Alhassan ain’t fit and out of the squad. Likely means it’s Aribo + Onyeka + Iwobi
AlHassan would’ve been picked apart by the CIV MF. This game isn’t for rookies.
I would happily have a rookie that played 6 Champions League matches and his team is the current Belgian league champion in today’s match that either Aribo or Onyeka.

Fret not my brothers. I landed in Abijan last night. My mere presence will inspire the boys to victory. 3 points coming our way.

343 is a STUPID formation, given that our wingers have been poor, and we are weakening our midfield.
Why not play 352 so we can strengthen the midfield and utilize our strength in striking options.
Pissero just isn't thinking right.

How many times did he play 3-4-3 in friendlies? I don’t know about this coach. This looks like desperation to me.

Why would you play a weak midfield in a match where we need it to be the strongest.
Pissero is just a daft fool. Just when you think he is on the right path, he turns around with this nonsense.
Seems to me he is just trying anything at this point to see what sticks.
A clueless clown.

...for goodness sake, why do you guys hang on formation?
who gives a flipping flop?
we have 11 players on the field, they all defend, and they all attack
and any of them can distribute the ball, and any can score.
Damn people, just beating about to critic the coach when the real culprits are starring y'all in eyes everyday.

Will you admit you’re not thinking right if it works?
