The team looked more potent is different from Ighalo scored or assisted a goal? Comprehende?

The fact is we looked more like scoring more goals with Ighalo in the team. He was able to take up great position to unsettle the Iceland defenders who focussed on him because he was a threat unlike Nacho. The let down was Ighalo decision making like I stated earlier.

I just hope Musa won't be man marked by the Argentines and with no other forward to act as a threat to relieve Musa the pressure, he will be in for a long game.

somehow:
Should we be using 3:5:2 against Argentina come Tuesday knowing fully well they will have more attackers on the field of play than midfielders/defenders?

safarigirl:
how can you combine Iwobi and Simy? In a key game like this, you cannot field players whose capabilities are largely unknown

You can field Iwobi with Musa or Iheanacho, but allow Simy keep Ighalo company on the bench. You cannot be taking such a dangerous risk for a game this important

As far as I am concerned, the line up against Iceland can do damage to Argentina. There is no studying that the Argentine team want to study that will nullify that team. They don't have the personnel to nullify that team.

safarigirl:
he's talking about changing the players, not necessarily the forwards alone

Iwobi has dealt with them before, he can do it again, he and Musa also played together in that game and Musa had the assist for his second goal. So, Iwobi should be ahead of Ighalo and Simy if we are talking forwards that can play with Musa

darkelf:


And how many of our player know you exist sorry?

Unlimited22:

Yes na. The 3-5-2 can morph into a 5-4-1 when we're defending. Musa stays alone with their slow defenders with Iheanacho dropping a bit deeper to help Mikel, Ndidi and Etebo. Moses and Ebuehi play closer to the trio of Omeruo, EKong and Balogun.

Mickael2:



I would vouch for a 4-5-1 against Argentina. playing three at the back would create space out wide for Messi and or Dybala depending on who starts on the wings and these two guys can commit players. a 4-5-1 maintains that defensive rigidity especially since Moses has decided that whenever he okays as a wingback for us that he would be more concerned with attacking than defending

Mujtahida:

I dey suspect your leanings. If you know you know

Mickael2:


from this picture he could have clearly put it under the GK and he would have scored. Besides no sane striker would pass that ball, even if its Messi asking for that pass you can't pass to him, that's your moment of glory.

Icon4s:


Your fingers were too fast. You just posted my mind.

bataderemi:

Another angle would be that passing back from here, which is what passing to kelechi is, would give the other defender enough time to recover. So it isn't certain Kelechi would score. Also, was it not here that people attacked Owen when he said Kelechi should have passed when he scored from a difficult position, why the double standard now?

somehow:


3:5:2 can easily turn to 5:3:2 or 5:4:1 when defending if the right players start

ChrisKels:


Iheanacho does, Samuel Chukwueze does, the Nwakali brothers do, chidera Eze does, Chigozie obasi does, Sunday Mba my village boy does, Kelechi emetole did . But no Argentine player knows I exist

Mujtahida:

Your depression will continue for a long time. I always take your criticism of Moses with a basin of salt.

I have nothing hidden in my Sleeves though, just wanna be peaceful with Everyone cos we are Brothers already!

There is something I certainly know; we all want the same for the Eagles - Success! Even those casting Aspersions upon the Team are doing it out of love for the Eagles.

You need to see how Peeps on the European Section followed and celebrated the Victory. Many of them just don't wanna have full Confidence in the Team like us here and eventually get disappointed.

One Love is all I want.

Watch from 00:28 you could see Anderson had a Chance to score but instead opted for the man in space. As I said before the team's glory beats an individual glory. Which is what I am pointing out. You are more interested in Musa's glory than the team's glory.

darkelf:


So, ifiam the beer parlor analyst, you're now the tactician?

Why then are you on nairaland quoting me?

Funny man. Kwantinu

Mickael2:


be it 3-5-2 or when it morphs to a 5-3-2 the baseline there is that it creates space for players like Messi. do you remember that match against Chelsea? He had space to operate over and again.

darkelf:


Wow. Then you're a chairman then

have you ever seen me discuss tactics here? me I'm here to read updates and laugh at the way some people say orisirisi here.

Christian Chukwu and many ex internationals who were my marternal grandpa's teammates in Enugu Rangers do

Mickael2:



either you didn't play much football or you didn't play much as a forward. Musa had to outpace his marker, in that situation your eyes has to be firmly fixed on the ground so you don't forget the call whilst running or trip on it, and before he started that run Nacho wasn't anywhere close so passing to him was a no no, when he outran the player he was now face to face with the GK and Nacho had a marker who had to leave him to go and cover the other post, in that split second Musa looked up and saw an opponent close to Nacho, that alone would block your mind from passing to him and that was how he carried on.
