Olusegun strikes again

Link please...

stop trying to save face.
bolded@ what stops vardy you want nancho to emulate from converting those two clear cut chances?
you see nancho is a unique player of his own kind.
you can go emulate vardy but nancho is a class on its own even when it is not obvious yet for all to see.
vardy still has a lot to learn because if he was that good....he would have at least go break into the English first 11 easily or convert one of those 2 chances. all his time as an English player he was a backup so he is little above average.

it should be clear to you that the team play a negative foot ball mostly with little creativity from the midfield...when a team like arsenal, spurs can create more better goal scoring opportunities and still keep pressing unfortunately Leicester still playing kick and rush football in the epl

Iheanacho simply can't get into the scoring positions Vardy does. I don't know why this is hard for some people to get.
Right now the truth is Nacho is neither a 9 or a 10. He is an SS and funny enough Leicester is probably the only decent epl team that still plays this (unless we want Nacho playing for relegation threatened team)
If just finishing alone was enough, Lukas Podolski would've been the best striker in the world at his peak.
Constructive criticism of naija players needs to stop being seen as "hating" by some of you guys.

comodo:
Instead of telling us that Vicmo gambled, thinking that it will favour him. The amulet no catch Ekong & Balogun including Aina & Iwobi. The dude wants to make a return to SE. Sarri don use bench reset him brain sharpally. Take it or leave it National teams can increase a players worth like HBP

Lol that ANS guy na proper clown. I'm glad Vic Mo has changed his mind.
He's a very important player for us and we need dude's experience badly at the AFCON. Perform well and he puts himself in the shopping window.

tbaba1234:
Who do you support?

Pinnick all day. I wish Kojo Williams would run one of these days

tbaba1234:
Why not?

He will very easily make the first team. Maybe not the first 11 but definitely the first team.

Meant first 11 actually. Yeah he'd make the bench no question

Victor Moses Not On Good Terms With One Experienced Super Eagles Player Before Announcing Retirement

Victor Moses Not On Good Terms With One Experienced Super Eagles Player Before Announcing Retirement
Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Chelsea winger Victor Moses was not on good terms with an experienced Super Eagles player, Elderson Echiejile, before he called time on his international career last month.

The official word from the former England U17 star is that he took the decision to quit the Nigeria National Team so he could spend time with his family and focus on his career with Chelsea, but there is more to it than that.

Moses did not have a cordial relationship with Elderson Echiejile simply because a member of his family in Benin City advised him to be wary of the former Monaco defender.

The two players were supposed to be good friends as they are both products of BJ Foundation and skippered the Benin City based academy at youth tournaments.

Before relocating to London, Moses was the captain of BJ Foundation's U13 team and Echiejile skippered the U16s.

Apart from having a frosty relationship with Echiejile, Moses had complained that he was not comfortable fraternizing with some Super Eagles players because they are involved in fetish practices.

Moses scored 12 goals in 37 appearances for the Super Eagles and was part of the Nigeria squad that won the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.

Abegi make this ANS guy go sitdown. No be Nollywood movie be this

cafcup:
In response to your assertion regarding the Super Eagles player breaking into Chelsea's first team, I want to put it to you that we do have a couple of them.

1. Ndidi can fit in there pretty good.
2. Aina is a young lad and has played for the blues as well.

Try to get your facts right next time bro.

Cheers!

Ndidi isn't getting into Chelsea's first team.

SlayerForever:
Good evening. They played a 4-3-3. No recognized 10. No worry about the "space" behind the striker.
Busquets in the screenshot there is positioned much deeper,just in front of the backline

Modified: Again,the formation I forwarded previously. If the 3 players are to feature.

Simon---Musa--Kalu

-----Iwobi--Etebo--

--------Mikel-----

Idowu-Balogun-Ekong-Ajayi

There has to be a ball winner in the midfield 3. Ndidi starts over Etebo for me. Mikel has lost his legs so needs an aggressive ball winner next to him.

ChrisKels:
Guy we have too many inverted wingers already who Nwakali cant dust their boots as an inverted winger, himself, hence it is stupid playing Nwakali as an inverted winger Neglecting the position (creative midfield) that demands urgent attention. U wanna tell me if Ebere, Ejaria, Ajagun or Igbekeme were there, they would have been played as inverted wingers. Do we need wingers or play makers? If Nwakali cant make it as a CM or AM, u fu¢king leave him out for a more suitable player. This Rohr Dude is a disgrace, I haven't seen such a clueless coach in the super eagles before.

I personally think the guy has his 23 for next year's Afcon in his mind. Dude was probably fulfilling all righteousness inviting Nwakali.
Then again, it could be that he didn't give two bleeps about this friendly...who knows?

ChrisKels:
That lunatic called Rohr is a crook. He invited Nwakali with the xcuse that he is looking for a creative midfielder and here he is playing him out wide even though we have the finest wingers right now in Africa? Only he knows the games he is playing because it beats me how the Nwakali brothers got invited by him for no good reason. I want this man sacked, honestly. He is killing our national team, we need to act fast, otherwise, he gets it decimated. He is a fraudster because to me, he is only here for the money, not to help build our team. He is a thief.

Guess he's playing him as an inverted winger. To be fair, he has played there a few times in the Eredivisie.
His best position na CM sha.

Looks like I didn't miss anything at all from the comments.
Pinnick will need to explain the meaning of this.

Starting Line Up

tbaba1234:
Ademola Lookman is an excellent addition. He is young and adds to the excellent wing players in the team.

We might not need a top 9 with the kinds of players, we have.

Rohr will have to sacrifice a DM if we want to go with a false 9. 2 DM and a not so mobile Mikel as 10 wouldn't work with a false 9. You need the front 4 to be very mobile and switch positions easily.

forgiveness:
Well, I don't think his stats in that CF role support he will be good in that position.

Besides, we need a genuine AMF in the team and the only player in a decent league is Abdul Ajagun. He is the only one that plays in that position in Europe after I discovered that Ebere Eze plays more as a Central Midfielder.

Snapshot 1..... Abdul Ajagun

Snapshot 2 Ebere Eze

Eze can still fill in as an AM. Besides Iwobi is still around. We'll just play 4-3-3 when he isn't around. Ajagun really should be tried out in one of these friendlies.
As for Lookman, I saw him play once as a CF at Charlton and he was ok. Great finisher, quick feet and good movement. He'd make a great false 9

Mickael2:
[/b]That I will totally agree with if we are willing to change our formation to suit that other person[b], but can you trust Rohr to change his formation? Give Rohr anyother type of player and what you will get will be the same game Iheanacho had against SA, dry and poor by every means and then he will come to a press conference and tell you how we need more presence up top and Ighalo is back

This is the crux of the issue. I wish people would understand this.

As long as Rohr is around - Ighalo is our first choice number 9.
How people are suggesting we play Musa, Nacho, etc as a false when we know Rohr is going to play with two destroyers is funny.
In other to play Nacho as a false 9, we need a regista like Mikel, a good ball carrier like Iwobi/Eze and additional creativity on the flanks.
An example is Alexis when he played as a false 9 for Arsenal. Walcott played on the right and Iwobi on the left. Alexis would drop either drop deep or drift to flanks while Walcott runs in behind and Iwobi drifts to the middle when Ozil drifts to the left and right when Walcott makes those runs.
In order to have this kind of fluidity upfront, you can not be playing with two destroyers like Rohr does.

Earthquake1:
Samuel Kalu and Onyekuru has made me non-chalant about Ademola Lookman

He can switch to wherever he wants

Adenoma Lookman has the attributes to be a good CF. I wouldn't mind trying him out there.
Now a Onyekuru/Musa - Lookman - Kalu front 3 would be beyond exciting. Add a midfield 3 of Ndidi - Mikel and Iwobi/Eze and we can talk.

Humility017:
we don't even need to have the duo on the pitch...
musa playing 9 in that match...far better than all Ighalo did yesterday.

since we're comfortable having him as our African Giroud so be it.

me already feed up with him....gradually watching rohr the old man don't wanna change...

The time to phase out Ighalo will come. For now, we have to make do with him like that.
Good thing is we have young up and coming creative players like Ebere Eze, etc. We add more creativity to the team and a physical striker would be our plan B instead.

Joebie:
Success played as a striker in his last competitive game though. Musa was more influential as a CF when he was at CSKA Moscow.

Modified
Danjuma, Ojo, and Lookman — Taken note

Musa was good as a CF in a 2...not as a lone striker. He can do a job

Humility017:
the problem was Ighalo being that match for 90 mins..
when other players would have been tried in the 9 role....why not take musa there and bring in Henry...?

Yeah playing Musa as a 9 wouldn't be a bad idea provided we have both Mikel and Iwobi in the starting 11.

EEGA:
They say Rohr is conservative, but seeing him start a new invitee(Kalu) ahead of Onyekuru makes me think otherwise.

We all know Onyekuru is competing with Musa for a place.
Rohr was never going to start both Musa and Onyekuru as wingers

forgiveness:
I don't know where people got that information that Isaac Success is a striker. Far from it.

In the last matches, he played in the La Liga this season, he played Isaac Success played as a RW. See the date below.

Rohr also played as a RW when he played for SE though he can play on the left too.

Isaac Success dey miss goals ooo.

Danjuma is not a RW. He is a LW.

RW; Kalu, Bazee, Isaac, Iwobi and Sheyi Ojo.

LW; Ahmed, Simon, Onyekuru, Danjuma and Lookman.

For the striker position, I will wait till the middle of the season.

Think people are basing it on his U17 and early Granada days.
The guy is an exciting player no doubt, but anyone expecting a clinical finisher is in for a surprise. He's not Nacho level type finisher.

AIG07:
most people called for my head and thought those who hold the notion that we are heading no where with the man at the helms are ungrateful.

With Rohr, We may qualify for next year AFCON and go on to win it. But I don't see him assemble a team that can match the best in the world. I saw Kenya play Ghana today and I was like are these the same teams we might likely face in Cameroon next year? Then we haven't even started preparation.

I just pray we qualify.

Lybia are not taking it too lightly. SA too won't want to miss out.

Dude has to be more flexible. I appreciate his man management skills no doubt, but his conservative nature is soo annoying.

forgiveness:
Nobi hype, abeg. The boy is good.

Lol na Rohr I dey talk about...

forgiveness:
I think he sees him as a DM but as you said we can try him out in CB position. Afterall, Rohr took Ogu to the world cup as CB.

I'd pick him over Ogu as a CB.

AIG07:
Henry showed confidence in the few minutes he spend on the pitch. Just like Ebuehi did.

With Rohr, we might not see the best eagles lineup.

His hyper conservative nature will be our undoing

forgiveness:
In a sane society, player like Semi Ajayi no go smell national team ahead of Uche Agbo. How it happened, na em I no know.

In Gent, Kalu takes set pieces if Simon is not playing but Simon played more games than Kalu.

The question is does Rohr see Uche Agbo as a CB or DM? Personally I think we should try him out as a CB.

BascoVanVeli:
I think he is ahead of them as of now at least going by the fact that he has had a start and they haven't. I feel bad for Henry because it is getting clearer that Rohr just doesn't fancy him.

It's clear Rohr sees him as an alternative to Ahmed Musa.

ChrisKels:
So why didnt he drop any of these two to make a like for like repp with Kalu for Simon? After all, those two went to Russia for sight-seeing, abi dem do anything meaningful? Our game against Argentina and Croatia needed a Simon or Kalu to stretch their full backs, but no we couldn't do that because the blind bat left the personnel for that at home.

Rohr should be sacked biko

We all said the same thing here but Rohr did what he wanted anyways.
He relied on our fullbacks and barely played the best one attacking wise (why bring Simy if we don't have good crossers?)

ChrisKels:
Who would have dropped for Moses Simon if he didnt cop that last minute injury? Give me a simple and straight answer please.

Joel Obi or at worse Simy.

Links to the game?? I thought it was 9am

charlesemeka85:
also i doubt rohr benching the new left back for idowu. a match of this nature is the best platform to test a player like jamilu collins who is new to the team

We all know Rohr is as conservative as they come. I mean provided he isn't playing a 3-5-2, I don't understand why he'd play Awaziem as a RB instead of Idowu and try out Jamilu at LB.
