doyin01:

Osimhen is not yet fully fit.He will be coming in as a sub in the second-half.

EEGA:
May we try watch am.Since Eguavoen prefers attacking football and Ilechukwu sets up his team by making them compact at the back.

I expect at least 3 goals in this match.

You recall Eguavoen's group stage record in AFCON 21, where he recorded 100% victory in the group stage.

Chriskel's e be like say you go pay me for this prediction.

ChrisKels:
First time Nigeria will be playing a football match and I'm not moved. Like, I don't care if they lose or win, I don't even care if they have a match today or not. No single emotional attachment. Nna ehn

Chrisantus Uche is playing as a Striker.

I recall, he once scored in pre season.

codemaniacs:
They need to run forward into the opposition half once any of the SF players have possession in the opposition half.

Against Brazil it was mostly Ajibade and ihezuo that were moving into the opposition half..

Ajibade was isolated most of the time she went forward with the ball.

Our midfielders in that game don't have long range passing in their skill set.They find it difficult evading a press in midfield because they are not press resistant and end up giving away possession.They can only break play and give short tidy passes.An Ajibade infront of them will do that.

codemaniacs:
against Spain they need to run with the ball the way Ajibade was running with it...

Spain won't give them chance to pass the ball...

Brazil intercepted most of the through passes SF tried so Spain will do better than Brazil and keep possession..

Ucheibe is a good DLP who can easily carry the ball out from the back, but she lacks it when it comes to long range passing.

Ajibade should play the advanced midfield role alongside Onyinye Echegini.

If Ajibade is played in this position, she will always be available for a pass.

yinkeys:
I’m curious to know what game plans Mr. Waldrum will come up with
Spain are a very difficult team
They have tricky forwards.
If it’s me I’d tell them to try to go physical without getting cards
Kick every ball to throwing for 90 mins
Just distort flow of play
Let’s play a rough messy game
No time

We can get a result from this match, if we stack the midfield with players.

A 3-4-2-1 is the answer.

codemaniacs:
to beat Spain Super Falcons defenders need to understand the defense line and stay compact and disciplined...

SF lost to Brazil due to bad defending and bad finishing in attack..

it doesn't matter who starts the starting 11 should be ready to concentrate, press and pack the bus or Spain will beat Nigeria 10 - 0..

Any lack of concentration and Spain will pass the ball into Nigeria's net as if Nnadozie is a bad keeper..

Echegini must not start.. she does not drop deep to help the defenders and midfield and she does not know how to shoot.

The best way to defend is to attack.The Brazillian's kept us in our own half for most parts of the game.We defended well against them but offered very little threat in attack.

Football is all about tactics and strategy.You can beat a very good side with the right tactics-Kloop.

Echegini Onyinye must start.She boasts of the best goal contribution amongst the players (midfielders) invited.Check her goals and assists for Juventus last season.She even had a shot that missed the net by a whisker before the conclusion of the first half.

She was played on the wings instead of as an SS or AM(i.e behind the main Striker) which is her preferred role thereby affecting her efficiency.

Okeke played the LB role like a CB as she did not overlap neither did she join the attack.She forced Onyinye to drop deep , making things difficult for her.

To beat Spain we need a creative mid-field, with both Ajibade and Echegini starting in front of Abiodun and Ucheibe.Use Alozie and Nicole as wing-backs.Ohale, Demehin and Okeke starts as centre-backs.

Esther Okoronkwo should lead the attack while Macleans Chinonyerem comes from the bench.

Kanu is not a CF. She is a LWF who can also function as a false 9. She lacks the positioning and spatial awareness to play as a striker, because she thrives in running into spaces down the flank.We need more creative legs in midfield so that the attackers can see more of the ball.Recall that both Ucheibe and Abiodun are both defensive midfielders.

codemaniacs:
back 3 is good..

but you are forgetting that footballers are not static and can switch or move positions during the match which means 2 at the back can become 3 at the back if one of the DMs like Ucheibe drops deep to help the CB infact against Brazil they played 4 at the back because Abiodun and Ucheibe were doing all the tackling and interceptions for the defenders..

the problem was Echegini did not move to CM or CAM while Abiodun and Ucheibe dropped to help the CBs so there was no one in midfield to transition the ball...

no need to move Ajibade to the middle. let Kanu play as CF while ihezuo moves to LWF and since players can move positions during the match ihezuo should also play closer to Kanu as LCF which is what I expected Echegini to do instead of just staying as the Left Wing she should have move downwards and played as SS to Ihezuo and should have also dropped deep to help Okeke with the defense then run with the ball to Offense the same way Ajibade was helping the defense and carrying the ball to Offense..

If we want to get a result against Spain, we must move Ajibade to the middle as AMF.

Esther Okoronkwo starts as CF.

Nicole Payne and Alozie as wing-backs.

We can play a 3-4-2-1 formation.

A 3-2-4-1 will get us a result against Spain.

Our midfield lacked creativity.We couldn't create any meaningful chance for our forwards.

Our wingers have also been sub-par.

The above formation ensures we remain solid at back while ensuring smooth transition from defence to attack, as Rasheedat will be saddled with playmaking duties.She will also operate as a Support Striker alongside Echegini(since both can easily score when played just behind the main striker) just behind the mobile and pacy Esther Okoronkwo.

Pls can I get a highlight of Benjamin Chiemela Frederick against Benfica?

BascoVanVeli:
Neymar is the last real Brazilian player on the planet Earth. The rest might as well be playing for England

Fisayo Dele Bashiru with a brace and an assist as they beat CS Auronzo 23-0.

Goke7:
That Swiss I saw against Italy? naaa!

Stop doubting this team.

They have to the potential to get to the Semi-finals of this tournament.

They just need to start Toney,Eze and Palmer.Let Watkins also see some minutes from the bench in their next games.

TheSuperNerd:
If Switzerland is their next opponent if they survive this, then it may be Otilo. The Three Lions have to step up big if they are to survive the Giant-Killing Swiss.

They can beat Swiss, if they start with the players that finished this Slovakia game.

TheSuperNerd:
Truth be told, this English team has the quality. I said it from the beginning of the tournament in their opener against Serbia but their issue is the stiffling coaching of Southgate.

This England lead is as a result of the players pushing. Not down to any Southgate magic and because this is their case, they may not survive a stronger, better, technically superior and more tactical opponent.

England is lucky to be in this half of the round of 16 draws. The other half houses the true powerhouses that could hurt them but even at that, their path is still not all safe.

They can get to the Semi-finals, if they start with the line-up that got them the equaliser and the winner.

Kane and Toney upfront.

Palmer and Eze also starts.

Southgate should sub Kane at the beginning of the second half if they want to progress beyond this round.

I expect to see Palmer by 65th minute.

Eze can also play a part in midfield.

komekn:
You play two defensive minded players with very limited innovation creative ability it's a recipe for disaster.

We are saying the same thing.

typicalgamer:
Fisayo did more for eagles with just 45 minutes and show more potential than onyedika did over a 2 year period

But you’re not ready for that conversation

If not for The goal against Benin onyedika was never in the conversation to begin with

If not for ndidi and onyeka sudden drop of form onyedika was never likely to make match day squad

Is this not the same paperweight onyedika at afcon ?

1 good game and all of a sudden he’s the next coming of Toni Kross

Onyedika was excellent against Mozambique.

TheGoodJoe:
Throwback.

My post immediately after the AFCON loss.

Finidi made the mistake of playing both Ndidi and Onyedika in the same mid-field.The both failed to click as a double pivot.

Whenever they start together there is no clear definition of roles.

The pair did not click against Mali.

Against Mozambique a mid-field pivot of Onyeka and Onyedika clicked.

Our mid-field should have been Onyedika,Iwobi and Dele Bashiru.

or

Ndidi,Iwobi and Bashiru/Olawoyin.

faithtemisan93:
Na onyedika start o

Finidi got it wrong by starting Ndidi alongside Onyedika.The pair seems to have no clear definition of roles whenever they start together, as evident in the match against Mali.

He should have dropped one for the other, while starting Yusuf.His mid-field needed a work horse like Yusuf.

Before the match I predicted a 3-5-2, with Chukwueze and Lookman leading the attack.

Onuachu was average against SA,Boniface is unfit while Moffi didn't have the best of games from the bench.

Joebie:
On paper against SA Lookman played as a LW. But that's only on paper.
Lookman's shots were blocked for the most part, not from the wings. Most of his runs were not from the wings. He did his usual advances to creating space to shoot, but the SA defense were well drilled and disciplined enough to crowd him and block his shots. This is where we missed an imposing CF, one to stretch the opponents defense, that will create space for Lookman to thrive.

Aa ah, Joebie we watched this match together.

Sometimes he was wide crossing for Onuachu,other times he was trying to drift into the box to shoot on goal.

Both for Atalanta and even in the AFCON, his goals came as an AML,LSS and false 9.

A position just behind the main Striker not playing as an inverted winger or as a traditional winger.

He played the SA match as both a traditional winger and an inverted winger.

Iwobi likely to grab an assist today#Soar Super Eagles#.

Finidi is considering replacing Tanimu with Awaziem, though I prefer Sodiq Ismael to the both.


Sodiq Ismael is more of an attacking outlet and can get us goals and assists.

Boniface won't be starting today.He looks so unfit and favt,he also came last in dwells according to the fitness trainer of the team.

He will be coming from the bench in the second half.


He is still recovering from the injury that stopped him from starting in the Europa League final.

Replace Lookman with Ejuke(RW),replace Fisayo with Lookman,replace Iwobi with Fisayo.The base of the midfield should be Iwobi and Ndidi.

TheGoodJoe:
@EEGA

In the note of playing Lookman closer to goal, does that not affect the balance of Finidi's play, which I feel resorts in the wide forwards playing wide, to expand the defensive shape of the opposition, and create room in the center for the team to attack.

If we work with that notion, I feel Childera Ejuke should have been called up because he fits more into the wide playing role than Lookman.

Childera Ejuke can play the LWF in a 3-2-4-1.

Lookman and Iwobi takes the place of Alvarez and Debruyne while Ejuke and Chukwueze takes the place of Foden and Bernardo.
