So where will Garba Manu fix-in players like:

Wilfred Ndidi
Kelechi Iheanacho
Musa Yahaya
Chidiebere Nwakali
Isaac Success (Likely to replace Awoniyi)


I love the competitiveness in this team.

Wilfred Ndidi was fantastic at the last U17 and also fantastic during the qualifiers for the AYC. He was not listed for the AYC due to club engagement. I believe he can still break into the team upon return

Iheanacho Benefitted from Bernard Bulbwa's failing of MRI just before the U17 WC. Bernard Bulbwa is back in the team and again kept Iheanacho out of the starting line up for the qualifiers for AYC. Iheanacho might make the squad but might nt make the usual starting line up.

Musa Yahaya was dropped from the AYC due to injury sustained days to the kick-off. He is likely to return to the team, however the coach needs to chose between him and the highly talented Ifeanyi Mathew for the starting 11. (Me think he is more creative, more skilful and more adventurous than Ifeanyi Mathew)

Chidiebere Nwakali was great at the U17. But since after joining ManCity it has been one injury or the other. Coming back to the Flying Eagles he would have to fight for a place with players like Obinna Nwobodo and Ibrahim Alhasan who were virtually flawless.

Taiwo Awoniyi has so much benefitted from the long absence of Isaac Succes from the Team. We know Isaac Success as the arrow head in the attack of that Team. Since after Awoniyi replaced the injured Success in that U17 Group game against Sweden, it has been Awoniyi all the way. Granada FC has not helped matters as they have held on to Success and not releasing him for any of the Flying Eagles games. Taiwo is good no doubt but Isaac Success is better. If he would be available for the WYC and he is in good enough form I see him replacing Awoniyi as the Center Forward.

Bros you know how we roll na. An average Nigerian football fan is a coach

The idea behind coach Manu Garba's team is to have 1st eleven and 2nd eleven of equal strength ....he actually want a team that when a player is not available for or injured before a match there is always a better replacement .

I want to see another player that can play in Musa Mohamed's wing .

Sorry sir, Simon Moses was not in this set's U-17 like you wrote. Infact, he was at the last U-20 World Cup in Turkey, together with Pyaghara.

Ok thanks.
