Same way Egypt came out and dey were punished.. I am not defending rohr though

Arabiandude:

It's a comparison on how a style of play best suit us and not players comparison.
Presently the SE has more attack minded and good goalscorers than defenders, so playing defensive games right now won't benefit us because our defense isn't strong enough to absorb the pressures that will come from top class strickers (we must concede).
But if we go attacking, there is no defence in the world currently that our fast, skillful and aggressive attackers can't break.
And who says we can't do mass attack and mass defence? Don't forget our 2 u17 that recently won fifa U17 world cups both played attacking games.

The best way to defend is to attack.

but amunike won't deny not involving himself with agencies of this player and himself working agent
or involving himself in match fixing saga
remember why Tanzania sacked him

elyte89:



U and dis ur "soaking " policy


So meaning KANU might av had soaked up d knowledge of van gaal and wenger

5inchdick:

I agree with the bolded.
But who are these players in our "pool of players? We really hype our average players so much.

komekn:

Deviation, why do you think Etebo couldn't just get going in the Championship. I was so dissapointed l thought the league would suit him and he would spring board to the EPL. But he simply failed to excited and dominate consistently. The ting suprise me.

Summary
The German team are one of the most exciting teams at the World Cup in terms of their young talent and array of attacking options. Although Löw has been accused of defensive tactics the team has the ability to counter-attack quickly in incisive break-aways. This might just be the beginning of a very successful national side.

https://timhi./2010/06/05/high-hopes-for-low-and-his-young-talent-germany-2010/

The above was before the 2010 world cup. I watched the World cup, Germany being my favourite team, and it was clear they were a counter-attacking side.

...
Which brings us to Germany. They too play a 4-2-3-1 and, although Philipp Lahm breaks forward occasionally, theirs is essentially a defensive set-up. Here again goals are the great betrayers; it was bewildering how much praise was heaped on their supposedly fresh, open approach just because they scored four goals in three games. This Germany was superb on the counterattack, and the interaction of the front four of Miroslav Klose, Thomas Müller, Lukas Podolski and Mesut Ozil was at times breathtaking. But this was reactive football.

Have we ever had a better team than this German squad?

charlesemeka85:
good question. them want tiki taka when they lack world class cm midfielders who are confident on possession. with the crop of players we have currently the best tactics is total football ie massive defense massive attack

Bruv it's very very very difficult for a black coach to get a Managers job in England as well as in Europe.

The system is intrinsically racist and corrupted.

With all the black players you have in England and with thier European A licences they cannot get a job. Best you get is youth football.

Look at what happened to Darren Moore at West Bromwich and Chris Houghton at Newcastle. Blatant unrestrained racism.

This is the English life they never talk about in the news.

charlesemeka85:
the attack minded players we can boast of are from the flanks. for tiki taka to be implemented perfectly we need ball playing centre backs and dm midfielder with a highly skilled and technical CAMs which will bring out the desired output of our attackers

in our defense line the 2 decent ball players are aina and ajayi which is the reason i clamor for the inclusion of adarabioyo in the team. ndidi is best at what he does best which is breaking attacks and covering grounds, etebo is not technically sound and skilled. the likes of aribo,ejaria and iwobi are not yet in the class to master and perfect system well

Ajayi is brilliant but also remember Ekong was brilliant playing the ball at the Olympics with Siasia. I think the system of the current Super Eagles have held Ekong back. He was a joy to watch at the Olympics.

TheGoodJoe:


I have no doubt in the abilities of our players. Have you watched Ndidi's composure lately at Leicester? If Rodgers did not give him the nod, we would not know he is capable of such.

It is down to philosophy, scouting and training.

safarigirl:
thank you

sheyishemba:


we have a ball playing defender ...balogun Is a ball playing defender even ajayi can still function as a ball playing considering the fact he started his career as a DMF Ndidi can't hold but can break attack and pass the ball to a player close to him like aribo and aribo is technically sound and if aribo is technically sound why do we need etebo
remember has not been starting any match since aribo came to team
Thank you!!!!

TheGoodJoe:


That is why I am so angry with the induction of Yobo into the coaching crew. What technical expertise is he bringing to the table to assist Rohr in this aspect. In sane climes, no FA should leapfrog Amunike and Finidi that will bring an offensive dimension to the team to land on Yobo. Now they are prepping Yobo for the coaching job.

Bunch of jokers.

Arabiandude:

Oga, it's non skillful players that can't play attacking football but gets their jobs on the pitch done, e.g Dele Alli.
Ejeria, Eze, Iwobi, Aribo can all play attacking football. And who said attacking football means tiki taka? Does Liverpool plays tiki taka?

I don't know what exactly you disagree with.

And what happened to Etebo in your opinion.

Many European coaches sometimes are not tactically astute to adapt thier game to meet the challenges of the English game.

Koeman outstanding coach became lost at Everton.

It's much easier not easy just less problematic to coach when you have better players or players suited to the system you know how to coach.

I almost fainted when Rohr was defending against South Africa. Like how?

Danielnino00:


Your conclusion is the main thing..

Ejuke won't be the first winger we will have that will show so much promises....Even Onyekuru had better stats than him when he was in Belgium...

jihday:
I swear, see our defenders play for teams battling/close to relegation, division two teams or permanently average teams and we want to play attacking football against one of the best teams in the world

You overrate the championship..
Money is about the only thing the championship offers better than the leagues u mentioned there.. and maybe game time..

The championship is filled with average coaches who still play kick and rush football..that's why a lot of championship teams don't last in the EPL..

Any player looking to develop and improve himself shouldn't consider going to the championship or any second tier league unless he desperately needs game time...

Netherlands,France and Belgium have proven to be the best European leagues for young players to develop themselves
