Of the players that are missing cos of the COVID-19, I do believe that Koulibaly and Mendy are the "most significant" players. Mané played this match, and from the look of things, Senegal still lacks some "spark". The midfield is too stagnant. The attack looks bright but is toothless.

Hmmm & you think Mame Thiam or pape sarr are not vital?: I'm not mentioning thiam or so

I don't believe a player plying his trade in Turkey with no remarkables and a 19 year old will turn the fortunes of the Senegalese team in one swoop.
Senegal problem is technical.

This might be hard for some of you guys to digest, Sadiq Umar and Awoniyi are yet to become the player Iheanacho is.

The are yet to match up in terms of being clinical in front of goal, creativity, passing, positioning, even on the tactical side of the game.

It will be a great disservice, if Iheanacho doesn't lead the lines of attack.
i’m in no way dissing iheanacho, he is the only proven goal scorer we have in that team.

What I’m harping about is that, Awoniyi and Sadiq are products of the naija system and are both No9 in their respective clubside and the various age group they played in naija, also both are not like Dennis who just blew up overnight(if I can say that) we have been looking at these guys for about 5 years or more and hoping they’d get the chance. The chance is NOW. Awoniyi is 24-25, umar 23/24. If they can’t cut it, maybe they won’t.

I would certainly not enjoy iheanacho being my no 9 sha. The guy no even get the physique for that role.

From my observations so far, the entire CAF VAR setup is pretty useless. Here are my reasons:

1. No replay of scenes
2. Lack of quality camera angles. They have just one angle to review a scene which is pathetic and doesn't tell the whole story
3. No clarity and lacks fairness to me
4. No reasons or illustrations shown for final decisions
5. The whole system is subjected to easy manipulation
6. They waste way too much time to review a scene which they end up not displaying for the viewers

CAF did not adequately prepare for this VAR system deployment. They only used a flying camera setup in the opening game yesterday and nothing of such here.

Anyways, there can always be improvements.

Chill.

It was 4 mins added time.

The penalty incident occured at around 93mins 45secs. So the ref had to wait for VAR review which took a while before Mane took the penalty.



Happy new year brother, thanks for last time

Anything is possible tho, no one is ruling Senegal out totally from the top favorites for the trophy. We're saying that Senegal should up their game cos their current style of play makes them look more of a struggling side

As much as I love this formation and selection, the attack won't work. Should Iheanacho play central forward in a 4-3-3 formation, he should be partnered with pacey inside forwards like Ahmed Musa who can feed off his creativity upfront. Like how Rodgers used Lookman to feed off Iheanacho against Liverpool or how Mane/Salah play off Firminho.

Playing Iheanacho, Chukwueze and Ejuke upfront will have them dribbling, passing the ball around without any them attacking space or being aggressive in the box.

That’s the point…

We don’t have to be necessarily aggressive in the box… we just need to be fast enough to create chances and score goals.

This should be more of a 4-1-3-2 with Chuks and Ejuke a bit more central (I.e Salah and Mane) and Nacho slightly behind in a Firmino-esque false 9 spraying through passes and finishing in the box where necessary.

I hope Serezo picks the right player to lead our attack.
Umar might not be able to lead that attack; his performance during the olympics speaks volume though it's been years.

Awoniyi would be preferable though he played second fiddle to Umar during the olympics.


Wait did we watch the same Olympics?

Sadie then at 19 was one of our best players… I still remember his header against Sweden and his screamer against Honduras. I was surprised seeing the guy there for the first time without U17 or U20 experience.

True. However, they're only improving at least there is effort to make things standard.

The flying camera is actually a rope camera. I don't think FIFA permits drones. That rope camera is fixed to the stadium and not every stadium has it. Especially the ones without cover.

Nacho had a brilliant game playing as a striker against Manchester City. So how can you finito with he is not a striker?

He actually played well as a lone striker against Man city because he didn't have to press, play him as a lone striker to lead the press and he falls desperately short

Senegal problem is technical.

A lot of people have said it here before, a lot of African teams do themselves a lot of disservice by hiring shitty and sib standard national team coaches , whether indigenous or Foreign for their national teams. See senagal with good players but will still struggle against mid European teams for world cup because they have a terrible technical department.
