Confirmed line up (from Owngoal)
The Super Eagles of Nigeria are going to be lined up in a 3-5-2 formation when they take on Iceland later today in their second group game at the Russia 2018 World Cup in Volgograd.
Coach Gernot Rohr has ditched the 4-2-3-1 formation used in the 0-2 loss to Croatia and has also replaced some players who started in the first game but fail to convince.
Rohr has also revert Victor Moses to the right wing-back role he plays at his club Chelsea while Kenneth Omeruo replaces Shehu Abdullahi as the team moves to a formation of three centre backs.
Kelechi Iheanacho takes the spot of Odion Ighalo and he would be supported in a two man attack by Ahmed Musa who is in the squad at the expense of Arsenal forward Alex Iwobi who drops to the bench.
Full Line Up.
Francis Uzoho
Kenneth Omeruo
William Troost-Ekong
Leon Balogun
Victor Moses
Bryan Idowu
Mikel Obi
Oghenekaro Etebo
Wilfred Ndidi
Kelechi Iheanacho
Ahmed Musa
3-5-2
Now this is a very good line up!

This is going to slow down the eagles tremendously.
Kelechi will be quiet in front of Iceland.
Again, this is another timid line up guys!

OMG, you guys can never ever be pleased! The player everyone was screaming for has now been included and the offending player removed.cchinukw wrote:This is going to slow down the eagles tremendously.

It's quite possible Rohr is looking to replace Obi with Iwobi at some point in the game hence the inclusion of Musa.

Re: Confirmed line up (from Owngoal)
Not sure how it could possibly slow us down. You’ve got Musa and Moses as well as Kele who is no slouch. Idowu and Omeruo have amazing recovery in defence.cchinukw wrote:This is going to slow down the eagles tremendously.

What we don’t have here is creativity in the final third without Iwobi, and no great hold up play without Ighalo.
But I don’t think you can accuse it of being a slow line-up

Mikel has to be initiating from deep today and has to be on the pitch from blast to finish.

Re: Confirmed line up (from Owngoal)
Gernot makes dramatic changes for tonight's game against Iceland dropping Ighalo and Iwobi - See more at: https://goo.gl/BHprLE
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I am not convinced about this. Rohr appears to have pressed the panic button and acted in a rash and hasty manner.
He still has not sorted out where the creativity will come from. His obsession with players he likes is also something I cannot get my head round.

If this is true, then Rohr has finally accepted that the most natural goalscorer we have in the SE setup today is Kelechi Iheanacho. With Kele, it is not huff and puff, he can place his shots at goal with ease and accuracy. His positioning too in Box 18 is impeccable. I just hope that Iheanacho rises up to the billing because frankly so far in his SE career, he has proved way short of what we all know he is capable of.
Re: Confirmed line up (from Owngoal)
Ihenacho is capable of scoring half chances, that is what is needed today, the Ighalo i saw at Watford was a sharp striker, dont know if playing in China has taken away his natural instincts, i felt against croatia, we were too cautious due to respect of the opposition, Rohr set us not to lose but for 2 mistakes, that would have been the case, now they have to go for broke, you dont, that rusty DC 9 is waiting in the tarmac to bring you back home
So angry Nigeria got kicked out of the world cup once again, i nearly told my wife that i caught my girlfriend with another man today!

Re: Confirmed line up (from Owngoal)
I would have preferred Iwobi to Musa. Give Iwobi a free role behind Kelechi. Have Etebo and Iwobi be the creative element behind Kelechi. But it is an okay lineup. It is going to be a difficult game. Aggression alone is not going to win the game. We have to be patient and make smart team plays. Individualism or na me score am will not work.
Winners do it the right way.

Rohr is going to have to make dramatic changes at half time. This line-up will not work!

Re: Confirmed line up (from Owngoal)

How many half chances did Iheanacho score last game?
How many half chances did the team create last game?
Some Nigerians still don't understand that it is a team sport. Even Messi, the best player in the game failed to score against Iceland and Croatia because the team he plays for his rubbish.
Iceland beat England. They are no pushover. It is going to be difficult to score
Keys to victory.
1. Solid defense- set piece defending. Check the counter attacks, fight for every 50/50. Press up the field at the start of the first and 2nd half.
2. Patient and smart offense. Have a 2nd, 3rd,4th and 5th plan to open Iceland disciplined defense. Can't miss chances, because they will be limited to a few.
3. Luck
Winners do it the right way.

The difficulties of statistical thinking describes a puzzling limitation of our mind: our excessive confidence in what we believe we know, and our apparent inability to acknowledge the full extent of our ignorance and the uncertainty of the world we live in. We are prone to overestimate how much we understand about the world and to underestimate the role of chance in events -- Daniel Kahneman (2011), Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics

If Rohr did not change things they will say he's clueless and stubborn. If he changes things dem go talk say he pressed the panic button and things no go work. Do, na wahala, don't do, na fight.

Re: Confirmed line up (from Owngoal)
How on earth are Musa and Iheanacho going to cope with the highly physical Iceland defenders? These guys look and act like Vikings.
I cannot think of a match where we need Ighalo more than this! This is going to be a roughty toughty physical fight!

I actually want him to stay in even if we lose all three group games because his problem is that he does not know Nigerian players. What we need is continuity as happened under Father Tiko and Clemence Westerhoff.
If Rohr is in the job for four years, he will not be making these kind of mistakes. What he needs is the time to scout for and groom players.
Westerhoff went looking for players and eventually found them. I want Rohr to stay until at least the 2022 World Cup, so he can do likewise.
