Mikel is not helping the game, he is playing the free role yet he rarely runs into space
That guy should be on the bench. We need Iwobi in that position and Musa on the left flank.

Iwobi should come play 10 please. This coach self!!! Is he not tired of experimenting. And we can see the Croatians know Abdullahi is a weak link. Modric always taking long pass to that right wing.
Re: Nigeria Vs Croatia: World Cup - 0 - 2 On 16th June 2018 by ladygudhead(f): 9:00pm On Jun 16, 2018
why is it mikel dont always play with passion when playing any nigerian game.
Re: Nigeria Vs Croatia: World Cup - 0 - 2 On 16th June 2018 by Bulletproof: 9:00pm On Jun 16, 2018
In my own opinion,

Remove Mikel and take Iwobi to 10....
Bring in musa to play left....
Our attack will come back to life!!!

Not sure we can equalize with the way we are playing. We need to attack more not pass ball at the back

Mikel outstanding..... If he is we are in for a rough night. Our players are playing with fear. The defenders are unsure of themselves hence booting the ball to Igahlo. The teams structure is weak and the players are not comfortable with it.


We need that Nigerian arrogance and that samba samba play. It's very anaemic right now and it looks like Nigeria will fail if they don't step up

They are booting long balls because the midfield is not linking with the attack. The only true attacking midfielder there is Iwobi. The duo of Mikel and Ndidi are defensive hence the frequent back passing and sideways shanks.

Rohr is trying to implement a system that is not traditional to Nigeria and the truth is that we have never excelled with a system not Nigerian. That was why the early years of Westerhof were not enterprising until he rerurned and improved on our traditional 442 wing play system. Nigerian teams just donot play well with lone strikers and an abundance of defensive midfielders. It doesn't work for us.

after seeing dat useless idiot called SHEHU i lost hope..
Seems like pressure hav been excerted on rohr to start an hausa man.. Cus i see no reason rohr shud start SHEHU over EBUEHI..
Re: Nigeria Vs Croatia: World Cup - 0 - 2 On 16th June 2018 by Nbote(m): 9:00pm On Jun 16, 2018
My analysis so far...
-Our Right back Abdullahi is a waste of space.. Every croatian player beats him so easily, he lacks pace and positionally sense and still yet he wants to always join in d attack. Moses and Iwobi has had to do most of his defending..
-Ighalo is completely isolated... Moses is busy helping out Abdullahi, Mikel doesn't want d ball, Iwobi has had to try to take it upon himself to start attacks..
-Ndidi needs to do more to help Etebo in d middle..
-Mikel doesn't seem to understand what role he's playing
-Our boys need to stop throwing long balls to Ighalo, it's not working, hasn't worked, and doesn't look like it will work..

They are just too slow
Too lethargic
No fire
No threat
Same thing they've been playing for over month...

Hopefully moses can fall into penalty box and get a cheap pk

just too slow, it is like a training session, no sense of urgency, no bite, no force. I pity them when they face Argentina and Iceland.

Well, let’s admit that Croatia was the better side in the 1st half. They were lucky to score that goal, but they deserved it. Nigeria needs to play more as a team, more short passes, less extra touches. 45 minuets are yet to come. Still have a chance.

They didn't score., that's the most annoying part. It was an own goal. angry
Re: Nigeria Vs Croatia: World Cup - 0 - 2 On 16th June 2018 by Idrismusty97(m): 9:01pm On Jun 16, 2018
Second half should quick start let Nigeria collect one or two more goals let's go and sleep jare. Like a wise Chinese monk once said "It is better to pick beans than to watch Nigeria match".

Etebo has been the best player from our side.. ALONGSIDE a workaholic ighalo despite not getting the right passes. He has managed to make the croatian defence feel some heat.. Shehu should be brought off alongside Mikel.. Let's get a layer who can at least beat a player with a run or move ND open up some spaces in the midfield.. I bet you we winning this. . We die here Go Eagles...
