In FIFA rule, goals difference ahead of Head to Head.

which Argentine wants to man mark Musa?

If they mark Musa, they cannot mark Kelechi. Somebody is telling you that Argentina defense and midfield is rubbish and you are saying they will man mark Musa, how? Is it the forwards that will mark him? Have you ever seen Musa being marked successfully?

Please take this your Ighalo talk to a British forum. You guys will just come out of nowhere and be wishing the team bad luck with your poorly thought-out suggestions

ChrisKels:


Big head, I said how true

diadem10:

He played more backward passes. I stated in my other post that Mikel took up great position but he was retrogressive with his passes especially in the 1st half.

On your second point, leave Musa to do his thing. No be today I know Musa in that SS role. He needs no one to do his thing in that role. Even when Ighalo came on, Musa was still a threat and could have scored the third goal if Ighalo was quick with his decision.

And you're wrong, Ighalo's positioning is good. Can't say the same for his decision making.

ChrisKels:

Thanks oke osisi

100%....... as sure as you visiting and posting on this Thread at this moment while Church Service is on going!

Everyone knows this is a fallacious oddity. Ighalo contributes minimally in the coordination and build up unlike ihenacho. When last did he score, assist or contribute in goal build up?
Stop making a joke of yourself and don't forget those binoculars when watching a game next time.

Lol ode I am a Catholic, I attended 6am mass. We are back already

But me sure say u no go church today

diadem10:

If a team set out to mark a player, they will do with great aplomb even with average players. Have you seen the way Arjen Robben was marked out by them in the last worldcup?

And no, the argentines aint rubbish. They aint just co-ordinated enough.

And who's Iheanacho? The one that was of no threat against Iceland and was losing possession cheaply? Abeg.

Icon4s:


Man mark Musa and Iheanacho and Moses would do the damage.

The problem our opponents would have is the team is so disorganized, sporadic and unpredictable that they wouldnt know who would wreck havoc.

I don't know what your day job is, but stick to that and stay away from match analysis.

You are not even good enough to be tagged an armchair analyst, that is how below par your analysis is.

I think I'm done with you.

diadem10:

lol. Even the coach knew Nacho was rubbish and had wanted to sub him off long before Musa scored his first goal. Na you suppose drop your sentimental binocular 'cos I don't care for any player in the team. I say as it is. Abc.

ChrisKels:
The Argentine team to face Nigeria will be selected by Messi and Mascherano as sampaoli has bn striped off his title.

Let's hit this guys hard even though I am a Messi fanboy, my country comes first. Besides Messi doesnt know I exist

Icon4s:


Naaaa I don't do that clapping stuff no more cos I have seen enough here not to be surprised by any comments again.

Wow! Germans are going home! Hurray!

Mujtahida, do you still think the Germans are infallible?

princfred:
Ihenacho atleast ensures the team has 10 players against 10 unlike with Ighalo were his wrong positioning and minimal participation, makes it 9 vs 10 in-field players.

Mikels back passes were for co-ordination purpose when there was no clean path forward. Somehow you were blind during the numerous moments he spread long balls forward. Also he makes/ made more accurate forward pocket passes than Etebo from the same position. And a better supporter of playmates and anchor play dictator than Ogu.

darkelf:
Am I the only one still not sold on Rohr as a good coach?

It took outcry from other coaches and ex-footballers for him to do the right thing.

If he couldn't decipher the right tactics by himself without imput from Mourinho and the likes, then we are in for a long thing my friends

Anyways, best player in the match wouldn't be Musa, in fact he has been pencilled down and if Messi, Ronaldo and other great footballers have been successfully marked out in times past, I believe the Argentine already have a plan for him.

If I were in Rohr's shoes, I wouldn't start Musa and iheanacho, I'd go with simy and ighalo or iwobi and simy. Trust me just like the Icelandic coach, sampaoli wouldn't see it coming.

I have strong feeling that if we stick to the tactics we used against Iceland and same set of players we started the match with, we'll get beaten black and blue and will end our campaign on a sour note.

Just my opinion guys

gamaliel9:
Argentina will come at us like mad....they will never know what hit them....they will just set themselves up ....fans all over the world will enjoy this match...its going to be explosive...i saw a video in which Argentinians were rejoicing.....hum....some western press were even saying that we gave Messi and his shambolic gang a lifeline by beating Iceland....hum.....I see Argentina coming at us with eight players and leaving two defenders at the back....then it will happen.....hum...adi akolu oshi nti n agha esugo....at the end of this match...somebody will announce his international retirement...i did not mention any name ooooo

diadem10:

What chances did we create with Nacho? Iirc, Musa almost fashioned out his two goals by himself.

Btw, if Ighalo had been quicker with his decision, we would have scored more. As a matter of fact, the team looked more potent with Ighalo because he and Musa played like proper forwards and took up great positions while anticipating the ball in the process unlike Nacho who was forming one stupid activity and losing possession as well. Abeg, watch Dybala play as SS and come back and tell me if that was how Nacho played. Yeye.

TheGoodJoe:


If that was Iheanacho with the ball, I would have preferred him to pass than shoot or dribble keeper. The team winning is more important than individual glory.

Icon4s:

somehow:


So sir what do you want us to do? Go back to replay the match and ask Musa to start all over again so that he can pass to Iheanacho?

Meaning FiFa should cancel the win and reschedule a new match? Why are you dwelling on recooking a cooked rice?

LieDetector:
please you guys should stop using this "unpredictable" rhetoric. Same thing was said before the croatia game. How did it end? Argentina no be beans. They're very good on their day. Underrate them at your own peril.
