A Nigerian team should always be offensive minded....that's the Nigerian football culture,thatz our DNA.....
With all this supposed defending and he still won't win the world cup, infact they couldn't win the Afcon yet you are talking as if we are witnessing a defensive masterclass....
I will rather lose (5-3etc) by playing attacking football than defending and still come out with nothing...at least you will be entertained....
The 94 team were loved not because they were world conquerors but because their brand of football was exciting...

tbaba1234:
He is not been processed. He does not even need a process as he has not played any UEFA sanctioned game for England.

tbaba1234:
Ebere Eze is the closest thing we have had to an Okocha since he retired.

do4luv14:
preference indeed

its that same preference that makes FELIX to keep us waiting will preferring to wait on germany

whats does that makes us a dumping ground or a secondary option?


And now his silly report about not sure if we still need him ,

what does that tells you? He wanna play the scribe of that REDCARPET MAN to get his dream call up,
which me and you both know is not the SE

charlesemeka85:
Checked akpoguma's Stat now, he have been playing regularly for hoffeinheim this season.

do4luv14:
point of correction bro he is the one who will lose mot us

any abroad player of mixed parents who thinks he is bigger than the SE is decieving himself period

Honestly, I am not sold on Maduka. He looked jittery, and didn't have much to do. That being said, I don't think we have enough to fault his game, cos the Nigerian team was under a lot of pressure. He deserves another chance though. For those suggesting Ezenwa should have been called upon instead, I think you should fold your arms an wait. A good number of us here have repeatedly faulted Maduka' s call-up, so it's only reasonable that Rohr features him, perhaps there is something he sees in the guy, we are not seeing. Perhaps there are still some stuffs he's not completely clueless about . For Aribo, although the guy looks good, for the last 2 games the guy faded away for a large part of the second half. If you ask me, I think that's a problem, but again the whole team was bad during that period of storm. It could either be tactics (lack of continuity over two halves) or just the way he plays. I would assume it's the former though given his moment of brilliance late in the game, although even the worst of players are allowed to be brilliant momentarily. We really need that number 10. Iwobi has been consistently disappearing these days. Chukwueze, such a talented young chap, overconfidence will not kill you. In situations where the right back matches you pace for pace, only your decisions can put you over the hump. I liked Ajayi's burst forward into the midfield area but you better be sure of what you are doing man . Ekong, as usual what can say, the guy has grown into his role at the heart of the defence. Ndidi, floor general manhandling the samba boys earlier on in the midfield. Awaziem, solid overall, impressed by his timely defending generally, didn't impress much on the offensive though. Jamilu was not quite good overall, but he had his moments defensively. Osimhen, teriffic upfront. I said it a while ago, he can be devastating when he moves around, wide sometimes. Onuachu, i guess he was brought in to bring the brazilian backline under pressure, by feeding off long balls, but he was literally running around like he had a boil on his balls . Moses wasn't good, but he wasn't terrible either. He needs to add more spices to his game. He was helping out defensively, that's good when you are not doing too well upfront, and that assist was timely, he passed it when there was just enough space for Aribo to penetrate. Usually, for every team there is a period of storm within a match, but finding a way to weather the storm, when it starts mounting is a quality of a good coach. Rohr has mostly failed in that aspect so far. It's becoming a trend. I don't like Rohr, he stagnates a lot, I would think that's the limit of his understanding of the game, and he has not evolved much with this team, I guess we can blame old age for that .He manages to get some decent results though. Peace.

Once again you have joined the sentiment based negative presumption.

I'll say it again tactically Onuachu had a good game under the circumstances. He came on 74th minute to be an outlet with the long ball with hold up play, Aerial dominance and consequently reduce the pressure on the midfield that was close to getting over run.

He did all that IMO.

In the 20 minutes he played he had two attempts at goal a header and a shot albeit both off target.

For those of you who follow the sports media particularly the African based ones see the screen shot below and thier comments on Onuachu. It seems my opinion is shared by Nigerian sports media.

Finally the weakest link was Collins which I had already predicted and the MOTM was Aribo, in my opinion.

Is it bad belle or youthful misplaced exuberance that does not allow you to have an objective measured view or maybe your so fanatical you loose rational.

komekn:
That's not my view.

Chukwueze does a lot of dribbling and skill but the end product is very suspect.

It looks good and dangerous but in terms of being effective and impact. I think he needs to be more intelligent and know when to pick a pass and find his team mates more.

Dennis has not been tested to really know what he can do. Seyi Ojo may seem boring and lacking in the flair and flamboyance we in the SE are use too. But his stats say he is effective.

komekn:
Sadiq Umar was woeful in Rangers and has done nothing to justify any call up.

There is more justification for the call up of Seyi Ojo.

BascoVanVeli:
Aina nko

tbaba12345:
Ola Aina is competition surely

BascoVanVeli:
It will be hard to drop Awaziem also.

MetalJigsaw:
You mean Iwobi is better off at left MF than Kalu?

Eartquake1:
Sadiq Umar is not better than Onuachu

Mujtahida:
Not a SE material. I can't give you any reason for saying so but that's my feeling.

ChrisKels:
I will say it once again, we have a good Centre Back in Ajayi and his partnership with Ekong looks more assuring than that of Omeruo and Ekong.

Humility017:
exactly...or the coach play him lik the way he did against Zambia.
put him in the 2nd half... either as a AM/WINGER

Mujtahida:
Chai, I slept off thinking the match is in the evening

Humility017:
please I beg you...remove iwobi replace him with Dennis/yinka

iwobi can always come in substitute....like 20/30 mins
iwobi burns out too quickly... but he is very skillful

Humility017:
you say what....
Collins getting better

Collins was stewed today
