Why look for trouble? Did you get permission before opening a game thread????

prediction

1:2

[waka-man]

Iwobi is gonna have to work his cotton socks off. But this is the line up most Nigerian want to see. It won’t win you the Afcon but it’ll be exciting to watch.

Yea, but he always does. Ndidi will be thankful that he is there instead of someone else that drifts unconscionably forward all the time.

[ANC]

Lookman has a high work rate too. Ajayi is the weaker link

[waka-man]

Really amazing how Ajayi has taken pole position as Bassey’s partner.

[Enugu II]

Lookman has a high work rate too. Ajayi is the weaker link

We all think that he is. .....However, in an SE shirt he is by some distance the most assured Center back in SE games thus far. Ask yourself, who has been more consistent in an SE shirt? that should tell you something about the state of Nigeria's center defense.

[EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA]

Isn't this the same 424 we used to yab Siasia for? It makes no sense.
I'd bench Lookman and start a MF.

[Scipio Africanus]

Saudi go chop koboko today. I see a 3-0 or 4-1 for the SE.

It’s 4-2-4 but here’s the real problem… It’s gonna work today. And then we’ll all hail the mighty Peseiro. But it’s not gonna work at Afcon. No way.

Today, I think the firepower will attract too much respect from Mancini and the Saudi’s and they’ll probably get over-run. But we ain’t gonna be over-running Afcon teams.

If we want to get Osimhen and Boniface in the same side, we’re gonna have to get more men in the middle even if that means sacrificing some attacking width.

[joao]

What time is the match please.
And who carrying the international broadcast?

In 23mins no matter where you are, my time doesn’t matter.

It’s CE. They never learn anything. The same people praising 424 will be the same calling for a new coach before Afcon ends.

They are decent. But that’s a lot of firepower to content with. It’ll be a lot to handle. My suspicion is they’ll have more possession, but won’t cope with the power.

two things, what am I missing, how did you all come up with 4-2-4, I see more like 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 based on the list of players.
Secondly, what do you specifically have against Lookman?
Lookman is legit, good work rate, solid dribbling skill and can score goals.

[Lolly]

Looks like Lookman has taken Simon's place in the starting lineup. Lets see how he performs today.

Man dey look for link una dey hia dey tok formation for match wet you no see

[Scipio Africanus]

Looks like an all-Brazilian officiating crew.
