line up
that will thrash Egypt


.................................... C.Ikeme

Shehu. ........Oboabona ......Ambrose........Amuzie

....................................Mikel

....................Etebo

.,........................................ Iwobi


V. Moses.............A. Musa .............S.Moses

and Siasia should stop blaming the defenders for conceding that goal he should have shored up his defence towards the end planned his sub's better Aminu for iheanacho was unnecessary it should have been Moses for iheanacho then you can cap Iwobi and still have one sub to use Azubuike okechukwu or orji or echejile should have come in to kill time and shore the back. I don't know if he was even watching the opponents they brought in One midfielder and 2 strikers and not all like for like sub's and ur busy bringing in forwards
he better learn Oboabona and Ambrose were not in the u23 tournament and the same thing happened then in the group stage twice

safarigirl:
so S.Moses...Iheanacho and V.Moses in front....Iwobi directly behind Iheanacho as CM?

Saw the second goal from Neymar's pass as well

ukandi1:

That would leave us without strong options in d bench. We must have a quality bench if we hope to make a headway in Alexandria

tickles2luv2016:




Its a blatant lie ,aminu brought more energy and bite to the attack and i see him starting tomorrow.

naso2:
Who says onazi and etebo can't play together? Yes we are going for a win but need the right defensive midfielders that will help the defence in our moments of pressure

We should also not make the mistake of playing iheanacho ahead of ighalo. If victor Moses starts I can assure you that there will be enough holes in the center of the Egyptian defence for ighalo to operate.

Ighalo

lexyman:
I will suggest that Sia 1 should stick to the formation he used in the first leg ....I foresee the Egyptian playing more of a defensive style .


I am afraid , Onazi ,maybe careless in that match with his reckless tackle . Let's Etebo play the box-box role he has an eye for goal....

safarigirl:
still got Musa and Ighalo on th bench, 2 forwards as subs and on defensive should complete 3.

Siasia's mistake was subbing attackers for attackers rather than beefing up th defenc when we were a goal-up and heading to th final minutes.

Play your best attacking team, get the needed goals and then sub for defenders

Nigeria will not win today. 100% sure
Best result will be draw.

ukandi1:

Modern days soccer, d best way to defend is to attack. Parking d bus against a technically sound Egyptian team would undo us. Siasia knew it. We must not allow those guys to attack us.

TheGoodJoe:


No one said Park the bus. It is not Coach Siasia's philosophy to park the bus but get tighter at the back. When you say Modern day Soccer, do you watch Atletico Madrid play?

Atletico Madrid is always disciplined at the back. They hardly concede loads of goals or careless late goals.

Hector Cuper of Egypt, made three attacking changes to equalize the match and our reply was to make zero changes to calm the effect of the Egyptian changes.

We were careless and played into their hands. If we took out an attacker and brought in a defensive midfielder to shield the defence, we would still have enough ammunition to continue attacking.

binhozie:


Do you watch Barcelona play

Better still have you been watching Barcelona spank Athletico this season

Attacking football and possession is how modern teams defend

TheGoodJoe:


What of Leicester City Under Ranieri? I guess you consider their conservative Football pattern outdated.


What of games when Pellegrini plays Yaya, Fernando and Fernandina? I guess you will tell me that Pellegrini does not Coach in the modern ways of football.

Coach Siasia left us expose. Pulling out Ighalo for Azubuike would not stop the team from playing with attacking purpose and possession.

binhozie:


Bro you are just associating inform teams with your theories.
Nowadays teams lay more emphases on pressing by all players rather having specialist ball winners.

Athletico Madrid even play 4 4 2 they press collectively

They don't have specialist defensive mildfielders who just brake s up attack

We are in a must win situation we need to go all out and press collectively not have a specialist who snuff people out. And might slow down and hinder the build up to attack. Such an individual can come when we have a lead and want to protect it
But naija na naija onazi will prolly start

TheGoodJoe:


You made it look as if bringing in a defensive midfielder will mean going against the art of modern Football. it is not.

Simeone, Pellegrini, Ranieri, in that position would have brought in a defensive midfielder to protect the back four.

Coach Siasia made a wrong call.

binhozie:



I am weary about Iwobi playing from the wings and moses simon on the bench, moses simon has been the best player in most matches the super eagles play recently

lexyman:

And if Nigeria wins u will lose your bet ?

Shey ur eye don clear now?
