Super Eagles stats: Russia 2018

-At age 19, Big Francis Uzoho is set to become the youngest member of the Nigerian team that will feature in this edition of the FIFA World cup in Russia.

- Vincent Enyeama is set to be usurped by Uzoho as Nigeria's youngest ever goalie to play at a World cup tournament. Enyeama was 19 years 9 months and 14 days when he made his WC debut against England at Korea/Japan 2002 but by June 16, 2018, Uzoho would be 19 years 7 months and 19 days if he starts against Croatia.

- Francis Uzoho, who also became the youngest ever foreign goalie in LA liga at age 18 years, 11 months and 17 days would also become the youngest goalie at the tournament having 32 teams. This beats Enyeama's back in 2002 when he featured as the 2002 WC's youngest goalie ahead of Spain's Iker Casillas (21 years 13 days) and Fabian Carini of Uruguay (22 years 5 months and 6 days).
Enyeama was not even the youngest we took to that World cup. It was Austin Ejide who was 18 years then. Only thing was that Ejide never got to play but Enyeama did feature.

you see the problem is English language, but i will help you.

when i say i need to eat, it does not mean food is available at that time but it means i require food at that time

when i say the bank need to sack there staff, it means what is require by the bank is to sack not like is happening at that moment

there is difference between need and want, when you replace need with want then it won't mean requirement but the action is about taking place

i dey do work wey your English teacher no do

JoebieII:
John Ogu is a shooter. And Ndidi can also shoot from afar on a good day. Having both as our double pivot can be an asset, considering they are naturally left-footed and right-footed, respectively. Mikel as AM and Iwobi as a false 9. That's another good thing to think about.

daveP:




Lol The timing of the pic is perfect. Like an eagle that just started ascent.


Lemme find trouble small..


The look on VicMo's face is kinda of envy that it wasn't him seeing the net. If he doesn't play more with a teammate when attacking, I'd have no choice than to remember him as just a selfish fellow even if he is 50million pounds now. Iwobi's contributions is slowly eclipsing his importance to the team winning.

Comprehensive analysis part 1

...................



After watching our England friendly again yesterday, here is my comprehensive reports of the match and players assessment




First of the block is our 4-3-3 formation which Rohr played in the first half. It wasn't a flat 4-3-3 rather it was a 4-2-1-3 where Onazi and Joel Obi were meant to shield the defence immediately while Mikel was to sit back behind our 3 attackers.

Ordinarily this setup should work if each man played his part well but unfortunately Onazi and Joel obi didn't and the whole team ended up paying for it.

[b]Onazi in particular was terribly piss-poor in that match that it seems it was a deliberate attempt to by him to disorganize our play. Damn, Onazi couldn't stay in his position, he couldn't mark, he couldn't pass, he couldn't hold on to the ball, he was everywhere but no where in particular. Several times he was caught out of position, and when we struggle to win back the ball and pass to him, Onazi will gladly gift the ball back to the English. The only time he made a successful pass was when he hurriedly returned a pass back to Joel Obi who initially passed to him because he was under pressure with 3 markers on him, but what did Onazi do?.. He passed back to Joel who was already choked obviously the ball was stolen. Onazi kept on leaving gaps after gaps for the English to exploit, he would rather do another person's job than do his. Several times Idowu and Joel will have their man marked only for Onazi to run in from nowhere claiming he wants to mark too. Mikel will go forward to press, and you will see Onazi chasing him Now we won't be talking about this issue if he was winning these balls, no! Because while he is running, Before he gets to assist his colleagues and inorder to double team the opponent,.. Fiam!... The opponent has passed the ball straight to the same spot where Onazi is coming from, leaving behind acres of space and time for a damage to be done. Again and again this repeated sloppy play was what Onazi kept on doing. It was terrible and an eyesore to watch. I wonder how he is going to remedy such shambolic display. He should be forced to remain in front of the two center backs please. As for Joel Obi, that one was another error going forward. They were several times he sent balls forward which didn't connect with our Frontline. He always kick the ball so waywardly without end product. In middle and defense, it was a battle between him and Onazi on who will get more in each other's way. He was busy playing what we call "anywhere belle face" football. Both on the ball and off the ball. He had no business clashing with Balogun because he should have seen that the ball was Balogun's to clear from miles away, he actually made us a laughing stock with that head clash[/b]

If Onazi or idowu or Moses had the ball, instead of opening for a pass, he will rather bump into them. Likewise Onazi, instead of opening for a pass, he will go and bump or intercept the player with the ball. Honestly, Rohr should have dropped one of the two.

Henceforth, i will suggest that if Rohr will play a 4-3-3 then it should be a flat one and should not be a 4-2-1-3 triangle anymore because with the triangle, plenty spaces will be left behind our CM and DM.

Let it be a trio of Onazi - - Mikel - - Joel instead of

Onazi - - - - - Joel
\ /
Mikel

The flat 3 man middle will be better than a triangle 3 man middle.


But honestly, 3-5-2 formation should be our main formation going into this world Cup. We succeeded in qualifiers against African oppositions using 4-3-3 but it seems 4-3-3 isn't working anymore against the rest of the world.

Football is dynamic, if we are well suited with 3-5-2 against world oppositions then by all means that is what we should be perfecting now.

Most matches are won from the midfield, whoever controls the middle dictates how the match will go, and whoever dictates how the match will go will most likely (around 80% of the time) determines who wins the game.

Let Rohr stop the experiments and focus on our midfield play and 3-5-2 formation perfection because as it is we don't have any problems with our Goalkeeping, Defense and attack. Our problem now is the our midfield... I repeat!.. We have a big problem in that midfield of ours.

Presently the midfield doesn't link up and provide supply for our strikers, the midfield doesn't provide cover for our defenders.. The midfield is presently not doing its job and Rohr is supposed to focus there. The middle is responsible for our uncoordinated play for so many matches now. Onazi and Joel should be made to sit on the bench with their seat belt fastened!!

Let Ogu, Etebo, and Ndidi pair mikel there henceforth.. Enough is Enough This experimentation with Joel Obi or Onazi must stop, it has to stop!!

realpoacher:


Exactly what I am saying.... Why keep midfielders who can add offensive bite to your team on the bench meanwhile playing those who add nothing both offensively or defensively hiding under the pretext of experience and big league when in actual ability both are yet to deliver after several matches.?

Ogu and Ndidi should be given more playing time pairing Mikel... Enough is enough

kai who is the bigger liar, calling others liars. eh forgiveness

I present to you the last 8 matches Bursaspor was involved in, in that order, and let's see what the progressive change of formations mean as regards Shehu and Agu

Where did Shehu benched Agu in the last 8 matches?

When was the first match Shehu played for the team in Turkey? January 27th, 2018

Did he bench Agu who just came back from serious injury? No. Agu still played on that day.

Did he bench him in the second match? No because Agu was suspended due to yellow card.

Did he bench him in the third match? I don't think so. Though Shehu started and Agu rested. It's called rotation because in the next match Agu played but Agu started from the bench.

So, did Shehu bench Agu in the fourth match? No. Shehu came on as a RM.

Did Shehu bench Agu in the fifth match? No Agu still started the match while Shehu played the RM position.

Agu still went ahead to start 5 matches save one. In which in three of those matches he paired Shehu but played the RM in one the match and missed one match due to suspension.

Where did he bench him?

Even in those 4 matches you claimed he benched Agu, Shehu played another role in a match.

So, who played in Agu role when Shehu played another role?

Definitely, Shehu never benched and confined Agu to the bench. Fact

Anything outside this, is a big fat lie.

Humility017:

was it not same mikel that have been tipping in the English team to win the world cup...

mikel really suffering from inferiority complex...still remember his reaction after he was elbowed by Giroud against France...something that would have Fetch the French man a card...he took it for fun.

mikel is not an aggressive captain. iwobi reaction that day...made me think twice...same player who has an affinity with England....could mean business when both teams played each other.....

that's the kind of player you need walk through tight rope

realpoacher:


Tbaba1234 is the team list for tomorrow match not out yet?....

I'd have to pray that neither Onazi or Joel starts the match... I am tired of seeing any of them already

Humility017:

it has to do with mental edge....
same could have been said of mikel...at least to prove the English press wrong in their opinion of him...also the likes of troost ekong at least to showcase his abilities and prove doubters wrong and lots more....

you just can't give what you don't have....it shows iwobi has that attitude...it is a positive one...a very agile and imposing player... someone that can't be intimidated.

SerVik:

When fullbacks attack, it is normal for DMs to cover for them. It is not a matter of leaving your role, it's a matter of covering gaps. As a matter of fact, some Nigerian coaches mistake this to mean that these players can play as fullbacks. We've seen keshi deploy onazi as a RB before and even Rorh used Ndidi as RB against Zambia. In a three man defense, when a wing back attacks, it is the role of the RCB and LCB to cover for them that is why you would always see azpilicueta temporarily take up the RB position when Moses attacks, but when it comes to the flat four back line, DMs conveniently do this.

What guardiola did this season was to reverse this system and have fullbacks slot in as DMs when the DMs attack.

I would assume you would have to take an action first now.. just ban someone for nothing.. usually i get banned by spam bots when i post stories on here repeatedly.

safarigirl:
lies.

Many people noticed him, I've been one of the pro-Ogi fans here and if you go to Twitter, he is one of the most loved players there, if not the most loved.

People notice Ogu enough

Joebie:
Me
I don tire for all these this vs that player. even among the 23 again?
. No player would singlehandedly take us far. They all have to play their parts as a unit for us to do well. Let’s talk tactics. Sometimes I’m beginning to think that some of these players are from our villages o.
