He is well complimented at his club by his teammates and I think he can be a breakout star... if he is allowed to roam the same way he does at his club. Against Egypt in Cairo he played as a lone striker with balls being booted up to him and holding up the play...but if you see Utrecht they have player on the wings constantly trying to run the ball at their opposition, you ee Jacob running on the flanks trying to get open... you don't see that at Zed level because our strategy does not compliment him... he is constantly getting the ball with his back to goal..which is why his weaknesses are being exposed..you need a good first touch to create space especially if you are not getting the ball in advantageous positions. Jacob will need the right kind of service for him to be a breakout star..and if it happens that the midfielders provide him that service... then I'm sure he will exploit it.

And Mbola who is constantly overlapping will one of three defenders.... You may aswell play with Mweene as yur number 9 because after Mbola overlaps then what? You are left with 2 defenders against a team like Tunisia who sit back and counter all day. When you play a 3-5-2 your three defenders are more than likely going to be all centre backs... or at least have centre back qualities not fullbacks who like to overlap..that like chelsea playing ashley Cole in central defence. Your full back would have the tendancy to get drawn to the wing, and thereby creating space in the middle for strikers to exploit. Think about it my brother @hachigubu

The extra player in midfield allows a stronger defence, and the midfield could be staggered for different effects. The three midfielders normally play closely together to protect the defence, and move laterally across the field as a coordinated unit. The three forwards split across the field to spread the attack, and may be expected to mark the opposition full-backs as opposed to doubling back to assist their own full-backs, as do the wide midfielders in a 4-4-2. When used from the start of a game, this formation is widely regarded as encouraging expansive play, and should not be confused with the practice of modifying a 4-4-2 by bringing on an extra forward to replace a midfield player when behind in the latter stages of a game. A staggered 4-3-3 involving a defensive midfielder (usually numbered four or six) and two attacking midfielders (numbered eight and ten) was commonplace in Italy, Argentina, and Uruguay during the 1960s and 1970s. The Italian variety of 4-3-3 was simply a modification of WM, by converting one of the two wing-halves to a libero (sweeper), whereas the Argentine and Uruguayan formations were derived from 2-3-5 and retained the notional attacking centre-half. 4-3-3

They guy keeps the central defence busy. Though like the article says he needs to polish up his finishing and his first touch atimes is a bit off. But i have seen a lot of improvement watching him play for Utretch this season. Going by experience i would go for Jacob starting. I feel HR should try playing JM and Mayuka especially during these friendlies. I feel Mayuka has a point to prove. He just needs game time from HR.
