Happy idowu is back, expect a better defensive display even though we should beat north korea. Idowu is disciplined.. Ifeanyi ifeanyi was too forward minded.

The third man in the mid field need to complement his hard work otherwise same thing would happen assuming North Korea is a decent team. In super 6 and AYC, they all worked hard for each other. There was balance, cohesion and very good link with the forwards. Nwobodo provided that. Like idowu, he worked hard, scored goal, won balls, tackled hard, returned when they were under pressure to cover the back four, he also supplied killer passes like when they played Ivory Coast, remember his pass to Pyagbara.

There was no donkey or baboon in the mid field. Against Brazil, iheanacho was given a free role while Ifeanyi the work horse was sacrificed. The result, iheanacho didn't defend well. Messed up his passes which were easily intercepted by the Brazilians. Sometimes he floats the ball into empty space which neither Awo nor success could reach and when under attack, he didn't provide the missing synergy witnessed in AYC and Super 6.

If Idowu comes in, work his a..rse off but some thing happens, he would be frustrated and end up over working, exhausting himself and even getting injury. That match was very tensive and they should have defended as a core unit instead delegating that to one or two particular individuals.

[size=14pt]Injury rules out Flying Eagles Ifeanyi Matthew[/size]



Injured El Kanemi Warriors midfielder Ifeanyi Matthew has been ruled out of Thursday’s must-win U20 World Cup Group E game against North Korea at Stadium Taranaki in New Plymouth.

Matthew has not trained since he suffered a foot injury in the Brazil match.

“He is out of the match, but he will be available for selection for the match against Hungary on Sunday,” said team doctor Ozi Salami.

Matthew will most likely be replaced by ball winner Akinjide Idowu, who was an ever-present at the African Youth Championship in Senegal in March.

The Flying Eagles other injury doubt Isaac Success returned to training on Wednesday after he stayed out of the work out the previous day over a tightness of his hamstring.

confun:
exactly sir they should have defended as a core unit.as a team

tbaba1234:
likely line up

Enaholo, muhammad, nustapha, ndidi, bello, ifeanyi, idowu, sokari, Ezeh, bulbwa, Awoniyi

lexyman:



If we go by this line up we will see a lot of long range shot from Bubwa . Nothing like that against the Brazilian .

rabzy:
Why is Isaac success not in the line up. Except he has an injury i still prefer him as a point man to Taiwo. Taiwo seems to need a lot of chances before he scores like arsenal strikers.

tbaba1234:


He had a strain but he will probably come in as a sub, coach was angry that he and yahaya were not tracking back to help the defence.

linked:
Watch out for a better game come tomorrow... Anyway @ tbaba1234 welcome from your vacation

EagleScribes:


What about Musa Yahaya? I would have preferred Saviour as a sub

moneyallowed:

Exactly. Yahaya grabbed a goal and assist. I'll understand if Success is injured but it doesn't make sense benching our biggest goal threat after one game

kellycute:
If nacho and yahaya aint starting the match against korea, we go lose. I won't even wanna bother myself watching if they both aint in the starting eleven.
