Okay my brothers and sister(s) Let's calm down. It's okay to take a defeat. What Rohr learns from it is what matters most. Let's take some positives: 1. It is not impossible to pay south africa back in their own coins in the reverse fixture 2. It's better we get a reality check before we face Cameroon. This was just it. 3. We expect that Rohr will be even better in player selection and formation in future Remarks: 1. Having a good domestic league is very very important. It played to SA's advantage. 2. Baxter knows us too well. He boasted about what they will do to us. And they did just that. It doesnt look like Rohr spent a considerable amount of time studying the opponent. I made comment about the playing style of South Africa. We lacked a cohesive midfield. That's very important when playing South Africa. 3. Our forward line are too individualistic. We need more team players in this team. Moses Simon may be good in his own right. but how many link up play can he pull up?. 4. Iwobi for once should be tried in the number 10 role in the absence of Mikel. That's his preferred role. in fact in my dream starting line up, I had him play behind Onyekuru or musa and Iheanacho (the former more individualistic, the latter more surpotive). Because Iwobi is great at link up plays. Musa should have got the nod from the start if not for fasting. I think he needs time against South Africa. They are scared of him and he can be a distraction. 5. Iheanacho will offer more to the team if we stop playing him as a 9. 6. The team is lacking the right experience. It was somewhat built around Mikel. Should I say we just paid the price? 7. We must return back to 4-2-3-1 8. Etebo was the most lively today among the forwards. Outlines his quality. But today was not his day. MODIFIED 9. Awaziem needs more experience. Should not be a starter in an important game. I was wrong judging from the non-competitive friendlies. Omeruo would have done better than last time against South Africa. 10. Our defensive options is still a problem. And MUST be fixed before our next game. MODIFIED AGAIN 11. So you still think we have safe hands in Akpeyi and Ezenwa? |
national disgrace |
basket akpeyi |
I was late to the game. I will make my assessment after the match. TheGoodJoe: |
sorry just noticed safarigirl: |
I see Agu and Ogu coming in. then maybe Musa |
Exactly what Siasia said as regards Iwobi Famocious: |
what are your ratings for the first half? |
thank you!!! jotey: |
How do you rate Awaziem so far? |
I had said Musa will not start Modified You know like I said even they have been speculating. tbaba1234: |
Decision to start Awaziem ahead of Omeruo explained As exclusively reported by Owngoalnigeria.com FC Porto defender Chidozie Awaziem will start ahead of Chelsea loanee Kenneth Omeruo in the heart of Nigeria’s defence alongside William Troost-Ekong. Awaziem made his international debut for Nigeria against Togo last few days ago, but the 20 year old has gotten the nod to start ahead of Omeruo who has been a stalwart at the back for Nigeria since 2013. Owngoalnigeria.com gathered the decision to start Awaziem was taken by Rohr in France as he did several drills with the defenders ahead of the South Africa game, Omeruo didn’t make it to their camp in France while Awaziem did. The Porto man interpreted correctly the drills in the friendly game against Togo which Nigeria won 3- 0 , and during training in Uyo, he was once again at his best leaving the coach with no option than to hand him a start. Furthermore Rohr believes South Africa forward Tokelo Rantie has a physiological edge over Omeruo after he literally destroyed the 24 year old few years ago in an AFCON qualifier at same venue.

Late Change in SE line up The coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has decided against fielding two players who are observing the Ramadan Fast on the same flank, and according to reports reaching Owngoalnigeria.com has decided to drop Ahmed Musa from his starting line up in favour of Moses Simon. Rohr made the call to help the team maintain their energy level on the right flank as starting Musa on the right with Shehu Abdullahi as right back means playing two players who are observing the Ramadan fast on the same flank. Gent Moses Simon will now play in a three man attack alongside Kelechi Iheanacho and Alex Iwobi in a 4-3-3 formation up The coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has decided against fielding two players who are observing the Ramadan Fast on the same flank, and according to reports reaching Owngoalnigeria.com has decided to drop Ahmed Musa from his starting line up in favour of Moses Simon.

Well let's not leave the original context. Job hunting (I will assume) and doing business are very different. komekn: |

Very bad way to start in any endeavor -- focusing only on the negatives. If those intimidiaries are serious they will start from where they have the brightest chances. Gradually their influence will grow. Success don't happen overnight. Football in UK is the most commercialized. Breaking into it will always pose a challenge. There are definitely other factors besides not being white. But winners will always find a way. Like you rightly said, "hard but not impossible". I think in every endeavor having the right skills is not automatic contrary to what many may think. there is many learning to do as u get your hands dirty in the field. I'm sure you know this. komekn: |
Networking. That's one skill many Nigerians lack. But we blame the system every time. Everyone feels nothing works so they never try -- consistently komekn: |
Stan is a force to reckon with. But Nadal carries the ace here. Hasn't dropped a set so far. Thiem too, until today -- but two sets do4luv14: |
fake world number one haha Icon79: |
Nadal up by two sets: 6-3, 6-4 one set to go? |
Nadal takes the first 6-3, and has broken Thiem for the third time to lead the second set 4-3. |
haha... oga na.. u wan take that kind risk for first half? tbaba1234: |
At the end of the day, we are all speculating. I don't see why Rohr will start Shehu and Musa especially if they would be fasting. I don't see him starting Ebuehi, if truly Ebuehi is second in the pecking order. Omeruo in RB looks more likely. I expect a few surprises. Etebo will start. Mark my words. Why is the battle between him and Ogu? Alampasu in goal is only my hope, not that i'm expecting it to happen. |
Tension Grips Super Eagles Over Lineup; Fasting Shehu's Starting Spot At Risk There is tension in the Super Eagles Le Meridian Hotel camp with Nigeria manager Gernot Rohr set to announce his starting lineup for Saturday's African Cup of Nations qualifier versus South Africa. There remains a mystery about who will get Rohr's nod at right wing-back as the German has concerns about Anorthosis Famagusta star Abdullahi Shehu, who is observing the Ramadan fast. In addition, he's faced with a dilemma whether to select John Ogu or Oghenekaro Etebo in the middle of the park, and has to choose either Moses Simon or Ahmed Musa to join Kelechi Iheanacho and Alex Iwobi in attack. ''There is tension in the Super Eagles camp, the players have not yet been informed about the starting lineup,'' a top source close to the Super Eagles team told allnigeriasoccer.com. ''Shehu Abdullahi was supposed to start at right back but Rohr is thinking of dropping him and replacing him with Ebuehi. He is fasting and may not have the energy to play the game.'' Based on the formation tried in the practice sessions, Daniel Akpeyi will start in goal, the two central defenders are Kenneth Omeruo and Troost-Ekong, Echiejile starts at left back, Onazi and Ndidi are the central midfielders. http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=23363 |
You don't know the feeling of winning the cup. Those boys will feel more English. They will now start to aspire to play for the 3 lions. It will be a thing of pride. It is psychological. Now lets all drum support for Venezuela. lol Humility017: |

I will like to see that if some of the oldies are not effective enough. They will never let go, once they get their hands on that shirt -- the newbies. tbaba1234: |
