Looking back at the match against Zambia, our defense was cut open left, right and center with relative ease several times.

Thanks to our goalkeeper and the lack of clinical finishers in the Zambian team, we only conceded a goal.

Looking forward to the next match for the Super Eagles against the desert warriors of Algeria, one wonders how we will be able to cope with the arsenal at their disposal and still be able to get a much needed win.

Being a Chelsea fan, I watched with great admiration as Conte changed the fortunes of the team by quickly reverting to a formation that he was used to, rather than the one he met on ground.

The 3-4-3 formation will offer the SE, the width to withstand the Algerians, who build most of their attacks from the wings through mahrez.

It will also offer us an attacking threat that will be
very much effective.

What do you guys think?

Not bad. but I don't fancy Omeruo at CB. we can't afford another mistake...uche Agbp should start. I can't think of a better LB,so Echiejele should keep his post.






but, don't count on Rohr playing that formation against Algeria. it may be 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3

Echiejile not mobile enough to play as a left wing back

I seem to agree with you guys...Emeruo not clinical/tactical enough.

I get your point, Echiejile will definitely keep his place, but with the added cover of Balogun behind as a sweeper on the left side of defense in 3-4-3 formation.

Christian Madu has better pace, but fare lesser in the the area of marking.

If the 3-4-3 formation works for Chelsea, what's makes you think it will work for the Super Eagles?. Victor Moses plays to the gallery when he dorns the Nigerian jersey. Do you see him playing to Coach Rohr Instructions?.

Every coach has a pattern he has perfected. Conte is a master when it comes to the 3-4-3 formation. How do we perfect a strange pattern to players who ply their trade in different clubs in Less than a week?.
We don't have the time to perfect this pattern before our match with Algeria. Coach Rohr won't even gamble with it. Do we even have the players to even perfect the strategy?.

My friend, this is a world Cup Qualifier, we shouldn't gamble away our chances of qualifying for the next world Cup.

We can gamble with Rohr formations during the international break not Conte's 3-4-3
Coach Rohr will deploy 4 - 2- 3 - 1 against the Algerians.


What is making Chelsea fans now think they are Invincible with the 3-4-3 formation?. Lol, enjoy the success while it lasts.

Uche Agbo ahead of Omeruo?

We cannot afford this kind of experiment in a match of this magnitude.

Instead of echejile,I think musa should execute that role perfectly although,he's marking would be a concern

imagine this against Cameroon 3-4-3
ikeme: omeruo, ekong, balogun: Moses ndidi Mikel Aina : iwobi ,sareren-bazee, iheanacho
