Is Mikel included?

Rohr predictabily will go for a 4-2-3-1 formation in that game . For the lone striker Ighalo is likely to start. And Mikel will play behind him. and of course Moses and Iwobi will play from the wings. Iheanacho not likely to start.

Good but i want Iheanacho starting,if that's not possible,meaning Onazi comes into the lineup.

Babacele:
do your research well before spewing lies you are trying to condemn. How come Tinubu's name is on the Chicago State university students' merit list ?

Pls go to archives and read about Tinubu Chicago certificate saga with late Gani Fawehinmi.I think you should remember how Lagos touts threatened Gani's life on the issue.

MetalJigsaw:
Well, I get your point. But on that Nacho wing role, we both know its more like an experimental process on Rohr's part during the WC. Nacho lacks pace and trickery... and these are basic requirements for playing that role.

Thanks.OK give me formation that will accommodate,Iwobi,Iheanacho,Moses and Ighalo in the starting lineup cos i want to see these guys against Croatia.

tbaba1234:
Player tells the coach, he is fine and passes a fitness test... Sometimes, it is not straightforward.

I think, he wanted to play badly but aggravated his injury.

Remember I said this when we had discussion on his fitness level during March friendlies especially his performance against Serbia.

I think things are getting clearer now,how on earth a player just coming back from groin injury played 90 minutes football.

This silly mistake can ruled the young man out of WC.

Icon4s:
Yekini got better with age.

That's it but can we give our young players such chance again check Kanu 1994-2010(87 caps 12 goals)5 afcon no goal and 3 WC no goal.

Sir can we do that for any promising player again, patience does it.

tbaba1234:
Ebuehi was not on the bench again... He should have pulled out of the March friendly instead of playing with the groin injury.

Pls blame Rohr.

Danielnino00:
Will Nigeria ever produce a striker like him again??

Yes but patience has been our issue.Yekini made his debut in 1982/83 and wasn't solid until 1987/88,space of 5 years.In fact he had a goal at Maroc 88 but from 1990 to 1994 Yekini became goal king.

krattoss:
Let him continue warming bench so be will be fit for us at the world cup..

He has nothing to prove again for us.

No o better for him to be playing week in week out cos fitness is all about playing time except you see his bench role as an opportunity to avoid injury cos of coming WC but remember Shehu Abdullahi is always in action for the same club.

gorefillgroup:
He worked as a medical officer in rush green hospital in England at the time u didn't even know what internet was..Give respect to who earned it, he did not even school in a corrupt country as u did, to graduate in college of medicine, university of London is not beans my friend!! Stop embarrassing people that know you by ur level of ignorance

Don't mind them they thought Saraki did it the way their Jagaban Tinubu got Chicago certificate.

johnmartus:
he didn't graduate.

Pls stop lying

Icon4s:
Sure the same "Olawale"!(In English accent).

Whao one of the promising boys then in Ilorin.

Icon4s:
That is the age he carries on his passport. Who am I to disprove it when I am not his father.

Kai make i run before tbaba1234,Humility017 and Joebie catch me.

Icon4s:
FT in Calabar: Eyimba International 2:0 Djoliba Bamako.

Goals from Isyaka Olawale and Stanley Dimgba.

That is it. The best Club in the Land.

Chief you mean Isiaka Olawale of Nigeria beach soccer team.

tbaba1234:
Iwobi and Mikel would be lovely in the middle with Ndidi playing in front of the defence. We will be able to create more chances.

Yes chances my man.

Icon4s:
He was among the 3 positives from that CHAN team. Other 2: Sunday Faleye and Peter Eneji. All 3 are less than 20 years olds. Those are the only class of players I rate in the NPFL. The rest are "Agbayas".

Peter Eneji less than 20 years?pls talk something Chief

Icon4s:
Freedom Umofoma and Ukouwem doing a good job here in Calabar.

That Ukouwem guy from the last CHAH is the current Flying Eagles captain.

He is obviously one of the major newly discovered youngsters from the NPFL this year. He is a player to watch.

Ukouwem that young LB,the guy need Europe ASAP

Icon4s:
Of course you know Enyimba has a stadium naa.Ie the Eyimba international stadium. But it is under renovation.

OK i thought it's a state stadia.

MetalJigsaw:
OK. But you think Nacho can play as a winger better than Simon?

And the AM position for Iwobi instead of Mikel? Na

Yes and Mikel should do his things with Ndidi and Iwobi ahead with Nacho and Moses WF with Ighalo as point man,forget it Croatia in trouble.

Icon4s:
Mennnn.... this UJ Esuene Stadium is not doing justice to the play of the Eyimba players.

The NPFL really need to do something about some of these match venues

Why UJ Esuene stadium?cos a brand like Enyimba should have a stadium.

Joebie:
Even Mkhitaryan was switched to a WF. Football is not static.

Yes you are right

Icon4s:
Of course he is one of my favorite players because he plays for my two favorite teams.

Meanwhile my Enyimba doing it against Djoliba of Mali. 1-0 For Eyimba 60mins in Calabar.

Chief i dey do elyte89 on you.

Enyimba need to score more cos i trust Old Enyimba of Enyeama and Aiyenugba in away match than present Enyimba.

TheSuperNerd:
As a WF (Wing forward), Nacho will also thrive. And In a Elder Sir Kog45's 4-3-3, Nacho will play WF and not winger.

Thank you TheSuperNerd

Humility017:
how many match have you ever seen nancho play as a winger...?
and what was his impact in those games...
these players should not be misfit for any roles...during this world cup...it so sure affect their productivity...
the world cup is not for testing these players on this various roles.... but put them in roles that best suit them...

for me...besides CF role...nancho best suit SS/AM role....
he can as well come in for Ighalo during the second half....or depends on the opponent' he can as well start ahead of him.

Sir you are right.My formation is not to suit any player but to get result.

I remember Westerhoff did it against Zambia when Finidi failed woefully in the first half and he did unusual by introduced Samson Siasia in the same first half who we all believe is not a winger and he did it well.

Also against South Africa in Lagos Bonfrere Jo did unusual and start both Finidi and Tijani and this destabilised SA and before they know what was going on they are down.

I want goals against Croatia and i need Nacho,Moses and Ighalo to start.

MetalJigsaw:
You mean Nacho plays as a winger?

I know you will ask but i want total onslaught against Croatia and only the trio of Nacho,Moses and Ighalo fit the bill just like Nigeria did against Bulgaria at US94 and with Mikel,Iwobi and Ndidi in the middle am seeing Croatia conceding goals.

Humility017:
Sir...the Algeria match ought to have made you know that nancho can't play as a winger....
he does not have the pace and trickery to play that role....
replace nancho with...iwobi, Moses Simon, musa....

I will rather have Nacho over Simeon and Musa though my opinion.

MetalJigsaw:
Uche Agbo starts for Standard Liege.

St. Liege v Genk

Naso d guy dey start but for Eagles na permanent bench with no minutes appearance under Rohr

Icon4s:
Iwobi my boy!!!

Kai chief icon4s,Iwobi know him papa o.

MetalJigsaw:
What role did you place Nacho?

I want Ndidi,Mikel and Iwobi in the middle and Nacho,Moses and Ighalo doing it upfront.

MetalJigsaw:
That game will be so intense.

What would be your prefared lineup?

Remember 35 man list not yet out to make 23 man list but based on our qualifiers and friendlies,this is my lineup.

1.Goalkeeper.....?

2.Shehu Abdullahi

3.Bryan Idowu

4.Ndidi Wilfred

5.Leon Balogun

6.Ekong Troost

7..Alex Iwobi

8.Mikel Obi

9.Odion Ighalo

10.Kelechi Iheanacho

11.Victor Moses.

Kanu: Good Result Vs Croatia Crucial To Eagles’ Progress At Russia 2018
May 6, 2018 1:13 pm


Former Nigeria captain, Nwankwo Kanu, has urged Super Eagles to get ready with fine form ahead of their first game against Croatia at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, warning that the match is as important as the final to Nigeria, Completesportsnigeria.com (CSN) reports.

The former Arsenal forward who has organised a five day basketball clinic which started on May 5 for Nigerian youths, says beating Croatia should be the Super Eagles’ priority.

According to Kanu, victory in the match will give the Super Eagles confidence to face Iceland and Argentina in their subsequent games.

“The World Cup is fast approaching and soon everyone of us will be busy watching games and that is the joy of the tournament,” the former Super Eagles captain told CSN .

“We have to be very serious with the first game which is against Croatia and that is why I will urge our strikers to make sure they play aggressively to score goals and win the match. It is the first game but it should be taken as the final of the World Cup. If you start a tournament with victory, you will have confidence to play other games.

“I believe we have the players that can make it possible but they have to believe in themselves and also go for it. We can beat any team if we really give our best.
“None of the teams in our group is unbeatable and I hope the players will prepare their minds towards that” concludes Kanu.”

Nigeria will play Croatia on June 16 at the Kaliningrad Stadium, do battle with Iceland on June 22 at Volgograd Arena before facing Argentina on June 26 at Krestovsky Stadium Saint Petersburg in their last group game.

Croatia match too important cos is a decider and it will definitely determine our WC hope.

pinkyruledworld:
Land for Ijebu ode and Land for Lekki no be mate o

Definitely Land is more expensive in Lekki than Ijebu but we still have areas in Lekki that you can get it at cheaper rate compare to the main Lekki,the house is situated at outskirts of Lekki,so the house and the Land not worth 200m.

Preshy561:
he thinks he can bottle Imolites like saraki did in kwara.

Pls don't compare intelligent(Saraki) and foolish(Okorocha)politician.Saraki went against his father who wanted his sister to succeed him as governor but Rochas want his son in law to succeed him,stupidity.
