South Africa Coach Baxter Reveals Plans To Stop Penalty Box Predator Ighalo South Africa coach Stuart Baxter has claimed that Bafana Bafana defenders will not man-mark Odion Ighalo when they face Nigeria in Wednesday evening's Africa Cup of Nations quarterfinal clash in Cairo. The former Watford striker has been Nigeria's most influential player at the ongoing tournament, having a hand in four (3 goals, 1 assists) of the five goals scored by the three-time African champions. And Baxter has revealed that one of the ways to nullify Ighalo's threat is simply to cut off supply to the Super Eagles number 9. ''We don’t make individual plans for players in terms of man marking. We would solve that as a team,'' Baxter said. ''We would make it difficult for them (Nigeria) to play quality balls to their strikers and would defend like we normally defend. ''That is part of the ways you can make individual strategies to certain players. Being a central striker, Ighalo will fall into the back four as a unit, and we’ll screen the midfield which will make it difficult for him.'' Ighalo specializes in scoring from inside the penalty area and all his international goals have come from inside the box with the exception of his opener in a 4-0 win vs Cameroon in September 2017. 1 Like |

TheGoodJoe:Let's just agree to disagree. Na small question I ask you, where you're thinking there's problem is what I don't understand. If Awaziem falls to the midfield, two things must be in place. The wingers must hold good ball retention capacities & Awaziem must be mobile enough to return to position if things go FUBAR. Its not like using Inverted fullbacks just affect the back and maybe the middle, its a tactic that must be ingrained in the team from GK to the outfielders. Can we then use this in a competition (adhoc)? Its not like this situation was glaring Afconq, friendlies and even the first 2 group games, is it? |

soetanoreoluwa:A mixture of cutting into the box, feinting and Outside shots would do. Alex must come with his shooting boots that's all |

jihday: Using Akpeyi as a shooting practice today ... we re in for long thing ���� But no be when they get opportunity to shoot? ... when Musa Ighalo and Simon or any of our attackers in their box 18 ... doing them strong thing , they will not remember we have a weak keeper ... cos their aim will be to take the ball off their half ... the best form of defense today will be a constant attack and starving them of the ball . 3 Likes |

Odunayaw: You are mixing it. The idea is about using the current set of players to attack. So talking Afcon and group games is out of the question. We have not been an offensive side. We play with our foot on the brakes. So now, how do we push forward when we know we have challenges in the middle. I am suggesting a full back becoming part of the defensive block when we are attacking. It takes training, discipline and perseverance to attack, not just to play with inverted full backs. |

komekn: Etebo was one of our best player at the world cup and he was playing in laliga then... Mikel has always been our best midfielder way before the Middlesbrough move... The championship has nothing to do with their performance this Afcon.. The championship isn't where u progress.. u just earn more money there... too many crap players and managers playing boring long ball football ... That's why the like of hull city and Norwich are lions in the championship but can't hold their own against the big boys in EPL . Look at Aina..Compare Aina of Hull city and the one of Torino....u will see a big difference... 11 Likes |

game day expect the southies to be brimming with confidence and arrogance to attack us. don't know why but i have this feeling Musa will be the difference between us. southy defence will be stingy so we need to maximize the few chances that will fall to us. very hopeful of victory LET'S GO SUPER EAGLES 1 Like |

soetanoreoluwa: I have never been sold to the idea of Chukwueze starting but I am beginning to think he should start. We really need someone confident enough to take on all BB defenders if possible. A problem I have is all our wingers are poor ball crossers (Musa, Simon, Iwobi, and even Chukwueze). Thankfully, they all have decent amount of skills and speed, and taking on the BB defenders and cutting inside remains our best bet in my view. |

Icon79: Mikel has DM won't work. Etebo as AM will turn out worse. . We are up against a South Africa team that are fast. maybe not faster than us but definitely fast. Mikel's legs are gone bro.. Its better he comes in the second half to stabilize the midfield (depending on the scoreline).. Iwobi despite his inconsistency remains our best bet at AM this AFCON |

Mikel not working as a DM is not because he can't do it but for some unexplainable reason he feels too big to play that role in the Super Eagles remember against argentina in the world cup rohr had to beg him to play that role. yeah Iwobi should start he stills brings that creative instinct even though it hasn't come to the fore so far at the AFCON Danielnino00: |

Danielnino00:I'm damn tired of the "they know his weakness bullcra.p " you people are tryna play today Please what's the weakness How many times have we suffered with the weakness Is he the only player in out team with a weakness?? And if indeed he's truly got a weakness like y'all making it to be, don't you think the coaches,GK trainer have some kind of counter to the weakness.... I'm not surprised if it's coming from the southi fans, well what do you expect, if I was a zuluman I would say the same, but coming from you that's crap....come to think of it, what's stopping the pirates or whatever supporters to get a Good goalkeeper, is the club so broke to afford one or there is really no better Goal keeper in the whole of South Africa to bench Akpeyi |
