Who will captain the side with this line up? . I think iwobi deserves to captain this side
Error… CSN has Omitted Indidi as the defensive Midfielder and he’s likely to be the Captain.
Those names up there are 10 in numbers instead of 11
I was wondering who will play the CDM. I don’t know why they can’t just proof read before posting
433 will suit SE more, abandon 442 please
Link 4 d match please
Good line up especially dropping Aribo for Ihenacho. With this team we will win the match. Guys lets go there!
Is Aribo the cause of Nigeria not winning match? better sack that coach…..cant play Onuachu and Oshimen together…it’s negative vibes…and again Iwobi suspecting
Peseiro won’t last long… I read the answer he gave to interviewers that he does not trust Chuba Akpom that’s why he did not invite him. Yet he trusts yum yum player Bamaiyi and Ahmed Musa who everything should be done to cut him off that squad Hou g forward. He is 13years in the national team and no longer of any real weight in his club and past his relevance in the Super Eagles… He Ahmed Musa is taking a squad slot for another young player. We saw what they did to Peter Olayinka for years on end despite being one of Nigeria’s most consistent player in European football for the last 3years. Now with evident budding youngsters like Boniface and Orban, we still have an old man Musa Ahmed gatecrashing every quad list yet remaining permanently these days a bench player… Where is it written that Victor Osimhen must play 90minutes of every match Super Eagles prosecutes? Call a very good backup striker based on form and give him 25minutes after as a coach you see Osimhen has done his job… that’s how to protect your best players while involving others who could step in when he isn’t available… He Poseiro also Continues to play the outdated 442 pattern that cant dominate any good team playing a 5-man midfield as most teams have gotten adapter to in modern football… We sidon look with Mr. PESEIRO.
Goodluck to Nigeria…. The starting eleven is not bad but like I said we should look beyond these average teams and create more competition in the team so that we’ll be able to match Excellent teams.
Guys, I wonder what CSN posted here, instead of 11 players, They posted 10 Men herein, The line up is okay, they just need to be together and play as a team with great intensity, The result must surely Pop up
Can’t even watch the match anywhere…smh…why is it that nothing works in Nigeria. Nothing!
Go on YouTube you find the match
Guinea bissau 1 v nigeria 0
Uzoho useless sha…..
This is the fool that said he wants to win the Afcon lol
this coach…remove Lookman and leave Chukwueze on the field…that selfish player?? that guy is frustrating Oshimen and the other tall guy…
I hope super eagles will not fight each other in the dressing room today..lolz..omo see as them they shout on each other…selfish players everywhere.. obviously in this match is lack of team work..everyone wants to play and score..no cohesion.
So our Riggers can not rig this match right??? CAF is appointing referees that will destroy Nigeria and West African teams and to make matters worst we are employing strange coaches. It is the innocent well meaning Average Nigerians that are suffering. It is well God will see us through this crazy period.
i wont blame the referee baba..blame the selfishness of some of our players…and blame the coaching crew for the first 11..not our best…just a litle twist to the players that ended this game..i mean a little mix…they should be the first 11 in the coming game..especially in the defense area..they were so poor in the first half… let Iwobi coming in the second half
I beg, i cant just fit shout!! Pesero and his fellow drug sniffers should be sent packing befor the nest match, for a coach to call unuacho to come and be disturbing osihmen in that attack, a player that can not complement each other due to their obviouse style of play, iheanacho was the best player in the first half, you just take him out not even for moffi or lookman who you said will partner osihmen in ur interview, u went for unuocho the trailer, pesero and his crew are drug addict from venezuela. Moses simon should just retire him self, he is just a problem, chukueze is another moron, very ewu idiot footballer talent without sense, now i know why musa is always invited he is far bether than these foolish set of morons. Going forward 442 is not a good formation for eagles, he didnt work in nations cup, 433 is our best option thats what napoli and even mancity all big teams, u.need.3 man in the midfield to be able to dominate and creat more. If this fool had started ndidi iwobi and onyeka in the middle normaly etebo should be ahead of onyeka, however it allows iwobi to go forward more and work hand in hand with chukueze osihmen and lookman. We creats more chances in the 433 style. Fire pesero now infact today
