Klose for you viewing pleasure.

I am impressed, I did not know Moses had such a great leap. Nice post. Unfortunately, Moses is not a striker, so he posed no threat to the Egyptian defenders. But, I must say, he has a great leap and gets to a great height for a smallish man.

Is Thomas Muller a striker? Must you be a Striker before you pose a threat?

What is Victor Moses? Winger or attacker and that's all.

Thomas Müller (German pronunciation: [ˈtʰoː.mas ˈmʏ.lɐ]; born 13 September 1989) is a German professional footballer who plays for Bayern Munich and the Germany national team. Müller plays as a midfielder or forward, and has been deployed in a variety of attacking roles – as an attacking midfielder, second striker, centre forward and on either wing. He has been praised for his positioning, teamwork and stamina, work-rate, and has shown consistency in scoring and creating goals

Moses can also play anywhere up front. The point is Siasia messed up big time with his selection.

and what qualified the likes of Guinea and Zambia to even be in pot1?

Don't even tell me that yeye FIFA ranking that proves nothing.

forgiveness:


How soon?

TheGoodJoe:


In the match against Egypt, We had Iheanacho and Ighalo upfront. After the changes, we had Ighalo and Aminu.

In the second leg, Ighalo and Aminu. Victor Moses was not an attacker in the game. So he was no threat to the central defenders of Egypt.

Victor Moses was not the target of the longest balls and he would have been a crosser if we were using wing crossing, not the target.

TheGoodJoe:


You just saw an article showing that Muller played as a striker in games for Guardiola and your writing wiki story. Does the wiki story change the fact that Muller plays as a striker in games for Bayern?

Now show me a link saying Moses played a lead striking role in the EPL.

Are you saying Coach Siasia should have considered Moses for the striking role ahead of Ighalo, Aminu, Iheanacho etc?

Icon4s:


Well, I can't tell. Just for us to pray that God should put confusion in the camp of our enemies (The Pharaohs)

forgiveness:




If Siasia had chosen better players, he would have had the option of crossing the ball into the post.

Moses Simon, Moses Odubajo and Imoh Ezekiel can also cross the ball to both Anthony Ujah or Victor Moses.


As you can see, selection was the problem.

Victor Moses: Stoke City striker faces eight weeks out


https://www.google.com.ng/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/30210377&ved=0ahUKEwj3goaQqevLAhXD7w4KHRJ5C9AQFghWMA8&usg=AFQjCNFQ6lrFlCQ4C7evDcMFBCeuSTMQgw



Moreover, i saw him played in that position for Liverpool and Wigan

TheGoodJoe:


Is it because they wrote Stoke City striker. We know the strikers of Stoke over the years. Crouch, Walters, Osaze, Biram Diouf.

All these guys will get a nod upfront before Moses.

So it is a guy you saw once when he was in Wigan,you want Coach Siasia to play upfront and lob balls too. You would have preferred Coach Siasia building the team with limited accurate crossers to feed V. Moses against those Egyptian defenders.

I did not approve Coach Siasia's approach to the game but I knew what he was up against. He doubled up on the attack with Aminu and Ighalo, hoping to out muscle the defence of Egypt.

Coach Siasia also hoped he could penetrate with the pace of Musa, Moses and Aminu.

Unfortunately, Hector Cuper prepared his side for our direct play.

I can not heap blames on Coach Siasia because of the short time to prepare. A creative approach would have been better but we should give the man a break. He got us playing good Football. Something we are not used to.

forgiveness:


Watch Bayern Munich matches and you will realise he seldomly plays as a striker.

Victor Moses is known as a forward. Is Neymar a striker, is Ronaldo a striker, we can go on and on...... But the truth is Siasia had no option b hence the bad selection prior to the AFCON qualifiers matches.

A winger or forward can score from anywhere.

TheGoodJoe:



Read slowly.

Over the past season, under Pep Guardiola, Müller has often played as the lone striker

In the game Brazil played Uruguay recently, Neymar played as a lone striker.

I have not seen Victor Moses play as a lone striker. So how do you expect Coach Siasia to do such in a crucial game.

zoboizee:
Our fullbacks were poor. They can hardly dribble nor cross the ball. And our build-up is usually too slow and our centre backs can't pass the ball one time, they rather hesitate, slow down and then play it sky high. And if we are still playing ighalo upfront and want him to score, never load high balls. he his poor in aerial duels. i believe we will be better off with this selection in our next match:
1.CARL IKEME
2.DANIEL AKPEYI
3.EMMANUEL DANIEL
4.GODFREY OBOABONA
5.KENNETH OMERUO
6.CHIDOZIE AWAZIEM
7.ELDERSON ECHIEJILE
8.STANLEY AMUZIE
9.ISAAC SUCCESS
10.LEON BALOGUN
11.WILFRED NDIDI
12.OGENYI ONAZI
13.MIKEL OBI
14.AZUBUIKE OKECHUKWU
15.OGHENEKARO ETEBOR
16.ALEX IWOBI
17.KELECHI IHEANACHO
18.VICTOR MOSES
19.MOSES SIMON
20.AHMED MUSA
21.ODION IGHALO
I remove efe ambrose for his inconsistencies or momentary loss of concentration. in our 1st leg, he puts salah on-side for the goal and in the 2nd leg he blocked the keeper's view and deflected the shot in our net

TheGoodJoe:


Pinnick is confused. He does not understand the working of the Super Eagles. It is long since we hired a foreign technical Adviser to handle the qualifiers. It is too expensive.

He should have resigned after his African Guardiola messed him up.

If Amaju Pinnick can source for the funds, they should allow him do what he wants.

I will even recommend attacking and skillful Coach that will suit our new golden generation. Leonardo who brought Kaka and Pato to Italy. He discovered Coutinho for Inter Milan.

As technical direct of PSG, he built one of the best teams in Football today. He brought the likes of Verrati, Pastore, Lucas Moura, Cavanni, Lavezzi, Ibrahimovic to PSG.

His philosophy is similar to Telê Santana, the Brazilian Coach who raised one of the best Brazilian teams but unfortunately, Telê never won the World Cup.

Leonardo is without a job after his alteration with a referee after a PSG game. He has coached AC Milan and Inter Milan. He loves creative players and he wore the ten shirt of Brazil. As for me, Brazil's most skillful player in France '98.

Wish Pinnick Goodluck.

But y this picking on Ambrose? In other words he was responsible for our nt qualifying.

Amuzie and nt Ambrose kept Salah on for that goal in d first leg.

Leading to d goal in Alexandria, when d Egyptian player was to take dat shot where did u expect Ambrose to b as a CB? Behind d goalie?

And Abdullahi Shehu defleted d ball into d net and nt Ambrose.

I have noticed that Ambrose is d most disliked player in that team which is majorly y he has been receiving all this bashing. Ambrose to me was nt as bad as most of u guys potray him.

Haba, too much sentiments running.
