The Al-Tai star should, therefore, be part of the starting XI.

Backpagepix.The coach should consider starting him as a chance to redeem himself after the penalty shootout mishap against Egypt. Anguissa, 26, has been a dominant figure in Cameroon's midfield and, given the need to dominate and frustrate Burkina Faso on Saturday, he should be drafted into the first XI.

He has exemplary led as a captain and he would surely be needed to be on the pitch as Cameroon play their last match at home.
