I am not too perturbed about today's loss
[1] personally, i am not too bothered about the loss today. We played at a very slow tempo, which for me is understandable as the players do not want to pick up injuries
[2] We also did not challenge for enough 50:50 balls in midfield, also not to pick up injuries
[3] I also noticed that Balogun plated on the right of the defence and Ekong on the left. This is the first time they have switched and it appeared to work better
[4] We held on to the ball a lot better than we did at Wembley, primarily due to the return of Ndidi
[5] We just had two problems in this game - Our fullbacks and our creative midfield
[6] What Gernot Rohr loves in Shehu Abdullahi is beyond me,. Ebuehi is two classes above him
[7] Bryan Idowu is right footed so cannot cross with his left foot. Echiejile is a total liability who cannot cross the ball to save his life. Ola Aina is right footed, so is not an option either. Our only option is to play Joel Obi as leftback. Even a blind person can see that. It is sheer madness that Joel has not been played in that role. Some dumb people are claiming he has not played there before but hey, John Ogu has never played as a centreback but Rohr has used him there in two matches and he has equipped himself well.
[8] In midfield, I also do not understand why Iwobi was playing so deep today. We need him playmaking behind the front three
[9] We lose the ball in midfield when we do not have Mikel and Ndidi shielding the back four. Some dumb people want Mikel playmaking but anyone who knows anything about top flight football will know that possession is key. We need that duo in front of the defence so we can retain possession
[10] If we play this way, at a fast tempo, we should be fine:

Re: I am not too perturbed about today's loss
Iwobi must be close to our main striker. “Must” he is the best finisher behind Iheanacho and must be close to goal.
Re: I am not too perturbed about today's loss
Ayo: I agree with most of your views. However Moses is not inspiring at the moment and Ighalo, for whatever reason, is not giving us the cutting edge. I will bring in Musa in place of Moses and Simi for Ighalo.

Re: I am not too perturbed about today's loss
Joel at left wing back in a 3-5-2 is risky but i can understand that suggestion
however one has to be incredibly and unbelievably stupid to suggest Joel at Left back in a flat back 4

Re: I am not too perturbed about today's loss
What Ayo doesn't understand is the WC is not a place you start making such move without trying it out first. You might as well give us a new coach now at this late stagesmartbrother wrote:Joel at left wing back in a 3-5-2 is risky but i can understand that suggestion

If I was Rohr I would be very worried because we might end up with only 1 pt from a draw and 2 losses.Ayo Akinfe wrote:[1] personally, i am not too bothered about the loss today. We played at a very slow tempo, which for me is understandable as the players do not want to pick up injuries

This team is very easy to beat even Congolese coach said it. The team is not good enough.
2 many defensive players that have no attacking edge.
Non scoring attackers like ighalo.
Re: I am not too perturbed about today's loss
You will soon be perturbed by a loss to Iceland at the WC. Then peoples eye will open

Joel Obi is Ayo Akinfe's new flavour of the month.
It was Juwon Oshaniwa once and recently Kelechi Nwakali.
Joel Obi!

Ayo, on paper, the formation looks and sounds great but u have just nullified Moses and Kelechi neither of those two are support strikers.......Ayo Akinfe wrote:[1] personally, i am not too bothered about the loss today.

Joel Obi left back......4 yrs ago yes, Torino tried it once and stopped, he was yanked in n the first half or early second he does not have to pace or anticipation to play there anymore.
Also why Rohr plays Mikel higher up on is that he can get 2 able bodied players behind because even though he is the most intelligent player on the pitch, his turnover is high....if he loses the ball, ur straight to the CBs....he will be a liability there. He plays AM/CM in China
