Rohr has had a lingo work-up. More positive/optimistic outlook!
Possible 11 should be Uzoho, Collins, Ekong. Awaziem, Shehu; Ndidi, Etebo, Iwobi; Simon, Moffi, Iheanacho. This will be a good line to begin with depending on who is fit to play. VAMOS ARRIBA SUPEREAGLES!!!!
@Ayphillydegreat this is nice…..
4-4-1-1 formation
But I’ll love to see more of those new guys in the starting XI, then towards the end of the match the older guys comes in and tidy the job…
Iwobi maybe 30mins play only.
Paul should start, kelechi can be introduced second half like 20 minutes to the end
