Before we discuss football formation at a level further from its basics, I want us to arrive at certain basic conclusions.

Do you agree that football formation determines the primary role of a player?

Akkin:
We have gone 1up throughout this tournament and have not lost or drawn any game...and osimehn unbeaten streak is still alive with us winning every game he scored in

I believe that shouldnt change against Morocco so I believe we'll win

Osimehn to score

NIGERIA 1 - MOROCCO 0 FT

Papi85:

Toylove:

TheGoodJoe:
The point is simple.

Formations is not that important.

If players interpret when to attack and defend and do it very well. There will not be any problem.

Meaning Finidi spends more time in players understanding how to interpret when to attack than defend. The formation set up is not as important as interpreting when to attack and defend.

There is nothing wrong in what Finidi said. He is 100% right.

Give a source that contradicts his point.

Mujtahida:
He praised Lookman. In fact he was insinuating that Lookman wasn't happy that's why he didn't shine in the last match and that we should make Lookman happy. I was like Lookman that was jumping all over Osimhen?

He lavished praise on Akor and Bassey. On Osimhen, he just glossed over the guy's performance.

I like Oliseh very much but I see why he can't make a good coach for Nigeria. He's somebody that will polarize the team. Remember how he sidelined Obi Mikel.

TheGoodJoe:
Your the one that wants to contradict. So my understanding is not in the context. Make your point and then I will concur or disagree.

Just keep in mind I have my understanding and philosophy of it.

So push on.

TheSuperNerd:
#18 Sani, Our new star winger!!! 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

Mujtahida:
Ekong should retire and come be an understudy to Chelle

foxman04:
I don't usually comment here but this thing wey you dey talk no follow, it's just like saying soldier going to war without formation, they will certainly die like Sufayo. gladiators as far back BC Have battle formation, Even the Pep you're referencing I can't count how many formation he's introduced, the man even gambled by experimenting a new formation in that champions League final against Chelsea and lost... If formation is as useless as you and guardiola think then why do we have Strikers, CB, right/left back, 11 players for just dey the field running around like it's street football

Meliforme:
My understanding of football formation at its basics is that a player primary role is determined by football formation.

The simple question is, do you agree or disagree?

We can't discuss how a certain football formation can aid a coach's approach to games, when we haven't even touched the basics.

Mujtahida:
Chelle in his earliest interview upon being appointed stated that coaching Nigeria has always been his dream.

Mali now sacked him. Finidi effed up. There was a vacancy and the rest his history

SymphonyRad:
So nobody get the full match link...na wa o

TheGoodJoe:
In a match, a team can end up playing up to four different shapes. So, the starting formation is not as important as the players understanding how to interpret and adapt to situations on the field.

Today we have players shift positions during play. Will you say the starting position is the most important thing? It isn't.

Finito.

Justice505:
oh! Sorry to come in, right from the issue osimhen got with finidi the whole 1994 set has that dislike for him they can't show it out because osimhen has beat everybody expectations.

I was watching soccer Africa during the world Cup qualifier and the anchor was like " Nigeria got there world Cup qualification on track thanks to osimhen" Not the exact verbatim but something like that and idah peterside brush it aside as if the name osimhen is irritating to him then went further to talk about the team in general.

Blueelf:

oloriooko:
Morocco will stifle Iwobi in the MF and Eric better have a plan B and Osayi and Bruno better ready for the game of their lives with Diaz dazzling down the wings

foxman04:
Formation is not constant, it has to change during the course of the game but it not all the time
