on the bench for AC Milan for the uefa europa league match :thumbs:

He was on the bench this past weekend as well.

We need to look forward.

We need to build our midfield.

VE,

Which top 5 NEW midfielders do you think we should integrate into the SE going forward? I believe Iwobi, Onyeka, and Ndidi are the first team midfield foundation we have right now.

We need to start integrating the likes of Eletu, Akinsanrinmo, and Fredrick into the SE.

Iwobi, Oyneka, Ndidi are the core

We need to drop Aribo

Yusuf has gone down in value after the afcon though he should still be somewhat in the mix

Onyedika should make way for now although he remains our one true DM.

Ready for callup in March

Fisayo Dele Bashiru - we need an understudy for Iwobi
Nwobodo - we need to see what he offers
Nwakali - we need passers and creative midst

In the mix

Iffeani Matthew
Olawuyin

Keep a close eye on

Victor Eletu
Ebenezer Akansanmiro
Tok Nmandi

When these guys start playing they should be called. Perhaps even before then.

If they declare

Folorunsho
Tim Ireogubam
Noni Madueke
Carney Chukwuemeka
Lesley Ugochukwu

Friendlies are meant to test new players. I won't invite any of the Afcon mf for the next friendly. Lets test new players.

That is just dumb.

You have to have some continuity.

That's how you build a team.

No country on this earth will just drop their entire team to play a friendly in a FIFA window.

I would call Iwobi, Onyeka, Ndidi and call up the rest new midfielders.

So another 3 midfielders.

There must be 6 midfielders every callup.

Continuity of bad play is bad play. When are you ever going to test new players. Remember Nwabili debut against Mexico.

There is nothing wrong with testing new players.

I am a complete advocate for that.

But it must be done in tandem with keeping a semblance of continuity.

The new players must be blended in with the old.

For instance I suggest we keep the core for continuity.

Iwobi, Ndidi, Onyeka

Then add any 3 midfielders of the following

Nwakali
Folorunsho
Eletu
Akansanmiro
Fisayo Bashiru
Nwobodo

That is how you properly build a team.

Akinsanmiro has also been on Inter's bench for 2 of the last 3 matches, including their last match vs Roma.

Both these players also made the bench for a few matches last season as well.

If they are good enough for the bench of these teams they should be ripe for a SE callup, at least for friendlies to see how they integrate with the team.

Eletu and Akinsanimiro must be in the SE squad for Morocco 2025 and should be called up prior.

I was eagerly anticipating Eletu's debut today. He displayed some seriousness and focus during the halftime warm-up session alongside established players like Chukwueze and Loftus-Cheek. I also noticed the camera lingering on him for some time. However, as AC Milan fell behind towards the end of the game, I knew he wouldn't get his chance today.

Think for a minute what you wrote. It makes little sense. No one building a team can jettison everyone and try all new players. No way! Even the example of Nwabali that you provided saw him play with guys already established on the team.

There should be new lads introduced to the team. For me, however, I look forward to seeing strengthening of playing strategy and somewhat thinking of waydms to convincingly integrate Boniface into the core team. He seems at sea thus far.
The difficulties of statistical thinking describes a puzzling limitation of our mind: our excessive confidence in what we believe we know, and our apparent inability to acknowledge the full extent of our ignorance and the uncertainty of the world we live in. We are prone to overestimate how much we understand about the world and to underestimate the role of chance in events -- Daniel Kahneman (2011), Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics
