I know strikers can be selfish. Nice it worked out but Musa should be called on the play and next know he is to pass to players in good scoring positions to increase our chances to win.

Finito.

Icon4s:


Oga, talk true, you no enjoy the goal?

Musa had the momentum and initiative, he had already beaten the two defenders and his player instinct told him he could finish up the goalie. Football no be beans o.

Mujtahida:

As if it was absolutely guaranteed that if he had passed the ball to Iheanacho, Iheanacho would have scored.

Like Icon4s said he scored and that shows he made the right choice. Finito

TheGoodJoe:
After watching the development of the team during the two games, I present my preferred formation an set-up to play the Argentines.

chimzyblack:
We don't need any Moses as part of the front two,he is better in the wing back role, he loves direct runs, and playing him as part of the front two means depriving him of the space he enjoys.
Musa also loves to run too but the difference between musa and Moses is that Moses is too direct with his runs but musa is not so direct he can easily make those swift turn that can confuse the defenders while in MOTION and this is very key to scoring goals.

MY PREFARED LINE-UP FOR ARGENTINA

UZOHO
EKONG-BALOGUN-OMERUO

MOSES-NDIDI-MIKEL-IWOBI-IDOWU

IHEANACHO-MUSA



# IWOBI to play an Am/Cm role and will start ahead of Etebo
He (etebo) didn't offer much going forward much as an AM, there were two occasions where Etebo had the chance to lay a good pass to Iheanacho or musa instead he opted to shoot and was blocked on both occasion an IWOBI would have given a defence splitting pass that could have resulted in a goal or at least a better attempt at goal.

SUBS
1.Etebo comes in for Iwobi btw the 60-70 minute.
2.Ebuehi for Idowu.
3.Simi for Iheanacho

charlesemeka85:
oga idowu is a no no. rohr should mainatain the same line up that started the second half

Bolowolowo:
If you analyze this game closely, Belgium has alot of vulnerabilities. Their defense is bad and their passing is somewhat suspect.

Triniti:
breaking news.......Carl Ikeme free from cancer!!!

Hkana:


Mikel did very well. He played his role as the Captain excellently too. I particularly liked his delay tactic. Lol

On my own, I wouldn't want us to score and defend either because doing so would give the Argies an edge. Instead, I'd rather we score, hold them off and tell all of them "WE DIE HERE!"

tbaba1234:


He was very good. Confident on the ball and even took on his defender at least once forcing a corner. Apart from the penalty, i thought he was outstanding.

Joebie:
I’m an Ebuehi fan, but that performance yesterday was not “outstanding” at least I’m my opinion. Let’s leave it at that.

elyte89:



.at times,d way some ppu exaggerate our players performance, one will become dumbfounded

TheLoneCitizen:
Now that we've celebrated enough, let's scrutinize the performance.


1. Iceland underrated us: In the second half, notice at the blast of the whistle, Iceland, a defensive team bombed five players into our area. It seems their manager had told them to attack our lackluster first half team. This failed, though.

2. We are without a doubt, a second half team. We tend to get better in every game after the break.

3. Moses is selfish. You would notice Moses although not displaying any form of shenanigans didn't put his all in the game. He was dissatisfied at playing at wingback and didn't play with enough intensity. Sadio Mane and Firmino is playing unsung roles in both Senegal and Brazil, but put the team first. But I prefer a dissatisfied team Moses, to a self-centered egoistic individual.

4. We don't have defence splitting passers. Iheanacho made great runs, but couldn't get good service.

5. Ebuehi would be great for Benfica, he is surprisingly calm for an African. He shut down attacks from his flanks. He must be really doing something wrong behind the scenes for him to be constantly overlooked.

6. Omeruo is a typical old fashioned great centre back. He never went farther than the semi circle, even during corners At one point, he gave Balogun the luxury of becoming a midfielder.

7. Iheanacho has great link up play. He connected the attack to defence perfectly.

8. Ighalo is too lethargic, even when he knew his place was now up for grabs, he still showed no hunger. He caused a promising attack to break down, a third goal would have done our goal difference a lot of good.

9. Etebo is a midfield dynamo. He has heavily relieved Ndidi.

10. Someone has instilled confidence in Uzoho and instructed to bark at his defenders. He is also a very decent goalkeeper, still not found one error in his play.

11. Mikel has great leadership qualities.

12. We are bad but not abysmal at containing aerial balls.

13. Our team revolves around our midfield, this is so obvious though.

14. Musa is Musa.

15. The coach listens to the media and masses heavily. During his previous conferences, it was obvious he was going to try the 3-5-2. This has worked positively but is disadvantageous in the long run.

Joebie:
I’m an Ebuehi fan, but that performance yesterday was not “outstanding” at least I’m my opinion. Let’s leave it at that.

Icon4s:


Imagine if Musa had missed that chance and Iceland then got that penalty

forgiveness:


Ok. But he's a striker converted to winger.

charlesemeka85:
God forbid idowu go start any match in russia again. ebuehi is miles better offensive and defensive wise.

tbaba1234:


He was very good. Apart from the penalty which Omeruo shared a blamed. No one got past him and he kept it simple.
