Only 200 were allowed to enter the stadium

Seriously? I thought the sports minister said fans were allowed back into stadiums. Maybe it had something to do with Covid since south Africa is still a hot spot.

MetalJigsaw:
But the thing is Nacho tends to struggle in such a pin- point position

Not in this form!

elyte89:



I will support forgiveness on dis..a season wout trophy is meaningless even if u score all d goals for ur team

I am sure if u ask simmy to exchange all his career goals for a seria A title..he wont hesitate to do such

There is a difference between individual effort/ achievement and a team one. Hope you're aware

The minister's directive is for npfl games

I don't think even his current form is enough to see him through that.

We all know the super eagle's most frustrating defect: The midfield. especially the attacking aspect of it.

Iheanacho still lacks that aggressiveness, predatory character, ruggedness and mobility that will make him adapt to our terrible midfield productivity.

And apparently, this is what made Osimhen overtake him as our point man and still the best for that position anytime anyday despite the fact that Nacho has been been far more prolific at club side than Osimhen.

Arabiandude:

Even though some persons has accused Rohr of been too defensive, but I think Rohr SE scores more goals than SE of before. No matter the opponent Rohr SE plays against, they are always likely to score at least a goal.
I only have problems with his team list and selections most times, but also compares it with SE of before when it comes to players invited, I think Rohr has also done better.
Na Person Carry Uche Nwafor and Uchebo go worldcup

Simy's Crotone score goals too. Does that make him a good coach?

I just watched YouTube videos of these players again. I feel we seriously don't know the talent we will be having if they plays for us and comes good at the NT.

Eze
Ejaria
Olise
Aribo(Already a SE player and he has done well).

If things goes to plan and we get all these guys, others should just vacate the SE midfield for..
Ndidi
Eze
Ejaria
Olise
Aribo
Nwakali
And any other DM like the Rennes guy to deputize for Ndidi. We can still have a solid midfield with these other guys even if Eze continue to exclude himself.
Iwobi should be taken to the left wing

MetalJigsaw:

Not all coaches that gets relegated with their clubs are bad. Some could be good but with bad players that doesn't measures up. A typical example is Scott Parker and his Fulham team. Another was Holloway and his blackpool team

I want fans to be allowed into the stadium in the quarter final stages

CAF only approves of a limited number of fans.

Do you stay in Aba?

The turnout was too poor. I know people have life to live but where are the ultras? If they had drawn or lost I wasn't going to tolerate any rubbishing or slander..... unless it was coming from me of course

Haha Enyimba Fans are football crazy. Only limited number of fans were allowed in.

Osimhen overtake iheanacho as our point man because nacho have been out of form and struggled for game time with Leicester city

No be by ruggedness, haaland no rugged in any way but e sabi score goal, all players and their own style

But i have this feelings that haaland goals will be lesser in a better league

Iheancho is a better goal scorer than victor and we all know this

Haaland is big, imposing and a speed star. Iheanacho is too sluggish to act as a point man. That doesn't mean he won't score some goals as a pointman when he have a good AM that's good with final passes

Odunayaw:

Oh okay, thanks boss

nairalandankrah:
Kelechi needs to play #9 with osimhen on the left wing..
Victors Lighting pace + nachos Top notch positioning

Victor Osimhen is still our best CF option. Iheanacho instead can play as an SS on behind the striker.

Osimhen's pace, height, and power strikes is very suitable for national football. He's also got good Positioning too. Defenders usually have hard time marking out such an attacker.

Icon4s:


Haha Enyimba Fans are football crazy. Only limited number of fans were allowed in.

Yes I agree with you on that.

U guys need to stick to this back four going forward. Farouk Mohammed definitely should start along side Oladapo when he returns.

nairalandankrah:


Not in this form!

Who doesn't know playing Nacho as a #9 is a disaster.....please , let's drop that idea. Nacho has limited positions he can play and if you try to use him wrongly you will end up with an incompetent player. I have heard people say Nacho should play #10 and I wonder where these ideas are coming from. He doesnt have the lungs nor the skill set. The boy can only function between the #10 position and #9 , shikena.
If Iwobi who is more skillful couldn't cope in the #10 position what makes you think Iheanacho would. Iheanacho has limited abilities of which are his pinpoint passes/creating goal opportunities/ deft touches and scoring goals with ease due to his excellent vision around the 18yrd box.
Now, you cant because he plays good passes and score breathtaking goals and force him to play #10, which requires a player who can function in tight spaces. He will fail there. Lets be careful. We have seen how misusing a player can do to him, in Etebor.

Arabiandude:

Even if you put a good AM behind Nacho an intelligent defender can easily outsmart him, because Nacho is not aggressive, a bit slow and one legged. Therefore , the best option is to play him where he would get less attention/not the point man and have him sneak up on the box 18 late minutes and strikes. Thats where he functions best and his ability to score is almost unmatched.

i want the vibes from the fans

About 1 hr 30mins trip.

When I was in Akwa-ibom back then i never missed Enyimba's games, even though I was part of Okey Emordi's backroom staff.

The atmosphere was always electrifying. The singing, drumming and Prayers of the fans.

I remember one of the games in 2004 against Esperance, I think in the semifinals of CAF Champions league that year. That the fans knelt down at some point and starting praying and shouting Jehovah...! Jehovah...!!. We drew that game but drew again in Tunis and won via penalties.

Crazy stuff back then. Aba boys didn't care much about what was happening in England and Europe. Na wetin dey happen to Enyimba both in the NPFL and CAF Champions league dem know .

Memories

Unfortunately I am not sure the restrictions on number of fans would have been lifted in the quarter finals.

Those were the glorious days of Enyimba. When Khadiri Ikhana marshalled instructions from the sidelines....beautiful memories. I read complete sports daily just because of Enyimba and local league. Enyimba paraded one of the most beautiful playing midfield pair in Muri Ogunbiyi with so much skills and guile and the athletic and tireless Onyekachi Okonkwo....these two were phenomenal. It still hurt me Muri didn't play for Nigeria.

MetalJigsaw:
Oga be careful of what you wish for. Nigeria is a top team in Africa no doubt about that but don't be so overconfident. You know the kind coach wey we get na: A grade C type.

Our performances under Rohr have still not reflected to the golden generation tag.

Fam Idc that much about the world cup due to politics, biased and unfavortism that African team face and I know that for those reasons, likely, an African team will not even reach semi final so what's the tussle? But, if Nigeria cannot beat ghana with this our present squad and their failing squad, then do we deserve to attend the world cup??

2lola:


But Musa is Experience and still 28 years and is our highest Scoring World Cup player.
even Ejuke has not done 1\10 of what Musa has done in Russia

Simply because he has been atrocious for super eagles since his last game vs Iceland at the world cup. 2 years of bad performances is enough but who knows, AM got that world cup on lock

Don't blame your misfortunes at the world cup on this flimsy excuse that FIFA is biased against African teams. Look at your domestic leagues and tell the progress you have made. Your best players are untrained and rot away at the NPFL.

Simply put , you don't deserve to win even a plastic cup!

You are funny. You think Nigeria can beat Ghana? “Our present squad and their failing squad?”

I don’t know how and why Nigerians think they have a better than Ghana. Na real wa.

You obviously don’t know much about football and the history between the two teams. Forget, about whatever team you nigerians think you have, Ghana will beat Nigeria any day. This is a fact!

You guys should know by now that Ghana vs Nigeria matches defy logic. Ghana raises their game when playing Nigeria. Nigeria develops a psychological complex. The only times Nigeria beats Ghana is when the a massive gulf in talent level.

A typical scenario

Nigeria vs Team A 1-0
Ghana vs Team B 0-1
Team A vs Team B 3-0
Nigeria vs Ghana 0-1

Iheanacho is back as a starter

Rohr was forced to use 2 strikers in our last game

Iheanacho is not going back to eagles bench anytime soon

The only aspect of the game 9ja football fans focus on is creativity

No right thinking coach will play an olise n Eze in the same midfield unless one will be moved to the flank
