The 4-4-2 is a great formation but will NEVER work for Nigeria as long as Mikel is playing. Naija cannot afford to play with one holding midfielder. It just won't work and has never worked. When kanu and Okocha were in front of Oliseh, their possession along with Amunike and Finidi even up till 2000, helped. The defense was always vulnerable on the world stage.

Secondly, the team does not need two central strikers. Statistically, we have done better with a lone striker and more beef in the center at the Mundial.

The last option is to play three at the back and two up front and keep two wide midfielders and two holders. If Moses and Iwobi or Simon are your wide forwards/midfielders, you only need Ighalo up front. Possession is more important than chances and counter attacks are not started in the attack.

Completely disagree, he is definitely faster than the Ebuehi i've seen play for SE.

With the inclusion of Joel Obi, Onazi will head to the bench. The starting midfield will likely be Ndidi- Joel Obi- Mikel.Onazi, though bullish, has lost some luster since going to Turkey. His last few games for the team have been ho-hum, and he has mostly been an errant passer of the ball. Joel's quality shone through in practices and the Poland match.

You need to see an eye doctor.

And which doctor do you need to see? Psych...? Can you prove he is faster? Not sure what the antagonism is about but I highly doubt you can prove your position so it’s just our opinion and so we can agree to disagree, well after you see the shrink first.

What antagonism?

You have watched both Shehu and Ebuehi and doubled down on your assertion that Shehu is faster. The only way to come to that conclusion is if you are not seeing properly. So in the spirit of CE brotherhood I have suggested that you see an eye doctor.

What's antagonistic about that? Or am I no longer allowed to be my brother's keeper?

I love this one, but for me it is either Iheanacho or Ighalo, never both at the same time. Bring in Iwobi, the combination of Moses, Mikel and Iwobi would trouble any team!

Not knocking Shehu or suggesting that he can't hold his own against pacy wingers. Just saying that Ebuehi is the faster player. For real, Ebuehi has got pace. I would have thought that was obvious. Surprised that you don't see it. It was obvious against Argentina. And if you've caught any number of his games in the Netherlands, it's obvious there as well. He's the fastest of our 5 fullbacks.

And in the same spirit of brotherly love I said you should kindly seek a shrink.

I watched all the so called fast players from the Cameroon winger from the last ANC to Mahrez go against Shehu and non burnt him for pace while Elderson on the other side was getting burnt anyhow. Ebuehi is not known as a speedster so I don’t know why it’s so outrageous a statement that I made.

I think maybe Echiejile stole your girlfriend or something. You never miss an opportunity, however inappropriate, to take a swipe at him


Cheers.
