Bro, I tend to watch what the glasshouse (the NFF) does instead of what it says. For the most part, what their actions do not line up with their words. And you gotta trust me on that one.

Think I read online according to the news ... NFF said they won't interfere in his selection... Just let us give them benefit of doubt...

Remember AmajuPinnick also have sth to prove... It seems all hands are in deck... We have a grade one friendly next month ... And things are working according to plan... We should give them benefit of doubt...

seems he can use both legs pretty well

Yeah, there's something not quite so energetic or vibrant about Ndidi when he plays for Nigeria. Also Etebo can play as the AM with Mikel and Onazi behind. Wait ooo are only going to be playing 4-3-3? What of other formations? It's like 4-4-2 is slowly fading away.

At the level we are presently, Etebo is not creative enough to function as the AM(number 10).

The role belongs to Mikel and or Iwobi.

I think that all the accolades he's getting at Leicester is beginning to get into his head little by little. He feels that he's one of the big boys now and sometimes you'd see him strolling thru a game without giving you a 100% effort. Watch him at Leicester and you'll see all the fights and hustles, but watch him for the Super Eagles and you can barely see him tracking a 50-50 ball. I would like for Rohr to put him on the bench briefly so learn one or two things. That would bring back the hunger.

I agree. Etebo is a utility player but I don't see him as a playmaker. I don't think he has the skills and the flair to spray passes and make dribble runs even in tight corners like Mikel or Iwobi.

If I were advising Rohr, I'd suggest that we move Iwobi to the middle and Etebo should attack from the left AND VicMo on the right. Simon Moses can come off the bench.

Hahahaha hahahaha. I have not observed him being lackadaisical sha but if he is then what you have recommended is the perfect tonic to reboot his brain. That's why I like Onazi. He brings zap. They say he's positionally indisciplined sha

Icon4s:

That means between Etebo /Ogu /Agu one must drop for a spare AM with skill and flair. Muazzam? Joel Obi? Aluko?

Icon79:
Yea, I think Iwobi would be great in the #10 role. He plays it very well for Arsenal, whenever he has a chance.

As regards to Mikel and Onazi, I won't mind that combo either especially considering the the way Ndidi plays for the Super Eagles.


O pari

I would rather have Sone Aluko in that role, I just feel brings more attacking threat. I also feel Joel Obi brings much needed quality into the midfield as well. We need Mikel but his lack of pace means he can only play AM.

Mujtahida:

With Mikel and Iwobi already in the team we don't need another spare AM. Etebo remains because he can also play as a CM and winger.

I sure can help you with more headlines..
Some good examples. You can have your pick and run with it:

NFF to force Martins and Emenike on Rohr
NFF end talks with Abraham after national disgrace
NFF to Rohr: You must reserve 5 slots for Home Based players.
Rohr tells Pinnick Abraham was never in his Russia plans

Etebo as AM as well. We need to hear from Rohr though. Maybe he thinks about this differently.

It is not compulsory to make changes. If he feels he has not seen any player outside the squad that can better what he has already he can stick to what he has.

That midfield in my opinion is our strongest department.

Where we need to sort out now is our attacking department.

I am curious, according to your definition of a '10', what does Dele Alli play for Tottenham?

I have a gift for him. A DVD of Busquets+Matic+Casemiro's games so he can understand how to stay in his position as a DMF at all times. If he accepts the gift and uses it well then he can become a better player

Mickael2:

1. Are you saying Dele is not a creative player?
2. Are you placing Dele and Etebo on the same scale?
3. Why would Etebo be playing 10 when Mikel and Iwobi are in the team. We need the best player for each position. Etebo is limited in ability to shoulder that responsibility in the world cup

Since you do not want to answer let me go ahead.

Dele Alli is not a creative player in the sense that he almost never sprays a defence splitting pass. He isn't creative, his strong points are his quick passes, quick movements and ofcourse his eye for goal.


Yes I am placing Etebo and Alli on the same scale, no because they have the same quality but because they have thesame strengths. Etebo just like Dele is the kind of guy who is always the 'late comer to the party in the 18', he arrives late into the box or does his own thing when the other defenders think that there is nobody else to mark. HARDLY do you ever se Dele Alli joining the build-up, he moves in almost a straight line with Kane ready to pounce. I mean this is what Etebo does well, during the qualifiers for the Olympic he did it well, during the matches at the Olympics he did it well and scored. You do not need to be Messi to play like Messi, there is no comparison between Alli and Etebo but Etebo plays just the way Alli does and he can be effective if we play to his strength. This is one of the reasons why I hail Sia1, he realised this during the Olympics and used a target man who Etebo could easily move in line with and it worked did it not? Now when I say Rohr isn't the most tactical mind, you can see he wanted to adopt the same strategy in the match against SA but he used Iheanacho as the point man which failed. You can see the only time Rohr's plan worked, we had a shot which could have been a goal from? You guessed it, Etebo.


The problem is that you played football in the 80's when Maradona was the 10 and everyone wanted to be like him. Now the definition of a '10' has changed. I personally believe that your '10' is the midfield player charged with creativity. Mahrez is a winger but I'd grade him as Leicester's 10 still, Eriksen is who I would grade as Tottenham's 10 but he is not the AMF, the CMF. The definition of a 10 depends on the tactics, I can play Etebo as a '10'(your own style of '10') but he wouldn't be the actual '10'(that is my own definition). Etebo is the kind of guy who just strolls around, forget that he even exists, just let the ball rebound off him back to a player in the green jersey, he is not the kind of AMF that will be the focal point, no he is the kind of AMF that picks up the pieces just like Dele Alli and scores tons of goals, just look out for his late runs and we have goals. I am not generating these style of play from my head, this is what worked for Sia1 and it is what works for Poch at Tottenham too.


Etebo can play the '10' role perfectly, change Iheanacho with Ighalo in that game against SA and Etebo would have scored. Iheanacho was not dragging defenders out, he was dragging defenders in which is contrary to what a CF playing with Etebo should be doing. So can Etebo/Ndidi/Onazi work? Yes with a point man it can work wonders. Well I would suggest you replace Onazi with Ndidi as the DMF and put Mikel as the 'Eriksen' of the team sha

To my utter chagrin I'd have to agree with you that the 10 has changed. No more do they come in the mould of Maradona, Del Piero or Zidane. Even Pirlo had to be pushed deep into the midfield as a deep lying midfielder. Kroos, Luka Modric, Pogba are players who epitomise the modern definition of a 10. The most important skill they need is good passing range unlike the past where 10's had to be creative in dribbles, in passing, in scoring.
