What Do You Think About Benching Victor Moses And Ighalo by chidi1: 12:49pm On Jun 15, 2018
I know this may sound contrary to popular norm, however, I have observed that the Super Eagles play better when these two players are not available. Victor Moses plays very selfishly with purposeless dribbling that tend to slow our attack down. Ighalo, on the other hand, plays a more one dimensional attack that could easily be stiffled by a good defense. I propose we use lhenacho and Alex Iwobi as two point strikers in a false 9 position, adopting the 3,5,2 formation ( same strategy we used with Argentina). You may observe that we tend to confuse and disorganise other opponents a lot when we counter ( Argentina and second half England games come to mind). Mikel is needed in the attacking midfield position while Ogu and Ndidi are needed in the defensive midfield position. Ighalo and Victor Moses may come in as substitutes to change the game strategy later on. Definitely not as starters. This is just my musing. Tell me what you think.
