup team played atall. The setup and all that!!!


It's a big shame that we can't even look at that and use it to instill some responsibility into the forwards.


Some players are blessed to go to 4World cups like Muller. For Africans, it's mostly thrice. That's min of 9 and max of 11 if they go far. Imagine, 9games in 12years!!!! 810 minutes in 12years and they can't just prove that they will give more than their muscles can offer They can't die on the pitch like the Mexicans against the Germans. They can't run and run and run and defend and defend so that a legacy can be set for many years to come.

How do they look at the world cup?

A circus show of what they can do maybe. A big pity.


That stat up there is a reflection of just how bad our work on the attack line is in 4years time. When was the last time we had one striker scoring back to back for 10 straight games for the GWG?


Yet smaller African teams have such a stat for their strikers.

Actually they will not even bother work permit rules make it a waste of time.

There are ways for creative agents to bring youthful players in. However. the greed of the clubs makes it impossible to have reasonable negotiations with them.
That work permit crap is just one of their top formalities to make players careful and wiser. It's getting old a method to me.


Why do they rush it for some very important players but make it difficult for Africans?


Well thank God you know how our clubs will react when we have such a Halloween opportunity.


It's then Enyimba and Rangers would start to fight over a 24year old striker claiming he was officially or unofficially their player. Documents here and there. One office goes off with fire and they com3 to the media to say the players files were burnt in the fire outbreak.... endless antics. lol.

Iwobi

The player that scored 4 of the 7goals we got in the 8friendlies Should be encouraged and given the freedom cos only him thrives when these others flop. He and Nacho have an understanding, pair them to play near each other. Sometimes these players need defy the coach if his tactics isn't working. but we have bunch if mercs concerned with money. They don't see this match as war. they see it as a circus.

I am already tired of them.

I don remove my mind from Super Eagles, I cannot be carrying another person's troubles on my head. I am not the players, I don't know any of them personally. Like I have always said, it is their lives, their careers and their reputations out there. If they are not concerned enough about it to fight in this tournament, why should I be concerned?

Las las, if they crash out, I support Iceland and Senegal. At least those teams have fight and pride in them. They have spirit.
grin

Lol

It's like money motivates them always.
Germany won the world cup and gave the bonuses to charity.

Mean while we need more than 10companies to promise some amount of cash for everygoal scored. And when such an incentive is no around, they just don't happen to have the motivation. Ironic?

Well. Oliseh may just be at a corner now smiling. And We know he had good intentions but the wrong way.

Keshi was the last coach to discipline this big headed VicMo for his stupid antics of selfishness and indiscipline on the pitch, preferring Osaze to him. But since that time, Moses still never learn. He is now a god to many, untouchable.


Our defenders have improved

Our coordination is still shaky.

The middle itself is just not clicking.

NFF are still playing with agents

and we don't see that this happens every 4years. 4years and we aren't tired of only playing 3games and going home, wasting lots of billions of cash that if 1/50 is pumped into our local league, we would see obvious fruits/results.


Imagine Ogu bantering with a fan right in camp on social media!!!?

Ive worked backstage of many official events and I know the things that happen that the front stage mustn't see or hear. It's why I'm interested in the body language of most of the players and staff on the bench.


Let's support Mexico, they wouldn't disappoint. No Italy here to make them scared of a crash out.

Ighalo has always played better with a strike partner. He does not play well alone. Maybe combining with Simy can be a positive
I dunno why the risk keeps being taken.


Osaze and Emenike paired up front at 2014 and Now Ighalo wey never perform reach these two is left alone upfront?


2014 stats

3 goals for
5 goals against
7forwards of which 4were useless taking them to Brazil


2018 stats

0 goals for
2 against
6Forwards of which one has proven to be incapable already having scored no goals in our last 8matches. A world cup bound team would have dropped him asap for younger, better options, instead of "Keeping faith" with him.


looks so familiar

Limp attack power or is it the technical aspect.

Having a coaching certificate does not make you more knowledgeable than someone who has none. Just like someone with a certificate in Agriculture may not know better than a FARMER. A certificate is a piece of paper, knowledge cannot be limited to a piece of paper.
