Also it appears Peseiro is very particular about player roles even while making tactical adjustments, Iwobi seems to be his preferred choice for the deep lying midfield role in a 2 or 3 man midfield, and Iwobi has been massive in that new role so far...it remains to be seen what roles Etebo and Aribo will play once Ndidi returns.

It’s definitely too early to tell.

Rohr’s switching of the team in the friendly against Argentina in 2017 was the stuff of genius. But I certainly don’t want him back.

I’m hopeful for Coach P and thrilled we thrashed Africa’s 51st ranked teams. But we’re 2-2 under him and the only credible test will come in next year’s Afcon and any top friendlies we play before then.

The great news he’s inherited a talented squad and once he sorts out the centre half and goalkeeping problems, he’ll have an exceptional squad to work with.

We were playing grown adults not kids so this shouldn’t be an issue or be unsportsmanlike. Their other opponents won’t stop scoring on them after 5 and it’s a qualification series so in order to make sure we qualify, every goal counts.

Making Moses Simon the captain though....Thats worrying....

Exactly...it is actually more disrespectful for you stop playing because you thing the other team is inferior? chasing down every ball is the biggest respect you can pay your opponent.

So there's nothing unprofessional about it..

I tend to agree with you. “Running up the score” after you’ve comfortably beaten an opponent is considered unprofessional. By the 66th minute, we were already up 8-0. The game was pretty much over by then. The final 2 goals came in the 84th and 92nd minutes. Was that really necessary


Cheers.
