I WATCHED CROATIA MATCH AGAIN

[ogiso]

Without the tension and I must admit .......

.......... it was still crap. Hope rings eternal though, and I hope somehow the boys will redeem themselves against Iceland.

I was expecting some nugget of hope I could latch on to...I guess it is back to the only weapon with have in our football arsenal - Prayer

I expected him to say it wasn't that bad.

This team is a shadow of what it could be.

[Rawlings]

Naija played as well as they could
If you all take a deep breath and understand why these players are playing for crap clubs in crap leagues, you'll not be complaining too much

[1naija]

I am watching again now, and Nigeria is definitely the better side. 2 things that must improve in the next game are Mikel's play, especially in the first half, and Vic Mo's free kick delivery.

I haven't yet watched again. I will soon do so.

My brother watched it again and said that Etebo probably had the best performance of any SE player in a Worldcup since Okocha in 1998.

According to the stats he broke a world cup record of the number of dribbles at 9.

I must admit I dont remember Etebo having a particlarly good game, in fact I believe I cursed him a time or two.

Mind you I had been drinking and was highly stressed out. From what I remember both Croatia and Nigeria were respecting each other too much, and it was a slow match.

I will watch it again maybe later today.

[mojojojo]

Just watched it again.

[1] We were very cautious. Our midfield players did not commit ethemselves forward to support the 3 strikers upfront. Our full backs did not overlap.
[2] The own goal was because someone failed to mark Manzujic
[3] Mikel was OK. Moses was OK. Iwobi did not play well on the wings. Moses and Iwobi did a lot of defending,
[4] Mikel got tired around the 70 mins but was left on until the 83rd minute. He was not doing much then.
[5] Musa introduction was actually positive. Musa is very direct and seems to up the tempo. He almost created a goal when he dribbled two players and passed to Iheanacho in the six yard who scuffled it. He seems to play at a very fast pace, faster than his teammates.
[6] Iheanacho created more problems than Ighalo. He actually received balls in dangerous areas and tried to set up Musa. These 2 should start the next match.
[7] Etebo was very good.
[8] Ekong!!

He was by far the best player. He is a work horse

[1naija]

We gifted Croatia the game. Our players will hate themselves for letting this winnable game escape us when they rewatch the video. I just hope Ekong and Etebo can shake off their mistakes and concentrate on the next game. They were 2 of our better players overall.

WE WILL QUALIFY FROM THIS GROUP!. We are the second best if not the best team in this group.

What's stopping them from gifting the game to Iceland?

Good bless you my brother

[tunde72]

That is if our almighty Mr know all coach listen to the voice of reasoning. He need to play Iwobi and Kelechi In front and move Mikel back to support Ndidi

[Chimex101]

is the fact that we lost to a team that didn't have to do too much, like we pretty much did the scoring for them. It would have much more consolable if the Croatians actually split our defense open with some good football, then scored on us...at least we can say they worked hard for the goals and outplayed us, but Uzoho was mostly on holiday for the best part of the game, and still had to be the one to pick the ball from the net due to a bad deflection own goal from Etebo(ironically the player that worked his socks off the most), and some very needless and idiotic defending from Ekong when the man he wrestled down WAS NOT IN ANY WAY A THREAT...we just gave the Croats 2 very easy goals in a freaking world cup and dampened our hopes of qualifying from that group, that honestly hurts.

[9jaMan]

It's all Rohr's fault, he overhyped the Croatian players and basically told the SE that they were not at the World Cup level so they should take notes from the Croatians and prepare for World Cup 3024

The fraud clown must have told them that the Croatians are GODS who play for clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid. He must have told them that only Ighalo can enter their area or else these GODS would counter and score boat loads of goals.

Feckless clown.

True, especially Croatia.

And our players are stupid enough to buy that?
Okay o....

pass the joint please

[2drama]

Just finished watching the the first half and the all the part until Musa sub in

The formation used did not served SE

We need to drop the lone striker routine. And go back to the 4-4-2 formation.

The defence was fine but our team lacks any bite on offense. Nothing like the SE we know.

Ighalo
Every time he got the ball was marked by 2 to 3 defenders

Etebo
killed a bird with his shot on 21.47 mins

Mikel
had a weak cross in the 12 minute, he should have moved in, instead to pass or shoot on target

Victor
Play both ways defence
The game plan was to have VM go against the LB but that match up

[Gotti]

Not gonna bother! Chinese water torture would be more fun...
But watched this team enough to be CONFIDENT that a win over Iceland would kick us onwards and upwards.

Your voice is now the voice of reasoning that Rohr shoudl listen to?
