Eguavoen is playing Iwobi & Iheanacho wrongly says Okocha

[deanotito]

I don’t think Iheanacho up top for Nigeria is a good idea. He’s better behind the main striker…

Also, though I agree that Iwobi’s best position is in the middle or as a support striker, there are people ahead of him (or at least equivalent to him) in the pecking order for Nigeria in those positions. This isn’t like Rohr that would almost always play him over everyone.

When JJ win all him first round match in AFCON we go listen. For now I trust Eguavoen.

Jay Jay Okocha says Iwobi plays better as a 10 than as a winger and Iheanacho should be played up top.

Do you agree?

We need to realize the fact that it doesn't matter where Iwobi is played, he wont perform, left bench, right bench or on the pitch. He has been bad for a minute and until he regains his form, no position on the field will change that.

Nacho is doing well where he is being played at the moment.

Iheanacho does not press well so playing him as a striker will be inviting pressure on your team. Defense starts up front with mobile players like Awoniyi and Sadiq.

Says who?

Have you asked Mcguire?

Kelechi is deceptively strong.

[TonyTheTigerKiller]

We have to consider our particular situation to figure out the best position for Iwobi. Iwobi is more effective on the left side than on the right. He is a cut-in type of winger and being right-footed, not as effective coming in from the right side however, playing him on the left side might mean dispensing with Simon. If you choose to play him in the middle, that might mean leaving Aribo on the bench. The only other option would be to play him in the middle, with Iheanacho as a false 9, which leaves out Awoniyi. It is a big dilemma because playing Iwobi will leave one other good player on the bench and already, Eguavoen has a problem figuring out what to do with Nwakali


Cheers.

Did you just include Sadiq in “mobile players”?

You won’t like this……

As talent and characteristics go…..Sadiq is a far better striker than Awoniyi…

He is a better finisher, technically better and holds up the ball better….

His weakness…..adapting to a team’s way of playing.

Ok so he needs to adapt first before he can show these attributes? But how many games does he need and do we have the luxury of waiting it out esp now in the knock out stages?

[Bigpokey24]

To be honest once sadiq clicks , dude will be deadly. As I said we have so many options Vic, onu, awo and sadiq

That’s his problem….we don’t…..but that does not take away from his attributes and talent…..

I won’t play start him but to be honest, I won’t start Awoniyi either……but…..

If it ain’t broke…..
