What is sad is that the Croatia team was beatable
Frankly I don't see what Croatia did that was different from us.
They did not impress me.
They did not have shots on target. Did not threaten at all. An average team at best.
At this point Argentina ad Iceland will most likely progress.
They were lucky with the own goal.
The penalty kick was unfortunate but it would not have been an issue if we had scored a couple of goals.
Rohr needs to unleash this team, our attack is toothless.
No more 3 defensive midfielders. Yes I said it Mikel is a defensive midfielder.
We have to go all out now, win or lose.
Drop Etebo to the bench.
Drop Ighalo to the bench.
Play Mikel and Ndidi as deep lying midfielders.
Move Iwobi centrally to support.
Play Iheanacho and Simmy.
===============================
Uzoho
Shehu Balogun Troost Idowu
Mikel Ndidi
Moses Iwobi Iheanacho
Simmy
===============================
Let Iheanacho and Iwobi interchange roles.

Etobo who was the man of the match for Nigeria?

He was indominitable.

Re: What is sad is that the Croatia team was beatable
Etebo was one of the better players on the pitch today. Chickena.
There is no way I will blame him for today's loss.

Who has been hating on him? More of the hate seems to be falling on Mikel.
Etebo was very good today but unfortunately for him Mikel is better at the DM position than AM right now and it'll be better to sit Mikel next to Ndidi and bring in Etebo off the bench for Mikel late in a match.

Re: What is sad is that the Croatia team was beatable
We need Etebo's energy, but I would put him on the wing so that Iwobi could move in centrally.F360 wrote:marutimon wrote:What is it with all the hate towards Etebo?

Re: What is sad is that the Croatia team was beatable
I have no issues about Etebo.
He was our best player today. But what does that say about us if our best player in a match is a defensive midfielder.
Mikel has far better ball distribution than Etebo and Ndidi.
We all know how bad our midfield becomes without Mikel.
I would also prefer Ndidi to Etebo because of his past antecedents.
We need to attack and score goals and Etebo is not going to help in that regard.

Re: What is sad is that the Croatia team was beatable
You worry about a team that just gave you 2 zip instead of talking about your team. Crotia was better, if they replay the game Crotia will win again.

Must I remind you:
Simply play him in a more forward position. Or as a winger.

Re: What is sad is that the Croatia team was beatable
Imagine, even from his DM spot he was the only midfielder trying to drive the team forward, in all our attacking plays towards the end of the game when Iheanacho came on it was ALL started by Etebo's surging run or pass. He is naturally forward driving and in a midfield of him Ndidi and Mikel anybody with a brain in their head would play Ndidi and Mikel BEHIND Etebo...Rohr sef na wa.marutimon wrote:Etebo is not a DM!!!mojojojo wrote:I have no issues about Etebo.

If we had any creativity in attack - yes, this Croatia side was beatable.

I won't drop Etebo for anyone on that team right now.

The NFF leadership and senior players may have to wrestle the team from him to salvage something from this worldcup, he does not have a feel for his players abilities and just fit them anywhere.Goldleaf wrote:Rohr MUST unleash our team. Enough of cowardice. In Nigeria, WE ATTACK!!!

Agreed. I can see why Iceland beat them. Iceland won't be conceeding stupid goals from corners like we were.marko wrote:Iceland defence will handle Croatia rather easily, dont think they will make the errors Nigeria made
