@charlesemeka85.
Rohr will definitely pick his squad irrespective of who recently joined.

1. Uzoho
2. Aina. 5. Ekong 6. Ajayi 3. Collins
4. Ndidi. 10. Iwobi 8. Aribo
7. Chukwueze. 9. Osimhen 11. Kalu

His Options on the bench will be:

In Defense
13. Omeruo
14. Awaziem
15. Balogun
16. Ehizibue

In Midfield
17. Shehu
18. Etebo


On the flanks
19. Musa
20. Simon

In Attack
21. Iheanacho
22.Dessers

Goalkeeper
23 Ezenwa

If Ejaria joins then Iwobi may have to move to the wings if Ejaria performs well in the CAM role. And Shehu will have to slug it out with someone on the rightback or defensive midfield to keep his shirt. Name don't play football, form does.

About K. Nwakali, you are not telling the truth. He played professionally in the Netherlands & Portugal. Stop spreading falsehood.

Spencer Dinwiddie is very good. If its true, that's a lovely addition.

Sometimes I think this guy is better off in midfield than defense. Good in the air & shoot well from distance. Dude first touch still needs work on.

tbaba1234:
Awaziem is more solid defensively but Ehizibue will give you more as a right back going forward. He is also comfortable as a right winger. His pace helps him get up and down quickly.

It depends on what we want. If we are under pressure, Awaziem might do better there. Ehizibue can even play infront of him to tighten the right wing.
Baba you are always spot on. I have watched the two players closely. And i can say you are very correct.

Is Cyriel Dessers a good option for the Eagles?
Dude is a bully with the ball or with his sight set on it. And shoot well with both feet. Though could be the least hard-working player on the pitch.

Frankly speaking, I don't know much about these technologies but not long ago I decided to buy a new set-top box for my tv. I'm tending to buy a Linux based stb on switchonshop but still I want to gather more opinions and testimonials.
My candid advice, stay away from Linux boxes if you are not well knowledgeable in computer & satellite stuffs. It favours mostly european beams. Typical box like tiger, starsat, csat, starmax etc., will give you more joy than you could ever get from the constant tweaking of third party plugin ipks you will get from Linux box.

I think this icone iron boxes are grossly overpriced. The only thing going for them is the algerian orca server. A decoder for over a 100k. Can someone remind me how cheap is technomate lnb too?

Most high end decoders don't read high signal level. Even at 40% some of their signals are stable on some boxes. They are now more into tunning the decoder's to do more than just watching free to air.

I was on that road yesterday and in that traffick. It is just shameless how uniform men sometimes allow trifles to take control of their emotions & sense of responsibility. Whether the driver was hausa or not, which he probably was, does not matter. It could be anybody. Seeing him dead being shot from the back of his head from the driving position was sheer heartless & bring one to tears. Blood was flowing down the truck. Just N50 o!

Morning all. Please i need someone to enlighten me. I observed this morning the hdmi port of my tiger decoder is no longer working. Lightning struck last night and i heard a spark in the house from the hisense tv end though there was no electricity in the house. Its the second hdmi port am losing this year from both end. The first was the home theater. Surprisingly, all my lnbs are working & the box.

@Ismy5000, dvbt2 is not multistream. Don't mislead people. That's terresterial signal. Your box is definitely not a dual multistream. But boxes mentioned by Captainus can surely do that. Dual multistream is when you have two tuner of dvb-s2x in a box and not dvb-t2 & dvb-s2x

As the friendly game against Brazil gets closer, these are the areas i observed in the last game against Ukraine that needs improving.
* There was plenty of space in front of our back four through which the opponent explored from time to time.
* Slow reaction from our full backs.
*Occasional lapse in concentration by Aina.
* Observed wide gap between the two Centrebacks which made the opponent to be slicing through them as their striker made runs on their blind side.
* Opponents not quickly closed down in the latter part of the game in midfield.
* Selfish play from the right winger.
* And Iwobi's poor shots at goal.

TheSuperNerd:
To Elyte89... and all Ndidi mega critics.


I am a critic myself but first I am our Players' biggest praise singer and Super fan...

Now I hope you saw Ndidi as a Lone DM today again. Wait.. relax.. I know you will say he is different for Leicester than he is for Nigeria. But just listen first...


Ndidi as a Lone DM in the Super Eagles 3-man midfield of Ndidi-Aribo-Iwobi will get the job done and keep things super simple. No ball hugging, no overelaborate plays... Just mark, intercept, win balls, win duels (ground or aerial), and pick a simple pass to your advanced teammates.

Aribo will concentrate on transiting plays and ball carrying while Iwobi roams as the creative spark of the team centrally.

I have said this before... One of Ndidi or Etebo must be sacrificed and my pick is Etebo to be benched despite his energy levels and super balling skills because as a DM Ndidi is more disciplined and keeps it simple. Ndidi also rivals Etebo's workrate. So Etebo loses out in the DM role.

In the CM role, Aribo transits plays much better than Etebo. This only means that Etebo will have to make do with a place on the bench in the evolution of this Super Eagles team going forward.




Final Note: You will see the best of Ndidi if you play him as a Lone DM having a defined CM and True AM in front of him and not as a DM in a double pivot. This is why the Ndidi we saw at Egypt 2019 was either above average or basically decent/average.
You have said it all.

In Ndidi, we have a holding midfielder who plays a disciplined defensive role, breaking up play or disrupting the opposing team's attacks or blur the boundaries & being mobile and efficient in passing.

In Aribo, we have a player whose role is divided roughly equally between attack and defence and to dominate the play around the centre of the pitch. He is expected to pass the ball to the team's attacking midfielders and forwards and may also help the team's attacks by making runs into the opposition's penalty area & attempting shots on goal. And he's duty bound to track back to his box to make tackles and block shots and also run to the opponents' box to try to score.

In Iwobi, we have a player who is positioned in an advanced midfield position, usually between central midfield and the team's forwards and his role is primarily offensive. He is expected to be the creative spark/playmaker between the forwards and the midfield.

Azubuike as a cm? And how many goals and assist does he have since moving to Europe?

As poor as etebo is as a cm which is not his natural position he still manages to get goals and assist for stoke
Etebo was never poor as a cm. The role of a cm is divided roughly equally between attack and defence and to dominate the play around the centre of the pitch. He is to pass the ball to the team's attacking midfielders and forwards and may also help attack by making runs into the opposition's penalty area and attempting shots on goal.

he has to be as good as kelechi nwakali or azubuike okechukwu in passing the ball before he will be acknowledged
But Ndidi is a defensive or holding midfielder. Nwakali is a Deep lying midfielder while Azubuike okechuckwu plays mostly as a central midfielder & sometimes box-to-box. Different role on the pitch.

Rohr is not tactically inept as many would want to believe.

He knows how to deliver some great perfomances, what he lacks is bravery, I don't know what he's scared of.
Rohr is scared of defeat. Most Nigerians are highly impatient football fans. They have no tolerance for defeat. How their team did it they care less. They just want to hear Eagles won. And then the goal scorers. But some care more. Fluidity or transition of play, composure of players, tactics and technical competence of players and so much more.
SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by zoboizee: 2:08pm On Sep 29, 2019
With Gernot Rohr, Nigeria's chance against Brazil is almost zero. You can't park the bus & play on the counter attack against Brazil especially when the space between your two center backs are so obvious that attackers keep running behind them( as we had it against Ukraine) every now and them. The old Rohr we know will probably keep faith with a defence of Awaziem, Ekong, Omeruo & Collins and a midfield of Ndidi, Etebo & Iwobi. The frontline will be Chukwueze, Osimhen & Kalu. Barring injury to any player.

edi287:
Where are you getting this idea that Zuby and Etebo are similar?? I haven't watched Zuby that much(mostly at the Olympics and a few games at Turkey) but he is very different to Etebo. If anything, he is an alternative to Ndidi.

You guys need to stop looking at Etebo as a defensive player. He is an attacking player whose versatility is hampering him.
You don't know how annoying it feels when I see Rohr playing him as the deepest midfielder.
Brother, i share your feeling. It irritate me watching Etebo play defensive midfield. I watched him at Warri Wolves, U23 Afcon, the Olympics & Feirense as an attacking player. The difference is so clear.
