tbaba1234:
Based on today's performance, i think etebo's energy is important in the middle especially for tough games.

I hope we can get 6 point in the next two games, qualify and experiment in the last games.

TheGoodJoe:


Iheanacho is definitely a better choice than Musa. His pressing and running makes him vital to us. Something he did very well today. Also, judge after few games.

You guys gave Ighalo ages and want Iheanacho out after one game. Iheanacho got into that position after impressing the coach in training.

In a less organised defence and out players creating chances for him, we can judge Nacho then.

Certitude:
Only when we have either success or kayode.

Slimydude49:
iwobi Is mostly likely to be dropped to accomodate nacho on the wings

TheGoodJoe:
Apart from the cross from Shehu, Iheanacho did not get any clear cut chance from the midfield. That was how organised the Algerians were. I doubt we can categorise that as bad.

BascoVanVeli:
Iheanacho was bad, lets be honest.

joseph1013:
Guys, we have to discuss o. Kelechi is not effective as a lone striker as seen in City and Eagles yet if he has to play as a SS, one of the guys in the midfield today would have to go (Etebo, Mikel, Onazi/Ndidi). How practicable is this?

AIG07:
Baba Icon4s-you said it and t was so-170th goal was scored today.

I throway salute to you, TheSuperNerd n Sir. Napoleon55. You so on point.

OdenigboAroli:
And I no even watch the game.

Napoleon55:
Yeah,I got my prediction right. Nig. 3 - 1 Algeria

Mickael2:
yes, fatigue has been catching up with Mikel sha, lack of game time, he started well but faded, leaving Nacho alone upfront

TheSuperNerd:
Sir Tbaba1234 and Sir Icon4s (the original Icon in our midst... Iffa catch that impersonator ehn!!!)... Abeg una dey feel the tension? as una don tey for Nigerian and international soccer analysis and enthusiastic followership....

Me make I no lie you ooo... With less than 6hrs to the game.... I am already feeling the tension.... Chaaaiiiii..... Super Eagles Fly! Score the goals! And make the Difference...

TheSuperNerd:
All you do is talk down Mikel... So that make all your points invalid... Looolllll

I've made my points... Ciao...

100mikels < half of kante... Chaaiiii Yara Yara and TheGoodJoe must hear this... Looollll

In fact, let Safarigirl, Icon4s, AIG07, BascoVanVeli... And other lords of the sports section hear this... This is laughable. Looollll

TheGoodJoe:

Props to the team experience guys. From Icon4s, TheSuperNerd, goldfish80, BascoVanVeli, tbaba1234 and others.

Now it is time to throw our weight behind Rohr. We employed Rohr to make tough decisions. It is not easy dropping any player.

All the best to Akpeyi.

confun:
original wetin, abeg don't say that again o, we know the stakeholders here, oga icon4s na the original, be careful abeg.....don't impersonate.....

TheGoodJoe:
These are 16 - 17 years players. Owen, Rooney were known players within these ages. Yet, this ones are having this exposure now.

It is not only about winning. What of education? That is a big part of sports. This was a brilliant move.

TheGoodJoe:

I said, do not say a player is more experienced than another. Tell us who is better not experience. A player uses experience to get better. If another is better, he should start. Not selecting a player because he is experienced.

We are giving this young lads the experience to get better. When it is time for selection, select the better player. Do not use a vague criteria like experience to drop a better player.

I hope you get my point.

TheGoodJoe:

The U20 have no tournament to play but they are exposed. They won the U17 World Cup. These ones have no exposure.

joseph1013:
Why didn't we use the appropriate boys? Using the Amuneke U20 boys would have made more sense. Look at their faces...they look U13. And you ask them to go against Ejaria and Solanke.

The way we think in this country ehn...smh

TheGoodJoe:

Are you saying the 16 - 17 years players in Abuja FC will put up better performances?

The exposure is for them to gain experience. Not only to market themselves. It is a long-term project.

TheGoodJoe:


The NFF will not disband them. The NFF showed innovation with sending this boys to this tournament. It is a long-term process. The NFF did not expect a team made of 16 and 17 years old to beat pros with players who have played in the Premier League and Champions League. It is a brilliant vision.

As for seeing Awaziem, Nwakali and Osimhen, it will bring bragging rights but these lads are exposed. We need to expose the players the NFF spent time and money discovering. We need younger players that will compete with the already exposed ones.

Icon79:
But why then did Daniel displaced him in the Olympics team?

LOL. I am the original icon, bruh!

lakesidepapa:
Experience, exposure and technical wise, Akpeyi is better. Forget talent. Oga, why u dey impersonate one of bosses in this thread? Icon4s ur impersonator has been caught
