TheLoneCitizen:
He is the only box to box player in that team, he has the best work rate. He knows how to dribble, he knows how to shoot.


In totality, he has at least a bit of every player except a goalkeeper. From mad tackling to explosive pace. Is this reason enough?

My Brother from another Mother won't kill me tonight with Laughter. Are you saying you need Box2Box Midfielder in a 3 - 4 - 1 - 2 Formation.....?! LMAO!

The 2 DMs are meant to shield the Defence and cover for the overlapping Wing-backs, thus you do not need a B2B Midfielder coz you play more on the Wing, occasionally through an AM who plays free-role with major responsibly of linking the Defence to the Attack, as well as creating Goals if Opportunity beckons.

Mikel can't play for 90mins Bruh, hence your favored Player (Etebo) can come in to replace him or Iwobi in the 2nd Half. Moreso, Etebo thrives not as a DM or CM rather as a RMF, LMF, SS, RW, LW - in short he's utility Player. He's simply a makeshift DM/CM in GWG just like Shehu as a RB.

Bolowolowo:
Would this work?? Any thoughts??

Jah bless you Bruh. But I will play Moses as a LWB cos I do not trust Idowu for the Job. Let Tyrone plays as a RWB.

TheLoneCitizen:
I would accept no lineup without Etebo.

Give Reasons pls.

ChrisKels:
If I slap u eh!!

Lol bro I'm not married yet.

Are you seeing the Belgium match?

Senior Bruh.... Guess Madam is offline at the moment?! We all know for Rohr to play to the Team's - 3 - 5 (4 - 1) - 2 is the Answer. Swiss played 3 - 5 - 1 - 1 to good Effect Yesterday too.

Mujtahida:
Nothing pained me more than the bolded. With all their star studded team, they played nonsense. We scored for them. They won with that kind of lacklustre performance from stellar players. It felt like cheating

Bruh..... what Rohr did against Croats can be likened to what Mourinho did against Sevilla in the UCL. Sometimes a Tactician shouldn't play his Tactics to nullify your Opponents, rather play to your Team's Strength.

I swear it's never lost for the Eagles. I had to re-watch the Combo of Mikel and Onazi at the 2014 World Cup with Babatunde as a No. 10, and what comes to my Head is; Ndidi and Iwobi are a bit better than Onazi and Babatunde of 2014.

Pair Mikel with Ndidi, let Mikel plays as a deep-lying Playmaker cos he gets eyes for long, decisive and accurate passes. He can shield the Ball, cool the tempo and coordinate the Defence.

No one tackles better than Ndidi in the Squad, he's young, athletic, fit and can tirelessly cover grounds like Kante. With Iwobi as an AM, he's definitely gonna create something from nothing.

Also we need to play with 2 Strikers - Ighalo for his better and proven Holdup plays and Iheanacho for his decisive off-ball Movements and eyes for Goal.

Tyrone and Moses should play as Wing-backs, with the Trio of Ekong, Balogun and Omeruo as CBs. I didn't include Ogu in the Defence coz I ain't sold he can play the CB effectively in a competitive Game.

3 - 4 - 1 - 2 Formation is all what Rohr needs to bring out the best in the Boys. I hope he listens to ex-internationals, Pundits and Fans who are clamoring for the Formation to be played in the next Game - cos if he fails with the same 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 with Mikel as an AM for the Team - Lord...... he's gonna see the other side of Nigerians.

Mujtahida:
This guy you bad oo

The Dude just pressed ignored Button. Prior to the Match, Jay Jay said every Nigerian is a Coach...... he's right after all.

The last thing that should ever come from certain Monikers is calling Rohr an ineffectual Buffoon or calling for his Sack. The Monikers that could die for Rohr few Weeks ago?!

I was never sold on Rohr if my Records on this Thread are to go by. I love Siasia a lot and always come to the Defence of late Keshi anytime he's accused or under-appreciated.

So telling me Rohr flopped with the Lineup, Formation and Tactics shouldn't be born out of Emotion rather with Facts.

ChrisKels:
Coming from a man who called him clueless white Onigbinde. Your hypocrisy no be here oo

Read well Bruh I didn't exonerate myself or claimed I wasn't a Victim too. Check the Monikers I listed, did I put myself on the List?!

Yes I called him white Onigbinde, but can you atleast dig out a Post where I called him clueless?!

Though this is a Faceless Forum, but I'm convinced you are an Adult, cos you are a married Man. My Advice; endeavor to control your Emotion and stay off saying or doing things when you are in anger Mood.

Thanks.

Some Monikers really amazed me. I thought they religiously believe in Rohr, trust his Project and ready to stand by him even if he fails at this World Cup.

They preached severally to us not to be fickle-minded, just in case things go south at the Mundial. They tagged Rohr the second coming of Messiah, and the best thing to ever happen to Nigeria Football - post-Westerhof Era though.

Alas! They keep wailing more than bereaved. They keep lamenting, gnashing Teeth, ready to tear down Rohr and his Project. My Point is; why are they preaching what they can't practice?!

Some Monikers are looking up to them cos they are Homies on this Thread, but they've failed those who believed in their loyalty and patriotism.

TheSuperNerd, Michael2, Mujtahida, Tbaba1234, Joseph1013, Komekn, Icon4s, Forgiveness, and some other notable Monikers weren't as well happy with the Result, but didn't discard Rohr, the Project and the Players because of the Match.

They analyzed the Match, where it went wrong, and suggested tactical Solutions to avoid another negative Result in our next Game. They ain't cursing or insulting Rohr or the Coaching Crew, they picked the talking-points, analyzed it, debated it and already move unto the next Match.

Pls Eagulians, enough of wailings. Let's go back to pre-world Period. Let's believe again...... coz in a Game of Football - Nothing is Impossible..

superbouck:
Croatia 2 - 0 Nigeria
Nigeria 3 - 2 Argentina

When dem say drink responsibly, una dey take am for joke ba?!

Nice one Bruh...... I hope it comes to pass. To some Doubters like unlimited22, Diggz and Co, you need to learn to support the Eagles - they are our Brothers!

Agbakolly:
Be careful when you are dealing with naija police.........Legit or not dos Bastard fit shoot person

No be Today I don dey deal with them Bruh. There was a time they followed me to my Hood, because I wasn't with my ID.

Seize the moment to search everywhere, asked for my Workplace ID, and other IDs..... they eventually left with their Heads between their Legs.

sod09:
na only for house the guy get mouth... imagine he say he wan invest with the money fah,my siblings say he should drop something for them he refused.
People like that na outside them they teach them lesson,the only thing is o was involved in this one

Tell am make he invest the Money asap, cos next time it might be him alone.

Unlimited22:
One positive from the Brazil game is that Neymar1095 won't come here and start telling us how his Lord and master is the best thing to have happened in this world since the invention of sliced bread.

Neymar is best described as a brazilian Moses. He singlehandedly destabilized and killed the Team.

Nihilstjnr:
That's way too much to give away on normal AK obtaining levels.

even the 20k and watch that he gave out last last gaan go dey turn my belle.

If I read his post correctly, man didn't actually do anything wrong in the first place.

you only pay that much if you're settling a big crime you were caught commiting, or to halt an investigation.

That's a lot of money mehn

Exactly!
When Sod was ranting and cursing the RRS Officers for extorting them the said Amount, honestly I didn't believe it. I remember jokingly asked him if he's Anti-Riot cos he made mention of 7 Figures in his Account.

If his Brother earned the Money in a legit Way, he wouldn't be panicking and bullied to pay that Sum as simple as that. Money wey I sweat to earn, I go just dash SARS Officers like that?! Bruh....... I go die there!

Humility017:
mikel in the AM role...depends...I can as well sub him for etebo if there be need for more fluidity in the midfield.....and introduce ogu to take etebo place in the CM role...

Ighalo will be removed for nancho who spear head the attack with nancho....


Moses play the wing back role...on the left and ebuehi play the wing back role from the right.......

achieving results with the super eagles calls for flexibility

I'm beginning to enjoy you now Bruh. Can you present your Formation and Lineup against the Iceland pls?! Also the Tactics you gonna use to suppress, break and defeat them?!

Nihilstjnr:
250k!

you mean your brother gave out 250k of his legally earned money?

talk true, your aburo sef dey press laptop.....

you'd have to kill me to obtain that money if I knew I got it legit

That was my first Response to him, but someone wanted to come for my Head.

sod09:
We got the money back 250k,my brother na real ote na shame catch am tell us 150k b4....them even comot wrist watch
We sha gave them 20k plus the wrist watch
The SO too 10k
50k comot from the money sha.....better than none
Cc diggz, nihilistjnr,oasis007,eph12 et al

If we didn't chide you, you would have forgone the Money as a Zakat. Won't you drop something to appreciate Dudes here?!

Humility017:
I will tweak the formation....later from 60 mins should there be no goals....
I will use simmy or nancho instead of Ighalo....

You are comfortable with Mikel as an AM instead of Iwobi?! Shehu and Ighalo also to start the Match, though I guess in your favored 3 - 5 - 2 Formation?

Where are you gonna play Moses? Iwobi....??!

Humility017:
I tell you..... a German is in charge now...
a very organised tactician...who wanna make name for himself and not money...

Humility017:
when I said rohr was not a smart coach...some peeps came for my head....

he deserve coach the likes of Madagascar because that's the best he deserves... so annoying his cluelessness gonna cost us good outing in this world cup

Humility017:
yeah sure...they're others who have done better....
but when one take a swipe at his [Etebo] few months experience playing in la liga already played with crots la liga stars ..his work rate and ability to combine well with mikel upfront...passing accuracy.... one will give him a go ahead... also he barely make rough tackles
against Croatia I will want him [Etebo] play.... combine well with ndidi in the middle...
anyway let's see how the friendlies and rohr camping scheme turns out...

I do not aim to taunt you, but you suggested the Duo of Ndidi and Etebo to form a defensive midfield Pivot and Mikel as an AM against the Croats - yet you keep blaming Rohr for the Loss.

If you are in charge, what would you have done Difference if I may ask pls?! Tweaking the Formation or changing the Personnel?!

I think the Swiss are playing 3 - 5 - 1 - 1 Formation?!

TheSuperNerd:
Sebi you just saw his pass to coutinho... You don't buy such class naa.... Victor moses is a top player for us but the gap in class between his impact factor and Neymar's is as far as the east is from the west...

Take note...

He's a top Player I agree, but he's damn show-boating too much. He's not playing for the Team, but to the Gallery.

Brazilian Moses needs to be subbed off. He's killing the Team with his selfish Play.

Brazil vs Switzerland Tonight at 7pm gonna be a Cracker. I specifically wanna watch Manuel Akanji whether he's as great a CB like Alaba as a LB.

It's obvious the useless Pig was high on Codeine to have predicted Nigeria to reach the Semi-Final.

Hope dey don use am do Barbecue. See Football....... OMG!

Mujtahida:
all this inverted guys i dont like them. i prefer wingers who can cross abeg. there's an economy about crosses that i like:it saves time, energy, puts the opposition under stress and make them prone to mistakes.

Lol!

Mujtahida:
i dont think aina is a good LB or rather we can get better LB.

i dont fancy onyekuru as a winger for nigeria .all this wingers who cannnot cross are the ones who have made our game a one way affair. there's nothing more problematic in football than crosses.

He ain't a natural Winger, rather an inverted Winger with responsibility to cut in and either lay a Pass or Shoot at Goal.

Time to watch very organized Teams. Time to appreciate the works of a real German who deeply and professionally understands the Game.

Fellow Eagulians, we got what we deserved in the Match - 0 Point. We played nothing, we didn't play like Professionals at all. It was like Rohr just picked 11 Players and asked them to win the Match on their own.

There is nothing Positive to pick from the Match except we wanna fool ourselves. We need to compare other Teams with us, it's like Oshodi FC locking on with Arsenal FC - we are indeed disorganized as Javier Pointed out.

We were harmless, toothless and careless. No zeal at all from the Players to win the Match. No cohesion, lame attacking-threat, shambolic Display, poor positioning and off Ball Movements; Nothing really is positive. The worst part is Mikel; he was lost, completely lost and couldn't be found.

Mujtahida was right, we played Naija Team, not a typical Nigeria Team. The Croats locked up the middle, and no one in the Midfield could unlock it. Had Iwobi played as an AM, he would have been positive for the Team.

Everyone knows what's good for the Team, except Rohr. I hope he tweaks his Philosophy as TheGoodJoe opined, otherwise this World Cup gonna be worse than the 2002 Edition.

Odunayaw:
I was about to sentence you to the gallows until I saw the bolded

How easy is it for you.. Was this not the same Mikel,Balogun etc that dazzled through the qualifiers? Is it not in this same thread that some people were bleating about Iheanacho, I remember clearly "He has a poor first touch" and the other vitriol. It honestly becomes hard to take anyone serious with the emotional see-saw one sees here

Thanks for sparing my Head, don't ever want it to end up on a Spike... LOL!

Icon4s:
O boy chill fes. World Cup nova finish.

Boss..... just wanna divert Attention away from the Loss.

TheGoodJoe:
The honest truth is that Rohr is not a creative attacking coach. I do not think he is the answer to our problems. If he changes philosophy, I will route for him.

Finito.

Yeah.... he's not but with little Changes in his Backroom, he's gonna get it right. I implore NFF to draft in Siasia as Assistant Coach of the Super Eagles, and a Coach of the Home-based Eagles.

Salisu is already appointed as U23 Team, thus he's not needed in the main Eagles coaching Crew anymore, and I wouldn't mind him to be assisted by Kalika.

I advise we lower our Expectation on this Team and hoping for a Miracle to happen against Iceland and Argentina.

There are lots to pick from the first Match;

1 - I want Rohr to be retained not sacked no matter the outcome of our performance in this Competition.

2 - This should Competition should be the last Appearance for Mikel, Akpeyi, Echiejile, Ighalo, Ogu, Shehu, Moses, Idowu, Onazi, Musa, Balogun and perhaps Ezenwa. They should retire from International Football honorably after this World Cup.

3 - Ebuehi and Aina should be our RB and LB respectively, then we can scout for their Backups.

4 - Nwakali Brothers, Tosin should be drafted as Midfielders. Eze, Oyenkuru, are needed as Wingers in the Squad.

5 - in the striking Position, only Kayode I hope he becomes an integral part of the Team.

My Post-World Cup List for the Eagles;

1 - Uzoho
2 - Ebuehi
3 - Aina
4 - Ndidi
5 - Ekong (C)
6 - Omeruo
7 - Moses Simon
8 - Etebo
9 - Kayode
10. Nwakali K.
11. Oyenkuru
12. Adarabioyo
13. Musa Muhammad
14. Iheanacho
15. Awaziem
16. Alampasu
17. Eze
18. Iwobi
19. Ryan Sanusi
20. Nwakali C.
21. Amuzie
22. Kehinde
23. Okoye


Mind you........ this is strictly a Suggestion, pls don't come for my Head, just wanna divert our Attention away from the Loss.

ChrisKels:
What has that got to do with him being the first and only one that clamored for him?

Yes Ebuehi is his boy as much as Awaziem and Uzoho are my boys but I will never credit myself as the person who forced the hand of the NFF over their invitations respectively.

LMAO...... Guess you know the same Tyrone you preferred over Shehu as a RB was first suggested by Forgiveness?!

You need to take a Break Bro. Did I say he had a Hand in his Invitation?!
