Certitude is right. Iheanacho has that issue even at City. U cant compare Iwobi's first touches to Iheanacho's. He really needs to work on that.

Antidoping agency should check moses.. The way he played today I suspect he's on some anabolic steroids.. Choi.. Leon balogun won all his aerial duels.. Pure class.. I see this team going places

Icon4s:


But Moses now plays as a LWB does that mean in the fore-seeable future that Rohr would no longer want to play him as a Wing Forward?

Shehu Abdullahi plays as a DM bt he is more useful to us a RB. Ndidi has also played RB. Omeruo also played RB yesterday. These are not positions these lads play in their clubs.

What of oga Mikel that plays DM at Chelsea bt plays as CM or Am for the Super Eagles.

Ronaldo and Nani were the two strikers for Portugal at the last Euros while also David Alaba played as an AM.

In the national teams coaches field players according to needs of the team.

I personally see Success as a striker that can also operate from the wings. We need to try him in that position for any of our friendlies. I need Iheanacho's more involvement in the game . When he(Iheanacho) plays as AM he plays as though we have an extra attacker on the pitch.He is like a beast in that position.

The team needs a beastly striker like Success and a beastly AM like Iheanacho.

If the problem would be "we dnt want to drop Etebo" then that is no problem IMO. Then Etebo should compete for shirt with Iheanacho, Iwobi or Mikel. Or is that not the kind of competition we have been clamouring for? This team is still evolving and in every game we will keep having 1 or 2 new quality players until the World Cup proper.

We need a quality natural CF.

TheGoodJoe:


That positioning comes from his playing style. Akpeyi is good with his feet, so he stays close to the defenders to make him available for passes.

Although I feel we need a more solid keeper. Glad to hear Akpan the Cat Udoh is still doing well. Alampasu is my pick.

However, Akpeyi made some good contributions today.

Watching the cam-zam replay nw.. The camerounians are push over, they are organized but they lose the ball very fast and easily. They are very beatable for us. with this camerounian team am watching, they will be flogged by 4 to 3-1 from SE in front of their fans.

BascoVanVeli:
The real story in the match was Iwobi, this is a very bad boy. Most football players can do that move but only a few will imagine doing it in a match of this magnitude. He is a class player and as soon as he starts scoring goals i will personally add the world to it.

krattoss:
if he ever tries that skill against any EpL club, his leg would be found in the stands...

such crazy and uncalled skills attract violence and rough tackles...

ask NEYMAR..

tbaba1234:

Okocha did them, na!! Not all players will react like that.

krattoss:
u mean when he was at Bolton wanderers?

i disagreed our game against the lions will be our most difficult in the group
forget about their draw with zambia and algeria
i did't comments much before the algeria match cos i know we were going to win

tbaba1234:
I think Rohr made his subs late. At some point in the second half, we lost the midfield battle, Onazi was not playing so well. I would have removed Onazi for Ndidi at that point. But then again Onazi started the counter for the 3rd goal.

There is still a lot of work to be done by Rohr, the team still has many weaknesses but he is on the right path.

mikron:
Getting ready for the second round round of matches come next year, bring them on, we re on track. beat Cameroon home and away giving us 12 points and we re home and dry

BascoVanVeli:


Onazi is not the only man in our midfield, some of this talk about Onazi is just scandalous. He had a big game and people are still nitpicking for i don't know wat. Even though injured the coach kept him on that should tell us something.

enomakos:
just because we beat them 3-0 in a friendly,you are saying we gonna beat them home and away?
When last did the super eagle beat cameroun at home?

BascoVanVeli:


Nothing stops us from winning them away. Anything can happen in football, we can go on to lose the rest of our games just like we could win them. Like i said before lets take them one at a time.

joseph1013:
Guys, we have to discuss o. Kelechi is not effective as a lone striker as seen in City and Eagles yet if he has to play as a SS, one of the guys in the midfield today would have to go (Etebo, Mikel, Onazi/Ndidi). How practicable is this?

goldfish80:

The blatant hate for Onazi is real. I can't understand it anymore.
Whatever anyone says about Onazi, he is still the first name on the team sheet of every super eagles coach since his debut.
Thank goodness some of us appreciate his die hard and 130% commitment to the course.

goldfish80:

Iwobi has the best first touch in world football at the moment. Even Ozil can't boast of having such.
Comparing him with Iheanacho is very unfair to Ihenacho.

If you believe this, then you clearly haven't watched him enough.

TheGoodJoe:


I will still say you guys want personal accolades than team praises. We Iwobi and Moses flanked Iheanacho well. Iwobi drifted to the midfield and played brilliantly. Mikel had a brilliant game. Etebo was motivating and inspirational.

What we need is to focus on creating clean chances for Iheanacho to finish. The Algerians knew he was our danger man and tightly marked him. This created room for our players.

He showed his attacking brilliance with his run. The miss was an example of his run. If we can get more chances like that coming, Iheanacho will score loads. His pressing also helped the Algerians uncomfortable with the ball.
