Someone is claiming Lookman wanna use SE to break to the Everton starting XI cos Onyenkuru is more rated?!

Well I have nothing more to add, cos it's apparent you did reason like him.

Excuse me Mr Man, what is the meaning of all these now?

If you want to attack him for the comment he made why not face him? Why are you bringing me into this? Am I the owner of that moniker?

Well, I don't have time for this your antics this morning.

Just leave me in Peace.

All 3 of Iwobi, Iheanacho and Musa can function as false 9. I can now also add Onyekuru.

They can drop deep and beat their man in tight space. Besides, spaces are not tight all the time, forwards should not always aim at tight space they or other players can create the space for them to operate.

When you play as a false 9 that means you have to drop into the hole originally occupied by the opposing team's DMF there is absolutely no space around that area. First of all Musa CANNOT function as a false 9, from his style of play you can see that. How will Iheanacho who can hardly beat his man function as a false 9? If you play Iheanacho as a false 9 then he will continue drifting backwards until he starts playing as a 10 all over again and the function becomes null. Do not make me laugh, Onyekuru as a false 9? There is a big difference between beating your man all ends up around the touchline and actually having to drift through 2-3 players in the middle of the field. If you think Onyekuru can function maximally in a tight space then you really need to start watching him more often.

Like I said only Iwobi comes close to that role but his finishing abilities is a great negative for him presently.

Icon4s:


A good post and good questions.

Now see, If I want to play a lone striker, how would I continue to hope on an unproductive striker like Ighalo when I have an option of Simmy Nwankwo on the bench?

How many times do I want to play Ighalo to confirm that he is not prolific in front of goal? Throw in Simmy and let's see. After all this is Seychelles.

Now talking about the false 9. Not as if the team is completely alien to it. We played with it in some of the games leading to the WC and some WC games. And it proved to be our most attack threatening option.

Yes, Ahmed Musa may not function optimally as a CF but he has proven himself in the false 9 position.

Ighalo's positioning is terrible.
I understand if we say "yes he is bad but available options are few". Not that we should be defending him claiming he does hold up play. Ighalo's goals return is terrible. Ighalo does not pose any threat upftont. He does not test any goalkeeper.

The only time I ever advocated for Ighalo because of his holdup play was against Cameron way back then and it worked. Simy Nwankwo has how many goals in the Serie A this season? There is no way any coach would start him over a red-hot Ighalo, that is one of the laws of nature. If we have Simy averaging like 10-15 goals per season then we can call his name but he isn't, and that's the reason. It is currently clear that we are short of options in that department presently.


Quick question, based on your definition of a false 9, what did Musa play against Iceland? A false 9?

Chairman, all those 4 players I listed can play as false 9. A false 9 may not only occupy a space created by the opposing DMF. These things are not automated like you are playing a PS game. A false 9 can also play from wide positions. Note also that a team must not have just one player as a false 9.

Ahmed Musa cannot play as a false 9 yet he put 2 pass Iceland as a false 9.

Lol Ighalo Don suffer. 3goals in 3years. Chai.


Atiku wept!!!!

him own better sef Ryan babel has eight goals for Holland since 2005

Who is red Hot? Ighalo?

Ighalo has proven to be grossly incompetent in the GWG, I would take the chance of seeing what Simmy can offer.

Pinnick has been appointed by FIFA to head Ghana FA normalization team...same pinnick just successfully handled Liberia FA election..

pinnick is really a man Nigeria should be proud of.
competence is just something you can't hide.
I see him going places....

#kudos to pinnick.

Musa's game against Iceland was not from a false 9 position. That is not what a false 9 is, that is just a perfect example of a fluid 3-5-2 turning into a 3-4-3 because Moses was joining the attack. That was not a false 9 play at all, Musa was almost always on the wing and from that you can see that he was in now way a false 9. Let's just say he was a mobile forward drifting to the wings but calling him a false 9 in that role is a NO NO

Hahaha. Bros, That 3-5-2 formation against Iceland we deployed 2 false 9 in Iheanacho and Musa. Each of them played the role intermittently.

Many at time peeps here think the midfield is just around the center Circle. The midfield also extends to the flanks.

A false 9 typically falls deep into the midfield and also joins the attack. He is just an attacking midfielder that also runs into CF positions. Now note that an AM must not always play centrally. We can have an AM playing from the sides. Which is more like what Iwobi does in the SE and also under Wenger.

As I said, these things are not automated. It depends on how the coach has set up the team and defined roles for the players. Rohr did not play a recognized CF in that Iceland game. Musa and Iheanacho were used as false 9 interchangeably.

Modified: since you said Musa was always on the wings, in what position was he when he got that pass for that first goal?

Mickael2:

China you said?

Red hot in China but repeatedly proven to be Ice cold in the SE.

I remember watching Ighalo during U 20 WC and i asked myself was Siasia blind.

Really surprised to see him having good season with Watford and honestly apart from Cameroon match both home and away,am not impressed with Ighalo total output in GWG.

But the big question do we have someone to replace him?YES and NO

YES if we can be patient with the young ones like Sadiq Umar,Taiwo Awoniyi may be they can shake the tables but guess what a lot would still raise eyebrows calling this young lads.

Pls can Simy do it?I don't think so cos his goal scoring record not that good.

I think Rohr should change his formation to suit what we have or else we keep on struggling.

Joebie:
So this one na announcement before the real announcement? Wetin dey delay the real one na?

Let me state that we are very much aware that we are lacking quality CFs right now. We know options are few but that will not make us to keep defending the only one we have been trying all these years and has been failing us. I followed Ighalo even before he was called by Siasia at U20. He has always been at best average. That was why when he started scoring for Watford i saw it as a flash in the pan. He was having a form of his life that even him didnt believe.

Then to the question "Can Simmy do it"? My answer is why don't we give him the try? Ighalo has failed in previous matches and will still likely fail in the next match. We saw Simmy's game against DRC even though he didn't score but we saw some flashes of what Ighalo does not have.

And for those players u mentioned: Sadiq and Awoniyi, I am not even seeing them as players who can solve that CF problem because to me they are just average.

Rohr should either change the team setup or convert one of those young wingers to a CF.

or just the winner of the tourney?
I am getting scared.

Ighalo is my boy from the AJ hood, though I never saw him play. do4luv14, did u ever see Ighalo play at the Marakana stadium in Navy Town?

All Marakana products in the SE were always high flyers. The guy is not representing at all.

We are in WAFU Zone B. Only the winner of this Zone B will qualify to play in the CAF U17 not even the main U17 WC o.

To me any team that wins that WAFU Zone B is a potential World champion.

If our boys can manage to win this. I pity those Uganda, Tanzania , Angola and co they will be playing. CIV own go better pass their own.

Sportilitica:

Thank you. Ighalo is not the best striker at the moment but the way people speak ill of him is uncalled for. I have never seen him as a point 9 but he does all he can for the team. Funny thing is we really don't have anyone better at the moment. When that person comes up, at least appreciate the person leaving and don't go on bashing him. It is like we are just looking for any excuse to crucify the guy. Look, in some teams, midfielders do the scoring. Football has evolved, let us learn to appreciate our own

If we ask who should striker, you will be surprise at the names given?

andrew444:


Thank you for this

The hate on ighalo is just too much on this thread,that's the reason I see some people as kids who know nothing about football

I am not a fan of ighalo but I don't think he has a bad game on Saturday,for crying out loud he scored one and assisted one,he is no Messi

So many people on this thread focus that day was on ighalo instead of them to enjoy the game they look for any small opportunity to diss on ighalo

People sound as if ighalo is the only bad player at the World Cup

They are some certain players in the super eagles,i will not mention names ,if those players dare to have a bad game you won't see people on this thread diss them because they are fan favorite,if you try to diss them they will attack you,but let ighalo just misplace a pass,he will be insulted immediately

This guy gave an assist and score a goal,what else do they want ?

So many Nigerians are bias.

I saw a certain player fumbled in the last two matches he played but dem never see that one. That's why I don't take some peeps seriously here.

darkelf:


Haha bro, I beg to differ.

Even Musa that isn't playing a top striker position has scored 3 goals in his last three games for the eagles.

Hmm...hu! Oya! List the strikers you know.

darkelf:


I apologize on their behalf sis.

That is how they also compared nacho to Mbappe

Some comparisons sha....

Make em advice those people to apologize for comparing Nacho with Mbappe first. Mboko

A little word of caution ahead of today's friendly against Liberia. They are not an easy push over and they even drew their last AFCON qualifying game against Congo DR 1-1.

It is going to be a lot tougher than the Seychelles game.

It's apparent you equally reason like forgiveness, since we want to start giving credence to rubbish
