Kog45: Musa Yahaya that passed MRI got married in 2016. Mathew Olorunleke, 2015 Flying Eagles goalie got married in 2015. Five years down the lane and they may have given birth to 3 children just like Kayode and someone will start doubting their ages because of that? 1 Like |

Kog45: Would you field Shehu in a 5-3-2 formation just because you cannot change a winning team? The point is simple: your first eleven remains SUBSTANTIALLY the same. One or two players just for dynamism doesn't change it if you have a good bench 6 Likes |

kingphilip: From defense, I think Ebuehi will do a good job in neutralizing Messi. From the little I've known about Ebuehi, the guy is so tenacious and wouldn't give you a break at all... 2 Likes |

Moses did great defensively last night. But his decision making in the final third of the opposing side was just average. 3 Likes |

What I know is that you cannot play the same set of players with the same tactics against all opponents. You will get roasted just because of a mantra that you never change a winning team. 2 Likes |

Mujtahida: Have we actually ever paired Onazi with Ogu to see if Onazi will outperform Ndidi? True Onazi-Ndidi does not work, I have been saying that since the first leg against Algeria, but then why should we just decide that Ogu-Ndidi is better than Ogu-Onazi? Let's look at this critically. Onazi-Mikel was working wonders why? Mikel as a DMF sits, he doesn't move and you could see Onazi doing wonders in that Afcon. Then he gets injured at the world cup, he returns and he has had to pair up with Etebo(who roams more than him) and Ndidi as well, forcing him to try to manage his game. If for anything I think we should actually praise Onazi because in most cases he is usually the DMF who sits to defend closer to the box despite the fact that it isn't his position. So why not try out Ogu-Onazi combo to see if it's as good as Ogu-Ndidi or even better. I mean let's not be fooled, that first half against Argentina was a pure lesson on utter domination so I don't know how we have decided-entirely from just 45mins, that Ogu-Ndidi is our best combo. If they post that first half performance against even Iceland we have a problem. So my simple point is that Onazi deserves the benefit of the doubt. He is the vice captain and since we have been here harping on how to utilise Ndidi best, why don't we also ponder on how to utilise Onazi best? Ndidi-Joel is going to be the worst combo. The only way Joel can work is if Mikel decides to go back to Dmf which probably won't happen 2 Likes |

Eligreat247: It will not be Ebuehi that will majorly be on Messi. It will majorly be the DM and the CB pairing. |

Mickael2:Thank God you can see that that combo doesn't work. Nobody is beating or blaming Onazi. Not at all. I have harped on the fact that the best combination is the one that brings out the best in the both of them. Whether it's Ogu combined with Onazi or Ndidi and Ogu or even Etebo. What I do know is that that combination doesn't work seamlessly and we cannot for the sake of doing the done thing or that this is the way it's always been never try something different. Let me ask you a simple question:do you think that playing the same tactics suits all the players? And can or should we play the same players with the same tactics all through the tournament? |

Mujtahida: As I said before the national teams are typically limited in options as compared with clubs. For most countries the starters stand tall above those on the bench that the later may not even be considered even if there is a switch in formation. Secondly the national teams do not have the luxury of time the clubs have to experiment on different tactics with different players options. Thirdly, clubs can always make up for defeats in case their tactics, players selection or formation fail. The national teams do not play as many matches so little room for a make up. For eg if we go and play an alien formation against Croatia, just because we think we can catch them unawares, but it fails and we get whipped we are out of the WC! National team coaches have limited room for experiments and varieties. They typically find a system that works for the team and stick to it. Slight changes can be made but care should be taken not to upset the balance in the team. The key is focus more on perfecting your tactics than spending time to experiment on a tactics that you may think is alien to your opponents. 1 Like |

Mujtahida: I believe I was the one telling everybody that Shehu has no business in a 3-5-2 except as a DMF remember? So of course teams change when tactics change. I mean Spain came to the Euro final and decided to play a 4-6-0 and changed one or two first team players in the final oh. I also remember that in Luis Enrique's first classico he decided to field Xavi who was no longer part of the first XI, it backfired sha but I get your point totally. However, I am not ok with the fact that everybody has been pointing out that we need the best from Ndidi etc etc. What about getting the best from Onazi? I mean getting the best from Onazi gave us an Afcon winners medal as well as a world cup round of 16 berth. Getting the best out of Ndidi gave us a stalemate against Senegal and one of the poorest first period in recent memory against Argentina |

Mujtahida:As a player you must be able to adapt to all tactics if you want to succeed as a player. My man we are not saying using the same set of players all through,pls try and read icon4s comment. I don't think it would be advisable beating Croatia and cos Iceland brings different tactics then we distort our performing lineup,again beating Iceland and Argentina brings up another tactics,we changes our team again, it's not done that way. |

Mickael2:Spain line up changed in Euro cup final due to injury The question is do we need to change our team due to our opponent tactics even if they are performing or do you think beating Croatia then Rohr would change his lineup against Iceland barely any unjury. |

Icon4s:I think Argentina friendly would be our greatest undue at WC if Rohr want to base his assessment of the team on it and forgetting our WC qualifiers matches,it seems a lot have forgotten that the same Argentina needed to wait till last match before they made it. Funny enough we talk more on Argentina friendly to rate our players,player like Shehu is now underrated to a point that 45 minutes Ebuhei is the main man now. Goood i don't think Rohr is having it like a fan cos am seeing him considering Akpeyi again meaning he is a coach who know what is going on in the team than we fans. 3 Likes |
