Josh Maja is still quite young. I feel he will come good at Bordeaux. He will now have the opportunity of a full preseason with the team.

Hence I said surprised not disappointed. I believe he'd come good alas

Who watched the Cameroonian women play the European champions? Though beaten but they really put up a great fight. I see a good opportunity for our girls to go through as the 3rd placed finisher in their group might finish with a point with my calculations work well.

Playing a 3-5-2 against Burundi will amount to an overkill. Let's save that formation for the knockout stages.

He's not as fit, as threatening as Chukwueze..... In my personal Opinion.

At the World Bruh.... This is AFCON, we shouldn't risk exposing our Defence, even though we are playing 3-Man CBs.

Exposing our defence? 3-5-2 if played well is Iron gate

It wouldn't offer you much offensively though

......but we are happily believing they've reached the stardoms already.

That are my Words.

They are average at best (good), not a star-studded Squad as many of you are portraying it. It's left for you to keep getting yourself confused, by looking for what's not lost.

Remember we will be playing with Wingbacks..... Attack-minded FBs. LVG succeeded with the Formation at the World Cup, but failed miserably with it at United.

Rohr has confirmed that one striker will be dropped. The other player could be a defender.

Super Eagles 3-5-2 Formation : Rohr Planning To Deploy Kalu, Simon As Wing-Backs In 2019 AFCON

Published: June 07, 2019


Super Eagles 3-5-2 Formation : Rohr Planning To Deploy Kalu, Simon As Wing-Backs In 2019 AFCON
Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr has hinted that Levante's Moses Simon and Bordeaux's Samuel Kalu will be deployed as left and right wing-backs respectively at the Africa Cup of Nations, if he goes with a 3-5-2 formation.

Simon was regularly deployed as a wing-back last season by Levante coach Paco López and Kalu was used as a makeshift right wing-back in the Super Eagles 1-1 draw against South Africa last November.

''We have them (strikers) but we have to drop one of them. Don't forget that we have wingers who can play as fullbacks like we did against South Africa with Kalu who was on the right side, right fullback and a winger the same time,'' Rohr said at Thursday's press conference attended by allnigeriasoccer.com.

''When we play 3-5-2 like we did against Iceland at the World Cup or we did in South Africa, there's also a possibility for Simon Moses to play like he did in his club, on the left side, so we have full backs which is also very good to know tactically.

''And then we have three strikers, Ighalo the goalscorer, we have Osimhen who did well with his club and is one for the future and we have one tall one.

''It is good for me but it is sometimes difficult for me to choose players. But I'm happy to have this good quality, so let's go with offensive spirit to the AFCON because we want to win our games.''

The vultures ready to eat Rohr must have slept when this was shared ...Oh well

Apart from Kalu and Simon, the other wingers named to Nigeria's provisional roster are Ahmed Musa, Henry Onyekuru, Samuel Chukwueze and the versatile Arsenal star Alex Iwobi.

Wingbacks attack or defend depending on instructions

Most times they beef up midfield, 3-5-2 usually against superior opponents so they'll be mostly defending

If you had said "average at best good" to start with then we won't be having this chat. But you didn't you said average and went on to compare their potential fate to that of the deplorable U20 squad. No wahala sha
