Lol. thank God you referred to the big games in the past tense.... the present tense of Onazi is his game Vs England. The present tense of Joel Obi is the Congo game.

Players do have bad games and you can't judge them by just that.

Forget, they could have done something.

Abi, why we carry dem go world cup.

Anyway, I hope Rohr has learnt his lessons if he wants to stay.

I somehow changed my mind Rohr stays until after the outcome of our qualifiers and AFCON.

daveP:
Yeah, the timing is the most painful. Do these guys even reason like they Rep 200milllion peeps atall? lol

Those boys tried abeg but the coach let them down. E for don make changes long ago.

daveP:
There was no one else na. Abi na Onazi you want make e enter confuse Etebo and Mikel?

Of course, I will remove Etebo and Mikel for Joel Obi and Onazi.

Both are very good at tackling and they have played in big matches. There experience could have brought something to the team.

daveP:
This is the First World cup that I don't feel any connection after naija crash out. before I fit fast, bad mood for a week. I just seem relaxed, normal. Maybe cps I've set my psyche prior to damage.

If I say e no pain me, na lie ooooooo.

With just 5 minutes to go, haba!

NNa to waste time sure pass with substitutions and dancing palongo on the ground.

daveP:
Iwobi for Mikel. even if it's to just advice him to defend instead, he could do it well. Urrgh.

A defensive midfield would have been better. Since we only needed a draw and the time left was just 10 minutes left.

daveP:
I'm shocked at Mikel playing 90Mins too.


But Who knows just why that stupid decision held.

It was obvious that Mikel and Etebo did not have the legs to run again. The Argentina coach saw it and decided to add steam to pressure our wings.

GloryIsaac:
As simple as it is, these guys made it look like Rocket science...

Honestly, so sad.

daveP:
It's just kinda obligatory to heap the blame on the coach, but in this case I won't watch and see anybody so that right here.


Ighalo is very much the scapegoat.

Ighalo should be blamed but the coach should not be spared either.

This match pain me die.

GloryIsaac:
Salute What?

It was just one job - Don't Lose.

In a time of crisis for Argentina, these chickens were still giving useless respect to those S.americans who don't deserve it.

Ighalo and Iheanscho showing their level of uselessness..

Simple delay tactics, they couldn't do it... See the way Argentina murdered the remaining time after scoring.

Honestly, I couldn't understand why we no waste time with substitutes and feigning injury at the slightest touch.

otokx:
Meanwhile we don't have average players, we have the "youngest" squad in the tournament yet cannot run and gets tired easily.

That is what substitution is for. To replace tired players but Rohr left them till the end.

raindodger13:
We are lacking in the Striking department. Ighalo isn't it and I'm starting to question Ihenacho, but he's young so I'll give him time. Musa is alright but he's not but he's not someone that would make you tremble.

We are not lacking in the striker department.

komekn:
We didn't take our chances and that includes two by Ighalo.

Forget the hand ball by Rojo if Ighalo has scored would we be saying handball.

That open goal that Ighalo missed is unforgivable.

It was unbelieveable Ighalo messed up that chance.

do4luv14:
Y not hop on the plane to Russia and give him a groundnut on his head

Bros forget, Ighalo messed up big time.

I think this is his last match for Nigeria.

daveP:
Lol




Imagine a Rojo wey no get balls, come dey Throway us for world cup? very annoying. Ighalo wanted to do just what Messi did tonight, I.e get his first goal in Russia!! Imagine if he just passed.


I didn't want to blame him, but in the long run, I'll have to. If he buried those two deliveries, the Argies would be more pressured to committing errors and we would just have defended. But Why didn't Rohr also tell his boys to just hold on for 10mins ehn? 10mins only!!!

Ighalo was useless in front of goal. If he buried just one chance, we go qualify.

But after, he missed, Rohr should have brought on a fresh defensive midfield to add steam to the midfield because Etebo and Mikel were too tired but Rohr refused. Maybe he took only first eleven to the world Cup because bench e no wan use.

Humility017:
the coach missed those 2 glaring chances right?

you see why I said you and komekn should stick to scouting...because you both know nothinh about football analysis....

I read here...how you both cluelessly make case for these Ighalo of a player....
and now hope he has proved you both right...?

Ighalo killed the game and not the coach......

Reason beyond the miss.

He should have made changes after that miss. It's simple logic.

Besides, where did I make case for Ighalo?

do4luv14:
Can u imagine, he shud have even bro simy on to help ighalo and keep the argies on their back

Ighalo knows how to position himself but he is a poor finisher.

Today he killed us by missing two good chances.

He could have passed the second one instead of trying to score.

elyte89:
Guys we played very well,d 2strikers failed us tonight


Iheanacho nko,ighalo too couldn't bury his 2chances



We played a good game,and we tried our best,but MESSI NEEDS IT MORE...SIMPLE

The coach killed the game.

daveP:
So there goes the progress that would have given Nigeria a big distraction from the political brouhaha.

80billion wasted on hotelling

3points only

3goals scored
4goals conceeded
4years wasted
200million people disappointed.

Why carry Joel Obi if he wasn't going to kick ball atall?

Same for Onazi? seems every world cup, we carry 5useless players along.


Qatar 2022 is now the song the swan is singing. All African teams should just come back home. They've got no balls atall. The best of the worst even just made things worse.

I hand over to you Ighalo, the bashers and dissecters. Do as you wish to do with him.

Very annoying.

Modifypost.

Rohr made it looks like that.

goldfish80:
What was Rohr saving his substitutions for?

To warm bench of course.

With 5 minutes to go, we should have brought in Onazi and Joel for Mikel and Joel. Even use that to waste time.

Very annoying guy.

Rohr should have brought on Joel Obi to add steam to the midfield and most especially cover for Idowu.

The boy was just left with two players to defend.

It was so obvious that wing was thrown wide open because Ahmed done tire.

But the bobo dey bring players 3 minutes to the end of the game. Nonsense.

Imagine leaving Mikel and Etebo wey don tire for field.

Rohr should be fired. Simple.

He doesn't trust the players in his team. Only three midfielders played throughout the whole competition.

Ogu dey, Onazi dey, e Joel Obi dey. Waist of space.

It was so obvious our players ran out of gas.

Anyway, my own World cup is over.

Coach na em kill us for this game.

He should have brought in Iwobi and Joel Obi long time ago.. Nonsense

Why do you take players to the world Cup if you can't use them?

mumemma:
We ll need at Ighalo here or we rather do 4-4-2....we giving too much space

Which defender make dem comot?

Uzoho will be great.

Argentina fans full stadium ooo.

I am afraid of our wing backs. Most especially if we play Moses on the wing. I don't know if he will pour his heart playing there.

I also don't think Ebuehi is matured enough to avoid rash tackles in dangerous areas.

Anyway, I don't want us to gamble playing players in roles not too familiar with them or don't like.

Since, Rohr wants us to shot from all angles. I think he should start Iheanacho along with Musa because both can score from outside the box.


This is my formation.


.........................................Uzoho..................................

Moses..... Balogun...... Ekong........Omeruo.......... Brian...

...................... ..Ndidi.................Mikel..............

.Iheanacho.................. Etebo........................ Ahmed......

That is the shape when we defend.


This is the shape when we attack.

...................................Uzoho..........................


..................Balogun......... Ekong.............. Omeruo.....

.... Moses............Ndidi........ Mikel......... Brian/Joel

................................... Etebo............................

.................. Iheanacho................ Ahmed.........



There was something I noticed in matches played during the world cup, most especially between Sweden and Germany. There was a moment the Swedish player raised to the German goalpost before he was tripped in the box. The player stood up and protesed VAR should be used but the referee ignored and waved play on.

I think the reason the referee didn't consult the VAR was because the ball was still in play. It would have been easier to check the VAR if the match was stopped and the Swedish players protest vehemently by insisting on the assistant of the VAR.

I think that moment the player was so sure there was contact before he went down, he should have stopped the match by dramatizing it and still continue to lay on the ground even if the referee waved play on.

That could have given the Swedish players the opportunity to protest and mount pressure on the referee to use the VAR.

That was obviously a penalty and the player involved should know better and take advantage.

The second one is, players eyes must always be on the ball else we are punished the way Spain did to Morocco.

Argentina has done it to us before and they will do it again if given the opportunity.

If anybody has access to the camp, please kindly pass these messages across. Thanks

HARD TO PREDICT OPPONENTS LIKE NIGERIA - ARGENTINA HEAD COACH SAMPAOLI

By Sputnik News Jun 26 2018 5:21AM

ST. PETERSBURG, June 25 (Sputnik) - Argentina head coach Jorge Sampaoli said on Monday that it will be very hard to predict what Nigeria will do tactically in the teams' final World Cup Group D match in St. Petersburg on Tuesday.

Nigeria, who have three points after playing two group-stage matches, are second in Group D, while two-time champions Argentina are bottom of the table and need to win their final group-stage match to keep alive their hopes of reaching the knockout stage.

"Nigeria played in two different styles. In the first half [in the match against Iceland] their play was quite boring but after the break they changed their strategy, started dominating on the pitch and won the match. Such opponents are hard to predict. However, I'm sure that tomorrow will be one of the five matches that will lead us to victory," Sampaoli told journalists.

The 2018 FIFA World Cup kicked off on June 14 and will continue until July 15, with the matches being played in 11 cities across Russia.

Your analysis are always off the point and ridiculous

Give your own superior analyses then.

E bi like truth dey pain una for heart. Ndo!

CLT123:
Etebo was the taker of left side free kicks. None of Iheanacho kicks were close to being a goal but at least his kicks made it to some of our players. Moses kicks them out of the box.

Thanks.
