How you have two beastly forwards in Lookman and Osimhen but still struggle for goals.

Personnel deployment problem.

Right tactically balanced picks seem alien to our coaches.

There are 11 on the pitch, the other players how many of them are beastly?

In fact Lookman would have scored a hat-rick if the other players he played with were beastly

On current form, surely look man is good enough to play for man city or Liverpool? Doku isn’t a better player than lookman

How to pick fast midfielders that look once and drop a into space for the kinds of Lookman and Osimhen is currently a problem in the SE setup. No dulling. Colet ball, and release shapali. Game dey shapali open up that way cos even without pressing, opponents are nervy after 2 scares under 15mins.

Then sustaining that approach again. One sub and pressure just drops. 😭

Lookman balled but I will give Retegui some grace for his miss. The ball came to him at a lot of pace and was almost knee high. That is a difficult chance to keep below the cross bar

Moses simon is underrated. I suspect he deserves a chance in a big club like manu, Tottenham, juventus etc. He might do well there. He us damp efficient

Tom saintfelt will be our best bet for fireing ciach.
We need a ciach that understands abd appreciates african/Nigerian football.
African players have their mentality. The issue a foreign coach may have is thinking every player in a top 5 league is the best.
Such a coach may not notice players like chiba akpim, samson tijsni, sodiq awujola, Collins yirs sor etc may be better than our stars in top 5 leagues. Players like this can come in as a substitute and score a winning goal.
Tom saintfelt won't make such a mistake as he has being in Africa for long.

baba you nailed it.
I am even thinking playing Lookman and osihmen upfront in a 352 format. Iwobi playing left wing back with midfield trio of onyeka, onyedika and dele/Uche then ola Aina as the other right wing back. I left ndidi for some reasons.

With this Iwobi can cut into midfield when necessary. He is that intelligent , Lookman can be free to drift to the wings and also forward position like he does in atalanta. Dele can pounce on lose balls because he has that shot taking in him. Of course our normal three defenders. Look at what Lookman was feeding the strikers yesterday de ketelaere and retegui. Osimh,
en will damage Madrid with those balls. Lookman prevails when he acts as a decoy drifting into the left wing and striker positions. He picks holes excellently and his quick thinking can cause damages to defenders when he is inside that box. Playing and restricting him to the wing reduces his efficiency.

If we get good personal deployment seriously we are good to go. Watching ademola yesterday, I was in awe. What a gem we have. Our coaches should watch these guys and play to their strength. I believe there is a reason Fulham coach doesnt give Iwobi that central midfield role some crucial matches allowing him in that left wing to act as a creative outlet which the young man interprets awesomely.

This is how creative I want Looman to also be when playing for the eagles. He doesn't always have to go for the goal himself especially when he isn't sure of it.

100% accurate long balls
100% successful dribbles
11 final third entries
8 recoveries
3 tackles
1 clearance
Was fouled 3x
Committed 2 fouls

I just hope they don't end up in playoffs position

When I said here that our national team coaches should be more dynamic with our players to get more goals from them excuses were made that there was no enough training time for that. Make we continue our mediocre game smh
