I don't want to talk again outside 30 man list again but Rohr need to mange this team especially midfield.

What happened to Brazil against Germany would be a child play cos the team was exposed due to players with similar style of play (Fernadinho,Paulinho,Ramirez,Gustavo) in the midfield and with players like Onazi, Etebo,Agu,Joel,and Ogu am foreseeing issues if not managed tactically.

It's apparent that without Mikel the team will keep on struggling.Hope Rohr will do the needful tactically.

Rohr’s verdict on Simy

goldfish80:


With the available players, Rohr can can only hope to play a pragmatic style of football like Simione's Athletico. The raft of defensive midfielders makes it impossible to impose a possession style of football with this team.
I expect to see them defend deep and get as quickly as they can to the opposition's box with long balls and quick combinations. The method will need hard runners on the wings and a striker with good hold up play. Creating chances from dead balls will also be key.

I would love someone to do a comparison . ANS, OGN also did their ratings.

andrew444:


Name the super eagles players that being invited has given him a club ? Na so Brazil and others national team dey do abi ?

Even after last World Cup how many super eagles players get a new club ?

What about the 2013 confederation cup ? No b caykur rizespor offer oboabona see ? What of egwuekwe? Na South Africa league he end up? A 35 caps super eagles player for that matter.

If nwakali get one bad game na una go still make noise.

Joel obi is a fan favorite but people has been calling for him to be dropped already

I will just fold my hands and watch

Kog45:
Almost similar but OGN rating cool cos they gave Iheanacho 4/10,Joel 4/10,and Echiejile 4/10 but completesports Iheanacho 6/10 ,Joel 5/10 ,Echiejile 5/10.

tbaba1234:
My 23
Uzoho Ezenwa Ajiboye (but Rohr will take Akpeyi)
Omeruo Ekong Balogun Awaziem Idowu Aina Ebuehi
Shehu Ndidi Mikel Onazi Ogu Etebo Agu
Iwobi Ighalo V.Moses Musa Simy Iheanacho

safarigirl:
Kelechi 6/10 ke? More like 4/10

tbaba1234:
Players i will drop

Agbo (simply have not seen him)
Joel Obi (has been unable to show his Serie A form for Nigeria after 3 games)
Simon Moses (Injury)
Akpeyi (Rohr will drop Ajiboye though)
Lokosa (Did himself a lot of credit, we should see him again post WC but with Ighalo and Simy as CFs, i do not see the space for him in the 23)
Elderson (could have received a red today, he is coming to the end of his international career. He has been a good servant)
Stephen Eze ( The fact that we did not see him suggests that he will be dropped)

Martz101:


victim card?? I'm i Onazi??

you just sit in the comfort of your home and type what ever you feel, "Onazi was wack"

PDPGuy:
My 23 will be:

Gks: Uzoho, Ajiboye, Ezenwa

Defenders: Ebuehi, Shehu, Awaziem, Omeruo, Ekong, Balogun, Idowu, and Aina.

Midfielders: Mikel Obi, Etebo, Onazi, Ndidi, Iwobi, John Ogu.

Attackers: V.Moses, Ighalo, Musa, S. Nwankwo, Iheanacho, Lokosa.
Yes, Lokosa will put up a decent performance against the English and that will propel him into the final squad

asha80:
i noticed that too..i was wondering what it was all about

Humility017:
so you will drop iwobi?

safarigirl:
maybe you just joined us few months ago, so, you are unfamiliar with how things are here.

We have gone through three or so threads as a group, we have been together since October 2013, October of this year will make it five years, since the originators of this thread came together. Do you know how many 'noisemakers' we have entertained in that period? Well, they are certainly more than the amount of posts you have on this thread and yet, we always have space for them.

Noisemakers are a necessary part of this thread, in their own way, they contribute to the thread. They talk, they drag the team down, they predict the usual doom and gloom, but we who have five years experience with them, respond as much as we can and then ignore, because, dem no dey last.They will eventually fizzle out, but their opinions matter, because sometimes, they have valid points even in all of that pessimism

Don't disrespect people's opinions. To some of us here, you are also a noisemaker, but you don't see anyone throwing your opinion in the bin

Hope to see your analysis by morning. G'night

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke

If you stand by the sidelines and I or other thought leaders stand by the sidelines and allow the invaders rule supreme this thread will lose its essence.

It's football season. Don't think they'd go away. Better give us the benefit of your quality opinions than wait for the invaders to go away.

We need all the regulars Bro

Martz101:


i saw that, but I'm not sure if that was the reason

Kog45:
Sir why are we always read meaning to what is not.Pls who are the players feeling big?

Humility017:


you're spot on...had it been it was possible to take lokosa...it would have been good.

krattoss:

Dem Don pass to shout for?

Eleniyan15:


That is why mikel obi is really important with his long range pass, onazi tried it yesterday but i wasn't feeling it.
This team would go into world cup to try to absorb pressure and break with a counter attack but i doubt if this team can really absorb lot of pressure because yesterday they all got tired fast.

safarigirl:
he gave Nwakaeme a chance, 75 minutes of it. He gave Kayode a chance, at least twenty minutes of it.

It took Simy 11 minutes to show what he's made of. Rohr realizes he hasn't seen a striker that was so threatening, many fans agree with him, so, he certainly cannot be wrong

Kog45:
Baba you are right with the types of midfielders we have,hope to see good outing at WC.

MetalJigsaw:
I have this subtle feeling that lokosa will make the final list on the premise that Ezenwa is the only hombased bound for Russia in the team.

OMANBALA1:


More like my preferred 23s. I really want to take Joel Obi and drop either Etebor or Agu but Simmy got to be on that list

Why do you like to dey lie, hmm?
