Montaque: I think the bad pitch contributed to that. Coach Siasia and Amunike like their teams holding the ball. At Alexandria, they will play on a better pitch. I expect the Super Eagles players to reduce the long thrust of the ball and focus more on short passes. 1 Like |

I agree Ambrose should be dropped but truth is we can't afford that now. Based on the central defensive options we have in camp for such a crucial game, Ambrose is likely to pair Oboabona. Who will come in if we drop Ambrose? Kalu Orji?? Mprepz: |

Moses simon was my best player of d day. We must avoid set pieces against d North Africans, be it Morocco or Egypt. My fear was in dealing wit their corners and freekicks |

Aimuannose: The worst part of the thing is that, although the pitches in Uyo and Port-Harcourt are not as good as those in Egypt and South Africa, they are better than the Kaduna pitch. I wonder why Pinnick and his led NFF team chose to keep our foreign pros under tough conditions when they could get better conditions in Uyo and Port-Harcourt. 1 Like |

Ighalo should come on as a sub, so he can hold up the ball, Also musa should come in late to tire them out with pace Iwobi, Nacho,simon and Victor moses all should start 1 Like |

You speak of just one game of "off-targets" on a bad pitch. I speak of his actual ability and proven quality from freekicks. He struck the post from a 25 yards freekick against Swaziland in the first leg of last year's 2nd round WCQ. He then scored a near 25-30 yards freekick against the same Swaziland in the 2nd leg. Those are recent showings of Moses from Freekicks. He was just unlucky in Kaduna. Mprepz: 1 Like |

safarigirl: I also got to watch that game last night. Remember Renato Augusto's goal? Brazil's second goal that came from Neymar dropping deep and Renato running forward to receive the ball. ----------------Gustavo(DMF)-------------------Fernandinho(DMF)----------- --------------------------------------Renato(CMF/AMF)-------------------------------- Willian(SS)-----------------------------------------------------------D. Costa(SS) -------------------------------------Neymar(CF)------------------------------------------ A similar set up to the one I proposed. |

Mprepz: Ighalo is on a goal drought. Even Deeney can not help him. Iheanacho is one of the brilliant support strikers a striker can wish for but it did not work for Ighalo. It is time Ighalo reinvents himself. The likes of Cavani, Ibrahimovic, Lewandowski do more than wait for the ball. They run round the edges of the 18 yard box, drop deep, connect passes and shoot from far. |

ukandi1: Unless you are suggesting Azubuike, which I feel is a fantastic option, Etebo offers more offensively than defensively. We need a second defensive midfielder. I am not suggesting a two pivot system like a Yaya-Fernandinho combination. That is why we could play with Etebo in that game. I am suggesting Iwobi being the anchor of the play, with two defensive midfielders shielding the defenders. |

princemi: He will be a good sub when the Egyptians open up not when they are packing the bus Most people don't even recognize iheanacho is painfully one footed. |

princemi: He will be a good sub when the Egyptians open up not when they are packing the bus Most people don't even recognize iheanacho is painfully one footed.holding up the ball with one foot against 3 men is hard and when ur not very fast or very skillfull its a problem but his very intelligent with his runs and accurate with his shots that's if they would let him. |

ukandi1: Salah messed up the likes of Ramos and Marcelo in the Champions League repeatedly. So I do not think we should lay too much blame on Amuzie because he coped better with Salah than Marcelo did. Although I believe Salah will play better and will be deadlier at Alexandria. The pitch there is better than what he played on at Kaduna. That is why I am suggesting a second defensive midfielder to help double on Salah. Simon Moses should also be ready to support as he did in the last game. |

What do you mean by "painfully one footed"?? He's scored with his right foot for Man City this season so where does "painfully" come in?? Messi is equally one-footed for your info but is the best in the world so don't bring in "one-footedness" like it's some huge disadvantage. Nacho is naturally left-footed but uses his right also on some occasions. binhozie: 1 Like |

safarigirl: Do you see Ighalo as a striker who can drop deep to give the kind of passes Neymar gave consistently in that match? That is why I feel Ighalo is the wrong option against an organized Egyptian side. |

People advocating for echejile don't know the dude is now a slow poke salah will eat him alive at least Amuzie contributed a lot to the attack The mistake most people are making is thinking our most in form forwards are ighalo and iheanacho that's a lie your most inform forwards currently are Musa and Iwobi they should start. Iheanacho and Ighalo play better when they have partners to distract attention from them. And none of them is able to do it for the other in S.E Ighalo might perform if he has not necessarily a deeney like player, a player like moses can still suffice as an 8 behind him as moses will most likely beat one or 2 men constantly and free up space for him. |

TheSuperNerd: Iheanacho is not like messi He is a left footed Muller that cant nod the ball |
Re: Predicted Formation For Nigeria To Beat Egypt In Alexandria by TheSuperNerd(m): 12:37pm On Mar 28, 2016 |
Iheanacho is like Messi in many dynamic ways. He also has some muller and Pele traits. He also has some Silva traits. He's a #9 and #10 rolled into one player. He's a "Super Hybrid". And sorry to say you're wrong Sir. Nacho can nod the ball. He did so at U-17 level. He did so in pre-season for Man City. He can nod it really well but is yet to score a headed goal. binhozie: 1 Like |

binhozie: I believe Echiejile is not up to the task but I disagree on Musa and Iwobi being the in form forwards. Iheanacho showed in the last game what he offers. He does not need too much time to take his shot. His shots are accurate. He can drop deep to combine with the midfield. These are qualities that few of our forwards can boast of. I put Iwobi there strictly for his passes. I doubt we have anyone who can pass like him. 1 Like |

binhozie: Most of the runs will come in from the flanks. That is why Simon Moses and Victor Moses are at the sides/SS roles. They will play a kind of support striking role. They would not run to the wings to cross most times but make perpetrating runs. Just like the one Moses missed. Victor Moses gets the nod over Musa because it will take more than sheer pace to beat the Egyptians. We need a mixture of speed and trickery. Simon Moses and Victor Moses have good doses of both. 1 Like |

binhozie: Saying someone has Pele's trait does not mean that he plays like Pele. He is talking of Nacho playing with similar style and target. Trying to influence the game than waiting for others to do it. Pele created a lot of goals and scored a lot. Same with Messi and Muller. Yet, they do not have similar playing styles. 1 Like |

Aimuannose:One could make the argument that Egypt too will play better on the improved pitch ...... totally agree with you on the embarrassingly dilapidated state of the pitches. As rich as the country is, relatively in Africa, the Super Eagles should not be playing on such grounds. 1 Like |
