I am supposed to be asking you whether you watched the game. We lost drew that game because our strikers did not take their chances. We held the ball better and created more chances.

Whobedatte:
if a team has 5 chances lost all, and team B has 1 chance and converted. Pls which team is more efficient? Or delivers? That's simple logic. It's not abt creating loads of chances but utilising them. That's what makes u a good coach or a good team

eleko1:
Isn't the same Taribo dat told us that Keshi and his boys are good?Why did he resort to selective blame/single out 3 playas out 11?

thegoodjoehunt3:
That is why a tournament and leagues are decided by many matches and no one game. You can win a game by luck and not a tournament.

By the way, not all defeats by smalls sides against big sides are luck. Just like Sunderland's defeat of Chelsea last season.

Nigeria did not win won game but played many matches to the finals. By the final game, most Nigerians were confident we will win because of the kind of performance we exhibited in the tournament. Not favor.

silvermania:
guy rest get this hard truth we don't have a senior footballing team yet
.did we performed like Algerians at d world cup?. Algeria has a team and we dont for now.

thegoodjoehunt3:
Who says we have a team? We do not. We are building. Under Coach Clemens Westerhof, our local leagues were better. Yet, it took Coach Clemens Westerhof five years to build a strong team to win the AFCON.

I am saying that the AFCON was not a fluke like an opposing team scoring an own goal or the Gerard slip last season in the Chelsea vs Liverpool game last season. It took hard work and brilliant tactical input.

silvermania:
leme ask u dz then. if it wasn't a fluke y is that after that last final match we lost it.why could we not maintain DAT tecnicability u talking about?

“I don’t think Yobo has reached his peak. So, why has he been left out? I can’t compare the current players with him, at least we watch him play in Europe. He can still play at this level for up to six years."........Taribo West.

http://www.punchng.com/sports/yobo-deserves-100-caps-taribo-tells-keshi/

This is coming from Pastor Taribo West Who criticized Coach Keshi regularly for dropping Yobo. Pastor Taribo West should let people know that Coach Keshi was ordered by members of the NFF to reduce the number of home based players and this caused a drop in form and hunger of the team.

tuffgongjo:
Many factors make Clemens' era different from Keshi's.
Clemens wasn't so arrogant,he hardly let his personal aim/beef with player cost the nation.
Keshi winning the Afcon was no Fluke but it was more to the Players uplifting their individual games to the peak than the coach's Tactics.

pls don't alwys comments if u don't ve reasonable tin 2 say.

taribo was responding 2 questions frm a media correspondent & u re here asking stupid Question

if doesn't comments on football matter in Nigeria who should

thegoodjoehunt3:
Coach Westerhof was more arrogant than Coach Keshi. He fell out with the NFA then and went to the Vice President to back him to work without the guidance or Support of the NFA.

Coach Westerhof dropped a lot of great stars like Etim Esin, Friday Ekpo etc. He dropped a regular English playing Superstar (Efan Ekoku) for Yekini.

Coach Keshi is learning work in arrogance.

As for raising up game, without tactics, it is difficult to topple a top side. Just like a ship without a Captain.

tuffgongjo:
And did yekini not prove his move right,you always try defending Keshi(which is impossible as of now)which to me is like trying to "grasp the wind".Your loyalty to him seems to make you turn blind eyes to the fact that retaining him isn't the best solution.
Lastly,don't compare him to Del bosque next time.
If Sia one wasn't sacked we won't have won the Afcon,and that is a fact.
Keshi is(has)over-staying welcome just like Le prof.
Thank you.

As at the time of USA 94 Taribo West was no where near the senior national team. He had earlier got knocked out in the group stage of the 1993 African Under 21 championship so we didn't even qualify for U20 Word Cup in 1993.

In '94 our first choice back 4 when all fit was Eguavon (RB) Keshi (CB) Okechukwu (CB) Iroha (CB) with Oliseh in front of them as DM.

The likes of Nwanu,Okafor,Emenalo provided competition to the above.....those were the days we played and watched the beautiful game without fear.

back to the topic. Taribo is right in saying success got into keshi's head but wrong to insist a solution to our defensive offering was readily available in the league.
