Preferred Line up Against Mali

[olu]

With Bassey and Onyeka also out, I'll go with the following lineup:

Formation: 3-5-2

Nwabali (GK)

Bruno (LCB)
Omeruo (CB)
Awazeim (RCB)

Yusuf (CM/DM)
Ndidi (CM/DM)
Dele- Bashiru (AM)
Simon (LWB)
Bright (RWB)

Sadiq (CF)
Lookman (CF)

[EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA]

I’d rest Ndidi for Onyedika, we need to see him play a full game.

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, ohenhen1 is from neptune.
So you believe Finidi will not go with the 352 system?
Whats is the point of rotating players, are they playing for a road side pick up game?
You dont think team cohesion and solidifying a system is important for the upcoming WC games?

I dont know why he is invited.
SE "chopping" 5 goals is not good for SE brand and psych.

He is not a 352 guy. Testing new formations.

[ohenhen1]

Got to rotate in fact I have changed my mind.

I would go with
Uzoho
Taminu, Omeruo, Ajayi, Onyemachi
Bashiru, Yusuf, Onyedika
Tella, Sadiq, moses

to start'
Osayi, Collins, Iwobi, Ndidi, Lookman will come in as subs in the 2nd half.

it is a friendly and the team played last Friday, that is about 4 days ago. The players are not robots. That is why you invite 26 players. Play them, rotate them.

Onyeka and Bassey already went back to their clubs due to injury. You want to cause more injuries? .

[Tobi17]

The likes of Yusuf, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru and Nathan Tella should definitely get run-outs, I want to see what a Iwobi-Ndidi and Yusuf midfield will look like.

[Dammy]

I’d like to see Onyedika get a proper run out to really see what he has to offer.
I’ve been impressed with his bit part roles recently

[Lolly]

With Bassey and Onyeka also out, I'll go with the following lineup:

Formation: 3-5-2

Nwabali (GK)

Bruno (LCB)
Omeruo (CB)
Awazeim (RCB)

Yusuf (CM/DM)
Ndidi (CM/DM)
Dele- Bashiru (AM)
Simon (LWB)
Bright (RWB)

Sadiq (CF)
Lookman (CF)

You will play Bruno instead of Ajayi at LCB? Why?

[1naija]

Why does Uzoho need to play? To see what he can offer?

Not sure Finidi would like to mess up his record with that decision..lol. Zero chance he takes that risk bcos if he does and loses, his chance of landing the job permanently would be gone with the winds.

Good point.
He’s auditioning and will therefore want to take minimal risks.

[olu]

Bruno can play LB, LCB, and LWB. He played as a LCB several times for his club last season. Playing him there also adds pace to the back line.

With Bassey and Onyeka also out, I'll go with the following lineup:

Formation: 3-5-2

Nwabali (GK)

Bruno (LCB)
Omeruo (CB)
Awazeim (RCB)

Goalgetter,

You have a point about Finidi not messing his record given that he is auditioning for a job.

However, we must begin to see these friendlies for what they are -- they are not competitive games. If SE must always play starters, then that begins to support the idea of not inviting all 23 or 25 players from FB players if just a few of them shall be played. I would then go with idea of inviting just 15 from FB and make up the rest with HB players or players from age-grade teams preparing for competition. That will be as better use of these camps.
