CAR 0 vs Nigeria 2

[wale1974]

Musa starts, SE scores 2!

yet he had NOTHING to do with either goal.

He has been a passenger. Piss poor player, misplacing simple passes as usual.

This your bad belle get levels.

[truetalk]

Assist Ekong

He tried. That goal was all about Aribo though.

[waka-man]

Balogun took the abuse and came back. His best performance in GWG.
The formation works for us, although we’re playing with 10 men as Nacho has no idea what he’s supposed to be doing.
Aribo gradually got better when he switched sides with Musa. But he does need to watch how Musa is playing that role with a lot more movement and vertical play.
Awaziem his usual rugged self, Ekong untroubled in the middle.
Not sure why Onyeka is getting abuse. He’s playing an unglamorous role and doing a decent job of it.
I would drop Nacho for Ejuke. There’s gapping space right behind Osimhen for a smart footballer to go to town on. Nacho’s impulsive qualities are not suited for that role. Iwobi would have a field day there.
One idea might be to bring Innocent in for Nacho and push Aribo and Onyeka into more advanced positions.
All in all, C+ to Rohr, A+ for Balogun, B for Musa, C for everyone else apart from Nacho who I’m giving a D.

Who was asking for 3-5-2 after the first leg?

It was me.

but the players chosen by Rohr is still poor.

Both goals came from our defenders flooding the box, not from our general attacking play, which has improved but is still average.

Musa has been a passenger, Collins offers nothing. Both should be replaced for Ejuke and Aina respectively. Had they both started I'm sure we would have scored more by now.

[maceo4]

The Oyimbo wall is redeeming themselves big time..lol

Definitely playing well, but let’s also not lose sight of the low level of opponent…wouldn’t call it redemption more like playing how they are supposed to play against 4th division players…

[aruako1]

Well done team!

[Cellular]

I like that we are finally able to retain possession and sticking to simple passes.

Need the passes to be a lot faster and more movement.

True

So it is "bad belle" to tell the truth

Is it "good belle" TO LIE ?

[truetalk]

Who was asking for 3-5-2 after the first leg?

I did o... I think VancityEagle did as well.

Certainly did. Specifically asked for Awaziem, with Ndidi and Iwobi missing.

Coaching is not hard. 1st things is knowing what you're working with.

[mcal]

Assist Ekong

He tried. That goal was all about Aribo though.

...why not go back before Aribo got the ball find out who to credit.

[Dammy]

I really don't understand this onyeka

He is very average. But that’s what we got for now.

Why was Micheal not called up for this game. He played well against cape verde

Kingsley Michael has been injured, he just returned to training last week

Lots of us called for 3-5-2 (Solace Chukwu wrote a good piece on it) but I’m not sure it’s one to boast about after watching the first game and considering our personnel.

Personally, I think Musa is done with the SE but to call him a passenger today is a head-scratcher. His best game since the WC, only outplayed so far by Balo.

can you tell me what Musa has done ?

He won one ball. Good.

He drove a few times through the middle and finished the move with a misplaced pass.

Is that what constitutes a good game ? I guess our standards have dropped that low

Musa has been getting into good positions but he cant give 'that pass'. He is not a passer at all. But to call him a passenger is just 'vancityesque'. Nothing to see here.

[Enugu II]

Clearly better play by SE. They might not be optimal but it is good enough. One more goal will put off the outcry.

[Siddonlook11]

nacho is short one sha

[vancity eagle]

best players

Balogun, Ekong, Aribo, Simon, Awaziem

Onyeka has done well too

Collins, Nacho, Musa have been dissapinting.

Osimehn works hard but needs to improve.

[Bigpokey24]

Oya same intensity in the 2nd half

When your opponent is defending deep in numbers, some defenders have to join the attack to get through their wall. Its ABC of football.

[Siddonlook11]

lol nacho sabi say vid replay dey ?

[Cito]

Is that not dangerous enough to warrant a yellow?

[naijaguy]

We should bear this team 5-0
