Re: Are we ready for a 3-5-2 formation?
I have long believed that 3-5-2 is our deadliest formation. How can you not play 3-5-2 when you have quality like Victor Moses on the wing? This formation strengthens our defence greatly while giving us numbers in midfield so that we can dominate midfield, keep the ball and create many chances for our clinical forwards (well Iheanacho at least ).
Wha choo looking at?!

Quick, quick...replace Onazi with Ndidi...
Ndidi is better at ball distribution...And he brings greater physical presence...

i agree, ball retention is mainly in the midfield.Scipio Africanus wrote:I have long believed that 3-5-2 is our deadliest formation.

Re: Are we ready for a 3-5-2 formation?
I'd love Omerou to be a bit faster but Moses can cover if he sustains his Chelsea discipline. I think this can be really good for us and compensate for our weak defenseoyek wrote:******************************Carl Ikeme************

Re: Are we ready for a 3-5-2 formation?
Ball retention in midfield has never moved the goalposts from their position. Overwhelm, overload, should be the mantra, aggressive pressure to recover the ball and overloading of targeted areas once recovered. The 3-5-2 doesnt provide enough width beyond the wingbacks, who, if pushed back, effectively sabotage the system. There's a big difference between 3-5-2 and 3-4-3, with Pedro making a nuisance of himself, the opposing fullback is often drawn in-field, affording Moses more space to move into. In a 3-5-2, the fullback stands their ground. An opposing winger may double-up and tag-team. A back three would certainly offer greater tactical variety with the remaining outfield players, but a 3-5-2, mba. Not just mba, but Monday to Sunday mba.
Re: Are we ready for a 3-5-2 formation?
I believe yes, especially considering that Iheanacho is a special player, but despite playing lone striker for Man City, actually had his best games for Nigeria (U-17 and SE) as a support striker.oyek wrote:What do you guys think?

Re: Are we ready for a 3-5-2 formation?
Isaac Success is not a wingback and would be a defensive liability. Better to play Etebo out wide where he's a very good two way player and has the lungs to run all day. This also enables Ndidi to come into the middle.
Iwobi is not a striker. Better to partner Iheanacho with Success. And where is the depth to support the starters? Apart from midfield and strikers there are no suitable backups behind the starters looking at our current personnel.
Sure, Nigeria can play this way for a game or two; or as a change up to counter the oppositions' strategy. But as our normal base formation no way.

Re: Are we ready for a 3-5-2 formation?
the joke that is success aside.....
this is not such a bad idea . You cant fit both Etebo and Iwobi into such a formation though
...Omeruo....Ekong....Oboabona
VicMo....Mikel...Ndidi............Amuzie
.................Etebo/Iwobi...........................
.......Nacho.......Ideye/Sadiq Umar

Re: Are we ready for a 3-5-2 formation?
I think 3-4-3 gives us better cover in the wide areas, therefore id go with
Ikeme
Omerou-Balogun-Ekong
Moses-Mikel-Ndidi-etebor/elderson/Amuzie
Iheancho -Success/ideye-Iwobi
