Honestly. You need to see the 50 yards Freekick he scored just yesterday. Check out BascoVanVeli's video.

Doing that at 44 abi na 46 yrs is insane!

8 league goals for Rabiu Ali at Age 44 or so and 4 of them na freekicks. That guy is super human.

chrisooblog:
I dare say if Rabiu Ali had been born with a more football advanced country he would've been quite a player.

Name your DM, 2 CMs and the front 3 in this setup. I wanna check something.

Something like that. But Iwobi bring 1/2 CMs sorta. To trust Chuks/Nacho hard. So yeah, maybe Iwobi

Chukwubuikem Ikwuemesi won the penalty his side OH leuven scored from in a 1-1 draw vs Royal Union St.Gilloise in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League.

Promise Akinpelu David played 65mins for St.Gilloise.

Anthony Dennis impressed again in midfield for Goztepe as they ran out 4-2 winners away at Besiktas.

Anthony Dennis, CM/DM in action for Goztepe in the Turkish Super Lig away at Besiktas. His 9th League game and 9th start.

Tochukwu Nnadi played all 90mins in the CDM role as his side Zulte Waregem thrashed RFC Seraing 5-1 in the Belgian Challenger Pro League.

Waregem top the league after 12 matchdays. Finishing in the Top 2 secures them automatic qualification to the Belgian Jupiler Topflight. Finishing 3rd-6th means promotion playoffs to decide the final 3rd promotion slot.

I'm no Ndidi fan as Starter. So I'll take Tank Frank. Let Alhassan and Onyedika take up the 2 spots. But this will mean Simon is benched which i don't see happening with his current form. So the 2CM spots is a really hard pick became Mola and Simon gats start on the left. Unless they make them rotate wings and hence Iwobi becomes one of the 2CMs(Alhassan dropped)

Hmmmm... Okay, noted. But putting Frank as your lone pivot in the CDM role is not a balanced pick. Onyedika as a CM rather than as CDM is playing him in his less effective role. Alhassan at CM is okay in your setup.

The front 3. You seem torn between Mola/Iwobi flanking Osimhen and Mola/Simon flanking Osimhen when the whole point of your 4123 suggestion was to slot in Iwobi wide. So why the confusion? Lol

As far as he finds the opportunity to shoot at goal in a decent position, he will score. He got fed by Isakson following a fast break and took his strike well. Ballstriking and attacking the box na him superpowers.

But as a creative or visionary 10, don't count on Bashiru. Finito.

Rotation/movement between the 2. Like if Iwobi fits at Wing, the winger previously there slots into midfield and vice versa throughout the game. That's why 😃

Those 2, i picked the one with less attacking flair as cdm. Of course im away of Onyedika primary role.

Even at that, he still couldn't string passes well. Like a demotivated field day, similar to Osayi.

So if Iwobi is gonna go wingwards, a inverted winger profile like Chukwueze or a crossing winger profile like Moses Simon are gonna go central? Would not work as both aren't astute playing centrally as 8s or CMs.

Anyone that has followed me knows I do not lie, manipulate or deceive. I stick to the truth based on knowledge and acknowledge where I falter. So people making bogus statements about me is not new to me. Go and checkout the page of Osaze's QPR incident. I was literally attacked all thread for disagreeing with public opinion.

Go and check how much I was blasted for standing against sacking Keshi.

So my brother, this is small. There is nothing people can say to make me stand against the truth.
You have joined the comedians 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣

I don't think TheSuperNerd's point contradicts mine. He suggests Fisayo is not a creative player. That is because he relies on brilliant touches and off the ball movement to excel.

Also, we are not seeing his shooting technique often because our style of play does not create clear chances.

Finally, our style of play does not give enough room for his one touch style to shine since we rely so much on aimless long balls and less sound buildup plays.

Scoring does not mean the style of play suits him. Our ball play is a bit chaotic and individualistic. Players that prefer tactical approach will not thrive easily with it.

It is not about scoring but Fisayo looking poor on the pitch. With a more up tempo one touch style, with fluid movements of teammates, we will enjoy him more.

My point is this,moniker said Fisayo scored and what happened against Rwanda?you cited our style of play but the same Fisayo did the same thing he did yesterday against Libya under the same style of play?....do we say style of play or what

I am more on his performance and TheSuperNerd was also about his overall performance. I don't think it is just about the goal. If not the talk of creativity won't come up.

I think your point with TheSuperNerd is different...his own opinion was Fisayo lacks creativity why you used our styles of play as the major issue.

I don't think it's contradictory sir 😌, if our style of play doesn't suit his profile, he'll hardly be in the position to do what he does best, and we saw it against Rwanda. For the Udinese part, every player has his or her bad day. FDB have come from the bench multiple times and turned up for Lazio, if he gets more playing time, we'll see his best.

As a matter of fact sir, I don't even think we have a style of play currently, just get the ball and do what you can do to score. We had a style of play at AFCON but not now anymore.
