Joebie:
I like to see versatile forwards and midfielders. Considering match ups, it would be easy for the players to switch positions and be unpredictable.
Both Nwakaeme and Etebo can plays LWFs. Both can also play as CFs. Etebo can drop defensively as well at the midfield. And switch to RWF. Moses can play in both wings. He can even cut in while charging forward. That's dynamism. Between Ndidi and MIkel, we would need a dedicated holding midfielder. Our center backs need that cover. With Etebo and Moses at the wings, I think our not too dependable (defensively) full backs will get some support.

In Alampasu, we are see our own version of Donnarumma -- well, hopefully. And that would be the end of our era of average benchwarming goalkeepers..

oya make una come fight

Nigerdeltaboi:
ah never play there but I don hear gist wells, e good as AJ boys dey for this match

TheGoodJoe:
Dropping Omagbemi and her two assistants, Ann Cheijine and Perpetua Nkwocha is highly unacceptable. I wonder what Barr. Green is smoking. Someone should get that man out of that office.

DrKlever:
i swear this your formation is best suited for the current eagles players. but i think we can try it after all important Cameroon fixture, maybe in a friendly. my only issue with your selection is Awaziem... Aina trumps him in that position.

We can't ignore what he does week in week out. We also cannot ignore that our defense is sometimes leaky. From what I see Moses doing at Chelsea, he would have no problem marking out Bassogog even if it is on the left wing.

Akpeyi will remain first choice for now in Rohr's eyes.
Apart from Mikel, Ogu has to be the best passer among our CMs. Sure he's not quick, but he can dictate play from deep better than Onazi or Ndidi. He should've played against SA.

joseph1013:

It's an adventurous line-up that looks tantalizing. Of course we have never used it so it's too risky in the forthcoming competitive games, but something to think about during our friendly matches.

Something I like about this is that it plays to our strength as we have so many attacking players. In fact when we are at the back foot with the opponent attacking us from all angles, Ogu and Ndidi can also feature as CBs, so they can be deployed so we have 4 at the back, while Ogu and Mikel shield the defence.

Worth giving a look.

Nah, I don't think Rohr would ever risk starting team rookies like Nwakaeme and aina

do4luv14:



that had been the problem with our coaches, and the more reason why we always struggle to get going on national duty



play the players according to their strengths and position played at club level, and see wonders,


reason y I pick IGHALO as my CF against Cameroon

Icon4s:


This is a game we'll need to play to win.

Moses is too useful in our attack to be limited to the defensive role.

The crop of defenders in the list I believe are set out to do the defensive job.

We need to set up the team to win.

We, need not going back and forth on this cos Moses is already listed among the forwards

Icon4s:


Two factors you mentioned: " according to their strength and the position they play for in their clubs".
You can only play players according to how they play in their clubs if the team is sufficient in all departments.

I think playing them according to the strength of the players and the team holds more sway in the national team setup.

Typically national teams put players in make shift positions because of lack of depth in quality in some departments.

Eg Efe Ambrose featured at RB for Nigeria for many years because of lack of quality RB options.

John Utaka and Osaze Odemwingie were featured more in wing positions because of then lack of quality wingers.

Nani and Christiano Ronaldo were strikers for Portugal in the last Euros. Also David Alaba featured as an attacking midfielder for Austria.

Mikel is playing as an AM for the Super Eagles because he is the most suitable for that position for now.

The ideal is to have players playing in their natural positions but when the ideal condition is not attainable at a material time the available conditions are considered.

Chisom Egbuchulam excited to fire first hat-trick in Sweden


By admin -
August 24, 2017

Chisom Egbuchulam has expressed satisfaction after he scored his first-ever hat-trick in Sweden in the cup.

BK Hacken defeated Kvibille 9-1 in a second round game Wednesday night with Egbuchulam, who is on a season-long loan from Enugu Rangers, hitting target in 16th, 51st and 72nd minutes.

He also provided two assists.

“I am happy to get my first hat-trick and two assists in our FA Cup…thank you Jesus,” he celebrated on Twitter.

The winger whose goals helped Rangers to an historic league championship last October has gradually found his feet in Europe after his delayed arrival in Sweden.

I want Mikel pushing up as far front as he can go threading passes to attacking players and defending from the front not back. But with his focus on attack.

Joebie:
I agree, he is a better threat at attack than defense. Should he be more defense minded, do we have the forwards that are good enough to do the job? That's the situation in Chelsea. However, our full backs are not dependable in terms of helping us protect our goals. So either way, i'm not comfortable.
