Nigeria vs Argentina : Leicester City striker, Kelechi Iheanacho has told Super Eagles handler, Gernot Rohr to employ a 3-5-2 formation when they face Argentina in their crucial World Cup match on Tuesday.

The forward was one of the beneficiaries when the German coach opted to change the formation to a 3-5-2 system that worked so well in the second half of the 2-1 loss to England three weeks ago.

”It was a good result for us, we changed the formation and it wasn’t good in the first half but we came back strong in the second half,” Iheanacho told reporters in the mixed zone.

”They say the voice of people is the voice of God, but I think the coach has a big part to play, so he has to make the final decision at the end, so any formation that he comes out with, this formation is giving us what we want.

”We really worked a lot on set-pieces before coming to this game. African teams, they say we are not good in set-pieces, but we are working on set-pieces so we can be strong to fight against (teams) in set-pieces, corner kicks and free-
kicks.”

The Super Eagles avoided an early flight home after beating Iceland 2-0, with Ahmed Musa scoring a brace.

The 3-5-2 worked fine for us but I think Iwobi should start. Odion Ighalo must NEVER be allowed to go near the field

Shut up and play

Why

I quite agree Ighalo is slow and heavy same formation against Argentina

I would really love the super eagles to qualify. But let's call a spade what it is. Argentina knows what is at stake. You think they would let the eagles beat them? Even Fifa would prefer Argentina going through instead of Nigeria and different tactics would be employed to ensure the eagles lose. The super eagles are coming home.

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!! . How many likes for me.

He begs for passes so he can score now he begs for a formation to be used so he can do what sef..

Iwobi and Ighalo should never start

They took the match to Iceland in the second half. Very early in the Croatia match every one can see Nigeria was clumsy, passing and holding the ball too much, once one goal down it looks like it was over considering Nigeria don't come from behind to win at the world cup. Against Iceland, Musa and ihenacho provided the power and pace needed , Mikel playeed in front of the midfielders thereby giving him the chance to communicate with the fowards as a captain, and we're all celebrating with this result.

Against Argentina I'll like them to play a defensive game. Argentina have some of the best attacks as we all know but this is not a game we should attack else we'll get punished. I don't expect decisions/referee to be on our side, EU referees are bad for us as they protect big stars with fouls and game flows. If we can defend and watch those set pieces, we may have a chance.

Pablo zabaleta was talking on a programme and he said he saw Argentina practice and after practice Messi stayed behind when everyone was gone and he was practising free kicks and without his boots on ! So we should watch out for those set pieces.

Beggi Beggi players too have an opinion! mtcheww!

Iwobi should start from the bench I'm not impressed with that guy abeg

Ighalo should not be in that game sa

Formations doesn't win games...teams must learn to be fluid to the point of changing formations mid game...

They should play any formation they want even if it's 5-0-5 as long as they win the game..

I think so

Take your bad luck somewhere

Nawa, so as Argentina FA say Na their players go select their own team to play against Nigeria, Iheanacho also wants super eagles to adopt the same approach? Make Tuesday do quick reach sha.

So who is Iwobi suppose to replace?

Because them manage win one match, them don dey run their mouth like tap now. Shameless team.

Nigerians which day una mumu and
stupidity go end. Imagine people celebrating a win
against COMMON iceland like we
won the world cup. Only in this country can you
find such high number of mediocres
celebrating mediocrity. Even people wey their next meal
no sure dey follow dey celebrate
because we manage win iceland as if dem go pay you.
Mediocres everywhere in the country. Celebrating nonsense.

On tuesday after argentina don deal
with una finish, the good for nothing
super chickens go from russia move
go their various clubs.

When other countries are chaneling their energy into positive and better things, nigerians are busy celebrating a win against common iceland.

Very shameful and degrading.


I just can't wait for argentina to deal with
the super chickens and end all these nonsense high hopes you people are having.

Permutation year in year out, una no dey tire? I dey shame for una.

I thought only me noticed how slow Ighalo was.

Always standing in front like a pole...
Doesn't bite, doesn't mark.. Just there in the front doing nothing.

A flexible, fast and skillful Iheanacho, moses and musa is still perfect for now and for counterattacks.

Iwobi must step up his game if he wants to start.

Mikel must never come forward..
Let him continue with his back pass at the back.

It's not odions fault
He was isolated being a lone striker

That formation didn't work for anyone
