Icon4s: Its amazing that you watch several matches every day but you seem ignorant of tactics teams deploy against each other. I bet that you see these tactics but just choose to remain stuck to some old school believe about football. On this thread, several times in the past, it has been said here that football have evolved. The dynamics have changed. But it seems that many people are yet to come to full grasp about how football is currently played on their screens. If we were both managers, i Nigeria's coach, you Croatia.... You play me from the middle and i will play you from the sidelines... At the end of the day, Baba i will beat you silly ![]() |

Icon4s:I will go with real poacher because judging from the sebia match.... I think we can't really match the crots in the midfield... best way to play them is through the flanks so a a Formation like 3-5-2 should be adopted...and passes should be spread to the wings.... the middle should be seldomly used not until they're under pressure...to make some deadly mistakes..... you use the tactics you proposed up there can work effectively when we play Iceland...and not a team with world class midfielders like Croatia.... |

realpoacher: bro...please calm down with your words... we are all.learning no need for harsh words..simply because we don't agree on same stance... his tactics will better work when we play a team like Iceland but I still fear...for us..regarding our difficulties in making good passes upfront... but should mikel and iwobi, etebo or ogu get to play from the middle.....the passes will all come in...and the midfield can be choked... 2 Likes |

Icon4s:having two defensive midfielders like ndidi and onazi gonna dry us in that game.... we should go with one...and make use of either etebo/ agu I see nothing wrong playing mikel as a CM in that game while iwobi takes the AM role.... I am still waiting for a friendly iwobi gets to play the AM and mikel the CM role...hopefully against England... both players in the middle...with a striker like nancho upfront gonna birth goals...as nancho and iwobi can both interchange roles depending on who is with the ball..... my only problem wit mikel...playing the CM role is his inability to shoot from a distance.... 1 Like 1 Share |

after watching iwobi deployed as a midfielder against burnley yesterday it occurred to me that he is the number 10 we have been clamoring for all this years. i urge rohr to experiment a midfield trio of ndidi(defensive midfielder), mikel obi(central midfielder) and iwobi( attacking midfielder/supporting striker). with this three in the middle, etebo can come in from the flank because his robust style of play when be helpful when the team is attacking or defending 2 Likes 1 Share |

Humility017:nice observation bro. onazi no doubt brings enough energy to the team but he adds nothing moving forward. he tends to perform better when we face African oppositions. mikel can be deployed as a central midfielder who's sole responsibility is to coordinate the team's play and also help alex create openings for our strikers to score 1 Like |

realpoacher: I just hope Rohr and his technical crew are listening to this analysis. Bro I enjoyed every bit of this analysis full of passion. I think I concur with you.. it's logical |

Humility017:if rohr will deploy mikel as the team's central midfielder he will help steady the team'splay and composure against the crots. onazi maybe to erratic with his tackles which may cost the team if he is booked. |

realpoacher: Firstly, please keep this discussion as civil as possible. No need for the use of provocative words. We are only rubbing minds and discussing tactics. Now, back to the discussion. Yes I watch matches almost everyday mostly club matches. And during international breaks I watch national team matches across different continents. What most of us here don't understand is the national team setting is usually different from club settings. Club coaches find it convenient staying with coaching of clubs while national team coaches find it convenient coaching the national teams. Look at the way national teams play and look at the way clubs play. Dont you notice any difference in the approaches? With clubs a coach can come up with any form of tactics and go out in search of players they feel can fit into such tactics but for the national team you are only limited to the players you have. You cannot buy a ready made player to come and play for you. National teams are set up such that if you don't win don't lose because the chances to redeem yourself after losing a game are so few. The WC is held every 4years. Unlike Clubs that play weekly at times twice a week. You get whipped on Wednesday you have another competition on Saturday to correct your wrongs. National team tactics are mostly conservative! Watch how national teams play and Watch how clubs play and you will understand. You now wonder why so many AFCON and WC group games end in draws. And penalty shoot-outs at knock out stages. Yes, football is dynamic and has evolved over time but the national teams would always adopt the safest approach. You are citing cases of Real Madrid do we have the kind of quality those clubs have? To your point, you are saying we should gift them the midfield and follow the wings. I hope you don't see the midfield as only the center circle. For your information, part of the wings are also part of the midfield. When you lose possession of the midfield how will you get the balls across to the wingers? Hold on to your beliefs and let me hold on to mine. No one gets a trophy for winning any arguments here. But once again try remain civil in your comments. 7 Likes 1 Share |

I think this is what Rohr tried against Serbia Poland. we didn’t lose the Serbia game at the midfield. Mikel and Ndidi playing as pivot DMs would neutralize the midfield threat of the Croats. Let’s not forget the duo also have attacking instincts. Our ability to switch up play will be crucial — counter attack being our strong point. Icon4s: 1 Like |

Humility017: By deploying Mikel to the CM you are reducing the potency of our attack. Yet you are agreeing we should gift out our midfield. |

He is only speaking from the scenario when we are controlling the game. What if they have a better possession? Who keeps possession more dictates more were the ball is played. We’ve been more likea counter attack team Icon4s: |

Humility017: We all have agreed that the counter attacking approach would be best for the team. That is why we need Mikel as the AM. Those killer passes that will set our strikers apart for a kill. Iwobi does not have that kind of eye for killer passes as Mikel does. 1 Like |

Humility017:mikel will sparkle if deployed as a central midfielder or a deep laying play maker (the andrea pirlo/michael carrick role).mikel lacks the speed and shooting ability to operate as a number 10. i believe alex iwobi is blessed with the skill set to metamorphose into a mercurial attacking midfielder. another player who should be nurtured for that role is qpr's eberechi obi after the mundial 2 Likes 1 Share |
