Oga,forgiveness just relax and dey look oh.....my third eyes dey tell me sometin and if it's true then dis country no go better.

Kog45:
Sadiq Umar is just like Paul Onuachu so team need to play to their strengths.

forgiveness:


Is it because we won Egypt, you think dey are a weak team?

Without Moses Simon, there was no way we could have scored not to talk of winning.

TheGoodJoe:
Awoniyi

My take on this young man is one word. Flawless.

He did exactly what was wanted of him. Keep the Egyptian defenders uncomfortable. When they are with the ball and when they are not. I think it had to do with spotting gaps and creating chances for threats.

This ruptured the shape of the Egyptian defense and created gaps for the other forwards to exploit.

However, he needs to get his finishing game on if we get chances of scoring early and have more gaps to exploit.

andrewbaba44:


Wow ,he shed tears ?

Omo dude is to determined to play for naija abeg

Ona nor sure say na TheGoodJoe be that guy for SE camp sef? Giving us a hint with his Blue shoes.

I was just about to reply the post where you asked me to give my preferred line up, i decided to scroll down to read some more posts before replying, and then i saw this.

You should have been patient.

Mr Kog45, It is well.

Kog45:
Oga meli,you will be a very radical coach cos am seeing you dropping at least three players today against Sudan.

Mujtahida:
Who else noticed that Eguavoen is eloquent. He talks fluently

TheSuperNerd:
Lol... I am sure he will have his "tactical" reasons and only if those will yield a mad victory then why not?

For me, I would have only made one change. Just one.

Was initially gonna be two but I feel introducing that 2nd change can come later in the second half.

But like I already said. The same XI vs Egypt can definitely get the job done vs Sudan and win good.

The only difference is in how many would we actually score and what degree of dominance would we actually exert?

This is the difference between my one change and the likely starting XI today.

Kog45:
Yes,if we go by our different tactical reasons,definitely one of two players would be dropped but coaches don't joke with winning XI especially when it comes to national team.

I think we need to see talented Chuckwueze again though he was the only starter that didn't got it right against Egypt

TheSuperNerd:
Cameroun made a couple of changes to their "winning XI" from the first game vs B/Faso. Selah.

Morocco also made 3 changes from their vital win over Ghana. Selah.

You can change a winning team, Uncle Kog. Especially when it tactically and technically uplifts the team going forward and induces even more balance

In the end, we would likely play the same first XI and they will have our support as always.

Parrot69:

If we have this kind of setup with a better defense and a better Goalie, I swear who be Belgium!! ;

Kog45:
Ebuehi is a real cool guy with gentility.I know little about him recently through my brother ex Venezia player who dem dey roll together in Italy.

Ebuehi real nice guy who nearly shed tears when he received his late call up.

Joezinho:


Ebuehi is my favorite Super Eagle. I’ve been a big fan of Tyrone since early in his career but man, our fullbacks played so well last game, I just don’t see how you start him over them.

He's dedicated and gives his all whenevr he's called up or plays on the pitch. Thing is, both our RBs (Aina and Ebuehi) can play the LB position better than Collins..

Shehu is done.. I hope Eguaveon or any other sane coach doesn't makes space for such a pointless player, even though he has powerful backers in the NFF.

Nerdy kuku say you wan smuggle Nwakali inside that team

You can change a winning team that doesn’t impress ,Morocco didn’t impress against Ghana ,forget about the winning ,Cameroon didn’t do that good at their first game.

TheSuperNerd:
We were out-passed by Egypt. Yes we did impress. But how was our passing against a team we had more shots and corners against? See what I mean?

You don't just look at results sometimes. You should look at tactical and technical improvements.

And nope. Morocco impressed enough against Ghana. Ghana is an African powerhouse so that game was always gonna be close. They just didn't play to the standards that our own boys set.

TheGoodJoe:
I think the Super Eagles team is taking shape. One of the criticisms of Rohr was no clear playing pattern. I think we are getting there.

This leads me to Iwobi. Did not do much but I think we need to consider him as the ideal replacement for Aribo. I believe he is up to the task but the defensive coaching crew needs to get him up to speed with the defensive side of things. I feel if they get it right, Iwobi can play a big part in us winning this title.

Many things hinge on us getting things right on the tactical side of things.

TheSuperNerd:
It's not a smuggle if you put on your tactical/analytical cap.
If you critically analyse the complimentary strengths of the Ndidi-Nwakali-Aribo combo, you will find no better balanced MF trio option in our ranks right now.

Nwakali came in for 10mins. Just 10 mins. And we almost buried that game for good when he orchestrated that sweet counter transition with Ejuke. If not for Ejuke's selfishness, we would have walked away with a clean 2-0 victory. No caps.

So it's not a smuggle. It is trying to see us open up more channels of attack that will yield an even more Commanding result.

Also, Nwakali offers passing recycling and control in the middle in terms of conduction and dictation with passes. Long or short. We would not have been out-passed by Egypt with that MF trio. It hasn't been tried but from a tactical POV, I know it's the truth.

drDoom3:


It is not learning a different game o. Just incorporating a small and simple drill to help them with decision making in counterattacking situations. A 30-min drill like that per training day could be the difference between 1-0 and 3-0 like we saw against Egypt.

andrewbaba44:


African power house isonu

I watched the game and they took their only chance to score that goal against Ghana

andrewbaba44:


Who will you drop from that line up since you said you can make one changes
