I noticed :

1) Top Sprints against Croatia WERE DEFENSIVE and Ighalo nowhere to be seen

- Idowu (46)
- Shehu (41)
- Moses (34)

2) Iceland Showed importance of SPEED AND SPREAD OUT ATTACK than LONE STRIKER

- Musa (53)
- Iheanacho (42)
- Moses (36)
- Etebo (36)

3) Nigerian Midfield duo shows consistent importance of Ndidi + Etebo for possession

Top possession vs Croatia

- Ndidi (3,625m)
- Etebo (3,518m)

Top possession vs Iceland

- Etebo (4,577m)
- Ndidi (4,360m)

4) Nigeria is practically playing a 3 man central midfield. The difference in the Iceland game was Mikel stayed back to spray passes while Etebo moved more forward.

- Etebo Delivery/solo runs into the attacking third vs Iceland 6/2
- Etebo Delivery/solo runs into the attacking third vs Croatia 4/1
- Etebo Shots vs Iceland (2)
- Etebo Shots vs Croatia(2)

- Mikel Delivery/solo runs into the attacking third vs Iceland 7/0
- Mikel Delivery/solo runs into the attacking third vs Croatia 3/2
- Mikel Shots vs Iceland(0)
- Mikel Shots vs Croatia (0)

5) Moses offers greater penetration as a Wing Back than as a Winger but still needs to cross more into the penalty area

- Shots vs Iceland (3)
- Shots vs Croatia (3)
- Delivery/solo runs into the attacking third vs Iceland (9/5)
- Delivery/solo runs into the attacking third vs Croatia (2/1)
- Delivery/solo runs into the penalty area vs Iceland (2/1)
- Delivery/solo runs into the penalty area vs Croatia (1/1)

6) We need far more movement into the Box from the attack for goal opportunities

- Musa Solo Runs into the Penalty Area vs Iceland (2)
- Iheanacho Solo Runs into the Penalty Area vs Iceland (0)
- Moses Solo Runs into the Penalty Area vs Iceland (1)
- Nigeria Total Solo Runs into the Penalty Area vs Iceland (6)

- Iwobi Solo Runs into the Penalty Area vs Croatia (0)
- Moses Solo Runs into the Penalty Area vs Croatia (1)
- Ighalo Solo Runs into the Penalty Area vs Croatia (2)
