Re: Nigeria v Argentina: Rohr announces Super Eagles startin

Rohr must go! The same lineup that Iceland almost slaughtered in the first half is what this man trots out again! Ebuehi is 100X better than Idowu which is an offensive and defensive liability. This man Rohr confirmed has no tactics, just puts players on the field based on based on God knows what n...

Re: FIFA World Cup™ 2018: Nigeria - Argentina: NGA - Pre-Mat

Certain things one can deduce. We'll likely play the 3-5-2 with Mikel, Moses and Musa all starting. Idowu at the press conference might be a decoy because it might make it appear he will start. I think the plan is to start with the side that started the second half against Iceland, but will emphasis...

Re: "NAIJA"

Didn't Lord Obasanjo tell us not to use that word in reference to Nigeria? It seems the team has adopted the word and are now using instead of Nigeria. While I don't have any problem with the word on fans jerseys, I must say I did not like it on the official training jersey for the players. I want ...

Re: Am I the only one believing we will still top the group?

Very unlikely, though I agree the key is having a go at them early, and hammering them with goals They will certainly capitulate if we score first. The part of your hypothesis that won't happen is an Iceland victory. A second string Croatia will beat them or at the very least draw.

Re: Time to sort out our attack

- get the from two closer to each other. In many ways yesterday, Nacho and Musa were not operating as a partnership, but rather as attacking options for their suppliers. Both of them have the skill to work in tight spaces and both a cold hearted finishers. Time to teach them how to operate as a uni...

Re: should Nigeria pack the bus against Arg?

No, we don't need to pack any bus. In the first half yesterday, we attempted so many crossfield passes that didn't quite come off. If they do, Argentina will chop cane. Mark my words. If we score first and early, it might end up quite embarrassing for them because they will keep throwing men forward...

Re: Uzoho, Omeruo, Ndidi, Etobo, Mikel, Musa, Iheanacho, She

they just need to keep the focus and be less panicky, the Argies will come out for war and will dominate the first 20-30 mins, but we will stem the tide and wear them down mechanically with solid team play...hit them on a break or several ,score and see out the game.

Re: EBUEHI calm, creative, strong and commander

Let's leave out the penalty, Ebuehi in the 45mins he played yesterday gave more than Idowu has done in the tournament so far. His introduction gave us with on the left and pushed the Icelanders back. He was showing for the ball all the time, and when he got it, was composed enough to make a positive...

Uzoho, Omeruo, Ndidi, Etobo, Mikel, Musa, Iheanacho, Shehu..

All these came through the Nigerian youth system. The system works. What needs doing is strengthening it, so it continues to produce regularly. The Team B that played Athletico has even more of these in there, and the path has to be created for smoother, monitored transition. If you then throw in th...

Today Rohr Earned His Stripe As A Coach

That half time move to take off an ineffective Idowu injected pace and width into the side. And Ebuehi? Each game he plays, he serves me humble pie. He totally had his man in his pocket. No movement there whatsoever. Love it.

Credit where due. Rohr came to play today.
