Oga we will try them out in the same set-up after the AFCON and it will become obvious that they need a totally different set-up.

Have you ever studied this current pattern and why it suits only VO9?

You will need to change our formation and tactics if you are to start other strikers.

Other Strikers will not be able to score against SA in this current set-up, not forgetting the game against SA in Uyo where Iheanacho started and we were beaten 2-0.

Morocco could not even score this SA team.

You expect Moffi or Iheanacho who will be needing a totally different set-up, with about 2 creative midfielders to be able to score to start.

These other Strikers are not anywhere close to Osimhen.They won't even be able to give an "A" game in this set up.

Try checking the requirements of a 9 in this particular set-up and you will realise that Osimhen Trumps the other by a margin of 30%.

Iheanacho is not as fast as Osimhen.He lacks the work rate of Osimhen.How will he be able to cope?

Don't you know it's Osimhen's pace,movement , aggression,fighting spirit and runs in anticipation of a through ball and ability to get on the ball b4 the opponent(counter attacking attributes) is what makes him better suited for this set-up.

Iheanacho lacks the above qualities.

Moffi comes close but will only give 50% of what Osimhen has given so far.

Please this is the AFCON where Iheanacho and Awoniyi failed to get a goal in the R16 against Tunisia in the last edition.

Most of the chances we claim Osimhen misses, were created by his movement and counter attacking attributes.

We have been playing Strikers with defensive attributes in this set-up, as defending starts from the front.

This is what has brought us far in the tournament.

I rest my case.

Uncle kc and Moffi can't score in this setup, how many has Osimhen scored in this setup that was made just for him. Bringing up R16 with a different coach and Uzoho abi maduka in goal to buttress your point. I'll say it again God forbid but if Osimhen can't play our next match Nigeria will not lose. You forget Moses and lookman contribute as much as Osimhen in this so called setup you keep calling. You don't even see how Bassey, aina and ekong have been key in this setup, but what you keep saying is if Osimhen don't play Nigeria will lose because he's Messi abi Ronaldo (R7 even sit on the bench for Portugal)

EEGA:
We should forget the trophy if anything happens to VO9.

These your other strikers can't play under this system.

Iwobi plays a defensive role(DLP), in this set up.

You will need to change our formation and tactics if you are to start other strikers.

Uncle as I said before forget this talk, who believe before that iwobi can play this defensive. Maybe if he was not in this tournament person like you will say he can't play under this system. Moffi and kc can play under any system and even play it in a better way that you will end up preferring it to what you are seeing. The team is winning reason why I won't advocate for a change of personnel. But saying we will lose because Osimhen is not playing baba na lie.

talk2docee:
So is it at this stage... The coach should be making 'try and error'? what are friendly matches and group matches meant for?
Osimhen is not injured, you want to bring in Moffi? All because he has not scored more goals as a striker? He contributed to all the goals scored in this tournament! Abeg make una leave that guy! He remains a threat to opposing teams...

I repeat if Osimhen does not start that match against South Africa... Then let's forget finals!

Uncle forget this talk, Nigeria can still win this tournament with or without Osimhen. Yes he's very important to the team but that doesn't make the other strickers less. Team work has been the back bone of this team not one player brilliance. Na southy we dy play, any of the other strickers can come and perform exceptionally well. Personally I want him in the game but saying Nigeria will lose because he's not there, uncle na lie,

charlesemeka85:
u sabi watch ball?

He no sabi, na left eye and one nyash he dy use sidon watch ball

Joebie:
Based on what na? Eye test?

Abeg help me ask am, uncle base on what

EEGA:
We have not conceded since we adopted the 3-4-3 formation in this tournament.

Osimhen can instigate a come-back.

Peseiro has been doing well,it's no fault of his that Yusuf who should have paired Iwobi limped off injured against EQG.

Iwobi and Onyeka has built a very good Chemistry in this tournament, so it's too late to drop either of them.

He has been correct with his defensive subs ,but that of Onuachu is just a sub to hold on to a lead.

For me bring in Aribo for Onyeka in our last game wasn't a good defensive sub in my view.

opes:
The female referee in the match against Guinea Bissau yellow carded Bassey for wasting time for throw-in. Another yellow yesterday again

i believe all card's are swipe off after the group stage or the 2nd round if I'm not mistaken.

Marjoribanks:
Strongest? How? Guinea Bissau played better than them. They committed a lot of fouls to disrupt our game.

The only time they had control of the game was when Onyeka and Osimhen went out injured for few minutes and sebsequently subs off!

We could have killed them off in the first 50 minutes!!

I'm surprised when people say Angola is the toughest match we have played, they should go watch the both Guinea game. Against Bissau is was a psychology thing, they just beat Nigeria not too in our home, so that believe was still there that they can do it again.

Joebie:
That’s the point. Seems Onuachu is given the one instruction to hold on the the ball and delay play. Peseiro gave Angola too much respect.

too much respect, this is a game Nigeria could have won 3-0

Odunayaw:
Angola was a real test.

for me Angola wasn't that good jpes have them the opportunity to shine.

Mujtahida:
Who else usually finds it difficult to do anything wheen Nigeria has a match and when we win, you marinate in the feeling for days?

Those of us wey no get club, na SE be our club oo

like I went with my fuel rubber to work

lexyman:
Simon was the light in the last Afcon ... his playing style has gone from bad to worse , i just hope he rediscovers himself

light wey no carry Nigeria cross second round

All out, Nigeria 🇳🇬 is the top most rank team left in Afcon

Ppogbae:
These Supersport commentators really feeling themselves huh

like no be small, can't wait to see their faces when SA is kicked out.

Icon4s:
Why are we always playing Argentina? We dey forbid to play Brazil?

maybe Nff and Afa have a bilateral relationship, same with the Mexican fa

orriyomi33:
International friendly.
Nigeria 🇳🇬 vs Argentina 🇦🇷

if I'm not mistaken, Argentina and Mexico are two teams outside African that Nigeria have played most.

Goke7:
and that has been the bane of our national team where these sports analysts will be promoting players who are not better than what the coach knows, imagine keshi did not insist on players like mba, oboabona, emenike and co. I remembered how they crucified keshi on top lke uche matter

If another coach should do the same thing keshi did by dropping a player of Ike Uche caliber, I'll still join people to crucify him. He can only shut us up by producing results

Mujtahida:
I'm just in awe of Osimhen. All I can say is thank God he is a Nigerian

Italian mafian spirit don enter that guy, see the way he ginger the fans

Koboko99:
His first kick after he came on didn’t even reach the center circle. I just shook my head

You saw that too, my morale drop

comodo:
It dey easy to put 2 goals for net??

i it's not easy to put 2 pk for net.

comodo:
I no gree for this one. It should be Niasse the long GK of Mauritania

But you gree for Jordan Ayew

CornOak:
Ivory Cost have sacked their coach.

what Have their exit from Afcon been confirmed or someone else will handle the team if they qualify for the next round.

Joebie:
Yea that GB goal was legit. Osimhen’s rightly wasn’t

the gb goal wasn't legit, the guy was offside, go rewatch the match. Osimhen and zaidu goal wasn't offside but hand ball.

Mujtahida:
I detest all these charlatans masquerading as MOGs who give football predictions. The high office of pastor has been reduced to a farce. You will never see catholic priests indulge in such senselessness. It's always these pentecostal hustlers.

Before our match against GB, I watched a YT clip of Iginla saying he had a dream about the match and that what he saw was not good but that we should pray. I didn't finish the clip. The crassness of the whole thing was irritating. See wayo man. Now that the match has been played and naija won, he will say that it was the prayers that averted what he saw. I'd rather listen to Paul the octopus than any pastor who gives football predictions.

God does not play dice - Albert Einstein

God bless you my brother. Very annoying. If Tb joshua was still alive he would have given his own prediction.

JayromWrites:
I think she raised her hands for offiside but then, CAR upon review noticed the hand ball and just decided it was proper to continue play.

What I didn't understand was the decision to cancel The Guinean's goal. I thought it was a close call, at least, a line should be shown for transparency

GB goal was a clear offside. Both Nigeria goals wasn't offside but on both occasions the ball was judge to have touched the hand of Osimhen.

Odunayaw:
Shoulder. That ref was in a hurry to keep the match going

And Var never called her attention.

Ghana Fa just annoce the sack of Chris Houghton,

TheLoneCitizen:
Can someone kindly explain this decision?

i think the call was for a hand ball against Osimhen. Because it was clearly not offline.

GeneralDae:
There was no Messi and a few other key players in the friendly.

Bro Messi was the difference, other key players was in that match.
