DoctorMcgruff:
Nigeria needs to employ a second more defensive lineup, Siasia should play a 5-3-2 with a triangle 3 (1 attacking mid, 2 defensive) here is why

1. Ighalo plays well with a striker next to him, part of the damage he does for Watford can be attributed to Troy Deeney's work next to him. Siasia should play Ighalo with Kelechi Uptop. Kelechi can create well enough for a striker, remeber the flick to sterling in the mancity pregame? or even Musa/Ighalo or Kelechi/Musa

2. 5 defenders will helps us protect the back, it will also help us play around with the mid 3, we could have 2 attacking mids in such a formation to help us offensivley

3. He should play Iwobi behind the two strikers, One thing i like about iwobi is he makes smart plays and can attack the box.

My issues with this lineup are two fold, i dont have confidence in our fullbacks and their ability to whip in balls, which is crucial in such a formation and Wingers like Moses Simon could be left in the cold. We could play him uptop, but who knows

This formation will spell doom for us in Egypt. What we are looking for is win and not a draw otherwise we are in trouble. Adi is very good in the air as well and very difficult to mark totally unlike Ighalo who is predictable. A good striker when policed, will change direction to confuse the opponent.

I'm personally very optimistic Super Eagles will surprise many & grind out a good result in Egypt come Tuesday.

i tink he is right. His 1st officially recognised debut.
It seems d frndly match was nt recognised by FIFA because England wanted him to play for them b4 today's game. My view

Debut means first time you're doing something. Saying first debut is an unnecessary repetition. All the commentator should have said is 'he's making his debut' chikena

I agree with the guy that said ighalo was predictable, I noticed it, little wonder why Hus goals has dried up, when we had emenike, if was just the same, trying to shield n muscle defenders.
most of our shot where wayward, most where either directed to the keeper or shot into the croud, ( ahmed musa was a culprit, he need to train himself on goal scoring)
mosses simon was fantastic, skillful and trouble the egyptins
iheanacho was more like the only guy who knows what he wants, two shots on target, not just to get a shot but an eye for goal which resulted in goal as well.
Mikel didn't do bad either , since he played where he love most.
but our defence was pathetic.

listen, i'm not hating. Nigeria should do away with mikel. Dude runs like a milipede. How many assists did he have today? What did he do to give us the win today?

The central midfielder is supposed to be someone agile. A playmaker. Someone swift. Not someone who's pattern of play has been configured for life to be defensive.

you don't know anything about football. If you do, den you should know was the best player on green today

TheGoodJoe:

You are pointing out that these attackers have innovative ideas to score goals when things do not come in easy. What is Ighalo's innovative approach when things get hard?

That is my problem. He just did the same thing. Which is easy for any top defender to stop.

No. It's their playing style. Ighalo has more mobility and build up play than Inzaghi and Chicharito. Yekini as prolific as he was had no build up play. Despite Inzaghi's supposed lack of build up play, he is one of the best scorers ever. It's just playing style.

Using Aguero as an instance, one of world top 5 strikers at the moment is ridiculous.

I can see you are a City fan. So you would naturally support Iheanacho. Iheanacho was not in the game today, the only reason I wanted him in was his eyes for goal. But if he were the point man, he would have been clipped.

No, it doesn't. But it reduces frictions between couples. Tolerance and sacrifices are needed to strengthen a relationship. When you are able to sacrifice 60 minutes soap opera so your husband can watch his 90+ minute football and he can sacrifice 60 minutes to let you watch your soap operas every time they are been shown, a lot of troubles will be avoided. That you have been watching your soap operas shows that your husband has been sacrificing a lot. So anything bad in you sacrificing an episode so he can watch his football?

Re: Nigeria Vs Egypt AFCON Qualifier: 1 - 1 On 25th March 2016 by gbenga44: 10:55pm On Mar 25, 2016

We play a very fluid game. I havent seen the Eagles connect and move the way they did in today's game. Our midfield and wing play was quite effective but still needs more precision and entry technique. Our centre attack play was quite commendable even though the Egyptians outclassed us in the back four department. A little more play time together , working on cordinatio and tactical awareness and position play will make this team a nightmare for Egypt in the return leg. However, our defense has to stay focused on the ball and ensure their outpasses hit midfield especially coming from Papa Efe!.overall, welldone to Sia1..welldone again.

quote author=princfred post=44107560] Yeah expect that from SiASiA. He is our special one . If not for the sabotage by some players the last time........ he is tactically and technically very sound.[/quote]

I disagree with the American being bigger than Iheanacho because he offered more bite and innovation than Odion Ighalo. The problem with Ighalo is that he has no plan B when things do no work out for him.

The Egyptian defenders were comfortable with us lobbing the ball to Ighalo. They had their ways of neutralizing him. Unlike Nacho who dropped deep a lot of time to be part of the game and make the midfield more fluid.

Our attack was too stretched out and Ighalo should have dropped deep to feel the ball, create himself breathing space and make our midfield build up play stronger.

In all I praised the players they did their best, we have good prospects going forward, if we don't qualify for afcon, we will surely qualify for the world cup 2018 with what the eagles played in the second half. My problem with NFF is that they will likely bring in a foreign coach who I think can't add any value to this team. I wish they can allow siasia be. The match was entertaining with the Kaduna fans cheering on. It was a long time we saw eagles play this good.

The boys played well and with time, the team will gel. The NFF needs to give Coach Siasia chance because his philosophy and pattern of play fits our current emerging talents.

I totally disagree with the idea of bringing in a foreign Coach. Coach Siasia and his crew will soon get it right. Dropping Siasia will take our development backwards.

Thank you for that response (not the 'drunk' part though). I don't understand why people feel the need to be so tribalistic. Forgetting that we're first of all Nigerian, before we're yoruba, igbo, hausa and the likes. Again, apt response.
