OK. Either the NFF refuses to call up our midfielders or we no get midfielders at all at all. Almost everyone on this site is in one of those two camps.
How about trying to do what Liverpool does, use a lot of long diagonal passes and train our forward players to fight for the second ball, if it is available? Now this tactic does not have to be used all the time, but any team facing us with a recovered 2nd ball and the likes of Osimhen, Moffi, Boniface, Chukwueze and Awoniyi will need a change of underwear.
