Exactly.

Iheanacho's clinicality and finishing is not enough to keep him on the pitch. Na when he see chance him go score.

Remove Iheanacho for Onyeka. Push Aribo forward to play behind Osimhen. He's making the runs into the Ghanaian box, what Iheanacho should be doing but isn't.

This substitution has the benefit of adding an additional player in midfield and solidifying the midfield and defence too.

Remove Chukwueze, bring in Dennis.

Is Eguavoen tactically astute to read the game and make these changes?

I doubt it. Eguaveon no be am

Icon79:
For the Second half: Iheanacho and Simon should give way for Dennis and Lookman. And I’d like to see Bassey come on for Sanusi as well.



O pari

AndSunGorilla:
the first 30-35 minutes were for Ghana but I think the last 10-15 was Nigeria in the ascendancy. So because we finished strongly in the 2nd half, the coach might want to keep the same formation. Though I think our midfield has been porous.

Omanambala:
Which kin Aribo?

13large:
My hope is that Eguavoen doesn’t ruin this talented bunch. No sane person starts 424 again after that Tunisia game

Dannyxy:
My issue in this game.

modified.
We need to plug that midfield and let Aribo be in advance midfield. Also bring in Onyeka. I would love to see Lookman and Dennis as well

Simple passes from chukwueze and Simon to aina and zaidu while running in field hereby creating a proper cross and nod chance is being ignored.
Ghana have not been tracking our full back over lapping run, but our winger are not tactically aware enough and they keep repeating same trying to dribble in field and loosing the ball.
In this hot weather allow the ball move for you when you are in possession with simple passes and run.


Ahhh I hope our coaches are seeing this..


Remove Iheanacho bring in ighalo or sadiq, remove chukwueze bring in Dennis.

Edopesin:
It will be his undoing if he doesn't change the game fast

Edopesin:
We are lucky to still have the scoreline level, I just witnessed one of the worst first 45mins of football

Subzero47:

Na wollocot dey start for Ghana...Nice.

safarigirl:
Na wetin I dey reason be this in the midst of the meltdowns

It is not just Eguaveon making this decision, it is the entire coaching crew and they are closest to the action, so, they know who to play

I am sure after the Tunisia game, they must have worked on what failed in the formation, to try it again

Like someone opined, just because Pep failed with a formation, does it mean he won't use it in the next game? Did Rohr not stick to a 4-4-3 even in the face of failure?

I'm not very confident in the Bonke guy, but if they are starting him, it must be for a reason

leathalbeast:
john bravo team, john bravo formation just partey alone will break that midfield

Icon4s:
We know that Nigeria are favorites to win in Abuja and so Ghana's major hope is this First leg in Kumasi.
If Nigeria wins tonight, then it is almost game over.
If Ghana wins tonight, they will have something to protect when they come to Abuja.
And if it ends in a draw, Nigeria takes the advantage.

soetanoreoluwa:
We are not doing too much on the midfield. Just set up on your normal midfield. That's all it takes.

theophilusj31:
Breaking news Ghana Kofi kyere is injured

Ppogbae:
Otto Addo has never coached a game with these boys and has only been with them for a few days.

The pressure is seriously on.

Odunayaw:
They could have just not allowed the plane to land so that our boys can enter by parachute.

For my mind now it is how we will pay them back I'm thinking of

soetanoreoluwa:
�nah nil nil you won play? Don't compete with their strength(midfield). Focus on your own strength.
