MetalJigsaw: Bros calm down and understand my analysis... My strategy is deceptive if you take it at face value.... If you literally follow the word "gift" then you will be lost. I think the word i should have used is "play through the sidelines and wings" whenever we have the possession. Please try to understand the context... The context here is that whenever we have possession, we should take the ball to sidelines, from there we play to the wings before aiming for the goal. The key clause in my writeup indicates that we have to be in possession first before the idea of sidelines and wings come into play. Now, i didn't say that our players should just stay put on the sidelines like stature while the Croats run riot.. No!! But when we are not with possession, then we mark normally within the middle inorder to regain the ball. Now if you read my first post about this strategy very well... You will notice that I suggested the formation that will suit this "gifting" of the midfield to Croatia which is the 3-5-2 formation. Naturally, 3-5-2 as a formation have already crowded your midfield by default, so your defense cannot be exposed when defending. Also 3-5-2 and 4-3-3 formations are naturally counterattacking formations, which will favor very well "mas attack - mass defense" movement. So you see, my strategy is well thought out,... You end up killing 3 birds by one stone. If you try to play through the middle against an opponent stronger than you in the midfield, you will always meet brickwall. Finally, i don't know why all of you riled up concerning my strategy because all the while we have been playing through the sidelines and wings, with mass attack - mass defense (which is the reason why teams struggle to play their game plan against us because we press them high up in their own half). The only time tried to play through the middle by choking the midfield against Serbia, we all saw the results. We were beaten square and fair. 3 Likes |

Humility017: Who is the best player in the Nigerian National team? How many serious matches did you win without Victor Moses? |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Icon4s(m): 7:28pm On May 08, 2018 |
Humility017: Haha, the way some of us propose formations. You don't play 4-5-1 in game 1, it works for you and you win the game and next game you switch to 3-5-2. Instead what one can say is you start with 4-5-1 in a game and end up with 4-3-3, 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 depending on how the team faired during the course of the game. National team coaches don't change starting formations per Match per match especially if you got a result with the formation for the previous game. Talking also about bringing in Ebuehi when Moses burns out. I consider such more or less as a wasted substitution. You cannot be chasing a game and rather than making an attacking change like pulling out a midfielder, or a defender and introducing a striker or winger, you are changing WBs. And if we are leading and you need to secure a result. You can pull out one of the forwards and introduce a midfielder or CB. I can only change WBs, FBs or CB on the count of injuries or atrocious mistakes from the player involved. And again on Moses, like you don't get our point. He is our most potent Winger. Why play him at WB? 2 Likes |

Humility017: I thought he changed his mind to play for Nigeria after Ebuehi success. Anyway, I think it is good for the team if new players come into the fold to fight for a shirt. |

krattoss: Wetin do am? I have watched Awaziem closely and I discovered he is also attack minded. In short, he knows how to shoot at goal and score with his head. I think he is a box to box midfielder. |

andrew444: He started out as a DMF. 6 Awaziem can play in central defence or defensive midfielder. “I will play wherever the coach wants me to play to help the team,” he says http://scorenigeria.com.ng/2017/06/10/10-things-we-need-to-know-about-eagles-new-boy-chidozie-awaziem/ This calmness carries over into his passing, which is tidy and calm; he's no Beckenbauer, but his distribution is reliable. No doubt, it helps that he was originally a defensive midfielder, and whereas his passing may have been considered limited in that position, it is very good for a centre-back. http://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/4079/features/2016/04/14/22273972/portos-chidozie-awaziem-deserves-olympic-chance 1 Like |

who made TOTW for the week's he didn't? If he is the best RB in the Championship I'm sure Wolves or Cadiff would be interested in loaning him from Chelsea for next season. I doubt he's considered among the top 3 right backs in the Championship. Modified Sir you have seen him play.. would u describe him as rugged? Kog45: |

Joebie: I have seen him play up close and personal and he us strong, rugged and tenacious. You really can not compare him to Ebuehi or Shehu because he has not played in the RB position for Nigeria to make a fair comparison. Ola Aina is arguably the best RB in the championship. 1 Like |
