Danycrusoe:
I don't know y just seeing d names of d clubs most of our players now play for makes me smile.
Back den our players were playing for some virtually unknown club sides in mid Europe (and dey were always seating on d bench), d only stand-out was Mikel(Chelsea) and Yobo.
Thank God Success finally gets d call up. I hope d achievements of sum of d 2013 u17 stars with d various national teams will make ppl realize dat age cheating in our football has finally reduced.
Good job to d Babas n d mama on the thread: Icon4s, Thesupernerd, Thegoodjoe, Joseph, forgiveness, terzerum, confun, Safarigirl and the rest, I hail u all.

TheGoodJoe:
I propose we go with a 4-3-3 formation. An attacking line up with three forwards.

----------------------------------Carl Ikeme(GK)----------------------------------------
---------------------Ekong(CB)----------------Balogun(CB)------------------
M. Mohammed(RB)----------------------------------------------------Echiejile(LB)
----------------------------------------Onazi(DMF)----------------------------------------------
-------------------Iwobi(CMF/AMF)-------------Mikel(CMF/AMF)-----------------
---------------V. Moses(SS)-------------------------------------------Success(SS)
-------------------------------------------Iheanacho(CF)----------------------------------

Left back is a challenge for me because I do not trust Echiejile's crosses and tracking back. I put his name there because of his experience and I have not watched much of Madu's defending.

A lot of us hurled criticism at V. Moses because of his stingy play. However, he can become an asset with more license to attack. Instead of sticking to the flanks to cross and pass, a combination of three skillful strikers will bring out the best in Moses. We will see them exchange brilliantly close to goal and cause Zambia problems.

Mikel and Iwobi have the duty of disciplined play and key passes to unlock the opponents defence.

Onazi must stick to his disciplined play as he did against Tanzania. The setup is offensive and a stable defensive midfielder is crucial to prevent counter attacks.

Rohr should reduce the forward play of Echiejile to reduce the work he does to track back. Onazi should fill gaps.

TheGoodJoe:
Mikel will play deeper than Iwobi. Iwobi will need to make use of his brilliance to run into space created by our skillful forwards.

Passes, passes and more passes. That is what we need from Mikel and Iwobi. Utilise the pacy and skillful forwards. Keep passing to them. Opening for passes is very important from these two also.

More Passes between themselves and the forwards. They should also pass back to keep possession.

goldfish80:


If this is how we would set up, then I suggest Musa Muhammed should not start. We can't afford to have 2 green horns (Muhammed and success) on the international scene on the right side of our team starting such a crucial game.
Somehow, experience and youth should balance out. If success must start, Shehu plays. If Muhammed must start, Musa plays.

bigblangston:
An offensive setup and nicely done but we have to realise that we are playing in faraway Zambia where everything including the atmospheric condition may be setup in a way to thwart our ambition of progressing to the WC tourney. The Zambians are known to play beautiful football in the presence of their fans and they will have to appease their fans for their failure to qualify for AFCON, So they will go gun blazing at us but we can turn that to our advantage by trying to be conserved with our approach by using 4-5-1 formation. This formation help us to soak the pressure from the Zambian team which in turn frustrate the zambian team and add a lot of pressure on them then errors set in. Then we can turn that to our advantage but our striker should be known for burying half chance when it presents itself which I know kelechi is capable of doing perfectly. Success should stick to the flanks if the 4-3-3 is eventually used.

ChrisKels:


Check properly on that line up, Success is on the left flank just like he was when he came on for Ighalo on their(Watford 's) last match. He has an experience in Echiejile behind him, while Moses who hardly tracks back will have energetic Muhammed behind him on the right side.

As though he knew u were gonna say that before bringing forward the line up.

forgiveness:

goldfish80:

If that's the case, then my bad. Rohr will be a very brave man to hand Success a start on his debut in this sort of game. Lining up with Success, Iheanacho, Musa and Iwobi all under 20.... Hmmm
I don't think Rohr would be starting more than 2 of these guys.
............ Ikeme........
Shehu...... Leon...... Troost...... Elderson
........ Onazi........ Etisi
.............. Mikel ................Iwobi

....iheanacho..... Ideye.........

Etisi will sit in the middle while Onazi bursts up the pitch to try win the ball back and act as a foil for Mikel.
Iwobi will play as a retainer. A role he has played for arsenal this season.
Rohr's games manship will be tested in the second half when he has to react and make changes.

Rundown of how players of Nigerian descent fared in the third round of the League Cup on Wednesday night.

At Loftus Road, Sunderland beat homers Queens Park Rangers 2-1. Josh Maja was handed his senior debut for the Black Cats when he replaced Sweden U21 international Joel Asoro with 21 minutes remaining.

Nedum Onuoha remained on the QPR bench for the entirety of the contest while Republic of Ireland youth-teamer Olamide Shodipo was not selected.

Italy international Angelo Ogbonna put in a ninety-minute shift in defense in West Ham’s 1-0 win over League Two team Accrington Stanley.

Super Eagles striker Kelechi Iheanacho started and was in action for 80 minutes in Manchester City’s 2-1 win at Swansea City. Teammate Tosin Adarabioyo came off the bench in the 90th minute.

Over to Craven Cottage, England youth internationals Tayo Edun and Dennis Adeniran started for Fulham in their 2-1 loss to Tammy Abraham’s Bristol City. Sone Aluko was not involved .

Abraham appeared off the bench in the 62nd minute, Edun was replaced seven minutes later and Adeniran went the distance. The Chelsea loanee netted the game-winner in the 90th minute to take his tally to nine goals in all competitions.

Emmanuel Sonupe was a non-playing substitute for Northampton Town in their 3-1 loss at home to Manchester United at Sixfields Stadium.

Hull City have advanced to the fourth round thanks to their 2-1 win over Stoke City at the Bet365 Stadium . Injured Moses Odubajo did not feature for the Tigers.

England U20 international Josh Onomah put Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 up in their win against third-tier Gillingham. The attacking midfielder struck in the 65th minute and played the full game.

lakesidepapa:


An offensive setup indeed, Nice formation. I'll prefer shehu at that RB.
If the passes from the Mid field come through, the forward play/strike of the MSI will be a disaster to the chipolopolo defense, But do u think rohr is of this type of formation setup? 4-3-3. He will adopt the 4-4-2 he adopted for the tanzania match as he's of that scope, we should discuss with the formation.

TheGoodJoe:


I also suspect he might go for an offensive 4-4-2 setup but it makes us rely on players like Moses and Musa playing too wide to have effect on the opponents goal. I see the same happening with Success.

With three forwards, players like Moses, Musa and Success play more attacking roles and it suits them.

I feel Moses will play effectively as a forward than a winger.

joseph1013:
Uche Agbo has been impressive for Granada. He plays in the defence. His game against Atletico yesterday was superb. Watch out for that guy.

TheSuperNerd:
Your name is Success too?? Abi na Isaac.... Wow! Wonderful...

TheSuperNerd:
That Tammy Abraham lad dey hot!!! I have been monitoring him for a while....

He's only 18 and a Chelsea loanee doing great things at Bristol City.

Only thing is we don't know his allegiance decision yet.... But he's a very fine prospect.

forgiveness:


We have Kenneth Otigba and Brain Idowu to replace Jamiu Alimi and Shehu Abdullahi. Afterall, Ezekiel Imoh was dropped because of the club he plays for presently.

Isaac Success! Did I raise highbrow? I am not against his invitation. I was only talking about shumthing. You can't understand. The person understands.
