Humility017: It seems you don't understand my point. The formation we played against Argentina is meant a LWB and not the usual LB in a 4-3-3 formation. That was why Aina struggled to cope holistically in that new role. I am not say he is a bad player going forward but in that particular game, he did nothing offensively. Now, let us go away from the LWB and back 3 defence to the usual 4 back defence known to us. I still feel I need to see him again in that role before drawing conclusion but before then Elderson or Brian have my nod. However, I am convinced he is a better player at RB and I would like him to be played there first to compare his performance on both sides. |

Danielnino00: Good one. I think Awaziem had a bad first half and he gives away the ball easily just like Ekong. |

Danielnino00: He deserved to make the WC then because he played regularly in la liga for 2 years in a role prior to the WC. It is still a mystery he was ignored for two years before he was called. Unfortunately, Keshi deployed him in an unfamiliar role. |

Danielnino00:That guy is good. He's a terrorist attacker because of his quick feet, agility, pace and confidence. Hes an upgrade on Musa andI'd like him to replace him. I think we're going to need him in the WC. 2 Likes |

Truth is this 3-5-2 formation seems ideal but knocks out some of wing players ala simon moses, onyekuru and co for Victor moses to feature. I tried doing some tweaks to accommodate moses not featuring in a wingback role. I choose Ebuehi and Idowu based on current display while Echijele comes in due to his defending and advantage as a left footed player.

MetalJigsaw:I really like this your list. But how we go do now: no Musa. The midfield is thin. I think it needs one more player. Anyway Shehu can easily be drafted into the midfield but what if Joel Obi comes good? This thing is tough oo |

Netherlands Yet To Give Up On Luring Eagles Latest ‘Oyibo’ Sensation Ebuehi Dutch journalist Jermain Leitbig says the Netherlands are still hopeful of convincing Super Eagles right full back Tyronne Ebuehi to play for their senior national team. Born in the Netherlands to Nigerian parents, the ADO Den Haag full back impressed a lot of Nigerians when he came on as a substitute for the Super Eagles in their 4-2 win over Argentina on Tuesday. Despite playing for Nigeria in that game, he is still eligible to represent Holland and Jermain Leitbig says he will definitely be considered as the Dutch begin a process of rebuilding following failure to qualify for the World Cup in Russia. ” I hope you know he only played in a friendly game for Nigeria, and not a competitive game hence he can still play for the Netherlands. He plays in a position where the Dutch are short of options, so he could be an option”, Leitbig told Owngoalnigeria.com. ” Unless he plays for Nigeria next year, the Netherlands are still in with a chance to convince him, afterall it wasn’t like they didn’t try to stop him when he made the move to switch to Nigeria. ” Let’s wait but for now Nigeria hold the advantage of having him but no doubt Holland will be monitoring his performance for ADO Den Haag. The battle for his future is far from over”. Ade Emmanuel source: OGN

Danielnino00:Nice but this formation screams MOSES, WINGBACk OR BENCH!! ..lol. And it should be 3-4-2-1 ................ GK ...... Ekong- Balogun- Awaziem Ebuehi- Ndidi- Ogu/Onazi- Idowu .......... Mikel-Iwobi ........... Nacho/Ighalo |

Danielnino00:He should just play them in their natural roles jeje. I think Aina and Shehu would have taught him not to play players in roles they are not suited for while Brian and Ebuehi would have taught him to play the players in their natural roles Tactics must match personnel. If we perfect this strategy I believe we would adopt it depending on the opposition we meet. Sir Icon4s, Are we seeing the end of 'never change the winning team' maxim? 5 Likes |

forgiveness:Abajo! Nobody thought of it from that angle ooo. See wahala. Thank God Holland are not going for the World Cup. They would have snapped him up. I think he would stick with us cos with his showing against Argentina and the possibility of us putting 3-5-2 formation in out toolbag he can be a good addition to the team. 4 Likes |
