Name doesn't play football is how sound the coach is technically how will he pair osimhen and Boniface will he bench one for the other or use them both though I doubt if osimhen will come because he is injured we shall know in a year if finidi is a good coach or not |

This team needs to play lots of friendly games to really understand themselves. I like the chemistry between ola AINA and ADEMOLA. Chukwueze is not really bringing value to the team. Most of how opponents have studies his move and can easily predict him. We will need another left footed winger |
