TheGoodJoe:

I disagree on the changes. The change pulling out Nacho for Ighalo was awful. Musa was the best option out and bringing in John Ogu. While Etebo pairs with Nacho upfront, contributing a lot to defending.

The Iwobi change was also another poor call. Rohr needs to grow some balls and also make better changes to suit the team. We can do better if Rohr can just take his foot off the brakes.

so Musa should have gone out when he was not showing any sign of getting tired and Nacho should stay on abi?? why are we always putting our love for one player ahead of the team??

why bring Ogu and then pair Etebo with nacho up front and kill the team chemistry and movement, the ogu you are bringing in will play ahead of mikel or what??

you believe you know more than Rohr with this your laughable analysis? baba go rest

TheGoodJoe:
I hope Rohr does not make the kind of changes he made when we went 2 goals up. Those kind of substitutions could lead to a disaster and us throwing away the lead. He could have brought in more defensive players like Ogu to help secure the goals than exposing us. The worst was Etebo for Iwobi. It should have been Musa for Ogu.

how is iwobi for Etebo bad, Etebo was the number 10 yesterday. i thought we all think iwobi is a number 10 too?

Oasis007:


Bruh.... let's forget it coz it seems we are still celebrating the Victory. But do you know we were very Poor in the first Half?!

I wish you can re-watch the first Half of the Match. Perhaps you can have a rethink!

We were not poor in the First half, football is like a game of chess, that first half was tactical. Rohr don't want to make mistakes and second half he decided to take all the risk he can.

eterisan:
Personally I don't see any inconsistency..... Rohr is slow to change even when it's visible to the blind. He killed us against Croatia by starting 4231 with Mikel further forward, shehu and ighalo starting with iwobi on the wings......

352 is our best bet.... Though most didn't see Moses playing the RWB.... Or Mikel dropping deep..... Rohr won this game of chess against the Icelanders today...... We have to wait and see what he has in store for the Argies.

how did he kill you with the 4-2-3-1, this has been his preferred formation, that formation brought us to worldcup, mikel was the 10 in the previous games and iwobi played in the wing in his clubs and qualifiers...

Rohr deserves some accolade, he started the 3-5-2 in Nigeria, most of our home base coach won't try that, his changes are always spot on. this man can't do all what we want.

and for thos saying Rohr is inept now they can eat there words

Same man tagged as Coward and Too conservative here.

asin the inconsistency is too much here

ykalhaji:
Oh you wan talk say you no see him corner kick when Leon Balogun almost headed in

Chief leave story.

even the coach notice, the second half etebo took over

ChrisKels:
Sometimes u talk like u borrow ur brains. I am talking about exchanging passes and initiating attacks and u are here comparing his free kicks and that of Moses.

What has this ur quote got to do with the question I asked?

if there is someone with a borrowed brain then is you, kpagolo fan, next minute you are here and next you are there

ChrisKels:
U sure Simmy can exchange those quick one - two passes Kelechi was giving out? Can Simmy track back into the midfield to orchestrate attacks and still rush back to the front, quick enough like KC was doing?

Just a simple question

nacho did not play well, his free-kick were very poor, moses indirect freekick was better than his.

i remember when so many moniker in this thread called out this same musa, some said he usually run past the ball and should be dropped, now they are all hailing him.

Naso life be, the rejected stone is now the chief cornerstone

ChrisKels:
My left yansh

Until u bring a proof, lock up

which prove, everyone saw your unnecessary rant

jhorjhor:
What I'm saying is that If we're gonna win today ..we have to be prepared to go all the way against Argentina.


Cos if we should today..they have a huge chance by beating us...so we have to be up for it

I'm sure you won't say this after the match

jhorjhor:
"I think it will happen. Nigeria is going to beat Iceland and there you will have the chance to beat Nigeria and pass, as long as Iceland does not win against Croatia."

-Diego Simeone on argentina's chances



I just hope we wont be doing argentina a favor by winning today

we are doing our self a favour

Jarus:
He meant to say 2 non-natural strikers.

Musa is a striker, he plays the striking role for cska Moscow and Nacho is also a striker

Joebie:
So if Nigeria wins this World Cup, Cameroon is will be seen as the best. Okay you are correct. We can move on now.

and we can also say greece was the best team in Europe in 2004 very interesting

How can you be comparing legends with our....?
Take ya time ooooooo.

bros i said he should learn from them, how does that mean compare?

BascoVanVeli:
Did you watch Kun against Croatia? Now that was poor. Ighalo actually touched the ball and was engaged in our game. For a player to be clinical there has to be a chance created. I want Iheanacho to join but not take over because if we can't hold up the ball we won't be able to play and would then have to resort to aimless long balls.

very good observation, ighalo was starved. but i think he should learn from some strikers like ibrahimovic and drogba they tend to come deep to pick the ball and make things happen

tbaba1234:
Another starting line-up, this time by OGN

Uzoho
Omeruo
Ekong
Balogun
Victor Moses
Brian Idowu
Ndidi
Etebo
Mikel
Musa
Iheanacho

Ebuehi must really he terrible on training..ebuehi is yet to make a competitive appearance for Nigeria, if that young lad reject Nigeria future callup i won't blame him

Joebie:
Same applies to Iceland and Argentina as it stands. We go talk more after tomorrow match.

yes everyone can go through

TheSuperNerd:
Nna ehn... Are you just hell bent on talking and talking? Or is it because you haven't forgotten how you were scolded for repeating stuffs to my face only if you had read?

Look... This is so simple. Nobody wanna play France abi... You were talking about Croatia. But I came and said... "Well I do wanna play France anyway"... Don't you understand the fun and tact in what I did? Honestly, if you don't I cannot help you with it. Not my fault.

i was scolded?? you smoke?

abeg e don do because even if i vex i can't express it online, forget it.

Joebie:
Good. If, and hopefully we will.

going out of that group is still in our hands.

TheSuperNerd:
And what did you say? That you read my words and still repeated same stuffs I already said to my face. This is not the same. This is me jumping in with my hands raised saying... "I want France." It is you who is not even understanding what I did.

this is not the case of repeating same stuff this is the case of defiating, no matter how you make it look, the talk was not about Nigeria and you got it all wrong..we were talking about where the motivation for Croatia against Will cime from

TheSuperNerd:
I only quoted your words, "Moreover, nobody wants France."

I was just playing picking on just that and saying, "...hands raised here, I actually do want France" even though you were speaking for Croatia.

So it changes nothing about the bottom line... Me, personally, myself and I want France. We cannot avoid it sef coz the best we can get to qualify is second but truth is it is what I have been hoping for even before the WC began. You read me now? So, I do

SMH, you remember when we had a little argument and you were like if i actually read up it will save us the long talk, i want you to advice your self on that, read up before you jump to some talks

TheSuperNerd:
Lol... Come on, I got you even from a long way out. I know what you mean. No team wanna face France... That is what you mean. But I am saying "I do". I actually have been hoping for a France Vs Nigeria Round of 16 reloaded. It will be the match of the round.

in the context i said that was not for Nigeria that's why you are way off, someone said Croatia vs iceland might be sold or manipulated and i said the motivation of escaping France will lead them on, common think

COOL10:
. I don't think anyone has complained of Idowu here. If so,then you can't say he's not better than Echiejile. In fact Idowu is WAY better than Echiejile.

he need to start showing it, not by mouth

TheSuperNerd:
I do.

you don't understand what i actually mean, like Croatia will want to win icland to avoid the first place team frnace, you too dey rush nerdy

kingphilip:
if Croatia should forgive them for topping them in the qualifiers then there's a problem

moreover nobody want france

Joebie:
Kai what we did Spain in 98. See as we dash Paraguay win. Very painful

if we win them tomorrow then our Destiny will be in our hands

forgiveness:
Onazi and Echijele are good. That is why dey are in the team.

thanks for this, idowu has not shown his better than Echiejile

Mujtahida:
instead of playing him on the wings let him seat on the bench. it depresses me to see that boy go anonymous in matches he plays from the wings. etebo can play there. iwobi should never be deployed to the wings again abeg!

the wings and the middle, where had iwobi played more in his career??

we know his best in the middle, but even in his club he plays by the side so what's wrong in deploying hin in the same place he plays for his club?

Icon4s:
I laugh when people say Iwobi is not effective from the wings so put him on the bench.

The alternative should be assigning him a more central role.

You cannot have a player with Iwobi's abilities in this kind of Super Eagles team and you start him on the bench.

Bench Iwobi and start Musa Kwa?

exactly my view

goldfish80:
Really? An injured Iwobi was on the bench against Cameroun, home and away, then he limped to the pitch with the injury and scored against Zambia.

iwobi was not on the bench against cameroon
