How many times did Modric play a straight long ball to Shehu wing?

Croatia clearly knew Shehu Abdullahi was a weak link!

Shehu played fine yesterday.

Lack of creativity at the wings and centre midfield killed us yesterday.

Just watching 10 minutes and I was wondering why we didn't park the midfield and play 5 in the middle. We were lumping balls to Moses which was not effective at all.

The midfield was scanty and Mikel is old and you can't expect him to play alone as a CM. They would bypass him. He needs a 3 man midfield with overlapping wingers to be able to function.

what is set pieces I beg guys?

Okocha don get coaching job nah.... Let's see how he would perform.....

[b][/b]

Oya ooo


Football analyst , wetin una see to this

Make I dey observe and read jejely here

sheylarhh:
Why?...Make Okocha cum coach na make we see wetin he go do...naso Oliseh criticise cum fail for super eagles.... It is easier said than done

But atleast his ideal is welcome

The 3-5-2 is the best for his team. This man is clueless

we are not matured enough to play 3 man defence...and formations don't win u games...there is nothing wrong with 4-2-3-1 its even the easiest formation to digest because u can use it to switch to 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 easily..okocha doesn't know what he is saying... morocco has been using 3 man defence and worked well in the qualifiers and they played Iran they lost....the issue is we don't have intelligent players and our tactics were poor...possession without purpose is not football

Nigerians always trading blames.... we have many "good coaches " here. I wonder what stops them in coaching our eagles... pls leave the coach and his boys, they know themselves better, if the boys are not OK with the coaches formation, they will let him know... clearly the fault of last nights game was not from the formation, but as a result of our inability to defend set piece and our finishing touches was overall poor... I believe they can do better in the next match against Iceland.

jay jay should leave the man alone, because if he is given opportunity to coach the super eagles his own mistakes will be worse, we have to focuse on how to win incoming march

Lalasticlala abeg tell Rohr say we in nigeria say anything de do e no concern us na result we want so de should forget social media n get us result even if na passing centre e no concern us

hollandis:
When Okocha talks Rohr should keep quiet

why exactly ma? If it's so easy to coach, Okocha should start with a club in the Nigerian league. This reminds me of a certain Sunday Oliseh who was good in analyzing games but failed woefully as a coach.

As I watched the Argentina and Iceland match today and
wondered why there were no black players in the
Argentinean
team when other South American teams had black or
biracial
players, I remembered a conversation I had last year.
It was while I was on a cruise from Florida to the Grand
Cayman Islands in the Caribbean.
Between an Argentinean doctor and myself, who had
walked
up to me during lunch one day and struck up a
conversation
with me.
There was no hiding the attraction.
We had bonded much to the chagrin of her three
Argentinean
friends.
On the deck of the ship that day, she kept going on about
how
she loves black men and looks forward to traveling so she
can
meet them.
I asked her.
"Don't you have black people in Argentina?"
She said with a matter of fact candour.
"No. Long time ago, after slavery, we killed them all."
I was taken aback.
She smiled.
And continued.
"Very bad. I am ashamed of my people. It was very
systematic
though. Very well thought out. First they forced most of the
men to fight for Argentina against Paraguay. They
knowingly
sent them into battles that were poorly planned so that the
Paraguay army will do for them what they couldn't
themselves
do. Kill the blacks. Most of them died there. The remaining
of
them they forced to live in this province were there was a
plague. A disease that the government refused to curb so
that
it can also do for them what they couldn't do. Kill the
blacks.
The refused to set up hospitals, clinics, adequate shelter,
food
outlets, nothing. They created the best environment for the
disease to thrive. It killed the rest of the men that had
survived the war. The darker you are, the higher the chance
they will send you to that place to live or to the war to die.
The
lighter skinned women they forced them to sleep with the
white men, so that their children are biracial, then they
forced
the children when they grew older to sleep with white men,
so
that the blackness of the skin of the children became
whiter
and whiter until there was no longer any visibly black
people
seen. It was so bad that blacks fled to Chile, Peru, Bolivia,
Brazil and even Paraquay where they were better treated
even
though not as well as they should be treated as human
beings
deserving full equality. Atleast those ones did not want to
kill
them and accepted to give them protection and a means
of
livelihood. As a matter of fact in Chile, there was a city
called
Arica where Black people were so accepted and respected
that in the 1700s two black free man, one called Anzuréz
were
elected mayors. But the white colonial masters from Spain
came six months later and nullified the elections, they were
afraid of other cities giving black people too many rights.
But
the blacks who had found succour did not complain, they
sent
word for others to flee Argentina and come join them.
Afterall
what was cancelled elections compared to certain death?"
Then she went silent as though trying to replay the
magnitude
of the crime in her mind again. Then she said it in a
sombre
tone in order to drive it home to me.
"The ones the Argentineans did not kill through war or
disease, and rape and impregnate, fled the country and
ultimately we got rid of the blacks."
I listened in rising sorrow.
She continued academically.
"So although they abolished slavery in 1815 in Argentina, it
continued until 1853, after that the main preoccupation of
the
leaders was how to get rid of the black slaves and their
descendants. Our president who ruled us from 1868 to
1874,
Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, wrote in his diary in 1848,
this
was long before he became president and slavery ended
that -
'In the United States… 4 million are black, and within 20
years
will be 8 million…. What is to be done with such blacks,
hated
by the white race?' - It shows that he was already thinking
of
how to eliminate black people before he became President
and when he became President, he succeeded."
"Didn't the world say anything?"
"No. They ignored it. I am sure most of them wanted to do
the
same thing but failed. At that time, they admired them. I
remember when I will go to Brazil as a child, my father's
friend
will say in disgust as he looked at the black Brazilians - we
should have had your guts and finished them off. All of
them.
Make Brazil white just like Argentina."
"And the Europeans?"
She laughed.
"It is an open secret, just like King Leopold and his
genocide
in Congo. No one talks about it, but they know about it.
Atleast the older ones do. The younger ones not so much.
Why do you think all the Nazis ran to Argentina after World
War 2?"
I was silent.
She continued.
"Because it was the perfect place for the most evil racists
in
history to live."
Then she looked out to the infinitely blue sea around the
ship
and sighed audibly before she continued.
" Sadly, to some extent, it still is welcoming and
accomodating
of racial hatred. We took the Tango from the African slaves
and made it our own. In Argentina, not one person will tell
you
the true history of that dance. They don't want to associate
it
with Africa. In fact if you ask them about black people in
Argentina they will tell you that there has never been black
people in Argentina. They teach them in schools. They
rewrite
the history. They make it all white. And as I said it is all
underneath the surface. They never come out and say we
hate
black people. Argentina is only for whites or anything like
that.
They have just fixed the country to only be for white
people."
I looked at her friends, Argentineans like her, who were
lounging on the chairs on the deck, clad in their tiny bikinis,
drinking pina coladas and smiling.
She followed my gaze and then turned to me.
"Don't be fooled by all those smiles, scratch the surface
and
you will see that all they want is for you to disappear."

Hey everyone, this man deserves a bottle of anything he takes! This is the perfect formation for the eagles, cos this formation gives u the chance to play from the wings comfortably and also choke up the midfield.plus simy will keep bringing the ball down for the next man to strike!How I wish gernot rohr was reading this

Ndonu101:
Gernot Rohr is not very clever

The set pieces were not exclusive events, the corner kicks came about because we did not control the game. May be in a 3-5-2 formation those corner will not have happened at the time they happened

Omeruo played in Middlesbrough and has experience of defending long balls. He is also a World Cup veteran but somehow not good enough to start. Please we need Omeruo in a 3 man back line

Ahmed Musa is a key player for us. We need his pace for 90 minutes, not 20 minutes. Another World Cup veteran sitting on the bench. He scored 2 against almighty Argentina at the last World Cup

Lack of wing play killed us. Iwobi is not a winger

We need Ebuehi, Musa, Moses in the pitch to give us some pace

Best formation remains 5-5-5

Trust ekong should just retire , he was so childish yerterday

I don't think the coach made tactical mistakes yesterday, it was the quality of the Croatian team we played.
Their midfield was choked with world class players and their defence were more organised.

anytexy:
what is set pieces I beg guys?

Corner kicks, free kicks & even throw-ins.

Whenever an attacking team is given the advantage of restarting after interruption, or after the ball goes out of play.

KACHIKWU IS WHAT HAPPENS TO TOP TECHNOCRATS IN THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT, ESPECIALLY IN A BUHARI PRESIDENCY

When President Buhari finally unveiled his ministerial appointees in 2015, Dr. Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu was one of the very few stars in the galaxy of the same old, same old career politicians Buhari assembled.

With a PhD from Harvard and a good career in the global oil industry, Kachikwu was a promise of great things for the Nigerian oil industry. But what has happened? His technocratic pedigree has been neutralised by the political authority that operates above him.

This validates what Prof. Kingsley Moghalu has astutely identified to the Nigerian electorate: top technocrats working under the political authority of incompetent and visionless elected officials cannot deliver optimally.

To actualise the full performance capabilities of top technocrats in government, the electorate needs to vest political authority in some of them, by electing them as president and governors.

Kingsley, a top technocrat, has put himself forward to Nigerians by running for president in 2019. We need to support him and ensure he becomes our next president. That way, his competences and those of other technocrats he will appoint to his government can best serve our country.
