Uzoho, Balogun, and Aina!
They were by far our best players. Aina has been our most consistent player the past year and half.

Re: Uzoho, Balogun, and Aina!
Aina in particular was very good. That acceleration na wa, and that pass to Aribo, deserved better.
Re: Uzoho, Balogun, and Aina!
Aina is prime to be a wingback in a 3-5-2 setup.
Ebuehi is right there behind him.
Zaidu, Collins & maybe Bassey are ready on the other side.
Hopefully Egu sees this glaring fact and drops this archaic 424/442. Once you see it, you can plan against it. It worked against Egypt for the first time and inferior opposition like Guinea Bissau and Sudan.

Re: Uzoho, Balogun, and Aina!
Still in shock that Egu insists on playing Nacho in a 4-4-2 set up & can't read that the midfield will be overrun. This is not 1994 for goodness sakes!!! Etebo-Aribo-Bonke or Onyeka midfield 3 will give you balance and free Osimhen up top. Pairing Osimhen & Nach is a cluster

Re: Uzoho, Balogun, and Aina!
Watched the game and not once did I worry about the goalkeeping.
Aina is a top player for us... adjusted so well to African footie. We will even see a more dynamic play for him when he gets a midfielder in front of him who can cover for him when he makes his runs.
I love seeing him overlap... I like the confidence and swagger.

His excuse (and understandably) is that he hasn’t had a chance to try out other formations, so he’s just keeping with the formation the players were used to from the previous coach.fledy wrote: ↑Fri Mar 25, 2022 11:20 pm Still in shock that Egu insists on playing Nacho in a 4-4-2 set up & can't read that the midfield will be overrun.

Re: Uzoho, Balogun, and Aina!
Lmao, without the ball, he probably wants Samu and or Simon, to tuck in and help Aribo and Bonke. So, if the ball is on Samu's side, he should help his wingback, while Simon tucks in and makes it a 3 man midfield.bret- hart wrote: ↑Fri Mar 25, 2022 11:32 pm If I see that stupid 4-2-4 formation on tuesday i will just switch off the TV and go to the gym.
It clearly will never work, Samu doesn't have a defensive instinct in his body, and Simon, though willing is too lightweight.
He needs to make things as simple as possible for these guys as far as I'm concerned. He is asking way too much of Aribo, Bonke, Simon and Samu, especially as Kele seems always to be in his own Senior man world.

Re: Uzoho, Balogun, and Aina!
I agree 100% All the other players seems to run aimlessly around the pitch. It is disgusting to watch.
But for the facta that this Ghanaian team are themselves piss poor, we would have chop goals. Osimhen was left all alone in the front. Simon lost possession so much you think he's in a trance. They have now put themselves under severe pressure. We cannot afford any score draw in Abuja.

Re: Uzoho, Balogun, and Aina!
Troost to a good extent performed well too. But when defenders become your star players because they keep needing to make last ditch interceptions, then your tactics aren't working too well.furiously frank wrote: ↑Fri Mar 25, 2022 11:43 pmI agree 100% All the other players seems to run aimlessly around the pitch.

we do NOT have a GK problem.

Liverpool, European Champions 2005.
We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Re: Uzoho, Balogun, and Aina!
Someone thought I was crazy for saying Uzoho is the right goalkeeper for a game like this - just a day or two ago. With a Okoye in goal today we would have lost. Easy to see. The way we defended decently at the AFCON, Eguavoen’s team would have kept a clean sheet to the final with Uzoho in goal instead of Okoye. Call me crazy but I’m only an objective astute observer.txj wrote: ↑Sat Mar 26, 2022 12:51 ambret- hart wrote: ↑Sat Mar 26, 2022 12:35 amMan If GQ model was in goal na at least 2 goals we for chop today.Undertaker wrote: ↑Sat Mar 26, 2022 12:29 am Dude, it is criminal that Uzoho isn't our number one goalkeeping!

Are you saying that things you do not know, do not exist, just because you do not know that they exist?

Rohr played 433 many times.
If a coach cannot play different formations what the foc* is he a coach for ? Is this amateur night, like wtf do these guys do in training ? I've never heard anything so stupid.
local coaches suck balls man.

Uzoho, Balogun, Aina
Bonke looked good too tbh, full of energy, I take back his "bricklayer" status. Decent backup to Ndidi.
THE BAD
Chuks and Simon have been poor, but its more an indictment of the foolish Egu and his stupid 442.
Nacho doesn't do enough to be a starter, he is minus one.
Egu is a piss poor clueless coach. I have to keep saying it. An outdated dinosaur.
