Super Eagles Mysterious Unpopular Eleven That Could Destroy Croatia by Sunnypa11(m): 2:08pm On Jun 10, 2018
The best formation for the current Super Eagles is 3-5-2!
With the mentioned formation,Super Eagles held their own and looked unbreakable in the second half against a cruising English National team with some unravelled national treasures.
Francis Uzoho is a done deal for goal while expectedly, William Troost-Ekong and Leon Balogun are important to the defence line.
Joining the 'Oyinbo wall’ is a midfielder in John Ogu,It is very important to note that most of the defenders are right-footed including Kenneth Omeruo and the Israeli based Ogu is also as tall as Croatia striker,Mario Manzukic who will be an aerial threat all night.
Balogun will defend from a comfortable right side of the defence alongside a mobile Tyronne Ebuehi just as Ogu who is very calm in possession will be giving Bryan Idowu a needed assurance from the left.
Wilfred Ndidi will be winning the tackles as Oghenekaro Etebo create an industrious midfield zone to neutralize Luca Modric and Ivan Rakitic.
John Obi Mikel big game stability and experience put him in an advanced and familiar position with lesser defensive duty in yet an important position.
And there comes the mysterious dynamites leading the line together.
Kelechi Iheanacho and Alexander Iwobi both ruined Argentina together in an unimaginable manner in the most fruitful Forty-Five minute of Coach Gernot Rohr.
On display in Russia last November was pace,precised attacking passes,chemistry and top-class decision making.
The aging backline of Croatia could suffer same damage and it must be noted that Iheanacho always enjoy a companionship upfront while Iwobi is magical in freedom and the formation gives the Arsenal youngster the popular suggested advance role infront of Mikel.
SWITCH : John Ogu and Kelechi Iheanacho could both be replaced with Victor Moses and Odion Ighalo to switch back to 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 as the situation may require.

NICE ONE

3-5-2 formation will do best for us.. Not forgetting the fact that Super Eagles lack cohesion in midfield.

I'd rather have iwobi play a free role, playing iwobi upfront would be disastrous he doesn't have that leg to shoot solidily...


IGHALO


IWOBI MIKEL. ETEBO MOSES


OGU NDIDI


IDOWU LEON EBUEHI



UZOHO

Both Moses & Iwobi can always track back to help the defense.. Ndidi will stand down, while Ogu can roam upward with the attack..


Lol, paper driver no dey ever jam grin grin grin

Good line up and good idea but in a real match John Ogu will be beaten for pace. We need to be solid in defence

Rohr should show more faith in Omeruo he is our most experience defender when you consider he played in last World Cup and won the Nation’s cup

Victor Moses will do a better job in LWB than Idowu

Ahmed Musa pace is required upfront

Why would you bench IWOBI ?

Ahmed Musa can come in as a sub to charge the opponent defence..

Ogu out?

Emeruo ? cry


Well na opinion sha

This is the best formation but tournament ain't won on papers.

If not Gary Neville would have been the best coach now.

Iwobi is useless without the ball, he does not mark the opponents when they have the ball

Does not work hard enough for me

Valid point.. But he's one of Super eagles playmaker..

Ozil defense rate is zero but he's work rate in the final third is top notch..

Ozil plays for Germany where they control games and possess the ball for extended periods

Nigeria will not outpass most teams so we need all our players awake to their defensive duties

Musa gives more to our style of play than Iwobi. Musa brings pace energy and ability to shoot and score. Plus he is also willing to mark the ball

Iwobi’s time will come, he is still a daddy boy who lacks the will to win!

If Etebo, Musa, Ebuehi and Ndidi do not start then forget our chances against Croatia

some people will always like to ridicule Nigeria yet they will be the first to buy fuel and fill their generator to watch any super eagles match.they rush to every post on eagles insult the players just to get"likes"from their fellow myopic colleagues.

I wonder why can't you just turn off your TV or scroll past anything Nigeria online when they are playing,I personally think most of these people use insults on super eagles as a heartbreak protective mechanism so they won't feel that bad when eagles lose but I think its childish

you judge eagles on friendlies yet England who are known as king of friendlies what trophy has it gotten them,the 94 eagles was our best team so far and how many friendlies did they win as I can't forget our horrible 3-1 loss to Sweden where we played like school boys.

Friendlies are used to test run tactics and formations and am not saying that eagles must qualify from their group or not but we should try to enjoy our team as its not easy to qualify to any world cup.all these boys that love only club football more than international football please leave our national team for us we love them whether good or bad

We know our players aren't as good individually like the Brazilians but supporting your team goes a long way in building their confidence and making them perform better

Those who weren't around then try and watch Atlanta 96 and see what total support can do for a team,many of you may not know that Jo bonfrere wasn't a sound technical adviser but the support our team got from Atlanta made that city feel like home so why can't we make the eagles feel the support of the most populous black nation on earth

Panama are coming to the world cup and if a country like that have die hard fans why can't I support my eagles but if you are one of those who prefer to be a die hard fan for a foreign club please leave our eagles for us and wait for august to start watching club football

You no get sense, mumu. Iwobi's time will come ?.... Bunch of mediocre you are. Look at winning teams, dont you see 20 21, 22 year old ? You prefer old recycled tired player ?
Ode. Iwobi is one of our best player in this tournament, if we fail to deploy him well, it will be to our risk. iwobis time will come when hes 40...typical naija mentality not believing in their vibrant youth. Mbappe, Rachford, Dembele, et al, will be playing active role in their country, Mario gotze scored 2014 world cup winning goal, he was just 22 or less. Ode

I can't in annoying cases. How can you watch Super eagles games from the qualifier to Worldcup friendlies and conclude Iwobi should be on bench, that his time will come. Just how ? Which mumu musa, Musa that couldnt play a complete 90 minutes game with applause at Leicester. Musa that run with the ball like a blind man...pace without sense or finishing. Iwobi should be our 8 or 10
