Ndidi and Onyeka in midfield cannot progress the ball meaning that Iwobi has to drop deep leaving the front three on their own,expect a low scoring game

Hanibal:
The most balanced super Eagles lineup in a long while!

TheSuperNerd:
It would be more balanced if one of Ndidi or Onyeka got benched and Onyedika started.

An Onyedika-Onyeka-Iwobi or Onyedika-Ndidi-Iwobi midfield 3 is far more balanced than Onyeka-Ndidi-Iwobi.

Onyedika's profile is needed in the 1st and 2nd phases of plays. He will transit our plays better from a deeper role than either Ndidi or Onyeka.

So sorry, this is not the most balanced lineup we can have. Doesn't mean we won't win, but it is still imbalanced in some game aspects.

lbrichman2:
What does Onyedika need to do to start a match?

SamueItem337:
The last time we tried a midfield of
Ndidi-Onyedika-Iwobi it didn't work

Sugarboyy:
Yeah, I agreed with you.
Chukwueze played well against Rwanda.
He was so good that he got substituted at half time without him nursing any injury 🤕

lbrichman2:
Abeg, shey DStv go show the match?
My network is wonderful at the moment

Na LIE!!!!
Be like you no dey watch Ndidi recently.
I expect midfield dominance with this trio.
A destroyer, a Jacky and a guy that can make fwd passes.

SamueItem337:
Yeah
Supersport La Liga

TheSuperNerd:
Left to me, it would be Onyedika-Onyeka-Iwobi midfield but again Current Ndidi is high on confidence and does his B2B role well as seen at Leicester. So the Onyedika-Ndidi-Iwobi midfield is still balanced.

In the end, let's support the Onyeka-Ndidi-Iwobi setup.

Question is who "sits" as the MF Anchor between Ndidi and Onyeka? Seeing as both have the exact same Box-to-Box Profiles.

kentebemoney:
Whatever reason he was substituted for, is not for "not playing well".
If you can rewatch the match again, it's on YouTube.

Sugarboyy:
If he was so good in that match as you claimed, nothing would have made the coach to substitute him at half time.
Why didn't AE substituted Ademola or Boniface instead of Chukwueze?

Hanibal:
Of course it is not the "most balanced" we can have, but it is the most balanced in a "while"
This is way better than having just Ndidi and Iwobi in there

And I think we need to reintroduce ourselves to the new Ndidi, he's no longer the destroyer we used to know ( considering his new club role)

kingphilip:
Abeg make una help us with link to the game.

kentebemoney:
Coaches make substitutions for various reasons, you can play well and still get substituted. Na football be this na!!!
I assure you, rewatch the game again and your opinion will change.

Sugarboyy:
Give me just an instance please

TheSuperNerd:
I agree that this 3 man midfield is generally better than the 2 man midfield we have been parading. But note, a 2 man midfield of Onyeka and Iwobi took us to the Afcon final recently.

Personnel choices is what determine the balance of a set up. The wrong 3 man midfield choices can be outclassed by a more balanced midfield 2 and vice versa.

I agree with you 100%
