@ bolded. very WRONG assumption

TheGoodJoe:
It is not lazy. The players out there should know that the easiest path for the crew to know they are available is by them declaring themselves ready and willing to play for us. After they do that, it makes it easier for the crew to reach out to them.

People like Iwobi and Aina had ties that made it easy to reach out to them to enquire. Apart from that, we can end up with repeated embarrassing situations like Jordan Ibe and Nedum Onuoha.

I think the writer was saying the substitutions made the difference. The formation remained the same. We can't be sure if Rohr instructed Aina and Shehu not to go forward and be more defensive minded during the first half.
You are making assumptions. Personally, I think it was a like for like substitution after the first half.

We played 3-5-2 which can easily translate to 5-3-2 when defending. Both Idowu and Ebuehi did just that in the second half.

TheGoodJoe:
Nice write up but I want to point out a misconception. In the first half of the match against Argentina, we had a conservative set-up where the forward play of the wing backs was not a priority but supporting the defence.

Shehu did his job when it concerns that aspect well. However, being down a goal by half time, caused Rohr to switch to a brave offensive set-up with wing backs required to support the attack.

It paid and highlights my call for us to play with more bravery and offensive strategy.

The call of Shehu Abdullahi playing poorly does not work for me because he did what was required of the system until Rohr switched the system.

okay bro

Magjoel:
I love your prediction, let me go and do mine

We are going in circles. I just made you understand that majority of these players making us proud now did not declare for us first..
it's a lazy approach to wait for them to declare. That is pride, and that's my point. You are waiting for them to declare because even if you enquired you could still be "slapped on the face"..lol

modified
how do you enquire?

TheGoodJoe:
The point is too simple. No one is against Enquiring (not begging). It is EASIER to identify players when they declare. I Wonder why this is incomprehensible. What is pride in that?

okay.. Idowu, Aina, Iwobi etc should have declared first
your unreasonable pride will kill you.
kwantinue!!!

TheGoodJoe:
I repeat, no one is against enquiring. The call is against convincing. It is easier for us to identify those who want to play for us by them declaring. As for the young ones that want to wait, I wish them the best. My concern is with those who want to represent us.

Finito.

How will you know they prefer to play for another country? It's after inquiring you get to know. And I was of the opinion that you don't keep pressing. But first things first. it's always a great thing to have prior relationship with the player.

Modified
Idowu is not 18. Younger players are more likely to say they are waiting for the other country. Aina waited, Iwobi waited..etc. when the calls didn't come we showed them that we believed in them. And the rest as they say is history.

TheGoodJoe:
No one said, do not contact. No one said do not enquire. The point is trying to convince a player who prefers to play for another country is bad for our image and we are fighting for players who might not be devoted to our course.

When Rohr said he is following Idowu, Idowu did not say, I do not feel Nigerian or I want to wait for Russia.

right!

Mujtahida:
Just that simple word 'I am following you' is good enough to lead to something good. Not too much paraphernalia and ceremony. Just tap into the human need for relevance, acceptance and glory.

This is what we've been saying.. talking about engagement. Others are talking about patriotism. Can't we see from these many examples...?

Mujtahida:
Here's an interesting article on Bryan Idowu. I'll still post another one

BRIAN IDOWU'S JOURNEY FROM ST PETERSBURG TO NIGERIA MAY END AT WORLD CUP
https://punchng.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/14193831/Nigeria-vs-Argentina5.jpg
"I am an African with a Russian heart," Nigeria's Brian Idowu said in 2011. The story of the Russia-born defender who made his debut for the Super Eagles on Tuesday against Argentina, and could play at the 2018 World Cup in the country of his birth, is unique.
Idowu acted as a translator at Nigeria's news conference ahead of the fixture in Krasnodar earlier this week because he speaks perfect Russian. The defender then proved his worth on the pitch as well, scoring just eight minutes after coming on at half-time, as Nigeria completed a sensational comeback to beat their illustrious opponents (who were without Lionel Messi) 4-2.
It was a magical moment for the 25-year-old as, just a few years ago, his career seemed to be going nowhere.
When Russia were announced as future World Cup hosts in 2010, Idowu harboured hopes of representing them at the tournament.
He was eligible because he was born in St Petersburg (where his parents met while attending university; his father studied architecture, while his mother is a doctor) and his maternal grandmother Olga is Russian. His other three grandparents are Nigerian and, when Idowu was three, the family moved to Nigeria to live in the southern city of Owerri for three years before returning to Russia.
When they came back, Idowu had to learn Russian quickly before going to school -- where he eventually excelled at Russian literature -- and at the same time joined the football academy at Zenit. Inspired by watching Ronaldo and Roberto Baggio at the 1998 World Cup, he started out as a striker, then tried being a goalkeeper, before settling as an attack-minded right-back at the age of 12. He was considered one of the best talents in his age group, and was included in some provisional squads of the Russian Under-16 national team, but never played for them.
As time went by, it became apparent that he wouldn't get an opportunity to break into the senior Zenit squad, and he chose to leave for Amkar Perm, in the Ural mountains, in 2010.
When playing on loan at second division Dinamo St Petersburg in 2013, Idowu explained his reasons for leaving his hometown: "When I studied at school, people kept telling me that I would be the first black player for Zenit. But then, when I trained with the reserves, nobody told me anything. I was tired of waiting and joined Amkar. Later my agent openly told me that Zenit don't accept black players.
"I think it's not about the club policy, but rather about fans. They want to be different from the big rivals Spartak [Moscow] and CSKA [Moscow] who won their titles with the help of black players. Zenit fans are proud to be different, and the club doesn't want to disappoint them."
With little experience of first-team games, Idowu only made his full debut for Amkar in May 2012, a few days before his 20th birthday, and spent another season in the reserves before getting some playing time at Dinamo.
It took until the end of 2015 before Idowu finally proved himself at Amkar under the guidance of veteran coach Gadzhi Gadzhiev. He gradually improved his game and became the starting right-back in a team known for its defensive organisation (Amkar conceded 29 goals in 30 games in 2016-17, and 12 goals in 16 matches this term). That form was noticed and his first contact from Nigeria came soon after.
["Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr contacted me and told that he is following me," Idowu said in November 2016. "He wanted to invite me to the squad, but that was impossible because I don't have a Nigerian passport.
"Gadzhiev said that such a call is not incidental, and I should keep progressing. He advised me to wait and see if I get called by Russia as well. I don't see why I can't play for Russia if I keep getting better, but they have good players like Mario Fernandes [CSKA's Brazilian-born right-back] in my position. They don't miss me."
But with Russia yet to make a move, Rohr was keen to revisit Idowu's nationality switch -- made more complex by the fact he could have lost his place in the Amkar team because, according to Russian FA rules, each club can only field six foreigners [in a 6+5 system] at the same time.
"A year ago, Idowu was invited to the national team, but then he did not play because of the difficulty with the limit on the foreign players in the Russian championship,'' Rohr told Sport Express Russia ahead of the Argentina game. ''But now the situation has changed ... I look forward to Brian not only as a good interpreter in Russia, but also as a fully-fledged player who will make the World Cup roster.''
Amkar have more Russian players in the squad this season, which has made Idowu's situation easier, but there is a still a chance of a U-turn if he gets a call from Stanislav Cherchesov and only plays for Nigeria in friendly matches until the World Cup. Though, after his debut performance in the 4-2 win over Argentina, the chances are that will Russia will lose out on a top talent to the Super Eagles.
"I feel great [with Nigeria] I have been well received by both players and coaches," he said. "The atmosphere is very positive. For me this is a huge chance and experience.
"As for why I'm not playing for Russia, I shouldn't be asked this question. I want to go to the World Cup with Nigeria, because they believed in me."

From Balogun to Iwobi now to Idowu they always say the same thing about acceptance, about believe, about the connection.

11 LESSONS TO DRAW FROM NIGERIA’S WIN OVER ARGENTINA
Add Comment 3 hours ago by Bryan Efe

https://spotkik.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/ngrarg-810x663.jpg

After due consideration of various commentaries, in the aftermath of the Nigeria-Argentina friendly, I feel obliged to present my opinion. I have waited patiently for the emotions to die down, carefully considering three perspectives -- the loser's, the winner's, as well as that of those who did not have any stake on that match-day -- to make the most objective submission possible, on the lessons Nigeria can draw from that unexpected victory.

1. A friendly is what it is -- a friendly

One should expect that referees are usually less strict at this competitive level. The Super Eagles would have paid dearly for one of their player's costly mistake, notably, Daniel Akpeyi's handling the ball outside his area. In a World Cup situation, that event would have been a game changer in favor of the Argentines, as Akpeyi would have been sent off, and a forced substitution would have been made to pave way for a second choice goalkeeper. Argentina, a team that depends a lot on high possession, pressing and passing game will make any opponent with an inferior numerical strength, pay dearly. Thank goodness it was just a friendly! Hence, the Super Eagles must not rest on its oars.

2. Argentina missed Lionel Messi

Nigeria benefited immensely from the absence of Messi in the Argentina squad. Now this is no excuse for Argentina. To say Messi has been influential for the La Albiceleste will be an understatement. The five-times Ballon d'or winner carried Argentina on his shoulders on the road to their world cup qualification. This is rather a lesson to learn for Argentina, as the coach rightly insinuated in the post-match press conference, that a one-man team is a bad idea, and it played against them in the loss. Messi is the kind of player that can make a difference. Need I make this argument? With what we saw from Nigeria's performance especially in the first half, Argentina would have wrapped up the game early had an in-form Messi been on the pitch, and this would have affected the Nigerian players, psychologically. A fight back for the Super Eagles would have been difficult -- although still possible.  So what's the lesson here? In the World Cup proper, teams will be looking to punish us early, and their strategy may be to hold on to the lead by defending and relying on counter attacks. Let's keep this in mind as we have been in a similar situation in the world cup stage in the past.

3. Super Eagles showed boldness and determination

This point may sound contradictory to the second, but what I'm presenting here is an all encompassing submission. Granted, some teams will punish you early, but the Super Eagles players, showed character by starting the fight back in the first half through Kelechi Iheanacho's free-kick goal. That goal made the job easier for Gernot Rohr at the break. There is a big difference, talking to your players about getting back from two goals down versus motivating them to get back from just a goal down. The players already had the believe that they could draw level, they just needed directection. Gernot Rohr, as director-in-chief, did just that at the break, with timely instructions and substitutions.

4. With Gernot Rohr, there is time for everything

Gernot Rohr may have well been misunderstood during the World Cup qualifiers. Many commentators have been of the opinion that he is a conservative coach. Rohr's change of formation from the overused 4-2-3-1 to a never used 3-5-2 in a friendly of such magnitude shows the Franco-German tactician is open to experimentation at the right moment, considering the match was not a must win.

5. A Lesson or two as regards Aina and Shehu

A three center back formation relies heavily on pacy and dogged wing backs, who should have the capability of performing their duties for 90 minutes. Nigeria's wing backs at the first half, fell short in this regard. Olaoluwa Aina and Abdullahi Shehu did not perform to expectation, especially as they did not offer much options going forward. Nigeria must now learn never to deploy the aforementioned players as wing backs unless the players positioned at left-center-back, and right-center-back, are instructed to make up for spaces should they forward. Even in this case, Aina and Shehu must improve in their recovery if they must be considered to start in this formation, going forward. they also lacked tenacity in attack.

6. Iheanacho, on set pieces

Kelechi Iheanacho is composed enough to take Nigeria's set pieces. He should be our man for spot-kicks, free kicks and corner kicks, as long as he is on the pitch. He's never showed a lack of confidence with his left foot, in those situations. And let me also chip this in. The Leicester forward is beginning to show that he still has the instinct for brilliant key passes, considering his double assist against Argentina -- reminiscent of his Golden Eaglet days.

7. Victor Moses is replaceable at least...

Chelsea wing-back, Victor Moses, is not indispensable at least when Nigeria is playing with three men at the rear. With the formation against Argentina, Tyronne Ebuehi showed dynamism with a solid defensive display and with impressive fast movement going forward, characteristic of world class wing backs. He completely commanded his area while defending. With sweeping tackles and timely blocks he withstood everything that was thrown at him for 45 minutes with aplomb. Ebuehi, with his performance against Argentina, showed us he can replace Victor Moses, easily, as wing back. At least, this is debatable.

8. In Idowu, Nigeria may have just solved a lingering problem.

Left wing back, Bryan Idowu was simply the truth against Argentina. He had a debut every debutant would die for, scoring with his first touch, to put Nigeria ahead in the game for the first time, and doing all the necessary at the rear. For years, since the prime days of Celestine Babayaro, the Super Eagles has endured a lack of good options in the left back defense department. Although it may be too early to conclude that Bryan Idowu has knocked out super regular Elderson Echiejile from contention, a repeat performance from the Russian-Nigerian will definitely put an end to Echiejile's reign as the Super Eagles left back king.

9. Perfecting the false nines.

The most lethal sides today rely heavily on dynamism in attack, with all forwards ever-switching positions during the run of play, and all capable of scoring -- hence, false nines. Against Argentina, Nigeria showed such dynamism. Two-goal hero, Alex Iwobi, who has mostly played as a winger for Nigeria, continued to show he is more lethal drifting in, to the middle. All Iwobi's four goals for Nigeria have come from the center of the attack line. Kelechi Iheancho -- who scored a goal, and provided two assists for Nigeria against Argentina  -- likewise,  have also been deadly for Nigeria, drifting in the front. Team captain, John Obi Mikel, who is not a center forward, supplied 3 goals for Nigeria during the qualifiers. Therefore, Nigeria survived the world cup qualifiers without a true nine, except for Odion Ighalo who only managed a goal during the qualifiers. Nigeria's precise execution at the front against Argentina, shows the team may have just perfected the science of dynamism with false nines.

10. Hard tackling as strength and weakness

The Super Eagles is a physical side -- an asset that played to Nigeria's advantage in the win. However, it could also be a weakness in more serious competitions like the world cup, as some referees will not hesitate to flash yellow cards at will, especially against sides showing physical superiority -- West African countries especially. A noteworthy event was Kelechi Iheanacho elbowing Argentina's Nicolas Otamendi. That would have attracted a red card in a more competitive game. Gernot Rohr must check his boys on discipline, going forward.

11. Mikel's indispensability, a risk.

John Obi Mikel must not advance when Nigeria is not in possession. His momentary lack of positional awareness, created a gap Argentina exploited in their quick build up to the second goal. Even Wilfrend Ndidi and John Ogu could not stop the Argentines. This goes to show that Nigeria will always feel Mikel's absence. Something needs to be done about this quickly. No player should be indispensable to an extent that their absence can easily spell doom. This is a danger sign. Can Mikel ever be deputized? Please leave your comments or recommendations.

safarigirl:
On the topic


If we rated the best-performing team according to which team has the best-looking players, Nigeria would obviously win . The ranking would go:

1. Nigeria
2. Tunisia
3. Morocco
4. Egypt
5. Senegal

However, if we are to gauge their performances at the mundial based on how they played at the Qualifiers, I would say:

1. Nigeria

They made it out of a group of death comprising of two former African Champions, a reigning Champion and a formerly ranked number 1 team in Africa.
They did this with a game to spare and with no losses. They scored a total 12 goals, NONE of which came from a PK, ALL from open play (Lethal Attack)
They conceded only 4 goals, 2 of which were from Penalties
Obviously, this is the African team to be feared. No be beans to whip top opposition, considerably the best teams from each region at the start of the Third Round of Qualifiers.
They obviously have a team mixed with both youth and experience, both will be vital at the mundial.
The goal keeping issue might be their biggest hindrance going into Russia and sincerely, could be the only thing that will stop them from making a Quarter final berth in Russia


2. Morocco

Funny how the two least ranked African teams will be my picks for the top two performers right?
Not only did Morocco qualify for Russia 2018, they did it in GRAND style, conceding 0 goals all through the final round if qualifiers.
They also ensured the Elephants of Ivory Coast missed out despite them having the better players in the likes of Serge Aurier and Eric Bailly, two of Africa's best defenders in Europe, as well as veteran Gervinho and former Three Lions player, Zaha
It should also be noted that they have a brilliant coach in the person of French man Herve Renard, a man with a stellar record in African football having taken Zambia and Ivory Coast to the AFCON trophies in 2012 and 2015 respectively. If his record is anything to go by then I expect this Moroccan team to give other nations some serious headache next year


3. Egypt

Going into their first World Cup appearance in 27 years, the 7-time African Champions are obviously not going to Russia to visit Edward Snowden.
Coming off a performance that saw them clinch the second position at the just concluded AFCON and saw them end the hopes of one of Africa's most consistent performers at the World Cup, Ghana, you can tell these Pharaohs will not be beaten by anyone as easily as they were beaten by Moses.
I expect blood, sweat and tears from Egypt, I expect a battle Ghana would be proud of and with the likes of Mohammed Salah and El Neny, I expect other nations to keep a keen eye on this Arab nation.


4. Senegal

This is one team I NEEDED to make it to Russia, having lost out of the ticket to Brazil in an EPIC encounter with Ivory Coast, Senegal was the team to beat in their Group and I expected them to give the others a resounding fight..
Granted, they did not kick off their battle in the manner I expected of them and considering the opposition, I was a but disappointed, but that FIFA's decision for a replay against SA gave them the right boost and Mane and his boys weren't going to just let it slip past.
I expect Senegal to put up a fight the likes of which they gave in 2013 and being that they are the only other West African team at the mundial, I will be waving the Senegalese flag alongside that of Nigeria

5. Tunisia

I didn't quite follow their qualification journey, however, they did show great team spirit coming back from a 2-goal deficit within the last 10 minutes against DRC in the latter's home that was incredibly decisive as the one point they earned in that draw was the difference between them and DRC as they clinched the ticket with 14 points to DRC's 13.
I expect a similar fight as the one they gave DRC, however, I have the least expectations of them of all Africa's representatives.


Generally, Africa is going to give the world something to talk about come next year and I am highly optimistic that our reps will show up. This is one of the best contingents this continent will be sending to Russia and I wish them all the best at the World Cup Draws come December 1st.

You sabi maths, statistics oo-all this number things. Omo my brain na nursery school pikin own for maths. Well done, well done. Let me bookmark this.

Thanks bro for giving me this opportunity. Before I make my submission I want to explain how I came up with my prediction.
I used established standards in my selection, which involves drawing.

The practice is to put the host team in Group A, and then pick the rest Pot 1 teams to head the subsequent groups.
I used a Random Picker tool online, to select countries picking one country at a time from each pot to fill the 8 groups.
Coincidentally Nigeria was picked last, meaning we fell in Group H. Here are my results per group. (Remember only European teams can appear twice in a group, unlike the reps of the other confederations):

GROUP A
1. RUSSIA
2. SWITZERLAND
3. TUNISIA
4. JAPAN

GROUP B
1. GERMANY

INJURY UPDATE

Nigeria's First-Choice RB Target Announces He'll Return To Action Before World Cup

Nigeria's First-Choice RB Target Announces He'll Return To Action Before World Cup EFL Championship side Hull City have provided an injury update on former Nigeria U23 invitee Moses Odubajo.

The ex-England U20 international has not played for the Tigers since he got injured in a pre-season friendly against Grimsby Town in July 2016.

''Long-term injury victim Moses Odubajo is hoping for a return to action in the Spring following a positive meeting with his consultant this week,'' Hull City wrote on their official website.

''That represents light at the end of the tunnel for the 24-year-old right back, although any predicted return date remains tentative at this stage after such a lengthy lay-off.''

Odubajo had been approached by the Nigeria Football Federation supremo Amaju Pinnick to represent the Super Eagles as the national team coaches looked to solve the problematic right back spot.

As a result of his lengthy spell on the sidelines, the Nigerian Federation made moves for Ola Aina, Tyronne Ebuehi and Brian Idowu.

Well I meant October, and November rankings then. Don't miss the main point.
Thanks for the correction though.

nelszx:
You're calling December rankings when November hasn't even been published

And his pace is something else.

Mujtahida:
Rohr be like 'Wenger I no tell you'

But on a serious note Iwobi co-ordinates himself quickly when he's at the centre than from out wide. All his goals for us has come from the central position.

You are right

junnyjake:
Moses and Iwobi are different players when they put on green.

na so Ebuehi dey bench since na hahaha

forgiveness:
419 quality. Why em no use am na?

I remember Ogu making a case for Ejaria. At that time Ogu was not even under consideration for SE.

junnyjake:
You DE mind them?

By the time we pick Onomah, Aneke polish them well, na that time their eyes go open.

Since their eye no wan open reach their side.

Okay I get you.. But at least there is a possibility Idowu can play there for us especially now that we've started experimenting with the formation

tbaba1234:
It is like cesar azpilicueta playing as part of a back three. I doubt he will play in that role when playing with 2 CBs.

If Nwakali gets another call up, it would mean Rohr believes in his qualities.

forgiveness:
Rohr must not invite Nwakali to the team until he deserves it.

I'm not sure what you are getting at. CB is CB, regardless of the formation.
Awaziem, Balogun and Ekong all played as 3CBs yesterday.

Question, when Idowu played as a CB did he also play as the wing back?

tbaba1234:
Amkar plays a back 3 so that his CB role must have been part of a back 3.

yes quite versatile. Has even played at CB.
That's the kind of players we want -- lots of options.

tbaba1234:
Idowu also plays RB but has been playing as a left back regularly. He is comfortable with both feet.

Especially as we did not have dedicated wingers, much of the wing play have to be done by wing-backs. And you are right about that, he plays as a left wing back for his club, and funny enough he is right footed like Aina. Wing backs need to be fast, because they are supposed to cover a lot of distance.

tbaba1234:
It was a new formation but the personnel were not equipped for it.

Idowu plays as a wing back every week for Amkar so he is very suited.

Ebuehi is pacy and loves running forward.

Shehu and Aina are more defensive minded and that does not suit the position.

in fact we didn't go forward much in that first half, until we conceded the second. I think most of the blunder -- except Akpeyi's -- was due to positional awareness in a new 3-5-2 formation.

tbaba1234:
He did not do badly at all. However, he lacked the attacking drive needed from wing backs.

lol.. watching that first half again. Aina did not do badly.

tbaba1234:
Frypan to Fire...

This is why we need to catch these guys young and not wait until they get to the limelight.

junnyjake:
I tell you, and that's not all, we'd still get more.


Netherlands missing out on Ekong and Ebuehi would be painful to them as well. Those guys No get defense.

yes i'm surprised. He is actually good at shooting. Maybe only when he plays for the green white green.... lol
Precise shooter!

Mujtahida:
When he plays for Nigeria and he gets into the eighteen yard box he just shoots. His first goal was like the one he scored to qualify us.

I didn't even think of Moses.. lol
Well, now I see why England took Tammy's case seriously.. Now they are hugging all these players so we no go get space talk to them

MetalJigsaw:
It should be Moses.

Yes, playing regularly for a second tier will be good enough.

kingphilip:
i think he too should seek a loan move by Jan so that he can have more playing time while still undergoing tutelage
