Haba zaidu!!!
LOL. He just second guessed himself there. Not sure what’s up this tourney for him, he has been better offensively for the eagles in the past.SylverEagles wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 6:39 pm If we talk now, they will come and tell us how Zaidu is Roberto Carlos and Cafu rolled into one.
What a waste.
Iwobi is not good defensively. He's not proactive and kinda lazy when it comes to tracking players.metalalloy wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 6:37 pm Like i said in the other thread, i disagree with the notion that Iwobi is as good as Simon defensively

Look at the defensive work and positioning of Iwobi in the middle and you'll see. Dont forget Iwobi played RWB at Everton for a season or so.metalalloy wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 6:37 pm Like i said in the other thread, i disagree with the notion that Iwobi is as good as Simon defensively

I think he left his brain in Portugal or wherever it is that he plays.metalalloy wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 6:40 pmLOL. He just second guessed himself there.

I think he actually has the skills for this system. Perhaps he is not in form or he has never played a 3-4-3 before so doesnt understand what to do, in terms of positioning.truetalk wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 6:39 pmCoaching is not too hard.truetalk wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 6:13 pm Zaidu is being asked to do something he isn't capable of.
He is a decent defender, but not good going forward, as such cannot be a wing back or wing forward.
Bruno may be better at this stage. Tyronne and Jamilu Collins should have been the extra men for this squad if we want to keep using this formation going forward. 6 wingbacks/wingforwards/full backs (whatever you choose to call them)
These guys are going to make the fans turn on Zaidu, & it will be unfair.
He does not fit this system.

People are forgetting Zaidu release the ball for Simon Moses, which led to the goal. Defensively, he has covered Bassey very well.truetalk wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 6:39 pmCoaching is not too hard.truetalk wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 6:13 pm Zaidu is being asked to do something he isn't capable of.

I agree with you 100%. Iwobi's positioning is impeccable in the middle. The other thread suggested replacing Simon on the wings with Iwobi in order to accommodate Alhassan. I said there that you lose out on Simon's speed on counter attacks and recovery on defense. There is no way Iwobi is chasing down that Angolan when they countered like Simon did, or even getting to that pass that Simon got to before the Angolan defender leading to the goal. He is just too quick.danfo driver wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 6:41 pmLook at the defensive work and positioning of Iwobi in the middle and you'll see.

Defensively is less than 50% tackling (which i believe Iwobi is better), its a lot about positioning and tracking. Put Simon in the middle and it wont be a good sight
For me he's played well on the defensive end of the game. But when it comes to crossing, he has zero confidence which is a head scratcher for a Porto FC player.imehjunior wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 6:40 pm Zaidu na waste pipe. Complete short one. No way anyone picking him during a game of set.
dude has been everywhere tday, everywheremetalalloy wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 6:36 pm Look at that recovery run by Moses Simon. What a two way player!!!
