forgiveness:


Hahahahahaha! OK, tell me the truth. Are you satisfied with Lokosa and Etebo on the wing?

Or are you satisfied having Ahmed Musa and Moses Victor as the only natural wingers in the team?

If not, what do you suggest?

Mujtahida:

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.

I agree but we are also looking at individual performances as they could decide who is on the plane.

On the cocoyam farm, we played today, it was always going to be difficult to get passes flowing.

Oasis007:
Simmy can't play as a Target-Man for the Team, damn he's too soft and easily bullied. He's a good Prospect, but this is not his time.

I wish Rohr plays Lokosa as a Striker at Wembley, i wanna watch him leading the Attack, not playing from the Wing - on a world class Pitch.

Mujtahida:

maybe we can name him twice. but rohr should have subbed him out at first half. that kind of risk can be costly. he should not even play that england match.

Oasis007:




Oh Lawd of Eagles...... LMAO! You are very spot on Sir with the bolded, coz only very few Monikers analyze fairly and objectively.

Don't wanna mention Names but I think I should at least mention a particular Moniker that I do enjoy his Analysis the most, maybe because he's a Lawyer.

Another Moniker I do enjoy a lot is a jovial Fellow, but he's mostly on Point too in a comic way. We need to stop hyping our Team and Players to be honest.

All these Remi is balling, chukwudi is balling, bature is balling won't help the Team cos in football individuals don't win Game, Teamwork does

Humility017:

he should play in the flanks or CM role....if he can't play any of those role...then he should be dropped. for now only mikel and iwobi should get play the 10 role.....

it is so painful that rohr gonna orchestrate his own failure with a wrong selection...in the final watch.......

safarigirl:
Nwakali this and that, how many of you expressed this confidence in him when the list was out? Many people here were even saying he hasn't played for a while, lower division, blah blah blah.

It is easy to judge a player based on one game. Nigerian fans do that all the time, but it is also foolish.

Mujtahida:

Lokosa to dance Makosa at Wembley. What a stage! But on a serious note Rohr should try it. What I wanted to see wasn't the guy's skill level but his confidence. Cos no matter the skills if you don't have confidence you fit just see Otamendi your blood go just dry, your leg go weak.

Ighalo can never suffer from such. But Lokosa should be tried out.

ChrisKels:
Ekong becoming more imposing, assured and commanding among the two Centre backs.

Mujtahida:

You know why they said that? The friendlies were meant to ascertain the quality of players as stand alone elements (team assessment notwithstanding) so any player balling (and who is consistent) gives us confidence that he can add quality to the team.

I want Ebuehi to ball and I'm happy when he dies but ultimately it's the team I have my eyes on, it's what Ebuehi's balling can add to the team that gives me joy.

That's why some defend Vicmo. His selfishness as some put has yielded returns. He balls. His balling makes the team tick

Odunayaw:
Toh
Depends on how you read my post

Kalapizim:
Joel needs to calm down, he has been a shadow of his former self.

Joebie:
Where should we play him then?

Humility017:

that coach sometimes thinks wayside...
his poor decision cost us the Algeria match....

Mujtahida:
I read it the way you posted it.

Humility017:

rohr had all the time to sort this out...right from the south Africa match...we lost.
we need a good AM...
but the coach seems to be preoccupied in trying etebo and co in AM role...expecting them to give what they don't have.....

should anything happen to mikel the team will be in serious mess....

oloriooko:
Is NFF trying to decapitate our players by sending them to play with an African team on that suicidal ground called pitch?
What have we gained playing on such horrible turf when the WC will be played on excellent pitches?
No wonder the boys were careful with tackles that could end their WC aspirations and the SS guys were busy castigating the boys for not committing suicidal on that evil pitch

charlesemeka85:
the pitch is a tomoto farm

tbaba1234:


Who is the AM you suggest? Nwakali? based on a holiday match? Let the boy grow.

This is the same way we hyped Haruna Lukman based on friendly performances and he was invisible in the WC proper.

Why do I have the feeling you're trivializing this conversation by using my words to reply me. I thought this was supposed to be an honest conversation and not confrontation.
In any case, like you said, my point have been noted.

Icon4s:


What of the Senegal friendly?

charlesemeka85:
we shouldnt judge this team bases on a preparatory match. lets wait till the worldcup commence

Humility017:

Babe relax.....the connectivity of the midfield with the attack is serious lacking whenever mikel is off pitch....
playing etebo there is like have 10 players on the pitch....he barely give a thorough pass upfront.... so what's the need?
though it is a bit late now...I have always harp on the need to include that lad on the 30-35 man list...because of his good passing accuracy nd vision upfront.

so I still believe him in being in that team far better than having the likes of Agbo and co.
too many DMs in this team.

ykalhaji:
Abeg where are all these negative people coming from?
All the games played this year involved new players, a different line up and without some of our most important players playing. They are called friendlies for a freaking reason. This is the first time Rohr will have all these guys with him for more than a week.

You naysayers should calm the freak down joor.
