My preferred formation for the first leg of the WCQ is 3 -5-2.

Uzoho

Ekong. Balogun/Omeruo Awaziem

Aina Onyeka Ndidi Aribo. Zaidu

Iheanacho Osimhen

I think this formation helps the team accommodate Nacho who is an excellent finisher without pruning the midfield unlike the 4-4-2.

Alternatively I will prefer a 4 -3-3 formation if we must use our traditional wingers. We can't afford to give the Ghanaians the numerical advantage in the midfield.


Jeez have you guys not learnt anything??!

Etebo is our best Midfielder, l really expected him to be the new Ngole Kante when he went to Stoke. Nonetheless, he is still our best box to box Midfielder.

I think you just like being controversial for its sake, you spent months talking down on Etebo when he was at Stoke city saying that he was not exceptional in the championship now he is actually spent you are saying he is our best midfielder, what next is your agenda, John Ogu is needed in SE midfield?

If I don't start see at bolded formation. I will know that this coaches are either not ready or don't yet understand or see what we the fans are seeing. And I wont be surprised if eagles don't go to the world cup.

That's your perception.

I first went to look at Etebo when he played for Warri Wolves and he stood out, it's not today I've known about Etebo.

Fast Forward he goes to Stoke city after the world cup, l had GREAT EXPECTATIONS for him. Sadly he did not live up to those expectations. I expected him to have a style of football similar to Ngole Kante.

He had some good flashes but was overall not able to to dominate in the club and league. That doesn't mean he is not good enough for the SE.

He has been playing for Watford has had a few games but injury has not helped him, effectively been out for 5 months plus.

He is not SPENT please, you are now TALKING HIM DOWN and your comments by are not objective but derogatory.

I gave an honest objective assessment of Etebo club and league performance that's not Talking down.

Rohr visited quite a few of other players at the time who all made committment.

NFF have been Claiming that the English FA have been delaying the change of allegiance process for no reason. Now you are saying they only made the application last October.

Why don't you invite Ovie and Ademola to your place for breakfast tomorrow morning and nicely ask them when they started their application for switch of allegiance?

Whether men of women, the same process is involved when switching allegiance...
The NFF themselves acknowledged that she and her "people" submitted the required documents on time which helped to fasten the switch....

Can you swear on your honour that Ovie and Ademola told you that they applied for switch of allegiance since 3 years ago?? It isn't by making commitment on social media.. They have to go through the formal route of applying...

So who will he bench in our midfield? You don't need a Kante when you have an Ndidi. Aribo offers much more attacking-wise, and Onyeka is also good enough to play B2B easy.

Continuing on my rant until this issue is taken seriously. I sincerely believe we should not continue to trivialize the issue of our non-existent goalkeeper in the super eagles. Seriously, why couldn't the NFF compensate the best seasonal goalkeeper in the NPFL with an invitation to the Super Eagles Camp. This would at least ensure the best goal keeper is invited to the super eagles while creating competition in the national team camp. If I remember correctly Enyeama ( arguably the best goal keeper Nigeria has ever produced) and any other goalkeeper of repute that has ever graced our senior national team goal line all came directly from the local league ( Aloy Agu, Peter Rufai, Ike Shorunmu, Joseph Dosu etc all come to mind). As much as i can't believe i am saying this, my people the answer to this goalkeeper problem may be in the local leagues. However, one thing this is definitely known, and with all certainty, is that the answer is not Maduka Okoye.

That's because he has a higher conversion rate amongst our forward players...he looks the most likely to bury half chances. No matter how critical you are of Nacho, it's difficult naming a present SE forward with his cold-blooded finishing.
But if we play a 4-3-3 with a lone striker then I don't fancy him playing upfront ..Osimhen is more suited to that.

A 4-4-2 is a no no because we presently do not have the right personnel to execute it....plus it's already predictable.

To those without eyes they think they can see but only darkness and unfortunately they think that everyone else has no eyes like them.

There is no other second tier in the whole of Europe that players move to top leagues as much as the Championship.

The EPL is the best most competitive league in world, that being the case , we can make an informed projection to say the Championship is better than leagues rated 8 and above ❓

Napoli has a top Midfielder on loan from a Champion side ,in the name of Anguissa.

Currently Spence 21 year old left back for Nottingham is wanted by the creme de la crème of Europe top clubs. So also is his team mate Johnson .

But of course to the blind it's an Ogbomosho akpa - Akpro league. The same league that our best Midfielder IMO was not able to have dominance with Stoke City.

Below a clip of Spence making Arsenal's Martinelli look ordinary, the same way this Championship club flogged Leicester city 4-1.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51t9uRSQrPI

Spence as an excuse? Okay Spence is 21 and rightly using the league as a stepping stone, while Ogbomosho Akpa-Kpro is already in his prime 25, yet can't make it out of the god-damned championship. Dude is already looking the way of Sammy Ameobi grin

The reason some people don't fancy Etebo is that they believe he doesn't combine well with Ndidi, but now I'm beginning to think it could have been due to Rohr's influence. He has what it takes to ramp up the energy in the midfield if he will release the ball at the right time. Under Eguavoen, he might just be a beast. I'm eager to see what he brings. Hopefully he gets back to full fitness and form by March.

Etebo is not the the same player he was 4 years ago. The successive injuries seem to be taking a toll on him. He's not as dynamic as he used to be...

Also, for those that cares to listen -- I believe Ejaria will be key for Nigeria. I can say confidently that he is a better dribbler than any of our players. He will be a perfect option to Iwobi at AM. I'm not sure if he could play CM, but it may be possible.

What i have realized is that not all the best players in England play in the EPL...

They are a lot of players in the Championship that are better than those in the EPL. The issue is that these players just haven't been picked up by the EPL for various and sundry reasons..

Public commitment is different from change of allegiance; apkoguma made public commitment long time,before He was invited same with Tobias lawal the LASK goalkeeper, who have not even filed the change of allegiance form and alot of players like that, ademola was not committed during his Everton days and even during his Leipzig spells; he said " he wanted to concentrate on his club career, he filed for the change of allegiance form october.

Eguavoen and Amuneke Appointments are good Call, I support it 100%. Wasting Millions of Dollars for Bronze Medals at AFCON and second round at WC ain't something to cheer at all.

I am glad we don't hire another incompetent, overrated, Manager again, in the Name of hiring a foreign Manager.

Meanwhile, we need to be realistic henceforth and fairly critiquing the Squad. First and foremost, Alloy Agu must go. He's a big failure as GKs Trainer. I'll rather have Ezenwa in Goal than any of Uzoho or Maduka.

Presently we don't have Goalkeepers. I won't mind Local based GKs like Olohunleke Ojo or we invite that Israel based GK ASAP.

Other departments are OK, except Midfield, precisely AM Position. We need an AM like Okocha or Mikel ASAP. Iwobi ain't a Heir. He has been tested and obviously not good enough for the Role.

I would have canvassed for Olise and Eze, but both are playing as Wingers at Crystal Palace. To me Amoo is not good enough for AM. Our Scouts should find us a proper, natural No. 10 before World Cup begins.
