Watch how Mahrez will look like a little biatch when he comes up against Collins or Awaziem, no soft pedaling this time cause it's the Semi's.

Won't be suprised if Rohr starts Simon again to provide cover for Awazeim. I wonder if this is the game Rohr breaks out the "beloved" 3-5-2. If he does, he can use Aina and Simon as WBs, and play a back 3 of Awazeim, Omeruo, and Ekong. 4-2-3-1 has been working so far, so he will probably go with that.
What will their full backs be doing, while ours have their hand's full?

I know we get on him, but Musa's speed na yam? Chuckwueze's skill na yam? It will be a good battle, may the best team win!

Critical, absolutely critical, that Ndidi is allowed to stay closer to the centre backs or they’ll gobble any space between midfield and back four, better than any team we’ve faced.

The good news: this won’t be the most mobile back four we’ve faced and if Musa and Chukwueze are encouraged to play closer to Ighalo, we should have a lot of joy.

Be prepared once again for sub 40% possession for the Eagles, for us to only press the CDs, for Iwobi to drop a bit deeper - almost alongside Etebo - to find clever balls to the front three.

I still think we’ll win this in a low scoring game, but our habit of at least one major defensive lapse per game might condemn us to a long night of extra time and penalties.
Close to igahlo? And how? When musa is on gear 5 , Chukwueze is on gear 6 , what gear is igahlo on? When u have a stagnant player using his back all the time the Algerians will have more time to attack us when he is dispossessed.

Musa should strike and chukwueze and kalu should be no the wings.

Personally, and with all due respect to Ighalo, I would start Osimhen.
I might be succumbing to racial stereotyping but I don't think the Algerians are anything near as physical a threat to Osimhen as are the west and central African teams.
If he can deal with the physical threat in Europe, then he should be fine against the N Africans.

He is far more mobile, faster and has quicker reaction time than Ighalo.
So Musa and Chkwueze will have someone keeping up with them, able and ready to react.

The only thing IMHO that Ighalo has over Osimhen is physical strength and 'experience' - neither of which is an absolute prerequisite for starting.

If he starts and isn't coping then we have Ighalo waiting.

I say bring on Victor!!!

What worries me about our team is we seem content to let teams have the ball, soak up pressure, and hit them on the counter. We still struggle to maintain possession and our build up play from the back still needs to improve. Holding on to the ball sometimes is the best way to take pressure off your defenders. I hope Algeria doesn't punish us on Sunday for allowing them too much possession.

The key is tactical discipline, possession doesn't mean anything.

How? Like our first goal against SA. See where Samu is in relation to Ighalo? That’s what created the goal. In the box, first ball in, defence will look to deal with Ighalo. You only get the benefits of that as a 2nd or wide forward if you too are in the box to profit.

How? Like our 2nd goal again Cameroon. The proximity of Musa and Ighalo by itself creates all kind of confusion for Cameroon.

The fact is it is exactly their pace that allows them to get close to Ighalo. It’s the crucial unlock for our attack and the main reason Rohr wants Ndidi playing deeper so the full backs can provide the width when we have possession and the the wide forwards can get in the box.

You people don start, Algeria is the most complete and attacking /defensive team in Afcon , with 10 goals and 1 against...that Rohr, lost to Madagascar a team Tunisia destroyed...the middle of the month is near, Rohr is almostngone...

If I say make we bet now say Naija go beat Algeria you go go MIA, same way you were so sure we will lose against Cameroon and SA, we know know how that ended... now you don change tone (I wonder what your next excuse will be when we beat Algeria on Sunday)? Una no dey tire to dey take all these L's already? The same Algeria people say had the best defense yesterday saw CIV easily exposing/breaching them on several occasions, and would have scored more if they were clinical enough. They have the best attacking team, you would have thought Algeria had a bunch of Maldini's defending for them ... yeah where were those world class players when we destroyed them in Abuja back in the WCQ and almost beat them at their own backyard in the return leg? what you clowns fail to realize is that football isn't 2+2=4...its a game of dynamics and variables. Algeria should be more worried what the likes of Musa Chukwueze, Ndidi, Iwobi will do to them as well.. Let me see what your next justification will be when he beat them and head to the final.

Now SA and Cameroon are poor teams SMH :rotf: , na so you go dey shift goal post until you carry net enter your house. I'm not even Rohr's biggest fan in the least, but I'm classy and honest enough to give him his dues and credit. Punditry, opinions, favorite tags don't do the talking on the green grass(I'm even glad Nigeria isn't the favorite, we always fucck up whenever we burdened with the favorite tag... now less pressure on the boys to cause some "upsets"). At the end, it's 11 vs 11 men and a ball that will do the talking. Hope you'll be cooking another half-assed excuse come Sunday when Algeria get beaten.

Nigeria have the advantage over Algeria, we had one day's extra rest and they also played into extra time losing 2 players especially Feghouli, who are out of the tournament.
We outplayed them home and away in the WCQs and that will prey on their minds.

Didn't Cameroon have better players than when we played them in the WCQ? An argument can even be made for them having a better coach now than when we played them then but then wetin small pikin like me know...
