In my opinion we do already have a team that can score goals, even if we do not; I'm not sure that our coaches are adventurous enough to integrate anyone new into that midfield at this point... That said, realistically making use of our regular invitees is the way.

However, looking at the player profiles the setups have always been wrong.

The best system for our current group of players is a 4-2-3-1

A 4-3-3 will not work for the following reasons:
1. There's no natural number 6 to recycle the ball and glue the midfield together (Nwakali is about the only Nigerian player who can do a good job there, but of course we do not want to hear it)
2. We do not have pure wingers.. the only pure winger we have is Moses Simon, playing him on the right (hugging the lines which is his strength )and Ademola (inverted) on the left always causes a tactical imbalance when our full backs (who also enjoy hugging the lines) join the attack which a few days training (typical of National teams cannot fix).

A 3-4-3 will not work because we tend to have five men at the back without the ball instead of a four or five man mid-field without the ball as it should be, leaving us very thin in the midfield more like a 5-2-3 without the ball, the midfield is then overrun repeatedly
For instance Benin Away first half.. iheanacho was played on the right wing (which is scandalous by the way) without the ball I would have instructed him to tuck into mid-field and lead the press in that zone if I was the coach, instead he was just all over the place...

4-2-3-1 on the other hand will not need so many tactical instructions, the players will adapt easily and play at their best.

The back four basically picks itself:
Midfield pairing of Ndidi and Onyedika should start --- Ndidi the ball winner, Onyedika the distributor.

Chukwueze on the right (inverted) Aina next to him hugging the lines to deliver crosses.

Ademola on the left (inverted)
Onyemachi next to him hugging the lines to deliver crosses

Iwobi in the hole,
Osimhen up top.

This setup will deliver goals and can easily be implemented with little training.

It's not rocket science really

I been like this post but when I come read down see nwakali I unlike am 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

lbrichman2:
You see that Rashford ehn?!
Make I just no talk fes

I pray he leaves MU soon

I will even prefer retaining Maguire than Rashford 🤣🤣🤣

elyte89:
Well I don’t c iwobi as a creative midfielder like I said earlier in one of my post,any coach dt still relies on iwobi as a creative hub is a lazy coach

I will rada use him d way his club fields him,dt is if he will start ..to me I will assume we don’t have dt creative midfielder at all

na this thing mk no serious football club or country wan hire u 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

BankyGee:
😂😂😂😂

Asides bants, Amorim look like who go give una better reps back sha 😎

I hope so but for him to succeed he needs to let go of few dead woods in the team

Rashford and Luke Shaw should the the first duo to go

BankyGee:
@charlesemeka85

nowahala e go better 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

EEGA:
A fit and inform Bashiru seeing 70+ mins in the Europa league is the solution to our midfield dilemma.

Eguavoen needs to hold conversation with Lazio coach and Bashiru as regards playing time in his club side.

He is the only midfielder asides Onyedika that can score when our forwards are marked out for most parts of the game.

Bashiru we saw against Rwanda was not fully fit as he was still recovering from a knock that made him miss the Benin game.

He should be played just behind Osimhen or on the right side of the midfield not on the left like he was deployed against Rwanda.

Playing on the right side of the midfield enables him to shoot and come in with his stronger foot(left foot).

It's not just finding one who can give those line breaking passes but one who can also score when the forwards are finding it difficult to do so.

hmmm🤦‍♀️

Charlesemeka85 right now: FATHER!!!! MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!

2by2 plank 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Not surprised 🤣🤣🤣

zicky:
But Taminu was invited to SE squad as a division 3, heaven did not fall. If it happens with Nwakali you know UN no go fit settle the conflict wey go erupt.

Oasis007:


I admire some folks spirit of loyalty on this board sha. Really can't believe some dudes actually have hope on Nwakali.

Nwakali ain't longer a kid in football, he is 26yrs old yet playing in 3rd tier league ordinarily should be meant for U17 players to honing their skills and developing their game.

His mates have gone far ahead of him. He ain't apparently gonna smell Eagles' call-up again, except he finds himself in at least in the championship.

It ain't crime to never give up on the lad and I genuinely respect those still have hope in him. What is so certain is; he ain't the Jigsaw we are missing in GWG at the moment!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

humility33:
The hype this Nwakali have received on this platform is unmatched so unfortunate that the best he can do is to laquish in league 1 where as he is supposed to playing in top or decent league been in his 20s

If he is that good as we try to paint him here he will be in top league or perhaps in a decent club. This scouts are not blind

I just see comments on his world class performance in a league 1 tie shame no gree me see road

Next agenda now is to campaign for his return to the super eagles and if u go against it they will use Tanimu to justify his recall 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

viccy12:
Nerd nwanne , longest time. Odenigbo Aroli greets.

For Nwakali, you know the insults and disrespect i took from the likes of Charles Emeka and his gangs, but I had never lost hope in that young man. I am happy for him and every young man should learn a lesson from Nwakali's struggles

una shame dey shame me 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Truidstarr:
I am really red with shame this morning... We are now plumbing the depths indeed. Hyping a league 1 player? Come on folks!!!!

u never see anything 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

AndSunGorilla:
Thought you had retired?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Swedish champions Malmo FF have made Emmanuel Ekong, son of former Super Eagles star Prince Ikpe Ekong, their top transfer target

Philosopher1979:
Moses simon is badly underrated. I even think hw may deserve a better league/club. I wonder why we don't rate him

one of the most important players on this super eagles team

Also one that will be hard to get his replacement when he hangs his boots

lbrichman2:
After we score, their Keeper no gree lie down for ground again🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

lbrichman2:
Monday

ouch🤦‍♀️
What time?

lbrichman2:
Firstly, I think the news that we had already qualified removed the urgency in our boys
They knew they didn't have to exert themselves too much..

Secondly, our setup in the first half was wrong
If we played a balanced midfield in the first half, we would have scored
Thirdly, our boys were too cautious. They were obviously trying to avoid injuries
Looks like Aina took a knock
I hope it's not too serious..

Now we can rest our first team, and play the other guys against Rwanda..

Job done!
Now we focus on getting to the world cup

when re we playing Rwanda

🔥🔥🔥

Bannedlargejr:
Iheanacho although not in form was definitely good in the first half

🙁😳

AndSunGorilla:
Moses has really improved on his deliveries!!!!!! second time consecutively!!!!

the assist came from the same iheanacho’s flank which I faulted in my analysis after the first half
