MetalJigsaw:
Here's a solution

3-4-2-1

Omeruo. Ekong. Balogun

Tyrone Ogu. Ndidi. Idowu

.............Iwobi Mikel

................. Ighalo

One thing is sure about this tactic, and that is creativity at full blast. Iwobi and Mikel playing side by side as twin AMs right behind Ighalo... he'll never be starved of service.

As for the DMs, Ndidi can roam around the DM area while Ogu must sit.

Simy can as well take the place of Ighalo.
Even moses can take Idowus

Oasis007 what do you think?. . . . I think I like it!
Its similar to a formation I drew up in another thread albeit inverted.
I'd swap Idowu for Moses though

Oasis007:




How?!
I've told you earlier.... discipline is the Key!

Let's hope you are right.
Like I said, it seems like a very solid formation if implemented properly.

LMAO!!
Happy 2^nd 32^nd birthday!

Oasis007:




So when the Team is transiting to Attack, you expect him to sit deep like a Log of Wood?!

He's shielding the Defence at Leceister, and he's doing it excellently.

3 at the back remember.
All that would be left is Mikel, who we all know never fulfilled his potential because he was playing in a DM position he HATES/can't play.
Every team in our group has INSANELY deep attacking midfields.
If Ndidi leaves his position in a 3 man defense system we'd get slaughtered.

cicikhemy:
what the lady did is so disheartening....But also you guys turned innocent n loyal ladies into a insatiable LovePeddler....so please guys keep your lips shut n stop ranting nonsense about us

Your stereotypical statement is utterly stupid! It passes you off as a pseudo-demented neanderthal. lacking morals and any form of virtue.
I mean it's unnatural for a human to be this redundantly stupid.
I wouldn't reply to anything you say, so don't bother.

Oasis007:




Watch him closely?! LOL!
Maybe you need to watch his Clips at Leicester City, then you gonna understand better.

Been watching him play even before Leicester.
He likes has a habit of going forward, to get in range for a shot.
Did the same mistake against Atleti in the Europe league quarter finals.

Oasis007:




Discipline..... he's a professional, thus expected to play to Instructions.

You obviously haven't watched him closely.... Dude gets carried away.

This thing can be result of somebodies swear o....
Anyways R.I.P

Oasis007:


Guess our Eyes are clear now....... that Iwobi is a monumental Waste on the Wing?! Our problem is very simple to solve;

A - Play 3 - 4 - 1 - 2 Formation.

B - start Ebuehi as a RWB not Shehu

C - Play Moses as LWB, I've seen him played there at Chelsea more than once.

D - play a Pivot of Ndidi and Mikel as DMs - Ndidi doing the Tackles and Interceptions while Mikel plays as a deep-lying Playmaker.

E - Play Iwobi as a No. 10.

F - Pair Ighalo and Iheanacho upfront - Ighalo will play more inside the Box, while Iheanacho plays as SS, combining with Iwobi to dig out positive Results.

G - I prefer Trio of Omeruo, Balogun and Ekong as CBs in a 3 at the back Formation. I do not trust Ogu with the CB Responsibilities.

I like this, but considering the fact that Ndidi likes to bomb forward, how do we get him to sit deep?

Super Eagles ..... Win World Cup?

E pain am.

Eya try again.

Friendlies are meant to help analyze the teams individual and collective performances, as well as to take vital stats.
From all our friendly matches, I have gathered some information I believe are crucial to the team.

1, The Super Eagles do not start well, and take time to get into the game: With that said, I believe the coach should focus on stopping his team from conceding early goals. So as to avoid a situation where the SE are goals behind in the game already, before the players blend into the game tempo and rhythm.

2, We are lacking cohesion or confidence in central defense: The obvious culprit here is Balogun, as he seems a bit shaky or lacks fitness. Maybe he is just avoiding injuries prior to the commencement of the WC, we will see.

3, We can't play 4-3-3: Our team lacks the quality to play 4-3-3. This formation requires fast wingbacks and a VERY intelligent DM to pull of successfully, and effectively as you would be playing with a CAM (Iniesta-esque) and a deep lying CM. If we opt for this, then our CAM would be Iwobi, Mikel as CM and Ndidi as DM ( Not his best position as his preferred role is being a box to box). This still leaves us lacking at the leftback position. IMO Tyronne has solidified his position as the RB but the LB na WAHALA O!

4, Uzoho is improving: I'd say Uzoho has shown signs of being a decent keeper, especially in pointblank positions, but he needs better defensive covering. I'd say his ability to take out aerial balls is a plus, along side his wide frame which came in handy in that save that could have easily been the second goal.

5, Ahmed Musa SHOULD start!: We are lacking pace and urgency. Moses, can provide pace, but his knack for dribbling, slows the game down, hence losing the urgency I speak about. I believe Moses and Musa on either wings should work.

6, Ighalo is not mobile enough to be a lone striker: Probably it's due to age, but Ighalo has lost his mobility, sense of palcement and is BADLY lacking in linkup play! Maybe we should play Iheanacho/Iwobi as a false 9 or try Simi Nwankwo as the classic lone striker.

7, We still don't have a left back: Idowu is neither, offensively nor defensively sound. He also lacks football intelligence. Elderson is just as bad as Idowu.

I am disappointed, but we can still patch up and hope for a DECENT outing at best.

oluwaahmed:


So true, will try not to reason like ur dad again.

If my dad reasoned like that, and yet was able to produce someone as eloquent and thoughtful as myself.
One can only wonder what your dad is like.... Probably a neanderthal.

Idowu is a waste!

prinsam30:



no is more like 4231

LMAO!
Bro we are playing 4-3-3

Hence Mikel playing as a CAM instead of a CM.
Notice how Mikel is sometimes ahead of Iwobi?
Thats because Iwobi is playing as winger.

MrCuteking:
Lessons leant

1. Every player wants to dribble instead of pass the ball

2. They are completely disorganized

3. They show apathy in dead ball situations

4. Only a few of them played in their respective positions.

5. We have finally being exposed with weak defence, midfield and goal keeper.

6. No team spirit nor team work.

7. We picked the wrong coach.

8. They played like cowards.

9. They lack accuracy

10. They are proud.

11. The man with the ball can’t even locate his nearest teammate.

12. They don’t rely on Moses but he thinks they do.

13. Mikel is confused and playing defensive midfield instead of playing behind the striker.

14. Ighalo is fvcked

15. Shehu is not in his peak at the moment, Ebuehi is more treatning along that flank.

16. Iceland will use this opportunity to beat us with dead balls.

17. No way, we are not ready for the world cup.

Your Analysis are completely wrong. I'd wait till the end of the match to write mine.
Not bashing you, but I am not sure some of you actually understand football tactically.

prinsam30:



infact wetin dey pain me pass na the formation wey this manager dey use, u can't keep igaloh at the front alone and expect goals, we need a 433 formation

What do you think we are playing?
We are already playing 4-3-3

Is Taribo sure he saw the spirit of 94 Eagles in camp abi the ghost?
I know see any similarities here o. Abi was I too young then?

Alex80s:
Idowu, Uzoho and Onazi has no business in that team. Mikel should be coming from the bench.

LMAO! You are obviously listening to the radio.
Mikel and Uzoho have been our stand out players.

oluwaahmed:
Ever since uzoho started keeping for us, we hardly win any match.

You dey reason like domesticated baboon.
So keeper go help you score goal?

Brian Idowu oooooo!!!

Abeg remove Balogun.
Just because he be Oyibo, no mean say him handsome.
Mikel should be there also.
BTW, Man no dey fine, man no dey ugly.
Who handsome help?

Birds of a feather.
Remaining Denrele and Bobrisky .

Neddyogu:

Giovanotto:
Nigerian girls with their empty hollow heads.... Correct that stupid mistake, you dullard!

Pretty sure it was a typo.

This is wrong!
There is no OROBO on the list!

Make them search them o. Shey dem no carry bomb?
