Summary of 3-5-2

90 min against Argentina GA 2,... GF 4

45 min against England GA 0,.... GF 1

90 min against Czech Republic 1 GA,..... 0 GF

90 min against Iceland 0 GA,..... Gf 2

____________________________________________

TOTAL: In 315 minutes of 3-5-2 formation, we Scored 7 goals and Conceded 3 goals


An average of 1 goal in every 45 minutes



In summary... Rohr should stick to 3-5-2 henceforth

your stat is flawed bro. Never have we played 3-5-2 for 90mins except today. Here it is

ARG 0 - 3 NIG (45mins)

ENG 0 - 1 NIG (45)

CZK 0 - 0 NIG (45)

NIG 2 - 0 ISL (90)

We've played a total of 225 mins with 3-5-2 scoring 6 and conceding zero in the process. We now average 1.2goals in 45 minutes. Very solid Stat this formation got

Our performance today in one word - awe inspiring!

Full of energy. We saw the passion missing in the croatia game. They were hard to break down in the first half but we showed resilience and it paid off in the second half. The sweet string of passes exchanged and the confidence they exuded epitomized brilliance.

We shift our focus to Argentina. This is a confidence boost we've been praying for and now we have it. Even if we're to bow out, we do so with our heads held high. I'm impressed.

Could this be our arrangement

From Kaliningrad to Volgograd.

Like for super eagles, share for iceland

Meliforme:
Simy is the best CF we have now, and if Rohr ever starts him, it will be crystal clear.

how many matches have you watched Simy play?

tbaba1234:
this looks like the starting formation tomorrow. Either 3:5:2 or 3:4:3

...............Uzoho

......Balogun-...... Ekong....... Elderson

Ebuehi.... Onazi....... Etebo.......... Victor Moses

....................Mikel

..................Simy .... Ighalo.........


Or


...................Uzoho

......Balogun-...... Ekong....... Elderson

Ebuehi..................Onazi....... ......Etebo..........

............................Mikel

.....Ighalo.......Simy .... Victor Moses.........

Rohr wants to prove to mourinho that Mikel is a good attacking midfielder.

With this formation, I don't see us scoring much. We might just score one and defend till the end or concede one and be on our way back. Volgograd is very close to Russia international Airport. That might mean something to you

fabyom:
Iceland just need a win against us tomorrow and they are home and dry cos their last match will be against already qualified Croatia. Also Argentina we see us as beatable and can still qualify. Everyone still in the game.
If we scale through this group stage obstacle. We will get to the Semi final.

you beat me to this. Wanted saying something not far from your submission. If we manage to scale through, we'd be eliminated at the quarters or semis

Ya'll be shouting we beat Iceland very well like it's a pact we signed pre world cup. Reality is: looking at the ARG - CRO result, Nigeria knows by winning Iceland, they already have a leg in the round of 16. Iceland pretty likely see it the same way. It's going to be a closely contested affair. You guys should rejoice if we beat them by a goal to nil.

My 3 likely predictions

NIG 0 - 0 ISL
NIG 1 - 0 ISL
NIG 0 - 1 ISL

Croatia punishes you for being erroneous

tbaba1234:
Very beatable, If Nigeria beats Iceland, I think we can beat them.

Toylove:
Argentina is very very beatable

I'm afraid our boys will show them too much respect. See how Croatia is making Argentina look average. We'll make them look like Barcelona.

Croatia isn't as bad as we thought. They've maintained balance so far.

Argentina is crap

If Iceland guys are allowed to have sex and Nigerians are barred from eating pepper soup and having sex, does it mean that the prayer they prayed before the match against Croatia is about to manifest?

andrew444:
What else can I say ? He is the one in charge so I cannot say more than that.

Mind you he qualified us for the World Cup with a 4-3-3 and it will be hard for him to change it most coaches are stubborn.

Concerning the 3-5-2 so because him use am win Argentina una still dey live with that grace abi ?

Which other team him use 3-5-2 win ?

If him use 3-5-2 come loose una go still look for wetin to talk.

with the 3 5 2, we've been able to play 135minutes of football, scoring 4 goals and conceding ZERO. averaging 1.3goals every 45mins. I hope I've been able to convince you that 3-5-2 is the way to go. Now hop into the train and join us in the clamor.

soetanoreoluwa:
442 formation... Surprise surprise...


Heart racing

Lol. This is a joke right? If this is our legitimate starting line up, then come 4pm on Friday, I'd start preparing beans other than witnessing another heart break. Onazi and Echiejile of all people? Ighalo too? I comment my reserve

Beauriful

Bolowolowo:
Fellow Eagalians, tomorrow, Argentina will face Croatia. What result can we realistically hope for. An Argentian win?

I'd prefer Croatia to win so that even if we win Iceland and draw Argentina(or vice versa), we'd be through

Everybody now dey tuck in polo. Davido don teach us new style.

somehow:
Even if Rohr uses 3:5:2 and end up using Musa, how is it federal character?

It wasn't federal character when Rohr used Iwobi as a winger in a 4:2:3:1 while benching Musa a winger?

Brotherman say something else.

Iwobi was used because he's the most creative attacker we have currently. Optimizing his strength is what we clamor for and not repeating same mistake all over. Talk about fitting square peg into a round hole.

AIG07:
You can all see now.

I do check moniker before I quote them.

I knew you made that comment on a presumptive basis that Rohr intends switching to 3-5-2 formation.

Exactly Sir. How some people equate that to being tribalistic is mind boggling.

Kog45:
Pls what do you mean by federal character?are you saying Musa is not good enough.

I think with Iwobi performance as a winger against Croatia,Musa deserve to start against Iceland if formation permit.

I'm not looking at Iwobi as a winger but rather as an AM in a 3-5-2 formation. Musa can't play that role unless of course Rohr has got some other tactics up his sleeves. I'd keep my fingers crossed until Friday when the official line up must have been laid bare.

At least it's veritable. Unlike Nigeria. Funny how that incident has been swept under the carpet.

AIG07:
Tribalism and Nepotism no go kill us for this country. Anything we wan we must use quota system share am... So much for an Independent nation. I blame the founding fathers.

It is time we adopt this slogan "the best have it" so that we can progress as a nation.


It is still one of the reasons I don't like local coaches handling our national teams. Their level of biasness is out of this world

forgiveness:
What is federal character in starting Musa?

Is Musa a bad player?

How many wingers do you have in your team?

If Musa is one of the 3 wingers in the team and one of the winger who did not live up to expectation is dropped for Musa, is it not a normal thing to do?

Victor Moses, Iwobi and Musa are thes three wingers Rohr is used to, and since Iwobi was not effective enough, it will be a wise decision to drop him and start Musa.

It is a very simple straight forward thing. So, wetin be quota system for dis one.

Abi, make we use Iwobi wey we know say em no dey do well for the wing come take play Iceland again?

I made my post with the mindset Rohr would be playing 3-5-2. More so Musa's performance against Croatia was abysmal. That selection doesn't conform to what I perceive would be a weapon of mass destruction against Iceland hence my burst out. No tribalistic undertone whatsoever.

ChrisKels:
If this news is anything to go by, then e dun be for us.

I just pray it is owngoal being owngoal, otherwise...

dropping shehu and starting Musa? We are not ready for any world cup. We have to wait for another four years. L

adamushaibu:
Why?

he can't nod, he can't run, he can't even complete an accurate pass

Egyptian No 9 is so useless

Egyptian No 9 is so useless

Australia is Eurasia

chimzyblack:
I LOVE IT.
But
1.I will prefare Moses to play the left wing back, he has speed loves to run with the ball and is a treat going forward and can also recover faster than Idowu when he loses the ball.
2.Etebo is needed in that midfield to add steel to it, so I will play a trio of Etebo-Mikel-Ndidi along side Moses and Ebuehi as the two wing backs.
3. IWOBI will play along side Iheanacho in a false Nine system.

We can beat any team with this formation if the boys are determined and bullish in their approach

UZOHO
OMERUO-BALOGUN-EKONG

EBUEHI-NDIDI-MIKEL-ETEBO-MOSES

IWOBI-IHEANACHO

endorsed. If we play this formation, even if Iceland wipe me 5 nil, I will not complain.

If Marcus's prediction is anything to go by, it means Argentina will win Croatia and we'll defeat Iceland by a wide goal margin. Let's say 3 nil. Then come 26th, it'll be all square in our match against Argentina and all square in Croatia against Iceland.

The table will be

Argentina - 5
Nigeria - 4
Croatia - 4
Iceland - 2

We'll qualify by goal advantage.



We need goals against Iceland. Play me the formation that put 4 past Argentina, even if we lose, I won't be bitter. At least we exhausted our options.

realpoacher:
Is it just me or is anyone else noticing that almost all teams so far at this world cup are playing 4-2-3-1 formation


Abi Fifa instructed them to play that formation strictly ni?

Iceland played 3-5-2

AIG07:
This calls for concern

does that mean...
