nelszx:Sir say it in analytical way and nobody will tagged you hater,honestly this thread is for us to learn and brainstorm and you might see what we don't even know,pls better to say it. Pls can you tell me why Onazi introduction brought instability to the midfield cos i thought we are not in control of that midfield even before introduction of Onazi. But i think Ogu should start ahead of Joel against Serbia and let see him again.He did it with Ndidi against Senegal,Algeria and had good game against Argentina. |
TheLoneCitizen:Yes you are right but seen Uzoho against Poland and possibly Serbia can do it regardless of their relegation battle.He has done it against Elber and Girona in LA liga this season,just saying this for the young lad to gather more experience for WC. |
andrew444:Sir thank you for this comment.I think it's time for us to differentiate analytical comments from emotional comments.If we can do it then good for this thread. I remember icon4s came out and said Ajiboye is better than Uzoho and i wasn't surprised cos i know icon4s very well he doesn't rate Uzoho and in football circle it's normal not to rate a player,no offence and with what he saw against Poland especially in the 1st half did not changed his mind. Icon4s i know is not a rigid type cos any good performance from Uzoho don't be surprised seeing him eulogising the young lad,so sometimes we need to look at the angle of our comments here before quote. I read Solace Chuckwu view on Uzoho and i saw a balance report and if that report was from any moniker here,i know some would come for his head. I read TheSuperNerd,Joebie,tbaba1234 and see solid balance review on Uzoho performance and it centred around the young man need more games to build his confidence which Solace Chuckwu was emphasising on. On Ajiboye,well you have valid point,any mistake we will still complain, that's fans for you but i think keeping in CHAN is a good experience cos i remember Enyeama and Ejide did not have any international experience before making their debuts. My call for Ajiboye inclusion is cleared for those who understand the game very well,not necessary as number one but i see him as the only keeper that will bring the best out of Uzoho not Ezenwa or Akpeyi cos if Ajiboye had the opportunity of Ezenwa or Akpeyi in Eagles i can bet it with you nobody would call for Uzoho. Uzoho as number one need deputy that will make him to always be on his toes and this happened during Westerhoff era,Agbonavbare brought out the best in Peter Rufai and we can see it at US 94,check France 98 we lack qualities on the bench and we paid dearly for it. Pls check Nigeria against Sudan,Ezenwa got injured and Ajiboye came in and gave solid performance that brought up questions that is Ezenwa better?with that Ezenwa knew Ajiboye is there and it will definitely pushed Ezenwa for better performance seeing Ajiboye on the bench. This is the rivalry i want for Uzoho as number one and with what we have now i don't see Ezenwa and Akpeyi doing that cos we have seen enough of them,unless we don't want Uzoho to grow as keeper we want at WC. In Enyimba right now Fatau Dauda is the first choice and Ezenwa performance in his first match for Enyimba was damn terrible for international keeper and brought up a lot of questions on what criteria he is always getting national team invitation but my answer is Cameroon and Zambia match,still his major weapon to national call cos he did well. Akpeyi has lost the confidence of Nigerians even me that believe so much in him,his howler against Argentina did not help his cause but Rohr still see him as good keeper just like Westerhoff kept faith with Alloy Agu. I think with Uzoho performance against Poland i will give him 50% based on quality he displayed but based on his age and experience i will give him 70% so with more matches we are having our number one and only thing that w denied him that is himself not Rohr cos manager has made up his mind to build him toward WC. But i see Ajiboye has a good quality keeper that will bring the best out of Uzoho cos the quality is there though some may not agree but that's it and my opinion. |
tbaba1234:Good that you are able to see this,the young lad need more games before WC and how i wish he move to Deportivo team A even as second choice cos this will give him opportunity again to slug it out with number one keeper. |
ykalhaji:Sir you are right and share your view but let's wait for Serbia match and see what Rohr has for us. |
andrew444:Sir there is nothing different,i know as at last year you will argue it that Uzoho will never be a first choice. Pls football is not predictable. |
[quote author=do4luv14 post=66121044][/quote]do4luv14 how ya side,just be peeping sometimes.It's well and don't relent. |
andrew444:Sir it seems you are not getting the point. My major point is that guys are free to mention players whether good or bad,no need to take it personal cos is a football thread where we need to brainstorm. Am not canvassing for call up of any of these players but just trying to tell you what brought their names up for discussion. And mind you any of them can make the team cos i have example, Mike Emenalo from nowhere made US 94 team |
ykalhaji:Sir i think we beat Poland at home which was damn good and great confidence booster though our team did not pose real threat. The 3-5-2 formation is one of the formations in football and mind you not the best formation cos sometimes it exposed a team,so sometimes we need to be cautious. Truly we beat Argentina with it but doesn't mean we can beat any team with it.We should praise the team for having different formation. On Iwobi,i will not deceive you it's not the formation that affected him and Iheanacho or are you saying they can only thrive in 3-5-2 alone,check out Ebuehi when he came in and settled in 4-2-3-1 with our believe that he is only good at 3-5-2. Good for the team to master different formations. |
Shukusheka:Sir,Mikel Obi guilty of keeping passes on the ground?pls let me hear your comprehensive analysis on this submission. |
andrew444:Sir everything centred on who to do it like Mikel and what brought this up was yesterday match. And see guys mentioning the likes of Kelechi Nwakili,Sokari,Nosa Igiebor,Esiti,Azubuike,Sunday Steven,Ajagun and Aluko,so mentioning Ajagun or Aluko should not be an issue. This is just a place to brainstorm and talk football with ease and understanding,so no need to take offence on hearing some players name as likely solutions. We are not Rohr cos we can't force any players on him but we can suggest and brainstorm. Pls let's respect people's opinions even if we are not on the same page. |
Sirjamo:Lagos boy i cite you,pls go to Abuja then you will know who is Bukola Saraki or even ask Tinubu he will tell you that Bukola is a don when it cones to politics or you think Shehu Sani is talking trash. |
Martz101:It was obvious that without Mikel we find it hard to link midfield with attacks and only way is to find solution either with our formations or searching for one. I remember Westerhoff made a lasting solution to his team with just a month to WC with Chidi Nwanu and Mike Emenalo inclusion and i think Rohr can do the same unless he is satisfied with the team performance without Mikel. Now in the team we have Ndidi,Onazi,Joel,and Agbo who am still suspecting his always inclusion without kicking ball even in friendlies,calling Mikel Agu as a replacement for Mikel leave a question ? My major question is Sone Aluko not good enough to slug it out even the young prodigy Kelechi Nwakili can be called up and let see what he can do. Just too obvious we need good AM. |
tbaba1234:I think Balogun and Ekong partnership reassured us of something great with yesterday performance especially Balogun compared to his last two games in Eagles colour.Ekong keep on improving per match. Sir why so much emphasis on Omeruo clearance though poor clearance but remember Ekong despite his good performance had the worst clearance yesterday inside 18 yard box. |
MetalJigsaw:Pls go and read my rating on Uzoho. I acknowledged his bravery on Lewandowski one on one situation and also canvass for more matches for him to build his confidence. Did i hammer the poor boy?or condemned him,pls am not a roforofo analyst. |
MetalJigsaw:. |
ANY UPDATES FROM EAGLES CAMP Pls is Mikel making Serbia match CC:tbaba1234 |
LieDetector:Sir let us be analytical here and talk football and don't let us be emotional on mere football issues. Let us learn from one another so that we can enjoy this great thread.We all watched yesterday match and is a must for us too talk about the positives and negatives of the game. Minnd you we view football differently and opinions must be differed based on individual knowledge and experience Uzoho i watched yesterday still has a long way to go and the only way out is to keep on improving in every game.Uzoho against Argentina was more confident than Uzoho against Poland,if you doubt it go and watch the two matches again. Kudos to Rohr for believing in him and this is what a good coach do and compare Ajiboye performance against Morocco with Uzoho is out of it. Pls try and swap the two, Ajiboye with great defenders like Balogun and Leon against Poland and Uzoho with defenders like Eze and Orji against Morocco team B,then we can talk. Truly Uzoho deserve our praise but any criticism should not be termed as personal cos we all want the best for Eagles. I hope to see Uzoho again against Serbia with more convincing performance. |
femianski:Sir he had average game and doesn't mean we don't want him but saying the fact. OK did Iwobi,Shehu,Idowu,and Iheanacho had a good game?they are average but doesn't mean they are not good in fact they are our future. |
elyte89:Kai bad guy but what of Uzoho |
joseph1013: |
joseph1013:Sir am not condemning Uzoho and i believe he can do bettter but with what we have in our goalkeeping dept.Dele Ajiboye deserves a chance if keepers like Akpeyi and Ezenwa are getting a look in. Ajiboye not playing?but is Ezenwa playing? Sir,Ajiboye was in goal against de sahel in the 2nd leg and even came in in the first half in 1st leg after Plateau had conceded three goals,remember the second choice was doing well in his absence due to CHAN to the extent he was rated as one of the best in the league but Ajiboye is back as number one. |
Icon4s: |
Icon4s:Hmmm Chief icon4s always happy to read your view and i need to bring this out from your post. I think we have been in this business for so long i mean watching Eagles especially our goalkeepers and we should put sentiments and emotions aside and say the truth. Sir with what i saw yesterday and with what we have presently in our goalkeeping dept,Dele Ajiboye deserves to be in Eagles squad to slug it out with Uzoho, Ezenwa and Akpeyi. Hope to see better Uzoho against Serbia |
junnyjake:It was a match that gave us the opportunity to have closer look of what we are expecting at WC and i will say not bad match but we still have a lot to do, no sentiment or emotive,the team need to tell us that they can do it without Mikel but just too obvious Mikel was a missing link yesterday. RATING 5.Uzoho Francis,I don't expect much from 19 years old boy that need experience at this stage and in the first half he remind me of early days of Austin Ejide until Enyeama came and showed the required confidence of a keeper. Truly Uzoho came into the game in the second half and blocked a close shot from Lewandowski but all in all his performance was average,there is still room for improvements and hope to see him against Serbia 5.Shehu Abdullahi was average and a little bit exposed and find it difficult to read the game and committed unnecessary foul which was avoidable but good Balogun and Ekong always on the rescued. I think Ebuhei deserves to start Serbia match and let see him in 90 minutes cos Idowu performance was way below his Argentina rating, so better to see Ebuhei starting and let have good comparison but the moment he came in i saw a tactical awareness of good RB and am suspecting Ola Aina might even gives us better options but definitely am seeing Ebuhei and Aina good options than Shehu,a makeshift player cannot be better than natural player in his position. 5.Oladapo Idowu performance was way below his rating against Argentina and good for the team though he worked tirelessly but looked suspicious with his marking and movement on the field cos Poland are not really posing any threat so i expect him to shake up things but too shy to do that but can Echijele do better?i doubt it,hope to see Elderson or Aina against Serbia. 6.5.Ndidi Wilfred was all over doing the marking but couldn't do much cos he missed Mikel in the middle but still the best in the midfield with his marking and tackles and still remain Ndidi that we can trust,very athletic and composed. 7.5.Leon Balogun showed a lot of improvement from his previous game and was good to watch with Ekong at the back,he marked well and read the game with ease,Lewandowski find it hard to have a break through and we see more understanding between Ekong and Balogun with great defensive displayed that shield Uzoho very well.A fit Balogun is damn good and we can see that today and his performance reassured me of good to come at WC with Ekong. 8.Ekong Troost was massive and solid in that match,his partnership with Balogun remind me of great partnership of Uche Okechukwu and Chidi Nwanu at US 94 though he need to work on his ball clearance even with that am seeing a very consistent Ekong and the captain band really boost his confidence. 6.Joel Obi really gave us another option and was all over doing the marking and also covered his place very well but need more game in the Eagles but glaring he can't do it simple as Mikel,his tackling were damn too rough and this point out to his injury issue but a good addition to the team. 4.5.Iwobi Alex just remind me of his 1st half performance against Argentina until he came out strongly in the 2nd half but against Poland he was shadow of himself,couldn't stamp his authority in the game.I think Iwobi need to be consistent with his performance and also need to be more serious in his game cos sometime he love playing to the gallery.In the first half he had Idowu waiting behind for a pass but Iwobi waa hell bent in dribbling his marker which was out of it.We need consistent Iwobi not on and off. 5.Iheanacho was all over trying to exert his game on Polish but was not at his best and always on the run chasing ball but find it difficult to get required service from the middle, no connection from middle to attack and this brought a lot of pressure on the attack and funny enough no cleared shot from the attack.I think he can do better. 6.Ighalo Odion worked tirelessly all through by coming to the middle to get the ball but was well marked by Polish defenders but very assuring on the ball with power but his partnership with Iheanacho need more time to gel but missed experience Mikel who know how to dictate the pace with insightful passes. 8.Victor Mose started poorly until he came into the game later on and showed us he can be a deciding factor. He took on polish with ease and his dribbling caused some discomfort for Poland and this won us a penalty converted by him but Moses should learn how to play with his mates,sometimes he killed the rhythms of the game and he should be less selfish with the ball |
Danielnino00:Sir,Uzoho ahead of Ezenwa,Idowu ahead of Elderson,Joel ahead of Onazi meaning if Aina prove himself then Echijele is out,no sentiment. |
Martz101:Hope you remember how Musa lost the captain to Mikel and vice captain to Onazi,so i don't think Musa will like to captain eagles. |
Oasis007:Sir i think this is our 6th WC appearance so what are you suggesting?cos i know my people very well. |
Oasis007:My man am not talking about winning WC but solid performance from Rohr should do the talking of contract extension till 2023. |
ChrisKels:Sorry o my oga,noted with caution and it won't be repeated again! Gaskiya. |
komekn:Yes born by welsh mum but played with Yobo for Michelen fc of Port Harcourt not Sharks. It was Albert Yobo who happened to be Yobo elder bro that played for Sharks not Joseph Yobo |
edi287:Mikel didn't played that match,he was on the bench and i remember Joel did one great flick that drew applause from spectators. |
