Continue with the 3-5-2 formation,drop Ndidi,Iwobi and Boniface. Invite Gift Orban and get Tosin Adarabioyo by all means- Things the Nigerian Coach Must do to get the Super Eagles to the 2026 World Cup !

Coach Eguavoen appears to be the chosen one to help Nigeria qualify for the Mundial after failing to qualify us for Qatar 2022. He however needs to make some tough decisions which may annoy some big boys in the team
and some top dogs in the NFF!

Victor Boniface is an overhyped striker! He has the potentials but not yet there. His shot conversion rate(18.75%) is very low despite playing in a club that creates multiple chances for him! He scores a goal for approximately every 5 shots he takes! He should not be starting for the Eagles!

Ndidi is one of the old heads in the team and well respected but his marking and ball passing skills aren’t really great! He is a leader in the team and though he does have some good moments with Leicester, he is well past his prime! He should not be starting! Eguavoen must have the testicular fortitude to bench him. Onyedika and Onyeka are younger, tougher and better !

Iwobi doesn’t have the energy,brute force and goal scoring abilities to be starting as our number 10. He does have some guile to his game which has helped him in his career in England but he doesn’t have enough to be bossing the midfield of the Super Eagles. Dele Bashiru is more compact,rugged and a better scorer of goals.

Gift Orban must be invited! He offers something different from all our other strikers! He can shoot with both feet from outside the box, take free kicks and he is more like Ademola Lookman. He scored 15 goals in his debut 2022/2023 season in Belgium while Boniface scored 9! He scored the fastest hat trick in any Uefa competition and has now become a regular with Lyon ! He can support Osimhen or deputise for Lookman!

NFF, do everything within your powers to get Chelsea’s Tosin Adarabioyo to commit to the eagles! That guy with Ekong, Ajayi and Bassey will make our defence world class!

Finally, coach pls revert to the 3-5-2 that brought us success at the Afcon! Our former coach learnt the hard way before he finally settled for that formation! Nigeria is no longer a high scoring side hence the need to consolidate on our defensive solidity! Don’t tweak the formation to accommodate some old guys in the team! South Africa is not smiling, they destroyed Congo 5-0 yesterday and they are determined to clinch the World Cup ticket ahead of us! All hands must be on deck to get the ticket and even though it will be difficult, it is not impossible!

Iwobi played almost a perfect game against Libya

OP thank you jare

where is Orban now, how many goals has he scored this season?
Tosin is in chelsea now but how many games has he played his season?

yes i agree they should be invited but you can only invite an active player that plays week in week out but am worried why Taiwo Awoniyi is still included in that team, players like Dessers deserve a place that team more than Taiwo

we still need players like iwobi, boni and wilf these guys are too important to the naional team but the inclusion of these boys you mentioned will add more quality to the team

Tosin in Chelsea is better than Benjamin Tanimu in a 3rd division in England.....a club that he hasn't even played for.... he's always on the bench.

We definitely need tosin

There's a saying that "na the pikin wey raise hand person go carry" is Tosin ready to commit should we keep begging England's rejects to play for us, how long shall we keep begging them. If he's not ready he should be swept aside. It's not mandatory you play for a national team

As soon as you mentioned Ajayi,I stopped reading

If Tosin declares for Nigeria he will obviously get picked. But he hasn't declared for us so no point comparing him with Tanimu.

1. If we continue to olay 3 - 5 - 2 we will never achieve anything. This formation makes it easier for smaller teams to play for a draw. 4 - 4 - 2 with 2 defensive midfielders is much better, and allows us to put our best players on the pitch.

2. You cant drop Iwobi. He is the best passer.

3. Gift Orban is not playing so well at the moment but i agree Boniface is overhyped. More importantly, Boniface is not the best option to combine with Lookman. We need a target man to create space by occupying the defenders.

As a matter of urgency, the NFF should look into Monaco's Ilenikhena and Porto's Omorodion.
