Keshi's favourite formations are 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 with the likes of Moses, Musa, Babatunde and Osaze playing behind the lone striker, Emenike. You accuse Keshi of going to do business like you were the one managing the deals. So, tell me, how many of the players Keshi went to sell have changed clubs yet?

You need to stop watching the Super Eagles with emotions and sentiments and face reality. The best we can get with the coach and players we have is what we got. Yes, Keshi is not the best tactician in the world, but our players are also not among the best in the world, save maybe for Enyeama. So, what were you expecting? To win the World Cup?

I knew before we kicked a ball at the World Cup that the best we would get is 2nd round. Anything after that is a bonus. Which is why I'm not bitter with Keshi, nor the players. You can't give what you don't have. Nigeria is not a super power in World football at senior level period.

Until we can hire the best world-class coaches in the world and have players playing for the top teams in the big leagues and not Turkey, Ukraine and Russia, this is what we will get. Tone down your over-bloated expectations. Keshi has done well by African standards.

15 players in football?

1-1-3-3-3-3-1 formation?

He didnt just made u turn it is because S A had already appointed their new coach.

Haba, not you too Mikeansy? Quoting a comment without knowing the line of discussion. Smh.

Yea. Keshi made a "u turn" becos south africa. Has already appointed a coach to train. Smart man. No hope in south africa.

south africa dumped his ass, after his clueless performance at d world cup wit the super eagles, well lets give him another chance after all he has achieved (by luck)what many so called foreign coaches could not achieve with d eagles. #bringbackikeuche#

vicky85:

Who told you South Africa dumped him. Was there any pronouncement that he is going to South Africa? Don't believe what you read on internet.

Pls be informed Keshi gave an interviee that he has offers from south africa before the world cup


South africa fa board quickly responded that they ve not spoken to any coach or offered any1 any job

Keshi mouth na him kill am

Keshi should rather coach the womens team.

DrTee1: You've got to give Stephen Keshi all the credit he duly deserves!

He's the best football manager we've had in a while - and at the level he currently is - having almost attained the heights that Clemens Westerhof reached - the only difference being that Clemens' team came fouth at the King Fahd tournament, now Confederations Cup in 1995.

I think NFF should put their house together, give us some good organisation and good continuity. We certainly deserve to be treated right.

All those blaming Keshi should remember that the guy has a family: mouths to feed, bills to settle (in America of all places!), friends as well as extended family to attend to. This is his only job!

You all know his expenses are more likely to be greater than that of the average Nigerian. So if he can't take the his opportunities to negotiate for better treatment, who would

This is a country where if you don't ask for your rights - and aggressively sometimes - it would be trampled on brazenly.

Let's cut Stephen K some slack. The Big Boss has done well and he deserves to be treated well!

Go on Stephen Keshi, we love you Sir!

You made your points in the first 3 paragraphs.But to say that "he's got mouth to feed &this to be his only job" is absurd,you, how many jobs have you??havnt you got mouth to feed too? If he wants he should surround himself with sycophants na.

bc s.a has appointed new coach abi? now he has no option of the anticipated job he used to brag with.it was all his fault why s.a appointed a new man bc he is always treating Nigeria with his anticipated job with s.a

Vr 9z

Good

@bolded: You are so ignorant. I'm obviously talking to a kid. Google is your friend you know. Just google football and sweeper together.

Also there is a difference between a full back and a wing back. But what do you know. Yet folks like you will come and say Keshi is tactically inept.

guy, football is diff 4rm soccer if u dunno. Sweeper in soccer? May be in d 1960s o, bt nowadays dere's nothing lyk sweeper in d game of soccer. LFB= left full back, RFB= right full back. Dat was a mistake.

Bro, you are still messing up again. Football is different from soccer? Last I checked we have FIFA not FISA. Or did I mention NFL in my post? Do you know that Manuel Neuer at the last World Cup was being cautioned by analysts for playing the role of a sweeper for Germany even though he was a goalie? Have you heard the term "libero" before? Yes, the role of the sweeper is not as prominent today as before, but some teams still use a sweeper.

Since you are too lazy to use Google, let me help you.

The sweeper is a defensive position in football, so called because their job is to 'sweep up' the ball before it can go into the goal. It was most commonly used by football teams in Europe until the 1990s. While the position usually has solely defensive duties, Franz Beckenbauer, the most famous sweeper, became famous for adding an offensive component to the role. Other notable sweepers include Gaetano Scirea, Bobby Moore, Franco Baresi and Elias Figueroa.

It is generally considered a highly specialised position. The sweeper is usually placed between the goalkeeper and the defensive line.

The sweeper is sometimes also called 'libero' from the Italian word for 'free'. A recent and successful use of the sweeper was made by Otto Rehhagel, Greece's manager, in the 2004 European Championship. Rehhagel utilized Traianos Dellas as Greece's sweeper to great success, as Greece surprisingly became European champions.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweeper_(association_football)

And by the way, you made no mistake. You just don't know the difference between a fullback and a wing back.

The full-backs take up the holding wide positions and traditionally stayed in defence at all times, until a set-piece. Modern full-backs take a more attacking role, overlapping with wingers down the flank. There is one full-back on each side of the field except in defences with fewer than four players, where there may be no full-backs and instead only centre backs.

The wing-back is a modern variation on the full-back with heavier emphasis on attack. The name is a portmanteau of "winger" and "full-back". They are usually employed in a 3-5-2 formation, and could therefore be considered part of the midfield, although they may also be used in a 5–3–2 formation, in which they would have a more defensive role.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defender_(association_football)

Please check the diagram below to understand better.

Now, I say again, simply thank me for schooling you in football. Your knowledge of the beautiful game is obviously limited. Heck, you don't even know if I have a coaching certificate from FIFA and you are here arguing on a faceless forum.

pple lyk u can neva learn, until u go outside and fumble. Sweeper as a position in football isn't a technical name bt a position invented by sum defenders, in all d lessons I've taken in football in my lyf I've neva heard of a sweeper. It's jst lyk using a 1970 Biology textbook and using it 2 argue with sum1 who has d latest edition. Did u knw dat in 1978 world cup dere ws nothing lyk back pass? D goalkeeper is allowed 2 catch a ball deliberately passed 2 him by his teammate without being penalized, bt it's no more in use. What year do u think d "offside" rule ws introduced? Pls try and ask 'ur google' and check d possibility of using a 'sweeper' in d game of footbal. There might be sumthing lyk a "sweeper" in d football of d past bt football of nowadays, dere is nothing lyk dat.
I'm stl standing on my point, ask ur google again if football is diff 4rm soccer or not.
And in d diagram u illustrated, how many players do u av on dat field?
U claim 2 av a FIFA coaching licence and u stl argue dis way, brother, u're sumthing else. An empty barrel makes d loudest noise truly.

You case is beyond remedy. Does the diagram point out number of players or positions on the field? Is 2004 when Greece used a sweeper the stone age? @bolded: Did someone not invent "tiki taka", 'total football", formations like 4-4-2, 4-2-3-1, 3-5-2 and so on? Or did they fall from the sky? You need to go and take your lessons in football again. Or was it you local academy coach that taught you the nonsense you know?


By the way, I like how you stylishly avoided commenting on your "mistake" about the full back and wing backs. Or that one too is 1960 "soccer".

Oh, and this is what Google has to say about football and soccer.

Association football, more commonly known as football or soccer, is a sport played between two teams of eleven players with a spherical ball. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_football

Now how does "or" translate to being different? Or do I have to school you in grammar too?

I'm done with you bruv. Continue to live in you bubble. If you still want to take me up on this open a different thread and let Nairalanders tell us who is right or wrong.
