Correct coach, that is the hallmark of a coach who know what he wants. Reminds me of mourinho last season who focussed on winning Europa rather than fighting for a fourth place in the epl to qualify for uefa champ league. The coach targeted four points against Cameroon and he got it. He knows he cant loose the next two games as he is done with the strongest team in the group so far. Na we dey worry, the coach and the players already know qualification is sealed

TheGoodJoe:


For Christ sake, we are Nigeria and we are a great footballing Nation. We have quality talents that we could set up and give the Camerounians a run for their money. We were very negative. We could play better than that. Concerning Nwakali, the call-up is not based on merit alone but training with the team.

I think in 2014, Juan Manuel Iturbe had not merited a call-up for Argentina but was training with the team and even followed the team to camp in Brazil for the World Cup.

We must not always wait for the sun to shine on player before calling them up.

Cameroon that played us with bravery, are they Spain?

pyrex23:
definately alampasu

edi287:

Yeah we do need a CM. I don't trust that Ndidi - Onazi axis.. they should be competing for a place instead of playing together. For now, we should either try out Ogu or move Mikel to CM and play someone like Etebo or Iwobi as a 10 but we need Mikel in the final third...Iwobi is a great 10 but he needs to work on his stamina.
This is definitely an understated problem we have . It was annoying watching the lack of control in the midfield.

Before this game did you think we would beat Cameroon 4-0 I'm Uyo?

Because of that result our egotism is back. You beat the African Champions 4-0 at home played 1-1 away and you say we are better than the way they played today.

I hear you. We are on the same level with Germany.

TheGoodJoe:


Etebo!?

The same one that came in today and still could not solve the problem. The same one who could not orchestrate the midfield in the match against South Africa. Or are you talking of another Etebo?

LogoDWhiz:
Bro, dnt forget zambia game is still until next month. Next international break.

TheGoodJoe:


I am more concerned about convincing display than just the score. If you keep playing well, the team will keep getting better and with time achieving nice results with good score.

We should stop towing the line of parking bus.

Goke7:
Nigerians are ungrateful lots, so you wanna go to Yaoundé and win 4-0 nil, common guys, these are the African champions and you want them to lie down for you to whip them 4-0 nil in their backyard? And who is blaming our courageous keeper or the left back? Pls this is a marathon, every country wants to be at the world cup. We have got 10 points and unbeaten in 4 games and still folks are abusing our players or the coach. What for?

We are just too emotional as Nigerians, some of us can't even last 5 mins on a soccer field and we have guts to abuse players who are holding their own against African soccer giants who have all won the afcon cup one time or the other.

It's not a must to qualify now when you still have two matches to go. There will be stiff competition nah

TheSuperNerd:
Well.... I haven't tried myself out I'm actual coaching before but I already understand and deeply appreciate these coaches' challenges...

But Gary... he thought it all goes by the book and by stats and all that theoretical mumbo jumbo... lol... he met reality soon after. Hahahaha....

But Sir Dave... you bad oooo.... so now confess... why you call me Neville's boss? I saw that comment and laughed so hard my tummy hurt... wetin Gary do you? hahahaha...

TheGoodJoe:


Oh please. We are better than that. The negativity was too much. It was like watching a cartoon called COW AND CHICKEN.

I think they both played to instructions because they did very well until we conceded, though Mikel is another factor that helped them stabilized.

Ogu is a natural CMF but I think Rohr wanted to defend only else he would have brought in Ogu who is more attacking minded but very weak in defending.

However, we need to start looking out for more CMF that could at least control the game should Mikel is out.

tbaba1234:


The game plan was excellent... The Cameroonians could not manage a single chance inspite of all the possession. Nothing changed with the sub. The Keeper just needed to keep his head.

TheSuperNerd:
It is official!!!!!!

I am sorry.... but I cannot take this anymore.... Elderson Echiejile is the worst player in our First XI.... he is the only player whose place needs serious bad-ass upgrade.. chaaaiiiiii......


How do we go about replacing this guy now? He has been our first choice left back for quite a good while....


His fullback partner on the other side, Shehu was a class act.... He made a game-high Four interceptions alongside Onazi who also had four...

Leon followed next with about 2 or 3 interceptions....


I cry for our left back position.

AIG07:
I'm not happy with the performances of two people and they are:
coach Rohr and Elderson Echiejile.
Reason been that...

1. Echiejile was our weakest link in both matches. He does not merit a starting shirt. The saddest part is that he can't improve any longer so we need a replacement asap. He made Moses and Onazi over worked and capped it all by unbalancing the defence. Practically all players came to his rescue.

2. I made a call on our coach's substitution techniques. He seem to be efficient in substitution. Why for God's sake will u sub like for like while leading. If the players on bench ain't good enough then don't invite them again. Rather than just putting them through emotional stress.

I have never supported Ndidi-Onazi combo. Both players are not good passers. They both lack vision. It cost us a win today cos the battle was lost at the midfield. Kudos to Shehu, Ekong and Balogun. This three salvaged the draw for us.

safarigirl:
I tell you. Some people are even here blaming one imaginary party that ONLY ANS reported.

Ungrateful lot the bunch of them. You want to collect six points from African Champions during World Cup Qualifiers, if that is not greed, I don't know is what is.

Show me another team in this qualifiers with a record as good as ours despite playing relatively weaker opposition, they can't, but they think they have the right to complain about this player and that player and who partied and who did not.

Nonsense!

Mujtahida:

Nigeria 0: South Africa 2.
I don't understand this negativity you talking about. The first leg Cameroun came with positivity and we punished them hard. We weren't negative, we were wise. You wanted swashbuckling football abi? I do too but today at least.

We often stand in the compound of the coward and point to the ruins in the house of the brave man.

TheGoodJoe:


Em. Ekong gave the Camerounians some killer passes. He needs caution on that. He should stop trying to be too inventive and connect simple passes to his midfielders to create for the forwards.

safarigirl:
our 4-0 win has greatly affected your judgment of the team.

See, we are not Arsenal that will play beautiful football without results. If we are playing negatively and getting results, so be it. Who gives a shiiit how we play as long as we get the needed results?

TheGoodJoe:


Oh please. We are better than that. The negativity was too much. It was like watching a cartoon called COW AND CHICKEN.

soetanoreoluwa:



Oga goodjoe you are too strict and rigid... It takes alot of time for you to bend rules...

Can we have a perfect team without no mistakes in this world? Or perfect player... Ekong Realyy tried today... Helping Sheu out...

I understand you bro.. But we get the job down... That's it...

Cool temper... Take a glass of �
