Osimhen did not travel to Bouake and he is a doubt due to abdominal discomfort.

If Osimhen doesn't start I expect Onuachu to start given Peseiro's selections so far. Sigh!

overworked just as I said in the Angola game. Coach afraid to use the bench. Onuachu has not really been intergrated on game day that is....just brought in to 'kill the game'.
In fact there was one move that I thought Onauachu could have assisted a goal or even scored himself, but he ran straight to the flag. I know, I know...game management. But the point is, he has quite literally not come on in a traditional sense.
Lookman is a striker/winger/second striker. He can play any of those roles. So fortunately we can just shuffle him around.
I think the smart play would be to rely more on Lookman and just add someone else with chance creating ability. Maybe Iheanacho or Chukwueze. Iheanacho does not look like he is struggling for fitness anymore.
I don't know if Onuachu is a good idea against SA. Sounds iffy to me.

I do not think so.
I would expect Moffi or Kele to start if Osimhen is not available. More likely, it will be Moffi rather than Kele but as mentioned already Onuachu was used for specific tactical reasons.
Why Moffi ahead of Kele? Thus far in Peseiro's tenure, Moffi has been used in that Osimhen position than Kele.
However, we really need Osimhen in this game because his presence alone is sure to create panic for South African defenders. I hope he gets well as soon as possible even if it means that he does not start on Wednesday.

I suspect it’ll be Nacho and that that would work quite well.
Nothing spoil.

I expect Iheanacho to take up Osimhen position if Osimhen can't make it. I think Iheanacho is up to the task barring no injuries to him as well !!

I do not think Chuks will start except if Lookman goes top. LOL. Lookman up top will really be something to behold! I do not think so. Even Kele up top is pushing it. More likely Moffi or even Onuachu will be better than any of those two up top. Why have you pushed Simon ahead of Sanusi? Is that to make room for Samu by also moving Lookman? It won't happen, bet on it. There are better players to replace Sanysi if necessary including Bruno.EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 4:26 am Lineup with Vic.

Can Kelz press like Osimehn? Does he have Osimhen's pace? Tracking etc?? Mehn pls give Osihmen some Pepto Bismol or Mylanta and he will be fine. I want to see us spell those xenophobes with goals. The cannot get off easy.

I would lean towards Kele..big game player with pedigree. We would miss Vic’s pressing but Kele could connect nicely with Lookman, Iwobi etc . Maybe playing like a false 9
Re: Osimhen doubt for SA game

Perhaps, Kele may work strictly as a False 9 and by far he is the most clinical in front of goal among all Nigerian players, bar none. However, his weaknesses are legion. Those should not be ignored.

I'm sorry but if we need Osimehn to beat South Africa, then we are a pathetic team, and we deserve to go out.
We need to learn to win without Osimehn, he will not always be there.
He gets injured easily.
Start Moffi.
Bring on Nacho if goals are needed.
No shaking.

Una get eye self? Kele is too slow for this type of African Football going in Cote devoir.. Haba.. Can that man even fit hustle half of the way our boys deh hustle for ball? Make he siddon collect his money and medal if we win. If we have the midfield that will carry the ball to him standing in the Final 3rd. Then he is a wizard to finish...
