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?

I was late to the game. I will make my assessment after the match.

TheGoodJoe:
The central defence pair is simply romantic. Awaziem and Ekong are amazing on the ball, defensively strong and aware.

Onazi has been brilliant tracking back. Almost flawless. He has made tidy long passes but some terrible final balls.

Etebo showed brilliant skills running but his final ball has let us so down. Iheanacho has made some brilliant runs to give us the edge but the final balls to him have been awful and laid us down.

Ndidi showed some good sides but his running along with Onazi put the central defence under a lot of pressure.

Echiejile showed good work rate but he is leaving a lot of gap. He caused Awaziem to leave his zone to help cover the wide gaps on our left side.

Exactly what Siasia said as regards Iwobi

Famocious:
I really prefer John Ogu to him ...
I can't really feel Iwobi's impact in this game, he is better as a midfielder than playing on the wings ..

Cover up by owngoalnigeria.com after missing the lineup

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.

Well let's not leave the original context. Job hunting (I will assume) and doing business are very different.
komekn:
Not focusing on the negatives but being very aware of those dynamics creating the contingency and strategy to get around them is giving yourself competitive advantage and a better chance of success.


In my main professional vocation in the UK 95% of the time I am usually the most qualified experientially, with the highest level of professional certification and the most qualified academically. I do not work in IT.

I have learned to exceed the benchmark in order to get ahead. I don't wallow in self pity or defeatism but get going and if I have to climb mountains that my Caucasian peers don't have to, it's just the way it is. I don't get bitter ( well try not too) I just get ahead.

I might be British by birth and legally speaking however I'm still black can't hide that. And of course Naija to the core.

Sorry for slightly philosophical deviation

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 in Nigeria and networking in the UK are totally different add to the mix being black and you got your work cut out.

Finally, you often project from your social circle. How many black managers deh English football. How many recruitment heads are black in the league system.

You see d wahala.

Hard but not impossible got to be versatile and ingenious.

Networking. That's one skill many Nigerians lack. But we blame the system every time. Everyone feels nothing works so they never try -- consistently

Everything you say is correct.

But I would qualify it with one over riding phrase.

WHO DO U KNOW.


I know multiples of agents who have registration but don't know anybody. Indeed this is not too sound conceited but they often come to me.

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.
