It is the understanding of what electricity can do that gave rise to what we see today. Average 11000 volts can kill. Yes we know ! But is it desirable in that mode? Is it productive? To use such electricity, you have to step it down to something usable. If you dont believe me, plug ur phone directly to 240v source using live and neutral wires instead of ur phone charger.

TheGoodJoe:


Even now, we can play attacking football. What affects us is our selection. If the current Spanish boss, Lopetegui is our coach, he would not select a park bus squad bit select players that will suit a possessive, attacking setup. It is the manager and not the talent pool that is making us play in a conservative manner.

joseph1013:


Esiti was tremendous in this game. I prefer him to Agu.

Icon4s:


We are talking Nigeria playing a top team like Brazil. There is no way we can match them. You cannot play a top team like Brazil or Barcelona and come all out attacking. The score-line will be so humiliating. You cannot setup your team to do all attack in every game. Tactics for each games depends a lot on the strength of your opposition.

Which selections are you even talking about? Call the names of players that have not been selected yet and lets see if they are worthy of selection.

Haba! Where you see me talk say em score goals or gave assists?

OK! Since, you watched the match pinpoint any lie you saw in my post.

TheGoodJoe:


For start, Aluko has a lot to contribute to our team offensively and creatively.

If not Pepe Mel giving Uzoho a chance, you will not agree such a player deserves a shot. By the way, no one says we should go all out attack on Brazil but play in a more offensive fashion.

Icon4s:


So only Aluko's inclusion will just automatically transform the team into a very offensive one.

So because Pepe tried Uzoho in a league game Rohr should have tried him in any of qualifiers?

Talking about Brazil "play in a more offensive fashion" than.......??

Your Abdul Jeleel Ajagun is a wack player. He is also far older than he claims. I have it on good authority he was 25 years when he played Nigeria '99 U-17 World cup.

Never ever compare Victor Osimhen and Kelechi Nwakali to that old toad as they are truly young and really good ballers.

where in my post did i say you said so? i was just saying your exaggeration of kayode's skill set and game play at girona could make one think he is tearing it up in la liga

Firstly, I am a patriotic Nigerian. Secondly, I choose objectivity as against bias. I have noticed how you address issues and I must say you should try tone it down a bit. Let us understand one fact, this issue of dropping deep only aids buid up plays but also only works in a team set up with clear objectives. To score goals!

Iheanacho is not exactly gonna take the ball from the goal keeper and still find time to pass to himself to score. Its one thing or the other. It cant be both. At the start of the second half he did drop deep. But leicester team is not a team well drilled in the art of progressive attack. They lack a play maker. And that is where ManCity is thriving now. Take out DeBruyne and you will see that half your problem of facing city is solved. I cant ever recall a time in the game when Ndidi made a through pass with the aim of pickin out Iheanacho. His passes were all sideways. So are you trying to change his role from an SS to a 10?

That is where objectivity comes in. All i saw Iheanacho do yesterday was make runs with no one in particular picking him out. Leicester didnt look like a team that had a 10. And if they think they had and are referring to Mahrez as the 10, then they are deluded. I would av expected a solid bond between vardy, mahrez and iheanacho. But it was almost like each one playin for himself. Thats why I said Vardy, all pace , no brain. He has the energy and the grit but not channelling it wisely. It is the understanding of what electricity can do that gave rise to what we see today. Average 11000 volts can kill. Yes we know ! But is it desirable in that mode? Is it productive? To use such electricity, you have to step it down to something usable. If you dont believe me, plug ur phone directly to 240v source using live and neutral wires instead of ur phone charger.

If you check my posts, I am not one of those that sing Iheanacho's praises. I analyse and I say what i saw just the way it is. Let us understand that the dude just had his second start and is just coming back from injury. What I see working for shakespeare is his blatant kick and follow soccer which at best earns him a draw. You will agree with me that this is not the same Leicester team under Ranieri. Running down Iheanacho just so as to prove ur earlier assertions or assessments of him in your previous discourses with other people is a bit unfair.

What makes a boat float is not what makes a plane fly and so we have to be objective when we discuss. I never ran down Vardy to make Iheanacho look good. You have to look at the way Leicester team is set up wholistically. Personally, I cant say I am surprised at the result they got. I couldnt care less if they scored after Iheanacho was subbed. I care more about the quality that comes to fore when a coach plays with attack in mind.

With the way leicester is set up, Iheanacho needs our prayers!

femianski:
just pray that nacho will not be called a flop
the English media eyes are on him
the commentator was just mentioning his name throughout the game yesterday even when he was not in possession
kelechi is a very talented player but the rate at which you guys hype him in this thread is too much

Stop twisting the clear point I am making. Invite to camp is not trying in qualifiers. You obviously know the difference. So why feign ignorance?

As it stands, we do not know our best shot stoppers because we have not done a proper screening process. I remember how you backed and fought against changing Akpeyi until a foreigner had to come and carry out a screening process amongst the lot and Akpeyi lost his place.

Without a proper screening and selection process, we will keep selling our self short.

We can play more offensively than we are doing now with a better attacking set-up.

forgiveness:


How can I take you seriously when you don't even know the year Ajagun played for Nigeria U17, huh?

Kelechi Nwakali and Victor Osimhen wey failed in there U20 exams, na em you wan take compare Ajagun wey pass U17 and U20 test wella even as a captain?

Thank God you are not in charge of his career else Ajagun wouldn't have played for the biggest club in Greece and now in Belgium constant.

Your Kelechi Nwakali and Victor Osimhen have both done nothing worthy of note to be compared with Ajagun who had done enough for both country and clubs so far, and they have virtually done nothing of worthy to be invited to the national team.

If there is any, tell me, what have dey done to be compared with Ajagun or to have merited a call to the national team.

My friend, National team is opened to 'ANY NIGERIAN PLAYER DOING WELL ABROAD'. Don't come here and start bringing down players to exaggerate that are still finding their foots in Europe.

We fit manage dem in the U20 were dem never pass common U20 exams.

Let dem goan pass exams before you come dey dash dem double promotion.

TheGoodJoe:


A team can still play offensively and maintain their shape at the back. So no one says we should be reckless.

chrisooblog:
i think he meant 2009 U17 world cup.

what he said about ajagun being overage is quite plausible. remember adosiye amesiemeka exposed the team captain fortune chukwudi of being an age cheat when he produced a picture of the guy in the feeders team of sharks of port harcourt. also the MRI scan process wasn't 100% then it was still random testing which ajagun could have avoided if someone like chukwudi could scale through.

so all this performing you say he performed during U17 and U20 would be a case of an old man bullying small children

like i have always asked what has ajagun done that makes him such a serious candidate for the super eagles? his club stats anywhere he has played are not exceptional. if like you always argue the NFF are deliberately ignoring him because of some phantom reasons why is it that no reasonable clubside has signed him? true talent always stands out no matter what

Icon4s:


You think it is only the back four players that are involved in the defense?

Against a superior opposition you need both wingers and midfielders as the first line of defense. This will only limit you to counter attacking style of play. It is not negative football. That is how to cope with a stronger opposition.

TheGoodJoe, you know I have advised you on this before: That coaching book Joe Erico(or who was it) gave you is not enough. You need to enrol in a proper coaching school. You Honestly need. That is when you can appreciate the realities on ground.

edi287:
Nacho and his agents are to blame if he flops at Leicester. Why this guy would choose getting a British passport over playing in teams like Monaco and Hoffenheim where he'd been under world class coaches is baffling to me. He HAS to adapt his game as Leicester aren't clearly going to build the team around him when Vardy is around. Such a shame clubs like Southampton weren't in for him...it'd have been much better than playing in this Leicester team.
To early to rule him out, but things aren't looking good for him.

TheGoodJoe:


My point is simple. We can play a more offensive set-up with a tweak in our selection. When you say using forwards (not midfielders) as the first line of defense, it depends on the set-up, whether offensive or conservative. The offensive set-up requires the forwards pressing to win the ball back. That is different from telling your forwards to sit deep (conservative).

I am not against pressing. That is part of an offensive strategy. Watch what Klopp and Mourinho did. Klopp pressed making it difficult for Manchester United to keep the ball. In such instance, the forwards are also the first line of defence.

While Manchester United cleared out and had sometimes all of their players sitting deep. That is negative play.

To have a good offensive approach first starts with the the coach making a decision to play in an offensive manner.
