Coach Rohr has to comply with their recommendations.

Hmm... Ok o.

Manuel Pellegrini is in negotiation with Crystal Palace to become their manager. I hope he gets the job. I see him coming back for his boy NACHO.

BascoVanVeli:
That was the problem in midfield wise guy! We had no creative force in the game hence bringing up(not lamenting) Alhassan. How many inexperienced players did u see? Or are u now calling Iwobi and Iheanacho inexperienced? Why should I leave Rohr when it was all his fault.

jamalchance:
so u are trying to tell me these women are my mate?

BascoVanVeli:
My analysis is that Rohr was too basic in his prosecution of this match. The selection seemed like it was meant to look good on paper. No matter how many reports we get of a player being brilliant in training Rohr never gives the dark horse a chance. My advice to him is to make sure he is doing things the exact way he wants because only him will take the blame if we fail.

IMO not playing Alhassan Ibrahim was huge a mistake.

this is a case of i no want u to go toast mary because i no fit toast her, they dont want him why not let him go? this is what Fela of blessed memory refer to as "CONFUSION BREAK BONE"

TheGoodJoe:

Come on. Amunike saw beyond it but the NFF did not. It is unfair he takes the blame for the callousness of the NFF team. That team deserved better and Nigeria is blessed with a homegrown brilliant tactician like Amunike. We will do ourselves a disfavor if we do not use him and allow quacks run our football.

TheGoodJoe:
I do not know where you got the idea of Amunike's love for money costing the team. We lost after per organization of the game took away our potent strength of playing a beautiful passing possessive game. The pitch was bad and the NFF handlers messed up their bonuses and rewards. Not Amunike's fault.

forgiveness:
Na lie. We need this kind of player against Cameroon.

TheGoodJoe:
Another nice info that has bothered me since the appointment of Coach Rohr. His back room staffs from Nigeria. Most especially Alloy Agu and Salisu Yusuf. Rohr needs a tactician to work with him. Mourinho had Villas-Boas, Benitez had Pako Ayesteran, Rijkaard had Henk Ten Cate, Ancelotti had Paul Clemens etc.

My pick is Emmanuel Amunike because of his modern methods fits the pattern I feel Rohr intends for the team. With ball playing/passing defensive set up (including the defensive midfielder). Amunike actually played under such system and always coaches his team to play that way.

Although Siasia plays a similar brand of football, I am more comfortable with Amunike.

Rohr needed a simple advice. Iheanacho is making the runs when the pass is hit and always ahead of the defenders. We need someone in the hole to give him more accurate passes and we will tear the South Africans apart.

If we are maintaining the same formation, either Etebo or Onazi leaves (preferably Onazi),Etebo takes a deeper role and Iwobi takes the attack midfield position. Musa comes in for Onazi. We would have been stronger with the set up.

This was the first preferred switch I expected.

goldfish80:
Exactly what I've been saying. The fullbacks lack of effort going forward was the bane of our attack. Iwobi had a poor game because of this but the bottom line remains, he had a poor game.

Frankly speaking, people should get off the back of Moses Simon. He was the only attacker who came to the party. His delivery is the weakest aspect of his game, thankfully it is a very tiny glitch that can be improved on (he's just 22). We have a promising player in that guy.

kingphilip:
not as if I'm in support of bringing Ideye back but i think he combines well with a support striker more

If you remember Iheanacho's goal against Zambia and our 2013 AFCON winning his perfect combo with Emineke went a long way to give us that trophy

Hence the reason for my clamor of a 2-striker system where the two understands each other and communicates perfectly well too

forgiveness:
Because Iheanacho knew he was not going to get good pass from the midfield, he decided to stand like tree for one place, ba. Bhuuuhahaha!

Your analyses is not doing the boy any good. You are just compounding the issue and making him look like an arrogant kid who thinks he has finally arrived. We saw his arrogant reactions when he was yanked out.

Oga, Iheanacho will not start the next match because he despised everybody including your humble self.


This is my line up for the next match


................................. Enyeama/Ikeme


...... Aina.......... Ekong....... Balogun........... Echiejile

......................... Agu/Onazi .................. Mikel ........

Victor Moses................Aluko/Iwobi ......... Simon/Etebor


..................................... Ideye

Mickael2:
After watching this match for the 3rd time just now there are a few things I noticed.

1) Whoever says that Ekong was average in this game needs to tell me the match he watched. None of the chances created came through his side of the defence, he literally shut down that side of the defence, nothing and nobody moved there, in fact he was awesome. When you watch that game again without tension or anger you will understand. Awaziem however needs to go back to training school, his clearances from the very first whistle were funny, he was swiping at the ball wildly, and he is no ball-playing CB. He was always afraid to carry the ball more than 20m beyond our box which shows lack of confidence and ball playing abilities.

2) watching Onazi was like a comic release. He was literally everywhere except where he should be. Most times it was as if he was playing as the LB, not that Echejile was out of position, I don't know if I should say that he just wants the glory or he has too much energy to burn. And then when Echejile will go forward thinking that Onazi has him covered, Onazi too will go forward thinking that a supernatural being has him covered as well.

3) Our fullbacks were poor. Where was that Echejile that scored a goal at the 2013 Afcon? The poor showing was exemplified by a particular passage of play in the first half, Iwobi had the ball on the edge of the box with only one defender ahead of him, he held the ball for 5 seconds thinking that Echejile was bombing forward to support him(like any good LB would) and by the time he realized that we had an imposter on the left side another SA player had already returned and a potentially dangerous situation was laid to waste. Shehu I cannot complain about, his side was balanced together with Ekong, brilliant player that boy but he needs to brushen up his ball playing abilities, needs to learn how to take on his man.

4) Simon is just what he is. He skinned both the LB and RB repeatedly and only if he could cross to save his life we would have scored a lot of goals. He was switching wings to devastating effects but the final ball was lacking. And the final ball has always been lacking in his game, he was our best forward/midfield player on the day. Iwobi however was literally kneeling down and begging for a passing partner with Echejile being totally non-existent. Iwobi wasn't poor, the system was poor, with a good LB Iwobi would perform well which is why I don't understand why someone would say that he isn't a wide midfielder, truth is if we are playing a 4-5-1 then nobody suits that position more than Iwobi, except we want to change to a 4-3-3.

5) Etebo needs to be dragged backwards. Killer passes just isn't his game, he should stamp down on that CMF position where all he needs to do is spray short passes and burst forward every once in a while, his decision making needs some work as well. Ndidi wasn't briliant and his strikes lacked their usual accuracy.

6) Who said Iheanacho was making runs? Iheanacho was standing in the exact same spot all match long. He was standing beside the LCB all match long, he didn't take up any other position and even when he dropped deep a couple of times to touch the ball, he lost it in both instances and even when Simon produced a nice cross to the back post that was begging to be nodded in, Iheanacho was not well positioned, that ball is what all strikers thrive on, that doesn't mean he isn't a good striker though just poor poor display from him, and that show of petulence should not go unpunished. Then watch what happened when Kayode came in, he actually took up two great goalscoring oppurtunities, one Etebo failed to pass but decided to shoot when Kayode was open, the next one he did receive the pass although he didn't hit the target but he gave the midfielders a passing option and they actually found him which shows that the midfielders actually know how to pass just that the striker wasn't giving them that opening. Promising display from him, if he had started that match he would have gassed out the two cbs and Iheanacho could pick the pieces but that's gone.

7) Let us now be plainly honest. Rohr is NOT A BRILLIANT COACH, he is a great man manager but far from a brilliant coach, no plan B nothing. I mean your plan B is a 3-4-3 formation but somehow the main player in your 3-4-3, you decide to leave out of the match day squad, makes no sense. No tactical tweaks during the game. IMHO, no team can outplay Sia1's team like that. I know he may invite his boys but they always deliver. If not for Moses we would have defeated Egypt, if not for Sadiq Umar we would have defeated Germany etc. The guy is a good coach but somehow we managed to tie down Rohr, but not that Rohr is bad but if we can get Sia1 as his assistant(not this Salisu guy), the combination would be perfect.

Oh and please BringBackOurEnyeama. Is Akpeyi a pro player?

Sirhethat12:
So are you saying a woman should not make demands of her man just because she is rich? just because I can afford to recharge my phone does not mean I can't ask my man to help me with it.


BTW, Ever heard of logic? the statement I made (the one you quoted) is a deduction from Beverly statement, it does not totally define my view on the subject. she said we shouldn't call guys broke because they can't give us things we can't afford, so that means we can call them broke if they can't give us things we can afford! Someone earning 600k monthly can see a man earning 200 K monthly as broke but a jobless woman has no right to call a man earning 200 K monthly broke.

JoNach:
Nigerians always doing us proud in diaspora...

Sirhethat12:
Then it's safe to call them broke it they can't afford to give me things I CAN AFFORD?


long story short; the rich should go after the rich and the poor should follow their kind. c'est finis!

You have been weighted in the balance and found wanting. Next

forgiveness:
Even if I show you evidence of how he boldly said 'that is why Onigbinde tribe will never coach the national team again' your brainwashed head will still pat him at his back.

Of course, I have seen you don dat recently when you exonerated Omobala your cohort.

But he said I am the tribalist here.
Chai. Na wa.

forgiveness:
Who cares where you are from?

I don't even want to know like you are perturbed to know.

Are you saved to know the mind of heavens?

Nwakali, Azubuike and Ramon Azeez doesn't deserve to be called to the national team. Even Sone Aluko is not mentioned by me despite the fact that he is a good player.

Go and sleep.

forgiveness:
Dele Alli don prove am

Dominic Solanke don prove am

Ajagun has proved himself severally and he will finally prove himself this season by his grace

Onomah proved himself


Plenty plenty plenty. But unfortunately you and your cohorts see nothing in inviting Nwakali and Azubuike in a second division to the national team.

Now, that is preposterous.

forgiveness:
Solanke was the cause of the arguments then and today I have been vindicated of all false allegations.

Is that not enough to bring back your sense of reasoning? Yet you are still soaking in the pool of sentiment.

Why should I change when everything I have said is coming to pass?

I said the same thing about Dele Alli even before he became anything and you are here to change. Even Icon4s say na average player. O my God!

Shuuuu! And you are here telling me to change. From what? Are you for real?

From the look of things I perceived you are a biased judge and your speech betrays you as one as guilty as such.

Sorry, I don't your biased advice because I wise enough.

Why not Obafemi Martins after all did England not recall Defoe after being forgotten for so many years and he is 2/3 years older than Obagoal.

I will ask if Obafemi was in that match do you think he would not have scored

forgiveness:
Oga, you are not in the best position to mediate or advice.

You are not different if you don't blame those engaged in it including yourself.

Stop mentioning you are not the only one blah blah because you have not taken votes of those who frequent this thread.

It is only you and your like minded fellow who are just a fraction of the total number of members and anonymous reads.

So stop playing that game.

Like I said all the players I clamored for here have proven that I know what I am talking about.

Are you blind to see that?

I have concrete evidence to back it up.

Soon I will open thread for it. I will expose him to the world at large.
