Movement off the ball

[Bombastic]

[6] Do you think CCC, Onigbinde and Amodu ever raised the issue at their training sessions?

Do you think Lagerback ever raised it? Since it's clearly STILL a problem.

We are not yet there but I have seen some imporovements:

[1] Our first goal against North Korea
[2] Uche Kalu's miss against Argentina
[3] Taiwo's shot against Argentina

Leave Lagerback continue with the work he yhas started. Some of you are failing to realise how low a base we came from.

Do Nigerians coach our boys in their respective clubs? How come they then seemingly forget years of coaching by FCs? Again, with due respect, one week of camping with Amodu Shuaibu could never erase the near-daily drills these players get in Europe. Please let the players bear some responsibility too.

Back in 2002, I remember the Tunisia coach saying that he was always worried when his players came homefor weeks before playing matches because they tended to slump back into their nostalgia and complacency,losing some of the professionalism at their clubs. If you are coaching an African side,maintaining discipline is about 50% of the job.

Here is another example of excellent movement off the ball:

i agree excellent running off the ball. dont 4get 2 give a lot of credit to the other player running with viera in the other direction. his run forced the defender to run with him and that created space for viera. sound basic fundamentals. the guys should know to make runs when attacking. and also the coach should be able to point out basic stuff like this with persistence and emphasis!

Kalu Uche, movement off the ball, or slowly falling forward? Our players are too lazy, lacking in fitness and desire to exert themselves. Shittu was squeezing pe'pe soup from a Lucozade bottle after 15 minutes vs. Argentina, not to mention the handful of crayfish! Big Ron 'loadsa black friends' Atkinson reserves his special saying for players like ours!

Abeg, it's relatively easy to make the kind of deep runs Viera is making in that clip if you have Bergkamp (Henry or Pires) making incisive, timed to perfection, inch perfect passes to you. What's the point of making a run if Nsofor, Osaze or Etuhu have the ball?

Exactly,this what people are skipping.When those guys get theball mkaing a run is useless cuz their decion making is garbage.I was surprised Nsofor released Yak in that friendly against North Korea.These guys u mentioned are horribble ball hogs.

KPOM!
