Segun Oluwaniyi Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Another embarassment. No surprise I suppose, it is the norm. If Amodu has brains (he doesn't), he will throw on Oba and Taiwo. The play is so narrow with no attacking fullbacks and three defensive midfielders. Who would have guessed?! At least if we lose they'll throw this idiot out on his arse.

Fenham Mag Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Zidane is looking f***ing class considering how long he's been retired. Sign him up. No seriously. I actually said this a few months ago in the "not worthy of a thread" thread. It's annoying when someone as talented as him and who could have sustained it for a few more years retires early.

Village Idiot Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Awful from Nigeria. For having so many players in European leagues, they are looking tremendously mediocre and certainly not much better than Zambia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a waste. You are terrible going forward. Every time you steal a ball in midfield, I only see 3 players running to the front. And you just can't keep possession. You can still nick this, though.

I have to say though I feel like Chelsea have ruined Obi Mikel. He used to be so much more of a creative player who opened things up when he was younger and with the under 21s. Now he's just a sort of an okayish holding midfielder type. Pretty annoying. Doesn't get forward nearly as much anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He pretty good going forward, but nowhere good enough to be the only attacking threat from midfield or from the fullbacks. We need to open up.

Well in that case I don't see why they have benched Kalu Uche then. He played in midfield with both Obi and Etuhu against Benin and I though he looked decent and opened up some opportunities for that hippo Yakubu who didn't take advantage. Just so frustrating. Need to build confidence for the world cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 That one proves my theory: the more you fool around with preparing the penalty, touching the ball, replacing it, walking... the shittier you're going to shoot. Nigeria can go 3-4 now. And it does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
