wacuc0: Gentlemen, can you remember the last time Martins played for Nigeria at the Calabar Stadium? He was tied, too slow and people were shouting to remove him. That he is scoring in USA does not make him good enough to play for Super Eagles. The same way Thiery Henry can not be called to France National Team. For Ihenacho, calling him now might spoil the show. You can not gamble with a young player's future. Keshi is a professional and he knows this. Since he has not established himself (Iheanacho) yet in his (Man City) team as a senior player, any poor performance in the national team will ruin his career. All of us will now shout, why did Keshi used him. Everything has its time. Just wait a little his time will come.

People are shouting Keshi is working with luck. Good enough, without lucky on your side you can never make a progress no matter how good you are. This luck is sometimes called GRACE. People bear child and give them names like LUCKY not HARDWORK. But only luck can not win the game, Keshi- He did it as a player in NNB and as SE captian, He did it in Benlgium, He did it in France, He did it as an aisstant coach to Amodu, he did it in Togo and he did it in Mali also has done it in Nigeria. This luck must be too much for one man. Why not support him with his luck.

litetias: I agree with the gaffer on the issue of Iheanacho not being ready to play for the national team. I have never seen a situation where a player who has barely proven himself at professional club level would start representing his national team. The normal trend is play well consistently for your club for at least one full season by which time the national team coach must have analysed your strengths and your weaknesses and then you 'EARN' a call-up to play for the national team where the coach already knows how to fit you into his team. Anyone calling for his inclusion based on his performances at an age competition and a couple of preseason matches barely knows football and should shut the fuc*k up. Having said that, his position on Martins is indefensible. Probably Keshi is one of those many people who believe that Martins real age is somewhere in the late thirties.

jomoh: Lily4star where are u o please come and help me interpret what this drunk of a coach is saying cos I don't understand o.

Is Martins older than Ameobi or aw many of the bench warming players he has is a regular starter in their respective clubs for him to say nacho hasn't gained a first team jersey.

mpowa:

Does Age stop a person from playing? If he's scoring regularly in his club, he deserves a call up, the ones who're younger nkor what have they done? how old was Roger Milla before he retired?

mpowa:

The one wey come dey give us results nkor, wetin we they play, I'd rather watch the paint dry than watch super eagles matches, the man isn't building a strong squad for Nigeria, he's only after results and the results self no come again, what's happening to TB Joshua this days.

litetias:
He's scoring in a league where players go to 'die'.

Chanchit: Hediot.. Martins is too old, Iheanacho is too young. Martins and those home based players weh don pause their age go dey same age I sure...

petezenith: I begin to wonder if this man knows what he is doing with this continuous refusal to invite our best players to don the colours of the national team. Last time I checked, mikel has been a bench warmer at chelsea. If keshi says Iheanacho has not broken into the first team of man city how bout mikel that has become a liability at his club and posts poor performances for the national team. If martins will be excluded for the national team cos of age why was a player like Ameobi that is old and not regular for club included at the world cup? We need to ask keshi wat his criteria is for a player being called into d national team. Our best legs are not in the super eagles. He says 'martins shud give the younger players a chance to display their talents' who are these younger players if not Iheanacho mr keshi? Emenike? or Igeibor? Its high time we get a competent coach for the eagles.

Lily4star:

Lol, Goodmorning Deary, I saw the topic initially but just didn't want to comment cos I hate repeating thesame thing over again.

Who's better between Martins and Amoebi?, he is the Coach, the Boss, we know we can't tell him what to do but the least he could do is listen to the opinion from the public, and select the reasonable ones, we re not saying Nacho should just magically take over Mikel, its not done that way, but just give the young man a slot and see what he has to offer as well as a host of other young players.

Seriously we re not talking about the Eagles of now, we want to ve a team for the future, in the next world cup year what ll the SE team look like?, will it be a team other teams would get frightened of?, or we ll just keep being mere participants in tournaments instead of making a remarkable impact.

Now he is making it obvious he is full of pride. Keshi is not that Coach that ll give us what we need, his team lacks tact, agility, no style of play, terrible with set-pieces, porous midfield, poor defence, and the annoying thing he isn't even doing anything about it.

Yet instead of taking the blame for hi poor performance after a match, he always gets to look for who to heep the blame on. What kind of a Coach does that?.

Abeg I no want dey talk about anything concerning Keshi and Mikel again.

Nacho not breaking into the Man City first 11 isn't cos the lad aint good enough,

Pellgrini said and I quote

"The lad is very good, in training he is dangerous around the box, give him 5 chances and he ll convert 3"

He is the boss make em enjoy em stay while it last.

Chanchit: Hediot.. Martins is too old, Iheanacho is too young. Martins and those home based players weh don pause their age go dey same age I sure...

So who wuld do beta?....u hav quickly 4gotten our years in d wilderneSs b4 sudden rise....keshi did all dat...we won d last nations cup, got to rnd of 16 of d world cup..we haven't had any greater feet dan dis in our history....let him continue as he has started...ihenacho wuld go to d next world cup, 4get d old fools dat had dr chances wit d team n mis used it.....mikel was exceptionally our pivot durin d nations cup, u can't throw all dat away in just a year ...if keshi records any sign of immense failure, den talk abt a change

jomoh:

If I can like this comment a thousand and one times I would.

Perfectly analysed. I have nothing to say again. I think I will also follow suit on your Mikel and Keshi stance. I will even take it further to my previous stance which was to hibernate my mind from thinking anything SE. Let me go back to my beloved La Liga.

Thank you and wonderful morning to u too babe. Hope you're having a great day.

seunlayi: I have been a fan of keshi since his days at NNB of Benin in the early eighties but with the way things are now, I can boldly tell you that something is definitely wrong in his upstairs. I don't need to say much

mobuch:

Epileptic fool; spreading epilepsy since 1900

TeamSimple: Keshi,end time coach.

Suljosh: can the NFF sack the bas-tard coach already? I don't like keshi, he's too pompous.

Lily4star:

I am, thank you, just Man United breaking my heart, since on sunday the left side of my chest has been paining me , beg LVG for me ooo, hope you re good too?

papaejima2: [b][/b]So because he won AFCON, he can coach for as long as he wants even though he clearly has taken Nigeria to the farthest he can? Just One win in the last eleven matches and this man is still keeping his job? One win in Eleven Matches?
