With this Line up, then it shall be 4-2-3-1?

............Nacho
Simon. Iwobi. Ideye

I stand to be corrected

Icon4s:


Is it the same Brown Aide Ideye or another?

Abegi, i am not always moved by all these flash in the pan players. We have tried for Ideye abeg. After several recycling? On that day now, he will not even have one shot at goal.

Iheanacho should lead the attack.

forgiveness:
I think I am beginning to panic because of too much in experience young talents against an experienced African team.

Rohr should not use only small boys for dat game oooo.

He should look for better player at the right back and use experienced players in the midfield and attack.

BascoVanVeli:


Ideye has been carrying the Greek giants all year, i am sure he will be given the chance to lead the line.

TheSuperNerd:
I was only re-arranging your front four....

I don't see how Ideye will start in any other position than in the no.9 role.... (That's if he will start at all).

And I don't see Rohr playing Nacho from the flanks... Nacho is much deadlier through the middle... So that may shift Iwobi a bit out-wide...

But ofcos, iwobi and Nacho could always switch positions to confound the opponents depending on game situations... They are both capable of doing such as I witnessed some synergy and chemistry between them onfield when they took on luxembourg.

Icon4s:

The forwards line may take this shape:
...........Iheanacho
Simon....Iwobi....Musa
(hmm..such a youthful forwards line with very pacey players)
Ideye may come in if we need to switch to 4-4-2. He will partner with Iheanacho upfront.

forgiveness:


I don't think this positioning is workable.

I will prefer Ideye replacing Nacho, Iwobi taking the position of Ideye and Nacho playing behind Ideye.

This pattern has been put to test against Luxembourg and it worked.

I hope they will not do try and error for dis game oooo.

lakesidepapa:


Ideye can play up front, Yes but i doubt the german tactician will place him thr if he starts him, I'll prefer him at the flanks as he's capable to cut egde and has the energy like the isaac own.

This will give Iwobi the room to play at the center behind the up frontier as he's deadliest thr.

safarigirl:
which one is experience and inexperience?

How much experience did the likes of Onazi, V Moses, Mba, Musa, Oboabona and Omeruo have before they beat the likes of Keita of Mali and Toure them to AFCON?

Considering our inexperienced players are not more than 5; Nacho, Moses, Iwobi, Troost and Isaac, I doubt we'll have problems.

Besides, if we don't try the young ones at Qualifiers, is it at the mundial proper that we'll use them?

Now is as good a time as any to test our golden generation

BascoVanVeli:


I doubt the coach starts him on the wings. He is a like 4 like sub for Ighalo. In between his last call he has scored 5 goals, i don't see anything wrong with starting him and benefiting from his scoring form that he is on. Why play him on the wing when we already have good wingers?

lakesidepapa:


Simon is decent but musa has no brain, pacy player with out brain. This is where Ideye comes in, he can do better and decent job from the flanks

Icon4s:


Well, it looks more likely that City will go shopping to fill that space.

BascoVanVeli:


Musa is not a winger, not in Nigeria, Russia or England but his speed is something u can't teach. I am almost sure Simon starts becos the coach went out of his way to make sure he would make it.

ChrisKels:


My dear oo...!!

By the way, what would be your line up in Ndola after injuries have forced us to reshuffle? I would want Nacho to be cutting in from the RW, and Moses Simon LW, I would rather Iwobi started behind Ideye as the AMF and Mikel as CMF, would have loved a double pivot ( Ndidi and Onazi) because the Zambians are full of PACE but but due to Mikel's experience and influence both on and off the field, I would play Onazi as the only DMF if he wouldn't be running "upandan" while Ndidi benches. Then Omeruo would partner Ekong while Mohammed and Echiejile start from the right and left respectively. Ikeme man's the post.

I chose Ideye because he is a hustler upfront and can help destabilize the defense of the Zambians, allowing Iwobi and Nacho to pounce. I would like him an unsung hero. While the striking burdens be left on Simon, Iwobi and Nacho. Ideye can do well aerially.

Don't forget Iwobi shoots well, and with precision. Moses shoots well too. I just need all our strikers playing because a win away in the tough turf of Ndola will be a good way to start. Chances might be few.

lakesidepapa:

Simon. Iwobi. Ideye

lakesidepapa:


So who's ur preferable players at the wings/flanks?

lakesidepapa:



Still good but I don't trust Musa.

Mickael2:


this could work as a diamond formation, with Onazi as the base, Iwobi and Simon at the flanks.and Mikel behind the two strikers, this is what I feel we are going to play with Nacho dropping into midfield when we lose position to make it a 4-5-1. not sure but worth a thought

justiz5:
I did love Ideye to play the No.9 role. That does not mean Kelechi is not good at that position. Rather,
Ideye's runs will take off the pressure from the shoulders of Nacho and may be A. Iwobi to express themselves. It will also create mores spaces at the opponent goal area for the duo to exploit.

Brown Ideye is strong, hard working and never gets tired. He contributes a lot to the team. So it's left for the Coach to decide any way.

BascoVanVeli:


Easy! Iwobi and Simon, they both can play either side it doesn't even matter they can also switch during the match and cause more problems. They can score but wat is more important is they can create and keep the pace of the game going.

tbaba1234:
Ndola will be hard.. It is not easy to play African teams away. The antics will begin immediately you arrive.

We have the quality to get a win though.
