Agu, who has been in and out of the Super Eagles in recently years will look to cement a starting berth in the team, while Onyeka will be desperate to replicate his club form at the international level.

Hope the match will be broadcasted by DSTV? Please and please, NTA should not think of broadcasting this match o, can’t stress my neck again, because the last Nigeria match they broadcasted which was against Benin republic was just shambolic…
Up Super Eagles
Lol
Lol
I hope we’re supersport shows the match
I really fear for this midfeild against Algeria.
@Frankl
nothing to fear….
The highest thing ALGERIA can get from this match is draw case close….
Rohr can’t loose to them twice….
That is one thing about ROHR….
But be sure of victory….
As expectes, No surprise here.
I would have prefered AJAYI, ONYEKA, NACHO midfield….
Later on; AGU for ONYEKA…
IWOBI for NACHO…
Hence MY PREFERRED LINE UP;
1) YAKUBU (later OKOYE)
2) EBUEHI
3) SANUSI
4) AJAYI
5) EKONG
6) BALOGUN
7) MOSES for crosses, assist in defence (CHUKWUEZE sub.)
8) IHEANACHO (IWOBI sub.)
9) ONUACHU (DESSERS sub)
10) ONYEKA (though DM; AGU sub.)
11) MUSA, crosses, assist in defence (KALU sub.)
i.e
EBUEHI-EKONG-BALOGUN-SANUSI
ONYEKA – AJAYI
SIMON – NACHO – MUSA
ONUACHU
FORMATION: 4-2-3-1
(N/B: bcos of ONUACHU;…. MUSA & MOSES Should start & wheep in crosses for him.)
substitution: only 6.
Nna my own o!
U can form urs….
Do you have any coaching license?. I would want to recommend to a team
