Re: What Manner of Defence is Peseiro Putting Up for Zaidu?

It's not easy to cover 8 miles per game and Zaidu does that very well. Have y'all noticed that when the S Eagles are attacking, he is always up there with the attackers? It takes an immense amount of stamina to do that. And obviously when you have more players in attack, it makes it harder for the ...

Re: Boniface fit in current system

Assuming Vic is starts every game. What role could Boniface play in the current 343? Would he be able to play either of the wing positions? Or, is that when we change to the 352? Interesting times ahead when all the strikers return. IMHO, Peseiro is only trying to use the 343 formation to first bui...

Re: Boniface fit in current system

but serious the coach is over playing VO9. Perhaps the should only 45 minutes in the nxt game . Not only Osimehn, the other players as well. I quite understand Peseiro is trying to be safe. Ideally, I would have expected one change in the starting line-up that played against Angola relative to the ...

Re: My concern about the SA game.

My only concern is if we go to penalties. Then we are done. Peseiro needs to be more proactive in an attacking sense. This 343 cannot work forever. Especially against weaker teams, we need to come out and attack,without being reckless. I also hope Peseiro knows that this 343 isn't going to work for...

Re: 10 observations I have to make after the Angolan game

[1] Just as well Nwabali recovered. Look at that save he made in the first half [2] Ola Aina was good again today [3] Zaidu Sanusi is not good enough for this team [4] Ekong must always play [5] Bassey must always play [6] If we play with a back three, Ajayi must join them [7] If we want to win thi...

Observation on our goals scored in AFCON 2023

My observation of most of the goals we have scored so far in the AFCON tends to come from the Left Wing ! seems our attack is very strong from that side or is more focused on that area.

Re: SE from the Point of View of Angola's Strengths and Weaknesses

Thank God say no be una be coach sha. We do not play a two man midfield. Not even in the attacking phase. The team will maintain the same formation. Depending on how Osimhen plays - similar to CIV where he held the line versus CMR where he ran channels and was the first pressing action, we might se...

Re: Lineup v Angola

I would rather play with the same formation (4 3 3) and line-up we used in our first game against Equatorial Guinea. Equatorial Guinea is the best opposition we have played so far. The only change I will make would be to replace Zaidu in the Left Back and Moses Simon in the Attack. Calvin Bassey has...

Re: SE vs Angola loading

Angola is going to be the most difficult opponent we have played so far in the competition. They are a better side than Cameroon. We just have to be battle ready against them.

Re: Iwobi is Terrible

To be honest, Iwobi is really terrible ! His performance today was nothing to write home about ! He's being played out of position. Why would you get one of your smartest and best attacking players to do dogs work. That's on Peseiro and thos stupid 343. You may say it has worked. But against toughe...

This doofus of a coach is willing to risk not playing his most prolific goal scorer because of his useless little ego, may God help him if we fail to win tomorrow. Iheanacho is very lazy ! He could end up been a liability to the midfield. I would rather stick with Samu/Simon whom would put in the w...

Re: Let’s play with 2 strikers

Yes, osimhen hasn’t been proficient at scoring thus far, but his overall performance has been much solid than chukwueze and Simon, and I will rather the latter be dropped . Why can’t our coach utilize similar formations that keshi used in 2013. (433 or 4312) To me, our most impediment has been the ...

You take it down on your chest and volley in. I've seen Yekini score those with absolute ease.

You dey watch ball ! Elaho to Yekini in 1992 against Kenya. Baba Yekini go bury that ball !
