Again if you must play 442 these are the players to do it.

I like how Chelle is playing Aina at leftback. I've wondered why other coaches never did this.

So far Chelle is a good coach based on these decisions.

442

My issue is the lack of wingers on the bench and being too open defensively.

For this formation to succeed, look for Lookman to drop back into midfield and have a free role, essentially as a #10 ar times.

It's a good lineup.

Ejuke should have been in thos squad in place of Sadiq or Tolu.

4 1 3 2?????

They'll probably play a 4-5-1 , aim to dominate the middle of the park and starve our forwards.

Its going to be a war, but I remain quietly confident that the boys will take the spoils 3-1 to the Eagles

why do you want a winger on the bench? do we get extra points for that?

You act like injuries don’t happen. What happens when it’s 0-0 late in the game and our players are tired? Who would you bring in?

Ndidi in midfield? There is no steel in that midfield snd its an African opponent? Ok o.

Is there a FIFA rule that says you are only permitted to bring in wingers from the bench?

Do you know that in football, some coaches play multiple formation in one match?

Do you know that in football, a coach can decide he doesnt want/need certain profile on the bench?

I was apprehensive before but this line up has made it worse. Rwanda dominated us in the midfield when we've played against them with 3 in the middle. Now we are going 2 in the middle with a very slow Ndidi. I wonder if Chelle watched the videos of our previous games against them.

Make I just enjoy match.

We effectively have 3 players who could play on the wing (lookman has done that many times with Atalanta), so the coach could also bring in Boniface or the new boy Arokodhare and hook out one of the wingers (probably Chukwueze who hasn't played 90 minutes for quite a while now).

I think he might play a 4 - 1 - 4 - 1 formation when going forward with Ndidi as the '1' and Moses - Iwobi - Lookman - Chukwueze behing Osimhen.

Defensively we would shift to a 4 - 5 - 1 with Iwobi moving alongside Ndidi and Lookman just ahead of them.

Lolly,

I feel the same way, including misgivings about the personnel. I was hoping for 3 center backs. However, I am not the manager nor have I watched the team train together. I was hoping for an entirely different set up.

You wonder if the new manager of a national team watched the previous games against the opponent he is going to face first??? Do you also wonder if the sun rises in the east and sets in the west?

Chelle was twiddling his thumb, while Lolly, a fan, was watching the past games. Our fans are both toxic and funny.

And they also think football is 2+2 = 4. Just because his team sheet is showing 2 CMs, does not mean the game plan is that way. Lets wait to see the game plan unfold first and we will see/know who will dominate the midfield.

I have lost hope based on the lineup.
0-0 or 1-1 at best.
Let's look forward to 2030.
