Nice player with great potential, Onyekuru can force himself into the mainlist for the nest afcon, if he continue like this.
With Rumours emanating from France that Samuel Kalu and Moses Simon might miss our qualifiers due to Clubs in Europe refusing to release their players for National Team fixtures due to Corona, this Oga or Olayinka might just force themselves into the list. Hopefully, he won’t claim the Coach already knows his players again
Etebo came in the 82 minutes. Seems Etebo is suffering diminishing form. At stoke city and now in Gala he finds it hard to command a regular shirt like Ndidi and Aribo. Its time Rohr began a thorough search for Aribo/Ndidi backup because im beginning to lose faith in this Etebo
You guys seems to underestimate Shehu Abdullahi.I understand because he plays in Cyprus so for that reason you guys have turned a blind eye to his brilliant performances the few times he was deployed to his natural midfield position for the national team.
I would go for Shehu Abdullahi ahead of Etebo whose game peaked in the last world cup in Russia and has gone downhill post world cup.
Let’s take a walk down memory lane,and see DVDs of 2014 chan eagles,our best chan team ever and see who makes them thick in the midfield.Not long ago in freetown Shehu Abdullahi came in as a second half substitute and there was a sudden tranquil to a midfield in chaos.
It’s unfortunate he has played most of his football career in small leagues but his productivity for the national team is never in doubt despite playing in an unfamiliar right back for most part of his national team career.
Shehu Abdullahi’s team Omonia are top of the Cypriot league,four points above AEL in second position and has maintained a regular place in the midfield for his team.
A Ndidi,Shehu and Iwobi’s midfield should be too strong for the Beninoise in my opinion.
But Shenu played his football in Turkey and then suddenly went back to Cyprus. I think for fans to contnue to rate him high, we expect him to move to a tougher league to play his football.
Shehu over Etebo is the worst wisdom I’ve ever come across all my life. Go and check both players highligh this your comment disappoint me I’m still checking if you wrote that.
Depends on your understanding of wisdom.
I’m not comparing Shehu and Etebo.Both are good players and I believe either can get the job done but I will lean more on Shehu because of current form and performances most recently for club and the national team respectively.
I know you are a huge fan of Etebo so am i,Gernot Rohr is not asinine to name Abdullahi Shehu in his midfield roster ahead of more accomplished players in Europe,Rohr too has the “worst wisdom” to make this bizarre decision I suppose!
The few times Shehu was deployed to the midfield he did so well and very few took notice or can’t be bothered either because he’s a northerner or not one of their favourites.
However,I did take notice,so does Rohr and the entire coaching crew the reason he made the list of midfielders to get the job done in a couple of weeks and if he gets his chance,I trust him to get the job done just like he has done in the past.
Etebo is one of the best utility players maybe you guys have to check again. Tomorrow if he scores from his deep playing position your languages will change but come to think of it theres far more to Etebo games than defending that most of you guys don’t know about or playing blinds to.
COACH GERNOT ROHR PLS FORGIVE WHATEVER ONYEKURU HAS DONE TO YOU AND GIVE HIM CHANCE TO B REGULAR IN S.EAGLE.
HE IS ONE OF THE POTENTIAL STRIKERS SUPER EAGLE NEED NOW. HE ALSO ONE OF THE TOP SCORER IN BELGIUM LEAGUE WHEN HE WAS WITH EUPEN
He was given a chance a few times but didn’t take it.
In the national team games comes few all year,so if you don’t take your chances after a couple of games sorry mate you had your chances.
If I were the coach I would try something new.I think Olayinka should be given a chance.He’s well suited for the African game,his physicality,pace and energy will come good for the super eagles.Onyekuru was clueless and adds little to games in the few times he played for the super eagles.
I’m not wowed by this goals he only scores in less fancied leagues.
If you can’t cut it in France and the super eagles,I’m afraid something isn’t right.
Onyekuru don’t need any forgiveness from Rohr, Rohr is not a thin god, it’s obvious that rohr prefer some players to the others regardless of how they perform that was what led to onyekuru statement which I agree with him. Prior to the last afcon, what did moses Simon do to earn a place and why was he playing ahead of onyekuru? Despite all the games Simon played what did he offer? apart from corner kick moses was minus 1 in the field, up till now I still can’t find anything special in simons game but rohr keep inviting him, onyekuru can offer more than Simon, even their market value can testify to that, they both played in thesame league and same wing where onyekuru reached 24 goals in a season while simon needs 4 seasons to reach that tally. Onyekuru scored wonderful goal against liberia, assisted kalu against sychelis and scored a header in the return leg, won Turkish league and cup, was the best player against Egypt in asaba, what else could he have done? how come he suddenly became a benji, while simon was consistently playing rubbish in the field, there after it was an injured kalu that started Madagascar game, after all these letdown what do you expect from a real man like onyekuru who is not afraid to speak his mind (if na me na for Egypt I for burst rohr head na news for talk the rest who cares) onyekuru was bold enough to accuse anderlecht boss for his wcup miss, due to unreasonable bench role. So na Rohr nahim too big to be spoken to? Not everybody licks ass, May God remove those mountains standing on your way of progress mr onyekuru. Oruma almost bit the hell out of eguavon after losing to ivory coast in 2006 afcon semis, for lying to Nigerians that oruma was injured and played inexperienced obodo,kaita and Mikel ahead if oruma JayJay and ayila against a galacticos cotedevour(haba coaches don cost us alot shame God know we deserve more than 6 afcon titles by now). onyekuru and ejuke are gifted players, Rohr cannot stop their shine, he brought in akpoguma from Bethlehem and discarded ebuehi ola and ajayi for a vip akpoguma, karma disappointed him by drawing both matches. he featured him ahead of the deserving, without considering the chemistry or adaptation which has always been his escuses in cases of ejuke, Dennis, olayinka, maja etc whom he refused to give fair game time to show something, is that not bias enough?.
@Collins id… Mama born you well my man! My brother coaches don kill us for that country, Oruma won man of the match in the first game against Ghana that Taye Taiwo scored, Okocha was drafted to that Nations Cup of 2006 despite being unfit because he was nursing an injury. Oruma at that nations cup was an enforcer with serious positive drive… Do you know that Oruma was overshadowed for a very long time in the national team because of Okocha… at a time, James Obiorah too was disgracing the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona in champions league between 2001 – 2003 but will never get callup to Eagles. Another player with serious talent was Justice Christopher who almost signed for Manchester City around 2003 but couldn’t due to 75% appearance requirement though he went to Japan – Korea 2002. We all know Okocha is a lord, but our coaches then did not believe in any other player other than JayJay and it showed even when he was way past his prime he was still being played 90minutes in most games… Sadly. Your mention of Eguaveon lying about Oruma having an injury and so could not play against Cote d’voire just confirmed to me that you are an ardent follower of the Nigerian football game… Kudos my parley. Rohr has made some very weird decisions too honestly. I will always prefer an Olayinka or Onyekuru to Moses Simon… but of course we must not forget that Moses Simon is signed to DMW Sports Management Agency… hahaha. Some of us know an individual or two connected that sports management company. Mind you… Moses Simon is my tribe, but I must speak the truth!
You guys should just take it easy. Your comments here always shoe you as if you know everything. How do you expect oruma to bench okocha. Oruma was also given lots of chances then which he failed to take too. His problem was that he was always trying to play like okocha.
While I ma not saying our coaches are angels but a lot does into selection sometimes which is open only to the coaches. You said simon is not better than onyekuru. Have you thought about th defensive aspect of Simon. What about if a coach wants a winger who can combine effectively defensive duties. Can onyekuru do that. Against south africa in south africa during last nations cup qualifiers, kalu had to play as a wing back. Can onyekuru play that role the way kalu did. You see a lot go into selection sometimes beyond just scoring goals in your team. Onyekuru will get his chance. When he gets it he shy take it.
Onuachu is another good case. He has failed to take his chances.
In the past two years we have not had the opportunity for lots of friendly matches. A normal coach would want to stick with devils he knows except for one or two changes.
Thank you very much my brother. They want to twist history right in front of our eyes. Imagine comparing Oruma with Okocha. An oruma with 4 legs would never have started ahead an Okocha on crutches till the next life. From Atlanta 96 to Egypt 2006, both Okocha and Oruma were always part of our national team set up, but it is only Okocha’s contributions we can remember till date. Even at club level…who remember oruma…LMAO???. Okocha was light years ahead of Oruma in all ramifications as a no 10. Is it the dribbles, the audacious through passes, the long throws, the long range shots, the free kicks etc…who be Oruma when Okocha still dey alive…???
Oruma went to Egypt 2006, played one good game vs Ghana and won the MOTM award and thought he has arrived…our next match vs Zimbabwe he played complete nonsense….I mean complete NONSENSE. He was yanked off for a young Mikel and the game changed straight up in our favour….Mikle even went ahead and scored in the game. Eguavoen stuck with the Obodo/Mikel combination and we defeated tournament favorites Senegal in our final group game…and he continued with the same combination up till the Semifinals vs CIV. So whats the hue and cry about Oruma..?? Dont players get dropped to the bench in tournaments when they do not perform..?? In the semifinals we fell behind in the 2nd half to CIV and as a coach chasing the game who do you think would be brought on between Okocha and Oruma..???
Just like in 2002, Oruma played himself out of the SE. Nobody should come and twist history for us here. Enough of all these fables they always come to throw us here abeg. The other day it was Christian Chukwu Oruma wanted to slap…today it is Augustine Eguavoen Oruma wanted to slap…..when nor be say Oruma be Soja.
As for Onyekuru, if Rohr is his problem in the national team, is Rohr also his problem at club level..?? Is Rohr any of the 4 coaches he has failed under in Monaco…? His poor attitude and inability to put his head down is his greatest undoing. If he cant lick ass then nobody too will lick his own ass. Football is lick my ass I lick your own. That you are a good player doesn’t make you above reproach or the coach’s instructions. Your attitude determines your altitude. We have players who are ready to listen to the coach and obey the coach’s instructions even if it means playing defensive roles. If he wants to do whatever he likes he should stay back in Galatasaray where they lick is ass.
4 Monaco coaches and 1 national team coach cannot be wrong about 1 player. I’m even surprised @Jimmyball has not come here to tell us Onyekuru wasnt playing in Monaco bcos he is black….LMAO…that’s always a ready excuse.
Simon is far better than Onyekuru ,even before Rhor came most coaches often played Simon .He was one of the star of 2014 qualifier esp against Cameroon .He used to be very good free kick taker .I think he deserve afirst eleven .Im yet to see any match he played badly .
Moses simon offers a lot for the super eagles.can you please give us your 23 man list assuming you are the coach,lets see how you will fit in all these players you want the coach to invite.
Make I make my Super Eagles team based on those we have on ground now..
Uzoho
Ebuehi Balogun zaidu
Ndidi Shehu
Iwobi
Chukwueze olayinka
Ajayi
Osimhen
People will shout me down because a lot feel Olayinka and Junior Ajayi are average… but in the eyes of anyone who has played result-oriented football… those ones will see reasons with me. I won’t ever start a player whose game is only one dimensional with little end-product.
@Dr.Drey… Ask me questions let me tell you. That’s a three man defence pairing with Olayinka and Chukwueze playing wing back running the flanked channels… I have Olayinka because of his work rate because he is able to play intelligently into the midfield when we need numbers too… I am playing a double defensive midfield pivot to plug gaps screening the three man defence… that’s why I have Shehu because we know he can play DM and to me does a more stable job than Etebo who has not been a regular for his club for a long while… In essence I am playing a 352 in transition that shapes to a 361 (Cattanaccio) when we need to defend, that’s why I have an energetic and workaholic player like Ajayi playing behind Osimhen… That was what Otto Rehaggel used to conquer Euro 2004 for Greece… I am a proponent of a strong defensive setup without compromising the middle of the pack where a team’s engine revs… I always root for players with workrate and that’s why I did not have Iheanacho playing behind Osimhen. This is my take… @De.Drey let’s see your own. Hahaha…
Waow. Jimmy Ballsie, you sabi football no be small. Note like that Dr Do little. He knows nothing about the walkings of football.
A three man defence with 2 natural full backs and only 1 natural CD…LMAO. Do you think we are playing nitendo here. Will you get serious pls.
Where have you ever seen that b4. Pls name one team you have seen in modern day football playing only one natural CB….LMAO. Did you see Rehaggel ever playing 1 central defeder…?? Did you ever see Italy play 1 CD even in the days of Cantanaccio..?? So if you are playing Ebuehi and Zaidu in central defence as a back 3, who are your wing-backs…..Chukwueze and Olayinka abi….LMAO. Im really rolling on the floor now imagining Samu as a wingback…..a player with a very crappy defensive capability. No be only canttanaccio….even Pellegrini follow.
And later you will come here ranting and criticizing Rohr for playing defensive football, for playing players out of position….bla bla bla….what have you done differently now…LMAO..?? See the Junk line up you are proposing….LMAO. The fact that this team will only have 2 training sessions together before they step on the pitch of a make or mar qualifier even makes it more hilarious….LMAO.
Just like I said earlier…all our opponents need to do with this formation is just park the bus, soak up the pressure and float the balls straight to their wingers immediately we turn it over. Na basket you and your cantanaccio go use pack goals go house after 90 mins….LMAO.
Hahahahaha….see team list from people who call Rohr Dumb….LMAO. Whc kind formation be this…??? Only 1 CD….LMAO.
Wonders shall truly never end. The people wey say “Critics Never Do Better” no lie at all at all…LMAO.
Our opponents just need 2 very good wingers and 1 good deep lying playmaker who can float long balls to the wings from defense, to finish this lineup. Na basket una go use carry goals go house….LMAO.
See lineup abeg….Hmmm. This one pass UEFA pro license….na UEFA Executive License formation be this one.
Ngwa, you don finish? Barcelona use one defensive midfielder. Shame never catch you so? Now it is time for you to apologise to the Almighty Jimmy Balls. You will never know half what he knows about football because you never played at the level he was exposed. Learn to respect your elders. Jealousy has always been your problem. You are jealous of Financial Analysts and you are jealous of former accomplished footballers. Now you are jealous of the Special Delivery One. Apologise now for all your transgressions.
@Dr.Drey… My team will always play something with high intensity like Fulham plays under Scott Parker on a very good day… See the problem we are not seeing is the fear to try new things, if Nigeria was a footballing country who could setup a stoic defensive design with the attacking talents that we have over the years, by now we would be nothing less than 5time AFCON champions like our neighbours Cameroon… they have had better success on the. Continent than us despite playing very unattractive muscle game often because Cameroon in the 80s through 90s to early 2000s have always have a feared defensive watertight setup with the likes of Raymond Kalla, Rigobert Song, Pierre Wome, Njanka and previously ones like Tattaw, and Kana, have often managed to have better goalkeepers than us somehow… IMHO though…
So did that watertight stoic Cameroonian defensive setup ever include just having one natural central defender at the back…???
You want to play high intensity football with a structureless formation with just 2-3 training sessions b4 an important qualifier…. something that has taken Scot Parker and Fulham a whole half a season and several training sessions and matches to master.
Mr man we are not playing Nitendo here. Like seriously….Ebuehi and Sanusi in central defence…?? Samu and Olayinka as wingbacks…?? Have you even ever seen them play in such positions b4….? Wow….you are busting my head right now….LMAO…You should be the next coach of Barcelona after Koeman is fired.
@Dr.Drey… My plan is for the longterm and not a cast in stone formation. We should not experiment the forthcoming games… I mean we could adapt something like I suggested when we play opponents who are clearly. Superior to us and we need to frustrate and hit on the counter… Case in point is the Italy vs France final of Euro 2000. It was a spirited performance courtesy of inspiration from the maestro Zidane that saved France on the edge of the game… When a team knows how to defend well and play for each other, they don’t lose easily. Take Costa Rica team of 2014 WORLD cup…. see how courageous they performed.
What is Shehu doing on that list?
Go and remove his name there… Ewu gambia…
@Oakfield calling me Ewu Gambia makes you what? Some of you cannot even engage in civilized forum behavior… You call me stupid and foolish the other day I just let it slide… I can make you miserable here with insults if you don’t stop henceforth… I can teach you the English Language if you don’t know… One more insult from you and I will lace your septic mouth on this forum with faeces that you chew for every breakfast and dinner… Complete uncivilized cretin!
@jimmy, was referring to chima not you. You are overspeeeding too much, slow down. Pls, take it easy with this your class and level narrative. If I download mine for you, you go runaway. So, just pipe low with what ever little God has given you. You hear??
Oakfield it is your father and rotten prostitute of a mother, your useless future wife and tattered unborn kids that i direct your insults and defame words to. Useless idiot
Waow! Jimmy Balls, your formation is out of this world. I would pay no attention to Dr Drey as he knows nothing about ‘results oriented football’. Dr Drey knows absolutely nothing about football. Once I am done with him, he will wear his left slippers on the right foot and the right one on the left foot. I never liked this Dr Drey. Left to me, he will be ejected from this platform and sent to Mars. He is an alien, an illegal alian who is meant to be commenting on a gulf blog. I placed curses on him before but those were not potent enough, so I shall now place fresh sweeping curses on him.
From today henceforth Dr Drey.
You shall lose all your punditry skills.
Your views shall be mocked on this platform.
Never again will you win any arguments here.
Your contributions shall make people puke.
So shall it be.
@SD Special Delivery Jones… Just don’t mind anyone, we are here to come up with ideas but some will mock your submissions without even asking for clarifications… Let us all tone down, there is no need to take unnecessary slingshots at each other… You know no one’s ideas are ever good enough for @Dr.Drey… Please don’t cause my friend to wear left leg slippers on the right and right on the left… Hahaha! That was funny though…
@Jimmyball, you want to play 2 wings back in a 3 man defensive set up? If I see you critised Rohr again I will get you arrested
@Dr.Drey… a three man defence is not three natural centre backs often. It’s a centreback and a right and left back mostly, in such a setup, the midfield has to be top notch, they only become centre backs mostly during deadballs and corners, normally it requires the goalkeeper to play as a fourth back who is able to play simple forward passes to the right or left side defender. If you can have a player in the mould of Torunarigha, Udokhai who are left-footed centre back then you can play them on the left side in a perfect 3man defence… but for now we have to make do with what we have…

Oga you are wrong. 3 men defences in a 352 formation is usually composed of AT LEAST 2 natural CBs. Most of the times its usually 3 CBs. The fullbacks become wing-backs in the process. No team has ever started a football match with 1 CB (all things being equal) in a 352 formation. If you have seen any…kindly name them. No coach in the world has ever tried that and none will ever.
Just agree you goofed with your lineup and move on. The Rohr you call names here lines up far better than you. The style of football which you now call ideal is the same one he plays yet you insult and call him names for. The same switching of players from their natural positions you criticize Rohr for is the same thing you are doing now, telling us there is nothing like ‘natural position’.
Oga FYI there is something like NATURAL POSITION in football. There is a position on the field of play where you perform the best…where your output as a footballer is optimized. Professional football is not the monkey post street football you played claiming you played football at the highest level. Players have NATURAL positions…positions which complement their abilities and talent.
There’s a reason some players request for transfer from their clubs because they are being played OUT OF POSITION.
There is a reason Iwobi requested to be played in his ‘preferred position’
There is a reason why John Terry was never listed as a striker all through his pro career.
There is a reason Etoo was never played in defence all through his career.
There is a reason teams register as many as 3 GKs for tournaments instead of converting an outfield player if the GK gets injured.
I asked you before, if Ebuehi and Zaidu are CBs, who will play as wingbacks…? Chukueze…and Olayinka…?? Will those ones be your wing backs…??
Oga stop telling us whataboutries here. No team plays a 3 man defence with just 1 natural CB…if you’ve ever seen any, pls name them. Simple Question..!
@Dr.Drey… hahahaha! Whatda4ck? Are you kidding me? Your natural predisposition to want to win an argument is always your greatest albatross. You can tell me just like @Mr. Hush, that due to height of our curent fullbacks… Ebuehi, Aina,Collins,Zaidu we cannot conveniently deploy them and be comfortable in a 3-5-2 setup for now… I will agree with you but to come with your own completely misguided approach and understanding of a 3man defence setup in a 3-5-2 arrangement really came to me as a serious tactic knowledge gap for you in modern football… are you kiding me? Okay… you have internet right? Just go to google and type…”How does a 3-5-2 formation works?” I am begging you in the name of God, do that and come to tell me what answer google gave you… if your answer is the same as: “The 3-5-2 set consists of three defenders: a left fullback, right fullback and a sweeper (or center fullback). These three defenders must stay tightly together, no more than 10-25 yards apart from each other at all times. They form a slight triangle, with the sweeper nearest his own goal” then take a break from CSN for two weeks and go educate yourself more on the practicality of football formations… kai! This one weak me… I saw today how sound @Mr. Hush is with his submission… I am expecting your reply after you emply your phone on positive use with google from my tip. I will not laugh at you because we are here to learn from each other… back to your question go and review Fulham matches this season, not all of them and come back and tell me where Ola Aina was deployed when they play a three-man defence with Adarabioyo at the middle and Andersen to his right… ardent forumites are waiting to hear from you after the assignemnt! If you are humble, as I know you have some football knowledge… you will learn from the monkey-psot footballer today… hahaha! One love…
@Dr.Drey… This for you in Case you do not have enough internet data at this time! I want to help you as my friend because we are all learning and no one knows it all:
Fundamentals:
When deploying a 3-5-2 system, the defense is made up of a modern back three, which can be adjusted to a back five if necessary (5-3-2).
In midfield you often have two defensive and three offensive midfielders. Two of the offensive midfielders play on the wing have a duel role of both winger and fullback, depending on how far advanced they are.
The modern form of this formation with a back three was developed especially in the Italian league and their national team. Antonio Conte was a big proponent of this system during his time as manager of both Juventus and Chelsea.
In 2018 the English national team also played with 3-5-2 in the World Cup semi-final against Croatia with the back three consisting of Harry Maguire – John Stones – Kyle Walker and just one central defensive midfielder (Jordan Henderson).
Distribution of space:
This system of play creates an incredible amount of stability in the center with three central defenders and often two defensive midfielders, although this subsequently sacrifices opportunities to play out wide.
See how England owned the shape at the perfection and took the most ouf of it at the World Cup 2018. In this YouTube video, you can see what kind of player you need to be successful with this formation. It will also explain you what it will bring you offensively and defensively.
In the offense the entire width of the pitch is covered and benefits from great combination play through the deep staggering of four rows.
Defense and pressing:
The back three can be added to by midfielders to create a back four or five.
A back four is usually achieved by a wide midfielder who is furthest from the ball dropping back, and a back five by both wide midfielders (usually against a strong opponent or in the face of pressing) joining the back line.
You can easily work on defensive shape with your team with the drill generator in coachbetter.
The players in the back three are generally central defenders (center backs), i.e. strong, tall, and good in the air.
A back three can be a good alternative when you don’t have enough or sufficient fullbacks available and it also has the advantage (at least against teams with one or two strikers) that a defender can leave the back line (e.g. to follow an opponent into midfield) without leaving a gap in the center.
This means you still have a stable defense against teams with strikers who are good runners, especially when running from deep.
Offense and build-up play:
The three defenders provide different variations for building up from the back: similar to a defensive midfielder dropping deep, the defenders can start build-up play with one player in the center and two furthest from the wide positions, in order to be able to play out of any tight spaces and create clear attacking opportunities.
When the defenders have possession, they can build up through the center or out wide.
One of the best examples of a successful implementation of the 3-5-2 is Conte’s Inter. Thanks to quick and endurant full backs (Hakimi, Young), he can find space out wide. This space will then be used to stretch the opponent’s line to finish centrally.
The midfielders can move between the opposing lines to create space and open up opportunities to receive the ball, while the two strikers can either operate in the small amount of space between the wing and the center or drop further back into midfield.
The relatively wide line-up consistently allows for the opportunity to switch play, which frees up the wide midfielders who are furthest from the ball or opens up potential one-on-one situations.
Positions and their tasks (characteristics):
On the wings you need incredibly good runners who can work one whole side of the pitch alone. A prime example of this kind of player, who can play well defensively and offensively, is the Brazilian Dani Alves or more recently Hakimi in Inter and Guerreiro at Dortmund.
– The three midfielders allow for different possibilities:
– Two defensive midfielders, one attacking midfielder
– One defensive midfielder, two attacking midfielders
– One defensive midfielder, one central midfielder, one attacking midfielder
If you have a playmaker in attacking midfield, you can relieve him/her of their defensive duties by playing with two defensive midfielders, this subsequently results in better link-up play with the central striker.
Lukaku and Lautaro are one of the best attacking duos in football right now. With 52 goals in 2019 – 2020, only Lewandowski and Gnabry have done better. Lukaku, being higher on the field and Lautaro with more freedom enable them to have a lot of success.
For this system, it’s important to have strong defenders who can start attacking sequences from the back and move the ball forward, even when playing on the wing. This means they must coordinate in defense, especially when they are not supported by their teammates in midfield.
Strengths and weaknesses (use of the system)
When deploying a 3-5-2 formation, the team is well-staggered in depth and width.
The wide midfielders can play high up the pitch, which is sometimes akin to playing with four strikers.
The distribution of space in the center of midfield provides a lot of opportunities in terms of linking teammates together (passing triangles are easily formed), which is facilitated by the deep staggering of four rows. See how you can build up out of the back being pressed in a 3-5-2.
This system of play is not quite balanced, however, as far as the general distribution on the pitch goes, as the wings are only covered by one player each and therefore you cannot double-up, such as in a basic 4-4-2 or 4-1-4-1 formation.
When playing against a team using three strikers, the basic 4-4-2 is a more sensible choice in terms of formation.
The 3-5-2 is a good option for coaches who want to put their opponent under pressure early (pressing in the attacking third or direct attacks on the opposing defenders through the wide midfielders).
When pressing in midfield the team can defend towards the center to take advantage of the compactness there. Both strikers then have the responsibility of taking the opposing fullbacks (provided they are playing) out of the game through skilful attacks.
If you have a strong midfield and players who are good at link-up play, this is a great way to overload the opposition defense in the center (using three midfielders and two strikers).
If this is complimented by wide midfielders who are fast and good dribblers, it creates a flexible form of attack in the center that is difficult for an opponent to figure out.
It offers several variations: link-up play with short passes through the center, vertical passes to the strikers, one-on-one runs by wide midfielders, and the possibility of transitioning quickly, which can then make the most of the entire width of the field.
Variations:
The previously mentioned 5-3-2 is a very defensive form of 3-5-2 in which the wide midfielders carry out mostly defensive tasks.
This system of play will be often used by teams in a lower division or that are generally inferior to their opponent.
This way a team can double-up on strong opposing players but still have enough stability in the center of the pitch. Quick transitions against the advancing opponent are crucial.
A team generally using that formation is Sheffield United with more or less success. It worked well in 2019-2020 but is now in difficulty. We can see that once the block starts to get lower and lower pressure isn’t as effective centrally and in the opponent’s outside back. It was easily seen in Chelsea’s victory 4-1.

@Ola… go educate yourself on tactics before you come and bare fangs! The wingers running the channels will act as the wing back… go read the details I posted about the 3-5-2 formation and its variants… it could also become 5-3-2 depending on game situation… the problem is that Nigerians have never been known for defensive discipline just like we saw with last U-20 Flying Eagles at Benin Republic… such traits shoots up to the Super Eagles also…
Anybody get the link for the 9ja vs Tanzania game today? Please if u do, share the link.
@Proudly9ja… The Morocco tourney is no more… Zambia have applied to host in place of Morocco who pullout for Corona reasons… We have to wait on CAF for further approval and Communication but Zambia is likely to host…
Thanks bro
@Dr.Drey… Mind you I have not said Junior Ajayi, Peter Olayinka are better than those preferred in their places now but, I want personnel who can execute my approach best… It’s easy for everyone to play 451 which is a static 4 defenceman setup, if I want that I will pair Ekong and Balogun at the heart of defence but it’s static… 352 with shapeshifting offers more malleabilty and I can tell you there is no such thing as a natural anything… Players can be thought to adapt as long as you are good with your feet… have a turbo workrate and speed to some extent. The most effective way to play football is keeping it simple without extra gragra to do too much… Ebuehi and Zaidu are good natural fullbacks with intelligence, good forward play and closekniit markings… I did not choose Ekong in place of Balogun because he is not clean in positional play…
@Jimmyball
I do see where you’re coming from with your formation. Similar to what Tuchel started with at Chelsea; the 3-5-2; with Cesar Christansen and Rudiger, the preferred back 3. And Azpi allowed to bombard forward and join the attack.
The problem is personality to play the role. You picked Ebuehi, Balogun and Zaidu. Good players. But not good the role.
A centre back should as well be good in the air as on their feet. Not sure of Ebuehi ability in the air. Besides, the trio,(Ebuehi, Zaidu, Balogun), enjoys going forward,leaving room for gap at the back. That could be dangerous. With a team like the Beninoise who play robust,physical and counter attacking football, that could be very dangerous. The reason it works at Chelsea is because Christainsen and Rudiger are tall, good in the air and hardly go forward, with Jorginho giving cover for Azpi when he does go forward. If we indeed play 3 5 2; we should use the right personel for the Centre back roles.
I would go with a 4-4-2 . Just take the fight to the Beninoise. We got the players to fit the role and quality to deliver.
Uzoho
Ebuehi Ekong Balogun Zaidu
Ndidi Etebo
Samuel Iwobi
Iheanacho Osimhen
Ebuehi over Aina cause I feel he is more comfy at the Right back and Aina feels more at home at the left back. I think Balogun and Ekong has an understanding.
Samuel and Iwobi would do most of the work. With both allowed to cut in from the wings,moving horizontally and vertically to support both the midfield and defence. More like Leicester city and Glasgow rangers wingers play. They are both allowed to switch wings as well.
Ndidi and Etebo would give shelter to the defence (because I expect Zaidu and Ebuehi to go forward) . The CM duo are only allowed to go forward when necessary and not together.one must always remain behind. Like Teilemans and Ndidi does in Leicester.
And Iheanacho can come back and play as 8, to give the midfield width.
I think we would do well with this formation. Cause the formation fits itself with the kind of players we have. You can easily replace Samu with Kalu,Simon as well and Aribo in place for Etebo. Sadiq for Osimhen.
Though the 4 3 3 or 4 5 1 too can work but. let’s see how it goes..
@Mr.Hush I accept your input 100%… I wanted to say we needed tall. Personnel to flank the man at the centre in the back but considering those we have now… they are really not tall and physical. Often I have clamored or Adarabioyo but we don’t have him yet… If he was with us already it wipp be very tantalizing because then when we need to deploy that I will play Balogun to his right and leave zaidu on the left but Torunarigha if his switch becomes concrete… So should we have Adarabioyo and Torunarigha in the future… I will put Tosin in the middle and flank him with Balogun to the right and Torunarigha to his left but until we have those and Rohr is willing to try it out because he has done that before agaisnt south Africa in our last duel and England on pre-world-cup 2018. It was that switched that slowed down England on that day otherwise they were embarrassing us… I won’t want to use Akpoguma on the right in a 3man defence because he seems sluggish and has shown some sort of frailty on that right flank. African wing attackers are often speedstars and very strong… See how Collins was left miles behind in the leadup to the goal conceded to Benin Republic… Your setups are what we are used to for now and it’s very stable but I am in the school of though that we can begin to really thinker with one or two new personnel other than those we have seen repeatedly… Welldone!
@Oakfield… I felt you referred to me with Ewu Gambia… Please forgive me. It’s the more reason why we should be slow to throw insultive slingshots on fellow forumites henceforth since it’s easy for another to think it was referring to them… I would delete my comment regarding my response to you but can’t anymore… Fellow forumites… My apologies on response to @Oakfield. I thought he referred to me… My bad!
@Jimmyball
Always appreciate a free thinker.
And I do appreciate your formation.
My thought is since it is a very important, we should stick to what we used to barring injuries and such..
Roles can only be redefined to allow flexibility in accordance to how we want to play on the day and what our foes’ game plan..
You dont need to brag about playing in the Bundesliga before you prove you know football. @Mr Hush….YOU SABI FOOTBALL. Nor mind that one wey dey drop jaguda line-up for here come dey tell us stories how Senegal take win 1963 world cup. The day Rohr drops such a line up here…ewoo…the internet will shut down.
@Dr Drey
Appreciation.
I hail
@ Mr.Hush
I don’t know you but my respect for your football knowledge doubles today. On my way back from church, this was the same formation i had in mind. Except i will have kalu instead of samu. Then samu can come in the second half when the opposing defense is tired.
@Mercy
Greetings and respect.
I guess we both share a “hypothetical mind”;
Let’s see how it turns out.
All for the best of our Eagles.
How can you (Dr drey) talk like that about onyekuru? Na him make you and i hardly agree. Though we both agreed that unuachu is not good enough for eagles but not in the case of onyekuru, I don’t know if you watch the few matches onyekuru played with eagles, you will realise that he didn’t disappoint infact he did better than chukwueze and osihmen prio to afcon 2019 I don’t expect u to argue that fact. Onyekuru had a better partnership with ighalo compare to moses Simon who ighalo in all his body language didn’t like mosSimon unpredictable stile of play, wish doesn’t goes well with strikers.
You know onyekuru didn’t fail with the eagles if you say otherwise then show us the match.
As for club carea in France, pls on this issue you have to stay in your goalpost before I go score you from range, bcos you are indeed baias for saying that with all your experience I know you know that facao couldn’t perform in England so as Diego folan failed with man u,
You also know how musa failed with Leicester and had to return to Russia for him to getplaying time prio to the wcup.
Crespo,dzeko, ibra etc have all failed in one league or the other. Why are you now raising alarm on onyekuru Monaco failures? Bro even kaen that wasn’t good For Everton is playing and scoring For psg is Everton bigger than PSG? For me the original replacement for Ahmed musa is onyekuru, they are very similar in play, in terms of speed and eye for goals they are the only wingers we have that can also strike when the need arises.
Talking of oruma I didn’t compare him to okocha ( haba okocha na baba na.) I only tell how eguavon failed with his selection, let me tell you eguavon is the coach udoji is talking about, he didn’t want to kill his newly found Nff carea(sporting director) thats why he didn’t call out eguavon name. Eguavon collect bribes for selection that was why Mikel and kaita plus obodo where played( they where easier and vulnerable to extort from) against the elephant ahead of oruma, okocha, ayila, olofinja even utaka aghahuwa suffered thesame Faith. Oruma did well against Ghana and he actually underated Zimbabwe that was why he floped against Zimbabwe but he could have done better than Mikel against Ivorians. We almost lost to Tunisia in the quaters if not for enyeama penalty magic. Who dash Senegal favourite we defeated Senegal twise in that tournament. We where the favourites alongside Egypt Tunisia cameroun and ivorycoast’s,
The record is there oruma actually fought eguavon after cotedevour lost. If you don’t know you better cech ur fact data’s instead of trying to make full of simple facts.
We can never agree. I dont agree with fallacies. When you make it seem Onyekuru is the cristiano messi of the SE…when you make it seem onyekuru is the only one that deserves his position in the SE….when you make seem others in that position are not performing….when you make it seem others who are there are licking the coach’s ass to play there….then we will never agree.
I thought onyekuru said Rohr already knows his starting line up…?? How come players like Kalu and Chukweze came and met him in the team and displaced him. How come we keep seeing new players after those 2 coming in every now and then and tying down a place in the team…??
You claimed onyekuru has a better understanding with Ighalo…pls can you tell us how many games he played with ighalo in the SE and let me tell you how many simon played and the end result…???
Onyekuru didnt fail in the SE….none of our current wingers have failed either. Simon only has more defensive duties now – that is his own comparative advantage, that is what he chooses to use to stand out from the rest of them in other to always get selected. When you are in competition with 5-8 people for one spot, you have to offer something unique that is needed by the selectors.
You mention Falcao, Forlan, Musa etc……did they all fail under 4 different coaches in the same club…?? This one will come, onyekuru will complain…that one will come he doesn’t play me in my left wing that I like…the other one will come he doesn’t like me…the next one will come he already knows his starting XI….OGA NA ONLY YOU DEY THE TEAM…..???? How can 4 different coaches hate 1 player…even to the point of kicking him out of the main squad completely…??
If you know onyekuru very well, go and tell him I said everywhere is not Galatasary where he doesn’t have competition for his position…..If he is not ready to lick ass nobody will also lick his own too. There’s nothing he has to offer in the SE that we dont have ready made substitutes for. If them collect your shirt for team fight your way in and collect it back and stop this the coach already knows his starting XI nonsense. If Simon and Kalu are also adding defence to their responsibilities you too go and add it to yours and use it to displace them. Dont sit down in your parlor and tell us coach already knows his starting XI. That’s the silliest excuse I’ve heard from any professional in recent times. You sef do Wetin the people wey dey starting XI do wey the coach take dey keep them for starting XI. Gaudiola once subbed off Thierry henry despite scoring a goal and even placed him on the bench in the next match…when the press asked why he told them Henry wasnt playing to instructions. No single player is bigger than the coach.
And as for Oruma matter maybe you are the one that needs to go get your facts right…..Pls show us the evidence that Mikel, Obodo and Kaita had to pay bribes to be in that SE squad. Im talking of a Mikel who was 2nd only to messi at the U20 WC back then…the same mikel that Blatter called ‘the face of the future of african football’….and a Kaita that was the defensive shield for the team that went all the way to the finals. So Kaita also had to pay bribe to play in DM…???
So you agree Oruma flopped vs Zimbabwe…..pls just hold it right there….dont ridicule yourself with the flimsy excuse you are trying to give, this your “oruma underrated Zimbabwe”…cock and bull story….ORUMA FLOPPED…QED. And he flopped BADLY…very very BADLY he was yanked off b4 the hour mark. Was it the bribe he did not pay that made him to flop against minnows like Zimbabwe…?? He was replaced by mikel and the game change in our favour ….and Mikel even scored….finis and Klaar….!!! Was it the bribe Mikel paid that made him one of our star performers of the 2006 AFCON…???
Dont give us stories here. Dont use all that bribe nonsense to make a case for a flop. In a tournament no coach changes a winning team. Eguavoen continued with his midfield partnership that could deliver – beating Senegal in the next match, Tunisia in the Qfinals – in the process. We were down against CIV in the 2nd half through a loss of concentration from Enakhire…not bcos Oruma didnt start. We were the better team for much of the 1st half of that game. Drogba cleverly scored by breaking the offside trap due to a very high defense line. And at a time when we needed a saviour…between Okocha and Oruma who is better to come on from the bench….?? And did Okocha not hit the bar from a freekick after coming on..???
FOR YOUR INFORMATION…Senegal has been one of the favorites going into every afcon since 2002. At that time they had the BEST attack in Africa…as a matter of fact Senegal has always had the best attack in africa for years now…..they had Mamadou niang, Eladj Diouf, Henri Camara, Henry Saviet, Dame Ndoye, Souleman Camara, Diomansy Camara. In midfield they had the late Bouba Diop (at the peak of his powers then), Amdy faye, Abdoulaye Faye all playing in the EPL then. In defence they still had much of their 2002 WC defenders Omar Daf, Ferdinand Coly, Habib Beye, Lamine Diatta, Diawara (of Marsielle then), not to forget experienced goalkeepers Tony Silva and Cheick Ndoye who were both 1st team goalkeepers for their french lig 1 clubs. If this kind of team isnt favourites for AFCON…I wonder who would be.
Oga…its you who should go get your facts right.
Kelechi iheanacho scores again for Leicester. Its 1-0 against Sheffield utd. Hope Leicester can score another goal to seal the win. But kelechi is really showing his worth in the premiership. I remember when he scored his first goal this season in the premiership and I said he has silenced his critics, many people laughed at my comments because he had just scored a single goal in the premier league but everyone knows that you have to first count 1, before moving to 2, 3 and more. Kelechi is a player whose confidence comes the more he plays and as soon as he starts scoring goals he wants to score more. Now that he is getting more playing time the goals are pouring in even though he isn’t a natural striker. This is good for him, Leicester and the Super Eagles.
DONT BE SURPRISED IF YOU SEE A FORMATION LIKE THIS COME MATCH DAY 5:
OKOYE
AWAZIEM. EKONG. BALOGUN.
AINA. ZAIDU.
(KALU)
NDIDI. ARIBO.
IWOBI.
IHEANACHO. OSIMHEN.
(CHUKWUEZE)
In summary… No one formation solves all problems and challenge on gameday, but a team that can shapeshift in midplay to counter an opponent having clear domination will always find answers to questions on the pitch… Belmadi has realized we play a very rigid and usual formation, what they have recently done against us is to play reset with us always and it’s becoming very frightening to some of us that if care is not taken and we don’t play some other result oriented setups in case our tank is punctured by a savvy coach in midplay then we will be exposed and be left at the mercy of luck in certain high profile games… We must go into the next AFCON will Intent not just to compete but win… Our team has matured and we can no longer apply the usual flimsy excuses of youth…
Wow, Iheanacho grabbed a hattrick today against Sheffield United! Nice wan boy!
Hahahahaha….@Jimmyball…..see who wants to lecture us on tactics….LMAO. I asked him a simple question he is giving us carte blanche answers and posting irrelevant videos….LMAO. How does your video explain a 352; or how does it explain your decision to play a RB and LB in a back 3 and non defensive players like Chukwueze and Olayinka as wing backs.
Who doesn’t know that the wingers running the channels will serve as wingbacks….as if we have not seen V.Moses, Kalu and Simon done that for the SE before. Or as if we have not seen Tuchel or Conte play the 352. Pls tell us which one of these coaches played a RB and LB and 1 CB in a back 3…??LMAO
Simple question…is it Chukwueze that will play wingback for you or Olayinka….Mr UEFA executive licensed tactician…..players who are very poor defensively…?? Is it just any type of winger that gets deployed to wingback position…?? Have you forgotten wingbacks also have massive defensive responsibilities to fulfil that you are giving us line ups that will see us field only 1 CB in a back 3 and 2 attackers in wing back positions…..LMAO. You really sabi tactics.
It is you who should read your copy and paste properly and educate yourself…the very first paragraph of your copy and paste says “……When deploying a 3-5-2 system, the defense is made up of a modern back three, which can be adjusted to a back five if necessary (5-3-2)……” So when we are defending and need to collapse your 352 into a 532 will will now have Chukwueze, Ebuehi, Balogun, Zaidu and Olayinka as our back 5 abi…..LMAO. You be coach my brother….infact na you suppose dey conduct coaching courses. The passage even goes further to give examples in line with what I’ve been saying
“….. 2018 the English national team also played with 3-5-2 in the World Cup semi-final against Croatia with the back three consisting of Harry Maguire (CB) – John Stones (CB) – Kyle Walker…..”
I have told you to name just 1 team you’ve ever seen playing a back 3 with only 1 natural CB. The coaches wey never do am na mumu dem be abi….Lolz
“…..A back four is usually achieved by a wide midfielder who is furthest from the ball dropping back, and a back five by both wide midfielders (usually against a strong opponent or in the face of pressing) joining the back line…..”
So if you now drop one of your wide guys into the back 4…you will now have a defence comprising of Ebuehi, Balogun, Zaidu and Chukuweze/Olayinka….. LMAO….what a…SOLID DEFENCE….@Jimmyball you do well. And if its a back five it will be Chukuweze, Ebuehi, Balogun, Zaidu and Olayinka…..true definition of WATERTIGHT AND STOIC DEFENCE….LMAO.
The day rohr go line up this kind defence ehn…??? LMAO
“…….The players in the back three are GENERALLY CENTRAL DEFENDERS (center backs), i.e. strong, tall, and good in the air……..” @JIMMYBALL YOU DEY read wetin you post at all…??? LMAO. Se as person just use in own rope hang himsef….LMAO
I’ve told you b4…i just need a very good deep-lying playmaker and 2 equally excellent wingers who are good on one-on-ones to finish your team…..and your passage corroborates what i said
“….this system of play is not quite balanced, however, as far as the general distribution on the pitch goes, as the wings are only covered by one player each and therefore you cannot double-up……”
The inability to double up is what I will use to drag one of your CBs out wide on a counter (with a long ball from my Pirlo-esque playmaker straight to the wings) leaving just 2 CBs remaining and with my CF and SS and Lampard-esque AM bearing down in the centre…..LMAO….Wahlahi….Every one of my attacks will be a shot on target.
And when your 352 is not working and you according to you “need to shapeshift in midplay to counter an opponent”, how will you patch up your central defence…?? Move Ndidi to CB…??? And then what happens to your defensive midfield….you’ll drop Iwobi to DM right…??? LMAO.
I dont need to say much again. Mr Hush has schooled you up there already. Go and read, meditate on it, and learn from people who really know football and tactics.
Ebuehi, Balogun and Zaidu as back 3….LMAO…na 3 months una container of conceded goals go use for port b4 customs clear am….LMAO
And these are the people who will call Rohr dumd, senile, defensive, clueless and all sorts of unprintable names…..LMAO. Na ordinary line up dem say make you name since wey you dey talk i wanna ganna since…LMAO.
See Mr Hush’s line up up there….has he had to do any further explanations….??? LMAO.
@Jimmybaal….calm down and follow people wey know road. Its bad enough for you that you’ve bragged here severally that your are an ex-footballer who played football to the highest level….just calm down and follow people wey know road. Brotherly advice naim I give you so.
@dr Drey, don’t mind olodo guy, later he will come here claiming to have played the game at the highest level..
Imagine him still telling me to go and educate myself on football tactics, lol, very funny. A coach that one to feed 2 full backs in a back with one center half, so what happened if those to full backs join the attack?
As u have rightly asked him, he should mention just one team with fact that has ever done that..
The only thing he knows how to do is to critised unnecessarily. Nonsense boy
@Ola… We know you are a weak gabbage-in gabbage-out docile disciple of @Dr.Drey… go and read what I posted. It’s like you are a bit dimwitted with proper comprehension… eiyah. I am not charging for training you and your Master… It’s free of charge, please read, you won’t pay… no fear. This awuf no go pain your belly. Hahaha…
See this malu (cow) telling me to go and learn comprehesion, if you know my comprehensive level, you won’t utter such rubbish
It is you that need to look at yourself and see the way you are conjoining your write up trying to defend the nonsense you are writing.
My time are precious and useful than debating with low life like you, people like you can never learn.
Never in your life will you ever tell me to comprehend again, nothing person no go see on this forum.
@Dr.Drey… Usually egoistic. Did you hear me mention Balogun, Torunarigha as those preferably to flank an Adarabioyo or not even before I posted what you selectively choose to read. What was the definition of a 3-5-2 formation that I asked you to use your phone to even attempt a Google search to help you… go back and do that search. Your ego is humbled in the definition of what a 3-5-2 formation traditionally is… use your fingers again to quote that definition here not your selective reading to hide where your ego is cornered. People who care to read the explanation of the system will see through your cunning of selective reading… It’s today I know whenever you don’t have money for viewing centre you just follow online results. If you have been watching Fulham this term you will noticed games in which Ola Aina has played in a 3man structured defence… Balogun has played right back even in Super Eagles during Keshi and earlier times when he first became a part of Super Eagles… is he still playing right back for Eagles? Because Rohr plays 4 defenders and two central defenders of Ekong and Balogun, occasionally Umeruo, Awaziem is preferably a centreback but has often played right back for Eagles… So like I told you professional players are trained and adapted to switching a traditional role for another depending on tactics and coach’s setup… So when does a player become a central defender and another time a fullback going by your logic of natural position… Have your memories failed you how Awaziem acquitted himself well at RFB at Afcon 2019? Right Wing Back and Left Wing Back are always preferred to be players who are traditional wingers… So make your listing of Super Eagles players for a 3-5-2 role let’s see @Dr.Football.Oracle… Hahaha. He will always have his egoistic way of trying to comment selectively in bits and parts… the fact the 3man are termed 3CentreBacks does not mean they must be traditional central defenders… they can be traditional fullback with the qualities of a traditional central defender also… so funny how you cherry-pick your critique. The videos was for you to see how the formation plays in reality as you may have been commenting based of old “NTA snippets Presentations of European Football from Rothmans of Pall Mall” which you used to watch ardently only Saturdays in Mambilla Mountains where you always run to hide at your viewing centre… Hahaha! One love…

That was what started this debate in the 1st place. Admit that you goofed with that. Not admitting is what is real egoism. Oversabi.
You are not the one to lecture me on what a 352 is. I knew what a 352 formation is even before you ever kicked a soccer ball. Neither you nor your post has taught me or anybody here anything new about the 352 formation. You only started mentioning Tourunarigha and Adarabioyo after I started scolding you. I didnt do any selective reading…I only highlighted keys areas from your own copy/paste post that proves you goofed badly and did a far worse job in selections than that dumb, senile PHE teacher/mechanic that you so much hate, insult and criticize has ever done. Unfortunately you did even worse than him.
Oga…Im not like you…that never watches a players matches but will tell us he (J.Ajayi) plays as AM where as he plays as LWF for his club. There are no viewing centers where I am….I watch average of 6 matches every Saturdays and Sundays (sometimes watching 2 simultaneously) and average of 2 matches per day from the comfort of my home or office via the internet. If you want links I can drop them for you every time. Im not in the category of people who rant about players they’ve not watched here.
Ola Aina has played in a 3 man defence…YES…pls tell us who the other 2 CBs in that 3 man defence are…..LMAO a CB and a LB…?? Is it..??? Or another RB….???LMAO. Scot Parker that plays 2 natural CBs with Aina, is he dumb…?? Moreover, Aina isnt new to the CB role. He played in that role very well when he captained Chelsea FC in his youth football days up to U21. Even at england U21s he played CB. Coaches dont just move players all over the pitch indiscriminately…..you either must have played there before or have inate abilities to play there. And When they are forced to convert players from their natural positions, they do so with care by pairing a strong positional partner with the convert. You cant convert 2 full backs into CBs at a go. You are playing with disaster. When a winger is converted to a full back, he is often paired with a natural and established CB to cover him up in a RCB or LCB position. If you had common basic football sense, you would know that you cant just convert your two full packs to CBs and still go ahead to convert 2 attackers with poor defensive capabilities to wingbacks…you will get killed. With the 23 players we have now a perfect example of a 352 will be
Ekong, Balogun, Omeruo
Kalu, Ndidi, Aribo/Etebo, Zaidu
……..Iwobi
…..Nacho Osimhen
OR
Ekong, Balogun, Omeruo
Ebuehi, Ndidi, Aribo/Etebo, Simon
………Iwobi
……Nacho Osimhen
OR
Ekong, Balogun, Omeruo
Ebuehi, Ndidi, Aribo/Etebo, Ziadu
…….Iwobi
…..Nacho Osimhen
Go back and re-read your own copy/paste again and understand it….I highlighted key areas there for you to read and stop fooling around with super nitendo tactics here…..LMAO.
The passage stated clearly that …….The players in the back three are GENERALLY CENTRAL DEFENDERS (center backs), i.e. strong, tall, and good in the air……..” not fullbacks converted to CBs. I have asked you…and pls I use your papa name beg you….tell us 1 team…just 1 team that you have EVER seen playing a 352 with just 1 natural CB like you were proposing in your jeun jeun lineup….LMAO.
If we have to drop to defend…is a back 5 of Chukuweze, Ebuehi, Balogun, Zaidu and Olayinka a good defence in your head…??? LMAO. MR converter. All Professional players can play all positions. We go tell Onuahcu make e come partner Balogun for defence one day, or make he replace Chukwueze for right wing….LMAO.
Admit you goofed and move on. You have spent virtually the whole day defending your yeye lineup here to no avail. Mr Hush dropped just 1 lineup and matter end for there….na so we dey take know people wey truly sabi football…nor be people wey dey go copy wikipedia wey dem sef no read give us.
Ive told you b4….learn to be humble, just calm down and follow people wey know road. All this rabble rousing wey you dey do just dey expose your ineptitude the more…you are not saying anything sensible bro. Just jumping from pillar to post trying to defend your usual ‘over the bar’ submissions.
I’ve asked you several questions today you have not answered any. And I am asking you again….HOW MANY TEAMS HAVE YOU EVER SEEN PLAYING A 3 MAN DEFENCE WITH JUST 1 NATURAL CENTRE BACK…..???????????
I nor get strength for blind arguments…I want to watch Milan-Napoli, PSG-Nantes and Anderletcht-RC Genk. Our Naija boys wan ball. If you need the links ask me nicely and I will give them to you this minute. Go back a re-read you copy/paste post…and calm down to read it with undertanding…it NEGATES all that bladderdash line up you posted.
See people wey go call Rohr dumb, defensive, player converting coach o….LMAO. Pls as Ola as said, the day you ever criticize Rohr here again…na police station you go sleep that week.
@Dr.Drey… I posted you a current formation shot. I ask you since when does Ola Aina become a left Centre Back in a 3-5-2 formation? You think a central defender or Fullback drops straight from the mother’s womb? That’s where you are lacking in exprience from practicality… you just like to quote what you want to quote… even the Ekong you posted used to play RightFullBack at Haegusund FC, Norway. Where did Onazi first played at Super Eagles… Right Full Back, I also want to believe Umeruo, though lacking in speed can also hold the forte well at Right Back… of course I have told you even Balogun used to play there… but you only like to pick and choose from body of comments… no one can help an egoistic person… it is innate!
Oga…stop arguing off points…nobody argue any of the nonsense wey you dey talk now with you…no come here come change mouth or change the crux of the matter…..the question is HOW MANY TEAMS HAVE YOU EVER SEEN PLAYING A 3 MAN DEFENCE WITH JUST 1 NATURAL CENTRE BACK…..???????????.
The article you posted nailed your coffin…they even gave you an example of what ive been saying. The current formation of fulham you posted finally buries you and your ego…LMAO.
Scot parker plays Aina, Anderson and Adarabioyo in his back 3, same way England played Maguire, Stones and Walker in their back 3 at the world cup, same way Tuchel often play Zuma, Rudiger/Christiansen and Azpilicueta, same way Conte plays Bastoni, de Vrij and Skiriniar….LMAO. The Juventus of old will play chiellini, Barzagli and Bonnucci and flank them with Leichstainer and Evra/Alex Sandro. Each of these have at least 2 NATURAL CENTRE BACKS.
You wey be coach of all coaches wan play Ebuehi,Balogun and Zaidu and now make matters worse by flanking them with Chukweze and Olayika…….LMAO.
Stick to the arguement and stop shifting the goal posts…you cant lie your way out of this one….LMAO
@Dr.Drey… Hahaha. I did not see chukwueze at all near your lineup… Lol. Now you have smuggled Umeruo, a naturally slow player into your 3man defence now… when they used him like Tunisia attacker did him in the last friendly match it is you who will come here to insult him… CSN forumites have not forgotten how you lambasted Umeruo post Tunisia and Algeria games… What you have been lining up is a pathetic 3-4-3 and not 3-5-2… I repeat its natural wingers who play the wing backs in that formation… How you found your voice after I posted Fulham’s match 3-5-2 setup still baffles me… You must win an argument even though futile.
Hahahahaha…..fake liar still wants to argue…LMAO. Mr man If you dont know, your fulham setup indicts you heavily….LMAO. The set up has 2 NATURAL CBS and not 1. It corroborates ALL Ive been saying. The wing backs too are not both attackers like your nitendo tactics….LMAO. It also corroborates the example in your copy/paste which shows Magurie and Stones (2 NATURAL CBS). It also corroborates Mr Hush’s Tuchel’s chelsea analogy where you have Chrestiansen and Rudiger or Zouma in the back 3. THEY ALL HAVE 2 NATURAL CENTRE BACKS. Stop arguing without using your senses….LMAO. You have still failed to show us 1 team that play with 1 Natural CB like your crap formation….LMAO
My line up and your line up which one resembles a functional 352 more. In which constitution is it written that Chukuweze must start every SE match…Have you ever heard the word IMPACT SUB in your life b4…??? If you read my write-ups here about Chukweze very well I’ve always fancied him as an Impact sub. He even came on from the bench to play the same role for his club tonight. Chukuweze is best used as the final nail that will nail the opponents coffin when others have worn their defense out. Chukwueze will just come in and start beheading them 1 by 1. So shove your “I did not see chukwueze at all near your lineup” in the soak away.
Shame don catch am e nor know wetin to talk again…LMAO. I’ll rather have Omeruo playing in a 352 with Ekong and Balogun than have Ebuehi and Zaidu flanked by Chukwueze and Olayinka…LMAO. As terrible as Omeruo is, I will still start him in CD as a part of the back 3 than Ebuehi and Zaidu who have both never played as CBs b4…..LMAO
Once agian, My lineup and your own which one resembles 352 pass…LMAO. Which one resemble wetin we dey see top coaches play…LMAO
Here is how you lined up oo..incase you have forgotten….bcos I know you have a dwarfish memory…..LMAO…how does this resemble a 352 too……LMAO…If na by how I arrange the names….LMAO
Uzoho
Ebuehi Balogun zaidu
Ndidi Shehu
Iwobi
Chukwueze olayinka
Ajayi
Osimhen
No be 3-2-1-2-1-1 be this…..LMAO. My people how is this formation expected to work oooo…..LMAOOooooo….!!!
Compare with mine
Ekong, Balogun, Omeruo
Kalu, Ndidi, Aribo/Etebo, Zaidu
………Iwobi
…..Nacho Osimhen
OR
Ekong, Balogun, Omeruo
Ebuehi, Ndidi, Aribo/Etebo, Simon
……….Iwobi
…….Nacho Osimhen
OR
Ekong, Balogun, Omeruo
Ebuehi, Ndidi, Aribo/Etebo, Ziadu
………..Iwobi
…….Nacho Osimhen
Olodo…the lineup looks nothing like a 343…its has 2 wingbacks…..cant you see that its almost the same lineup Rohr lineup up vs SA in johanessburg or vs Iceland at the world cup or vs Argentina in the friendly…..???LMAO
Incase you blind….pls go pack to the same fulham set up you posted and see where their wingbacks are positioned and tell us how it is different from where I positioned my own wingbacks Kalu/Ebuehi and Simon/Zaidu……LMAO. Over sabi say na 3-4-3. Pls who are my wingforwards in my own line up that makes up the front 3 then…LMAO. Between your own lineup and mine, which one resemble fulham own pass….LMAO
Keep on soaking yourself deeper in fire.
@Ola don talk finish….small shame nor just dey your body. LMAO
@Jimmyball, last warning, don’t you ever reply or respond to my comments again, unless I mention your name, which I won’t
Your thinking level is low, and I can’t stoop so low debating with u
@Ola… hahaha. You have started crying and whimpering like a little bitch screwed hard. See you… You brought it on yourself when you first called me Olodo without provocation of any sorts from me. You see I respected @Dr. Drey because he respected me as our exchanges have been just purely an intellectual one on football… but straddling in came you, who could not help a natural default impulse to mudsling someone superior to you… now put your right thumb into your mouth and go sulking to sleep… hahaha!
Fellow forumites this js just to humble @Dr.Drey(Master) and @Ola(Indentured Slave)… Make we see confusionists for CSN forum now.
https://eplanalysis.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/fulsou.png
Tell me where you see Ola Aina positioned. I know Master and slave will still try to smell that little finger they poked inside a monkey’s anus thinking camera has not caught them live. No hiding place for egoistic friends… hahaha. @Dr.Drey… Just bow, no the play with JimmyBall a.k.a monkey-post-footballer according to you. Please if your blinking-red data allow you. Just open the link and laugh at yourselves. Master and slave Goodnight because I have put you all in your place… Little ones no go ever gree until elder smack their behind!
Dindirin, see how shooting yourself on the foot, you are posting to counter yourself.
Initially you posted the team list with 2 full backs in a 352 formation, which form the basis of this argument, now you post another team list that has only ONE full back (Aina) in the 352 format. So whose sense is not working here? Do you now see why I said I can’t debate with you.
As I have told you, you don’t worth my time
@Ola… while you at it, lemme correct your grammar small. There is no phrase like: “you don’t worth my time”… please next time write: “you are not worth my time”… smiles.
@Ola… If you and your leader come at me, you are both sure to take a loss anytime. I want to believe henceforth, you will be careful to counter me on purely football matters here… it’s allowed but come with some knowledge. You and your boss ask that I mention a team and coach with my implementation despite severally making reference to Aina at Fulham under Scott Parker for both of you… I had to submit proof. Your master knowing he came against a typhoon today has suddenly quietly vanished in his usual character of never accepting he has been beatup… I think it’s a good place to go to bed now and I am sure you, as well as @Dr.Drey… now accept @JimmyBall is formidable and knows his onions… Lol. We remain friends my friends… goodnight dear forumites!
Oga…stop telling LIES. I asked you to tell us one team that plays 35S WIH ONLY ONE NATURAL CB…..LMAO
CSN does not delete comments…go back and read the question all over agian.
Oga ex-footballer is biting the dust and now wants to tell lies to save face…LMAO…..our ex-footballer is drowing and now wants to turn the canoe upside down…..LMAO.
I ask again…

Why didnt scot parker play Aina, Tosin and Robinson in 3 man central defence….
LMAO…and then play Reid and Lookman as wing backs….LMAO..so they can have a back 5 of Reid, Aina, Tosin, Robinson and Lookman, like your own super tactics…LMAO

My friend has real ego, I have always noticed that… so now let me pose you a question… “going by your logic… since when did Ola Aina became a centre back? Why isn’t he playing the Left Wing Back as you posited?” Real characters on CSN forum… I love it! Since you are begging mr to go and sleep now… I know it is a cunning man’s way of saying… Ok boss it’s enough just let me off the hook! Hahahaha… you are released @Dr.Drey… lol, as for you @Ola, please make sure to dress your master’s bed tonight for a sound sleep! Hahahaha… One love!

Coachillla……!!!
Dem suppose recommend you for ballon de grammy….bcos this your tactical acumen do enter next level….! FIFA coach of the year alone no go be fitting accolade for you
@Jimmyballluuu….once again “….HOW MANY TEAMS HAVE YOU EVER SEEN PLAYING A 3 MAN DEFENCE WITH JUST 1 NATURAL CENTRE BACK…..???????????”
@JimmyBall……..All you need to do is simply accept that you goofed big time with your 3-5-2 lineup for SE, apologise for giving us a team list that will be walloped by the Squirrels with basket loads of goals. @Dr Drey even has time to read through your copy & paste epistle on 3-5-2 formation of which you never read before pasting because it contradicts your arguments on many fronts.
Seeing that line-up of yours, my candid advice to you is to never in your life venture into coaching business of any soccer team, even your street eleven, because if you do, the fans will definitely huddle a number of stones in your direction targeting your head
Please apologise right now to all of us in this forum for that gaffe of team list you made.
@Dr Banks… another disciple comes charging and rages headlong again… lol, no break neck o. It is copy and paste because I want the likes of you to educate yourself, it is free information… The piece described the setup and other variants and you all should be thanking me. Infact I will take it upon myself to post formation and tactics analyses here tomorrow for all to read… I promise the forum that. So when the likes of you, Ola, Drey come to argue, people can weigh you all on scale… no be just to the speak English untop zero practical authority. What is the difference between an Ola Aina and an Ebuehi, Awaziem or Zaidu? See them… they ask for proof… you nail on their head, then they scamper and come back with twists and convolutions… see the name @JimmyBall next time… respect it!
Unku go and read your copy and paste and educate yourself….LMAOOoooooo. Shame nor even catch you…you’ve spent a whole day defending a tactic that is not in existence. Oga wants to lie his way out of trouble….LMAOooooo
Once again
“….HOW MANY TEAMS HAVE YOU EVER SEEN PLAYING A 3 MAN DEFENCE WITH JUST 1 NATURAL CENTRE BACK…..???????????”

You are welcome my brother. One love…!

Instead whey you sef you just keep quiet and enter za aza room go enjoy the rest of ya weekend, you come dey rub petrol for body with evidences that rip your nonsense lineup into shreds…..LMAO
…@Dr.Drey… Hahaha. I must give it to you because I think you should have been a lawyer not a chemical engineer. Hahaha… Only that you will always loose cases on grounds of technicalities. You were representing yourself and went into the witness box and called for an evidence which was granted to you… instead of admitting it you circumvented and ask why the evidence is written in blue ink and not black? Hahaha… Oboy! How you manoeuvred back after posting you Fulham’s match setup as you requested saying the 3men must all be natural centre backs… at sighting Ola Aina’s name and number, your jaw dropped and like CJN Tanko… Lol, you started scavenging for vague characterizations… When you go for trials tell the trainer that… Sir, I am a fullback but it’s only with my right leg that I can play whether hunger no go be your name because you won’t even get a ball-pickers contract… Hahaha. Even Iwobi has been deployed as RWB and LWB this season… Why don’t you go and knock Carlo Ancelotti? Hahaha… Since it’s not Iwobi’s natural position? You have to come up with another 3-5-2 lineup for us because Samuel Kalu just got injured again… hahaha. Maybe you will now be forced to draft in a Chukwueze… Goodnight my friend! It’s been a long day…
JESUS CHRIST…..!!! Pls….if you know say na your papa born you….If you know you were not born a bastard…….pls go and copy and paste where I said “….the 3men must all be natural centre back…””
Do you have to tell lies just because you want to make sure you win Dr.Drey and become the champion of CSN by force….???
Oga stop lying and just go to bed…you indicted yourself here with ALL the evidences you presented……LMAO…..FULHAM PLAYS WITH 2 NATURAL CBS in their back 3. Your article gave example with 2 NATURAL CBs…..your article stated the back 3 in a 352 are usually generally CENTRAL DEFENDERS….LMAO
Stop trying to use sarcasm and lies to save face. Be humble and learn. Be humble and admit you goofed…..Simple.
Its a shame you are still here trying to arguing aimlessly. I no get time for you again…..everything has been done and dusted…….You can keep arguing with your lies and arrogance. I dont have time for a blatant liar.
Thank God all our discussion are here on CSN and can NEVER be deleted…..LMAO.
Ebuehi, Balogun and Zaidu in 3 man defence…flanked by Chukwueze and Olayinka…..dont worry, just open your lying mouth and insult Rohr again on this forum….the thunder that will strike you is jugging all the way from Beijing to Munich

You so disgusting for resorting to telling cheap lies just because you want to win n argument….LMAO.
If all you want is to win this arguemnt then bye bye…you win. We can even play a back 3 without any Natural centre back….there is no point putting balogun in that your back 3….we can make it Ebuehi, Aribo and Zaidu. It will work very well. infact we can convert Onuachu and Chukwueze into centrebacks and pair them with Ezenwa in a back 3 of a 352 formation. It will be a very STRONG, WATER TIGHT AND STOIC defence like that of Cameroon of old.
I cant believe I just wasted my time arguing with a blatant liar. Sies…!!!
Hahahahaha….who are you fooling….LMAO. 1niaja — jimmyball. Ex-footballer per excellence. LMAO. Sidonndia dey mark spelling….LMAO. You’ve forgotten I also busted your own spelling error the same day you busted mine…..LMAO. Fool.
i didnt know CSN was a spelling bee.
“…if you know say na your papa born you….If you know you were not born a bastard…….pls go and copy and paste where I said “….the 3men must all be natural centre back…””
Idiot…have you ever wondered how lecturers get to know 2 people copied…??? Have you ever wondered how examiners get to know a paper was written for someone by someone else…???
Have you ever wondered how reviewers know what author wrote a manuscript even though its a blind review…???
You are very stupid. Low life idiot like you thinks you can beat 2 decades of just reading, reading and reading
But I thought you said the other day that your arguments with Dr Drey are a friendly banter. Lol. You never learn….
Oya switch to you 1naija and comment again….LMAO
I repeat “…if you know say na your papa born you….If you know you were not born a bastard…….pls go and copy and paste where I said “….the 3men must all be natural centre back…””
Bloody fool. I never knew you were such an animal.
Blooddy lair.
he was in U17 camp in 1995 but was almost signed by ASEC Mimosas at the age of 24 in year 2000 through John Zaki….LMAO….Bloody liar. LMAO
Go and lie to your children you filthy pig…!
You’re still a fool and you will forever keep guessing who this is. If you like review a million writers. You have proven that it is bullshit
because you keep accusing the wrong person. I’ve made my point tonight and this is the last you will hear from me. All these psychology wey u dey try use no go work and exchange of insults not worth it as it seems you are a very miserable fellow. Have a goodnight.
1naija, don’t cop out now, the party is just getting started. Dr Do Little get una time o.
@hahaha… go pull up the archive where I told you it was in year 2000 Asec Mimosas made a contact with me? See am… I confused him again telling him “Liar” is rightly spelled as”Lair” and he has fallen for the trick once again with the wrong spelling… fake PhD holder… your ass is busted… hahahahaha. People are far smater than you here and you should humble yourself to be a worthy forumite… advice! I have such pity for his miserable life!
Hoahahahahah……bloody bastard liar has forgotten the lies he told here about John Zaki trying to connect him to ASEC mimosas in 2000 when he was 24years old but chose not to go…..LMAO. Thats how you know liars…ther always forget what they said previously….LMAO. Its like you dont even knows how much lies you have told on this forum trying to defend your fake footballing career……LMAO. This is the last straw for you…..LMAO. I promise.
Mr fool, if its only liar/lair error you’ve only spotted in my comments here on CSN all this while, then you have not started….LMAO. Here on CSN I type as fast as I can and hence commit errors…..mostly typographic…by my syntax and diction is second to none here…..my use of statistics is second to none here on CSN. It your dumbness has not alerted you the the fact that this structure of this fellow’s comments is quite academic and research oriented in nature, then sorry you are an ignorant fool. keep on marking spelling errors here on CSN. Instead of updating your knowledge of football…..LMAO.
Dont worry, I will copy and paste where you lied to us that you turned down a move to ASEC….dont worry. I will shock you…same way I shocked you with proof of your lies that you had an argument with me about Ademole lookman wehn it was actually someonelse you engaged with. I will shock you real bad. I think its high time CSN realized such a fat liar you are…Im going to shock you real bad you bastard.
Once agian I repeat “…if you know say na your papa born you….If you know you were not born a bastard…….pls go and copy and paste where I said “….the 3men must all be natural centre back…””
Bloody basterd has still not been able to copy and paste where I said “….the 3men must all be natural centre back…”” in this discussion …..LMAO
@Dr. Drey… We will still be friends but if you price me you go collect. That was what happened this evening… all was civil and a test of nerve till you dragged my family into it. Well… It’s nothing big for me to have had contact with Asec Mimosas through John Zaki… You see that as unbelievable because since you have never been a good sportsman, it appears far-fetched to you… I do not deny I said that but did I tell you it was in 2000 and that I was 24yrs at the time? Bro quit envy… Wetin don be don be! Look for Kingsley Elvis number and asked him who JimmyBall was… It should not be too hard. Get Paul Onobi number or Anthony Okpotu… they are still active, so it should not be hard for you. Search for them on Facebook… You can also look for Daniel Etor… These are my juniors.
Dont you ever…ever in your life call me your friend again…..EVER. Who is the friend of a liar…?? Who is the friend of murderer..?? Anybody who can tell lies like you can kill…..I repeat dont you EVER….EVER in your life call me your friend. You’ve just shown your true character…the useless hypocrite in you even disguised as a phantom 1naija bcos you didnt want to “stain” your name #jimmyball as being insultive…thats how low you can descend.
When you wrote the nonsense below
“….I know Master and slave will still try to smell that little finger they poked inside a monkey’s anus….””
You think thats not an insult…?? you think I didnt see it….?? I just ignored it. You have been flinging indirect insults ever since you started losing the plot, with more people coming to wash you down for you stupidity arguing blindly what has been written in balck and white and what was even countered by the fulham formation you posted. But I simple ignored them…..till you shamlessly resorted to telling white lies…
I challenge you once again…if you are born of your fathr, copy and paste where I said “….the 3men must all be natural centre back…”” in this discussion. If your are truly born of your father.
I thought you were trying to deny ever claiming ASEC wanted to sign you at 24 when you had earlier claimed you were in U17 camp a few years earlier which didnt add up to 7 years and I queried you that day but you were not able to provide answers…same way youve not been able to provide answers to the questions I posed to you all thhorugh this thread…??? No that I have promised to dig it our and YOU KNOW VERY SURELY I WILL, you not want to change tunes….LMAO….if you like patronize me till next year, i will shock you on this forum…it will be on a day you do not expect….i will take my time and search for it a post in on this forum…..Its high time everyone knows what lying fraudster you are.
I dont need to go begging strange people for their phone numbers to ask silly questions….at my age…??? Im not that jobless….a simple team list of the Lobi stars team of the early 2000s has done justice to that…..the same way the team list of MSV Duisburg whom you LIED you played for here also exposed your lies massively.
For the last time dont you ever…ever in your life call me your friend again…..EVER.
By the way Im still waiting for you to copy and paste where I said “….the 3men must all be natural centre back…”” in this discussion.
Nonsense
@SD Special Delivery Jones… hahahaha. Bro… forgive me, I was mistaken. He pounced me tonight because I folded my sleeves for him since morning… afterall we dey Corona lockdown and I have all the time at weekends!
Hohahahaha….you folded your sleves since morning…thats why you had to resort to telling lies to win an argument by force after to have been brought low and your long mouth rubbed in the sand…..LMAO. Fool…I’m also on phased lock-down where I am. I control my staff remotely from the comfort of my home…..I will continue wiping you like a bastard child on this forum….LMAO. There shall be no peace for filthy liars like you here
I repeat…IF YOU ARE NOT BORN A BASTARD SON go and copy and paste where I said “….the 3men must all be natural centre backs” in this discussion.
I am waiting for you to switch you name to 1naija again you bastard.
Hahahahaha…the tin pepper idiot for body sotey e wan nak in head for wall….LMAO. he had to change his name because he wanted to rain disguised insults on DR.Drey….the fool also forgot to change his writing signature….LMAO.
You can fool some of the people some of the times….all of the people some of the times, some of the people all of the times but not all of the people all of the times. LMAO
Bastard thinks he is smart
@Dr.Drey… my friend… ah! You have such a thin skin… then you should have resisted the urge to sling my family, I do not mind on my person. I have even forgotten we fought yesterday… it’s new day, go and chill. I never lied… you should never have resorted to personal insultive attacks especially to my folks who do not even know CSN forum exists, that is too close to home for a wave of the hand my friend. I never lied BTW… goodmorning. In the spirit of one love here, since you started the mud-bath… if you apologise to me, trust me I will apologise to you, CSN forumites and the admin who continue to give us this privilege… I am sure we both disappointed a lot of contributors here yesterday, but they will understand… start the healing process and we shall have a chance to parley here again in the usual ways of civil interactions… na fight we fight, we no be enemies, next time just do not start trouble on a one-way-narrow-alley… *smiles*
This one is hurt beyond reconciliation o…Idiot! I don’t know why them dey beg this miserable soul. You must be a loser with that PHD hence the amount of time you spend here going back and forth….lol I believe you do have a PHD — Poor Helpless, and Desperate lol
@Dr.Drey… Lol. Do you still want us to do a day 2? I can’t believe you are still trying to win this argument by my local time 03:10am Berlin time? I did not not know I bruised your ego so bad… kindly forgive me my friend. Ok… if it helps I concede to you just make church close… I am just laughing here. I am still awake because I have to do some academic research work atimes late… my friend is really an enigma! I thought you have long slept… I am just a very competitive individual just like you that is why it tuned a slugfest… I repeat again, as God is my witness I played football until my body could not anymore. It is between me and my God except you feel I have no fear of the Almighty… Godspeed to you brother! So long! Keine Sorge wir sind gut mein Freund… Schlaf gut!
Hahahaha…you lost the plot a lont time ago….LMAO. You lost the plot when you posted your copy and paste article that nialed your coffin….LMAO.
But your arrogance just made you continue arguing blindly and perambulating instead of just honorably taking a walk. And I made sure I goaded you till you resorted to telling cheap lies and trying to turn the argument away from the main topic.
You couldnt take it anymore that all your friends deserted you in your silly directionless argument and you started switching usernames all over the place to create pseudo-support for yourself……LMAO
We are still waiting for you to show us where Dr.Drey said all the 3men in a 3 man defence of a 352 must all be natural centre backs……LMAO.
Why is it so difficult for you to do……LMAO….why is it so difficult for you to find…..LMAO. I cant believe you’ve spend almost 12 hrs looking for where Dr.Drey said “…all the 3men in a 3 man defence of a 352 must all be natural centre backs on this..”” thread……LMAO.
Dont worry we will take this to day 365 even if it will take you that long to find that statement. And if you cannot find it then your are s cheap liar and a bastard.
P.H.D — Phenomenally Dumb abi na P.H.D — Permanent Head Damage
Which one? Lol. Retard.
@1naija… hahaha. I think it is Permanently Hallucinating Drey (PhD), please I beg you, try to save spare times to be here to read comments with us in the leadup to our remaining AFCON qualifiers. I can assure you before the next 7days lapse… another forumite with get into it with our friend @Dr.Drey here. You know, we know he knows some football but once person make any submission here 99.9% times out of 100, he will try to just ridicule first before making any lame addition to prep-up his bloated ego here as the football oracle of Completesportsnigeria forum. He is my friend and we know ourselves well that is why you see say I hold am hostage since yesterday morning… you query the idea of a Tyrone Ebuehi playing centre back in a 3man defence… he is 187cm same as Diego Godin who plays in such a setup always… so how do you want to dismiss it because you think Tyrone Ebuehi is a short man meanwhile he is taller than Kenneth Umeruo (185cm) who has mostly played in a a 2centrehalf setup for us, Ola Aina (184cm) who plays occasionally as a left centre back for Fulham this season? If you do not like what you think is weird experimental lineup from me, then make me see your views maturely without trying to reduce my views to comic relief… people must learn manners by force for this forum… we need to help some people grow up by fire by force!
Hahahahaha…who are you fooling…continue changing your name and arguing with yourself. I’d better be permanently hallucinating than to be a cheap liar and an impostor. I can see my being a doctoral degree holder also arouses so much jealousy in you. Clearly you are meant to be the most revered and accomplished person here on CSN, but one Dr.Drey is a mountain too far for you. LMAOoooo. Go and buy one if it pains you that much
Just admit you crave the kind of respect and on point assertions I command on this forum…..Just admit it and move on. There’s no point hating. You felt so humiliated losing once more to Dr.Drey that you resorted to cheap lies. Show us where “…Dr.Drey said all the 3men in a 3 man defence of a 352 must all be natural centre backs on this same thread….” but you are beating about the bush changing names here and there thinking you can fool all of us…LMAO…even when your writing signature is conspicuously imprinted on your 1naija stupidity….LMAO.
Bloody lying bastard dont change the course of this arguement….It has NEVER been about Ebuehi’s height or Aina in central defence……..LAMOooooo….bloody looser wants to shift the goal post in the middle of the matach….LMAOOoooo.
I’ve aske you sevreally “….HOW MANY TEAMS HAVE YOU EVER SEEN PLAYING A 3 MAN DEFENCE WITH JUST 1 NATURAL CENTRE BACK…..???????????” name them let us hear…LMAO
I dont know how simple questions are so difficult to answer for the biggest publc lair we have ever seen on CSN….LMAO
Ebuehi, Balogun, Zaidu in a 3 man defence flanked by Chukwueze and Olayinka…..LMAOOoooOOoo. I no fit laugh o. You really sabi football.
I will continue ridiculing your comments if they continue to be as senseless as your lineup….LMAO…because an Arrogant fool like you wants to be adored and worshipped on CSN wanting us all to believe and swallow all your lies by telling us further lies about playing in the Bundesliga……LMAOOoooo. Talk any nonsense you cannot defend or substantiate on this forum, like your ‘kelechi nwakali is far better than all SE midfielders includin mikel’ and watch me ridicule to the level of a pig that you are….LMAO
If you want to teach manners go and learn manners first, Go and learn to be humble and conceede when you have goofed. Go and learn to win an arguments with facts, fare and square. Go and learn not keep being a lying bastard….when you are done learning all these come back here to teach manners. You cannot give what you dont have.
Meanwhile, we are still waiting for you to show us where on this thread Dr. Drey said “…all the 3men in a 3 man defence of a 352 must all be natural centre backs on this..”” It shouldnt take you 24 hours to locate where the statement was made….LMAOoooo. You cheap filthy bastard. LMAO. He has been caught red-handed once aga
I can never be friends with such a blatant liar like you. The fact that you have no shame is what pains me for you the most…LMAO.
Make devil punish you make you insult Rohr for this forum again…..LMAO.
Chukwueze, Ebuehi, Balogun Zaidu, Olayinka in defence….LMAO. Coachilla of all coaches….LMAO
THOUGH I DIDN’T WANT SAY ANYTHING CONCERNING THIS THREAD, BUT WHILE GOING THRU. SOME COMMENTS AND I LUCKILY CAME ACCROSS THIS “JUNK” FORMATION.
UZOHO
EBUEHI-BALOGUN-ZAIDU

I come discover say na people wey don play ball for NPFL CLUB (LOBI STARS), GERMANY, play ball for MARACANA STADIUM, WEMBLY STADIUM & even play in the highest level of soccer (i’m still thinking if there’s any other highest level of club football apart from UCL) scatter this good for nothing formation…
I think this further proofs that so many people on this forum aren’t serious at aaaaal….
With this USELESS formation we don’t need minos like SEYCHELLES, TAHITI to “spell” nigeria, just call on PRIME FC OF OGBOMOSHO or UNICEM ROVERS OF CALABAR and the rest is history…
People wey sabi ball…. Una too much ooooo….
:::::SHALOM:::::
Simon is far better than Onyekuru ,even before Rhor came most coaches often played Simon .He was one of the star of 2014 qualifier esp against Cameroon .He used to be very good free kick taker .I think he deserve afirst eleven .Im yet to see any match he played badly .
