A much better lineup than the other day.
I question Onyekas fitness, Onyedika and Yusuf both did well the other day, I would have gone with either one.
Also I don't know about dropping Fisayo, but if we don't have the lead by halftime he needs to come in at THE BEGINNING of the second half.
Also I just don't know what Sodiq is in the squad for if he cannot be preferred to play his natural position over a centreback.

Good lineup on paper. Hope Onyeka is fit though. I would have started Alhassan.
And what happens when Chukwueze becomes tired, which would happen.
Moffi now has a chance to prove his doubters wrong and that includes me.

Kai! Even when you're trying to be positive, you still find something negative.
Good luck to the team. I wish the whole team success today. I am behind them.

How am I trying to be negative ?
These are all legitimate concerns while at the very least happy the lineup is MUCH better than the other day.

That back 4, if they line up the same way and play the same was as Friday, they’ll DEFINITELY struggle again.
Ndidi and Onyeka are not good at finding space and playing the vertical pass. It’s not their strength. Expect to see Iwobi dropping deep and that’s not a good thing.
Lookman and Samu operate best as inside forwards. Please please don’t stick them out wide.
100% with the Moffi decision! Good call.
Good luck SE!

As expected, didn't expect wholesale changes. They didn't have enough practice time. I am surprised Boniface is not starting. The rumors that he is not fully fit might be true. That is the only logical explanation.

Samu and Lookman will go wide and also play as inverted forwards.
The injuries hurt us in defense. They are doing the best they can with the players they have available. I am not surprised that they didn't make any changes in the defense. They are just going to watch film and indentify the problem areas. No time to make wholesale changes.

Going to be a difficult game. Even tougher test than SA. I see a 3-2 win for Nigeria. It is a local derby. Derbies are tough. Won't be a cakewalk.

Can you imagine, which means we might surrender the playing to Benin and just resort to defending. The SE have really turned to defensive team. Still waiting for ball handlers to start on this team so we can move forward from this defensive play in an attacking lineup. All the best SE, a win is still a win

Not fully fit.
Then why invite him - wasting a space that another player, who would have been effective and helpful - would have provided help?

Ugbowo,
If you do not play them wide, who will play wide? They all cannot be grounded into the middle. I agree with Lookman playing in the middle but what options are there to stick Samu there? Moffi is also there. Just noticed that Onyedika, not Onyeka, is listed. Lets see how that pans out but I prefer a ball winner at Onyedika's spot but he gets an opportunity today.

Stop hounding him. He wasn't negative. Nothing wrong with his post.
