Nothing spoil.
When last did Nacho wafers play a game?

You guys are looking for someone that we will have to sub after 30 minutes right? :lol: :lol:

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.

You’d have to believe Lookman is so much better front man than all the strikers on the bench that you’re also ready to sacrifice his mastery of the withdrawn and having Samu play that instead.

TBH, I think the truth is this would work:

————- Nacho ————
-Lookman ——Simon-

Just replace him with Moffi. It will make the task a bit more difficult but it is what it is.

I agree that Lookman will be wasted up front, and Chuks isn't up to par.

But no way will I start Nacho.

I'll go with Moffi, Lookman, Simon.

Kels comes in late if we still need goals.

Onuachu if we need .......

Without Osimhen, SE chances drop significantly. He brings something non-tangible to the team - not measured by goals or statisics!
The impression I got from other thread here is his job is to score and he is failing at that and he doesn't know how to time his runs.

I have started fasting and prayers hoping he makes it.

that would make zero sense with the current style of play.

But hey...he is the coach.

the one they did in Dubai?
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: That same Dubai! So it’s no longer a shopping expedition but a proper prep camp! Twerking all over the forum with arrogant ignorance!
See how some ignorant people who arrogate all knowledge to themselves are flip flopping like fish out of water!
We will revisit the Dubai camp after AFCON and I hope someone is big enough to humble himself, which I doubt anyway
I am happy

This would be my preferred selection. Lookman can hustle and can score goals. Then we can bring Kelechi on for Chukwueze mid second half if we are trailing or it’s level. And then move him to the number 9 position and move Lookman back to the position he has been playing.

Most people thought it made no sense so why use one or two outliers to make your point.

I don't know why you guys are so against Onuachu, he isn't all that bad and can do a job. Hoping Osimhen can still play. He will probably shake off the bug soon. Even a half fit Vic is the better option.

He is not a bad striker and many AFCON teams would take him in a heartbeat. But I think the perception is that there are others ahead of him.

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...
Kele has scored more goals (probably) on African soil than any active SE player. I don't share your view at all on Kele and African football. I need goals over speed.

Do you know the position Lookman plays for Atalanta? I dont think any of you have watched him in Serie A. If you did, you will know the position he plays for 38 league games + cup + Europe.

I ask you again, when last did Iheanacho play a game? Are you willing to risk making a substitution in the 30th minute of a Semi FInals game under the horrid heat? Do you think this is play station? Do you realize that your coach took injured and unfit players to this tournament, who can now not participate? :lol:

Another person who has not watched Lookman at Atalanta. Someone will be wasted in the position he plays for more than 38 games every year. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Bret-hart,

Certainly to you, our man, Osimhen, must play; so he must be patched up if such is what it will take. Well, let's consider safety/health as well, bro.

We [all Nigerians] agree, or know so, but in Osimhen's absence, what do we do, or who replaces him is the kwesion

He doesn't play to the strengths of our team.

So why keep putting a square peg into round holes.
