@OdenigboAroli, The Goodjoe & @The SuperNerd, you guys are spot on in yours analysis.
*Iheanacho was impressive ysterdy. Our bench wont do better judging by their standard.#Fact.
* Alex was very poor in the second half. As at 52nd mins ought to have been taken off.
* @ goldfish80, Onazi is an indiscipline defensive midfielder so expect to see him in joining attack. David luis is another example. Personally, i will prefer mikel in that role while ndidi patner him & etebo ahead of them.
* Victor moses loves to run at defenders. it is only a CF that is prepared for give & take passes with him that will enjoy him. Hardly the type crossing into the box. Guess we saw from the FKs he took. Nothing threatening. Is like expecting a delightful cross from Echiejile, u go dry finish for sun

OdenigboAroli:


Its nice you brought up the issue about Mikel playing in his more comfortable holding midfield... Honestly,I don't fancy the guy as an attacking midfielder. It limits our potentials. To make it worse , he doesn't help in pressing. That annoys me. Nigga need to press like Iheanacho and Etebor.

Secondly,about Victor Moses,dude is one of the most selfish player I have seen like Okocha used to be. Its good to run and dribble but the end product determines your quality. Those two goals were just due to poor defending from Algeria. Take away the two goals and you will find out he flopped.

OdenigboAroli:
Onazi was the sitting DM yet he was no where to be found when Bentaleb lunched his bullet. I am sick and tired of people always mopping about what a workaholic Onazi ,while we have players who can go combat and still create play in the midfield.

TheGoodJoe:


There is a big misconception about Okocha. He was not selfish but a brilliant 10. I also had that concept too but it is wrong. Okocha was a good passer and passed regularly.

As for Mikel, he is in the best role that suits him. His intelligent choices while passing unlocks stubborn defences. I say he keeps his role.

BascoVanVeli:

Like I said they interchange that's y Etebo was the one sitting. I still say he should have kicked Mahrez.

OdenigboAroli:


Mikel was average yesterday,he didn't have a great game. He needs to work harder for the team and press more. He weakness didn't show because Etebor was working for both him and erratic Onazi.

OdenigboAroli:


Okocha get often carried away around the 18yrd box.
Mikel is not the answer to our attacking midfield problems. We can do better. Maybe it's time to consider Aluko.

I didn't watch the game, but you're the first person to mention this

OdenigboAroli:


First I watched then I went back and studied it. I think some people got carried away by the goal he scored,just like some people think Iwobi was a class act yesterday...lol

safarigirl:
Is anyone as concerned for Ghana right now as I am?

Na so Ghana no go go World Cup? I know it's Racist Russia, but come on!

We need to keep our mandatory 3 spots in the World Cup, only Nigeria and Cote d'Ivoire are trying so far, if Ghana can't step up, Burkina Faso will have to edge out SA for that spot since Tunisia and Egypt are running their geoups.

West Africa must sha have our 3 World Cup reps

TheGoodJoe:


Iwobi made classic play in build-up, switching play and Drifting to combine with Mikel.

However, he had big challenge breaking into the Algerian defence. He once again got tired early. Still blending with the African weather.

You speak such English and think you have a right to critique anyone anywhere?

What is "all what you said"... Which brand of English is that?

I never said you hate Mikel, but you came to a conclusion that you certainly must believe true.

Iheanacho has one bad game and you say he should sit for one unknown star you plan to bring from China, after that. Let us forget his 4/4, let us forget his winning goal against Zambia, let us forget his many assists. No, no need to give him a second chqnce. We'll bench him for one 'star' sonewhere. If that is not silly talk, it must be from the angle of a butt-hurt person, so uncle, which is it?

PS: My diction is perfect and this jargons you wrote did not mention any 'star'...give us the 'stars' in your team and what they have done to earn such a title. You can't even use terms properly and you think my arguments are baseless without giving yours a base. Stars indeed.

Mtchewwww

TheGoodJoe:


Mikel was not average. The team all had challenges. Not just Iheanacho or Iwobi. I pointed out to people where I watched the game that people are missing how good the Algerians are.

It was a tough contest and we came out on top. Like others, Mikel had tough times but grew into the game. Created some beautiful artwork with his combinative passes. Showed strenght and ball control while shielding the ball. He was no way near average.

u think burkina faso can beat SA away? recall SA held them in burkina faso's home-ground, though the group is still open with SA and B.Faso leading the group with 4 points each, i still feel SA might win that group

tbaba1234:
Loftus Cheek is injured, does that Mikel returns to the bench or will Conte look for another academy player?

A certified coach with experience still giving Iheanacho props and some nobodies on here are yarning dust.

Field your imaginary stars now, since we have Coutinho and Mane on the bench somewhere

Certitude:

Your submission is borne out of bias.

TheSuperNerd:
I dont have to burn "mb" to show you anything. A game I watched and downloaded to view critically again... Looollll

Just admit how wrong you are....

Just say you dont understand the "sitting" and the "roaming" pivot roles...

You think it's by being "over-analytical" that shows you make sense. Nope .... It's by being as simple as possible in explanations.

You are wrong so just face it. Loollll
