Geez! Even YOU have surely heard of the 5-3-2 formation…
The 2 WBs push up when in possession, and it morphs into a 3-5-2.
Meanwhile, you practice in friendly how you’d like to play in competitive games.
Draw up the 5-3-2 make I see am based on this lineup.
The FACT is we have 7 defensive minded players in the squad.

Looks like
Weird lineup. 7 defensively minded players to take on the mighty Mali. Finidi might actually be worse than JP. I cannot wait for a permanent coach to replace him.
Surely! It has to be simply a list and not how the team will actually lineup when it is all done.

Or some hybrid that will have Senior Man as a lone striker although Finidi has said in the past that he prefers playing with two strikers.

I see the Finidi is doing everything in the two games to free up Iwobi from defensive responsibilities so he can have freer role.

KPOM. For me, the anticipation is how Moses will perform. Iheanacho has not played in the role of most advanced guy since Rohr tried him there early but with little success. Perhaps, keeping the passes on the ground would help his case because he will not amount to anything with high balls coming towards him.
