Ekong no do rubbish o

Give Lookman

Nice. Peseiro you try!!!!

Ok nice Yusuf and Chuks in. Simon is too predictable.

Ajayi no fit pass ball ni

We need to be unpredictable. They are countering our game so far. Dig into the reserves and switch things up or pass a different instruction. Jpes is up to you.

what some people are failing to understand is that there is a coach in the opposing team who has prepared hard to neutralize our style.. it's down to a war between both coaches here. We are playing mostly Sundowns players.. we have the players, it's down to the coach.

Curtisaxel17:
Team "One leg of Osimhen is better than a healthy Moffi", how market?

Osimhen isn't able to press as usual, creating problems for the coach. But God forbid we allow a fully fit proven striker on the bench to play.

Even from a wheelchair, Osimhen must play.

This is another real test for Peseiro after Angola.. I want to see how he can switch things tactically to go ahead not necessarily to hold.

it's all a matter of how you can tweak things in the run of play. I see SA have switch up play later on in the half. Sending lopping passes upfront and relying on the speed of their forwards. Our defense have been okay, But so far SA has threatened more and Nwabali responded well.

it's all down to Peseiro.. Keep to the same script or fight differently to go ahead?

Nwabali na saviour

Omeruo in for LCB
Bassey move to LWB
Aina remain as RWB

The above should have been the changes in Zaidu’s absence and we would have an even stronger line up.

How many caps has he?

Marjoribanks:
Moffi started against Zim away no single shot at goal!

The matter weak me. Because Osimhen is very food, dem come dey talk like Moffi dey chop bench for France. Somebody who is known to explode in big games.

zicky:
Yea you are right, I was just irritated with his statement that kc and moffi cannot score in this setup like are they amateur players

@bolded partially true because the situations prior to the Angola match was different. Anyways you have finally come close to what I’ve been saying. .

Mujtahida:
I read somewhere that he actually tried this set up in our friendly against Mexico. He's been spot on in his substitutions but for the Angolan match. Then again even the players didn't want to come out.

You don fall ur own hand. Just because u blind no mean say I no respond. 😂

Mujtahida:
Shebi you no see banku boys analysis wey I tag you. If na to dey say liar now you for don respond.

Osimhen may just save the best for last. It’s a question of converting his chances not getting past the defenders. He will definitely get chances against SA. I expect to see him score.

If Osimhen had scored 3 our 6 big chances, he’d have 4 goals now. So Osimhen could excel in this set up. He’s just missed some chances.

Likewise Moffi. All this set up talk. In a 3-4-3 you have a point man. Moffi has played in a variety of formations in Nice. As a RF/RW in a 4-3-3. As a CF in a 4-3-3 and even as a CF in a 3-4-3 (where he also scored). See below their game vs Lyon

zicky:
Uncle kc and Moffi can't score in this setup, how many has Osimhen scored in this setup that was made just for him. Bringing up R16 with a different coach and Uzoho abi maduka in goal to buttress your point. I'll say it again God forbid but if Osimhen can't play our next match Nigeria will not lose. You forget Moses and lookman contribute as much as Osimhen in this so called setup you keep calling. You don't even see how Bassey, aina and ekong have been key in this setup, but what you keep saying is if Osimhen don't play Nigeria will lose because he's Messi abi Ronaldo (R7 even sit on the bench for Portugal)

I will never start Osimhen in bench in a crucial knock out game. But in a final group game when all looks good, yes. Then bring him on in the second half.

Good analysis.

in summary
1. Peseiro found this setup after injury to Ndidi and later Yusuf. He had to deploy Iwobi to a more defensive role
2. The team is well drilled to defend as
a unit and occupy spaces as well as transition to attack quickly.

My issue with Peseiro remains making tactical changes not just because he is forced to but to switch up play either to kill the game or counter when the opponent has made changes and are attempting to exploit weak areas in the team. Angola exposed Peseiro in this.

Since the AFCON started and until the Angola game I’ve not criticized Peseiro. Even after our first game vs EG which ended in a draw, I praised the team.

Mujtahida:
Cool down my man. I no dey dig post. I no even sabi do am. I say you predict. If you no predict, tell me. Person dey make mistake. But you just want peg am on me say I lie. Oya I lie. Use am fry akara chop😜

Oya leave talk. Enjoy this tactical analysis from banku boys.

Oga u no get time to dig post why u come dey talk wetin u no see for this thread? No be lie be that?

I no feel any kind of way about “I told you so”, because I make my positions clear with points.

Mujtahida:
Go jare, see as you dey talk like woman. Dig your post? Say you be who and to prove what? Have you ever seen me dig any body's post on this forum? If I was wrong in what I said, you point it out. Simple. No need for this crassness about lies like I tell lies about you on a regular basis. The 'I told you so' thing cut you. Sorry. No vex.

It's best I end this conversation here cos I tried making you see with the emoji in my last post that this is lighthearted talk but the thing wey dey chook you pass this football yarn. So continue with your saltiness. Cheers

Leave the guy. No be uproar make us dey see Nwabali for post so.

zicky:
You forget that Sadiq inclusion generated debate among fans

The purpose of the bench is to enable u switch up things when necessary. If you have only one set up as a coach, then you are damn rigid. If our team can’t perform without Osimhen (as you are suggesting) then the problem is the coach. Because anything can happen to any player any given time.

EEGA:
We should forget the trophy if anything happens to VO9.

These your other strikers can't play under this system.

Iwobi plays a defensive role(DLP), in this set up.

You will need to change our formation and tactics if you are to start other strikers.

Other Strikers will not be able to score against SA in this current set-up, not forgetting the game against SA in Uyo where Iheanacho started and we were beaten 2-0.

Morocco could not even score this SA team.

You expect Moffi or Iheanacho who will be needing a totally different set-up, with about 2 creative midfielders to be able to score to start.

These other Strikers are not anywhere close to Osimhen.They won't even be able to give an "A" game in this set up.

People who tell lies are even worse than the “I told u so” crew. What’s taking you long to dig my post?

Mod
My predictions have been made since before Angola.
🇦🇴 .

Mujtahida:
No be only cook, na done. You predict abi you no predict? No be you be predictor?

Oya predict our match tomorrow for me 😜😜

I’m judging his performance. That’s all. I speak on the areas he is doing well, and also where he is failing. Is that simple.

Mod
And let me correct you, I’ve been on his case when he was even given the job 😂

dijon:
You have a very wicked agenda against the coach. You have been on his case from the world cup qualifying and till this moment you have not desist from your subtle jabs.
Brother, the train has left the train station since oooo...

I’m an objective fan. Yes I’m a FAN.. I want us to win the AFCON and get better as a squad to challenge for the highest prize. I don’t praise mediocrity.

dijon:
Joebie no 1 enemy masquerading like a true fan.

Basco check my opinions on Sadiq on this thread. It’s all on record.

BascoVanVeli:
This is unfair. U don't have to do Sadiq like that.

Based on JPes? You sef no fit look players judge for yourself? Even diff coaches have their preferences. Yeye logic.

mostob:
You seem to forget that Onuachu is in Ivory coast due to injury Sadiq sustained before the tourney. I think you have your answer already

Haha.. u don cook lies abi?

Mujtahida:
Na you know oo. Victory. That's all that matters. Even if we no win. We don try. Na first round exit you predict. We have gone over and beyond.

I hope so. We should also say Nwabali is out lol.

Marjoribanks:
Nothing is wrong with Osimhen!
All na psychology warfare!

The same thing Tunisia did to us at the last AFCON only to see their best players in the starting 11.

We will beat South Africa with KC as CF sef

talk2docee:
So is it at this stage... The coach should be making 'try and error'? what are friendly matches and group matches meant for?
Osimhen is not injured, you want to bring in Moffi? All because he has not scored more goals as a striker? He contributed to all the goals scored in this tournament! Abeg make una leave that guy! He remains a threat to opposing teams...

I repeat if Osimhen does not start that match against South Africa... Then let's forget finals!

Me i talk defects every time as much as I celebrate success. Come beat me na lol

And if/when we win the AFCON I hope say e go help the naira lol.

Mujtahida:
Okocha was asked by Arisetv correspondent that of all the AFCON we have won plus this one(if we win it), which is the most important.

Without hesitation Okocha said this one because we need it now as a nation. Na why all talk about JPes defect no bother me oo. You see me talk about sweet football again? Naaa, make we just win. Naija needs it. Our nation needs some joy. We can talk defects later

When you called out Rohr early it was for the purpose of I told u so abi? Na u sabi read others intention abi? Abi don’t I still also stand the risk of someone calling me out that I was saying rubbish? It goes either way. The likes of Blueif, gustav etc are getting their own trashing now. Even some are still trying to find quotes to blast me. So who is now right or wrong? Anyone can also be guilty of “I told you so”. Why not just focus on the points made instead of the labeling? Attack the points. If I say Jpes is clueless , I will list my reasons. Counter the my points or leave it at that.

Mujtahida:
I started calling out Rohr just immediately before the WC 2018. I too, I have the eye and mind to think objectively and critically. All I'm saying is that make we win. That's my concern. Any complaints that is about pointing out present defects in this tournament for the purpose of saying - in the future - I told you so, no be am for me. There's a time for everything. Tournaments are celebratory events when your team wins. So you celebrate.

Naija go win match, you no fit enjoy am because you want to be objective and critical. Oho na suffer be that oo cos when we win, you complain, when we lose you complain. Double wahala for complainant. When you go enjoy na?

What you guys seem to want is that kind of unrealistic expectation where SE dominates like how we spank Cameroun 4-0.

Jpes don hack this thing. I knack you one zero. I prevent you from scoring. I win. Whether I sub Osimhen, or not, play Moffi or not. I don win.
