FT 1-0 win IN Poland....don't take it for granted.

Not pleasing to watch but superbly organized and effective footie.

Once Mikel comes in, the midfield is going to look better but we do need to find an alternative cos we definitely can't concede that level of possession to Croatia and Argentina.

That midfield should be Mikel, Ndidi and Joel Obi

I agree!!!

Nope, it should be Mikel, Ndidi and Onazi. Joel needs to play more with the boys.

You guys are really bipolar. First Uzoho is terrible, now he is the greatest thing ever

Das how we roll on CE

It shows we don't have any hidden agenda.

When he was shaky and unassured we pointed out.

When he was keeping with confidence and showed he belonged, we praised him.

How is that had (difficult) for people to comprehend?

Abi we suppose dey on autocritic?

Because anyone with a brain should realise that a young goalie in goal in his first full International start against some of the best names in European soccer would be nervous and would make mistake. Hence will keep their emotional BS shut till after the game.

The Coach wanted a tall keeper with potential, and he got him. Rohr also knows the more he plays , he’d build his confidence and be better. Hence why he sent a trainer to be working with him to coach out the errors still in his game.

You go on the road against the 6th ranked team in the World and beat them... without your captain.

Good stuff.

The good thing is that this team still has plenty of room to improve and is capable of improving.

They fight... a bunch of fighters.

KPOM KWEM!

[danfo driver]

so, our defending of set pieces has to improve significantly.
a viable alternative to JMO needs to be found tactically or in the form of an individual who can approximate his ability to set tempo for us and impose some semblance of control.
then there is the iheanacho conundrum: where to play him?

Iheanacho should be a bench player. He looked totally lost out there today.

What happened to his U17 form?

cheii!! Wicked!

He will regain it.

It is still there. Even in the U17 games, his first game wasn't all that. He will develop a chemistry with his teammates as time goes on.
One can see once they gel this team will be a very strong team.

its not about any of that he simply lost his agility by the added weight.

[1naija]

That polish website was bad azz. Clear as hell. No freezing.


Bein Sports was horrible. Freezing constantly.

Seriously Musa should never wear the jersey again!! That was a chance to kill it off!!

Why??? Because he did not score with the ball passed behind him???
Agents!!! #SMH

But it was an observation during a live game.

When he improved they observed the improvement.

Some of you guys over think these things.

Yep. It wasn't his fault. The delivery was on the heavy side.

Until everyone steps on the field in Russia , all these results count for nothing

It is a big deal for an African team to beat a European team away from home. If nothing else, it sends a strong message about the pedigree of African teams. It will be great for Africa as a whole if World Cup teams view their African opponents as unpredictable

cheii!! Wicked!

Kele has performed everywhere he's been since the u-17. Truth is, his biggest Achilles hill is holding the ball up, and his control. However talking of intelligence, no Nigerian footballer that plays the striking role even comes close.
That is his cross, to carry. When he gets it right, he will have elevated his game. Its laughable questioning a 21 year old, that already has about 10, international goals. Plenty of time, to work on his game.

[Goalgetter]

We need Oba Martins in that attack. Ighalo doesn’t cut it for me. We’re going no where with a non-scoring striker.

[platinum]

That was a useful exercise.
Important to play against a team that is compact. Good try run for Iceland.
Our high pressing game will be one of main qualities because of our dynamic midfield.
And against Croatia and Argentina our pace will be much more useful as those team will not be as compact as Iceland and Poland.
We are organised and efficient at the back
The midfield focuses on ball winning and breaking up play.
Our wing play needs to sparkle if we are to get Ighalo into the fray.
And we have to work on set-pieces.
But for where we need to get to, we’re making good progress.

Nailed it.

I am not questioning Kelechi, i understand what is going on with him as his game goes through the required transformation. If anyone throws an U17 form to make an arguement how a player should be played some four years after....such should be laughed at.

Kele is fine but it is time people begin to see a new Kele and leave the U17 arguement out of the window.
