Yewande should man(abi woman) the post against Japan. I'm not sure she has ever play a minute for us.

Spy360:
Playing 4-4-2 is possible and we have the available materials though at a cost.

The formation will require a sitting DM not the CM that will roam. It will also require a playmaker who can pick up the ball from deep and tight positions and still create chances. The wingers should not be inverted as they will be part of the midfield and not attack unlike the 4-3-3.

................ Jesus..... Nketiah...............
Saka............. Odegaard........ Martinelli
......................... Partey..........................
Zinchen.. Gabriel.... Saliba...... Tomi
...................... Ramsdale......................

This is an excellent attacking formation if the players (especially the wingers) can adapt to. It will allow for stronger pressing and massive defending without the ball, while totally dominating the opponent with the ball.

During attacking phase, Partey can drop into the CD while the FBs push higher to create an overload in the final third. During defending phase, Odegaard drops deeper to create a new line of defense, a double pivot with Partey.

Jesus can also drop deeper into midfield to hold the ball during transitions. Something he is already good at. He or Nketiah can take on the two opposite CBs and try to split them, drag them away from each other or the FBs.

The key to this formation will be Odegaard and Partey, can they be mobile enough to cover more grounds? Can the two of them be able to dominate a midfield in which they will be outnumbered?

Fine lineup but I don't think Odegaard can play that role. When I was thinking on who best can partner Partey in that role, my mind went to Diaby. Abou Diaby !!!

Injury is a b*tch. Sambi is another person who I think can also function in the role but he is too lightweight. Xhaka might be a perfect match though.

If Barca win UCL with Lewandoski, does that mean Lewa is >>>>>>>> Messi

As I read this thing, small headache just catch me.

Make una mind wetin una go post in the name of trolling.

Jodera:

Thank you

andrewbaba44:
Since there will be no epl this weekend due to the death of the queen

I urge some of you guys to watch Laliga and enjoy some good football with quality skills and techniques and not just vibes and Insha allah in the epl

I will only miss pep mancity ,Haaland and iwobi this weekend from the epl this weekend and nothing much .

no EPL for probably the next 3 weeks. Till international break.

When Barca dey play sef

3 weeks without EPL....

This is not good at all

Jodera

Please modify the last post you quoted me on... I'll do the same on my side too
I typed it with frustration and we don't know what may happen in Future.
You grab?

Kog45:
Arsenal signing Iwobi back,i doubt,better for him to move to another top club.Yes Osimehn likely to move after this season.... Chuckwueze deserved better club and possibly Liverpool but I don't see him as direct replacement for Sallah.

Yea, it is unlikely for Iwobi to be back at Arsenal. Chelsea is another team I think should go for him... No be all these catamaran man and Odumeje Dem pack for Midfield

Jodera:
Lol, unfortunately custom is custom. Though it hasn't been confirmed yet but all news is pointing to that direction.

If there is no match this weekend, EPL will probably resume after international break because there won't be match next week too. Also, will they stop the English teams from playing UCL during the midweek?

jpmoriarti:
He granted an interview to Sports the other day, Dembele. One thing that stood out for me was where he said that at this stage, talent is not enough to succeed. He said he didn't know this before but now he does after everything he went through.

You could see he is now more focused and committed. Of course, injuries are part of the game but he now takes care of himself way more and the results are there for all to see.

Add to the fact that there is now a sweetheart who will help with massage after a very long day on the pitch.

Jodera:
due to the death of the Queen, there might not be match this weekend so guys will rest this week. Hopefully, Xhaka will be available next match

They should not cancel any match abeg.... With the World cup coming up,the schedule is jam-packed already.

May the soul of her highness rest in peace. Even if teams have to observe a 1 hour silence, they should. The matches must go on.

emmaodet:
Yes. There are many players with positioning skills like Van Nistelrooy and filipo inzaghi.

Yea...they position so well and make goalscoring look easy to the extent that every goals they score look like a tap-in

Pidginwhisper:
I just dey watch Sadiq since. Make i no talk sha

Abeg update us

BascoVanVeli:
Even Phil Foden had Halaand open and scored his goal

This is a different scenario Oga Basco. Foden had the ball on his strong foot and the keeper was far off. Moreso, he was kinda unmarked.

However, I got your point. If Osimehn keep doing the 'good guy' and his goal tally doesn't seem impressive at the end, the fans will come for him.

fabyom:
Chukweze, Oshimen and Iwobi moving to top clubs next season. Bookmark this tweet!

I really wish to have Iwobi back at Arsenal. Osimehn will likely join Manchester United. As for Chuks, maybe Liverpool if Salah departs.

Imagine bringing Patino and Azeez on to close the game. We sent both on loan and now we don't have another CM apart from Xhaka and Lokonga.

Heard Xhaka got injured during the match and he would still play on Sunday o...not against anyhow player but against a rejuvenated Iwobi... Wetin Arteta and Edu dey smoke sef

Shegzdave:
Which kain injury smith Rowe carry during warm up again?

I tire o
Maybe he hit the bed post with his knee when playing the midnight game.

Jodera:
Lol, ESR got injured during the warm up in man u game

Opportunity to give Martinelli a rest but he's not available

What a useless injury. Dem suppose dey flog some players for getting injured unnecessarily.

emmaodet:
That Haaland is more or less a box 18/tap-in player. Mpabe is far more deadly than him likewise lewy.
If you look at the type of goals mpabe and lewy scores even outside box 18, you will know these are dangerous 9s.

Haaland's positioning though.... Bro just give it to Haaland...he scored so much goal because he is always at the right place at the right time.

Jodera:
just seeing this now sef.

Cedric and Nketiah are injured.
We need to rest Xhaka and Sambi also.

It'll be surprising to see who starts tomorrow las las

Shey dem use injury swear for these guys ni

How many minutes have both played that they're injured?

Jodera:
Lol, nobody wey Arteta no dey vex then oo

Even me sef tire for am...I wanted him sack that time.
The same man I once argued will be better than zidane...

FirstbornWds:

FirstbornWds:
Lmao... It's fake though. But for the sake of trolling... We go take am

I thought as much. There are just a few players who fit try such.

JayromWrites:
Agenda Must agend.

It's getting stale already. A lot of pages were wasted on this Nwakali talk...make we move on and talk better things.

Ladies and gentlemen..

Kounde is a comrade

PurpleHouse:
Of all the players we have around the world, na Nwankali una wan dey hype. Someone that has wasted his youthfulness being average.

Na thunder go fire every hypeman here trying to force Nwakali on the super eagles

Oga rest...let everybody hype whosoever they like. You too should hype your own player...it's a free world.

isan:
Africa still have a long way to go in women football ..... Just imagine Senegal vs Spain, Germany or england

Chai....they would rnd the match by 60th minute bro

TBH... I'm a bit glad we lost as we may get carried away with the wins...

Shey na African champion Dem dey wallop like this

FirstbornWds:
Can anybody explain why we don't have the likes of Balde and Gavi in this UCL squad?

Check the footnote now.
