Lucque:
Some of u guys here never cease to amaze
wen some coaches brag abt their teams nd how they will go all d way to win games nd trophies... Ud come here nd start saying they only know how to brag or wag their mouths..
Rohr is talking small nd removing d pressure off d players nd allowing dem play their football free of d burden of expectation nd u ppl are complaining...
Lemme ask those smart enof to think... Has rohr ever played defensively or played a formation dat looks like we want to sit back nd take a beating even tho he always says we arent favorite??

If u believe dat just because d coach says we arent favorites it will make d players want d trophy any less den ur just not thinking straight

Nd if u believe he will not lose his job if he performs poorly with d team just becos he is calming down expectations den ur just a learner (No offense?)

So ppl should just chill
Abeg gustav gimme dat ur L picture

Some of us have tried to make the others understand this, to no avail.

I can see some people whining about Ighalo, somebody that still played about 2/3 weeks ago, not months o and he's resumed training ahead of tournament that will start in over one week time, what exactly is the problem there? players have knocks and they come back from it fully fit. I know weytin they pain some of una, it's because if he had been dropped your favorite boy would have been picked sorry Ighalo will start at Afcon and he'll surely bully Burundi

Loud it.

Inane ramblings.

Southampton are regarded as favourites to land Spezia striker David Okereke.

The young forward is a target for Sassuolo, though they're falling behind Saints in the race for his signature.

Okereke favours a move to England and Southampton are happy to outbid all rivals to convince Spezia to sell.

Saints will offer £15m to sign Okereke, with the offer far outstripping what Serie ASassuolo can put together.

Okereke, 21, moved to Italy from Nigeria.

15 million for a striker from Serie B who just had his breakout season? C'mon naaaa, sounds bogus.

Marjoribanks:
It's you that doesn't know ball trying to undermine our victory over Korea.
If ranking is not important why was it introduced.
Why is South Africa not ahead of Spain.
Na you no Sabi anything.

What if I told you that the Rankings are "just there". They are just referential at best.

There is only little correlation between the ranking and the actual results on the Pitch..

andrew444:
Taking 3 strikers to a competition is very very good

Belgium took 3 strikers to the world cup and they are also loaded with wingers

Are you judging onauchu by just a game? if iheanacho made it to the afcon then its monkey dey work and baboon dey chop so you want him to come from no where and proove him self in a friendly then you will use that opportunity to take him, if so then isaac success should also be in afcon

You cant just have a bad form for club side and work in straight to the national team when there are others strikers who did well.

God bless you yanfu yanfu.

Humility017:
okay...pray we win our first two matches so that rohr can Bench him for the last group match for someone else to enable him have some rest

Team physiologist welldone work.

Humility017:
yeah sure...
let's hope everything pangs well....
going with like kind of strikers where you will likely play
one at a time is like a waste of space...

i am not okay with PAUL.... he cant even jump to head

Even as useless as Agali was when it comes to foot work
but on the air he was a beast

Bros na lie.

Danielnino00:
Actually bro there are minnows in Africa football. The problem is that some of these big boys on the continent with some big name players(Senegal CIV, et al) don't always play as a team.. Maybe it has to do with arrogance on the part of the players or poor coaching....

Egypt have never really boost of having the best squad in Africa(as per big name players) but they are the most successful..

I'm not expecting the likes of Madagascar, Burundi Namibia,etc to produce much upset at the AFCON .they will just be tough to beat...

If they are tough to beat then it's already an upset. Morocco went on to lose that game to Gambia yesterday.

andrew444:
This is football bro ,we need to beat France ,are they fielding 15 players against 11 ?

In football anything is possible so we need to stop the inferiority complex

Infe-what? Lol!


Oga it's not inferiority complex, the Falcons will take a hammering from France, they will take 0 points from that game.

Icon79:
So you think that this is a well coached team? Listen, winning covers up a lot of things but if you can look beyond the win you'd realize that this team still can't do the basics. They leave a lot of spaces once they re not with the ball. Their off the ball movement is close to zero …. all eyes on d ball without watching the opponent free runners, no shape, can't pass, can't shoot, can't defend, and often don't know where their markers are.

Considering that we've been participating in the WWC for the past 20 years or so; one would expect to see some improvements. Was I expecting too much


O pari

The team play is so poor.

Curtisaxel7:
Hmm. No more minnows....


This AFCON go sweet.

I went through Morocco's results today and I was shocked their results weren't spectacular. Stats wise they're just a decent side, that's all.

Icon79:
KPOM!

And by the way, could someone tell me who made the decision to start Tochukwu Oluehi in the goal in our first march, when we had this goalkeeper! I mean, you don't even need to be a coach to realize that Nnaedozie is a much better goalkeeper. it isn't even a close call sef!


O pari

Senior and Junior player.

Morocco losing to Gambia.

Spain currently exposing the Germans. Spaniard goal loading...

The Germans have not been fantastic recently.

Danielnino00:
U sure say chief Ifeanyi Uba no dy sell una matches to fund political campaigns?

I doubt. The man is distracted for now, his attention is greatly directed towards national politics. Senate Presidency and stuff.

Danielnino00:
What did u achieve when the Brazilians were there ??

It's was a better showing. At least our Brazilian boys were scoring direct freekicks week after week. And back then they were not really happy, FCIU was greatly disorganized, they didn't get their wages as at when due. Eventually they left.


We will get them back, with a better structure on ground next season we will compete. You'll see. This dash dash will stop.

Danielnino00:
Meanwhile, FC Ifeanyi Ubah have done nothing but donate three points to all other teams in the super 6... 3 points is certain for Rangers now and that would put pressure on Akwa to beat Enyimba which could still end up favouring Pillars. ..

IMO it would have been better if all the games today where played at the same time in different venues

We will go and bring back those Brazil boys. Next season we will be unplayable. Just watch.

Interesting to note that individuals here now concur with my line of reasoning concerning setting up youth leagues. Set up something of a very good standard for both the boys and girls and watch them compete better on the world stage. It's not magic, It's Science.
On the business side it's a profitable investment

andrew444:
Is it a friendly game?

Yes.

Much talked about Algeria could not beat much maligned Burundi yesterday. What does this bode for the national team of Nigeria?

Egypt Vs Tanzania tomorrow

Jarus:
Rohr actually used it several times in the qualifiers or friendlies before the 2018 WC.

No. It's not actually the same. There's a slight tweak to this that allows for 2 wide forwards.

mostob:
I have gone through some posts here on how our formation may not suited our 2 best wingers Henry and Samuel.
IMO I think we can accommodate both in the same line up even when playing 3 at the back. Both are not defensively solid so this formation might suit them.
.......Uzoho....

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

.Simon....Ndidi....Iwobi/mikel....Aina

..Samuel. ..Onuachu.....Henry.

I pick Onuachu because of his fondness to drop deep which will allow Henry and Samuel to drift inside. The question now is who can create goalscoring chances most?Mikel/Iwobi.
this formation can only be effective against teams with blunt attack.
I stand to be corrected though

Excellent!

I didn't think of this variant previously. A formation that won Chelsea the league just few seasons back under Conte.

You've brought in a new perspective!

krattoss:
Esperance Sportive De Tunis have refused to replay the CAF Champions League Final.
.
" We don't want to play. We won the trophy, we took the medals, we were given a go ahead by the officials and we are champions. For the fact that the VAR wasn't there is not our fault.
.
It's CAF's duty to make sure that everything is perfect. They found out that the VAR wasn't available before the match started but nothing was said. We are not going to play another Final. If CAF or FIFA has a problem with our final decision, let them play their own Final with the referees and VAR”.

*The last statement can kill someone with laughter*

I love this.

If we're talking formations I think the 3 5 2 is only a fallback formation. 4 3 3 will be the main formation and Rohr even implied so in one of the press releases.

Bolowolowo:
Na wa ooooo!!! Is anyone watching this onslaught??!?!

I predicted 10 nil before the match they wickedly added 3

But Kalu just stepped down for the Mace Thief to have a shot.


The slowpoke is not even from the South or East. Tufia!

I know how these things usually turn out with the Chinese. Even if their new OS is not up to scratch initially they'll still aggressively improve on it till it can. compete. They still win in the long run.. There's a lot to learn from the Chinese..

I wonder how I ever wronged FCIU.
