SE 11 V CAMEROUN

[EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA]

This is probably the most important game since we drew with Algeria in Algiers to qualify for wc 94. The rest, they say, is history. Had we not qualified there would never have been a SE vs Italy,Bulgaria or Argentina at the wc. We would never have had the golden generation that still impacts our football till today. It all started after gutsy performance in a do or die game in Algeria.

The game against cameroun is of enormous consequence. How would u roll out of the tunnel in uyo? Who are your soldiers?

I'd go with this team

[Enyi]

Let me start off with ready made insults when the team loses.

Ediot, Wowo, shaaaaarap

Why start with Aina, base on what? He couldn't get on the Chelsea bench, Elderson was our best player against SA
We know that the omeruo experiment on the right doesn't not work why does this clueless coach keep persisting with it....
Mikel is too old to play DM, he needs Onazi by his side. Heck Onazi has been our best player in the past decade
I have been saying play Nwakali and Ajagun they are the best players we have now if not ever
Ideye can't score to save his life......

Shall I continue?......


Only the coach watches these guys train, eat sleep......let him make his own suggestions and as long as we have someone that picks players based on merit, am happy cos, I hope in the long run, it will set a precedent for our coaches to come...,.local or foreign.....

[vancity eagle]

One thing I noticed we had too many small weak players out there.

We need bigger more physical yet TECHNICAL players which is why I am very big on Success but he needs to cut out his annoying diving act.

[malamax]

Yesterday was an indication of not just poor selection but most importantly lack of mental toughness. Cameroon are a very proud football country who do what it takes to win and have a culture of powerful dominance. They have played a lot of big games and are more dangerous on the road where they have won all their trophies. Does that mean eagles can't beat them? Ofcourse not...but eagles have to go back to the mindset of their winning days and put aside the distraction of fame and fortune. Before every game,Cameroonian legends assemble in the dressing room to remind the team what they represent and to maintain the rich tradition. It's bigger than any one player. The eagles camp right now is like starting over again...why? They were champions not too long ago and have been in the bast both in the continent and the world stage.

I'm not in the least bit worried about the loss to SA, it forces his hand to go in the direction I believe this generation of SE needs to go. We need power,pace,skill and attitude to reach our goal. Starting Iwobi,Moses and nacho up front might work against Spain or England but it won't in Africa. Infact, I'm happy we lost this game instead of losing to Cameroun at home and having to recover in a few days.

You should have added this ... I have been saying that JJ should be recalled. If he had played, it would have been an easy win.

[smartbrother]

Aina at LB? Isaac Success? what a joke lol

Ndidi is not ready for SE, a midfield of mikel, onazi, etebo/ogu will suffice, iwobi has the quality but he needs quality players to understand his vision. an attack of Victor Moses, iheanacho and iwobi will suffice

[Bigpokey24]

Mikel is a must, Leon is a must( anytime bobo no dey the defense is a joke) Ikeme is a must, Ideye is a must, VicMO is a must. I could careless of the rest

UAW is past his best. Omeruo at RB is a disaster waiting to happen. No pace, slow reaction!

[Tobi17]

I'm shocked people are still including Uwa in our line up, that dude is done and offers nothing, at this point we have to raise questions as to what happened to Aina? hasn't Fifa cleared his switch yet? maybe we should give Moruf a chance(I expected Rohr to debut him against South Africa)...and we have too many defensive minded players in that midfield....the onazi/Etebo/Ndidi experiment can't work, it can't create chances that will fetch us goals! we need more attacking minded midfielders, maybe playing Iwobi in that role with Mikel might work, the likes of Nwakali, Ajagun, Aluko are creative midfielders as well..no more to ball hustlers, we need cerebral players.

[wiseone]

Except that by the time the game comes around, some of these players will be unavailable for selection due to injury, club issues, loss of form, divorce, famly wahala, or because they got lost on their way to the stadium.

[Tobi17]

I can't believe we will field a bunch of butter inexperienced boys and expect thrilling results, even Ghana despite fielding young players didn't make that mistake of omitting experience.

[chief nfachairman]

MIkel, Moses, Balogun, Eyeama/ Ikeme must be there.

If Ideye chopped bench against Algeria for Nacho, he would more likely chop bench again. Its not as if he's strenght is like Drogba's that it would make a world of difference. Against Zambia, they chanced him twice.

I think Kayode would get the nod. He was built for that position, he is fast, strong, tireless and can score.

Success i love, but would he be fit?

Finally, you cant bring in more than 2 new players to the starting 11 due to team chemistry.

***************Ikeme/Eyeama******************

***Omeruo***Balogun****Troost****Elderson

***********Ndidi/Onazi****Mikel (CM)************

*******************Etebo***************

***Omeruo***Balogun****Troost****Elderson

**************Ndidi/Onazi****************

****Etebo*********Mikel*************

***********Nacho/Ahmed Musa (Support Striker)
****************Kayode/Nacho**********Moses

With the second formation, we don't have a striker isolated. Etebo plays right midfield and moses comes in from the left wing or vice versa.

For leaving out Onazi and Iwobi from the 11, and for pulling Nacho back behind the main striker, thank you.
BTW I am not sure of Aina and Success. Success appears to be a supersub type of player, not a starter.

Nacho and Iwobi both had zero attempts on goal against a well organized other average SA defense. Against a very good well organized cameroun defense they will be pocketed so easily that they might score own goals.

[marutimon]

Iwobi may not be ready yet, but at the moment I don't see any better options for him. However Etebo and Iwobi should be fighting for one spot. Long term I expect Kelechi Nwakali to own the AM position. Also due to his freekick ability.

Iheanacho must be a starter, but we must play to his strengths - winger, second striker or AM. Not playing him is like not playing Neymar or Mbappe. Madness. This is our true World Class level talent and we need to treat him as such.
