Is DT not d same injury DT kept Rooney out for almost a month

I doubt it. Iheanacho played last season with leicester with a fracture in the hand. With a cast, he will be fine.

I hate to say this, but I think people are over stating this Musa/Iheanacho combo.
The truth is that they still have a lot of work to do when it comes to their combination play, because in the last game, they actually hardly found each other with connecting passes, through balls or 1-2s. (see Dwight York, Andy Cole partnership)
Yes, we scored 2 goals but it was down to individual endeavor more than great combination play between those 2.
Hopefully, the coaching crew work on those with their combinations if that's the way to go.

What you need to understand the majority of contributors fall into the category of fanatical fans. Seeing things only one sided.

Iwobi does not backtrack with any real conviction and when he plays on the wing he lacks discipline and drifts to the middle. So his wing play is very suspect.

The question ❓ we fail to answer what did the combination of KC and Musa produce.

What I saw was KC buzzing around but not sure what level of end product and or indeed what major impact on the game he was having. Pressing he pressed but didnt really threaten the CB'S of Iceland in that game. Didn't see any aerial or physical threat from him as well.

What I did notice was far more combination play with Musa and Ighalo and a greater impact on the game with his hold up play and goal threat.

Two goalkeeping errors have made Senegal concede twice.

Too bad

No Sir,Aina was called to camp cos we are having issue with RB position.

The build up to our WC and Afcon qualifiers should tell you that, remember against Tanzania Musa Mohammed played as RB but Rohr wasn't satisfied and deployed Ndidi as RB against Zambia in Ndola.Also Omeruo played the position against Algeria and Shehu played it against South Africa.

This was what prompted Rohr to search for quality RB in Aina and Ebuehi.Prior to Cameroon match,Aina was to start but his late paper clearance from FIFA denied him and Shehu performance against Cameroon gave him an edge later run.

Aina introduction as LB in eagles was due to Echiejile injury against Zambia, remember he came in for Echiejile and he continued the role against Algeria and Argentina.

Aina's eagles invitation was to solve our initial RB problem but circumstances pushed him to LB but failed to seized the opportunity.

No sir, he was called upon for left back option not right back. He was never called for right back and was rarely used on the right side. Its an open secret na. How come you didnt know he was called for the LB?

Senegal have lost their way.

tbaba1234:


That is interesting. I do not see Iceland beating Croatia with 2 unreplied goals. In the Qualifiers, they defended and scored the odd goal.

Good thing, it is in our own hands.

The caveat is that Croatia may rest about 5-6 of their regulars, recall they have sent Kalinic home, so they are already a player short .
A highly motivated Iceland might fancy their chances against the Croatian second string. I think that's the reason Mikel obi complained.

U should have taken Badou off long before now.
Fight on Senegal, a draw won't be bad

safarigirl:
the combination that has been proven to work is the Iwobi-Iheanacho combo

How many times were they used and against which oppositions?

How many goals came from the combo?

Take nothing away from Japan, they have a very good side. Despite their physiques, they are also damne physical unlike South Korea

and how s that going bout now?

See football analysis is one hell of a useless job I hate with passion cos football can never be analyzed.. It all boils down to luck and the fact that what will be will be..

I don't but it was all by Senegal's doing.

I wonder why Cisse abandoned the system that dismantled Poland in their opening match. This one too is good but the polish one gave a more purposeful showing

Senegal and their defense eh

What they lack in combination, they might make up with the chaos factor their running and movement might bring.
Although I have the feeling Rohr might want to pull of a surprise by starting Simy Nwankwo. The ball needs to stick in the Argentine final 3rd for our defenders to have a breather because I suspect they will be very busy.

Either way, we are just making guesses.

M7even:


The camera only flashes through.How did u manage to observe that long conversation between Rohr and Ighalo

If u want to analyse it, start from where the ball was lost through the the time it hit the back of the net.

Left to me, I wouldn't sub in Cheik Ndoye for Badou. Those two always concede possession and their marking, so poor. I would rather sub out badou for Kouyate, to give alfred and Kouyate the chance to correct things.

Yea though I wouldnt blame them that much

Sheesh!! Catching up with this thread is a huge mission!
Moving to fast!!!

[s]I am not saying Ighalo is exceptional. However, Iheanacho that you clamouring for has also done next to nothing this year in the National Jersey. All the games he has played for us he had just one shot on target, that tame shot against DRC. Against Iceland he had no shot on target, no assist, one shot ridiculously off target, no area ball won, he did practically nothing better than Ighalo in that match. However, when Ighalo came in, he had One shot on target, won two area balls yet you are clamouring for someone who was begging for a tap in to start ahead of Ighalo. #Sentiment[/s]

TRASH

Who is clamoirong for Iheanacho? The problem with you people is that you always assume that because we don't want a certain player, it automatically means we want Iheanacho. Did I not say this morning that we should play Musa and Iwobi? Can you make an opinion without bringing in your nonsense pettiness?

We are clamouring for anybody but Ighalo, because Ighalo brings bad luck to the WHOLE team. Nobody cares about chances that never get into the net.

The same Ighalo that has offered nothing to the national team in almost a year, is who you people are shamelessly clamourong for. Emphasis on SHAMELESSLY, because, if you have small shame, you will not mention Ighalo here.

The last time Ighalo scored for us is last year August. In many other countries, a forward with such an abysmal record would not even be at the World Cup, but here we are managing Ighalo and you are still yarning rubbish about aerial threat and hold up play.

May God deliver you people from the spirit of losing, because it is only someone who likes losing thay will still be mentioning Ighalo to start for us at this point.

I once said here that Ighalo is a good player, his only problem is that he is unlucky. You think football is solely about talent and technique, it is NOT. That is why Ighalo must be on that bench, whether it is for Kelechi or Musa or Iwobi.

No go Twitter yarn this kain trash before dem use swear destroy your destiny. It is only on Nairaland that you can mention Ighalo like this, even at that, only on this thread. Don't mention that name in the presence of football-loving Nigerians who want to win

Someone should tell this girl we need more of that anointing. Lol

He is just being academic. It's not even in accord with commonsense. Musa scored the goal. That's all that matters!

The talk about 'doing things the right way' in this context is arid idealism.

Goal wey dem don score na im person dey bewail against saying a pass to Iheanacho is the right thing to do. What if Iheanacho misses?


This talk I must say with respect doesn't hold water.

Yall can easily dig Good joe's comment after the match where he scored for leicester and Michael Owen said he was supposed to pass. You will get the gist

Humility017:


you even wanna see Ighalo...me don't wanna see him at all...let rohr give other players the opportunity to impress..... especially simmy...he is a high profile striker in Italy
let's see what he has to offer

Lol. I dunno but from the way the bench scene was during the match, I can say Ighalo does have knowledge of the game the way Rohr wants it, but his outputvis crappy. I could see Ighalo begging to be brought on after Musa scored the second goal... Like seriously?

Me I wish Simy takes top spot against Argentina.

But that game is the beginning of the real impact of Winfred Ndidi till we leave Russia. He must be his top form. Iwobi should start from Centre to me. I'd prefer a Moses come on second half when running must have weakened the Argies defence.
