The wingbacks absolutely have to bomb forward or we will really struggle to create.
and this clown coach took Echijele over Aina.
To further compound his stupidity he seems to prefer Shehu over Ebuehi.
Is he watching different matches from the ones we are watching ?
Yes, I dont agree with the Uwa callup. I think that's likely based on seniority and the need for 'leadership', it's definitely not based on ability.
I was one who thought Shehu offered more defensively than Ebuehi and at least as much going forward.
I really thought Tyronne's main upside was his speed. I have seen enough now to reassess my position. Ebuehi will make mistakes in DEFENSE but I think now that he offers more going forward and we will need that. Also, I think he's a bit more aggressive which we will need. There was a play early today when Shehu was fouled and while getting up, he was trying to shake the hands of the Czech attacker who had kicked him down, and that one ignored him. It may be neither here nor there but I think the Czechs laid an early benchmark with their kicks and Shehu wasn't ready for that. Again, may be neither here nor there.
The last few games have not done Shehu favors BUT it's important to note that the outlet balls to him have also been lacking. I can count several occasions today where VM or Mikel just failed to play the right pass into the space behind the defense for him to run onto. One way or the other Ebuehi is stretching the field where Shehu hasn't and it's vital that we stretch the field.
His speed is definitely his advantage. His recovery rate was very impressive today and he at leasts positions himself to slow down counter attackers. He definitely allows us to stretch play better than Shehu as he shows an inclination to go forward a bit more. That at least keeps the opposing winger and full back occupied.
I agree that Shehu has been ignored on multiple occassions when he overlapped.
