This midfield has nothing on the midfield that received Stephen Keshi the AFCON in 2013. That midfield comprised John Ogu, Ogenyi Onazi, Mikel John Obi, and Oghenekaro Etebo. I’ll always remember the formidable centre-backs we had in Kenneth Omeruo and Godfrey Oboabona. Good days.

Solely 5 midfielders when CAF permitted a 27 shortlist, each CAF crew launched their last record with 6 midfielders, so if (God forbid) a midfielder will get injured then what subsequent? After which now we have the felony invitation of Musa who performed completely no position within the AFCON qualifiers

Individuals questioning why there’s solely 5 midfielders don’t perceive trendy soccer. Not one of the groups you assist rely upon 4 ‘midfielders’ for a whole 90 minutes. 1 or 2. Max 3, in case your crew desires to park the bus. Standard ‘midfield’ is lifeless. Everybody is predicted to assault
