This is an opinion.

Although I cannot do anything to influence the coach's decision on the team's setup and formation in tomorrow's must win or draw match against the AFCON host, as a Nigerian tired of subpar performances and hoping to see our nation go beyond the group stage and even lift the trophy, a decade after achieving that feat, I feel I have a singular responsibility to suggest a lineup and tactics that will work in case anyone cares to listen.

I watched Ivory coast's game in the opening match and like every other Nigerian, I watched Nigeria's game too.

Ours was a disappointing result and only a win or draw versus the host nation is acceptable.

Of course, ivory coast will not be here to play all 90 mins long.

The bright side of our game against equitorial guinea was the inclusion of certain players who were fun to watch and gave the game any semblance of life- Osimhen, lookman, iwobi and Aina.

Cote d'Ivoire wants to win and they are going to press high all game long. The only technical player we can rely on to give iwobi a helping hand in creativity and chance conversion is senior man kelechi.

I was surprised he was an unused substitute in Nigeria's opening match and that must be down to favouritism.

Senior man as he's popularly called has the rythm, can read the intensity of a game intellectually and create spaces with his skills and left foot. Lookman can run, Aina can cross, onyeka can soak pressure, Osimhen can score, iwobi can create and pass but who can open space?

Think of Gabriel Jesus and his duties at Arsenal. That's a similar role to what we can endow on kelechi and trust him to execute it to perfection.

My ideal formation is a 4-1-4-1

Aina- Ekong- seyi-sanusi
Onyeka
Simon-iwobi-kelechi-lookman
Osimhen

Kelechi plays right behind Osimhen and we can have a good game ladies and gentlemen.

you kept Yusuf out, who would then fight for the ball, Nigeria midfield lacked aggression against EQ, against Ivory coast you need a robust midfield Yusuf needs to be in the starting 11

BigDawsNet:
We need 2 Dm to play ivory Coast... those guys are attacking team oh

I'm not sure about double DMs but I think we need a strong midfield. Since Al-hassan is out I expect Peseiro to come up with a strong back 4. I expect him to draft Bassey to the left( because the Ivorian have very fast, swift, pace wingers like bayo)
I expect the same at RB.. maybe play someone like Awaziem because Aina most times loses concentration. With Onyedika shielding them.
I think the 4-1-4-1 is good sha, let see how it goes.

Why no drop Simon for chukwueze ?

Make i no see Zaidu sanusi anywhere close to that starting eleven tomorrow oo

You even took out Yusuf

Any formation you play, dem go beat Nigeria wotowoto! Naija and Sentiments

Femeto:
We should use thesame formation we used against E.G. Simon should be removed for Kelechi

They do not play the same role sir

iFESTAC680:

He was stretched out last game.. although he returned briefly after. His fitness level will be a issue, I do not expect him to start

iFESTAC680:
Why no drop Simon for chukwueze ?

Chukwueze na squad player.. all those 20 minutes cameo that makes a difference..

If Kelechi is match fit, it is a no-brainer to start him behind Osimhen.
However, I think Zaidu has lost the right to start with that wasteful performance in our first match.
The coach should try other players in the left full back position.

Holybwoy:
You get sense chief..

Also draft bassey to left back and we have a game on our hands

That's what I said... draft Bassey to the left back because the game is not for the faint-hearted. It's going to be physical and tactical also. Ekong can pair Omeruo or less prone mistake Awaziem.

Moses Simon is not a good footballer, wen we have a winger like Victor Moses, Mikel in the middle again proper ballers then we can talk.

yemmit90:
No formation can work for Eagle as long as we don't have quality players. These guys are just not good enough, that is all.

But Rhor was grinding out results

Shattuck:

Onyeka will. If bassey plays left back too, he will play the zinchenko role and play 2 positions to drop and assist onyeka

Yusuf is a huge doubt.. he was injured in the last game

In still get hope concerning this Super Chickens ..?? U go dey trust this present set of eagles...??

Iwobi is good only that he find it difficult to score goals

Hemanwel:
I don't know so much about the Super Eagles coach, Jose Pesseiro; but one thing I can predict about him is that, his sack letter will be delivered to him via Air Peace over there in Kokofua. Lol.

Be that as it may: Nigerians don't understand that the present crop of Super Eagles team is an assembly of below average mediocres. Yes, you heard me! Apart from Victor Osimhien, mention any player in the present team that is Barcelona or Real Madrid worthy; and worse still, under the tutelage of a clueless coach, and you are now expectant of winning the AFCON. Kill that expectations, bro!

don’t give yourself high BP.

You see those people like people wey wan win?

Every tournament, we keep doing permutation and combination.

Passion and drive left our National team years ago!

These crop of players now play as if nothing is at stake! They more into fashion than football itself!

I remember the days Nigeria will be down 2-0 and you still be seeing massive support cos they strongly believe the team will get back and win!

Reverse is the case now. We now pray to win and don't even believe our team!

IMPARTIAL:
So Iwobi is now a defensive midfielder! I laugh in pronoun!

The joke is on you. That's one attacking and one defensive midfielder.

Who is Seyi in that defence. Any formation without Semi Ajayi is OK. That guy is too soft

Adding Zaidu Sanusi and Simon to the starting eleven shows you didn’t watch the last match. Those two were among the guilty parties that made us drew that match. Simon has no business benching Chukwueze and Sanusi is too limited to be benching Bassey. The coach might have learnt this bitter lesson about those two.
