AIG07:
When your full backs are poor and clueless.,there is nothing your wingers can do.

Shehu a full back that can not open up space to receive pass for crossing is that one a fullback?

Bascovanveli and Goldfish80, you guys are not honest with the truth. Shehu was below par. Even Idowu though not phenomenal improved on his game.

Why did you think Modric kept playing those long balls to his side. They knew Shehu was not just it.
He was caught out of position so many times. Not a single cross from him.

In short he was Echiejile on the right.

thank you, reason why moses was playing so deep, i never saw shehu open up for a pass from moses, he never ran pass him

i believe shehu is starting games because of federal character

Eleniyan15:
Is like you have taken 542!! Moses ke

So where did you put Etebo

believe what you want, moses was the only threat going forward and he help neutralise the Croatia in the right, i notice most people here don't like the young man

Humility017:
hope it has down on you...that rohr is a very smart coach....?
sometimes you guys think every light skin person is in the calibre of being a god and all knowing....

and you believe you are smarter than him by saying his not smart

who made you the judge for smart people?

people here will come back and sing new song of we still make it out of the group

Mujtahida:
Martz101 over to you.

what is there to say, iwobi can play in the flanks and the middle, but mikel is there, me and you ealry argument was about keeping iwobi on the bench until mikel is tired.

mind you few months before world cup, everyone including you believe mikel is the best person to play the 10 role, many believe mikel absent was the reason why we lost.

Sir what's you point really??

that iwobi should be kept on the bench?? because you have never believe his better than Mikel in the middle.

Like jay jay rightly said he plays in the wing in arsenal and he mustly drift in playing there, iwobi today didn't do that.

Shukusheka:
Iwobi played in the middle in the second half and we employed a different formation in the 2nd half against England.

yes it was a different formation from the first, that of a 3-5-2...he was behind ighalo

Mujtahida:
Na only you for the whole of Nigeria keeps saying Iwobi didn't play from the middle against England, only you.


Shey you saw him at his best on the wings tonight?

baba, we played 4-2-3-1 against England, if iwobi played in the middle where did mikel play

kennysville:
Av told you not to quote me again.... whats wrong with you? Stop what blame game? Maintain your lane. I don dey warn you since

they get your self out of Nairaland, you can't control who quotes you

mank1234:
I don't engage in e-war.
How many successful pass? Very wlfe
How many diving? If he passed the ball we'll move forward and he'll have no reason to fake a fall.
How many successful crosses? Not much. You may say he didn't get much support from our RB.

In my opinion he was poor. You don't have right to ask if I'm ok. State why you disagree and move on.

I'm sorry for using the wrong word, moses was our only hope of getting something out of the match, and he was always discipline enough to know when to fall back

kennysville:
Haaaa... our Weapon of Mass Destruction! Na im you scatter like that? No vex too much.
When folks were indulging the dude here saying he is our most potent threat, i talk am say make anybody no complain O. Una don dey see why being politically correct is why we couldnt win todays match

moses was our best player today, how do you watch your own football

mank1234:
-Moses was poor and should have been subbed since.
-Iwobi didn't need to go out but should have been moved to the middle.
-Shehu had no business there. His positioning and contribution has been poor in the last 4 matches.
-Etebo was very good today.
-Iheanachio should have started but from the wing.
- We should have used 352 formation, concede possession and hit them on the counter.

are you ok?

Kog45:
Sir forget all these playing Iwobi as AM,Mikel as DM,Iheanacho and Ebuehi must start.

Rohr is not a good tactician.

i don't know why is so difficult for Rohr to see that Ebuehi is better than shehu abi na our assistant coach hand work.

Shehu messed up in out friendlies and this man blamed it on fasting, moses played wing back today, shehu made he drop so deep and wide, shehu never contributed anything going forward

kennysville:
Abeg make we no dey overhype this tournament experience. This is an obvious situation. We knew where our strength lies and where our weaknesses lie. You know that we played iwobi in the middle and got a very good result at least against England. Why revert him to the wings? Who was our play maker today? Moses? Who was supposed to do ball distribution? Mikel?

Haba! The coach got it all wrong. Shikena

oga iwobi didnt play in the middle against England, we play same formation against England..stop the blame game

Kog45:
...not UAE but Qatar.I don't know why Rohr was saying is building this team for 2022 WC,not at this period,when we are having our opener tomorrow.

He should just do the needful,a good performance and at least round of 16 will give us solid foundation for 2022 WC

his playing mind game

Icon79:
Martz101, like I told you, you can take everything I say to the bank. I do my research and I have great sources in the high places as well


O pari

ok sir

Humility017:
when I said...rohr is not too a smart coach some peeps tackled me...

don't be surprised the dude fields this players tomoro.
we loosing out of the group stage gonna be rohr's fault because we have the players to spring surprise but rohr selection is damn stupid.

calm down, we know you are smarter than him

edi287:
None of those guys were Wingers and Beckham had better long range passing than all of them. This is a fact. Pirlo and Alonso were more elegant and skillful than him, but not better long passers.

pirlo and alonso were as good as him in long passing

Icon79:
It's true. For instance, are you aware that no host nation has ever lost the opening match in the world cup? And that's bound to continue this year with Russia conveniently selected to host Saudi Arabia

It's a rigged system, bro. And Michel Platini even confirmed it sef.


O pari

Russia won comfortably like you said, but I'm still looking at your theory

andrew444:
None of this player are up to nianggolan standard.......But dembele is great

Fellaini is crap witsel na ok....Nianggolan edge them out.

oga do you understand that you are not the coach of Belgium to know who he believe is better...

with you analysis is sane no better than most players in german team??

andrew444:
Leave Keshi matter we no as e b

Icardi own is better because they have aguero and higuain

Who is Belgium holding midfielder?

i gave you names of players and you chose to talk about the ones you want to, higuain and icardi was in the same league, who scored more?

Belgium has dembele,witsel and feliani

and yes you skip the question is low a bad coach for dropping Sane??

Icon79:
Oh my, the Egypt's group would've been a breeze. But FIFA knew what they were doing. I predicted before the draw that Nigeria and Morocco are going to get the toughest draws. It happens all the time - the African teams likely to make the most noise always gets drawn into the group of death.


O pari

you dont come again with your fifa conspiracy lol

andrew444:
I dey laff una,no b Croatia comot for group stage for last World Cup ?
The last time you played Uruguay did you win dem?
The way una dey judge ball tire me

you are the one judging wrongly

andrew444:
If we play the way we played in the friendlies we will not win Saudi Arabia or even the host Russia.

If you watch Germany and Saudi Arabia then you will know how good they are.

forget friendlies, germany the world champion has only one win simce last year and that wim is the 2-1 against saudi, going by that they should also be out in group stage

andrew444:
lol common,Uruguay instead of Croatia

yes I agree too

Icon79:
Nah, they were totally average. Same with the Copa America. That's why I can't understand why they are rated very highly by the pundits. Frankly, I wish we had Uruguay instead of Croatia, even though Croatia didn't impress in the qualifiers either.


O pari

The Uruguay team would have been a better draw for Nigeria, imagin us in that Egypt group

andrew444:
Common not nianggolan should be dropped,personal issues should not be bring in terms of selection.

How can you take a west brom player to the World Cup and stop nianggolan?

It's just like Belgium taking benteke and dropping lukaku.


Nianggolan is Belgium best midfielder so what are you saying?

Brazil has been inviting Chinese based players since the qualifiers,Paulinho and renato augusto,even if Paulinho didn't make Barca move he is a sure starter in that team.

this thing happens everywhere, Romario was dropped, young maradona was dropped.

baggio was dropped in 2002, low dropped Sane why not say low is a bad manager for that.

Argentina drop Icardi he was practically there best striker in Europe, and inform tevez was dropped in 2014.

keshi dropped martins in 2014, martinez dropped
nianggolan why will that make him a bad manager

gbosaa:
But 96 team was under 23 plus Uche Okechukwu, Taribo and cant remember the third over aged player. 96 was a mixed of under 23 and three over aged players while 94 was the real deal. Abacha's and South Africa's politics denied us the chance to see the 96 Super Eagles so i think 94 set was better.

when i say 1996 team was better i mean it was the combo of the best young players of the 1994...Okocha,oliseh,amokachi. then best of our experience players Amunike and Uche okechukwu and the best of our upcoming stars like ikpeba, oruma, kanu, celestine,lawal, tijani and tatibo.

it was a fine blend, in 1994 our squad players like iroha, cerezo, nwanu were already ageing

Icon79:
Bros, with the talent we had at that time, even coach Yusuf (or myself sef) would've breeze through that AFCON with ease especially with us being the host. To me, BonJo is a fraud. He wasted our golden generation of players!

How come he hasn't had any other coaching job since leaving Nigeria?



O pari

how did he waste our golden generation, he took us to 2 tournerment and he won one and was second in the other courtesy of a penalty shootout.

princfred:
Understand what nonsense? Beckham was good and fantastic enough with his uncommon abilities to be hyped and your prejudice cant dilute that.

since you can't be civil, argue with your self

andrew444:
I will not doubt Belgium to do well also

But common bro for you to call Martinez one of the best manager are u kidding me ?

Martinez drop niangollan and pick players from china,Martinez is a crappy manager.

Gernot rohr will be successful with the Belgium team full with star players

Martinez is not that of a good coach,please stop calling him one of the best

every coach has players he believe can work with him, even Low dropped sane even Brazil invited Chinese players too

asha80:
lots of people do not seem to agree with you on martinez

i know but his very tactical and have a bright future, Belgium team is a team to watch

Icon79:
The '96 Olympic team, if that's what you were referring to, were more talented than the '94 World cup team. But the '94 team play better as a team and play better football. The '96 team won matches with talents alone. It was not a well coached team. Bonfrere Jo was a piss poor coach. And he got exposed when he was made the Super Eagles coach.

Nigeria should've become a world powerhouse if our leaders had the foresight to retain Clemence Westerhof after the '94 World Cup. Rather those morons blamed him for our loss to Italy and ran him out of town. Then BonJo turned around and stabbed him at the back


O pari

you have a problem with bonfrere jo, if ikpeba scored that penalty maybe you may like him better

asha80:
well 96 wasn't strictly a national team

we know, but you understand what I'm saying, the team in Olympic 1996
