p.s hope we play our matches in PH and uyo and not calabar o!

lexyman:


You are correct about the analysis you gave but , I think Ogeyi Onazi lead to that pressure , he was enjoying the party in front (tiki-takes ) between Iwobi , iheanacho and Mikel , he came to join them and he exposed the back line to unecessary pressure , I think Onazi should be discipline and must play to instructions . As time goes on the team will get better , Leon will join them , I really pity oboabona , his days are numbered .

How I wish
Dele Alli, Jordan Ibe, Sheri Ojo and the anonymous lot that wants to rep the overhyped England just come to sense and Rep Nigeria where home truly is.


If these guys listed above get 30+ caps for England, I'll diff my hat for them.

That still doesn't mean we shoe-horn him into the wings when we have Better Options.

1. If Ighalo is Available he Starts though his Link-up play is Top Notch.
2. Any of The Moses Will do.
3. I dont see Mikel getting benched but he isnt getting required minutes to stay match fit for Club.
4. Onazi has Merrited a starting Place.
5. Ndidi haven't seen much of him apart from that Game yesterday so can't say much.
6. Wouldn't bench Ikeme even if Enyeama was available on Current Form.

TheGoodJoe:


As long as Mikel trains everyday with his club, he is good to go. What we are talking about is relying more on moving the ball with passes. Onazi and Mikel can play comfortably in the middle. Iwobi, Iheanacho and Nwobodo can form a deadly forward passing trident behind who ever strikes.

It is a good option. It would have worked in the game yesterday where we needed to pass more that run with the ball. If we are playing a possession style, Nwobodo is more suited. If we want to run at the full backs, V. Moses, S. Moses and Musa suits more.

Mickael2:


I don't know why you are saying this thing since morning. Even Barca that plays such a formation plays also with a true winger. Victor Moses plays in an identical fashion with Neymar and you have to agree that Barca won't be that great without a Neymar-style player. There was Pedro before him and Sanchez before that, so we need Victor Moses there. You don't need your 5 forward players to be possession oriented, you need a direct route and only a direct player can create that

daveP:
Goal.com very funny. we need to settle this attack

This Era of the Super Eagles will make a good inspirational movie in the long run...

I have always dreamed the coming of another golden generation.... And we're close to it. We are close to its full dawn...

TheGoodJoe:


I pointed out when Iniesta plays on the wing. Same with Silva. When you play Neymar in the team, he is not in a midfield set up but a forward set up. That is a 4-3-3. Not a compact 4-5-1 formation. Iwobi plays more of a midfield game than an all out winger or a wing forward. It is a similar role I expect Iwobi to play in such set up.

I also pointed out is the strategy that matters.

When Man City sets up with Silva and Nasri wide, they play with the central midfield players to control the game.

Mickael2:



i disagree with your last sentence. I will start Enyeama any day any time, why? It's not just about the shot-stopping abilities, rather the way he coordniates the defence. Ikeme was not instructing anybody at all, that was why most times our full backs were unaware, as a GK you shout at your defenders, make them aware of the opposing players presence and I would fancy Enyeama to even keep out that goal they scored sef, so Enyeama anyday of the week abeg. Not to mention that he is our captain afterall.

Its Funny how people are suggesting Nwobodo who Is a deep-lying Playmaker should be used as a winger. Its like saying Pirlo or a Regista like Busquets should play as a winger.
This a Youtube Video of him.

Carl Ikeme coordinates the defence well. He might not be a fire-brand shouter like Buffon, but he is effective at what he does. In defence he has the demeanor of Hugo Lloris, Bravo and Ter Stegen. These ones don't shout ferociously like Enyeama but still organize their defenses well.

Sometimes, shouting at defenders needlessly is counterproductive. For young defenders, you create panic in them and thus make them lose concentration. Who else noticed how that used to make Yobo, a veteran, jittery?

Also, Enyeama has conceded worse goals than what Ikeme conceded yesterday. May be you should watch the three goals Enyeama conceded before the International break against Saint-Étienne. Even as a great goal-keeper, he is not perfect.

Ikeme is a very capable goalkeeper. I have no complaints.

TheGoodJoe:


Depends on the coach and style of play. Yesterday, wing play let us down. We were dangerous keeping possession and passing the ball. With Nwobodo, we can stay organised in the middle and break the opposition with quick passing combinations.

forgiveness:
Although, I didn't have the opportunity to see the first half but I was able to see 40 minutes before the end of the second half.

I think we have dwelt much on the first eleven without considering their replacement in case of any eventuality.

First of all, I noticed the defence could not withstand countless waves of attacks. Especially from the wing backs.

It seems we depend too much on Mikel Obi and Onazi in the midfield.

I don't understand why our coaches don't like doing the right thing.

Why use a defender/defensive midfield as a wing back when we have Brain Idowu and Tyrone Ebuechi who plays regularly for their teams?

Moses Odubanjo and Ola Aina dey dere too but dem go wan squeeze dem players into the team.

I think it is high time we look for credible left back too. Elderson Echiejile seems to be another weak link at the back.

Taye Taiwo still plays better than all the players tested so far and he is the only left back playing regularly. But he must be tried in a friendly before the qualifiers.


Kenneth Otigba must be called.

Who can replace/substitute Iheanacho and Iwobi should be the next thing a reasonable coach should think of.

Icon4s:


You sidon think this formation or na for dream u see am.

zuchyblink:
We cannot bank on Echiejile to stop Mahrez.Onazi can match him speed for speed,strenght for strenght and for the fact that Mahrez is a left footer and Onazi is a right footer,it will be easier for him to stop Mahrez.
Etebor remains a beast in front of the post more than the over rated duo of Ideye and Ighalo. An attack of Ideye and Ighalo cannot defeat Zambia in Ndola if there is a rematch. The duo remains over rated

When was the Last time Silva played wide for man city and Spain, Last Season Navas and sterling were the Wide Players and both were Wide Wingers. Though I understand Your Point about Iniesta and Silva Playing out wide but Barca Played a False Nine so crossing the ball wouldn't be an option.

Like it or not even the experiment with iniesta and silva as wide playmakers failed at Barca(2012-2013) and Spain(Euros) that was why Barca had to change to inverted wingers with Neymar and Messing cutting in.

I would agree that i havent watched much of Nwobodo I dont its wise playing him as a wide Playmaker against an african side . We should use the African way create one on one sittuation with their fullbacks.

We already have Iwobi who is our wide playmaker it wouldnt hurt too much to have an inverted or conventional wingers
