First time OWN hasn’t reported the starting 11 in years. Pesseiro seems to running a tight ship in camp by keeping the snitches in check. Iwobi and Hassan play different positions, only Aribo can start ahead of Iwobi in the same position unless Iwobi isn’t fit.

I’m guessing Yusuf is a rugged Kano boy -way more suited for the immense heat they will face playing at 2pm. That heat will be rough. Lookman and the otbers who did not grow up in West Africa are in for a torture.

Alhassan and Onyeka start in a double pivot. Iwobi starts in front of them in a 4-2-3-1 shape. They've corrected their previous story.

This is the midfield I was hoping for with Iwobi, Onyeka and one of Alhassan Yusuf or Raphael Onyedika starting. I'm not so sure about the Centreback pairing but we'll see how it goes.

The Center back pairing is not bad. Could be better with a ball playing CB paired with one of the 3 combo of Bassey, Ekong and Seyi... so I would have had either Omeruo or Awasiem paired with the 3 others I listed.

But with Ekong, I like his long-range passing. It can help swing passes to our wide players... something he does rather well.

WOW

Peserio was grown a brain and some balls.

He has made all the changes we would want including a SE debut to 2 players. He ain't playing around.

If the said Championship player is offering more than the PL player then why not? Just because you play in Championship doesn't automatically equate to being inferior. Ndidi and Kele both play there as well.

If you "offer more" you wouldn't be in the championship. But no yawa. I don hear.
