Re: ETEBO WAS MASSIVE TODAY regardless
The problem here is that you do not understand why he is forced to pass backwards. The name of the game is ball retention, you cannot pass forward where there is no movement, it is better you keep the ball even if it means passing backwards than a speculative pass forward.oscar52 wrote:Please the three worst players are Etebo, Shehu, and Ighalo.

The boy did well,call it average or whatever he did what he had to do, helped to retain the ball and gave us a decent look in the middle. Compare his performance and the midfield to the shambolic first half against England.

He was the one Manning the post...he saw that the Croatian was going to head the free ball so he stepped out to stop him, the leg he stretched out unsettled the Croatian who misses , but unfortunately the ball deflected off his other leg into the net.Eaglezbeak wrote:No one bother to man the back post for some reason!aykwes8 wrote:the deflected goal was unfortunate but he is a very good player . the #8

As for Etebo:
Fouled 8 times
Completed 8 dribbles
Had 2 key passes
Had 2 tackles
Completed 92,5% of his passes
And Ndidi:
Fouled 3 times
Had 5 tackles
Had 3 interceptions
Had 3 clearances
Had 1 key pass
Won 6 headers
Completed 90% of his passes
Overall Ndidi and Etebo were the two best players on the field. Regardless of teams.

Is it possible for a player that signed for a team move somewhere else without kicking a ball for that team? We need Etebo in the top division and we can dash dem Onazi.
He can always get a better team in January.

Re: ETEBO WAS MASSIVE TODAY regardless
Hmmmm. Etebo has really come of age in this tournament. Shame he went and signed for a Championship side.
Re: ETEBO WAS MASSIVE TODAY regardless
Etebo is a warrior,he will give you what you want. He started slowly today at some point I was questioning his presence, I guess it took him time to settle into the new role asked of him today. In the second half it was like he was released to do what he loves doing best , take risk as run at people.

Nope. No one was covering the back post. Etebo was in the middle and stpped back closer to the post after the kick was taken. Go watch the goal again.

He did try to move the ball forward today but he is mad slow, Ndidi and Mikel should play cm and dm and allow iwobi play am, in a pure 352. With etebo the midfield is slow to react and too open surprisingly.

Re: ETEBO WAS MASSIVE TODAY regardless
Did you see the one time Iwobi tried to run with the ball they tackled it away from him. Thats his problem he loses a lot of balls when he tries to carry it. Etebo did very well in the second half, first half he seemed confused about his role.9jaMan wrote:Synopsis wrote:He was average

Re: ETEBO WAS MASSIVE TODAY regardless
Etebo was great, but he shot a couple of times when Musa and Iheanacho were making a great run which would have likely ended with a goal. Instead he simply got blocked.

Re: ETEBO WAS MASSIVE TODAY regardless
This player has grown on me. Too many positives in his game. Why he signed this early with Stoke is a mystery. From what I've seen so far, he can comfortably play for a top 10 team in any of the top leagues in Europe. This guy has improved a lot since the 2014 Olympics.

Re: ETEBO WAS MASSIVE TODAY regardless
He will take that shot because he has it in his locker. That said, with more game time, his vision and decision making in that area will improve.marutimon wrote:Etebo was great, but he shot a couple of times when Musa and Iheanacho were making a great run which would have likely ended with a goal.

Re: ETEBO WAS MASSIVE TODAY regardless
He had a lot of energy and drive in the forward midfield position and Obi did much better in the deeper role.
Etebo did so much running he got tired towards the end.

Re: ETEBO WAS MASSIVE TODAY regardless
He had a great game as a joint CM next to Ndidi and in front of Mikel. He was no AM. He was everywhere playing defense and bringing the ball up to the attack. Excellent player.

Re: ETEBO WAS MASSIVE TODAY regardless
ETEBOOO. Ive always been a massive fan of his.
He huffed, puffed and chased everything. He was also the catalyst of our attack in our second half revival. He wasnt scared of running at the opponents midfield and defense when he had the ball. Hes close control is out of this world.
