TheGoodJoe:


Where did I proclaim failure on the 3-4-3? I said after how West Ham walked through Chelsea, someone is proposing Nigeria should play a back three? Is that a proclamation of failure?

Icon4s:


Are you of the opinion that we try that 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 formation against Algeria? Tell me.

joseph1013:
What I dont understand is the attack on 3-5-2. You have never used it but you are afraid of it. If you check enough forums, you will see some people afraid of 4-5-1. What I see here is just bias.

It's not just clubs that use 3-5-2 for goodness sake. National team use it. Conte used it with Italy. Bielsa used it with Argentina. Prandeli used it with Italy too. Chile has also used it.

I seriously don't know why there is such opposition to trying out different tactics. If we have friendlies or have an extended period for camping, why not? What is the harm in trying new things in low pressure games?

Or is this about Conte and the issue with Mikel?

REVEALED: Super Eagles 25 Man List For
Algeria Clash With Russian Born Nigerian Brain Idowu Included






Although the official list of players for Nigeria’s
second World Cup 2018 qualifiers tie is yet to be
released. Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively
reveal the names of 25 players who have been
penciled down by manager Gernot Rohr for the
November 12 game in Uyo.


However Dutch-Nigerian Tyronne Ebuehi could
miss out as exclusively reported by
Owngoalnigeria.com as he is yet to be issued a
Nigerian passport. But Russian born Nigerian
Brian Idowu has no such problem and he is
included.


Gernot Rohr is yet to decide on who gets the back up central defence slot between Granada Uche Agbo and Rizespor Godfrey Obabaoana, a decision which could however be made before the end of the weekend.


John Ogu is in the squad at the expense of Nosa
Igiebor and Anderson Esiti with Wilfred Ndidi
abilities to play in midfield and defence also a
factor used in axing the aforementioned duo.


Doubts still persists about the availability of Isacc Success although he assured the manager during a meeting this week, that he will be available.

Oghenekaro Etebo is in the squad while teen
Super Star Victor Osimhen is in it as well.

BascoVanVeli:


Oga don't even dare, we've had that convo already, this is not about Algeria and u know it. Ur comments were about the 3-4-3 being the worst system becos chelsea lost to west ham.

BascoVanVeli:


Huh, this beautiful man named Rohr, chai! See me see good list. Idowu is the easiest steal ever cuz i'm sure Russia won't have called him ever. Also I think Rohr is going to look at 3 at the back, he selected 5 centerbacks and 2 fullbacks.

BascoVanVeli:


U know @ 11:30 pm when i saw this quote i just went straight to sleep so as to give u time to see wat u just said.
So wat were u proclaiming success? It's just sad that someone who knows football will use that match as an example, i mean they play this weekend couldn't u just wait for the meaningful match to draw ur conclusion.

Mickael2:


we have four full backs there not just three because Omeruo and or Leon can play as full backs so the 3-4-3 is a No go.

so that one aside, I for one do not like that 4-2-3-1 at all. it is too defensive minded, not to mention that I'd Mikel will start then the formation won't look like it should at all, I don't know why we can't just start with two strikers up top, slim down the number of midfielders we have in our game and go for a smooth transitional formation from defence straight to attack, not a formation that will have to control the midfield first which requires a lot of passes in midfield. I watched Senegal the other day, there midfield only had to win back possession and push the ball to the forwards immediately and it was working, keeping the ball in the middle for too long, especially with players like Onazi who can't make a square pass even if their lives depend on it is risky against these Algerians oooh, I have said my own

Icon4s:

Please explain ur last sentence.

TheSuperNerd:
Loooolllllll....... No mind Sir Basco.... Hahahahahaha.....

Abeg na four center backs and three fullbacks dey that list....

confun:
o noo.....this is a beautiful list, God bless this Rohr.

joseph1013:
What I dont understand is the attack on 3-5-2. You have never used it but you are afraid of it. If you check enough forums, you will see some people afraid of 4-5-1. What I see here is just bias.

It's not just clubs that use 3-5-2 for goodness sake. National team use it. Conte used it with Italy. Bielsa used it with Argentina. Prandeli used it with Italy too. Chile has also used it.

I seriously don't know why there is such opposition to trying out different tactics. If we have friendlies or have an extended period for camping, why not? What is the harm in trying new things in low pressure games?

Or is this about Conte and the issue with Mikel?

Icon4s:


Bascovanveli is still mentioning that 3 back thing and yet he would say "it is not about the Algeria game".

For an opponent that is blessed with fine midfielders a crowded midfield is a good option.

Even if we dnt win, we should not lose.

joseph1013:


How many times have I said we should try them only in friendlies and low pressure games? Have I been singing to the choir?

Do Argentine players have most of their players playing in the same league when Bielsa used it with them? What about Chile?

Just say you don't like Moses. Saying Moses will not play to the instructions of the coach is below the belt. The players respect Rohr. And with the crop of players we have now, why are you under-estimating their technical and tactical ability to pull off all kinds of formations including 3-5-2 with enough training and devotion? It's not good that you are saying the same things that those white supremists say. Africans can do anything that people of other races can do. We are not inferior beings.

Mickael2:


where are the fine midfielders? when we have to use Iheanacho who is a striker as our midfielder then we don't have fine midfielders, when we have to play Onazi who.can't make a square pass then midfield isn't our strength. our strength is in our attack and wide men, mind you we are trying to play a compact midfield here, in that match against Zambia only Moses was providing width, Iwobi was right in the middle clogging it up, that exposed Onazi's poor passing skills and although we weren't punished then, I don't think the Algerians will give us such room

TheSuperNerd:
Sometimes I wonder what we did to deserve this..... This Rohr is too good to be true...

God bless him indeed. **sobs**

Let's just lift our hands and thank the Lord shall we..... We don't deserve this... It's a miracle... **worship mode**

Icon4s:


He is just too in love with that 3back line thing.

joseph1013:
I see that you intentionally left Chile. Chile has always had more quality than all African teams, abi? African countries do not have the football brains to pull off what a country that didn't win any trophy for 99 years did during their dark years? Okay na. Continue.

African players are brain-dead with no ability to learn and switch formations.

Icon4s:


I am particular about its application or non-application to the national team. I am sure u know some peeps here are already clamouring for Rohr to adopt the formation.

Mickael2:


Joseph is making sense these days

Mickael2:


we have four full backs there not just three because Omeruo and or Leon can play as full backs so the 3-4-3 is a No go.

so that one aside, I for one do not like that 4-2-3-1 at all. it is too defensive minded, not to mention that I'd Mikel will start then the formation won't look like it should at all, I don't know why we can't just start with two strikers up top, slim down the number of midfielders we have in our game and go for a smooth transitional formation from defence straight to attack, not a formation that will have to control the midfield first which requires a lot of passes in midfield.

Chai...so I no dey make sense before?

Omuero and Balogun played CB just last week, so forgive me for saying we brought 5 CB's

Joseph is making sense these days
