30k is not feasible much less 56k. Need to stop living in lala land. Nigeria can not afford to increase minimum wage at the moment

Iwobi needs to work on his finishing. Should've scored today.

Take away Simon Kalika, Siasia will be exposed as a mediocre tactician.

About time someone mentioned this.

What if Rohr is talking about Kelvin Akpoguma instead of Felix Uduokhai?

Naija bloggers and their lame titles. WTH is "sexy US Groupie"?? I won't bother going to the blog because I know the so called x-rated vid is probably one of her instagram posts on bikini or something.

Mickael2:
Agu's deficiencies were not because he was nervous, naturally he is just like busquets, play Busquets higher up the pitch to win the balls and you will see that that isn't what he is made for. Agu playing higher up the pitch exposed him to the part of the game that was fast paced and that was why he was fouling everybody left, right and center. Agu's passing isn't poor, I can argue that it is almost on par with that of Ndidi, but Agu's ball winning skills higher up the pitch is nowhere close to Ndidi's but somehow the coach subbed in Agu to play a position meant perfectly for Ndidi while Ndidi was in a position meant specifically for Agu

Agu is aggressive and quite mobile. I don't think he's busquets type of slow. He was really nervous. Second half his tackling got better and he covered for our fullbacks well. This sub is no different from the Esiti sub Rohr made against Zambia in the first leg.

Mickael2:
a 4-2-3-1 means a double pivot, not a double DMF. Just like you see Chelsea playing a 3-4-3 with Cesc and Kante, they are not two DMFs. Better example.....in the world cup when Germany used to play a 4-2-3-1 with Khedira as one of the DMF, ofcourse he was never a DMF rather a CMF, just because it is called a dual-pivot system does not mean there are two DMFs, Onazi was playing as the CMF before he got subbed.



I am not making assumptions mind you, Agu came in and went straight to the CMF role meaning that was where the coach told him to go to except you mean that Agu did not know what the coach asked him to do? Agu is known to everybody and his dog as a DMF but the coach subbed him in as the CMF does that not mean the coach thought he could play the CMF role? How is that my own assumption? And about the Mikel issue, I said I wouldn't be suprised, I never said it is the fact.



Finally how Iwobi is a tactical switch to you sure beats me. Ok after Iwobi came on, did our play change from the regular 'get the ball to the wings' strategy? You make a tactical sub when you want to switch plans to a Plan B, after Iwobi came on we were still using that plan A, just that Iwobi was there and not Moses Simon

Could it be that Rohr put on Agu to win the ball high up the pitch and let Ndidi who is slightly the better passer play deep and then decided to switch things up as Agu was clearly nervous?? No way Rohr who watches these guys train wouldn't know what they are capable of

Don't do drugs...

German-Nigerian Ace
Sarenren Bazee Pushing
To Be Fit For Eagles Debut
Against Algeria

https://i2.wp.com/owngoalnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/IMG_3710.jpg

Hannover 96 German-Nigerian forward Joel
Noah Sarenren Bazee is back in training after
missing the last two months due to an injury
picked up during one of their pre season games.

Bazee has had a running battle with injuries the
last 18 months, and same demon reappeared
during Hannover 96 4-1 pre season win over
Germania Egestorf-Langreder.

He limped out of the pre season tie in the 71st
minutes and test conducted by the club later
confirmed he will be out for at least three
months with a ruptured tendon.

The injury has so far kept him out of this
season games for the newly promoted
Bundesliga side, but he is now on the way to
regaining full fitness and possible a debut for
Nigeria.

Owngoalnigeria.com checks on the team
training session can reveal that the 22 year old
took part in light training on Tuesday and
Wednesday as he continue to work his way to
full fitness.

Known for his explosive pace and abilities to
trade good passes, he trained alongside the
team physiotherapist and didn’t show any sign
of discomfort during the session.

Huge fan of this guy after watching a few clips of him. If he can get a run of games from now till the end of the season, I can bet on him being an outsider to make the final 23. His inexperience will be a major sticking point

safarigirl:
it's like you guys on this thread either don't rate Cyril Dessers or you just don't like him.

How can you even put Tammy that is still tied to England on your list, but no Dessers that is happily unattached?

Is it because the Press is not shouting about him up and down? Is it because he's not in EPL and so, he doesn't seem as attractive as the English boy? I get that some of you are fully influenced by what you read, which is actually not a very good thing, but come on!

Somebody please, explain to me why all of you are pro-Tammy, but are all acting like Dessers does not exist?

I feel really bad for the guy the way you people simply refuse to see him

I think people are mindful of the fact that he plays in the eredivisie and aren't sure if he can translate his form on a more competitive level. I like the looks of him sha.

Kog45:
Honestly i thought 75% of the present squad w make it but am thinking otherwise now.

In our last match we have Iwobi, Aina,Iheanacho, Musa,Agu,Awaziem, Etebo, Akpeyi, Ajiboye, Agu,Agbo,Nwakaeme on d bench,out of these i w pick Iwobi,Iheanacho, Aina, with first eleven meaning we are having 14 likely players to d WC,9 slots still for available for any players who can prove himself.Pls my opinion o

My 14 players

1.Mikel Obi capt

2Ogenyi Onazj asst capt

3.Victor Moses

4.Elderson Echiejele

5.Leon Balogun

6.Ekong Troost

7Winifred Ndidi

8.Alex Iwobi

9.Odion Ighalo

10.Shehu Abdullahi

11.Kelechi Iheanacho

12.Simeon Moses

13.Ike Ezenwa

14.Ola Aina.

The remaining 9 slots are for grab with these 19 players and any Nigerian born players home or abroad.

1.Ahmed Musa must show he is still d same player of 2014 WC and only way out he must change club by Jan or else is out of d team 70/30

2.Awaziem must show he is ready for national team, South Africa match still a reference point,though he is having a good run in his club,likely to make it 70/30

3.Mikel Agu not yet convincing but Rohr believe in him,had a very difficult match against Zambia 70/30

4.Oge Etebo a good midfielder but since South Africa match he is finding it difficult to have a look at by Rohr 70/30

5.John Ogu a very experience midfielder who always in d team but finding it difficult to break into XI. 50/50

6.Uche Agbo a versatile player who can play CB or DMF but not yet not yet tested but surprisedly always making d team 50/50

7.Daniel Akpeyi trusted in d absence of Ikeme but lost his position to Ezenwa due to injury still receiving d knock for his below performance against South Africa 80/20

8.Nwakaeme a surprised call prior to Cameroon and he has been with d team since,a good striker but still await his debut 40/60

9.Dele Ajiboye one of d best keeper in d NPFL league.A deputy to Ezenwa during WAFU Cup,kept against Guinea with calmness and played d ball on d ground with his defender,with lack of availability of world class keeper in d team,he can pull a surprise 30/70

10.Dele Alampasu a young and promising keeper, he has always be with d team but was put on standby against Zambia,normally with sentiment he suppose to be on d train to WC coz he is for d future depends on Rohr choice. 40/60

11.Brown Ideye a forgotten player he was part of d starter and had a good match against Zambia but still looking for another call up since Algeria match. 30/70

12.Kenneth Omeruo one of d most experience defender in d team,he started d campaign with d team but not yet forgiven for his holla against Zambia, hope he rediscover his form,still very much rated by Rohr 60/40

13.Anderson Esiti a powerful midfielder who came in as 2nd half substitute against Zambia in Lusaka but not getting call again since Algeria match. 30/70

14.Ebuhei a young and promising player who need to pledged his allegiance to Nigeria instead of Holland, still waiting for his debut game but still in Rohr plan. 50/50

15.Kayode Olarewaju a very good striker who won d best Austria player of d year before signing for man city and loaned to Girona.He had a comeo appearance against South Africa,hope he get another call 30/70



16.Vincent Enyeama a reputable keeper who has seen it all,highly rated by Nigerians,also highly rated by Rohr.No doubt we lack highly rated keeper and everybody see Enyeama as d solution.The major concern is Enyeama form,just coming back from injury and presently no club..Hope he fix this by January so that he can be available for selection. 50/50

17.Aron Samuel got a surprised call against Cameroon and replaced injured Iwobi in d squad but later dropped from d squad but base on form he shouldn't be near national team, likely Rohr see something good in him 30/70

18.Tammy Abraham a young and prolific striker,highly rated by England and also wanted by Nigeria.Hope things sort itself out in coming months 50/50

19.Nosa Igiebor I know a lot have forgotten him but he was part of early campaigner under Rohr but fizzled out and made a statement that he cannot be a training material. I don't think anybody even Rohr himself remember him. 10/90

Special tribute to CARL IKEME.He made it possible for our qualification,he keep us in d race,anytime i looked back,his performance against Zambia always make me happy, he dived,punched, saved us from defeat, hope everyone remember that goal line saved.This great guy made us to forget Enyeama coz he came into d team as a world class keeper,settling down without issue

When we taught we have seen a capable replacement and real time to see d best of him,sickness came,still on d sick bed looking strong and with strong belief that he w survive it IJN

Carl Ikeme still remain part of d team,d wish of every Nigerian is for u to be part of d team and so shall it be coz u are a warrior and all Nigerians hold u highly for this great qualifications.

Thanks CARL IKEME, guys here wish u quick recovery.

Forget Tammy. He's gone. I'd say Onyekuru and Dessers are 40/60. Joel Obi will be considered before Nosa who has gone to the MLS

Mujtahida:
Goodjoe isn't it better Iwobi plays for us through the middle as an AM? He is too intelligent for us to play him from the wings. With Mikel and Onazi/Ndidi behind him that guy can make a beast out of your Nacho (although I still insist he's no CF as such)

He's our source of creativity outwide. He can drift infield whenever Mikel has to drop deep to build play.

BascoVanVeli:
Doesn't seem so hefty though.

Naija journos sabi exaggerate.

I hate this woman with a passion.

This is why I will NEVER support an El Rufai presidency despite his obvious qualities. Only bigotry can make a smart man like this say dumb ish. Nigeria is doomed...

Mickael2:
this is how you all blow things out of proportion. I was merely pointing out that Low and Klinsman are all tactically astute german managers unlike Rohr.


Also do you think the german team established a bonafide second eleven by playing the same team over and over again? I mean you don't change a winning team right?

Klinsmann isn't THAT tactically astute. If anything, I'd say he's equal to Rohr or SLIGHTLY better. Klinsmann just plays structured attacking football.

Mujtahida:
It is oo. Don't mind owngoalnigeria.com making it sound official. I seriously don't see that guy playing for us. As for that Dessers I have watched his videos, he's quick, uses both legs and good in the air too but I don't know if he would be able to cut it at a higher level. But he's a more viable option for us than Tammy.

Yeah I like Dessers too. He plays like a south American striker. I hope Rohr calls him up against Algeria.
Mumu owngoalnigeria don't know they're making things worse with these dumb articles.

chrisooblog:
bros on the bolded westerhof struggled against this same zambia you are using as a yardstick. remember the 1994 AFCON? what makes your argument worse is that the particular zambian team was a hurriedly assembled one for that matter. i also remember reading one interview of late stephen keshi where he said clemens wasn't the greatest tactically and he should know better since he played under him.

now regarding rohr's tactically ability i would still give him 60% his use of subs have been here and there. his use mikel agu in place of ogu and etebo puzzled me personally. overall though its been a long time i've seen the super eagles play with such intensity and cutting edge. iwobi's goal is a case in point how many times have you seen nigeria score such a goal after an unbroken sequence of passes? to do it in such a high pressure match is even more impressive. based on the quality of players available to him i think rohr has really gotten the best out of them

The Mikel Agu sub isn't that bad. Mikel Agu was simply nervous but managed to recover afterwards. Etebo wouldn't have been able to replicate Onazi ball winning abilities upfront(which Ndidi sort of did) while Ogu's lack of mobility might have been an issue if he played deep.

Rohr isn't a tactical mastermind like a Pep, but he knows how to set up his team properly into a solid unit. Personally I think the game where he really goofed was the SA game. He got 95 percent of everything wrong.
The Mikel Agu sub against Zambia wasn't as stupid as we think...all Rohr did was push Ndidi to Onazi position to win the ball high up front while leaving Agu to mop things up in front of the defence. Unlike the SA game, we had Leon who could bring the ball out of defence and Agu dropping back to cover him and or fullbacks when they bombed forward.
Anyways, one thing is for certain - if Rohr stays for 4 - 5 years, he'll definitely leave a very solid foundation behind for us like Westerhof did.

These rumors of Tammy making a u-turn, is it based on him liking his Iwobi instagram post or what? Because if it is, then it's ridiculous. Nothing's changed with Tammy. He is not playing for Nigeria. Time to move on.

Nuhu Ribadu and maybe the Governor of Gombe are my picks if we are to stick to this ridiculous zoning agreement. I'd never ever vote for El Rufai and Atiku(even with his sweet mouth). SLS in my opinion is the best presidential material in the north...shame he chose to be emir.

What an slowpoke. How is this going to ease tensions?? People like this should be shot dead in their sleep. Too many morons like him are the reason why naija is bleeped

These guys are overdoing it now. You don't have to like Trump, but please respect him as the president of America. Shit like this is what will definitely make him win a second term. The insults are getting too much! Then again, his supporters did the same to Obama and called it "free speech" so I shouldn't be feeling sorry for the guy. Karma is a bitch.

Anything to generate traffic...

Harrynight:
and u think he was actually decleared winner of the election based on vote?

He rigged the election?? Proof please...

what a clown!! These trannies no get joy at all. Getting more and more difficult to identify them. See wetin dem do Bobby V the other time

Glory?? What glory are you talking about?? Yes Buhari is useless, but let's not act like his predecessors were the greatest leaders ever. Besides, isn't it the same "glorious" people of Nigeria that voted him in power?? Did he stage a coup or force anyone to vote for him??

BascoVanVeli:
He who has no sin cast the first stone. I am sure that if we all got to see ourselves at 21 there would be a few embarrassing details. Now imagine adding 30k a week to that and we have recipe for disaster. Lets not forget that this boy does not have a known father figure in his life. Losing Ighalo really set him back because he doesn't have a mentor @ Watford any more IMO.

True but rumors of this behavior have been following him even when he was at Granada. It's frustrating to see him behave like this because dude is super talented. This his "I've arrived" mentality is bullshit...getting player of the year for Granada is no excuse to be pig headed.

Let's leave the boy alone. 4 his mind he has arrived

Ignorant fool. He should be thinking of how to get back on track instead of this mumu behavior

I wonder if Ghana will still go ahead with their appeal after Egypt's win...it's totally pointless now. A replay will only give Uganda more impetus to win and drag this to the last day

junnyjake:
Forget what you read here about Agbo being a terrible footballer.

Remember Mikel's early days in Chelsea?? How many times he gets sent off for reckless challenges?

Dude is rash, but I believe he can improve.

I won't play him at CB though, I lived watching him play 4 at Granada.

Yep. Dude is much better than given credit for. He wouldn't be bad as a CB provided he has a calming influence in front of him as DM. Omeruo is still good but he needs to wake up. Leaving him out for a few games might just be the wakeup call he needs
