BankyGee:
Even that draw with Benin made us drop points, all these countries are wayyyy below us in rankings, not to talk of loss. 😑😑

TheSuperNerd:
You have not said anything.

lbrichman2:
Napoli would want more
Them fit ask for 50M

But then, ManUtd were told to come back in June
VO isn't leaving gala this season

charlesemeka85:
I hope so but for him to succeed he needs to let go of few dead woods in the team

Rashford and Luke Shaw should the the first duo to go

Joezinho:
Dang!!! I really want this deal to happen.

We need a good striker infront of goal which Victor Osimhen will deliver that perfectly. Dude is a fighter, fast paced and passionate..

Serious Question: Creative conundrum of the Super Eagles

Elyte89, if you were given the Super eagles job right now, which player would you call up ahead of March as the creative deputy to Alex Iwobi??


I ask this because of this Eguavoen statement below post-match...


“Goals win games, we all know that. They are scoring goals in their club sides, they are scoring goals in training. But when it comes to the game, they don’t score goals. I keep asking the same questions,” Eguavoen told journalists.

“But you know there are some players who can make a difference, who can put the ball into space for them to go to goal. But we are still looking for that player who has that flair and creativity. A good playmaker who can put the ball into space for them.”









P.S: Anyone else who has a serious answer to this question can kindly go ahead and answer. Throwing names alone won't cut it. You must name that lad and correctly profile him as the creative head needed. Don't just name-drop. Name-drop correctly with the creative midfield profile in mind. Thank you.

elyte89:
Well I don’t c iwobi as a creative midfielder like I said earlier in one of my post,any coach dt still relies on iwobi as a creative hub is a lazy coach

I will rada use him d way his club fields him,dt is if he will start ..to me I will assume we don’t have dt creative midfielder at all

lbrichman2:
You see that Rashford ehn?!
Make I just no talk fes

In my opinion we do already have a team that can score goals, even if we do not; I'm not sure that our coaches are adventurous enough to integrate anyone new into that midfield at this point... That said, realistically making use of our regular invitees is the way.

However, looking at the player profiles the setups have always been wrong.

The best system for our current group of players is a 4-2-3-1

A 4-3-3 will not work for the following reasons:
1. There's no natural number 6 to recycle the ball and glue the midfield together (Nwakali is about the only Nigerian player who can do a good job there, but of course we do not want to hear it)
2. We do not have pure wingers.. the only pure winger we have is Moses Simon, playing him on the right (hugging the lines which is his strength )and Ademola (inverted) on the left always causes a tactical imbalance when our full backs (who also enjoy hugging the lines) join the attack which a few days training (typical of National teams cannot fix).

A 3-4-3 will not work because we tend to have five men at the back without the ball instead of a four or five man mid-field without the ball as it should be, leaving us very thin in the midfield more like a 5-2-3 without the ball, the midfield is then overrun repeatedly
For instance Benin Away first half.. iheanacho was played on the right wing (which is scandalous by the way) without the ball I would have instructed him to tuck into mid-field and lead the press in that zone if I was the coach, instead he was just all over the place...

4-2-3-1 on the other hand will not need so many tactical instructions, the players will adapt easily and play at their best.

The back four basically picks itself:
Midfield pairing of Ndidi and Onyedika should start --- Ndidi the ball winner, Onyedika the distributor.

Chukwueze on the right (inverted) Aina next to him hugging the lines to deliver crosses.

Ademola on the left (inverted)
Onyemachi next to him hugging the lines to deliver crosses

Iwobi in the hole,
Osimhen up top.

This setup will deliver goals and can easily be implemented with little training.

It's not rocket science really

This setup will deliver goals and can easily be implemented with little training, it is to be noted however that if Osimhen is not available in the system the second choice is not Boniface ( that guy is not a traditional number 9) this is why we need Taiwo Awóníyì to start playing regularly for his club

It's not rocket science really

typicalgamer:
Na ranking them take they play ball ?

We no beat higher ups to get there ?

Why we ourselves not get beaten when we’re complacent

BankyGee:
Rankings play a huge part in football, if not people will not be here angry that we lost to a 126th ranked team in the world, if not people will not term some leagues backwater leagues and drop the UEFA Ranking Coefficients here.

Yes, no be rankings dey play ball, but rankings are important and either gives your team respect or see finish - your ranking alone fit scare opponents before them enter pitch with you seff. Maybe when we drop enter 50th, you go understand how important rankings dey.

Oganigwe:
Owngoalnigeria have started their usual reports about foreign coaches lining up for the SE job, we will be seeing the same rigmarole of NFF paid articles from different sites about them searching for a coach when we all know they will end up claiming no foreign coach wanted the job and re-assign Eguavoen as interim for the WCQs.

elyte89:
Same storyline ..we knw dem already, nff is broke until dey get a genuine sponsor ..any news concerning a foreign coach is FAKE .

TheGoodJoe:
My posts are not meant to condone the actions of the Libyans. What they did as far as I am concerned is the reckless endangerment of National assets. There is no room for pardon and I hope they are cracked down for it. I hope they are made an example to end this recklessness once and for all.
