Pinnick was actually responsible for Musa and Ighalo invitations. He forced Rohr to select Musa! Apologies Mr Rohr! He practically wanted Equaveon to start Musa and Ighalo against Ghana. This man is an ass...! No wonder Equaveon brought Musa on in the 2nd half of both games. Wow!
drDoom3: We did lose a World cup slot to them. Whether we lost by 10-0 or by away goals, it doesn't matter.
Football is a game and nothing is guaranteed even with the best players in your team. Disrespecting the players shows how low life such an individual is! Not everyone will be at the world cup. Only 5 out of 54 is going. The boys did their best unfortunately a goalkeeping howler, injuries and VAR denied them. There are many more World cups to come. Let the boys rest! Abeg!
Which team in Africa has the quality of our midfielders man to man? Bonke, Ndidi, and Onyeka got injured. Iwobi suspended! Etebo haven't played 90 minutes in a year. Yet we only lost on away goal rule. Tell me a country that can survive that number of injured midfielders. We have quality players playing in some of the best league in the world. If you say our players are average then no country in Africa has good players!
fabyom: Yaw and Bukari are very solid wingers! Kudus, Partey and Issiaku are solid midfielders. Going all out attack or playing one DM will be catastrophic! The Ghanaians players are good and skillful too. It's just that we have a better bench. Our first team is not that far apart. Don't expect an easy game in Kumasi. Infact a scoring draw will be a very good result. I don't really trust our defense and goalkeepers!
Omanambala: Stop saying these. Just because you are not in the level of Somalia doesn't mean the country has not failed.... Psychologically it has failed. Bloodshed everywhere....people were being butchered but all Buhari care about is his kimsmen....his appointments shows he is ethnically bias. He was supposed to be a father to the nation but he divided it more with inflammatory speeches calling a major ethnic group a dot in a circle...
E no go better for all the eidiots that forced this man on Nigeria....they will never see good!
Sack Rohr! Amuneke "Africa Pep". Never again will an indigenous coach will ever be appointed! I can't breathe! Played Shehu in DM. Brought Musa in when we needed a goal? Smh!
Icon4s: Never have I seen a team that couldn't win a home game but make the loudest boast while visiting the opponent.
It really shows how delusional these people can be.
I remember in 1993 when Nigeria was to play Ghana in the final of the FIFA U17 WC, a Ghanaian man in Lagos then was saying "if Nigeria beats Ghana he would drink acid". In a tournament which we were favorite to win.
That Ghana team was very good but our team was full of exceptional talent (Ojigwe, my boy Anosike, Kanu, Oruma etc). It was a close game. I think Ghana beat Brazil in the semis!
The light was being tested in readiness for today's game. The Ghanaians were already done with their training, it was during their jyration time and they should have left the pitch during that period. Nevertheless, the light went off and on for less than 3/5 minutes.
benji93: Stick to your standard of passing. According to your standard of passing they didn't, because the passing didn't continue for long before they lost it. Not good. I am not sure I can follow a fruitless possessive play. Besides, they outnumbered us in the midfield through the first half, so it wasn't unexpected that they did better to keep the ball in the midfield. Besides our players actually were better and more confident with their passing through the midfield and then to the flanks when Eguaveon changed the midfield shape. So on be say we too no dey pass. Unfortunately, your expectations are rather too high.
You say they should teach them the basics of this philosophy? How often does this team meet? They mostly play for their respective clubs which have their own philosophies. So that for these philosophies their reaction becomes instinctual. It won't be easy ramming a different philosophy into them in a week. You may practice within this new philosophy, in fact, you may even do well in training, as far as that philosophy is concerned, but if you are not constantly exposed to that philosophy over a long period of time, you would almost certainly get stuck in your practice of that philosophy. You pass pass pass, then an opposing strategy you probably have faced sets in, and you just crawl back, as in oh wait 'Out training did not cover this one.
It's easy to implement on paper, but incredibly hard in practice. But you know what, I know the passing philosophy to you is the most valuable and it's ok.
But I agree with that part though. We do make excuses. Then maybe you can accept that your expectations may be too high sometimes. . Can we agree on that?
We have all the needed tools on that bench! Give me this team, and I might win the world cup! I am not kidding. There are many ways to set up this team but he selected the one that every Goddamn human knows its antidote. Who does that?
Philosopher1979: I bet you Austin will repeat his mistakes on Tuesday. We have a coaching problem. He should try and invite natural midfieldets to the team but after this qualifiers he won't. Maybe it is a spiritual problem. Our coaches love ignoring out midfield
benji93: Is there anything a local coach does that's not amateurish? Can they ever do anything right? Even Keshi was amateurish too, even though he actually won. I am still waiting for a coach that would do better than that man.
Austin's stubbornness to stick with Nacho in that role might cost us the world cup. This is not club football, it is international football for Christ's sake.
Your midfielders must be able to fight for every damn ball.
Etebo, Bonke/Onyeka, and Aribo should be the ones starting in that midfield triangle.
Two DMs will allow your wing backs to overlap to support your wingers without affecting the shape of the team. Football 101.
Trying to play like Pep was what cost Lampard the Chelsea job. One DM is a risky venture unless you have a great ball carrier like Kevin De Bruyne.
Yaw and Bukari are very solid wingers! Kudus, Partey and Issiaku are solid midfielders. Going all out attack or playing one DM will be catastrophic! The Ghanaians players are good and skillful too. It's just that we have a better bench. Our first team is not that far apart. Don't expect an easy game in Kumasi. Infact a scoring draw will be a very good result. I don't really trust our defense and goalkeepers!
Because he scored two goals in Serie A we should now wet our pants
Na wow o
He is strong and fast and with Kudus behind him Ekong and Balogun will struggle without Ndidi. I have watched him play several times, the guy is made for African football. His quality is unquestionable.
Ndidi must be fit else there's no way we gonna win with that midfield. The return of Kudus and Afena Gyan in attack might be a game changer for Ghana. Ndidi playing is the key to our qualification! Believe it or not.
