Ifeoma Onumonu should replace Halimatu Ayinde because she is young, have an height that can assist defence in aerial balls,she can defend as well,well discipline and willing to learn.
She is one of the few utility player we have.
I always referring us to watch Nigeria Morocco match during Women World qualifiers .
Ifeoma onumonu is an attacker who hasn’t really impressed in the team, I don’t think she has the capability to feature in midfield. We have abiodun, Catherine, Payne and Jennifer in midfield now. Any more injuries and we might have an issue. But with gift Monday and ajibade we have players that can be drafted into the midfield. Catherine also doubles as a make shift centre back so let’s hope we don’t get anymore injuries bcos Ayinde is a big miss.
Brilliant analysis of the set up.. Any more injury and the midfield is super light. Would have loved Ngozi Okobi or Chikwelu given a look out.
