I feel that the manager would be aggressive and will seek to dictate the pace while dominating the midfield. My view is that he will use 3 CDs, 5 midfielders [2 of those will be defensive types] and two forwards.

No way he starts 3 CDs. He only has 3 CDs in his final 23. He essentially told us he is not playing 3-4-3 or 3-5-2 by inviting only 3 CDs

It is clear he intends to play 442 given his choice of 4 wingers and 4 strikers in the squad.

442 has never worked with SE in recent history.

We are going backwards.

Respectfully, don't you think it's the coach's job? Besides, you aren't privy to the training sessions so how can you know what the starting 11 is?

It might even be 424 Iwobi and Ndidi in MF.

We have tried this combo severally, with nothing achieved. It will only end up giving us same old results.

With only 3 CDs in camp? That won’t be a wise move.

I agree, he might want to play Moses and Lookman together. We created problems at the ANC when both were on the field.
Without Moses, we have Zero crossers of the ball. Lookman doesn’t cross neither does Tella, that’s zero supply to Osimhen from the air.

I hope he tweaks the midfield a bit and put Iwobi out on the right and use trio of Onyedika, Alhassan and Ndidi in midfield. Iwobi and Alhassan are interchangeable cos Alhassan tends to cover grounds more than Ndidi and Onyedika. We shall see come game day

I actually prefer your lineup cause it gives us more possession. Based on how many midfielders he invited versus attackers I can’t see him starting 4 out of 6 that were listed as midfielders while starting 2 out of 8 listed as attackers

The Rwandans are playing at home and are also very good in the air. Thus, this is my thinking -

Defending

-------------------------------------------------Nwabali-----------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------Ekong---------------------------------------Ogbu--------------------------------------

---Aina---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Bassey--------------------

-------------------------------------Ndidi--------------------Onyedika--------------------------------------------

--------------Iwobi------------------------------------------------------------------Lookman---------------------

--------------------------------------------------Boniface----------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------Osimhen-----------------------------------------------------------


Attackin:


-------------------------------------------------Nwabali-----------------------------------------------------------

------------------Ekong--------------------------Ogbu------------------------Bassey----------------------------

--------------------------------------------------Onyedika-------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------Ndidi--------------------Iwobi-----------------------------------------------

------Aina-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Lookman------------------

---------------------------Boniface---------------------Osimhen--------------------------------------------------

So your answer to a big physical team that's good in the air is to play 2 No 9s?

Yes.

On the defensive phase, my answer is to play Ogbu in CB and Bassey at LB/LCB. Then two big and tall no. 9s will help with (1) set piece defending and (2) set piece attacking.
