fabyom:
The light was being tested in readiness for today's game. The Ghanaians were already done with their training, it was during their jyration time and they should have left the pitch during that period. Nevertheless, the light went off and on for less than 3/5 minutes.

I love Ghanaian song. I no go lie.

But dem must chop am today.

Same long story. No manifesto no nothing. All na I am clean, I am not corrupt, I am the only light in the darkness in Nigeria, blah blah blah.

Believe this one st your own peril.

Perhaps, he will let us know his manifesto.

Number 1 should be how he wants to restructure Nigeria. Period.

The rest no interest me without this.

However, wish you good luck.

Exactly, they are terrorists.

joelsteron:
Because while defending the wingers mostly had to help the slim midfield leaving just Osimehn. Hence the reasons I'd prefer a 352 lineup with two men upfront.

That formation is wishful thinking under AE.

If it was Rohr, it’s possible.

These are no bandits but terrorists.

codemaniacs:
moses and dennis attempts dribbles a lot and will lose the ball.. and your formation puts them as wide forwards which means they won't really drop deep to help the midfield and defense... Aribo struggles when playing as a 10 for S.E so he should be moved to the wings..

it's either

...............,,..................Uzoho...........

Aina...........Balogun........Ekong........Zaidu.......

................Etebor/Bonke...................Onyeka/Bonke..........

Dennis/Amoo................Sadiq..........................Aribo/Lookman

...........Balogun...............Ajayi.....................Ekong.......

Aina.................Etebor/Bonke...................Onyeka/Bonke...........Zaidu.......

................................Dennis/Lookman...................

................Sadiq/Dennis...................Osimhen.........


Aina and Zaidu have proven to play the wings better than our wingers so let them play the wings..
Etebor and Onyeka like going forward and will make the defense weak on a counter. Bonke is needed...

It’s clear you didn’t watch the match against Ghana because if you did, you would have noticed Moses and Dennis went back to defend. Even the commentators made a comment about Dennis saying “it’s unusual of him”

Both can attack and defend hence my reason for listing them on my list.

About Aribo struggling to play in number 10 for us, can you give instances?

Football this days is about tactics and players are expected to carry it out on the field of play. Therefore, there’s nothing like they like going forward, it’s the that will give direction on how they will play.

CODMOK:
All roads leads to MKO Stadium tomorrow

Nobi play oooo. Civil servants go happy die.

Kog45:
Good team list cos with Etebo and Onyeka am seeing better midfield...Iheanacho did not impressed me in the last match and Bonke was damn too direct and predictable.

Exactly! Our midfield became stable when the duo came on to play.

They are my favorite for the job tomorrow.

joelsteron:
You still want to isolate Victor Osimhen. Untill he break leg. Ok o

Why? Can you please explain?

Stormtrooper11:
Nice lineup. Balanced. After this match, we should scout for wingers during the build up to the world cup.

Well, nothing is wrong with scouting for better wingers though.

It’s just that our coach could be sentimental in his choice of selecting players.

andrewbaba44:
Same here ,but I need amoo/lookman in for any winger wey Dey fuckup for second half

Ighalo should play a part also

To be frank, I would have preferred Olayinka instead of Amoo because he impressed against Tunisia. Even more impressive than Chuks but I was surprised he was dropped.

It’s the same match that influenced Sadiq’s recall but Olayinka was tactically kicked out for Amoo.

My preferred starting 11

Icon79:
Omo, when did we start rating individual player performance based solely on the caliber of the football club they play for?


O pari

Then watch Zaidu in action for Porto.

maidaboi:
if Iheanacho start on Tuesday then good bye to Qatar because he will be our downfall

Na AE stubbornness go make us no fit qualify.

leathalbeast:
when i said dead midfield I didnt mean individual players, i meant as a collective team and tactics wise, i know u have good midfielders but as a group they were not match for ours

I hear.

leathalbeast:
so what makes you think that he will switch from 4-2-4 formation ? He favours strikers over midfielders and im sure he will repeat same thing on tuesday thereby ceeding the midfield to us

I don’t know but I just wanted to correct you.

If he stubborn play Iheanacho, na em sabi.

gatecrash123:
Onyeka really fu¢ked up here sha.
This was the easiest pass he could have made but e went for the harder one

He was suppose to move in and drag the defenders to either open space or cross in front of the goal post.

leathalbeast:
with that dead midfield of yours ? Hahahahaha who will handle kudus mohammed ? Daniel kofi kyere will also start

Nigeria doesn’t have a dead midfield. It’s the coach that refuses to play more midfielders.

Etebor has played in the Portuguese, Laliga, Turkish, Championship and currently in the EPL.

Frank the tank plays for Brentford in the EPL.

Aribo is Rangers best midfielder.

Bonks is in Ligue 1.

You can see how the game changed in the second half.

Icon79:
Nna, count me in the camp of anyone but Eguaveon. I can do better with that team than Egu!

Kenneth Omeruo was our best defender at the AFCON, so why leave him on the bench yesterday? Instead he selected a Center Back both of whom don’t have pace and are not good passers of the ball …. against a very fast and energetic Ghanaian team!

How can you play an archaic 424 formation when you don’t have good ball handlers and good passers in midfield?

After watching what Calvin Bassey is doing at Rangers, how can any serious coach starts Sanusi ahead of him?
Furthermore, Kelechi Iheanacho was played out of position yesterday. And it became apparent within the first few minutes that he wasn’t gonna have a good game. So the options are to either change the system or change the player. But coach Egu kept him for 90 mins playing out of position and totally ineffective.

Eguaveon must go!


O pari

So, Rangers is bigger than FC Porto, abi?

Vixlot:
Chairman Aspirants

Who are the aspirants remaining? Thanks

ChrisKels:
The only reasonable thing I saw Onyeka do was that faint which he even outdid himself by ending it with a poor decision, otherwise, dude was a real carpenter.

Definitely, you watched the back of your TV.

eddie7:
Bassey too should take a short nap....

I agree.

TheGoodJoe:

I agree with most but I disagree on Iheanacho. Among the forwards, Chukwueze, Osimhen, Simon and Iheanacho, Iheanacho was the only one working with the midfield.

He was the only one dropping deep to help build play, keep possession and give us numerical strength in the midfield. I value these over most attacking qualities because it ties with the basic principle of keeping the ball.

Also, Iheanacho is the only forward we have that can keep his head up to see a team mate in space and he also had the passing ability.

What affected Iheanacho yesterday was our poor to non existent possessive play but from that angle he did a good job.

Iheanacho was the weak link in the first half though he somehow came to the party in the second half.

TheGoodJoe:
Sound Possession Principles Bests Individual Brilliance

---

Addo showed yesterday that it is not the amount of star players you have that helps you dominate the game but the amount of players that can play to a sound tactical plan.

Yesterday, they repeatedly nullified the individual stars of the Super Eagles with sound tactical approaches.

Oga! He had the upper hand because Iheanacho was lost in the midfield battle.

cheche35:
I see many people criticising Iheanacho here, the only chance of the game was created by Iheanacho. Same at the AFCON, He scored a goal vs Egypt and also created an assist. Iheanacho may not be very fast in the eyes, but he is very effective. If any player will create a goal out of nothing it is Iheanacho. There is a reason SiaSia, Rhor and now AE all played him. My advice is for the coach to played him instead of Chukwueze, let him be drifting to the SS role while the RB provide the width. Then find a way to compensate for the RB.
But you can not afford to not play your most dangerous and clinical player

Point of correction, that was not the only chance of the game. Osimhen and Aribo missed too.
