Goke7:Stop doubting this team. They have to the potential to get to the Semi-finals of this tournament. They just need to start Toney,Eze and Palmer.Let Watkins also see some minutes from the bench in their next games. |

TheSuperNerd:They can beat Swiss, if they start with the players that finished this Slovakia game. |

TheSuperNerd:They can get to the Semi-finals, if they start with the line-up that got them the equaliser and the winner. Kane and Toney upfront. Palmer and Eze also starts. |

Southgate should sub Kane at the beginning of the second half if they want to progress beyond this round. I expect to see Palmer by 65th minute. Eze can also play a part in midfield. |

TheGoodJoe:Finidi made the mistake of playing both Ndidi and Onyedika in the same mid-field.The both failed to click as a double pivot. Whenever they start together there is no clear definition of roles. The pair did not click against Mali. Against Mozambique a mid-field pivot of Onyeka and Onyedika clicked. Our mid-field should have been Onyedika,Iwobi and Dele Bashiru. or Ndidi,Iwobi and Bashiru/Olawoyin. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

faithtemisan93:Finidi got it wrong by starting Ndidi alongside Onyedika.The pair seems to have no clear definition of roles whenever they start together, as evident in the match against Mali. He should have dropped one for the other, while starting Yusuf.His mid-field needed a work horse like Yusuf. Before the match I predicted a 3-5-2, with Chukwueze and Lookman leading the attack. Onuachu was average against SA,Boniface is unfit while Moffi didn't have the best of games from the bench. |

Joebie:Aa ah, Joebie we watched this match together. Sometimes he was wide crossing for Onuachu,other times he was trying to drift into the box to shoot on goal. Both for Atalanta and even in the AFCON, his goals came as an AML,LSS and false 9. A position just behind the main Striker not playing as an inverted winger or as a traditional winger. He played the SA match as both a traditional winger and an inverted winger. |

Iwobi likely to grab an assist today#Soar Super Eagles#. 5 Likes |

Finidi is considering replacing Tanimu with Awaziem, though I prefer Sodiq Ismael to the both. Sodiq Ismael is more of an attacking outlet and can get us goals and assists. |

Boniface won't be starting today.He looks so unfit and favt,he also came last in dwells according to the fitness trainer of the team. He will be coming from the bench in the second half. He is still recovering from the injury that stopped him from starting in the Europa League final. 1 Like |

faithtemisan93:Replace Lookman with Ejuke(RW),replace Fisayo with Lookman,replace Iwobi with Fisayo.The base of the midfield should be Iwobi and Ndidi. |

TheGoodJoe:Childera Ejuke can play the LWF in a 3-2-4-1. ......Walker....Dias.....Akanji...... ............ Stones .....Rodri ............ Alvarez.....Debruyne Bernardo........... ..... Foden ............. Haaland....... Lookman and Iwobi takes the place of Alvarez and Debruyne while Ejuke and Chukwueze takes the place of Foden and Bernardo. |

Silentgroper:A 3-4-2-1 was used in the final with Scamacca as top 9 while Lookman was playing just behind him as an AML or LSS.He wasn't playing wide because it's not a 3-4-3 with him playing as a wide winger. 2 Likes

isan:Coach Xabi of Leverkusen couldn't create any chance for his striker who was on the pitch for 45mins? No talk that thing enter Germany. |

isan:When it comes to creating chance the Leverkusen side is the best in the Bundesliga last season. Boniface was not 100% fit which is the reason, he came from the bench. He had 45 mins on the pitch in a Europa League final but couldn't get on the score sheet.This is down to full fitness. 1 Like |

M7even:Onuachu was not Jose Peseiro's second choice striker. He calls on Onuachu when we are trying to hold on to a lead.Onuachu does this by drawing fouls from the opponent, which tends to slow the tempo of the game. Against South Africa in the Semi-finals of the AFCON, when we needed a winner, he called on Moffi. This is because, Moffi is good on the counter and can get us a goal in counter attacking situations due to his electric pace and trickery. |

No they are not. Chukwueze played RW, while Lookman played LW. As a winger you tend to pass or cross to the Striker, attacking midfielder or an on-rushing team mate.It's rare to see a winger send the ball to the opposite flank. The both have played together in times past and exchanged passes a couple of times. 9JAMac10: |

minfelix:Pls, we don't need Ighalo. Call-ups should be according to performance in one's league while considering the competitive nature of the league i.e the position of the league and club in the UEFA and world ranking. For crying out loud, you can't be enjoying retirement money in a less competitive league like the Saudi Arabia Premiership and be expecting call-ups to the senior national team of Nigeria. We are not Montenegro or Libya. We are the giant of Africa and AFCON finalist. How can we have the best strikers banging all cylinders in the top 3 and top 5 leagues and still be inviting veterans in back water leagues? |

LoverOfPussy:]In a 3-5-2 the both can play as our strikers. They have both played this position a couple of times. Our Strikers do not get on the score sheet when called upon.Moffi and Onuachu missed chances.Boniface is just returning from injury.He struggled when called upon in the Europa League Final.He lasted for 45 minutes on the pitch but couldn't convert any of the chances created for him. Finidi's mistake in our last game was playing Lookman as a LWF instead of AML and LSS. Lookman for the past 2 seasons has been more effective for Atalanta as a false 9 in a 2-man attack or as an AML or LSS when playing behind the main striker as seen in Atalanta and the AFCON. In the AFCON, his goals came while playing behind Osimhen while Zaidu as a LWB covered the whole of the left flank with Moses Simon playing as a wide forward by whipping in crosses for the both.We saw Simon interchanging with Lookman but was always playing as a wide forward.This is the reason why Simon has only assists to his name and was without a goal. Lookman couldn't get a goal on Friday, because he was always wide.He is either crossing for Onuachu or drifting into the box to shoot. To get the best out of Lookman you must play him in his most effective position as we did in the AFCON or like he plays in Atalanta. Lookman is better as a false 9,AML or LSS.Chukwueze can also partner him as he has played that position a couple of times in his Villareal days. If I may ask.Why should you leave your most clinical player on the wings to be whipping in crosses for another striker, when he can easily get you goals and the needed 3pts when he plays just behind the main striker as seen in the AFCON or in Atalanta or when he features as a 9? Lookman functions best when he is very close to the box.He is a fox and predator in the box. 3 Likes |

My Analysis of our Game Against SA I predicted that Findi will be playing breathtaking/attacking football before the game on Friday. Defence: Nwabali did well. Ajayi and Bassey were solid.The pair has played together for a long time and have built a telepathic understanding between them.The central defence position requires 2 CB who have played a couple of games together and have built a certain Chemistry between them. Bright Osayi Samuel did very well as a make-shift left-back. Benjamin Tanimu is a Centre Back and not a Right Back.He made a lot of tackles, interceptions and recoveries, typical of a good centre back.He couldn't join the attack nor make overlapping runs down the right like Osayi since it's not his natural position. Verdict on the Defence:Nwabali starts again as GK. We should revert to a back 3 with the trio of Benjamin Tanimu, Ajayi and Bassey playing as centre backs. Bright Osayi Samuel will now operate as a left-wing back while Sodiq Ismail of Remo Stars plays the right-wing back.My choice of Sodiq Ismael is because of his numbers in goals and assists this season for Remo Stars in the NPFL. Mid-field:In the absence of Frank Onyeka, Wilfred Ndidi starts as holding midfielder with Alex Iwobi playing as a central midfielder. Fisayo Dele Bashiru starts as attacking midfielder. Attack:Since Paul Onuachu did not get on the score sheet and was average bar his pre-assist for Dele Bashiru's goal, he should be dropped to the bench. Lookman did not play in his preferred or most effective role.He played mostly as a wide forward on the left, crossing the ball for Onuachu who couldn't get on score sheet.This hinders his efficiency in front of goal as Lookman goals this season has always come with him playing behind the striker as either AML or LSS, as seen in the AFCON and for Atalanta this season. Lookman starts in a 2-man attack with chukwueze.Chukwueze had a fine game he was a threat in the second half and almost got on the score sheet, if not for the ball hitting the bar.He is not new to this position, as he has played in a two-man attack before.In one occasion was the game against Bayern in the champions league when he came from the bench for Villareal to net the winner. This formation will earn us a comfortable win with a 2 goal margin. Nwabali Tanimu Ajayi Bassey Sodiq Osayi Ndidi Iwobi Fisayo Chukwueze Lookman It's a 3-2-2-1-2.A variant of 3-5-2. I'm the guy that predicted Fisayo scoring or assisting on Friday which he did by getting us the equaliser. 2 Likes |

LoverOfPussy:How you go dey use long balls when Onuachu dey pitch? Long balls means you are now looking to hit the opponent on the counter. Sodiq Ismael will perform better at RB. |

Remo Stars Sodiq Ismail is considered a better player to Osayi and boasts of goals and assists as a RB this season. Joebie: |

If we are using long balls Onuachu should make way after the first-half. Moffi should start the second half as he is more suited for counter attacking football and will utilise more of those long balls efficiently. I expect to see Boniface subbed in by 70th minute. |

AndSunGorilla:It's a 4-3-3 with Lookman playing as a AML and Iheanacho as a AMR. |
