Watching Cucurella today keeps my mind drawn to Aina. I believe if we give Aina a more controlling and tactically demanding role, we would have more controlled performances.

Aina has more to offer the Super Eagles and I feel we are not making the most of him.

If I am the West Ham management, I will be screaming at Lopetegui for that earlier horror show.

Lopetegui should stay true to his system and play the ones that suit him. It was a far better setup with Irwing dictating play and Soler roaming.

Irwing must be starting all games, he is the best that suits the system. Congratulations to the blues.

Lavezzi is Argentine

Thank you. Sorry for the mix-up. The Cavani Lavezzi playing together at Napoli is what confused me. Thanks again.

This Jackson's goal is one brilliant tactical masterpiece that needs studying. It was beyond cerebral. Kudos to Maresca

Make we dey look bros

Victor Osimhen is 60% responsible for his current predicament. There is a way to approach such racism and conflict with wisdom because any wrong move and your career is at stake but no...Nigerians online kept egging him on. Now see. Even that first game people were hyping was less than impressive. How do you go from Top 10 in world football to playing in Turkey?

As for Boniface, leave that one. He is one player whose age I believe because he acts immature (true to his age). I feel when he goes on a goal drought and becomes the target of racist fans in Germany, he will sit up. He hasn't experienced clapback from fans, hence his silly behaviour


I don't understand why you want to blame Osimhen. PSG came with a fantastic deal and his club sabotaged it. The club attacked him racially with him being their best player.

I don't know anyone in the history of football being treated this way. The reason Osimhen is in Turkey is because he did not want to work with the slave terms of Napoli.

When Osimhen does wrong, I will support any critique against him but in this case, you are off tangent.

If I knock your head. Mikel does not have one percent of both talents. He was just a peripheral ball passer and was lucky to play for chelsea. He didn't do anything spectacular

Watch the clip below and understand how bright Mikel Obi's talent was.

But what do you guys think about a front 3 of Lookman, Osimhen and Boniface playing as attackers from the left, middle and the right?

Can it work?



I always prefer a manager having a mental picture of how his team will setup to play and pick players to fill each role that they fit. Not trying to shoehorn players into a squad and create a system to play them.

Forlan, Suarez, Cavani worked. They even played Lavezzi, Forlan, Suarez, Cavani all played together for Uruguay and were devastating to their oppositions.

Yes it can work but we need to keep in mind that we have Ejuke, Simon Moses, Chukwueze, and Nathan Tella to consider.

Martins moment I can't forget was he goal against ac Milan where he turned was it Maldini can't recall the defender. But for SE emenike has more memorable moments.

That was the first match I watched Martins. I think it was his champions League debut. I got to see him after all the hype and yes, it was Maldini he beat to score.

It is criminal to pick Ndidi ahead of Onyedika. The gulf in class is too much.

Said this in June this year. Seems it still continued. No disrespect meant to Ndidi.

So the praise came from Nuri Sahin. A guy I have respected for years.

Still Peseiro went to the Afcon and left Onyedika on the bench.

Dinho was in his element yesterday so much so that everyone, including the coach of BVB is singing his praises even though his team lost the match.

Nice post.

Glad to read that Onyedika had a good game. He is such a gem and I hope he makes a move to a quality club soon.

If Osimhen doesn't match Gyokeres G/A average at Galatasaray, then he is not even close to a world class striker.

Happy Osimhen day. It begins tonight.

Osimhen has already proved he is world-class by being among the top 10 players in the Ballon d'Or list.

Machine football which is cold and efficient. Like video game but no flair, no individuality, no spirit, no soul, no razzmatazz, no beauty, no creativity, no spark. Just drab and endless kick about of the ball.

You are just exposing that you really don't watch football. Learn to study evidence.

This video alone shows that you don't even know what you are talking about.

Very nice to see. I hope he succeeds in Spain. Looks like a promising talent.

Interesting to see he has a YouTube channel to promote himself. Other local players should take a cue from him.

I am a huge fan of Dries Mertens. When he played the false 9 position, it was close to perfection.

Noo. The creativity has to be in the middle. In fact the entire attacking prong including the wings.

Modern day football aims to have a very high line of defence and large chunk of offensive players. Due to this the opposition covers a lot of the space in front of the 18, which makes it the most difficult spot to keep the ball for long.

So you can't have someone who dwells on the ball there. That is why you have Vinicius, Doku, Grealish, Foden. Bernardo Silva, Mahrez, Lamal, Inaki Williams and co. wide most of the time.

The Creative midfield is occupied most times by fast thinking players that also contribute to attack too. Not flair.

I thought some Osimhen fanboys were screaming here that he apologized in private to finidi?

The way people disrespect Finidi over this Osimhen matter, you would think he was just one scrap footballer.. Finidi was once the best right winger in the world.. Osimhen can’t even lace his boots!!! I am glad finidi did the right thing by leaving.

There are truly no consequences for bad behaviour in Nigeria, that's why Nigeria is where it's.

The foolish NFF set a bad precedent for allowing Osimhen back to the team without apologizing to Finidi.. Useless lots.

It is okay. Finidi George has moved on. He is only talking about it because of media questions. Move on too.

Finito.

Goke7:


but you're not a great fan of wing play

Why will you think so? Guardiola whose style is what I adore a lot has a lot of wing play. It just that it should not be direct but built.

The movement and ball transition helps disorganize oppositions.

The wing players help stretch the opposition to create gaps in the center to attack and also help widen the half spaces too.

I am not disputing Fisayo's movements, he is very good when it comes to getting into the right places to receive a pass.
I understand your fascination with Fisayo, Fisayo is built for the possession game. It is very clear.

However looking closely at the point you made "He always goes to block dangerous areas.
This is something that every outfield player does on the pitch, Fisayo is even one of the poorest when it comes to reading the opponents from a defensive point of view.

He always goes to block dangerous areas and yet couldn't intercept a single pass.

Not intercepting does not mean he did not get into position to help restrict offensive play of the opposition. He movement was nice and he got into good defensive positions. He had a good game.

Kante buried them pata pata, those creative midfielders.

This idea of playing as a team to the point where individual expression of brilliance is frowned up and gradually being stamped out is the reason why football is drab.

You can have all the creativity you want on the wings. That is enough to keep football exciting.

I pointed out his inability to create play the day we played Rwanda. Anyone can play one touch football ,all you need is communication. But Dele Bashiru is not that creative player we have been yearning for.

I haven't seen the Ojediran and Uche play. Until then, we don't have a reliable creative midfielder

Tell me which central attacking midfielder you know in any top club that plays the way you are yearning for?

Creative midfield is no more a one man show but a team work business.

Yes, he will help keep the ball high up in the opposition's half because he is very tidy with short passes.
No one in the team bests him in the game of accurate short passes.
His movements are very good.
He is a fine dribbler, and can score goals.

However, He is not that creative, this limits him in the attacking midfield role and his poor showings in contributions to defense throws him further down the pecking order in our midfield setup.
You will only notice Bashiru when we have the ball, but without the ball he just strolls.

In my opinion, his uniquenesses does not gift us any advantage, he lacks in the very things we need the most.
We need midfielders who can put in decent defensive shifts.

We need very creative midfielders

We need midfielders with a sound reading of the game

Hamzat Ojediran and Christanthus Uche are the midfielders we should be discussing about.

Alex lwobi and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru are more like forwards to me.

We need genuine midfielders.

I actually disagree with your view on Fisayo here. One place he shone for me yesterday was how he covered defensive gaps. He might not go haywire in pursuing opposition players with the ball but if you watch his movement, he always goes to block dangerous areas. This makes him important in defense.

Saw somewhere they're trying to push siasia for the job

I just dey laugh better they allow AE manage the team for the nations and world cup qualification phase

Samson Siasia is a better tactician. At least he can get our players to keep the ball on the ground and pass it around. He can also get the team pressing to keep the opposition off the ball.

The only problem is Siasia's strong head. The players must calm down.

What exactly will Dele offer in this setup.

Fisayo Dele Bashiru is intelligent in one touch play and will compliment the others in helping us keep the ball high up in the opposition's half and the tree of them can also create good chances for forwards.
