Let's go back memory lane to USA94 and look at where the 7 goals we scored in total. Nigeria vs Bulgaria 3:0(first goal came from the wings through finidi for yekini to score. SECOND goal also came from the wings from yekini to amokachi to score. THird goal also came from the wings for amunike to nod in a flying header.
Second game against Argentina, the only goal came from siasia from the middle.
THIRD game against Greece, it was a lob from deep midfield to finidi to score and the second goal scored from center of the midfield by amokachi who took on 4 defenders to score. Looking at our games and goals scored, I think we should go for 4 3 3 formation...... Contribute yours.

you cant possibly think that an old formation, with a certain bunch of players, would work the same on a different set of players, 20yrs later.

the formation back then was great, but you know what was greater, there was FANTASTIC players in that team, like Yekini, Amokachi, Amunike etc who played well together and understood each other. can you say the same thing about the Nigerian players of today?! who would you compare in today's squad to Amokachi or Yekini?!?!

3-5-2

Ebuehi RWB
Moses LWB

Those 2 will provide width

Etebo, Ndidi and Mikel to give a nice balance of brawn, energy and guile in the midfield

Omeruo, Ekong and Balogun to provide experience and youth in a solid back 3

While Musa and Simy provide pace and height and interlligent runs upfront

Let’s get back to basics, African football is about energy and pace because we will never out-pass or out-organise the Europeans

We can also invert the triangle in the midfield by asking Etebo to play box to box and join the attack leaving Ndidi to sit and provide permanent protection for the defence

balogun ekong ogu


moses mikel ndidi ebuehi


... iwobi


ighalo iheanacho/musa

3 4 3 formation based on the assessment of nigeria in d england and czech

Too much faith on Iwobi

The guy no dey mark ball, he does not have that will to win that makes a footballer fight for every ball

Iwobi will be great in 4 years but he is not ready yet.
