Without Nwabili we may have to change how we play

[ugly boy]

Our quick attacking comes from his distribution which allows Osimhen to win the 50/50 balls while Lookman tries to get the 2nd ball. This would be gone with Uzoho and with a goalie that is suspect on long range shots i would consider starting Yusuf as an extra body in midfield and play Alex as AM making the switch to 3-5-2. Moses as wing back is doable sitting Sanusi

I trust whatever lineup Peseiro comes up with. Thank you.

This is a bit of a stretch, don’t you think? Quick attacking starts with Nwabali???

Please I just want to competent goalkeeper. We can leave the attacking to the outfield players. Not every team is Man City.

Can you parry, dive, deal with crosses? Then,

No offense but this doesn’t make sense.
Who says Nwabili won’t be ready by Friday?

But he has a point.
A lot of things start with the Goalie, especially with ball distribution out of the back. Have you noticed that when Nwabali takes his goalkicks it is directed at a player and his accuracy is pretty good.

If you have a goalie with questionable kick accuracy and kicking power it changes things like the alignment of players when receiving a goal kick.
Uzoho has shown to be poor at his ball distribution so will require us adjusting to how we take our goalkicks and where the players align on the field during goalkicks.
When you drop (your midfielders and defenders) deep to take and receive goal kicks you will leave gaps that can be quickly exploited. It also allows the opposition to set up a press that could lead to turnovers.
So, it does change how you execute the basic of things like a goalkick.

My brother thanks for breaking down the simple concepts. Seems on this site we have a lot of empty barrels not contributing anything but quick to type insults

Disagree abeg. I want a goalkeeper to tend the goal. I can get Ekong to kick the ball if the goalie has a weak leg.

The way we played in the last match allowed no shots on target for the opponent. That should be the main priority as it wouldn't matter even if it were Lookman standing in goal.

If you knew Peseiro before he became our coach, you would know that the sustained high press is one of his specialty tactics that he deploys selectively. Many years ago, he used it for his Saudi team against out star-studded side. The result was the same - we didn't smell their goal area for 90 mins.

The kind of keeper you put in goal invites the shots. Adeleye case in point.
