He should just sit the competition out if he knows he isn’t 100% fit,cause if he suffers a setback it would take a longer time to heal he might even miss the world cup. But if he is fit he might come on as a sub in the bissau game. But that game is a sure win though the se shouldn’t do a Algeria (some ppl will understand what I meant)
This match would be Nice if we use it to discover more weapons we could use in the second round. Why not try iheancho as the top 9 , he has done it before and can still do it, I doubt if sadiq can play number 9 for us .. Esp when oshimwn and igahalo would be returning after the afcon.. Why not try aribo as the main attacking midfielder. Why can’t we try iwobi now as a winger like he did in the last match.
My formation for wed.
Uzoho
Ehuehi. Awaziem. Ajayi. Collins
Onyeka. Uwankali
Aribo
Iwobi. Ejuke
Iheancho
@Ololo perfect lineup for our next game I won’t alter your lineup.
Iheanacho is better and dangerous as a pointman I have said this many times but Nigerians believes he’s best playing behind the pointman I don’t know how they arrived at that probably due to his exploits in his youths.
But the Nacho I know will flourish as a centre forward.He has played and excelled leading the line for Manchester city and Leicester city so why can’t he do same for Nigeria?
Iwobi’s on case is debatable because Yobo says he’s best playing from the wings and everyone now follows that template,however,Iwobi is better playing in the midfield.He echoed the same to his club coaches on his best position.Iwobi is the best passer of the ball in the super eagles he did so well during Rohr’s days as a coach playing as a midfielder.
Iwobi is not a winger and was wrongly played by Eguavoen.Iwobi is a number 10.
It’s true I was a Leicester fan last year, iheanacho is more better or plays better when he is behind a point man like a second striker
Guinea bussau 3 Nigeria. 2 .
Pls don’t abuse me . This is wat came out after checking.
Lmaoooo….. You got some jokes. I’ll counter you and say Nigeria 2 GB 0..
Most of the players in the lineup above havent played together in a match setup before and may find it difficult understanding each other in a game of this magnitude.
Guinea Bissau is no pushover, they may not have won any match yet in this afcon but they have shown how strong they are in possession and how they can play together as a team. They are getting better game by game and if we think we can just railroad them easily with a completely knew set of players, then we need to think again.
Yes, we should try some players and new formations but I dont think we should change the who team.
We can change the attacking players and probably one player in midfield and two in defence. We keep the central defenders till about half time before making changes. We can also change the goalie as we have experienced goalies on the bench. My team list for tomorrow’s game would be
UZOHO
AINA. EKONG. SEMI. COLLINS
(Ebuehi) (Awaziem)
NDIDI. NWAKAILI
(Frank)
HENRY. IWOBI. EJUKE.
(Musa)
SADIQ
(Peter)
I agree with u but I will even start ebuehi,play iwobi in nwakali position and Aribo as the AM. Bring nwakali 2nd half for aribo and they can switch positions like u have written
I will start Sadiq just as u have written, play him for 45mins and bring in olayinka.
I want to win the game
