Aribo as DM? grin grin grin we Don enter am
Maybe it's because of the opposition, that is, SL is expected to park the bus. Because against Mexico he used 3 midfielders for most of the game, at some point Madu went into Bonnke's role. Let's give him time sha, abi wetin we fit do?

whether weak opposition or not, it doesn't make sense playing players out of position. All the weaker team needs is a loophole in our formation or lineup and they will exploit it. Awaziem or Ajayi would have been ideal

Eguavoen 2.0
Equaveon system was working until Iheanacho and Awoniyi refused to press against Tunisia. When he reverted to 4-3-3 we could not even score from open play against Ghana. No African defense can contain Desser, Oshimen, Chuz/Dennis, Simon/Lookman running at them. With Iwobi dictating play from deep. If you watch our friendly games you will understand!

Against Ecuador, Iwobi and Aribo kind of played as B2B midfielders as we didn't use a recognized DM so he may just try the same formation, the fullbacks would need to work extremely hard though.

I watched both games sir and I believe we suffered because of a lack of a commanding DM.

The first time the Super Eagles are truly enjoying their Training sessions!
Attacking pressing 4-4-2 formation. Desser, Oshimen, Chukweze, and Simon to lead the attack. Iwobi box to box! Aribo DM! Exciting times ahead.
I hope this is Fifa 22 OOO

is it the same Sierra Leone that drew 4-4 with us are the ones we are expecting to pack the bus??. If there is no dm on ground they should use ajayi. Etebo no dey stay one place but I would still prefer him in that dm position than aribo

Friendlies are for assessing things. Na qualifiers we de play now.

Except Peseiro no know the country wey he come. A draw would not be accepted sec

I'm starting to think his philosophy is to have 2 strikers upfront. I'm with him as long as we play well and win.

Na 4-4-2 Uruguay de use do well for WC

But sha if I remember well, Uruguay dey get dogged midfielders and wingers wey fit run tirelessly not primadonas as wingers and midfielders. I would think using 2 strikers will require two Kante like midfielders or 1Ndidi and Onyeka who have extra tanks and two solid wingers with a lot of energy and intelligent play to make that work. Not unproductive dribbling /showboating and lack of stamina!! On and off the ball, the wingers must be ready to work tirelessly. Question is, do we have that?

The current Sierra leone national team is not a weak opppsition. That team is so confident they will beat the Super Eagles or at worst get a draw. And i will not be surprised. The eagles are on a downward slope whether we believe it or not. If your team can't move the ball from midfield to attack with smooth inter-change of passes, then there's really an herculen task for the team. That is why they constantly prefer to send in long balls. Leone Stars are very strong, our men will be in for it. They better prepare for the deadballs & counter-attack where they have always shown to have weaknesses.

Watching the 3 cats (copyright from Charley) play the Germans now. Can't help but say Eze and Olise especially Olise don't have good advisors. No way they can get into the English team with Mount, Bellingham, Rice, Foden, Grealish, Gallagher, Maddison, Dewsbury- Hall all being young boys, e no better make dem quick join us?

Seems the coach will take advantage of our depth in centre forward by playing the waning two striker formation.

However Chelsea and Roma have proven that this can still work in 2022.

Despite all his technical qualities, the player paired with Dessers will play SS.

My brother na so me sef reason am jare. Bet make we dey sidon dey look with the hope that this coach succeeds with whatever formation he wants to use. But then from his friendly games, I think he is quick to tweak his formation if it's not working.

I'll prefer 3-5-2 to 4-4-2 .. For a two man midfield to work, you need workaholic players... Iwobi and Aribo will be limited in that formation..Plus when Ndidi returns,one of them will drop for him...

But to be honest, I still don't know why we can't utilise 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 .. Having a lot of strikers doesn't mean we have to play all of them..

Very well said, at the end of the day, Pacero is in charge and he will sink or swim with his decisions. I just hope he doesn't toy with our fragile emotions after the last two heartaches.

Because Dessers doesn't like it. Man is technically better than Moffi, but gave that role to him.

Yes Osimhen can run all day but are you suggesting that Dessers will dictate to Pacero how and where he wants to play or be played?
