You can have all the creativity you want on the wings. That is enough to keep football exciting.
Noo. The creativity has to be in the middle. In fact the entire attacking prong including the wings.

In the Benin match, when Ademola tried to beat the keeper and failed. The old generation of players would have chipped the ball over his head when he rushed out.

I'm suspecting him oo cos I'm seeing some kind PR pushing his name. Abeg they should allow Eguavoen. The players gell around him and with Eguaveon you can get Assistant 1.

You have spoken well.

And the fact is we have the tools to win at least four of our remaining matches weather home or away and get a draw, or even avoid defeat entirety. The momentum is also on our side currently.

The question is can AE utilize them well?

Based on the squad he assembled in just less than a week... After the whole foreign coach saga.. it should be possible, we've seen positive changes... So yeah

But the idea of DMs who play like that lingers

You are right , what you see now is the (CM) role in fooall! the traditional role of the CM as a game controller, dictating the pace and flow of the game, has evolved. Modern football has become more dynamic, with CMs now often required to be more versatile, defensive-minded, and athletic.

The days of the traditional "regista" or deep-lying playmaker, like Andrea Pirlo or Xavi, are indeed fading. Now, CMs are often expected to:

⁠Break up opposition attacks
⁠Win the ball back quickly
Distribute it simply to maintain possession
⁠ ⁠Support both defense and attack

While this shift has made the game more intense and physically demanding, it's true that the CM role might not be as creatively focused as it once was. However, there are still some exceptional CMs who can control the game's tempo and dictate the flow, like Kevin De Bruyne or Luka Modrić.


another Kante will come maybe in another 5 years ...

Besides Amodu I can't remember anyone else


Correct

There was sia1 too, though he filled the task,

Thing is am not sold out on AE yet, if he being Nff TD for more than 8years can't give us a pattern of playing style, is it now as a coach he can??

Getting Benin republic and Rwanda again in our group is a hugeee blessing in disguise... But many people that realize this...

The same thing I said. We need more looks at them for WCQ. We now know the Rwandan keeper is one to watch for.

Our performance against Rwanda away will give us confidence we can beat the home and away in WCQ and flip our fortunes around.

The way SA has been playing in AFCONQ also has me believing they will drop more points. It was two very very late goals that salvaged a point against Uganda and a win against a poor South Sudan.

We’re in a hard spot for WC but hope dey.

You just spoke mind...
The problem now is how to beat Rwanda GK... We need some who can shoot outside the box... A bit of unpredictability
Because before lookman and the rest go dribble enter the box... GK don set well to save the shot

As for SA those ones dey sabotage themselves with their hands

if we can hustle patriotically with our star talents on their red hot forms to win our two matches in march 2025 away Rwanda vs Nig
and in our Home against
Nig vs Zimbabwe we would close up on these 3guys that are on 7points
Rwa 7pts
SA 7 pts
Ben 7 pts
Les 5 pts
Nig 3 pts
Zim 2 pts
cos while we are busy winning our 2matches others are canceling out each other

MD 5(March 2025)
SA vs Les (Likely win for SA)
Zim vs Ben (Likely win or draw for zim)
Rwa vs Nig (Hopefully we can nick a 1-0 win)

MD6(March 2025)
Nig v Zim(Likely win for super eagles 1-0)
Ben v SA (Likely win or draw for Benin)
Rwa v Les (Likely win for Rwanda)

By the end of this 2match days…the group leader maybe leading us with 2points
Then we will have September(MD 7 & MD 8 to play our heart out…..our boys just need to play to their topmost level all these teams no reach, na we dey jonz
September is the best time to overtake, cos we will be playing
Nig v Rwa (Likely win for eagles)
SA vs Nig (sure banker draw match)
