has lamented the poor tactics which cost Nigeria a place at the quarter finals of the FIFA U20 World Cup.
Siasia, who led Nigeria to a second place finish at the FIFA U20 World Cup in 2005, said the Manu Garba led team didn’t play to win, after they were overrun 1-0 by Germany in the round of 16 to end Nigeria’s hopes of finally lifting the coveted U20 World Cup.
“It just wasn’t there today at all. The guys just didn’t come out to play for a win. When you’re playing against the Germans, you have to come out aggressively, keep possession of the ball and create chances to score but we didn’t do all that today.

“We kept marking the Germans five yards away, which gave them the time and space to turn around with the ball, dribble and create chances.
“Just check the number of chances they created and you will realize that they could have beaten us by three or four goals today.
“They scored just one goal but they created a lot of chances but how many chances did we have? We didn’t create much because the tactics was poor.
“With the formation we deployed, just one striker but there was no support going forward and we didn’t create chances.
“It was just Awoniyi going forward and there was no support. He should have changed that by introducing Moses and Iheanacho, but he (Manu) brought in a defensive midfielder when we were losing,” Siasia lamented.

“For me I will blame the coach, he’s the reason we lost,” Babayaro said.
“I keep asking myself where we are going because sometimes it seems like we have taken some steps forward and then we take many steps backward.
“He (Manu) took Moses Simon to the World Cup and did not play him and this same Simon was wanted by the Super Eagles and if he knew he wasn’t going to play the lad, why take him to the World Cup?
“He should have let Keshi have him (Simon). This young lad plays for a top club in Belgium. He has helped his team qualify for the Champions League and is highly celebrated in Europe and he didn’t even get to play a game in the tournament.
“And from the way they played in the tournament, you could tell Manu just had in mind to play a selected group of players, a particular group of players without considering those that has the capability to play,” Babayaro said in a disappointed tone.

all this slamming and blasting isn't enough, sack him before he gets to Nigeria
