Firstly, no formation is infallible.

A team will have to control the midfield regardless of if they are a man short in that department, and deploy fast and very good wingers.

4-4-2 could be a good option with the right personnel.

kennysville:
A question for the super analysts......

How does one really neutralize a 3-5-2 formation? Is it really infallible? What formation is guaranteed to effectively counter it and render it useless?

I will never argue with anyone that tammy is better than this kid or no,thou umar sadiq has not played much game in his carrier.

Tammy is not a good player,people want him in the national team because he is brought up in england,most people on this thread think anybody brought up in england is good enough,now tammy is stuck on the bench of swansea,he cannot even bench jordan ayew,Tammy is not that a good player,that is how one guy here is making noise that seyi ojo is good enough for super eagles,the guy is just making mockery of him self.

See eh Andrew my guy, that Sadiq boy is about the only Nigerian youth player I can vouch for that he is playing with his true age. Another guy is Awoniyi.

People started berating Sadiq because he was overhyped by our media enroute the Olympics, hence high hopes were placed on him. He was decent, in fact he gave what he ought to, considering his age. I never thought him a poor player at the Olympics because I saw he was a kid who needed and still needs proper guidance to harness the abundant talent he possesses. He is now coming of age and I must say he hasn't disappointed me because he is making the right waves. When they trashed my opinion about him and Tammy, I didn't bother engaging them because I knew the time of reckoning was already beckoning. I also told them Osimhen was a better striker than their Lord, Solanke, I believe with time, they will agree with me.


BTW, I pray Nura scales the challenges he is facing now unscathed because he is another super talented kid.

I watched the first half.
It was like I was watching a game in the championship leauge. lots of gra gra they hardly settled in. Musa has a couple misplaced passes. Nothing special really. I foot bored. I may go back to complete the match

.

somehow:
Any updates bros?

Kog45:
Nobody was saying losing Otigba Nigerians should go and die

Oh Omeruo regular,yes he should be cos it would be a disgrace for a WC player like Omeruo to sit on the bench.

I thought Ekong was warming the bench in Belgian league before he moved to Turkey for regular playing time.

I think Onazi is more of a bench warmer this season

Experience Elderson Echiejele failed to make the cut in the same Turkish league now in Belgian 2nd division.

Yes Nigeria is a great football than Hungary just like we are better than Austria (Alaba)and Switzerland (Akanji)

My point is not about Otigba quality or his country but not always happy seeing Nigerians playing for another countries.Simple.

Na everybody go play for naija abi,dem for give you the coaching job of super eagles make you carry everybody go World Cup,if dem give you chance you go carry 100 players go World Cup,and wetin bring Austria and Switzerland here,Nigeria is better than Austria if you say Austria is better than Nigeria then I think you don't watch football rather you watch hockey,David Alaba? Make we fry beans ?does 1 player make a team ?maybe the David Alaba will play all the position in the national team....Bros you no make any point because you want every tom dick and harry to be invited,I repeat my self you make no single point.....Thank you

Bros are you sure that guy is really 21,to be sincere if you see a 21 year old you will know one,but he is a good player sha

Yes o no be small but big issue wey no get cover

andrew444:


Loosing Kenny otigba,a player that was not a regular when he played for kasimpasa,a kasimpasa which Kenneth omeruo is always regular there,that guy is not better than any of our defender and Nigeria is a great footballing nation than Hungary

At the time, Otigba declared for Nigeria.. He was a regular in Holland. Omeruo, who was a right back in Holland was our first choice CB. We were carrying Egwuekwe at the time. He deserved a call at that point if only to try out.

Yes that's true bros he was a regular at henreveen

Kenneth Otigba's change of alliance is welcome.

I think he needs to be commended. Dude waited so long for a call-up from Nigeria that'll never come.

I salute his courage and endurance and I'm wishing him the best with the Hungarian National team.

He was not given a fair chance.. Right now, i will not select him but at that time we did not have that many defenders.

Kog45:
No wahala my man

Am just a clown bro...One luv

Yes I already knew how it ended. I was watching the replay.

Kog45:
Lyon won

Well when his form was up there and he wanted to rep us, we didn’t look his way. Now it doesn’t really matter going by the defenders we have who are ahead of him. He is a Nigerian still. I would have given him same advice. I remember tbaba1234 and I debated his issue many pages back. We don’t contact players to switch allegiance for switching sake. Whether they choose or not, they have to earn their invitation.

I will be supporting Hungary whenever he plays. Cool guy

Yeah he did wait man! I'm sad he didn't get to play for Nigeria because he looked like he wanted it so bad, but I'm also happy the competition in the defence is so fierce a player of his caliber dosent get a look in, show we have real quality.

This one Joel obi is not on the team sheetfor torino against Roma tonight??

Let it not be what am thinking oo

krattoss:

The village people...lol

Joel Obi has a muscle injury,

Joel Obi with a muscle injury, hopefully, nothing serious..

Otigba could have played in the Olympics... When we were managing useless defenders like Ndifreke and playing Sincere Seth, a right back at center back.. The boy was passionate about Nigeria..

tbaba1234:

well if the injuries that has dogged him in the past are not similar muscle injuries then it would probably be nothing serious but if they are ......

MetalJigsaw:
He! waited for Nigeria to come for him because he knew fully well that Nigeria is a bigger football nation to Hungary.

Ekong could be average as you labelled gim but he's still way above Otigba nevertheless.

Ekong is a CB while Otigba is a RB.

Otigba is a CB

The young man's attitude towards us earns him my respect.

Imagine, If a player like Alaba had waited half the time of this young man, we would have been singing a different song today.

I know Otigba's decision to switch allegiance was a tough one he had to make for the sake of his career-which isn't a bad one.

thought wrong then, I'm happy he's finally getting to play national team football.
