TheGoodJoe:


Musa brought directness, if not Onyekuru, I would have picked Musa. I like forwards being mobile. That is why I will pick Ighalo over Onuachu and Iheanacho over Ighalo. Onyekuru has more on the ball skills and goals than Musa. It has nothing to do with liking or disliking any one.

Oasis007:


How many chances created by Chuks?

Oasis007:


How many chances did Chuks create?!

TheGoodJoe:
Special praise goes to Ola Aina. He was just too comfortable in his role and made it look too easy. Hardly left gaps in his play and combined well with Omeruo (Young General) in his defensive duties.

I have not seen such comfort at the LB role since Celestine Babayaro and can not wait to see how Ola Aina performs on the right where he can give deadly crosses.

andrew444:


Musa had a great game, dem go only suggest onyekuru ahead of him and it will not happen, they can deceive their self here, anywhere belle face

Ighalo would have been the scape goat if he didnt score, they would have said he didnt trap that first ball well

Jarus:




He once had 15 goals in EPL.

Oasis007:
Nice Analyses from all Ends. I hope Rohr builds on his Ball that made him to drop Iheanacho and subbed off Mikel at the right time.

In the next Match, I hope Onuachu and Mikel ain't in the starting XI. If Osimhen is fit, I wish to see him lead the Line, with Iwobi as 10 and Musa on the left Wing.

Musa's electric pace is hard to contain, also he's not gumming to the Wing, rather drifting inward to help in the buildup play.

We've got enough Wingers in the Team, thus no need playing Iwobi as a Winger as well. Moreso, if Collins is fit for the next Match, I hope to see him play as a LB and Aina moves to RB.

Certainly Aina plays better as a LB, but we do not have Ebuehi in the Team now, and Awaziem is offensively lacking to play the position.

Akpeyi......?! I pray he won't turn to Akpere (Basket) in the subsequent Matches.

TheGoodJoe:


Iwobi for Onyekuru will add more directness to the forward line up.

TheGoodJoe:


Chuks is not in the question because he brought fluidity. With Iwobi on one side and Chukwueze on the other, most of the breaking down of the tight defence fell on Chukwueze. With Musa coming in, the direction of the defence spread out. Play two direct players. I prefer Onyekuru because he has better on the ball skills.

andrew444:


Taye taiwo ahead of celestine anytime anyday

Oasis007:


Shehu did well prior to his Injury. He attempted some Dribbles successfully. He performed better than Awaziem as a RB in the Match, yet we are celebrating his Injury.

Musa was all over the Pitch. He didn't gum himself to the Wing. He's drifting inward to supporting Iwobi, yet we are not satisfied, thus Onyekuru should start ahead of him.

Muss tracked back, supported Aina well on the left Wing, yet he's wasteful in the final third, out of how many chances he attempted..... 3?!

Oasis007:


Fluidity over creativity in the final third as a wing forward?! Well-done Sir.

Oasis007:


How many chances did Chuks create?!

zuchyblink:
Iwobi is a number 10,Chukwueze is a beast, Omeruo very calm and looks fit, Akpeyi shaking as usual. Good one from the boys 1qs*/z

andrew444:


Hmmmm

Are you sure osimhen will start ahead of penghalo?

Oasis007:


Oshimhen is a natural Striker. He's born for it. If he maintains his discipline and keeps working hard, we've got a Monster in making as a No. 9.

Oasis007:


Fluidity over creativity in the final third as a wing forward?! Well-done Sir.

Jarus:


Exactly. Musa created 2 chances in 30 minutes of play.

TheGoodJoe:


What are you saying? Are you saying Musa was more creative?

TheGoodJoe:


Why?

Oasis007:


Stats are there to check Sir..... How many chances created by Chuks for 90min+?! How many chances created by Musa despite coming in the 2nd Half?!

Kindly spare me of fluidity and directness ish!

ChrisKels:
Not a big fan of misses PenalGhalo, infact I was about slacking him for fluffing his lines when Musa gave him that great pass, but while I was still typing, the guy scored a striker's goal, so I had to delete what I had typed already.

Honestly, Ighalo's goal was orgasmic. Aina is a jewel.

TheGoodJoe:


Musa could create chances because the game was more spread out. Secondly, he was running against a tired defence. Chukwueze did most of the work to break down in a more compact setup with Mikel, Iwobi and Onuachu, non offering directness. With Ighalo, Musa in the side coupled with Chukwueze, we were more fluid and direct.

This has been my criticism of Rohr for a while. We are better with more fluidity and directness. Not saying Musa created more. It shows you are not watching the dynamics and pointing results.

Finito.

andrew444:


Babayaro 27 caps in 9 years for the eagles no goals, i dont know why he could manage such few caps in 9 years

Taye taiwo 58 caps 8 goals in 8 years for the eagles, if taye was consistent in the eagles as mikel he should be the most capped player with about 110 appearance

TheGoodJoe:


Exactly what I thought. You just looked at Musa created chances. I have shown you I pointed this before the game.

Finito.

TheGoodJoe:


Cap in games does not signal quality. I can bet Yobo is more capped than Taribo West but he is a learner when it concerns defending to Taribo. In marking, team work and on the ball skills, Celestine Babayaro dwarfs Taiye Taiwo.

andrew444:


Osimhen is good but i am not sure he will start ahead of penghalo, i was expecting him to start ahead of onauchu as penghalo was not starting

Oasis007:


Lol.

Musa was running at a tired Defense..... Good Excuse to get Onyekuru in the Team ahead of him, coz Onyekuru would be running at a fresh Defense?!

Ckuks broke down which compact setup pls?! Did he create any chance? How many shots on target did he register?!

Note: before una swarm on me and start tagging me an Hater. This is just a pure tactical discussion.

TheGoodJoe:


I am not giving excuses. I am stating my preference. Rohr prefers Musa and he has his reason. However, repeatedly, Musa was on the ball and made atrocious passes. It is not me saying it but his performance. I feel Onyekuru offers more on the ball skills to give us better options to score than Musa.

I have explained why Chuks found creating chances difficult. I can not force you to understand. The explanation is clear. You create more chances with more fluidity. Chuks was causing problems and the Burundi team were aware of his threats. Bringing a second direct player would create more chances. Musa brought this when he came on but I would have preferred Onyekuru because of his on the ball ability.

I am yet to see your problem in what I am saying.

Oasis007:


Hopefully he's gonna be tried out, if we seal our Qualification in the next Match. Honestly I have Trust in him than Ighalo at the moment.

andrew444:


If you say so sha

Osimhen is not bad
