Hope you know Henry is his own man. Like Vicmo, Henry is a winger who hardly play with the striker. He hardly cross, any space in the box with Defenders, he does it alone. Then defensively if we lose possession, he doesn't have the strength & so does Iwobi. Our second goal against Argentina was possible because kc didn't have the skillset but gifted with an eye for a telepathic pass to pick out Alex. With Henry, he will take them on & they will crowd him out in due course. Most tactical teams will do that to him.

hmmmmmm....you've got some points there.
it then means wit the the 3-5-2 formation.
Henry will.be no relevant...
save for iwobi,nacho,and Ighalo.

jihday:
me think Moses is too important for us to use him as a wingback, he could pair with whoever up top and have the licence to roam, just my thought tho. but I don't think we'll use that formation unless situation calls for it

I won't mind Moses play the wing back role....

should we use the 3-5-2 formation.

how about we try...

iwobi and Henry in the two man attack...
and also give a try to...
Ighalo and nacho combo...in the two man attack.....

I think iwobi and Henry combination gonna be deadly.....
Henry ball control and dribbling skills gonna be disastrous to most teams...

safarigirl:
I agree.

Is he older than Martins? If Martins is good enough even though he is scoring in China, Ogbeche should also be considered.

Club performance should get him an invite to the national team.

I agree wit the bolded.
what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander

Certitude:
That's a class Act... And class is permanent... I love the guy already

Lol...nothing is permanent bro...

nelszx:
The 3-5-2//5-3-2 formation is just a formation we're trying to master not to adopt
Since Rohr took over the team has played 4-4-1-1 formation, 4-3-2-1 formation even 4-3-3 (diamond). So he's experimenting on the 3-5-2/5-3-2 formation so our style can be unpredictable by opponents.
He wants to be like Loëw that has 8 different formations depending on the opponents (the reason why it's difficult to beat them). Cos at every time of the game, the team formation changes and it confuses opposition play.

i thinks I like this....

should we go wit one striker upfront...in the case of 4-4-1-1 perse...I will prefer we go wit ighalo being that he is not only good with his foot but his head also...
he has a reasonable height....that can be an advantage also.

Icon4s:
Even Ogbeche sef!

Chai! Na wa.

oga icon let's be fair wit this team selection.... he gets my nod now ahead of any striker....5 goals in two matches...

if possible we go wit 30 players to Russia

MetalJigsaw:
My brother you are totally wrong.
Maldini and co retired due to old age .
Or are you saying those players are low class or what. Should they be playing football forever or won't they retire?

The saying is right, form us temporary and class is permanent.

then martins is never aging....

reread your write up..... saying that maldini and co retired due to old age....meaning they still have their class intact...can still deliver when called to play football...if possible win the world cup for their country....then why did them retire in the first place?

my brother nothing...absolutely nothing last forever....

ykalhaji:
That Obafemi Martins highlights though, that reminds me why he is called Obagoal... I think Rohr has no choice but to invite him now to camp for some of our next games. His goal scoring instincts and experience is not a bad weapon to have though.

Do you know that almost all Nigeria strikers have similar blazing highlights when coined from YouTube...? even Bartholomew Ogbeche self...

so highlights can be deceptive....

to be honest wit you...if we are going to adopt that 2-5-3 & 2-3-5 formation...

then we will have less need for too many forwards...

Napoleon55:
ONEKURU is the real deal

bless you my brother...it will be suicidal to leave that dude out of the world cup party...
he is a bunch of talent...

Joebie:
Ogbeche again!

I think he should be the one we need to call up to the super eagles and not Martins....

the Dutch league is no beans and should be ahead of the Chinese league

Plolly:
I don't usually comment but guy is it room and parlor self con that u are always posting ehn. Just get a life and act matured. Not hating though

Lol....to folks of this kind they've arrived.

Daejoyoung:
Martins may still have that quality tho. There's no big deal, he would be invited(l believe) and then given the chance to prove himself. There's a saying that form is temporary but class is permanent, so we may never know when it comes to Martins.

who said that...?
if that saying was true...the likes of pirlo,maldini,figo etc...

would have still been playing...
those are just words many use to justify their points...or give reason to their views...

it often does not hold water.

joseph1013:
Onyekuru scores! He's just prolific.

that's my boy...
I have never seen a young African so confident and so much believe in his abilities like this boy....

truly his talent will speak for him....

Daejoyoung:
True that! He is not creative enough.

and the flanks is already congested....

Mujtahida:
How come Martins didn't make Keshi's watery team and there was no outcry. Was he injured then?

my brother...to be honest that's one of the many questions I believe keshi need to answer....

I don't know though if he was injured...
@MLS Martins was blazing hot...
I was among his fan...many a time I will search YouTube just to watch his play...

keshi world cup list made me sick....

safarigirl:
lol...Youtube compilations can make anybody look like Messi

I tell you my dear...
see how they struggle to put up the video just to get some believe the dude is still as good as he was when he was in the MLS...

they think form last forever and players don't grow old....may be they think he is Caleb of the Bible...

Mujtahida:
I wont be surprised if he's dropped. Truth is he's not really been impressive since the Match against Algeria. Some say it's because he ought not to be played as an AM but what then does versatility mean? Against Algeria he was lost. In any case it's up to him to stake a claim for a place in the final 23 cos I believe he would make the initial cut before the pruning down to 23

to be honest...I am more concerned of us taking Henry than him...because etebo only role to fit in will be the flanks...being that he is not creative enough to be our AM....

Edopesin:
really, i thought it was of recent

not at all bro...he left for China like 2 sessions ago.

in quality the MLS is ahead of the Chinese league....if he still in this form...I bet he would have swiftly replicate it in China...

I was among those that wanted crucify keshi for leaving him out of our last world cup party....
Martins, Imoh Ezekiel and osaze were our most outstanding strikers prior that world cup...in Brazil....

Edopesin:
Omo i want martins

mind you that was 2-3 years ago....things might have changed now....

MhizzAJ:
Sam Dede...I love him so much it's been long i saw him in movies

Dear....how are you doing this weekend?

niggi4life:
Stupid girl without a brain.. That was how my friend told me about a girl he was making love to and the girl kept asking the guy if she's still a virgin, the guy kept saying yes yes yes you are still a virgin..
The next day the guy wanted to hammer the girl again and the girl said No that she wants to keep her virginity for her husband.

Sometimes you just wonder how a girl's brain function.

abeg....nor use laugh kill me....
tell the truth....was it real life?

Mickael2:
there is nothing I won't hear. So when Omeruo was playing for the U23's(Chelsea's U23 is way better than Leicester's) it was a very bad thing, but now that Iheanacho is playing for Leicester's U23 they will suddenly win the chinese cup if they register for it? Just read this again and check if it makes sense even to you

you've a problem wit decoding one's write up....
please read my comment again and then reedit your reply.....

I said they will beat Martins team in a match....and not what you writing up there..if they registered for the Chinese league and will win it....

I did say such...Mr.

terzurum5:
Ezenwa has got his fair share of games in the green white green. It's time to give other home based goalkeepers a chance in this coming Chan to see the stuff they are made of.

I am wit you bro....that ajiboye guy of plateau United should be tried.....

Mujtahida:
Since. And its something I don't understand. When we defeated Argentina, we talked about it oooo but he just skimmed over it like nada. I was surprised and then today again when every football fan whose team are WC bound are talking about the draws, talking opposition strengths and weaknesses, chances for qualification to the next round etc he's going on and on with Kc matter.

just overlook his comments....
I can vividly tell you....it saddens some here whenever nacho scores for the super eagles...
you need see how they down play it....as if scoring goals is that easy.....

BascoVanVeli:
This is blackmail :>

Lol...na him talk am nahhh...
he always rate the english championship as the 5th best in the world...
and the epl as among top 2 best...meaning the epl 2... (under 23) is more ranked than many leagues in the world....

so nacho and musa playing there shouldn't be a problem to him....

safarigirl:
I just dey laugh all of them.

that's their cup of tea.....
my dear it is just that our friendly matches gonna expose us to these countries...
I have the feeling we will likely win all our friendly matches....reason why I will want us play tough nations like Germany, Belguim, England and Possibly France an Brazil....
where we can get draws....

komekn:
Actually not just sitting in the bench playing with the U23's.

mind you...that under 23 team will beat your Martins Chinese team silly...
after all Wolfsburg under 23 team beat Mikel's team in pre-season friendly.

and you know from your self claimed permutations....the English championship is even ahead of the budisliga....

safarigirl:
leave them alone.

As if the highly experienced Mascherano was not nutmegged by Iwobi that was probably six years old when he began his career....or Ebuehi did not pocket his uncle Di Maria.

All the experience Italy had, how far did it take them in 2010 and 2014? What did it do for them this year? Experience without results

Dear...you nailed it.

see the way they mulling over an experience of one uncle playing in China.....

safarigirl:
It's a fair group

I personally think Argentina will crash out at the Group Stage this time.

Nigeria and Croatia to go through from this group.

We need to top this group to avoid France and in case we somehow meet them, PLEASE break a French player's leg.

I am with you on this.....
Argentina may likely not scale through...

I see Croatia scaling through....we really need to avoid France because they could beat any Africa team silly...their match could be Brazil, Spain or Germany

soetanoreoluwa:
Largebeer..sorry lars largebark ...i pray o... The man gonna dissect us serious.. He knows our weak point... Coach Rohr and other admins just need to start work earnestly

he is no more the coach of Iceland...he now coach Norway team...

junnyjake:
No

why day no...I will prefer that young boy over the Martins many are crying for here....

Edopesin:
i swear ehn i still they contemplate our chance

you know those European nations they're very technical.
and i can vow wit my last penny we won't beat Argentina again....when next we meet.

so we just have to beat Croatia and Iceland to qualify....
