Spy360:
So Sterling is now your MCM because he got an assist?

Agenda

Where's the agenda for effectiveness seen in an instant? "Even Sterling" is not hard to decipher. Cos GJ gets minutes but is ineffective. Both are ineffective but the few minutes on the pitch is enough to use worst case scenario.


How that translates to MCM in your understanding is hilarious. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Who rates Sterling before?

Deltamani:
Same thing going on with Maureen Umeh, she love it there in France …. Her dream of playing for PSG is just so special to her, I hope it comes to pass.. She’s still young though.. 22yrs

at least we know which big team Maureen is targeting. Sulola dey target Madrid or Barca? Abi na Athletico Madrid(suits her more)

Deltamani:
If Madugu doesn’t Start Monday Gift…

Rw- Blessing Nkor, CF- Ifeoma Onumonu and LW- Rinsola Babajide should be the look out for..

I notice Madugu plays only 1DM with 2CM/AM on both sides going to & fro while working with the Wingers and Fullback..

So Ucheibe, JOE and Payne might start together..

I doubt he'll want to start Ify anyway. But that middle is precise.

Wondering why the invited Ado anyway

Deltamani:
Yeah yeah really wanted to see Blessing Nkor on the big stage, She’s good, We needed fast players and she’s one of them who can bring that threatening pace and power upfront..!

After a failed Deal with PSG 🇫🇷 and Lokomotive Moscow in Russia🇷🇺. I hope things fall into place next Transfer Window.

Im smiling at a linkup between her and Rinsola already. And with JOE behind. Oh my!!

AkinDS:
Yes.
They got relegated last season from the Liga F, even though she has been getting to play the full 90. I also wouldn't rule out a move for her in the next transfer window.
The Spanish div. 2 is still more competitive than some of the other leagues which some of our ladies play for.
Its all about testing out if she will make a good fit.

Means she really wants just Spain stay. I believe she had offers outside but probably didn't want to.

TheGoodJoe:
Style of play of the Super Eagles.

Even at that, he still couldn't string passes well. Like a demotivated field day, similar to Osayi.

TheSuperNerd:
Hmmmm... Okay, noted. But putting Frank as your lone pivot in the CDM role is not a balanced pick. Onyedika as a CM rather than as CDM is playing him in his less effective role. Alhassan at CM is okay in your setup.

The front 3. You seem torn between Mola/Iwobi flanking Osimhen and Mola/Simon flanking Osimhen when the whole point of your 4123 suggestion was to slot in Iwobi wide. So why the confusion? Lol

Rotation/movement between the 2. Like if Iwobi fits at Wing, the winger previously there slots into midfield and vice versa throughout the game. That's why 😃

Those 2, i picked the one with less attacking flair as cdm. Of course im away of Onyedika primary role.

AkinDS:
She moved from Valencia CF to Sporting De Huelva

Looks like a downgrade. Division 2?

Deltamani:

Noticed you've stop updates on Elisha Sulola. What's up with her pls? I wish Macleans was invited though.

BankyGee:
Lazio

🇳🇬🔥

What now happened vs Rwanda? Nawa o

TheSuperNerd:
Name your DM, 2 CMs and the front 3 in this setup. I wanna check something.

I'm no Ndidi fan as Starter. So I'll take Tank Frank. Let Alhassan and Onyedika take up the 2 spots. But this will mean Simon is benched which i don't see happening with his current form. So the 2CM spots is a really hard pick became Mola and Simon gats start on the left. Unless they make them rotate wings and hence Iwobi becomes one of the 2CMs(Alhassan dropped)

TheSuperNerd:
So your 4123 typically means a DM, 2 central midfielders ahead of him and then the front 3 of Lookman, Osimhen and Iwobi. Is that right?

Something like that. But Iwobi bring 1/2 CMs sorta. To trust Chuks/Nacho hard. So yeah, maybe Iwobi

mostob:
The way Kai dey give you PSTD eh... He collect your babe?

😆😆😆😆

TheSuperNerd:
Alex Iwobi as a wide creator in the GWG on the right while "another creative head takes up the central role in midfield" may just be what unleashes the attacking beast of the Super Eagles.

Ideas dey knack me. 😭

Iwobi as a central AM can still work too provided we get the middle balance right but as a right AMF also, this gives us a chance to have two creatives in the sake lineup with fantastic on field vision.

A 4123 will work. Turn to a 532 when defending, applying a leaf from Jpes afcon approach. It will bang goals. Leaving that 2 upfront for counter as Osimhen and Lookman

TheSuperNerd:
DaveP and Arsenal fans... Saka is still just 23.

If Arteta trust Ethan, he'll break Saka's 43 by age 23. Rival fans forget this guy is still 23. Can't wait for the icing sha. Trophies

TheSuperNerd:
City's defensive transition off the ball has been terrible lately and has contributed to their 5 losses in a row. Also, the absence of a proper CDM yesterday in their midfield setup also saw Spurs take advantage of gaps, while in possession, in the middle third to destroy City.

City didn't play well. They were horrific in defending. And Kyle Walker is washed. Needs serious dropping.

Joe would rather stand like Stonehenge than bend like crayfish despite facts


The stats screenshot he sent to me is a perfect evidence to counter his "we played well" stance. Cos the fouls, shots and possession showed how terrible they were. I just didn't want to tow that line in honor of Muj🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

jihday:
someone called this guy Grealish from Temu 😀

the guy na fake grealish🤣🤣

Complete football is knowing when to attack and when to defend.


You're bringing stats that showed how "great" you guys were at attacking, cos that's what stats do. Oya talk about your defending now? Oh, it's not a metric of the team now. 4 sweet goals and you still believe you played well


All the times Pep's team conceded 4 unreplied goals, there were all games that defending was worse than a championship side; from 2014 till present. How will i now comfortably sit down and say Pep's team played well in them? Is it a taboo to admit being outsmarted? If Spurs packed the bus, you'll say Negative football. They didn't now, but they wounded your defense, and guess what? That was now the avenue to say they played well because the stats shows shots and possession??

Ahan!! Ahan!!

🌚🌚😳😳😂

TheGoodJoe:
We played well. That can't be denied. What did you watch?

Abeg abeg nowwww. See all that Kyle Walker is saying. Perhaps you should deduce from that. You're bringing stats

TheGoodJoe:
As long as we bounce back, it is okay. We actually played well today. So it is okay. As long as we keep playing fine, results will swing back in our favor.

Losing two key pivots, Rodri and Kovacic is a lot. The defenders that played today are not back to full fitness. So it is okay.

Ahannnnnn. Take it easyyyyy. 4-0 and you played well?? Small small now. Abi the metric for playing welll in 90mins don change ni?

Before you ask, i watched too. Played well and City are oil and water right now.

Gucciboy:
If tottenham played like this last season at their home against mancity, Arsenal could have won the Premier League.

Yesterday i saw the clip that Son missed that goal vs Ortega. That was our moment but guy played one weak shot. Vexed moment to relive. We even had more GD.

johnjunior39:
Honestly.
I really feel Gabriel. J pain he wanted that goal but man is clueless.
Highlight for me , Nwaneri scored that goal and his movement showed he learnt from Odegaard was out.

But there was more urgency in he first half just issue of finishing. If Arteta get sense buy striker

He's a complicated guy. To keep things simple is not his thing and it's sad cos it's no longer working. I won't even bother, knowing its the norm GJ if not that Sterling got an assist barely 5 mins on the pitch. Guy couldn't even sync with Ethan to get something. Smh

viccy12:
You can't blame them, though. These boys are their products. Why can't Nigeria groom their own players out of over 200 million population.

When you guys keep dragging these boys I feel embarrassed because it makes you look like you have no brains. It's disgraceful to say the least

If we want to groom we have to trust the academy process and make it even more, and also trust foreign borns that want to rep instead of throwing them asides. But the age issue is persistent, but reduced compared to yesteryears.

Who no like better thing? Nothing to be embarrassed about that.

jihday:
England knows he’s special, he knows he’s special, Arsenal have been hyping him even before they signed him as a kid, my bro just quit dreaming about this boy

You prefer chido-Obi? Lol. Anyways.... You have a point

But an intentional FA president with a reputable ex-Int can do the trick. For now, we can only hope. He's 17.

Another sad fact is if he was available for the u17 or u18 camp, and a local coach was in charge, there's 200% assurance that he'll not be picked, and they'll justify it with the silliest of reasons. Those cadet mendem no get vision

jihday:
even the boy won’t answer you

Don't be too sure. He's not giving any Olise vibes na

TheSuperNerd:
Sadly we won't snatch him. Pretty sure Nwaneri will wanna follow in Saka's footsteps. But again, time will tell it all.

Time, in a normal settings, will tell.

Nff reliability gauge
Their seriousness for business
Ehen

I pray sha

TheSuperNerd:
Ofcos Ethan Nwaneri will be a great addition for us but I don't see England letting him go. Time will tell.

Even if they get 4 more lads (not Anglo Nigerians) of his profile, they still would love to cap him. Look at Eberechi Eze for instance.

Their current set up is toooo choked to even get Eze chance. To get 10mins in big games na wahala. We need to snatch this one. There's nobody like him right now in our reach

TheSuperNerd:
Bukayo Saka.... Still in the game of the best wingers on the planet.

England did well bagging him and now they would do extra well bagging another Anglo-Nigerian, Ethan Nwaneri. But Arsenal's biggest talent at the Hale Academy is Max Dowman. Yep. Watch out for him.

Can Arsenal produce Super Eagles next creative and attacking midfielder just like they did with Alex Iwobi?

Ethan Nwaneri will be a sweet addition to our attacking line. What you feel?

Shegzdave:
Exactly, those sleek passes

I hope they net loads on the UCL night coming

iamoyindamola:
All the games arteta forced trossard to play odegaard position
There's no way Ethan won't do something

Man needs to speed up his growth for risk taking with youngsters. That was barely 38 seconds after he nearly scored and see how he didn't waste it. If na GJ or Nelli, na stands

iamoyindamola:
We need martinelli pace to see off this game
Remove Jesus and let Trossard play cf

We didn't o. Lol. I also love how the game just flowed through the right wing and centre. I won't lie, we need that center attack back again

Roland17:
Zinny comes in for Calafiori

Did you notice Partey dropped immediately Zinny came on and it caused some little disruption to the flow we've hard before Zinny came? Not cos Zinny was bad but cos Passing and positioning between both was lowwww. I wish Partey finished in his spot. But good substitution for this game.


E be like MA dey read this thread o. Why Ethan for Odegaard? That guy used 4mins to score. Omo. His biggest forte is quick feet and decisiveness.
