Brian Idowu
We rarely talk about this boy. How’s he doing at his club and how does he rank amongst our potential starters in Russia? Based on his 45mins cameo v Argentina, I think the two areas he might be ahead is in marking and getting up n down the left flank.
OCCUPY NFF!!
Re: Brian Idowu
Even though he resides in Russia, one game should not cement his position on the team.
He needs to show more in the coming friendlies to prove he truly belongs. Same with Egbuehi.
It's interestingly funny how many here are eager to list new findings for the world cup team after
just one outing. Some herein even go as far as listing players that have not even played a
single game. Internet football experts!!!

That just goes to show you how poor the team that qualified was. We qualified because we had weak opponents not because we had a good team.joao wrote:Even though he resides in Russia, one game should not cement his position on the team.

and the 'all star team' that you are suggesting should replace it. When your new recruits lose,
please save the excuse about lack of cohesion because that is where we are headed with the
total overhaul of the qualifying team as you are suggesting.

He scored in his first game, he scored within his first few mins playing for SE, he shut down Argentina, he played like he was part of the team,

Re: Brian Idowu
This so-called Group of Death was no harder than your average UEFA Group. If you go to Conmebol too, teams like Chile, Ecuador and Paraguay who did not qualify, are better than all the three teams in our group.nemi2002 wrote:Ayo Akinfe wrote:That just goes to show you how poor the team that qualified was.

Come to think of it, within Caf, was our group the hardest? I am sure the likes of Ghana, Ivory Coast, South Africa and DR Congo believe they did not qualify because they were in particularly hard groups.

What I liked about Idowu was his defensive positioning. I'm not sold on Aina in the left back position due to this. Elderson is a lot slower, but does not give wingers yards of space to operate. The Idowu I saw was a refreshing combination of having an attacking threat when needed, defensive discipline, youth and speed. Very promising at the very least.

Re: Brian Idowu
I would take Joel Obi and Brian Idowu to Russia as my two leftbacks. I would then have Ola Aina on my back-up list. However, let us see what Rohr decides. His invitation list for the March friendlies will be very informative.greg wrote:Wow this poor boy's name has been gbutchered!

Re: Brian Idowu
Nura is a rightback. I would have Ebuehi as my rightback with Abdullahi as my back-up.

Re: Brian Idowu
We qualified in a group that had 3 previous African champions and 2 teams that qualified for the previous World Cup and some comedian has the nerve to call it a “weak group”? That group was the strongest in Africa, Europe and Asia please stop talking nonsense. I️ believe that rohr made it so easy winning with style, elegance that’s why people are not giving him enough credits

He pretends to know better than the coach, but is yet to tender his application for the job.
It takes a lot of self confidence to put together some of the statements on his 10-pointers.
