Icon4s: I am tied down, no much time to check but I will research more about. However, I suspect Ikpeba has a hand in our coach pick, Paul Le Guen is a ball playing defending kind of coach and I suspect Rohr who coached in the Ligue 1 when Ikpeba was with Jean Tigana (Another high line ball playing defending coach) might be similar. Ikpeba is part of the technical committee. That is where I drew my opinion. Not just the last game. Further games will clarify his style. |

This formation could be far fetched. Abit alien to our style but I think a 3-5-2 formation could suit our team. Something like this.. . . . . . . . . Ikeme. . . . . . . ... Omeruo. . . Leon. . . . Troost .M.mohamed. . . . Onazi. . . Mikel . . . . . . . . . . . . .iwobi. . . . . . . . . . . . Musa . . . . . . . . Iheanacho. . . Ighalo In this formation, Musa Muhammed would be licensed to push high up the field, just like a winger, when in possession, while the over load in midfield and Omeruo covers for him. At the last AYC, he almost played like a free winger and got about 5goals. Won the player of the tournament I believe. Lichestiner plays this role for juventus. In attack, Musa should be cutting in from the left. We all know what he did at the last world cup playing that position. Against South Africa in a friendly, he played from this angle and got a goal. He could be more prolific than moses playing there. Iheanacho will support Odion and drop to the middle to help control the game,while Iwobi plays a free role which is his most natural position although he was trained at arsenal to play any role in attack even as a striker. The Zambians will struggle to get out of their own half if we play a prototype like this. As they will be strangled to submission right there in Ndola. 1 Like |

chrisooblog: aren't you going to consider Azubuike at all for that game? I understand your point exactly, you want us to play with caution but don't you think that the present condition that they are in can afford us the oppurtunity to not only win but to do so handsomely? I would prefer that Etebo-Mikel-Ndidi combination(with Azubuike replacing Ndidi for me) or we could add a true winger to replace Iwobi on the left and push him into the middle too, with him providing the assist, Iheanacho converting those assists and Mikel setting the tempo of the game, God have mercy on the Zambians ![]() 2 Likes |

goldfish80: So this means that Troost will be virtually playing as the LB? But he is right footed isn't he? We do not really have the personnel to pursue what you have in mind. When Barca plays a 3 man defence, you usually see Busquets slotting into the central defence when the wing back is away attacking, is it Onazi or Mikel that will cover? So maybe Ndidi comes in handy but still having a right footed CB in the predominant LB position is going to cause a lot of problem. Juventus plays with 2 wing backs which makes it work out well for them, Musa isn't a wing back, we will have issues |

Mickael2: Like I said, this is just a prototype. I don't think Troost will have much problems having watched him at the Olympics, he loved playing in the left side of defence. Alot of time, he doug out Amuzie. Remember, there would be enough security with Omeruo, Mikel and Leon forming a chain in defence when in defence transition. In this formation, Mikel will drop deep while Onazi bursts forward with his energy and try winning the ball high up the pitch. 1 Like |

My line up: --------------------Ikeme-------------------------- / Onazi--------Ekong---Balogun-----Echiejile / --------------Mikel----------Ndidi---------------- / ---------------------Iwobi------------------------- / Musa muh'med-----------------------Success / ---------------------Iheanacho------------------- / Rohr should understand that if you are good enough you are old enough. Quartet in our attack can take us to 2018 world cup.let us do away with always starting our expereinced and untalented stars like Ighalo.musa,moses etc. Know that Musa muhammed is more of a winger than a defender,the duo of musa and success can bully any defence. Remember it is African football we are talking about. |

Moses and Musa are too soft for African football and we can't afford to keep using them and be expecting different result |

I am impressed with the fact that a few people here actually understand that Musa Mohammed is not just a Right fullback but a flying wing-back based on his playing style and Energy up and down the right wing. He even started off in the U-17s as a Centre-back.... ![]() In Sir Goldfish80's 3-5-2, Musa Mohammed will strive as Right wing back... I have no doubt about it. But all the same shaa..... This is the World Cup Qualifiers, NO TIME FOR "HEAVY" EXPERIMENTATION THAT WILL COST US POINTS. Musa Mohammed won't be played as a right winger no matter how physical he is. A right winger requires more than physicality to execute his role. Besides, A Victor Moses will be better off in that role and yep, he was fantastic last night against a very physical Leicester City. Musa Mohammed may have to man the R.B. role but then I hope Moses Odubajo's switch is completed soon so that he can stake a claim also.... Leon is also an option there but I won't play our best CB as a right back... Now way!!!! Also, Shehu Abdullahi's performance at Rio in that Right back role was impressive. He's also an option although he is naturally a DMF. Success... Success... Success... I expect him to make Rohr's list for the battle of Ndola. Simon Moses is out with an injury. Etebo "may" also miss out. We have a rising super bunch of top young starlets but we gotta get the formation right fpr every game based on the opposition in view. If we wanna be in Russia by the summer of 2018. We gotta avoid "heavy" experimentation and go for what will kill off our opponents game-by-game. zuchyblink: 2 Likes |

goldfish80: This formation is good but you have to put the right players at the right places. The 3 defenders you used are rightly placed but you will need wing back at each sides that can also play as a midfielder and winger. Therefore, Musa Ahmed should be replaced with Joel obi or Echiejile. Musa Mohammed is likely the right choice for the RWB. Spot on with Mikel Obi and Onazi as the DM and Iwobi as the attacking midfielder. Kelechi Iheanacho and Ighalo are also the best for that position. But I doubt it will work out because we are not use to this kind of formation. |

zuchyblink: Hmm! You prefer Ndidi to Onazi and Musa to Moses. I think Onazi is better than Ndidi in that position while Moses is better than Musa Mohammed in that position. If we can think of using Musa Mohammed who is finding it difficult to play for his team then it is better we bring Daniel Adejo who plays regularly as a RB in the Serie B. |

Well is not about who is better but who can deliver results,for the facts he is not playing in his club doesn't make him a bad player,it could the coache's decision.

zuchyblink: Because Moses bring fear factor, he can create chances from nothing, he can score and he can pass better than Musa Mohammed. There is difference between playing from the back and playing from the wing. Moses can make explosive runs too but he can't defend. That is where the job of a DM comes in. 1 Like |

TheSuperNerd: I agree, no experiments in formation. I will avoid a three at the back, after the recent failures in the EPL. Mancini tried it at City and it failed. Van Gaal tried it and failed. Recently, Conte is avoiding it. It leaves gaps, wide due to the heavy forward play of the wing backs. 1 Like |

I highly Endorse This Statement ![]() Yet Yaya Toure won CAF APOTY award that year and nobody raised dust. But when Aubameyang won for the year Yaya and CIV conquered Africa (last year, 2015), Yaya and his loquacious agent, Dimitri Seluk, started crying "blue murder" and "robbery" and saying it's high time we respected the performances at the Afcon above european club football performances so long as it is an AFCON year.... Rubbish!!!!!!!!! Where was this same "Respect Africa" philosophy of his when Mikel was overlooked in 2013?? Ohhh... It's because he, Cry-baby Yaya was the beneficiary..... Absolute Rubbish!!!!!!!!!!

forgiveness: Very tough. We had the likes of Omeruo, Oboabona and Victor Moses. I will go for Onazi because he was behind most of the weight behind Mikel. He gave Mikel the liberty to express himself. However, this is a personal choice. A lot felt Moses was instrumental to our win. |

forgiveness: Maybe Simple to you. Omeruo was amazing in that competition. As for me, he contributed more than Moses. Especially in his battle against Drogba. Same goes for Oboabona and Onazi. I look at all contributions and not just offensive. Offensively, Moses was brilliant but defensively, many did better. Onazi was a monster too. That does not take anything away from Victor Moses. He was one of the heroes of the competition. |
