I didn't know coaching is this easy until I came to this thread

Everybody with its own formation,analysis and preferences

I can't just stop laughing

lexyman:


your fingers were too fast ...

OMANBALA1:


Are you gonna be using Shehu and Idowu as wing backs or what? If so, how well do you think they can adjust in that role....Remember we have tried Shehu there and it was disastrous.

junnyjake:

Over welcome, na him DE worry you so o..

Icon4s:


Na me be coach? Why you come dey beg me? Abeg o..... hahahaha

I want Omanbala1 to come and explain to us how playing Shehu as a Wing back was a disaster.

Did he even watch the match?

whizola:
And about iheanacho he is not the on striker having a poor control ability, lukaku has a bad control, but doesn't mean the end of the world for him. I hate the way will write off players

Icon4s:


It is because they have been playing against European teams who also play organized football.

I saw their coach the other day making mouth that they can beat us because we are not organized. I just laughed.

Let them face us first and we will disorganize them with our unpredictable style of play.

Our team is unpredictable. That is a major strength. Some opponents see us as a team which likes to build attack slowly while some say we are quick in building attack.

Go look at all our WC qualifiers we approached each game almost differently.

The versatility of our players did not help matters for our opponents. As you are planning to stop Iwobi from doing damage from the wings, he starts from a more central position. As you are planning to stop Etebo from the CMF he starts from the AMF position. Moses can initiate attacks from both the left , Right and centre. Maybe that is why the Icelanders see us a not organized meanwhile that versatility is our strength.

Argentina are still Wondering how we managed to beat them in that friendly.

Humility017:

so you will play elderson as a wing back....?
someone who could not make a simple cross all through the World cup qualifers...

please bro...I rather we play Aina there.
elderson should just sit on the bench all through the tourney...

lexyman:



Etebo has really dropped form , same with Onazi, i hope they come back to that work horse we know them to be . SE will become a case study come next world-cup ...somany analyst willcome up with different write up ... its glaring this will happen .

tbaba1234:


Onazi dropped form How??

Onazi was easily one of Nigeria's best players in the game against Cameroon.

Icon4s:


Na me be coach? Why you come dey beg me? Abeg o..... hahahaha

I want Omanbala1 to come and explain to us how playing Shehu as a Wing back was a disaster.

Did he even watch the match?

lexyman:



The Onazi i saw was a shadow of him self , you need to watch other games , and dont judge by that cameroun match , most of the players performed above average in that match .

OMANBALA1:


When I am not drunk. Left for me Elderson will sit on the bench.

CityJoe:


Nsofor has managed to find his best form in recent weeks hitting the back of the net five times in his last three games.

I guess you skipped the bolded and continued hammering on three goals. Nsofor was brilliant for West Ham.

Humility017:

I remember keshi dropped him for G rubben and many of his players...prior the world cup in 2014...he was in the provusonal list...

I pray he stay fit...I will want him over etebo...

CityJoe:


“West Ham is too big to play in the lower league. I want to apologise to the fans because they don’t deserve a championship treatment. It is still like a bad dream,” Nsofor said.

According to the Super Eagles forward who was loaned from Malaga, the club forfeited its top status as a result of several factors on and off the field.

“Too many things went wrong, from the board, to the coaches and the players. We had a good team but our coaching crew did not know how to use the type of players at its disposal. The coaches were just incapable”.

He said that Grant decided to limit his role after he came back from the month long injury he got in the 1-0 loss at Birmingham and gave more time to other players.

"I trained hard after I came back from the injury but the coach and his back room staff felt I was not good to start. It is quite frustrating. The fans thought I should be playing, but it is the manager who decides and you can’t challenge him on that count,” Nsofor said.

elyte89:



Am still saying it,instead of dropping etebo for Joel,I would rada substitute a slot to accommodate d two

Or better still,ogu won't go ,


Etebo on his gud day, its better Dan any midfielder asyde Mikel(DT Algeria home match is an example,so versatile



BTW,AGU STILL dey too na,d guy fit go,cos rohr like d guy.

OMANBALA1:


I watched the game and Shehu was ineffective on that wing. Maybe disastrous was too harsh but he did do well, unlike Ebuehi that nailed it.

whizola:
Pls will you stop judging the guy by his previous world cup performances that's about 3years ago mehn, spare the guy some slack . How many games did he even play in the world cup?, he has grown as a player. And about is dribbles, well he once had the most completed dribbles in a league season

tbaba1234:


Onazi was outstanding in both legs...Outstanding

Icon4s:


If Rohr should line up a 4 defenders set up, would u rather he starts Ebuehi or Shehu at RB?

blueto:
Ebuehi should start as a WB if the coach is to play with the 3-5-2 formation. And Shehu should start if the coach is to approach the game with a 4 man defence formation.

Icon4s:


You are also among those of us that believe Moses should feature as a forward and not as a WB.

...still waiting for Omanbala1's response

Icon4s:


It is Iwobi that I recommend would oin the midfield when on the offensive. I only used that Zmabia game to show we did it using Iheanacho for that role.


See what I would recommend:

When on the offensive:

..........Iwobi....Ihenacho

Moses..........Mikel....................Simon
Ndidi

Idowu...Balogun...Ekong...Shehu


When we are Chasing the ball or when the midfielders are not getting the ball well enough to the forwards, Iwobi drops a little deep:

......................Iheanacho
moses..............Iwobi.............Simon

............Ndidi............Mikel

That is why I said it will be a switch between 4-4-2 and 4-5-1 without necessarily making any substitutions.

Ogu and Onazi are not on my starting list.

forgiveness:



Leon Balogun.
Troost Ekong
Awaziem
Echiejile

These are confirmed players going to the WC.

I will prefer we go to the WC with 7 of these players if Idowu is included because he can play as a CB and DMF too. And we also have Ndidi who can as well play comfortable on the CB position. Awaziem is also capable of play as a DMF.

I think Rohr should test them in those role in friendlies.

goldfish80:

Fans are fickle. They can say whatever they like. Just like you said not so long ago that Kelechi was better than Mbappe.

CityJoe:


Childish jibe. I have repeated my point over and over again. Kelechi Iheanacho is one of the most lethal finishers around. What Mbappe and co. have ahead of him is more all round play. It took me time to decode it, I am willing to learn. Now I get it. I keep studying Gabriel Jesus to understand what Guardiola wants.

As for the finishing, I rate Iheanacho ahead of them but I want Nacho to work hard to add more to his game.
