Taliban:
During the last post match conference, a journalist asked Rohr about converting Joel Obi to a left back since he's left footed but Rohr didn't answer. Tbaba has said Awaziem has played that role before too, can't we try Joel Obi and Awaziem there? We have to make do with what we have, I don't think Idowu or Echejile have much to offer on that side of the field. Desperate times call for desperate measures, maybe Etebo can even help sef . Elderson and Idowu na short one in my opinion.

If the coach follows this advice I assure you of 80million PTSD diagnosed fans

Oasis007:
Fellow Eagulians.

I assure you all - we gonna see a different Eagle at the Mundial. We are able to keep our Tactics away from the Oppositions.

The Oppositions are as confused as the Fans. They don't know what's gonna happen at the Mundial, kinda difficult for the Scouts spying on us to analyze the Team credibly.

Kudos to Rohr, and I'm kinda satisfied with the 2nd Half Display.

I used to be bitter at our displays but now, I strongly agree with you. See, I know Rohr is up to something and is playing mind games and tactics.

That second half was a glimpse into our midfield's potential. I know that we will shock the world. Yes, it is easy to be demoralized at their ironically awful display but I have this strong feeling that Rohr has been Fielding our second team while shirlding the public and opposition from our Jokers.

Long live Super Eagles.

Let's get it on guys!! We can do this

Iwobi more creative than Mikel? That is very very debatable. Besides they could both interchange between CM and AM like they did against England.

The bolded meanwhile says it all about your analysis. I can fix you up for a lobotomy for saying that.

**Yara Yara, plsss give this gentleman my card.**

austenite:
The coach is making some tactical mistakes,iwobi shouldn't have played deeper owing to the fact that he is more creative than Mikel. Moses should be benched his impact is zero. Shehu should be relegated to the bench for ebuehi. Finally, Mikel obi offers nothing to this team.

Humility017:

to be honest with you...
rohr don't think this way...the old man is still confused...

It's too early to lose Hope in him Bro. I hope you remember Rohr is rebuilding a formidable Super Eagles for the Future..... perhaps Qatar 2022?!

safarigirl:

Commentator: "Odion Ighalo has had opportunities today....."
Nuff said. Try another excuse

hmmm... na lie

safarigirl:
this is the only real positive I'm taking away

That someone is going to feel like we don't offer much and may decide to not take us too seriously, only to be shocked on match day the way Algeria was shocked

we lost against germany and was beating well by holland in 1994 and Spain thought it will be smooth ride and got the shock of there life in 1998.

hopeful we can beat croatia on 16th

forgiveness:


If Croatia think this is the team they will face and have a work over, Rohr has just deceived them.

I can see what Rohr is doing although.....

What is he doing if I may ask!

Icon4s:


I read this post and laughed.

Boys wey dey play safe.

Una go see naa.

We played safe against Serbia, right?

Although, I don't agree with Rohr on certain things but I can see what he is doing to our rivals.

He has confused them so far and they will be surprised when we play them because now Rohr has made these teams to believe illusion about the team formation and team selection.

I like that but I don't see what some players will bring to the team.

Anyway, that's a good one coming from Rohr. The first victim will be Croatia.

And what happened against Denmark? We talk as if we got to the semi final in 98 by beating spain

He is playing mind games. Confusing and deceiving our rivals just to surprise them.

I hope it works.

We lack technical depth, even if we come out the group, what will happen if we meet Denmark or France in the second round

I blame our recent string of loses on our new jersey. They are so sexy that every one wants to sleep with us and rape us.

Forget it jare. We just didn't have a good game period!!!!! Hopefully this poor run turns positive for us.

Oasis007:


Echiejile is lost with the Wing-back Role. He's not supporting at all on the left Flank.

Echiejile as wingback??

Ighalo had two shots on target in the first half. I give him kudos for especially pulling off that first save from the Cezch keeper. But the best chance he had came in the second half and he played a silly tame shot. He blew it. Ighalo had three shots in all... All on target but one was so weak and silly (that was the third in the second half). In the first half, he did well getting that shot off and his second also was saved before the ref called for an infringement.

Ighalo may have bagged a goal today if Idowu had the sense to feed him on two occasions. Idowu killed off two of our attacking chances. Sad.

But this is not to exonerate Ighalo. He did have chances and could not bury them. Also, he is not mobile enough. I really am scratching my head on him because he is our starting 9 going to Russia... Unless...

MetalJigsaw:
hmmm... na lie

Oasis007:


Guess our Eyes are clear now....... that Iwobi is a monumental Waste on the Wing?! Our problem is very simple to solve;

A - Play 3 - 4 - 1 - 2 Formation.

B - start Ebuehi as a RWB not Shehu

C - Play Moses as LWB, I've seen him played there at Chelsea more than once.

D - play a Pivot of Ndidi and Mikel as DMs - Ndidi doing the Tackles and Interceptions while Mikel plays as a deep-lying Playmaker.

E - Play Iwobi as a No. 10.

F - Pair Ighalo and Iheanacho upfront - Ighalo will play more inside the Box, while Iheanacho plays as SS, combining with Iwobi to dig out positive Results.

G - I prefer Trio of Omeruo, Balogun and Echiejile as CBs in a 3 at the back Formation. I do not trust Ogu with the CB Responsibilities.

Please sir, I want to know why you prefer Echiejile as part of a three man defence.

Perhaps you see something I don't

in conclusion we should bench moses and mikel.

last 2 months everyone agreed that they are our best player but now they don't over anything to the team.

Icon4s:


Haha, make sure you don't go your usual way of staying away when we start winning games at the WC o.

I was here right through the qualifiers, I dont plan on going nowhere. The way you stick your neck out for this team sha.
You almost swore an oath they will beat South Africa. I hope you're right on winning at the world though.

Do you think Rohr doesn't know his best first eleven and best formation?

I don't think so.

This is when I like your theory. I wish it's true but na still theory.

Taliban:

Cool down my guy. Rohr knows his best eleven and best formation.

You will be surprised when you see his line up and formation against Croatia.

Me just have the feeling that Aina will push Shehu out of the team after the WC.

Icon79:
Nne, thank you for breaking it down much better than I can ever do.

And you can just add - make Iwobi your creative midfielder. Mikel is too sluggish to be effective in the AM role in Russia. He slows our game down. Make it our deep lying playmaker (Pirlo role) and this team would change.


O pari

few weeks ago, everyone said mikel is the only AM in our team and we just need another just incase his injured, now let's push him back

Sir, against Croatia we will chase the game, playing mikel and Ndidi deep won't be nice.

Ndidi and another DM behind mikel...mikel will end up coming deep to help. Rakitic,Modric,kovacic and co are handfull in that the midfield.

Our problem is not the players or formation, our problem is in the players head, they just need to be psych up.

we go do well for Russia

Second team?
Which players pass this ones?

Omeruo, Etebo, Onazi and Joel Obi on the bench abi

Afobear:
Metaljigsaw,I no tell you

Iwobi as a 10 in a 3-5-2 with Ebuehi starting all what this team needs badly and I'm really perplexed that Rohr is yet to realize and acknowledge it.

This man is proving to be cluelss and incompetent I must say.

How can you ignore the defensive prowess of Ekong?

Icon79:
I can't believe I would say this but I do agree with you. IMHO, Rohr needs to sit him down ... read him the riots act: either play within the team or you sit on the bench. I don't even understand how he allowed Moses to monopolize all the set play. And it wasn't like he's killing them either!


O pari

moses corners and free kick where perfect, just waiting for a connection.

he wont cross the ball and head it too

we saw nach indirect free-kick, it could not pass the first man

though i expect a person like mikel to take some of it too.

Mikel is not getting much involve

Safari you are looking for trouble... I will say something you will not be happy with.. You started the abuse by telling me to shut up because I aired my view.. OK ooo.... Next time you tried this shit with me, you will not like my reply... Oya let's enjoy the 2nd half

Now that's peace making...... Blessed are the peace makers.... for they shall .........
