How would a Vic- Boniface attack work?

Both are No 9s but Boniface can play slightly wide but he’s not a 2 way wide player like Simon. How would it work? Do we go back to the 442 or 352? I think the presence of Boniface is going to alter the positional make up of the team significantly depending on how we line up. With a fragile MF, the width will likely have to come from the wingbacks unless we stick with 442.

A midfield of Iwobi-Onyedika-Nwakali OR Ibrahim Olawoyin behind a Vic/Boniface attack will be ideal for whatever formation and tactics we can use right now.
Ndidi and Onyeka are at best both destroyers who are extremely limited to impact the type of free flowing brand of football we need to bamboozle opposition teams.
Let nobody fool you that we don't have the midfielders, we just have the lazy and rigid coaches to actually explore our depth and play to the dynamics of our midfield personnel.

Bashiru plays in the same league as Olawoyin but he seems to be favored over olawoyin. I've only seen clips of Olawoyin but he looks to me like a decent player but the jury is out until he gets a chance. Also, Onyeka is a must in that mf or it'll be overan. Opponents won't cooperate with the bamboozle plan. You know African football better than that.

If we are going with a front two, I think I still prefer Osimhen and Lookman. However, if we are playing 3 upfront with just one CF, then I'll play Boniface on the left, and Oshimen as a CF.

Would Boniface be burdened with defensive responsibilities? If so, it won’t work.

We saw how the combo will work during the early stages of the WCQs against Lesotho and Zimbabwe

Boniface played several times on the left wing for Union St Gilloise. I think he can take some some defensive duties if he's played on the wing.

As long as -do-let understand that he’ll be playing a diff for SE and likely will not have the same results as he does at Bayer.
