As much as a lot of people here might not agree with you on Moses being a right wing back on that formation, but you have a solid Point, Moses has a wing back for Nigeria will not only bring stability to our defense and make it impossible to break down and give us a more solid squad especially with idowu on the other wing, but again unfortunately he's he's the best attacker we have and rohr might not want him there also playing as a wing back would help us keep the ball a lot better under pressure, also he can always play a game where me moves forward a lot to dangerous effects while other cover for him.
i never considered it but with the recent success in the new formation, I feel Moses will serve better as a defensive shield for the defense, with iwobi and co who are less selfish than Moses doing thier thing upfront, and an unsuspected v Moses lurking around for a mistake. With Moses and idowu covering my wing back position in that formation we can truely beat any team.

safarigirl:
We should get a gif of Onyekuru skinning Dani Alves

....or Iwobi nutmegging Mascherano......

While at it, I do hope Croatians have that article where Ndidi was named EPL's tackle master

FabioPeter:
Our nightmare is the goal keeping department. Uzoho is young and untested, Ezenwa is erratic, Akpenyi is a basket, Enyeama is unfit and clubless.

TheGoodJoe:


So if someone ask you if there are players in the Super Eagles that can play multiple roles across the forward line, you will say no. Haba. Fear God.

forgiveness:


We don't evem have a modern CF neither do we have a prolific traditional striker in the national team.

forgiveness:


We are talking about modern CF not versatile players.

In this case, we don't have.

TheGoodJoe:


If Guardiola wanted to let Iheanacho go, there would be no reason for Manchester City putting a buy back clause.

Kog45:
Pls which one is modern CF or traditional striker again cos i remember 23 year ago all our FW were potential goal scorers and check US 94 team,Amokachie 2 goals,Amuneke 2 goals,Siasia 1 goal,Findi 1 goal,Yekini 1 goal and i don't think there was anything like modern CF during this period.

What we have in that team was top 9 which is Yekini but with your analysis and thegoodjoe am really confused on the role of Amokachie, Amuneke, Siasia,Finidi,do we called them modern CF?cos they are real goal poachers and Yekini as traditional striker.

The present eagle is not different from US squad if you check our goals statistics our forwards shared similar traits with what we have at US 94.They are real goal scorers.

Truly football has evolved but not much cos this your modern CF was used by Westerhoff but with the presence of traditional striker.

Now back to your comment you said we dont have modern CF but what are Iheanacho,Iwobi,Vic Moses,Simeon Moses,Onyekwuru,KayCF e?

Remember with our traditional striker in Nwakaeme we could only scored a goal against Algeria but in his absence we had four goals against Argentina,

My question now with the absence of traditional striker against Argentina,who was our CF cos you said we don't have modern CF and what really make a player a modern CF and even traditional striker.

TheGoodJoe:


Back in 1994, talent and ability wise is not different from today. However, roles are different which suits the modern game.

Back then, we had the wingers, Finidi, Amunike, and the support strikers like Amokachi. We had the hitmen or finishers. Yekini and Siasia. A versatile striker could also play the forward role.

Today, a player like Neymar can play on the left wing, right wing, support striking role or lead the attack. Players were not giving such freedom in the past.

Danielnino00:



TBH, I'm more worried about Kovacic,Perisic and Mandzukic than Modric

forgiveness:


The club those not want Iheanacho to go but they had to respect Guardiol's decision hence the need for Man city to play safe should incase Guardiola fails and moves on.

Danielnino00:





TBH, I'm more worried about Kovacic,Perisic and Mandzukic than Modric

Kog45:
OK but forgiveness said we don't have modern CF in this present team and which look a little bit confusing cos we nailed Argentina with the absence of traditional striker.

BascoVanVeli:




That's ridiculous those guy can't lace his boots and this is coming from a barca fan

tbaba1234:
I watched some croatian WC qualifiers. I observed that whilst the midfielders are good on the ball, the CBs do not like to be pressed on the ball. They lose possession when pressed well and it has resulted in some goals conceded.

TheGoodJoe:


Danielnino00 said he is more worried of the others than Modric. Not that they are better.

Icon4s:


That is one of the demerits of that 3-5-2 formation. It will not allow us to maximize our potentials.
But If we must play 3-5-2 and we have to bring in Victor Moses we line up like this:

............Moses..........Iheanacho

........................Iwobi
Idowu......Mikel.............Ndidi....Shehu

.......Balogun......Awaziem.......Ekong


I prefer Moses in the attack and not as Wing Back. He is our major attacking weapon.

TheGoodJoe:


Guardiola got Gabriel Jesus who had more attributes than Iheanacho. Not that Iheanacho lacked the attributes to play. Compared to those we have, Iheanacho is one that has lots of fine attributes to fit the modern game in our team.

BascoVanVeli:


means the same thing.

Mujtahida:

That is also also what Croatia and the other teams will notice about our backline too. Press our backline and they'd lose possession.

forgiveness:


Which Iheanacho? Iheanacho doesn't have.

You can deceive the mumus not me.

Icon4s:


We go with a Right wing back option. Meaning we need just one RWB Back-up. You pick Moses as the first choice, leaving room for one slot from the RBs.

Icon4s:


You see.

lexyman:



this combination is hot , it will be nice against older teams ... we are going to experience a very fast game play , mikel should be able to slow the tempo of that kind of gameplay at will . having Sheu and idowu as 2 and 3 .

TheGoodJoe:


If I say I am more worried about Lingard in the coming derby in Manchester, than Lukaku or Martial, does that mean I am saying Lingard is better than them? I am afraid of Lingard's pressing which will make it difficult for our defenders to keep possession.

Humility017:

shehu?
you are joking bro....
how about ebuehi...the truth is ebuehi is well ahead of shehu offensively...the side got good crosses...and for a wingback in 3-5-2 set up....ebuehi should start....ahead of shehu...
