Rohr had to convince Mikel and Moses to change positions...
If you listen to the post game presser, Rohr stated that he had to convince Mikel and Moses to change positions. Mikel - to go back to DM, and Moses to play wing back like he does at Chelsea. According to Rohr, it was very difficult because the new position required more responsibility, but both players eventually agreed.
i think that was the main difference in this game. Moses as an attacker is useless to any team. He could not get into the Chelsea team as a winger, but he is awesome as a wingback. The way he played today, he provided a lot of width to Nigeria, and he defended awesomely. You cannot compare Shehu to Moses. For Mikel, nothing needs to be said. He has won everything as a DM. We have an excess of offensive and dynamic AMs, and moving Mikel back today allowed Nigeria to field 2 attackers.
I am not sure why we are trying to force square pegs into round holes. Moses is a world class wingback, and a crappy winger. Mikel used to be a world class DM/AM, but he is getting old and does not have the speed to match the rest of the team. Rohr should just set up the team in 3-5-2 against Argentina. No need to change formation again. At least this way, we have a chance. 4-4-2, we have no chance.

Re: Rohr had to convince Mikel and Moses to change positions
Rohr also has to convince Moses to PASS THE BALL. The few times he did it we were put in scoring positions.

Rohr confirms several of the things that I believed about his management. It comes out in this conference but also has been speculated in the media for a while. He provides quite a lot of leeway to his veteran players and that can come back top haunt. Right now some of those guys fight for him on the pitch but that is not always the case when you offer such leeway.

Please, enough of the rhetoric. Mikel was everywhere he needed to be today; in defense and offense. He played central midfield

Exactly the point. As an AM, Mikel is not all over the field. Playing him as a DM gave him more responsibility.TonyTheTigerKiller wrote:Please, enough of the rhetoric. Mikel was everywhere he needed to be today; in defense and offense. He played central midfield

Re: Rohr had to convince Mikel and Moses to change positions
Sorry Prof but your concern here is without merit. Fast forward to minute 32 where Rohr explains that its poor man management to change a setup that had been in place for 2 years without explaining to the affected players and getting their buy-in. 2 of our most important players being switched from attacking to defensive roles and you expect that they shouldn't get any explanation?

Switching any player requires explanation and thus that is not the issue. The issue is that from his words it appears that it required some persuasion and "it wasn't easy" (his words). For me, those are entirely two different things.

Re: Rohr had to convince Mikel and Moses to change positions
Of course there's some persuasion required because that set up was a wining setup notwithstanding that we lost against Croatia. You've been successful for 2 years in competitive games then you suffer a loss and now want to change roles. There will be explaining and likely persuading. It's normal. These are humans and not robots. Anyway I don't see any issue at all.

I am hoping it just a "lost in translation" thing. I am a bit torn as i like the fact that he considers his players input, but then again, he is the coach and shouldn't have to have difficulty, "convincing" his players of where he wants them to play. Im glad it worked out today, but that DM position is asking quite a bit of Mikel sha.

He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.

Re: Rohr had to convince Mikel and Moses to change positions
The way that I understood it.
He told them to switch positions.
But he also had to convince them that it was the right thing to do, not because he needed to but because he wanted them to believe in the system and in the team.
He could have easily instructed them to, but may not have gotten the same performance,

Re: Rohr had to convince Mikel and Moses to change positions
Well be careful how you interpret it. One my think they didn't want to and it took some convincing. He was basically saying he had to ask them to play positions they've been playing st their club but not for the SE. Nothing to suggest any of them resisted the idea. I think Rohr's English failed him a little in that interviewmuzines wrote:If you listen to the post game presser, Rohr stated that he had to convince Mikel and Moses to change positions.

Totally normal for a German coach/Snr players...................that's why if things go wrong in a match for Germany(like against Mexico), the 1st people in the firing line are the Snr players/Leaders in the team.

We have an excess of offensive and dynamic AMs, and moving Mikel back today allowed Nigeria to field 2 attackers.
I am not sure why we are trying to force square pegs into round holes. Moses is a world class wingback, and a crappy winger. Mikel used to be a world class DM/AM, but he is getting old and does not have the speed to match the rest of the team. Rohr should just set up the team in 3-5-2 against Argentina. No need to change formation again. At least this way, we have a chance. 4-4-2, we have no chance.
Forward to 26.05 and 32.00 in the video:

Nigeria qualified for the WC with Moses as an attacker/ winger. Nigeria won nations cup in 2013 with Moses as a winger. All facts
So yeah five and a half years ago.

Re: Rohr had to convince Mikel and Moses to change positions
Honestly not sure it worked for Moses. Didn’t see much difference in his positioning vs. Croatia match
If purge dey worry you, you no dey select toilet
Re: Rohr had to convince Mikel and Moses to change positions
Not really rocket science to play both players how their clubs play them, Moses thrived in the wing back position yesterday, Shehu does not cut it as a good wing back
So angry Nigeria got kicked out of the world cup once again, i nearly told my wife that i caught my girlfriend with another man today!
