lloydtruth:
Eguavoen has displayed one of the poorest tactics I've seen in world football. How can you go for an away match to a strong team and you focus more on attack with four attacking players at the detriment of the midfield? Even one of the 2 midfielders bonke isn't too familiar with the team, so basically Aribo is running the midfield alone.

Moses Simon is beginning to see himself as Messi and he has been spoiling this game.

Subzero47:
If anybody talks about utilizing Iheanacho or accommodating Iheanacho I am going to run mad!

Joebie:
4-2-4 against a team this is huge in midfield..
I was curious to see how it would play out. The first half says it all. The big question, will he realize and adjust?

safarigirl:


Thank God there is enough rope in the country, if you run mad, we tie you up in one corner and continue the conversation with sane people.

Philosopher1979:


Frank onyeks should be in midfield while atibo will play 10 in front of onyeks and bonke. Dennis can replace chukwueze.

Eguavon is getting his tactics wrong.
Nigeria has a serious coaching problem since westerhoof left.
Maybe the present coach of Ajax yrn hag can help.
There is no difference between Eguavon and rohr. Good players but bad coaches. I am tired. Our football administrators should work on our coaches.

JohnBullMySon:
The problem is with his intelligence. Not everyone can sit to watch and track football in detail. They just want to see a goal and when they don't, they look for any random player to blame.

You start hearing nonsense about midfield and defense, completely missing the point.

forgiveness:


Hahahaha! Dey said we played badly at the AFCON because Osimhen was not there.

Now that Osimhen is there let us see the miracle he will do with dis AE pattern of play.

AndSunGorilla:

the first 30-35 minutes were for Ghana but I think the last 10-15 was Nigeria in the ascendancy. So because we finished strongly in the 2nd half, the coach might want to keep the same formation. Though I think our midfield has been porous.

Joebie:
u have come again.. We are playing against Ghana, not against FBs

Joebie:
Hesgoal works now!

Icon79:
For the Second half: Iheanacho and Simon should give way for Dennis and Lookman. And I’d like to see Bassey come on for Sanusi as well.



O pari

daveP:
Why? Let me rephrase


AE is confused and so stubborn he has no other thinking but to see Nacho start even if nothing comes out of him.


Convinced?

Joebie:
AE it's time to listen to EA

EgusiShankly:
Chukwueze and iheanacho in the same eleven is a burden to the rest players

semid4lyfe:


Exactly.

Iheanacho's clinicality and finishing is not enough to keep him on the pitch. Na when he see chance him go score.

Remove Iheanacho for Onyeka. Push Aribo forward to play behind Osimhen. He's making the runs into the Ghanaian box, what Iheanacho should be doing but isn't.

This substitution has the benefit of adding an additional player in midfield and solidifying the midfield and defence too.

Remove Chukwueze, bring in Dennis.

Is Eguavoen tactically astute to read the game and make these changes?

I doubt it. Eguaveon no be am

samtol4:
This is the time for the coach to make tactical changes. The midfield is obviously weak and dominated by Ghana. There is need to bring in midfielder - Onyeka, and Dennis. Remove all those players who want to dribble instead of a counterattack. Ghana �� is under pressure to win and they will come out, a good counter-attack will give us the needed goal

safarigirl:


This is the B team of who?

Why you dey lie?

If na so, this is our own B team too.

Abi you see Bonke when we been play last time?

Curtisaxel10:
Balogun is an expired product please. Dude can hardly stay balanced on the ball. Semi Ajayi is ten times better.

safarigirl:
Why has there been no changes abeg?

Joezinho:


No Joseph panstil, no andre Ayew, no Andy Yiadom, no baba Rahman, no kalmadeen Suleiman. So what are you saying?
