UK Evening Standard Gushes Over Iwobi

[Polly]

We have so many soccer experts it is a marvel we do not win the World Cup every year (?!?). But again, if you extrapolate, it is no marvel we have no roads, no jobs, no electricity, no security, no peace.

Rohr is going to play a 4-2-3-1 formation against stronger teams. The idea will be to put someone on for mikel as the AM and Iwobi is that option.

On the wings he is looking for speed and creativity and you will have moses, simon, musa and iheanacho alternating.

His major problem is the lone striker role. Imho Ighalo is not good enough. You need strength and clinical finishing.

Anyone advocating Musa being near the team should be tried for reason and unpatriotic acts in my opinion. He is a gift to Nigeria’s opposition!

OK, we’ve heard you, Mr. Ebuehi is 5 light years ahead of Shehu. Now, go do whatever it is you do, like make up stories on Facebook


Cheers.

Nothing has changed my opinion on all I have said. In fact, these last two games have reinforced them.

Musa wasn’t bad in this game stop lying. The problem was from the midfield and defense

But what did Musa do in the time he was on?

How many passes did Musa receive in that game? Or you want him to play the role of Moses and Iwobi at the same time? Let's be fair here.

I wil never forget the SE goal against Mali that was disallowed in the AFCON 2013 semifinal. A defense splitting pass from Mikel which Musa latched onto from deep to score. THAT is how to use Musa.

So then since none of that happened would you say Musa had a good or bad game?

So he had an OK game though he didn't contribute much of anything...its all good sha. He has his uses with his speed and all, but hopefully we are not relying on him...

If you are prepared to continue tolerating the ball hoggers like Moses and Iwobi then you have no business criticizing Musa. Even Nacho wasn’t his usual self on account of the ball hogging. The good news is that when Mikel comes back, those two won’t have the opportunity to ball hog as much and Nacho, Musa and anyoneelse in that position, will be far more effective. That loss wasn’t about Musa’s perceived inabilities. It was more about getting our players to understand that football, in spite of their significant individual abilities, is first and foremost, a team sport

Flashy touches by Iwobi. No end product. Musa was played out of position.

Iwobi will take a lot of heart from this.
And Musa will take a lot of heartache.

Ah ah, now its Musa was played out of position, so what is his real position as he played both Main striker, then when Ighalo came in he moved to the left wing in place of Moses...

Ol boy, I hear you when you say he should be an impact sub, but in this game he wasn't played out of position though. He was played in positions that he plays for his club.
