safarigirl:
what was your own point with saying Moses brags with the team if you were not looking for argument?

Some comments are highly unnecessary and that one was it. No need to drag the others down to elevate your Moses. Everybody brings something to the team, that is why it is called a TEAM

Some comment my dear are highly repulsive, Moses adds something, something which was evident against Poland, something which was evident against Ethiopia at AFCON 2013. That something could be done with a TEAM of course. No dispute about that. When the team is having an average game you don't just expect a Mikel to put a through pass and Issagoal. You need players who can simple stand up to it. No listen am not putting the team down. And not elevating a player above another player. What am simply saying is it is only when we can have a player with an equal potency to deliver like the arrogant Moses then will Moses be humbled.

ChrisKels:
Joel Obi was forcing it, Agu was more calm and calculated and he didn't give away unnecessary fouls like Joel did in the first half.

I agree with this.

You've been noticed

Now get the Bleep off my mention and stop excreting while you're at it

This team is never good when it comes to keeping possession. They play counter-attacking football. They have always been average as a team but spark with one or two individual brilliance. Our coach is more concerned with defensive build up & fast-break, catching our opponents on the counter. To enjoy this super eagles, keep your expectations very low.

ChrisKels:


That's a good news bro. I pray it remains like Dat

That Ebuehi I saw on TV after the match was dead limping. Majestically is not true. Don't be deceived.

Daejoyoung:

True, Congo wasn't great either, but they had this chemistry and imposing play, same with the Serbians.
l understand your point about the pitch but l think we played almost thesame way we played against Serbia, pitch or no pitch, but then again l believe we can only judge from against England and Czech because then the final list would have been made public.

Do not read too much into these friendlies... I saw much more positives than against Serbia and we will have seen a much better game today if the bumps on the pitch were not intercepting passes.

There is not much to critique about the game. Just happy, there was no injury

Sainty92:
It is just cramps bro. At the end of the game he was walking majestically

That's a good news bro. I pray it remains like Dat

he will be sacked while the job will be given to you. nonsense!

pelezico:
Based on what we have seen in the last 3 games I think what will happen is that rohr will.be sacked after the WC because of a disgraceful showing and Nigeria will go looking for a home based coach and the merry go round begins again.

The game against England will be a formality of the continued mediocrity that we have seen. The SE do not know how to keep possession which is our mainstay. Nope we are looking at a pounding at the WC.

Pitch or no pitch

Super eagles b trained for just 3days,dere was coordination


Right from our 4-2 win against Argentina uptill dis moment... D S.E has failed again to coordinate demselves at d middle and dictate d game


We can't keep assuming things would b right when we face a team dt comprises, modric and co


Na d same pitch Congo self play on top o,and dey played better in terms of ball movement

Rohr shld work on dis,dis was d same thing DOSU JOSEPH TOLD US when we asked him abt d chances of eagles... NO COORDINATION.

MetalJigsaw:
Then who come dey play well? Because no Kayode abi?

Did you watch the match?

I will drop Joel Obi. He has not really performed. Agu was better today.

Pls it would be silly of anyone ere to blame Aina for the PK. that wasn't a PK, I repeat that wasn't a PK atall. that's just stupid officiating. Don't crucify him atall.

Judging from today's game
Iheanacho does not have any business going to Russia.
All other players tried.
However, the pitch was so bad and boys no wan do a moses simon.
Therefore, you should not judge your team only with friendly matches.
Lokosa surprised me with his performance today, he made a good case for local talent.
Simmyyyyyyy spectacular rrrr. Ighalo watch your back.
Musa is good! simple.
Uzoho, no words! future of Nigerian goal keeping.
Congo DRC is a very good team. Our boys tried.

In conclusion, NFF has really tried, I must say. However, allowing your team to play on such a pitch few days to world cup against a strong side like DRC is highly ridiculous. I just hope our boys are unscratched, holding my breath right now.
No bad news please!

Joebie:
Lokosa can’t be dropped for now
Etebo was poor. He has his chances to strengthen his case, but he squandered them.

etebo is not an attacking midfielder... playing him in the middle is like giving a dog a bad name...just to get it hanged.

nwakali will even do better in the middle compare to him....
we can't keep shying away from this...we need a good AM some one close to mikel calibre....

Odunayaw:
Then you and Thanos must have been deprived of fresh Air

lol, u wicked!

Lokosa is a bundle of skills with quick foot but playing from the wing, he wasn't imposing and was too shy to go forward.

those guys were playing with caution.

I promise you, you'll see a different SEs in Russia.

superbloke:
I wonder why people have concluded that Aina will be dropped just because he gave away a penalty. Haba! Y'all make it sound like it's Russian roulette. If Echiejile had received a red card instead of a yellow for that early tackle, I bet people would have declared him dropped. Make una take am easy na.

Naso this thread de o

Bolowolowo:
I feel that we are going to see a different SE versus England. All the players are excited about the friendly and seem very eager to play that match. We’ll also be fielding a full strength team.

Dt is what we av been saying...I hope its true anyway

We would c a better super eagles

Sunday wey go good,na for Saturday we go knw

Uzoho is proving to be so good in one on one situations

Icon4s:


But this is not the first time Rohr is playing him there naa

if i recall correctly iwobi has never been deployed as a ten or AM for nigeria since Rohr came in except in this match.

against zambia he played a a rwf
against algeria he played as rwf
against south africa he played as a lwf
against zambia he subbed simon moses as a rwf
against argentina he played as a false nine coming in from the left wing
against poland he played as a lwf
against serbia he played as a lwf but disobediently drifted into the midfield.

Nigerians are so savage

Thankfully this is not the last friendly they will play before the tournament. Let's give them the benefit of doubt. But so far, without sugar coating it, they have not played well this year. The much maligned Stephen Keshi team played with more quality in their tune up games than this set. Sad but true.

These guys are trying to avoid injury. It would be pointless to look to close into these friendlies.

I have not seen a team in this team. Honestly if it is possible to bring in k. Nwakali it will be a good addition to the team, someone who can hold possession. Also we need a natural winger since moses is injured,we all know the inconsistency of musa. Simy is a good addition to the team, atleast we can use him to approach the team differently. I don't think we need etebo in this team to be honest. Lokosa from what I have seen is a good player but need to wait after the world cup for his chance to come. Our major problem lies in that midfield and to find a good position for ihenacho.

WTF

goldfish80:


How can it not be a matter of confidence when the world cup is 2 weeks away?

is it team B that now inspires confidence that we will now take to Russia? you saw team B and now team A inspires no confidence. team B that atleti scored them whenever they decided to as icon79 ably analysed. okay oo.

I decided to end it dat way bkus I no wan argue. Make dem dey deceive demselves. I blame Rohr for all this

All the other teams that inspired confidence with friendlies, how far did they go at the World Cup?

This team will shock all the unbelievers

I was here when tons of "analysts" were clamoring for Joel Obi (especially).

Una don see say bingo no be universal dog name! Softly with all these analysis, some of us will have ulcer with the way some people starve us of sensible analysis

ChrisKels:



Even a blind man would tell u d guys played safe bkus nobody wanna risk it plus our bad pitch. Abeg try to dey ignore those irrational posts no matter whose moniker is written above it.

i go try. e dey pain me sometimes. team B that played with an Atleti second string side who scored them at will. has the world cup become so pedestrian? cos by implication if some are left to decide now team B will be going to Russia. secondary school boys to go write university final exams. choi

dem say Joel Obi na beast. A fit Joel Obi is gold.

AIG07:
Anytime I remember NACHO's stint under pep, sometimes I see it as waste of time as his football development was stunted.

Under Pelle, Nacho played well as an AMF, SS, RWF and a CF and he got goals in those positions with amazing performances...

I just thank God the young man left and he is getting back his feet. I'm seeing him having an explosive World Cup outing.

Nacho only played twice as a LW under Pelle and those matches he came in as a substitute.

However, his best role is becoming clearer when he is played as a SS.
