Papi85:
if he is better than the starters Chelle would have played him

Him not playing any game signifies that those that played are better than him

Blueelf:
I remember it happening to Nwakaeme that year and bro sqore not to answer callus again

Bro was talking week in and week out for his club but wasn't getting a look in. Same guy has a statue now in Turkey

But our then coach Eohe felt he wasn't good enough and Ighalo was better

What fo I know?

TheSuperNerd:
He was seen playing deeper to avoid the Moroccan press in his original position. Onyedika could be faulted for many things but is it Onyedika's fault that Iwobi could not handle the press when Onye gave him the ball??

Did you not see how Ndidi operated?? You think Ndidi took up distribution to the final third all on his own? No, most of his went through Iwobi. Ndidi majorly fed Iwobi... this is what Onyedika was doing.

Iwobi was the reason for 2 dangerous posession turnovers for the moroccans in that first half alone. A thrid one came through again later in the game. because of those turnovers in the first half, Iwobi had to leave that choked zone and withdraw to where he would not be triple or double marked much.

This is simple as day but you just want to pin it all on Onyedika when both lads lost nearly the same amount of duels today and even possession.

Spainever:
Our system and pattern were countered by the Moroccan coach ,our coach didn't have alternative . He has tried let him continue the job he needs to work on having tactical changes levels. The strength of the Moroccan is midfielders,if we came with Plan the game would have change

TheSuperNerd:
Onyedika was already doing that and his main receiver, Iwobi was always swamped. So he withdrew. This is also simple.

You cannot blame Onyedika without also pointing out Iwobi's struggles today which resulted in us not dominating the middle.

Jidgbo football wey Morocco dey play against our players yet ref blew against us when it was obvious Moroccans fouled.

I never see this kind of poor officiating in my life. Ghanian ref showed bias towards us. Very poor officiating.

Dem suppose get 5 yellows.

TheSuperNerd:
Not true. Iwobi dropped deep to escape the Moroccan press in his normal deep LCM role. Iwobi was swamped anytime he got the ball and lost it on few occasions in the first half which made him withdraw even deeper and at a point was seen playing from the LCB role to try make plays.

TheSuperNerd:
Very good Sherlock. I guess you also did not see how the moroccan midfield press chased Iwobi way deep. Poor indeed.

Dont worry he is out of the game and we still dont have that dominance so you are just spilling to find a fall guy.

Good morning GuyZ

Amen +1today , Happy birthday 🎂🎂🎂 to me 💕💕💕💃💃💃💃🎉🎉🎉

TheGoodJoe:
In one of the recent seasons of Manchester City, John Stones repeatedly drifted into the midfield to support build up play.

His starting position as a center back, is not as important as him understanding when to drift into midfield and pull back.

I hope this elaborates this.

TheGoodJoe:
Forget about my understanding. Make your position.

TheGoodJoe:
Your the one that wants to contradict. So my understanding is not in the context. Make your point and then I will concur or disagree.

Just keep in mind I have my understanding and philosophy of it.

So push on.

TheGoodJoe:
The point is simple.

Formations is not that important.

If players interpret when to attack and defend and do it very well. There will not be any problem.

Meaning Finidi spends more time in players understanding how to interpret when to attack than defend. The formation set up is not as important as interpreting when to attack and defend.

There is nothing wrong in what Finidi said. He is 100% right.

Give a source that contradicts his point.

TheGoodJoe:
Finidi also did not say formation does not matter.

Finito.

Goke7:
wow be like e don sign up!

owbabs:
What if Eric Chelle leaves for Tunisia after AFCON and then the FIFA verdict favors Nigeria over Congo?

TheGoodJoe:
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola insists that formations “are nothing more than phone numbers”.

The implication is that his players move from their positions so much that the stated formation they start in does not in fact matter. The players are so rarely in that shape that there is barely any need to name the formation.

The point is simple.

TheGoodJoe:
Why Formation Alone Doesn’t Win Matches

Many teams use the same formation yet play very differently.

That’s because what matters more is:
Player quality
Roles and instructions
Tactics in possession and out of possession
Team chemistry and understanding
Game management

This is exactly from your post and fully supports Finidi. So what is the point of posting what supports Finidi's point and try to argue against it.

Finidi is 100% right.

semid4lyfe:
I prefer Chelle switch the personnel. Onyeka should play Ndidi's role. Onyedika should play Onyeka's former role.

Emmy450:
Agreed, those guys showed us way too much respect, imagine not having a shot at goal for about 80mins, and no shot on target for the whole game, i believe morrocco will be the true test for us, and if not, Senegal would be the true test. .

jihday:
In case you missed the game manage this highlight before basco posts the full highlight
