Pick your top 8 midfielders for the AFCON. Please bear in mind that these include wide and central midfielders.

We don’t have a box to box midfielder.

[Lolly]

Where is Alhasan Yusuf? His name should be on the list.

[Bigpokey24]

Wilfred NDIDI
Frank ONYEKA
Alex IWOBI
Samuel CHUKWUEZE
Moses SIMON
Ademola LOOKMAN
Gift ORBAN
Kelechi IHEANACHO

[Enyi]

It’s either Alhassan or Onyedika

[Babadee]

Chukwueze Lookman and Iheanacho are all forward players per Super eagles typical list


midfielders if I was choosing

Iwobi
Ndidi
Onyeka
Onyedika
Dele Bashiru
Abiodun Ogunniyi
Ifeanyi Matthew
Alhassan Yusuf

No Aribo

[packerland]

I was checking the boxes until I saw Musa’s name and I unchecked everything I checked. This poll is not serious.

Ol'boy, you must respect our captain. I was looking at the voting and none of you has shown any respect, at all. Na waaaa ooo

[olu]

I would take Iwobi, Ndidi, Onyeka, Aribo, Nwakali, Dele-Bashiru, Yusuf.

[bret- hart]

Ndidi, Iwobi, Onyeka, Onyedika, Nwakali,Yusuf, Matthew, FDB

[Tobi17]

Ndidi, Iwobi, Onyeka, Onyedika, Nwakali,Yusuf, Matthew, FDB

Kpom

[Tobi17]

Aribo must be a family member or something otherwise...

[naijaguy]

No Nathan Tella?? Nawao

[EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA]

I would take Iwobi, Ndidi, Onyeka, Aribo, Nwakali, Dele-Bashiru, Yusuf.

Happy to see that Nwakali is finally getting the appreciation he deserves.

[Agbako]

Personally I do not see any midfielder yet in our Team. I am sorry. Ndidi cut small (as defensive) thats All. As for me oooo.. That list no be am. Which one of the players really are playmakers in any team they play for? Or we dont know what a Midfielder do any more? If Iwobi is a midfielder in his team ok

Speak for yourself. FDB, Mathhew, Nwakali can playmake. Ndidi can also play futher up the pitch. You seem to forget that most African midfielders are used primarily as DMs in Europe. Even Mikel had to play DM despite being an AM/CM naturally.

He’s right. We have other MF at Barca, Man City and Liverpool that are not on the list.They are real MF.

EII,

You appear to be inferring that a CE member is a key contributor in OG


Cheers.

I don't think we should be going to that AFCON without Alhasan Yusuf.

[packerland]

I don't think we should be going to that AFCON without Alhasan Yusuf.

Sometimes I wish we didn’t have this many forwards and just keep things simple. It seems like the coaches are having a hard time dropping some of these strikers/forward players for central midfielders.

You aren’t far from the truth man. All we need are 3 strikers, as in outright 9s. Osimhen, Bonniface and Moffi or Sadiq, Whether it is 23 or 27 names. We are already lucky to have Iheanacho deputising as an attacking midfielder or winger. It’s a simple decision for a coach with common sense. We need at most 4 wingers to support these guys. So easy to pick; Chucky, Simon, Lookman, plus 1 (Tella, Musa, even Nacho). Then, even all they don’t play he can use the training time to build on our midfield personnel and give some other MF players a chance to blend with the team, ie Fisayo D-B, Yusuf, Nwakali, etc. , then the likes of Daga, Michael etc. it’s so unfortunate we find ourselves in this position with an unreasonable coach with unreasonable tactics.

[Tobi17]

We must have at least 7 midfielders in the final 27 man squad, this final list be a litmus test as to how truly stupid or reasonable Peseiro is, cause if he plans to line up his redundant 424/442 formation again, then we are in for a long ride before the first game.
