Every striker goes thru such periods so be patient with him

Are you sure you're in the right place. That's where I watched Ideye's goal and Iheanacho's fierce shot that was parried by the goalkeeper.

Halftime. Nigeria leads by a goal to nil.

Mediapace:
Me i don swear say i'll never return to watching 9ja matches after they failed to qualify for Afcon lols.

All of you watching this match shey you know say it is dangerous,IF 9JA SHOULD LOOSE THIS FRIENDLY THEN LET'S FORGET WORLD CUP.

Those people they are playing,their Fifa ranking is above 100 which means if they win,their ranking will come up and ours will go down.
If that happens at this time,then their is probability that we are going to be grouped with either Algeria Ghana coast Tunisia and you know what that means


Let's watch them play though .....
UP9ja

I can not believe I how loud I laughed after you asked for the plank. That was unexpected.

tyeenigga:
Thanks for the Link thenff.com Our goalkeeper needs to be cautioned, he is coming out of box 18 too often. our midfield is doing well but no support forard from the wing backs

saintmark88:

Exactly, and this team will concede a lot without retaining possession. Who in this world plays a 4-2-3-1 without any defensive midfielder? You are playing two box to box midfielders meaning that just like Rakitic for barca for example they will both push into the opponents box, who will be defending then? And please don't tell me that Onazi can play as a true DMF, his tackles are rash and late, he pressures the opponent no doubt but with him there means we will see a red card.

Then the scoring part, when was the last time you saw Nacho playing as a midfielder? You either play Nacho as the striker or play him as the SS, he is not an AMF! Your players were pretty much okay, but the formation does not suit them. My humble opinion? Ok.

The Goalkeeper and defence line will just be like you said, although I would want Alampasu to be our Casillas, you know, start playing now that he is still very young. The defence is superb although I might replace the LB with Madu, but that's just me though.

Then the midfield has to change completely. I saw with you did there when you excluded Mikel, which isn't so bad actually. But with a 4-1-3-2 which is what I intend to apply, Mikel has to start, or some other true defensive midfielder, we don't need a box to box midfielder here, we need Busquet or someone like that, Mikel can do that, i believe Ndidi can too so I will go for Ndidi. Then the 3 on top would be easy, Moses Simon and Victor Moses easily the wingers (but Victor Moses isn't always available so just put in Musa there), then the front two will be either Ighalo as the main striker and Iheanacho as the support striker or better still, Iheanacho as the main striker and Musa as the support! Iheanacho is the deadliest striker in Europe, why should we play him as a midfielder then?! Iheanacho hardly puts pressure on teams so Musa's workrate will compensate for that, not to mention his pace and trickery. This formation provides versatility, we can play a direct style of football with Moses and Simon pushing up, we can retain possession with Mikel/Ndidi and Iwobi( yes Iwobi, he is an arsenal academy graduate, holding the ball is what he does best.) we can couter attack, with Moses, Simon and Musa, couter attacks would be the norm. We can play through the wings and use our crosses(but i hate that one sha, we don't have the height and presensce so to say). And this teams has goals, from the wingers, through the Attacking midfielder to the main striker, all of them can score a shitload of goals(except Musa sha, that Aboki I no understand am) so yes, we need to play to our players strength not just playing any formation we like
