If a striker is playing striker does it change anything?

For it to be false, it has to be a midfielder playing as a striker.

Abeg nor argue semantics with me. I pass that level.

You quoted a simple definition I gave just to discredit me with an epistle. Imagine putting up all those words just to explain false 9.

My simple definition is a midfielder playing upfront. That is the player possesses the skills of a midfielder but is positioned as a striker. You mentioned them as dribbling, ball control, creativity etc.

The examples you gave also justified my claims. Bernado, Messi, Bellingham etc were all midfielders in advanced roles.

Also as you said that a striker drops deep could be due to lack of seeing the ball not necessarily because he has to. In a low block the striker will have less of the ball and will drop deep but he will always be the most advanced player in his team. For a false 9 it is his duty and not just him doing it. Even strikers drop deep to defend. That doesn't make them false 9s.

There is a difference between a midfielder in an advanced role and a striker dropping deep. The bolded is what's a false 9. Common sense will tell you that if he is a striker already there's no point calling him false. It a midfielder is playing midfield will you call him false 10? Makes no sense. The false in that term is because he is not a striker in the first place.

Kane drops deep because that's his pattern not because the coach wants him to. Even at Spurs he does that too. We cannot look at Harry Kane in a team and say he is playing false 9 because he drops deep at times. Kane does that simply to evade markers. That's his pattern. But when you have Kane in your team you don't say he is a false 9. That would be stupid. You can easily replace Kane with Lewandoski, does that change anything? No. If you substitute Kane with Chipo Moting will he also drop deep? No.

Spy360:

First of all, what is a false 9?

Let's start from there because it seems you probably are using a wrong term to describe what you want.

A false 9 is a midfielder playing upfront. Like Cesc Fabregas for Barcelona those days.

Harry Kane for all intent is a striker, a 9 and not a false 9 please. May be you didn't get the definition right which misinformed all of us.

The recurrence of such incident is totally linked to local coaches and although still not loud, but bribery might just be at the helm of such situations. Self sabotage makes no sense unless what's at stake is personal and bigger than glory. He's not even the 1st too. Local coaches??

TheSuperNerd:
People seem to forget Manu Garba's deliberate sabotage of his own team at the 2015 U20 WC. Benching attack-oriented lads who would have helped us go far in the tournament. Benched Iheanacho, Yahaya, Success, and co just to prove a point that ended up being pointless.

Couldn't last beyond a season at Gombe Utd. At least Amunike did two-three seasons at Ocean Boys and a season at Julius Berger.

Please... you may not like Amunike but enough of the selective slander.

I respect Manu for his work at U17 level in 2007 snd 2013 but he too has failed at same U17 level in 2016-2017 and barely scrapped together a team in 2019 that fumbled badly at the WC.

This latest Manu Appointment as U17 coach again is his chance to redeem himself. Thankfully he will have two sound tacticians as his assistants. Like DaveP suggested, Olumide Ajibolade is good enough to head that team while Manu excused but it is what it is. Hoping for the best.

Trevor012:


Messi at 20 had 30goals and 10assist in 84 career apperances.


Palmer this season alone has 25goals and 13assists in 45apperance carrying a mid table team like Chelsea plus on his way to winning the Golden boot according to Chelsea fans.


Stop showing us fraudulent and underserved awards.

Trevor012:

There's only one football God and he's not a midget. If we are being truthful Palmer is more talented than Messi. Messi was never this good at his age. 20 league goals in the premier league, even Messi could not drop that outside la Liga. Palmer is Chelsea biggest talent in the last 50years.

BlueRayDick:


Try use ur sense if u must quote me Abeg 🙏

BlueRayDick:


Jesus in this game ? Make he come dey dribble the whole team instead of shooting ?

Havertz offers us more threat attack wise in this game. He can drag with their tall CB's

Baddestguyp:


Honestly, I just started X-Men 97 today after hearing all the hype about Episode 5 and I'm surprised by how it's been...I'm done with the first 2 Episodes...

It's more mature than I expected tbh...

Spy360:

The way he was smiling after the game makes you know he achieved his aim. You cannot ask you wingers to defend for 75mins and still claim to plan to win.

Note that I am arguably Arteta's biggest fan here. I am being objective. He didn't plan to win. I am not against it, it's just that especially seeing how it panned out I feel we could have gone for the kill from the start.

Beremx:
Erisco are hypocrites. Below is what they said.

Oche211:


Honestly, if Erisco had kept quiet and not do a thing, no matter the noise around the review, it would had fizzled out within 3 days.

Majority of us wouldn't have known or heard anything about her review.

Capaldi:

Immobile that has always flopped for Italy and Ret that's just a young boy. Those options are mediocre at best.

By the seven gods both old and new, I don forget my team 🙆🏿‍♂️

Nope. Wrong choice IMO.

What do you guys think?

I thought they would have gone with an unknown.

EnterpriseMan:
One of the biggest joke I have ever heard. If you like order from now till kingdom come, those fagots will not get any data.
It's simply breach of privacy.
Binance is a worldwide entity and disclosure of client data to any government without any evidence of crime is something that they can get sued for and make them lose billions of dollars.
The issue is plain and simple, Nigeria cannot and don't have the power to get any data from Binance.
If you like arrest staff, is it the staff that has the data? You think the owner of Binance even has their time?
Mumu people, ordering them to release data on what grounds? Nigeria and embarrassing themselves internationally will never get old.

Roland17:
I don’t like this draw, I no go lie and I am unsure why many are already convinced we are better Do we have the quality to compete against Bayern? Yes, but Bayern in the Bundesliga is different from Bayern in the UCL.

Tuchel may be horrible in the league but man is a beast when it comes to UCL knockout. A lot of Bayern fans including those who want him out are worried he may walk his way to the UCL final and that would complicate his dismissal, especially if he wins it.

Amongst the top teams, they are the ones, along side Madrid I least wanted because of the quality of their team, experience and pedigree in the competition. I worry a lot about our inexperience at all levels.

We absolutely can’t lose the first leg or lose by a large margin because this Bayern side have tremendous quality especially in their transition play going forward. We just have to give ourselves a chance in both legs. This isn’t going to be a walk over but like I said earlier, we have the quality to give a chance.

I downloaded The raid 2 based on the The raid movie.

They were just beating each other up. Just choose any body you can kill and finish him and later get killed.

It was a disappointment.

Queenslander:
when I was just about to download Ted the series.. 🥲

BankyGee:

I swear. And off the pitch, he knows how to talk. Baba no dey brag, he doesn't underestimate opponents and he doesn't overrate them at the same time. He can reply stupid questions from journalists and lastly...


Make he continue dey wear suit for all our matches...
