I do not think Coach Keshi should sign a new contract with the NFF. What I liked most about Coach Keshi's reign was him being able to pick players he liked. Remember the kick against Aaron Samuel. One of the things that made us have a trophy drought with the Super Eagles (Note Olympics is not a trophy) was the NFF dictating the players the coach must use.

Remember Bora built a team of mostly home based boys that were led by Samson Siasia. The team won the friendly Carlsberg Cup in 1998. That team was broken down by the NFF to field their player. Siasia who did well in the friendlies was dropped for Yekini.

The technical committee of the NFF brings back the NFF list and puts the Coach whether Coach Keshi or any other out of Control. I hope Coach Keshi does not sign the deal and let the technical committee coach.

As usual bro. Celebrating mediocrity and sub-standardness.

Thank God you are not at the helm of top affairs at the NFF or you could turn Nigerian football in to an eye-saw mediocre show of shame by giving coaches like Keshi thumbs up to select players wrongly.



@ topic

Keshi should forget the Nigerian job and look elsewhere. He made terrible errors that ruined our football and he obviously does not learn. We are happy we won the 2013 cup with him but that should not be a ransom with which he would hold us down while continually performing below par.

It is easy to stand up and point your fingers at someone and call him sub standard. However, unlike your ideology, Coach Keshi actually made a lot of right choices when it comes to player selection. For instance, he made Moses a regular star of our team. He gave Sone Aluko the chance to break through into the team. Emenike became a force under him. Oshaniwa was a revelation. Michael Babatunde surprised many including me at the World Cup. He gave Oboabona and Omeruo their breaks. His addition of Aaron Samuel to the team was criticised by many but he turned out to be a brilliant finisher.

Coach Keshi is not as bad as you guys make him. He was actually a man who brought change, development and competitiveness to our team. If you think someone like me who can see how difficult it was to change a team who could not qualify for the Nations Cup to Champions, will not recognize his effort, then you do not know me.

How many coaches will coach our national team without a contract. He had no job and worked without a contract. Yet you guys wanted to him out when we did not qualify.

thegoodjoehunt3:
The second phase of our qualifiers showed Coach Keshi had a lot to offer. We beat Sudan, Congo and drew with the group leaders South Africa. That is seven points from nine. He did not just drag our football back as people like you make him out to be.

I watched the game against Sudan live at the Abuja stadium. I was happy we won but not impressed. The team was mediocre.

We were lucky the ref gave us that long an extra time in the game against south africa. Otherwise, we lost.

Keshi had no business losing to Sudan in Sudan. The team was mediocre.

Watch Manu Garba's play and understand 2 things.

1. Right players

2. Right tactics.

Yes Aaron samuel scored, where is he today? Where is Mba today? Did you watch the much praised Ghanaian third division player Kwesi Appiah crumble against CIV?

Its only a matter of time before some junk players (apologies) drop back the form. Some will not perform when the game is raised to another level above them. They drop. So you may experiment with them but 1 or 2 of the outstanding ones are enough to make the team for a competition. (Keshi fills his team up with them).

And when they drop form, you simply drop them ( Keshi would rather stick with Reuben, Agbim etc despite the odds)

Its not rocket science, things dont work that way. Its only a matter of time before the team begins to spiral down. Even the few professionals in the team fill the weight when you surround them with junks.

My point: Keshi is mediocre when it comes to 2 things.
1. players selection
2. Technicality.

Generals02:



What ruined our world cup chance?

Onazi got injured and had no replacement. What was Reuben (unfit and without a club) doing at the world cup? What were agbim, Uchebo etc doing at the world cup? what value did they add to the team?

My point: Junk players (Apologies) are meant for experimentations to select the outstanding ones amongst them. No sensible coach takes a bunch of them to a competition.
Keshi never learns. He did the same thing at the confeds cup and got burnt. Same way Brazil got burnt when Neymar was injured. Coach filled the team with junks like fred and co.



Competitiveness?
He did not bring any competition to the team. Some people were constant starters despite pooor performance. keshi only rings changes when he has got himself in a tight corner.

thegoodjoehunt3:
Which players do you have that the Coach should call? Even the Uche he called could not finish one on one chances against South Africa. He only scored a penalty why Aaron Samuel scored two goals in three games despite not starting.

We do not have the talents. Facts. It took long before we started building and following our building. You can not blame Coach Keshi for the mismanagement of our football by the NFF.

Coach Keshi invited Nacho for the CHAN and he absconded from Camp. Would you blame Coach Keshi for that?

Generals02:


We have the talents.

Reuben gabriel was fresh from injury and without a club. He was clearly out of form but Keshi chose to stick with despite despite having Nosa, Joel or Raheem lawal to choose from.

Guess what?

It came back to burn us. Reuben came in for injured Onazi against France and the midfeild collapsed.

Is that what you call a good coach?

A good coach arms his team with the appropraite armoury not with sentimental or fraudulent selections.

No good coach wouod comfortably stick with Agbim afer that over weight mediocre perfomance at the CHAN.

Either Keshi was fraudulent in sticking with these dead weights (apologies) or he was lazy and non competent.


He cost us the game against France with a fraudulent selection.
