I have made it easy for you and I have connected as easily as you can ever get.

Possession heavy football is Guardiola's gift to modern day football. Anyone you see doing it today studied him and Drew from him.

In a nutshell, with possession heavy football gaining popularity, tiki taka is not dying.

I have clarified enough. The only thing you can do now is go through my post and tell me if there are points that are wrong.

I have given a good summary to bring you up to speed.

What's Cryuff's philosophy sir? I thought he was the one who started all this tikitaka stuff

This possession stuff is ages before Cruyff. Cruyff's boss, coached him in the national team, Ajax and Barcelona, Rinus Michels made lots of breakthrough.

Alright. But a simple search from my end here shows Johan Cruyff invented tikitaka.

Even that analyst missed that TOTAL FOOTBALL is Rinus Michels and not Cruyff.

So sad mehn

Iwobi is that guy... If Etebo was technically good like maybe Kante, then we won't have much problem..

Ndidi at DM.. Etebo playing B2B and Iwobi at AM...
But Etebo is mostly all pace, energy and little technicality...

mostob:
Olise and Eze are also options but I didn't mention them because I'm concerned about their defensive aspect and also because they're not our players.
Alhassan is also an option but I've not watched him.

If true, really sad for the victim.

TheSuperNerd:
Where did I state otherwise? This is exactly what I have been singing @bolded. The Options are there but we ignore them.

The Midfield options we have combining, both capped and uncapped lads, gives us a chance to ACTUALLY pick the most tactically/technically balanced midfield but reality is WE WON'T.

The biggest problem of the Super Eagles lie in midfield followed by the CB pairing. If we fix these 2 areas, then our transition game both in offensive and defensive phases will massively improve.

Fact is we would not be able to fully take advantage of the attacking firepower we have in the final third if our CB and Midfield areas remain the way they are. Those two areas are keys to the first and second buildup phases of our plays so if they stay wack, then don't expect our attack to flourish so much.

And ofcos Nwakali won't be called anytime soon because we have myopic coaches too.
And this, inspite of the fact that he is among the midfield options that has the exact attributes we need to uplift our middle game plays plus he is among our most inform midfielders in Europe today. He is top 4 easily.

Nwakali, Alhassan, Onyedika, Iwobi are the lads from whom we can easily put together a starting midfield 3 tactically sound and synced enough to give us control, workrate and smoothness in our middle game plays.

Ndidi is still needed but he has his limitations which affects our middle game plays.
Onyeka too can be a good squad player but doesn't have enough requisite attributes to improve our middle game plays. Exactly why he can't be considered a starter.

The team needs Midfielders with great understanding of space in the middle in relation to the ball and has the forward thinking passing trait and ball playing nous to truly bring our final third assasins into play. Defensively all 4 first MF options are also astute.

We have enough of defensive-thinking MFs who don't have the ball playing nous and high ball intelligence to elevate our middle game. What we need are MFs with a mix of both.

No vex sir, so does Kompany deploy Tiki Taka?

Juventus have been docked 15 points in the league for some dubious transfer dealings!


Big news for Napoli

Danielnino00:


See ehn, Nwakali just needs to end the season on a high note and his agent should get him a better team... Eguavon gave him a call up cus he felt he needed him... Peseiro is behaving like Rohr by downsizing our midfield selections... It's very unlikely he would be called up.. Aside his creativity,he also offers good set piece taking abilities

Just a simple Google search will answer your question.

The image below reveals something critical that J talked about earlier. Possession heavy which is a term I coined. You can see theanalyst using a similar term, Heavily possession based. That is a system Guardiola made famous and influenced it.

Kompany is a possession heavy football coach, which is pure Guardiola.

TheSuperNerd:
Nathan Tella strikes again!!!

The Inevitable scoring wing forward of the Championship. Beautiful goal it was too. How he attacks the Half spaces and the gap between CB and Fullback is just Beautiful to behold. Baller!

His goal brings Kompany's Burnley level vs West Bromwich Albion. Ajayi on the bench.

9 goals and 2 assists now in 25 League games (19 starts).
