Kog45:Yes there's an euphoria about the 3-5-2 because for long we have been tactically limited in our game. 3-5-2 is the newest car in our garage and many are itching to ride it. It's understandable but don't forget that we are not Rohr. We just talk like krattoss said. And I repeat 3-5-2 is an option. Moreover Rohr has said that the tactics to be adopted depends on the opposition we meet. Truth is we have to strike a balance between our best formation and the need to be tactically unpredictable. Imagine we begin with one shape and suddenly switch. The opponents will be in disarray if they too are not tactically savvy. My point is it's good for us to master at least two more tactical formations apart from 4-4-3 or 4-3-2-1(which is still 4-5-1). On Ebuehi and Idowu I agree that we need not be in haste but that their performances at their clubs is average cannot be a valid basis to judge them. Before Ebuehi had that good run tbaba1234 had often said that the lad is a good player. Almost all our players apart from Moses and Ndidi post average performances. Balogun the pillar of our defence even seats on the bench in Mainz. Iwobi gets brief moments of play, Iheanacho has no stable place in Leicester, Musa is lost. Mikel and Ighalo ply their trade in barely known clubs in China. But we cannot use that to judge them because the Gwg works magic on them and transforms them into glittering stars when they play for us. I'm still trying to find what the secret is. That's why many like Icon79 and safarigirl have insisted that we judge our players solely by how they perform in the Gwg. I am an Ebuehi fan but I acknowledge that Shehu has been incredible as our RB. To praise Ebuehi doesn't mean Shehu is slighted. Rather we should rejoice at the richness of our team. The team has meat. You can choose which one to chew unlike the 2014 Keshi team that was just bones. Nothing to chew. So there's reason for caution but it should be joyous, positive caution. The call should be for the team to master that tactics. To have used it and succeeded against Argentina with the players trying it out within a short period of time means there's potential there for us to exploit. Remember Amaju Pinnick said Rohr told him a night before that he has a tactical answer to Argentina's game. We should master it and not let fear to stop us from expanding our tactical options. Still I don't think 3-5-2 is our main tactical formation. Rohr is not that naive. 10 Likes 1 Share |

Mujtahida: Yeah, you are right but it is important forhim to note that you could only create one opportunity in competitive tournament like the WC hence the need to take our chances. That could change our fortune if utilized ultimately. We saw what happened against Argentina. Few chances but we utilized all. |

komekn: Which player did I pull down? To promote who? Please try read my post again. If I mentioned sterling, it is what I saw and many can attest to that for last season. We are not talking about this season. Last season we saw Sterling and yet he was given chance after chance. How is that a pulling down? Was it not the chances that he got that made him better? Can that be said of Iheanacho last season? Did he even get enough cameos? At the end of it all it is the stats that you guys will be using to judge a player. Now I am the one making excuses abi? Try and be empathetic. 3 Likes |

forgiveness:Utilized all? Iheanacho should have passed to Iwobi twice but was selfish with the ball. He was wrong to have done that twice.If we ignore the first, what of the second? |

Mickael2: Interesting analysis Doc. I'd however, like to see your preferred lineup/personnel to face those sides. Even though we all know Rorh is one who'd most likely stick to one starting lineup all through |

Balogun dependable so far. Have witnessed a clearance and a defensive aerial duel won. He is playing as the RCB among the 3CBs. He was almost beaten for pace initially. Modified Mainz concede. Well worked goal by liepzig 1 Like |

I'm not sure who commited the infringement. But Liebzig has been awarded a penalty. Balogun was in the thick of things. Referee heads to watch the VAR. Modified Decision upheld. It seems it was Balogun. Nobody carded though. Liepzig 2-1 Mainz |
