Ideye behind any striker always remind me of Samson Siasia.

Siasia always brought the best in any top 9 ahead of him.Siasia gave Monday Odiaka the name and was instrumental to early rise of Yekini.

Ideye should have been a perfect replacement but really surprised he was left out by keshi after solid performance with Emenike and with his performance with Iheanacho, Rohr still don't rate him.

We just need to move on with the young ones coming up and hope Rohr get good rhythm for the team
Rohr will never change. I can't wait to see how we play against SA.

God bless you Sir.Pls go and watch Zambia/Nigeria in Ndola and see Ideye and Iheanacho combinations but really surprised to see Ideye shut out of national team.
Ideye is a better target man than Ighalo. Infact both can play together.

Something similar also happened a few years ago with Nigeria. When we played Ideye and Emenike together they were unstoppable! But people complained about Ideye's lack of goals. The resulting pressure from the fans and media I believe led to Keshi dropping Ideye, and subsequently Emenike's goals dried up. AND NO ONE SAW THE LINK between Ideye's absence and Emenike's goal drought so we the knowledgeable fans proceeded to hound Emenike until he quit the team. We single handedly destroyed our AFCON winning strike force.

Clever aren't we?
I agree. Ideye was a very important player for us and it was unfortunate he got dropped.
I'm a fan of Ighalo when he's on form. He's mobile, skillful and has great off the ball movement.
To be honest, he's never been much of a target man. At Watford, Deeney was the target man.
Fact is he just didn't do well at the WC and the friendlies. The second chance he missed was simply inexcusable especially for a guy like him. Everyone misses once in a while but that was just crazy.

edi baba Giroud play tire me for WC o.
Loool yeah I'm surprised he didn't score at all. Though he didn't have Thomas Lemar and Dembele to put in crosses for him. It was all about Griezmann and Mbappe.
Nothing eye catching for him

I don't know what would have happened had Rohr started Musa and Iwobi together against Argentina?
We'll never know. It probably would've worked out. Plus Iwobi is better on the ball than Nacho and would've relished playing central

That's an assumption in bold proven to be not true.
Iheanacho is the best finisher we have. Unfortunately that seems to be the only thing he offers presently. His goals for Leicester shows this

Name one ball that Giroud brought down on his chest and passed to his player? Dembele is not a striker so that was just an experiment.
Actually it was Grez that played as a 9. Go watch the game against Belgium again and see why Giroud is important. Did a lot of work off the ball. Something Ighalo did not offer at the WC enough

Rohr started getting it wrong in the Argentina game from the personnel he started the game with. Starting Iheanacho was a tactical suicide because the decision cost him valuable substitution slot, having reduced his subs to just 2 by bringing Ighalo on to rectify the error.

If Ighalo had started, Rohr would have had more tactical flexibility and the affirmation to sub him off in the 2nd half for a defensive midfielder to sure up the game. The reason Rohr was cut in a no man's land to bring on subs who will close the game out, was because he couldn't sub Ighalo out who was a sub himself. This was the reason he was helpless at the dugout, knowing Ighalo was one of his biggest players.
To be honest, I was never really convinced by that Iheanacho - Musa pairing. I felt Ighalo would compliment either one better it was just a choice of either picking Musa's searing pace or Iheanacho's clinical finishing. What helped us at the second half against Iceland was Etebo and Musa having a stormer. Nacho wasn't that great except for his set pieces.
Only way we play Nacho is with a target man or part of a fluid front 4

Compared to Ighalo Giroud was piss poor. Never completed a hold up play just heading balls to nowhere in particular. Not a single shot on target says a l.
Giroud's hold up play was better than Ighalo. There's a reason Deschamps scrapped the Dembele - Griezmann - Mbappe front 3. Griezmann plays well when Giroud starts

I don't think a lot of them can even play football let alone know what they are talking about. They can say what they want but the template has been set in gold, Giroud is a world champion with 0 shots on target in 6 matches. Even Gabriel Jesus did not receive half of the flack Ighalo got and he had miss after miss no goals in 5 matches.
I just don't feel real fans should act like that because the players are human like us they can also make mistakes. I am just happy that the guy didn't allow all that rubbish to destroy his confidence. Who would want to play on a team that mistakes are not allowed? Nigeria is not Brazil or Germany!! We have no right to even think about asking for perfection.
Giroud plays much better for France than Ighalo can ever dream of for us.
There's a reason why Deschamps brought him back to the lineup sharpish. I like Ighalo but he messed up at the WC and the friendlies.
Giroud gets criticized as well (probably even more as he's Benzema's replacement) but he just moves on with it.

He is currently their best young player this season. I heard he is left footed and a winger when he played for our U20 team this year.

I see those guys as French. They were nurtured by the French nation.

Ndidi Enters Arsenal’s Radar

By Editor - July 14, 2018

Leicester City of England midfielder, Wilfred Onyinyen Ndidi could become the next Nigerian player to start for Arsenal of England, as The Gunners are said to be in the hunt for his signature.

Following two sterling seasons with The Foxes, Ndidi has caught rapt attention from far and wide, with latest hints now emerging that he could be on the way to joining fellow-Super Eagles star, lex Iwobi at Emirates Stadium this summer.

The Arsenal link comes at a point Ndidi has not been included in the equation at Leicester, who are reportedly ready to hand Jamie Vardy and Harry Maguire new contracts.

Without any mention of reward for Ndidi’s superlative form, The Foxes will offer new big money deals to World Cup stars Maguire and Vardy when they return from Russia.

The England pair are due back next week and Foxes bosses are keen to keep hold of both players.

Leicester want to put Maguire on around £80,000-a-week and Vardy on £120,000 a week as boss Claude Puel aims to strengthen his squad after Riyad Mahrez’s £60million move to Manchester City.

Manchester United are the latest club to show an interest in defender Maguire, who has starred at the World Cup under Gareth Southgate.

However, a top official at King Poweer Stadium insists Ndidi has not been left out of the picture, with a declaration that Leicester are set to try and secure the youngster’s long-term future by rewarding him with a pay rise.

Leicester will be buoyed by Ndidi’s comments that he is happy with where he is and denied that he is contemplating a move elsewhere.

“A transfer has never been on my mind, I feel very good at Leicester,” said Ndidi, whose 15 tackles during the Super Eagles’ three matches at Russia 2018 World Cup are still the joint-second overall at the tournament.
