Former Nigerian international, Emmanuel Emenike has advised Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr to play a 3-1-4-2 formation in their second Group D 2018 World Cup game against Iceland at the Volvograd Stadium on Friday.
Rohr deployed a 4-3-3 formation in their first match against Croatia on Saturday as the Eagles loss 2-0.
Emenike, who called it quits from international football in 2016, posted a picture of his preferred starting line-up for the Super Eagles on his Instagram page on Tuesday.
The former Fenerbahce star wants to see Ikechukwu Ezenwa in goal, Kenneth Omeruo at the left side of a back three with William Troost Ekong in the central position and Tyronne Ebuehi at the right side.
The 31-year-old would love to see either Oghenekaro Etebo or captain Mikel Obi play in the deep lying midfield role.
He wants the trio of Ahmed Musa, Alex Iwobi and Victor Moses to be joined by Joel Obi or Wilfred Ndidi in a four-man midfield to support Kelechi Iheanacho and Odion Ighalo in attack.
The Eagles are occupying the fourth position in Group D and must beat Iceland to stand a chance of advancing to the round of 16.
