by the way Anderson is a midfielder. you can't purchase a striker's instinct, show me where Ronaldo or Messi has ever done something like that before

a no read ready start digging instances but there are many cases from Tevez and Rooney, Ronaldo and Romario, Gabriel Jesus and Aguero, where they had the chance to score and chose to pass to the other in better position.

Finito.

@theGoodJoe....... maybe Rakitic shouldn't have buried the 3rd Goal against Argies too, he should have passed the Ball to the No. 9 Guy ba?!

Can you at least stop being stubborn pls? It's apparent no one buys your Idea, yet you keep preaching it.

Pls..... let's forget the Ish and talk better thing Jhoor!

If the 9 is in better position, the right option is to pass.

The way Nacho begged and begged for the ball was so funny...Lesson... Don't let anybody take glory for your work. Even Nacho wouldn't have passed after all that run. And Musa needed to prove he is better than most people who has been played ahead of him...Point taken,Musa, but you better keep it up.

Team glory is better than personal glory.

I have nothing hidden in my Sleeves though, just wanna be peaceful with Everyone cos we are Brothers already!

There is something I certainly know; we all want the same for the Eagles - Success! Even those casting Aspersions upon the Team are doing it out of love for the Eagles.

You need to see how Peeps on the European Section followed and celebrated the Victory. Many of them just don't wanna have full Confidence in the Team like us here and eventually get disappointed.

One Love is all I want.

This is one thing most guys in here fail to understand.

Guy I dont shy away from bashing anybody, and I dont bitter when bashed as long as I went over board. But trust me, one thing I dont do is keeping malice. This is a faceless forum so I think it's illogical being in enmity with someone u dont even know.

We all are here for one thing/interest and no one loves the team more than the other

Mickael2:



the space we gave them on that first half would be suicidal against Argentina
I hope we start the way we finished that Iceland game(it wasn't the perfect match either because we still left spaces but at least if we can manage to outscore them it would still be the same) because this is a wounded team, if they take a two goal lead they'd want to use us and turn on the screw and send out a message. We really shouldn't leave that kinda space for Messi at all
I'm more worried about Argentina's attack against our defense. Can we contain them?

be it 3-5-2 or when it morphs to a 5-3-2 the baseline there is that it creates space for players like Messi. do you remember that match against Chelsea? He had space to operate over and again.

You cant compare Barcelona squad with that of Argentina. They are miles apart. Remove the attack from Argentina and you are left with shafts

Stop beating around the bush. Anderson had the pace and talent to skin the Goalkeeper but he chose to square the ball to Tevez who was in better position to score. Are you saying Anderson has not played football or you played more ball than him? Even the commentator in the clip said it clearly, SO UNSELFISH.

now I have actually watched the video. Baba, Musa had to beat his own man, he fashioned that chance out of nothing unlike Anderson's own that was all about passes and passes. Tevez created the chance for Anderson and shifted in immediately for a return pass, that is way way different from what happened

Something is sure in that game. We will have plenty of defending to do.

Our 3-5-2 would look more like 5-4-1 as the Wing Backs would have plenty of defending to do at the Side Back positions and one of the 2 forwards (Iheanacho) will have to occasionally join the midfield. Musa's pace would be greatly needed when counter-attacking opportunities come.

Spot on ,and thats why you need VicMo to be discipline and dont go thinking he is a winger because dude already thinks he is the star player of the team. Ebuehi will definitely start, who to me is one of the most disciplined player we have in the team. We need to play very physical with these guys and thats why Musa, Etebor,Ndidi and Mikel had to start. If I have the power I would drop Moses, move Etebor to RWB and bring Iwobi in Etebor's position to give us more vision.

he's talking about changing the players, not necessarily the forwards alone

Iwobi has dealt with them before, he can do it again, he and Musa also played together in that game and Musa had the assist for his second goal. So, Iwobi should be ahead of Ighalo and Simy if we are talking forwards that can play with Musa

You're right. Iwobi is actually a better creative version of Nacho but not as strong. We would have to forget about our aerial threat upfront though grin and I fear that the team won't have a proper no 9 striker because for all of Musa goals, he's still not a lead striker but just a SS, likewise Iwobi who isn't a striker.

But I'm all for trying both Musa and Iwobi as our 2 forwards. I know Iwobi is alway a threat.

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

you will bench musa because they plan to mark him out??

why won't Argentina bench messi because we planning to mark him out too??

bros Argentina don't even have the kinda defenders that can defend musa speed, musa playing as a striker is dealing with the central defenders and not the wingers, most defenders are slow

my Oga, we'll be under pressure throughout the game, this match will test our defensive organization I'm suspecting Dybala and Di Maria will start along with Messi and Aguero. that match na die

Never said they were infallible. Said that they are less prone to being sentimental.
It was a close shave last night for them. Although, I think that last minute goal was a destiny changing goal.
In most cases, when a team suffers and get that goal which snatches victory from the jaws of defeat, such a team usually go far.
I call it destiny changing goal.

why will you play Ighalo at all?

If you want a change, then don't start Idowu, start Ebuehi in Idowu's position, maybe drop Kelechi for Iwobi or Etebo for Ogu.

Nothing should ever make anyone reason starting Ighalo for us.

iwobi for nacho is a very good option and we add another dimension to the game

Then that means the right players must start. At least 3 fast paced players to lead the front.

Then strong midfielders

Plus defenders with less errors.

Nnaa, I get your point but if you have ever played soccer wella you will understand the state of mind Musa was in that moment. I mean, he dusted a defender, a goalkeeper and now standing right in front of the net and you say pass....At that point he felt like a king Kong and you say pass. If he was gonna pass it should have been after beating the defender.

Look that pass you were looking for is just like giving to a charity. It is commendable when done but it's also not by force to do.

Is it not about time Victor Moses sits on the bench to figure out what he is at the world cup to do? That short man has continued to stifle Nigeria attack of any life left in it. I am completely depressed whenever he is on the field....If he is not falling with a little touch ,he is dribbling nonsense when he is not dribbling his forefathers out of space he is ballooning the ball. I am tired and frustrated with Victor Moses. And let me hear anybody call him the star player of the team. That AKPUDA contributes lameness to the team.

Whenever he has the ball his first instinct is to dribble and we all can count on our fingers how many times Victor Moses has had a successful dribble that resulted into a goal...VicMo is TRASH and he is not gonna improve. And dinosaur Rohr will not do the needful and bench he ,rather he will add spineless Ighalo and keep Iwobi on the bench.

The problem,of Super Eagles now is the coach,the danm coach!!
He needs to be fired ASAP.




bros what did vic Moses do to you?

vic Moses did very well in that match, make we stop this things na

LMAO..... of course he was! But have you re-watched the Match?! I swear it's gonna be hard for Iheanacho to score the Goal had Musa passed to him coz there are 2 Defenders covering the Posts already.

Iheanacho gonna need time to adjust, calculate before aiming the Net, and the Question is; do we really get the time?!

Musa was the perfect Man for the Job, he needed no reason to pass coz he's motivated already, fully immersed in the Spirit and had eyes and mind on scoring the Goal.

pls let's end this Discourse, coz that's not what we should be discussing now.
