We are overloading the wings and it is not working because we don't have a central presence. We should be playing W type passes in the middle instead, that is where Boniface shines like at Leverkusen. |

drDoom3: Not to beat a dead horse, but in football style of play is more important than temporary victories. As I have maintained, our style of play was never sustainable, and when it did fail, our players looked like farmers. For the future, we need to hire a coach that can reboot the team with a style of play that maximizes our attacking talent and the football intelligence in our midfield (i.e Iwobi, Ndidi, Yusuf and co). Amunike is my first choice. 4 Likes |

Stillwater10: Zaidu not being there changes nothing. The problem is not Zaidu being there or anything. The problem is what I and a couple other monikers have been shouting since. This formation and style of play is not sustainable. Hugo Broos found the perfect antidote to it: since we refuse to press high, play out from the back and open up the pitch. Then, quickly play a long ball into the space between the back line and the goalkeeper, and trust your smaller but nimbler and faster forwards to get there first due to their superior acceleration (not necessarily speed). Now, the coach has to change the formation/personnel to counter this threat. But without testing any substitutes or new formations so far, the coach has ensured that we really don't have a back up plan. We have been figured out. |

charlesemeka85: Against a mid/low block any player is good at bringing the ball out from the defense, especially in a back three. You have more passing options, the opponents cannot double press you, you have CMs/DMs in Iwobi and Onyeka that can receive the ball, you have Osimhen you can lump the ball to. Very easy. The problem is facing a high press in a back two. Once the options are limited, that is when you know who is good at bringing the ball out from the defense and who is not. 1 Like |

Moniter0: Our playing style right now requires the two wingers to be fast, dynamic dribblers and pressers with good stamina. Only Moses Simon and Lookman fit that criteria. I understand Iheanacho for creativity but his off the ball work is too poor to start in this system. The creativity comes from Iwobi and Nacho cannot play that role. However I think he should come on earlier as a sub. 2 Likes |

Samueltemi337: Ekong is like Maguire. Good in a team that prioritizes defending. Have him try to play the ball out of the back or generate an attack and you are asking for trouble. That is why he looks good in this team. |

Odunayaw: If you sit that deep against quality players consistently, you are playing Russian roulette, it is only a matter of time. If that ball they hit the bar with went in, how would we respond? Osimhen was already gassed, Peseiro will bring Onuachu on to score two? |

Odunayaw: It is not sustainable. That is the issue. Once we meet a team that can hold sustained pressure in our attacking third towards the end of games, or we fail to score first in a game, we will struggle. 1 Like |

Odunayaw: Given our quality, we could have played much better and won much more comfortably than we did. The last 15 minutes were living on the edge. |

Odunayaw: But it is true. If Moses Simon was a little less pacy, or Lookman isn't an amazing ball striker, we probably would be talking extra time, cos God knows we weren't scoring again in that game with those terrorism tactics. 2 Likes |

We will probably keep shithousing our way to win games like this. It is not sustainable though, and if it fails, the team will look like farmers. 2 Likes |

jihday: The guys are exhausted because Peseiro wants to play them into the ground. Yusuf today was excellent. He should be coming on much earlier. The reason we sat so deep in the second half was because Angola brought on fresh legs to win the ball and retain it. We couldn't press anymore because of exhaustion, and Peseiro is not seeing that. We had two players stretchered off because of fatigue disguised as pseudo injuries. We keep getting lucky because the teams we play cannot mount sustained pressure in the attacking third later on in games. Once we play a team that can, or we fail to score first, we will struggle. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

I dont think we need a back 3. Remove Zaidu and bring in a Yusuf, move Bassey to that wing. Zaidu is horrible offensively. |

I am amazed Zaidu plays in the champions league. He plays football like he forgot his brains at home. Ekong has horrible composure for someone that is supposed to be a senior player. Wayward clearances, it seems he has still never recovered from his error for Watford in the EPL those years back. We need to see Nacho back. I would yank off Zaidu and bring in Alhassan to flood that midfield with energy. |

Mujtahida: We will easily physically match Cameroon. Bassey and Aina physically dominated Ivory Coast. In the midfield Onyeka and Alhassan can match anyone, or at least draw a foul when necessary. Osimhen up top, much does not need to be said. Lookman playing as a striker for Atalanta has really helped him step up physically, I remember a duel he had with Seko Fofana in the Ivory Coast game, I didn't know Ademola was that strong. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Starboytwo: The fact that we beat CIV doesn't mean we are doing well. We have a horrible team with individual talents. Because Osimhen can hold up to create chances from nothing and Bassey and Aina are 1v1 monsters doesn't mean we were better than CIV. We can't keep playing like this, it is not sustainable. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Yusuf singlehandedly carrying the midfield. Iwobi and Onyeka need to wake up. Abysmal performances from them. Ekong and Ajayi so shaky. Both decent 1v1 but horrible ball-playing. Ajayi so athletic though. Second half if the midfield refuses to wake up switch them up. 3 Likes |

komekn: Aina does not have much football intelligence. Amazingly athletic though. Reece James' athleticism without the composure and passing abilities. Very good one-on-one, until he meets a winger that doesn't rely on physicality to beat his opponent. Zaidu can be very erratic. He does some things very well though, like overlapping and crossing. Also decent one-on-one. There's a rawness to his game that I just don't like, it gives me the feel of poor coaching in his formative years. Bruno IMO is the best of the three. Intelligent and non-erratic, keeps things simple. Very conservative with recycling play and keeping possession, which makes him the most stable of the three, but also the least likely to contribute to the attack. Gives the feel of a CB converted to LB. Overall it depends on the opponent and game plan. Some games would be best with an Aina, some with a Zaidu, some with a Bruno. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

BascoVanVeli: Semi Ajayi has the worst passing I've seen in a professional football player. Watch the Zimbabwe and Lesotho games over again. Amazing one-on-one defender, wonderful aerially and can go on a rampaging run, but on the ball play is passing not ball carrying. 1 Like 2 Shares |
