Joebie:
All our past heroes deserve respect. However the player in question is Enyeama. I don't get your logic that says don't apologize to Enyeama if you won't apologize to past players who we disrespected in the past. Very faulty reasoning.

Enyeama had issue with his coach and not the Nff and decided not to play for Nigeria again as if the SE belong to Oliseh, and you say we should apologize to him and my question is apologize for what? Rohr ou current coach have approach him, shoromu did same, we go fry sweet for him abi until the whole Nigeria knee to beg him. Arrant nonsense

komekn:
I would advise caution unless you can speak to Enyeama personally it's all hearsay.

Enyeama is capable of making his own public statement. Furthermore, if the NFF want Enyeama who has served the country sacrificially and meritoriously. There is a far more dignified and respectful way to approach him than all this unnecessary rhetoric in the media.

I still feel that he deserves an unreserved apology for the way he was treated.

Are you saying shorumu wis lying? Abeg apologize to Enyeama for what, then we should also go back to apologize to Ike Uche and other former players that was unfairly treated because of one man( the coach) decision.

Carinaflo:
Good morning, did you attend? What was the out come. My cousin got the same invite this week and she is trying to decide if she should attend or not.

Your sister shouldn't waste her time, they are fraudstars

For those calling for the return of Enyeama, we have heard from someone that spoken with him personally, allow the young to enjoy his retirement.

Sorry to say dont u think that these leaders didnt seek counsel from GOD before instilling such a command.

the church believe in "Holiness without which no man shall see the Lord" and they try every means to flee from all appearance of Sin. Its a holiness church and know what they want though they might make mistake along the line by being "too holy" as outsiders will say.

Princeboca12:
Baba sorry to ask oo. Do you still watch TV?

Yea, I watch TV, I think the church leaders no more see TV as the devils box bt as a means to evangelize

Attended Deeperlife as a child.... Made me grounded in the word of God. Enjoy most of their programs like the holiday camp and SAY

Our prayers are with you Ikeme

sontoly2:
I don't know why we fans won't solve problem from the root, if u see ur striker is not good at air why not play ground pass, are we trying to say we should start inviting tall players cos we cant play one good ground pass or accurate pass.

who ever is shouting on Iheanacho is very biased, the coach shld be blamed for not using what u have effectively.

if u see ur opponents are tall it is foolishness to play ball in the air, against Cameroon we shouldn't try it cos they will so much disgrace us.

I believe Mikel will stabilize the midfield, and why is it that iheanacho is the talk of town? is it because he plays for city? a big club, but Iwobi also plays for arsenal, why is nobody talking abt him?

for goldfish iheanacho is Nigeria problem, no matter how bad the midfielders are Iheanacho just must do something to score or get a shot at goal or else he's out of the SE

Lazyerudite:
I feel we all watched the match and noticed that most passes were either overhit or undergo. No one is even focusing on our midfield which is very key if we want to win any match. The fact that people just expect a striker to do wonders without a good midfield is surprising to say the least. You can only score if you have the ball.

Bro preach on, most guyz here don't see the midfield as a problemn the only problem they saw on that match day was Iheanacho, for them remove Iheanacho and bring in Anichebe, kayode, martins or even Sunday Odey and Nigeria will beat any team.

forgiveness:
That is one of the major part of their strength.

I doubt

forgiveness:
Did I suggest Etebor? No

I will rather play a natural CF like Martins, Kayode and Adi against Cameroon. EOD.

On his feat, Nacho can but on the air, I am sorry he is not good enough.

the pelzon I quoted said he prefer Etebo to Iheanacho as a false 9. Btw is Kayode or Martins better than Iheanacho on the air?

forgiveness:
At 1.87m Iheanacho is tall but he doesn't seem to fit into our 4-2-3-1 pattern.

He doesn't have the attributes of a Lone CF.

He can't hold onto play. He can't control well. He's not good on the air. Many more.

We all know Nacho has good vision to set up a through pass (I no weda e still get am) oo and he is a prolific goal scorer (though as a poacher in Man City) hence the need to play him at the position to utilize his ability.

I sorry, he can't play as a lone CF. EOD.

And Etebo gat all these attributes. I don't agree when people say nacho don't have control give him the ball on his feet, watch the way he controlled the ball before passing to Etebo or his ball control to beat the zambia keeper.

safarigirl:
his bias will not even allow him argue in a straight line.

The long and short of his point is "anyone but Iheanacho"

That's what I noticed, anyone but nacho.

goldfish80:
If we had a taller Striker who could battle and win ariel duels, perhaps one of those balls Kelechi didn't even bother to contest in the air will have been won by him which could have set up attacks quicker high up the pitch against a retreating bafana defence.

If we had a better person up to who could hold up play better than Kelechi, he may have set up Etebo or any on rushing midfielder or winger.

The only time Kelechi got his hold up game right, it nearly resulted in a goal.
If he had managed to do this 5 times, you can fill in the blanks...........

So the Etebo you prefer over Iheanacho will he contest those high balls or hold the ball better than Iheanacho.

You have a tevez,aguero or a messi as your false 9 and the midfield keep playing high balls to him, as a good coach you remove the striker or you ask the midfielders to put the ball on the ground. Btw go watch that game again, those passes were so high even a croach won't have a chance even the crosses from Moses S.

goldfish80:
Atleast the midfield will have something to aim those long balls at. I mean the one off time Kelechi held the ball up properly, he set up Etebor for the best chance of the game. Imagine if we had someone who was doing that all game.
You get the picture?

Yea, we are both looking at the same picture but from different angles, iheanacho inability to hold up ball or get a shot at goal was because of the poor midfield, if you put another 9 there this same poor midfield will make this 9 look poor. I hope you grab

BascoVanVeli:
Pls if anyone should be dropped it should be Etebo. He missed our best chances and offered zero creativity against SA. I can only agree to drop Nacho if the coach wants to punish him for the stunt he pulled.

I agree wih you, how can someone prefer Etebo to Iheanacho as false 9 if not bias, where did he watch Etebo deployed as a false 9

goldfish80:
For me, before I consider starting Kelechi as the no 9 in that game, the likes of Success, Adi, Ideye, Anichebe must have been kidnapped by Evans.

It appears you guys haven't realised that Vic Moses will be missing in the double headers. As a matter of fact he will be MIA for Chelsea pre season.

His absence blunts our attack by a considerable percentage.

If we don't try a different combination up front. What you saw against SA will play out. Might even be worse because the Camerounians are better than bafana.

I wonder the miracle that will make Kelechi to hold the ball up better than he did against a smallish Bafana team to the gaint and more imposing Camerounians. If you can't handle ordinary algebra, is it laplace transforms and fourier series that you will solve?

sorry bruv, football is no mathematics not permutation. I'm still wondering why you guy refuse to see the problem with our SE against SA and keep calling out Iheanacho, the midfield was the problem, if you bring in a big 9 this
Same midfielder will still hit the ball beyond the reach of the big9.

jamel9:
The question is how and when are we going to end this tribal war.

even as much as some of us try to look the other way, tribalism is very visible in this forum.
One thing I admire about forgiveness before now though am not a fan of his method of arguement (operation bring him down kinda arguement) is his ability to avoid throwing insult even when been attack but the guy just fall my hand.

Nice development here, the place is heating up everybody grab your partner and let the insult keep flying. Free for all

Abeg Thegoodjoe criticize or castigate Awaziem and Iheanacho so we all can move on

Kog45:
My man but some don't even want Onazi in starting lineup coz they see rookie Agu as a better player but now Onazi is a player much is expected from,i just finished watching d match again,honestly is a match we should forget and move ahead.

Yea we can give excuse for ndidi or Agu that they are Rookie or no national team experience bt wat can we say for Onazi.
Guy that match pain me, if we had lose to libya or one other small nation, I won't feel this much pain.

BascoVanVeli:
Wow so u mean for ur mind Ndidi and Etebo had a good game?

Don't misunderstand me, you said Ndidi and Etebo was poor and I say Onazi was not better, hw will I say any of our player had a good game after losing 2-0 at home to SA, they all had a bad game bt Onazi take more of the blame. To who much is given much is expected.

BascoVanVeli:
This is just comical. So u are blaming Onazi for the other midfielders not playing well? We should also blame him when they don't tie their shoe lace correctly.

did Onazi play any better than the other two guyz, No. He can't claim to be an experience player without any visible evidence on the pitch

BascoVanVeli:
What does Onazi have to do with Alhassan Ibrahim? I just see that u are taking the easy way out. Ndidi barely completed a pass and had trouble trapping the ball. Etebo brought zero creativity into the match. Onazi was not perfect but anyone who gives him the brunt of the blame either doesn't know football or is being sentimental.

The captain and most experience player in a 3-man midfield and you say he should not be blamean he could not do a simple job I.e organise the midfield.

Icon4s:
Even though I did not agree with some part of this write up but I had to go back again to look at the moniker that wrote this to be doubly sure of the author.

This is the only fair analysis you have given of the game since weekend.

Hahahahahah so I was not the only one that went back to double check the writer

Mickael2:
Nobody is blaming him for the loss, however we are pointing out that he was very very poor

Iheanacho was not very very poor , the team in general was poor

BascoVanVeli:
I think blaming Iheanacho borders on scandalous. We did not have a single shot on target, the coach takes all the blame in my book. Honestly Rohr made a poor call by removing Kelechi. He had been playing the boy for 90 minutes all this while and the first time there was pressure he removed him. Also that change had no effect because it was effectively the same setup we had on the field.

while some are trying so hard to put the blame on iheanacho, Thegoodjoe is doing well to balance the equation. Rohr removing Iheanacho was a wrong call. Thegoodjoe ia also giving excuse for Iwobi and awaziem so you guyz should leave nacho alone and focus on another player.

goldfish80:
Iheanacho: Struggling to live up to his billing


d TheGoodJoe is right.

TheGoodjoe never said Iheanacho had a good game, if I understand me well he just gave reason why nacho game appear poor against SA which I somehow agree with him, Nigeria lost 2-0 to SA at home, the whole team was poor bt the midfield was a disaster.
