Kog45: You nailed it Sir. With all his perceived shortcomings, Keshi towers head and shoulders above Rohr. It's really saddening when we disrespect our own legends, especially after their demise. If Keshi was White, I strongly believe he will be talked about differently now. The WCQ in March is going to be extremely nervy. Fingers crossed. 6 Likes |

Kog45: I do not think Ighalo will come in. If we play Ighalo, it will mean abandoning our system. Awoniyi, Sadiq, Osimhen offer a lot of running up front. I doubt Ighalo can offer that. The goalkeeper remains an issue but also the tactical team needs to work on Ndidi not committing too much to the offensive side. Any defensive contribution should come from the wide areas. 2 Likes |

Kog45: I expect a pairing of Osimhen and Iheanacho. However, Iheanacho will need to do more dropping deep than he did at the world cup. He needs to learn how to own the central offense area. Despite finishing, Iheanacho is also a good passer. However, we can not deny the intensity Iwobi brought before the red card. If we go with a three-man midfield, I tip Iwobi to take the ten role. We frightened teams at the AFCON and I think this will make the bedrock of the strategy Ghana will adopt. They will keep it tight at the back and hit us hard and fast with counters. We need to close up spaces to prevent surprises. Most important thing is us saving Ndidi's energy by restricting his offensive plays and saving it to help break down attacks. |

Kog45: I expect such fight too but why go in fighting the same way they do. We should play to our strength. They will have a compact defensive block. We need to spread it out and disorganize them. If we play a fighter with little speed, we will play to their strength. We need to keep the ball wide and have a striker running around their block to break it. What about if we get an early goal? They will need to break the block, and with runners, we can exploit their space. I actually see Sadiq as a better target man in this scenario but I think we should go with a high-pressing strategy. Osimhen/Nacho or Osimhen/Iheanacho. Even if they want to lunge long balls, we should press them hard to prevent accuracy. |

Kog45: Osimhen should be first striker then gidigbo ighalo looks like he still have something to offer more than Sadiq and awoniyi for now ,I just have to say this despite the likeness I have for awo bobo ,onuachu is another man in the picture but should be used as a super sub when things doesn’t go well |

Kog45: This formation is problematic! Only 2 of Etebo, Aribo and Iheanacho is needed. We need an additional winger to bring stability. Olayinka/Chuz/Ejuke should start! Etebo shouldn't be starting. He hasn't play a lot of football in the last month. |

Kog45:Didn't Keshi even become captain of Anderlecht? The first and only person to have qualified a no WC hoper country for the WC, intact Togo may not qualify again in years to come. The only african to have qualified two different countries for the WC, intact Keshi you too much!!!! Was he perfect, of course not, like all of us but that doesn't make him less of a legend!!!! 1 Like |
