InnerCacus 11

Post by muyiwalawal »

Akpeyi
Omeruo RB
Bal
Ekong
Echi
Onazi
Etebo
Mikel (AM)
Victor Moses
Iwobi
Iheanacho

Minor changes.
I'm so not comfortable with Etebo as holding when we have Ndidi...

i suspect you are wrong (as usual)
my expectation is that Etebo will play ahead of Mikel in the AM role.
Mikel will play in CM along with Onazi

Omeruo at RB interesting.

We can't find a RB.

I doubt Etebo will be the holding midfielder. He will go forward.
Winners do it the right way.

Etebo is a big worry for me. Still have memories of his play against Egypt.

Etebo played well against Egypt, scored a goal for Nigeria. My worry is Omeruo. The injury plagued defender that has lost a step will be going up against tricky players like Mahrez and Brahimi.

He can be very useful as an attacker but holding midfield is a no no IMHO. I don't think he can organise and build up but he may surprise me. Without the ball we may struggle in the middle...

We go fast and press hard. Ideye and ndidi and musa come on in the second half to keep Algeria on the back foot.

This must be a 3-4-3 formation.

Etebo is playing behind Nacho.. He has the engine to keep coming deep to compact the midfield and also ghost into scoring positions

I think so. Must be


AKPEYI

Omeruo Balogun Ekong

Moses Mike onazi. Echieje

Etebo. Nacho. Iwobi

It's 541 when defending,Moses,Echiejele and Etebo drop back. Could actually be a tuff defense to break if Mikel commits to covering the defense.

you mean when he scored our only goal over two legs?
my guy Etebo is an absolute gem - arguably nigeria's most powerful weapon in years to come
but for some reason he has not yet been allowed to play the positions he does most damage at SE level - LWF and AM
Lets just pray Rohr bucks that trend this afternoon

True but at the end of the day, it was meaningless. I am happy for him that he scored but there is something about his game that looks off. The fact that no one really knows what his position is is really strange too. I doubt he himself knows what his best position is.

So his goal is "meaningless" but those who did not score made a more "meaningful" contribution...only on CE! :oops:

That was his original position before playing in the central defense.

Abegi, don't mind these folks...
The MYTH of Etebo not playing well against Egypt (at least in the first game) largely exists only on CE!

Nonetheless, I would be surprised if Etebo plays the holding role today...
He has shown to be more effective playing in an advanced role, and Mikel can handle the holding role.

No, it is NOT...
He played in CD at both U17 (2009) and U20 (2011) levels.

He first played at RB at Ado Den Haag and was very PEDESTRIAN...
And after playing at CD at ANC 2013, even Ado Den Haag switched him to CD (where he flourished).

I've been a little uncomfortable with Mikel's game of late despite the fact that the general consensus has been that he is playing better for the SE.
I might be wrong but I still get the impression that he gets robbed of the ball far much more than he ever has in Chelsea colours.
I can't put my finger on it but I feel that since taking on the captaincy, he tends to play what we have always called 'big man' football. Once upon a time in the very recent past it was the rule that you do not and could never collect the ball off Mikel.
Somehow, that no longer seems to be the case.
Is it his new advanced role that is responsible or is he becoming a little more arrogant in his game, taking opponents for granted?
Yet it rarely happens in Chelsea colors.
