I like the fact that Osimhen is captain and he's starting, but seriously I just hope we don't wear him out. He needs plenty rest before the knockout. I say pull him out after 45 mins. The rest must learn to hold the forte without him.

Excited for Alebiosu sha. Hope to see Akin or Nnadi pop up later too.

Chelle why now? grin You should have giving my Onyedika an assist just like Ndidi and onyeka and sacrifice one winger, Simon is useless now. He can't cross balls.

Osimhen has no business starting with Onuachu. They should only play together if we are chasing the game.

This constant selection of an unbalanced midfield is worrying. Why not drop one of Osimhen or Onuachu for Akinsanrimo or Nnadi?

I like that Chelle rotated but I dislike us starting in such an unbalanced manner.

Moses Simon is dangerous.
All our wingers are not just good, but very good.

Me too. But then, I kinda knew one of Osimhen or Lookman was gonna start.

My worry is the 2 man midfield of Onyedika and FDB. I wish Chelle went with a 3-man midfield. Throwing in an Akinsanmiro (dropping Onuachu) and making it a 4-3-3 instead of a 4-4-2. FDB, attack minded AM alongside a ball playing DM in Onyedika. Dem wan overload Onyedika today. Akin in the mix would reduce the load.

Anyway, as weird as I feel about it, let us see it play out.

Is this going to be Uzoho's redemption arc? Or is his inclusion in the starting 11 going to spell incoming doom for the Super Eagles of Nigeria?

...find out on tonight's episode of Super Eagles: Dawn of NFF. 😁

That na your matter o

He’s the best striker we have after osimen

Instead of criticizing Paul we should watch his club games and play to his strengths

Because club wise onuachu is a different animal
