TheGoodJoe:

I am grateful to God. He was immense. My mind skipped when Ezenwa was on the ground, shaking. So I am okay. But, not happy with our timid display.

TheGoodJoe:
Father God in Heaven. We commit our young lads who match out flying the flag of Nigeria. I pray you grant them unity, love and devotion to today's game. Give them the grace to come out Victorious today. We thank you for the amazing victory in Uyo.

May you bless the coach and his crew with the tactical wisdom to shine today and please keep the players injury free.

Thank you for your grace and blessings. Grant us victory today and help us qualify for the World Cup.

Joebie:
Exactly what I was saying. Replace Exhiejile with Aina. Choke up the midfield. I saw Aina in bench. He was the first from left before the start of the match

AIG07:
Another option is Sone Aluko. But for Azeez, we don't need him. We've seen him play. We don't need him going forward. This three will make our Midfield strong and thick going forward.
-Azubuike
-Joel Obi
-Sone Aluko.

Una dey complain, the players dey sing, dey celebrate for Snapchat....

Mission Accomplished, that's all they know.

AIG07:
another beautiful one over there. Cameroon ain't that strong in the middle. I think I pointed this out during the confed cup. But I was so amazed they won the central midfield battle.

Switching to a 5-4-1 or 4-5-1 formation would have balance things up. But after the goal he chose 4-3-3 with tiring wide men(the two moses). It came to a time I didn't even see S.Moses on the pitch-I even taught he had been sub.

Eh wait was Aina on the bench? Cos me no see am.

edi287:
Speaking of a Mikel replacement, I'm surprised no one is talking about Iwobi. Iwobi will be a super 10 in the future. As long as we have a great destroyer(Ndidi, Onazi) and an energetic CM that can build play, we should be good.
Mikel will no doubt be hard to replace sha. Good thing we'll have him around for say another 4-5 years.

AIG07:
I'm not happy with the performances of two people and they are:
coach Rohr and Elderson Echiejile.
Reason been that...

1. Echiejile was our weakest link in both matches. He does not merit a starting shirt. The saddest part is that he can't improve any longer so we need a replacement asap. He made Moses and Onazi over worked and capped it all by unbalancing the defence. Practically all players came to his rescue.

2. I made a call on our coach's substitution techniques. He seem to be efficient in substitution. Why for God's sake will u sub like for like while leading. If the players on bench ain't good enough then don't invite them again.

I have never supported Ndidi-Onazi combo. Both players are not good passers. Kudos to Shehu, Ekong and Balogun. This three salvaged the draw for us.

TheSuperNerd:
Well.... I haven't tried myself out I'm actual coaching before but I already understand and deeply appreciate these coaches' challenges...

But Gary... he thought it all goes by the book and by stats and all that theoretical mumbo jumbo... lol... he met reality soon after. Hahahaha....

But Sir Dave... you bad oooo.... so now confess... why you call me Neville's boss? I saw that comment and laughed so hard my tummy hurt... wetin Gary do you? hahahaha...

LogoDWhiz:
Bro, dnt forget zambia game is still until next month. Next international break.

pyrex23:
definately alampasu

jotey:
ikeme enyeama alampasu

TheSuperNerd:
Looolll... what is with you and Gary Neville? Hahahahahahahahaha....

jotey:
alampasu

what's the need of carrying 28 year old man to the World Cup as third choice?

TheSuperNerd:
Mehn... Sir Dave... (u know you are my namesake right? )...

I gotta tell ya... I admire Rohr's ability to try handle these selection headaches and decisions. Really not easy. Besides I play Virtual soccer games as part of leisure and I face such selection brouhaha but biko it is nothing like the real thing Rohr and other coaches spoilt for choices face.... kudos to coaches.

Icon79:
I totally agree with you, Dave. Part of the reason why I wanted Kelechi to replace Ighalo. And even Moses could sit this one out as well, if I were the coach, but we gotta have Mikel tho.

I mean, tomorrow's game is important but not as important as the Zambia game especially if Zambia were to beat Algeria tomorrow.

TheSuperNerd:
Enyeama should be back by later this year or in January depending on his progress on that right knee... His twitter clip was a bit encouraging shaa. Showed him working out that knee but he still felt discomfort in his facial expressions. But again when he does return he needs to regain match fitness and sharpness. Hence the need for him to find a new club by January possibly.

As for Ikeme, all I can say is that he should just focus on recovery from this cancer condition. He should keep being positive... Keen Optimism will play a huge role for him. I have seen a few miracles of recoveries from his cases... and his chances of recovery are great but to be fit for Russia 2018? Well that is not certain... for now even.. based on progress.. he is not in the picture but if a miracle fast recovery occurs then we could have a comeback on our hands... but speaking realistically and based on certain parameters... Ikeme is hardly in the picture for Russia.


So that leaves us with just Enyeama.... so your question could be who will be second and third choice?

Rohr's call man... not mine. Really don't want to be in his position. I got stuffs I already handle... lol

TheSuperNerd:
Naaah... Joebie is right. Kidiaba it is....

Icon79:
This would be my line up, if I were the coach:

Ezenwa

Shehu...Ekong...Balogun...Aina (yes, he can play LB)

Ndidi...Onazi...Mikel

Victor Moses...KC...Etebo (we need his high work rate plus the end products)

But I am almost 100% sure that Rohr would stick with the same line up. Most coaches don't change a winning team.


O pari

Joebie:
The only thing i remember of Ezenwa is his celebration reminiscent of Robert Kidiaba

TheSuperNerd:
Looooollll......

Helmet-gini?

chaaaiiiiii... my belle ooo

Winning 6 consecutive home games and he is celebrating!

Many Nigerian club coaches have done more than that. Home game is the surest to be won.

oduduwa was not flesh and blood... the "exodus" out of egypt is what is called oduduwa, All black people of different ethnic groups formed oduduwa and left Egypt together to meet their other counterparts in what is now called west Africa..

this oba is very wrong when he says women were never respected, women ruled Africa and were treated as Goddesses...
