Stormtrooper11:
Right now, in any important Super Eagles match, I'll always prefer Henry Onyekuru to Samuel Chukwueze.
In matches, we need the end products. The dribbles and skills, are other additions. We should stop depending on the Centre Forward alone, to give us goals. We need Wingers that score. IMHO, Onyekuru is the better winger.

Yeah forget about the club ratings. Onyekuru is highly efficient in the final third of the pitch. His stats show it. He can easily get us goals and assists. But our ejuke and nonsense coach may not see it

You watched the football this evening? Both teams struggled to string passes together, the difference in football iq is astronomical it is not even about infrastructure, well that's a matter for another day

Yeah the football iq and knowledge if tactics is the problem. This is why Nigerian league players and black African players struggle in Europe despite their natural talent. In fact, imama akpabio stated the fact that npfl players don't understand basic the ngs about tactics and formation. Coaching bid a great problem for African youths in football.
A 12 year old boy playing football in Europe had more tactical knowledge than a 21 year old Nigerian league player.
When they get to Europe the tactical deficiencies are noticed and problems start as they have to learn very fast

Watch how our P.E teacher will drop him in the next qualifiers and pick only 3 midfielders like he does

Simply put we have a coaching problem. Rohr needs help as a coach.

Confirmed lineup.

Okoye

Shehu Awaziem Omeruo, Collins

Bonke, Kingsley

Musa

Simon Osimhen Ejuke

4-3-3

Musa as the creative midfielder.

Saw it on owngoal and they are always right.

Musa is better off as a winger. Ejuke should be the creative midfielder. Apart from that the formation is good.

My opinion in Ahmed Musa

Musa can be very good on his day. There are two Musas the one of the 2014 and 2018 world cup and a lacklustre Musa.
However, in difficult situations like this the real Musa of the world cup shows up. Rohr just needs to work on his psyche and mentality. Musa is unplayable when in the mood and he thrives when the team needs a leader.
I believe Musa will prove himself today as he rises to the occasion when it is needed

jargooflife912:
he join one of the biggest club over there they really love him and gave him their citizenship

Actually, a lot of our players will start playing for foreign nations. Particularly those who
spend too much time in obscure leagues or moreover, strikers as we are producing
too many strikers and wingers.
For example, Stephen Gopey (a former Npfl player) is doing well in Ukraine (which is a top 10 league in Europe)
but with the way we are producing strikers, he may end up playing for Ukriane as it may take sometime
before our coaches notice him.
This is why i laugh at those against us using foreing born players. In modern sports anybody can play for anybody
and with the mass migration that is a feature of the modern world, playing for another country is possible.


Meanwhile watchout for Ahmed Abdulahi the boy was part of our last u-17 and big European teams
are chasing him up and down. Dortmund, Marseile etc are after him during one of his training sessions
in Europe it was reported he scored 15 goals in 2 days. scorenigeria.com.ng is covering his development.
The boy is only 17 and the hype around him is very big. He is a striker (another testament to the large amount
of striking talent we are developing)

Ppogbae:
Who’s gonna distribute to our forwards? We haven’t solved our AM issue and all we have left are DMs.

Ejuke can manage that. He is the closest thing we have to am.
Ha u have a crazy idea. Why not try Daniel Francis dada from our u17. He is part of Bayern Munich world selection for talented youngsters. Maybe even Samson tijsni. Our u17S can stake a claim here

TheSuperNerd:
Unconfirmed reports out of Cape Verde are saying Kalu and Ebuehi tested positive for Covid.

Are we sure this isn't another one of those "Lori iro" moments just to weaken our lineup ahead of Tomorrow? Time will tell if this report stands.

If the test is false and it is proved they are trying to weaponize the covid tests, there should be an automatic 3 point deduction for them

TheSuperNerd:
Musa will very likely start. Know this and know peace.

Onuachu won't start. It will likely be Simon, Musa and Kalu behind Osimhen.

Personally I would prefer a trio of Simon, Ejuke and Kalu behind Osimhen because we need as much creativity as we can squeeze out from the available options to support Victor in CV. Musa is more of a runner and Victor doesn't need another runner.
But shaa, we should just get ready to see Musa lead our lads out tomorrow. Almost inevitable.

Midfield will definitely have Shehu pending any last min change. Question is who pairs Shehu? Bonke or Kingsley. Time will tell.

The backline picks itself except that Collins will keep his place at LB. Ebuehi, Awaziem and Omeruo will come in to replace the lads from the first game.

According to owngoalnigeria, kalu will play the no 10 attacking midfield role. I have always thought that either ejuke or kalu can play as attacking midfielders but I was not sure but it seems Rohr is seeing things my way.
As per kalu, he is underrated. He can play a lot of posulitions. U remember his performance in afcon qualifiers against south Africa where he played as a wing back. He was imperious in that match. If kalu can at 10 as I have always suspected then it shows why he is such a valuable player.

Joebie:
Rohr has been tinkering this team for over 4 years now, and they have played in various surfaces and conditions. He knew ahead of time that we will miss several players for the Cape Verde tie, before naming his squad. He's been working with a large pool of players for all these years. We have depth that he should have tested well enough prior to this very moment. He has no excuse not to win in Cape Verde. I will take a draw ONLY because I do not have high expectations of him. I would be so glad if he surprises me.

In his friendlies he should have tested muazum, nwakali, China akas etc to see how good they are but our oyibo man refused. We have a serious coaching problem. They should assign someone knowledgeable to him. He is limited.
By now he should know his second team. Not trying new players is a waste of friendlies. Friendlies are supposed to improve the team

TheLoneCitizen:
Everytime I have watched Umar Sadiq he has been class.

For a player just 8 cm shorter than Onuachu, I can't believe the staggering chasm in technique, pace and footwork.

Of all the 106 goals he has scored in his senior career, only 11 were headers, the same number as Onuachu for Genk. Wow!

Almeria's stance is justified.

Sadiq Umar is badly underrated. This is because he struggled in Europe when he was young. He will play for big clubs and win African footballer of the year. He is too technically sound and fits into the modern game.
Roma was right snapping up this 16 year old boy when he was very young. That is what as Roma saw in him

Who is Sadiw Umat again biko

Awo still dey ooo

I meant Sadiq Umar

About afcon 2021.

Because of covid issues caf will actually allow a 30 man list instead of the usual 23. As a result Rohr can include some players like sadiw umat, nwakali etc that are on his supplementary list.
