Come to think of it, i've never seen Sallah cross with his right before.

If we hit 3 answered goals before the half, Peseiro should bring in Uzoho from 70' onwards.

I really would have loved a repeat of the 433. We created loads of chances with that formation and would have won if not for wastefulness.

The 343 seems to give us less chances going forward.

This is a good 😊 topic

What is your definition of African football ⚽❓

What I can tell you is there are cultural dynamics as well coaching practices and different emphasis.

In Africa we lay a lot of emphasis on dribbling, skills , athletic ability even physicality. But less on football intelligence and management, end product crosses, free kicks , intelligent disguised passes, etc.

Trent Alexander was actually a midfielder who was called to play RB , that's where is opportunity came from. He seized it with both hands didn't complain that he was midfielder, well the rest is history.

What you will find in the top academies is emphasis on the things we ignore. You really need to be able to cross the ball with both feet by 15 if you want to progress.

It's some of tihre basics not all but a good number of our homegrown players have not mastered. This can be a problem for progression.

I see these handicaps in Zaidu, Chukwueze and to a lesser extent Moses S.

I love African football ⚽ without all the restrictive tactics and team strategies. It is fantastic entertainment, however winning may be a problem.

What do you think.

I've been to most premier League academies as well as championship ones. And these are my observations.
In essence Aribo is ambidextrous also. Haven't seen him kick with his right tho.

Hope you know he was in Arsenal for 10 years and played with Eze, Iwobi, before going to Southampton then Burnley.

He played SS , LW, AM for Burnley but predominantly inverted wingers from the right .
Was there another Aina? Or d same Ola Aina? In Arsenal & Burnleyhuh

Abeg refresh my memory. Apart from the friendly against Argentina, I can't remember Rohr playing a 3-4-3 in any competitive match.
It wasn't a 3-4-3, rather 3-4-1-2 rohr played against Argentina

Dude KC will drift inwards to his comfort zone. Can he cross the ball with his right foot 👣❓

Has he got blistering pace and wavey deceptive skills to get past players IMO a big No. I think he is more suited to being a SS or a number 9

You know, if we had converted our chances against Equatorial Guinea and won, Peseiro would have stuck with 4-3-3 against CIV...

Maybe this 3-4-3 will do the trick once we master it... But I'm really not a fan of it..

Against a "less" team, 3-4-3 can be a devastating weapon against the opponent if the inverted winger play accordingly.
