Junior spectator ally, for the first time ever I agree with you - we need football formation brewing experts like you1naija wrote:For once we say the truth!.YemiBrazil wrote:He should stop being unnecessarily over-academic by complicating simple things - we played series of friendlies. We all saw what happens each time we shift to 3-5-2. I am not an expert on football formations but what we all saw was the fact that our team was always way more comfortable with that formation. How our Einsteins arrive at how it won't work against Croatia is what I don't understand. When you allow our players play formations that they are comfortable with they will confuse even the inventor of the formation with the way they will use it to adapt to different opponents. Do your tweaks but let these boys play to their strength. There is only going to be one World Cup winner so let's have fun and fight it out till the end. At least if we crash out we know we gave our very best not shackled by some stupid formation.
We should have just stopped right there and save all the wasted space we could have been reserved for experts like me.

Good stuff Lolly. I just would highlight that things get opportunistically fluid. Croatia played a lot in depth against Nigeria, relying on possession, making opportunistic forays. It's not like chess, 4 white pawns vs 1 orange pawn arrayed statically, not that you don't know this.
I just think if Nigeria committed more men and time to attack, we'd have had even more quality counterattacks.

Re: Today Rohr Earned His Stripe As A Coach
I have to agree with u. He could have tried someone other than Ighalo. There must be someone else to try. Secondly, Victor Moses wastes too many balls - should have been replaced. I really doubt Rohrs competence.osita wrote:I am still not comfortable with his decisions, why did he remove Etebo when Mikel was showing tiredness? And brought in Igahol to replace kelechi?
Against Argentina, his luck will run out if he tried that. Congrats to the team

Re: Today Rohr Earned His Stripe As A Coach
Except that committing more men and time under a comfortable 3-5-2 won't give you any space for counter attacks. The 3-5-2 morphs into different linear numbers depending on whether you are attacking, building up or defending. In Brazil, Corinthians of the 2000s perfected 3-5-2 with wing backs while ultra conservative Internacionale had 3-5-2 that leaned more towards 5-3-2 for most of the game. The flexibility of 3-5-2 is the reason why conventional footballers don't like it.Lolly wrote:That is what I have been trying to tell our internet coaches.

For some strange reason, the current bunch of SE players appear to be very comfortable with it and we see even the complicated 'morphings' done very easily during 2nd half of some of those uncomfortable friendlies that we played.
It is not that complicated guys

Re: Today Rohr Earned His Stripe As A Coach
You still don't get it. One of your full backs will always be occupied staying with the wide player in the opposing 4-2-4 formation. And if he dares bomb forward, you will be done in a quick counter-attack down his position where the wide player will run towards our goal unopposed. That was why Modirc played deep, (giving us a false sense of security) so he can spread long balls to the wings.

We're capable in different formations. Issue in the first game wasn't formation.
With our personnel, 352 is the best option.
https://www.coachesvoice.com/tactics-cr ... ric-moses/
Analysis: Croatia
Croatia set up in an overtly attacking 4-2-4 formation, with Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic as the two central midfielders given the responsibility of distributing the ball to the four forwards. The attacking quartet consisted of Ivan Perisic and Ante Rebic on the flanks, and Mario Mandzukic and Andrej Kramaric through the middle.
Croatia’s performance and game plan in the first half was clear but highly ineffective. Modric and Rakitic would either send long passes from deep positions to get Perisic or Rebic in behind the full-backs to cross for the two strikers, or they would send the ball towards Mandzukic or Kramaric to hold up or flick on.
These passes rarely met their destination, spoiling the potential to create attacking opportunities. Croatia only posed a threat when Kramaric dropped a little deeper to offer a set option from Mandzukic or a different passing line for Modric and Rakitic. Perisic and Rebic swapped sides during the first half, but this didn’t change anything.
Croatia came out for the second half looking a much more threatening and well-structured unit. Marcelo Brozovic replaced Kramaric and played alongside Rakitic in the holding position, which pushed Modric further up the field to provide another line between midfield and attack to assist in the build-up.
Zlatko Dalic’s team now had an alternative plan away from the direct pass to Mandzukic, which allowed their star player, Modric, to get on the ball in more threatening areas than previously seen.
Out of possession, Croatia would press in a 4-4-2 mid-block with Perisic and Rebic dropping in to help Rakitic and Modric in midfield. One of the wide pair would push up to join the two forwards when the ball was with the full-back, while the opposite midfielder would tuck in with Rakitic and Modric.
With Croatia happy to let Nigeria have the ball at the back, their opponents would invariably lose patience and too often resorted to long balls towards striker Odion Ighalo – who was outnumbered and struggled to hold the ball up.
Not what they did when they had the ball. Even our team changed formation when we had the ball as against when we were out of possession.
