Osimhen ran too much alone - Finidi criticises Peseiro's AFCON tactics after Ghana win
Nigeria's Super Eagles legend Finidi George has offered a scathing critique of former manager Jose Peseiro's tactics at AFCON 2023.
Nathan Tella
The Bayer Leverkusen winger only recently switched his allegiance from England to Nigeria but was a surprising omission from the Super Eagles' AFCON 2023 squad.
The 24-year-old's pace, trickery and work rate could be a valuable asset out wide for Finid’s Eagles
)
At Leverkusen, Tella has proven to be a competent versatile player who has impressed as a deputy to Jeremie Frimpong at wingback. He could play that role in Finidi’s 3-5-2 shape.
Francis Uzoho
Once the undisputed No.1 in goal, Uzoho lost his place to Stanley Nwabali at the start of the ill-fated AFCON 2023 campaign.
)
Now, the 25-year-old, who is based in Cyprus, will be determined to wrestle back the gloves against the Chippa United shot-stopper.
Uzoho watched all the matches at the 2023 AFCON in Ivory Coast and a chance against Mali could give him another chance to show he still has it.
)
Raphael Onyedika
Arguably Nigeria's most consistent defensive midfielder in Europe for seasons now, Onyedika has been criminally underused by the Super Eagles thus far.
However, his impressive cameo against Ghana, where he started the move for Lookman's stunning goal, might signal a changing of the guard in that problematic position.
)
Finidi would be wise to call upon the talents of these three individuals against Mali and beyond, with Nigerians eager to see them in action again.
