Waka Boy said there was no problem with our midfield

You fools STILL don't get it.

YOU DO NOT PLAY ONLY 2 MIDFIELDERS.

Yet our coach went from 442 to 343, making sure we only have 2 midfielders.

Our only match we played 433 was actually our best match. How did our coward coach not realize this.

I don't understand our unhealthy fixation with two central midfielders??
the key to success is defensive solidity and this is built from the midfield !!
its not rocket science and we repeat this error over and over
we need a mindset change

Because they were out numbered by CIV and hence. What can two payers do in midfield against more?

3 CMs any new coach that says otherwise better not be hired…I don’t get this fixation…How do you play 2 and one of them is not even a real CM in Iwobi…anyways we’ve said it countless time, but boys were winning so nobody is gonna rock the boat…

VE,
'
'If CIV played with only two, or three midfielders, why then were we nullified, or rendered passengers in the middle? The ball was always on our end of the field. When I noticed it, I knew we will not win the game

How many times did we get broken down in the middle? 3 CM's werent going to do jack in this game. The game, as predicted was lost on the wings. All that CIV did EVERY SINGLE TIME they got the ball was to send the ball to the wings to Adingra and Gradel and whip crosses into the middle for Haller. It wasn't freaking rocket science what they would do. This is what I said before the game:
We playing 3-4-3. Anyone who thinks they will change a formation that led them to the final is high on Ayahuasca. The only real question is whether Zaidu is fit to start or Bright will replace him. I pray we have Zaidu fit as we need Aina manning that RB spot. Heller's height and positioning will be a major problem to deal with in this game.

They did it every single game they played once Haller and Adingra returned. We failed to counter that effectively. Simple and short.
We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand

He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.

Oh shut up.

The best form of defence is ATTACK.

What do you think will happen when we play cowardly football and sit back.

Our offense was impotent because we were one dimensional. Our main creative outlet in Iwobi was reduced to a water carrier. There was no link between midfield and attack.

We were toothless and sat back inviting pressure from the wings.

343 was and IS the problem.

As was 442

Because of only TWO midfielders. That is not rocket science.

Stop pretending to be smarter than you are and admit the obvious staring you in the face.

When I said it in this forum, majority coaches in this forum shouted me down. When I earlier predicted we were going to draw with Lesotho during the WCQ a lot of people did not believe it. I knew Peseiro 343 was nothing but a scam way of playing 5 man defence and timid football at the expense of the midfield.
