Some comments here are baffling. Same Sodiq Ismail that was to be signed by an Albanian club this January. The Albanian club pulled out of the deal saying Sodiq is suffering from “Cardiac Insufficiency “ which is the polite way of saying he don old. Make Sodiq focus on his Career and forget SE.

How does Cardiac Insufficiency and being old relate?
BTW when did the Albania club say this?

If we sort our defensive & creative issues, I think we can win
Im just not confident in all the defenders we have
I wish Adarabioyo had declared already for us
Coach should drop Ndidi & play Onyeka as DM, Ndidi doesn’t have 90 minutes intensity anymore. He can always come on for Onyeka
Uche should play box to box or move to AM role if Iwobi gets substituted for Onyekachi
He should start Iwobi as AM & bring in Bashiru in the second half
Coach needs to caution whoever would play in the right wing and right midfield, they need to help Aina at the right back
I think Bruno starts ahead of Agu based on athleticism
Maybe they switch between 3-4-3 and 4-3-3 in the game.
I think Chukwueze can play free role better than Lookman, so Chukwueze can sometimes drift in the middle
Lookman is so used to Italian league style 3-4-3
I doubt if he’d severely trouble the opposition if we play 4-3-3. I hope we score first & in the first half. If we can play with intensity and score 2 goals in the first half, the last quarter should be time wasting and managing the game properly
I think if coach gets his defense personnels correctly as well as energetic midfielders. We will get 6 points in September
I wish super Eagles good luck
Im not confident we have the right defenders though
Im now confident we have a solid midfield and strike force
Coach should take out the players who don’t show individual brilliance in the team.
Individual brilliance, pace, physical power is what we can rely on since the South Africans have team chemistry checked
Iheanacho shouldn’t be called for September games, he’s not lethal, crafty and quick anymore
All coach needs to do in our midfield is take out Papa Daniel and bring back Iwobi post friendlies
Why the so much disrespect on Ademola? Because he doesn't make noise on SE or what? If Ademola had opted to play for England and with his stats in the last 2 Seasons, he will be guaranteed a starting shirt at the left side of attack.

Ogbeni you are contradicting yourself. Formation is not important but the interpretation, what are the players interpreting (formation). How a team attack or defend as a group is what we refer to as formation. So my dear goodjoe, Finidi was wrong and you are also wrong.

Finidi can't be wrong. The point is clear. No matter the formation you set, with poor interpretation, the formation will not succeed. However, if the players are trained to interpret formations effectively, no matter the formation you set, they have a high chance of winning. So the formation is not as important as understanding how to interpret formations.

Finito.

Chelle's decision to throw Benjamin Frederick into the deep end after watching him train for 2 days was an audacious one.

This is exactly what friendlies should be used for. Not what we had under Rohr and Peseiro.

Chelle couldn't hide his iration at full time. What a baller.

I saw the talk about Chelle benching Iwobi and Playing Chuks at #10. Everybody is entitled to their opinion but a single game is not enough to come into this conclusion.

From the Chuks highlight posted up there, Chuks didn't just find himself at #10, he was given FREEDOM to roam. Something similar to how Enrique set up his team.

He did play well but saying Chuks should play midfield henceforth will be going overboard. Iwobi has his faults but one thing about him I ire is his football intelligence.
True sha, but if Iwobi is still playing at the 10, and Chukwueze is playing free, who wan come dey wings?

Except we wan play 4-1-2-3

Iwobinho and Chukwueze behind Lookman, Osimhen, Tella... But we no get that ONE DM wey go hold the middle well 😂

Chukwueze will just stick to the RW when Iwobi comes back tho 😁... At least he don get the hunger to play...

Nice observation but no be every time Chuks go dey come roam come inside. And anytime he does, I trust Iwobi to be smart enough and take up vacated spaces.

Or.. a case where the RB (Daddy Daniel?) holds the width and the CDM drops back to make a back 3. And Iwobi drops deeper to partner the other midfielder.

Not at all, it's well deserved. Don't forget he was also instrumental in eliminating Salah Liverpool from the UCL that he won. And without doubt he is also currently the best right back in the world

Remove Ndidi and replace him with Onyeka as a dm or Onyedika. There is nothing Ndidi brings to the team right now that Onyeka or Onyedika wouldn't.
Then also, replace Onyeamachi with Agu. Agu seem more refined

Onyedika is a better er and controller of the ball than Ndidi. Onyedika should replace Ndidi then.
