I don't see the NFF dropping Siasia in favor of Manu and his boys for the u23 next year even if Manu wins. Though, i expect Siasia to include some of Manu's boys in his team. Except if Siasia fails at the u23 African tournament.

I came across this piece of comment in Sl10, has any one of you confirmed it?

by Samm Audu Friday May 29, 2015. 12:21 Isaac Success and Taiwo Awoniyi look most likely to lead the Flying Eagles charge for goals against Brazil in an opening U20 World Cup group game in New Zealand on Monday. Coach Manu Garba gave a hint of what his starting XI will look like on Monday during Thursday afternoon’s training at the Manukohiri Park on the outskirts of New Plymouth. Both Success and Awoniyi scored three goals between them, while Manchester City ace Kelechi Iheanacho weighed in with a hat-trick playing behind the two strikers and enjoying a free role. The new formation means Enyimba midfielder Kingsley Sokari, who has been part of the starting midfield since the training camp in Germany, may now drop to the bench. Musa Yahaya also played on the left side of midfield, but he may well be replaced by on-form Godwin Saviour. The only notable change in the back four is Zaharadeen Bello preferred in the heart of the defence ahead of the more athletic Izu Omego. Bello is poised to partner Belgium-based Wilfred Ndidi in the middle of the defence. The Flying Eagles first team at Thursday training Joshua Enaholo – Musa Mohammed, Mustapha Abdullahi, Wilfred Ndidi, Zaharadeen Bello – Ifeanyi Ifeanyi, Ifeanyi Matthew, Kelechi Iheanacho, Musa Yahaya – Taiwo Awoniyi, Isaac Success.

I can't stop laughing... Even the foreign pros playing in lesser leagues ain't excluded. Have always wish one thing though it seems impossible-that a two leg friendly match between d so called super eagles(Keshi's Men) n d SUPER FLYING EAGLES(Manu's boys) be organised to be played in Akwa. So that d true men will be separated from d boys cos here in africa we believe that age determines football maturity... Which made keshi concludes that Nacho was to young to play at d world cup when d Likes of Pele, kaka, messi etc were still teens when de first represented their respective nations @ d highest level of football(WORLDCUP). I know some folks will say experience is needed in d NT unlike d grade teams. Yes, this is true buh are experiences gain on benches? No

gbosaa:


Obuh need to go back to training, I heard him shouting his frustrations on the boys. I felt so pity for that right back wearing shirt no 15. He was really feeling the heat.

Initially I thought this was Manu boys, after watching for some time , I got very worried and wondered how they could play so bad. That team lacked cohesion.

Most of Obuhs instructions were... Femi, Femi, etoh, kayodee.. Run run, follow..no 11 what are you doing there? Go go go..enter....

MEHN THIS LINEUP SMELLS OF GOALS FROM EVERY ANGLE. BUT I THINK MANU SHOULD START ISACC SUCCESS FROM THE BENCH SO AS TO HAVE SOME ONE WHO CAN COME IN AND CHANGE THE GAME. JUST INCASE THINGS DONNOT GO AS PLANNED.

I have been watching from the sidelines, I visit this thread every day .can't wait for Monday to get here. shout out to all who keep this thread alive

Siadia will be relegated to U20 or sacked totally. As far as I'm concerned, Siasia has outlived his purpose in the NT dispensation. He should be relegated to an NFF member or so. Not a coach.


Siasia and Keshi should just leave coaching NTs. They have been recycled more times than Nigerian leaders

LeeCodeman:


LMAO...Obuh don suffer.

But seriously these coaches have alot to learn. Almost all of them play kick-and-follow football.

Samm Audu is the media officer of the team so it might be true

Leon2036:
Bros if akinjide does not start in that blocking 4 then musa Mohammad should just 4get about overlapping

rabzy:


True talk, I remember a time I believed ike shrounmu shud no longer be used, I never really saw him as a great keeper, people were saying experience, experience. I asked them if experience can canmake you fly, if you experience makes u know the ball is going to the far corner, can experience get you there. Experience can really be overhyped

Ifeanyi Ifeanyi will play that role

Relax.... Hw nigerians got short term memory... WYC final, Olympic final with good football.. let siasia be

safarigirl:
a final is not a cup. That's how we held faith with Keshi ontop AFCON trophy until he failed to qualify for the next one. Now he has come back with a ridiculous list for AFCON qualifiers

Na so Siasia for end if say e no employ Manu's Awoniyi to save the useless team he came up with by scoring 2 vital away goals for their AAG qualification.

Football is not about history, it's about the present, if someone has lost his touch, he's lost it. A man that couldn't even help Heartland FC, had a failed stint with the Senior National Team and is now bring re-deployed. Why do we keep recycling these people with their ancient philosophy? Somebody will soon bring in Obuh as U18 coach again and we'll start supporting his employment with the achievemeent of the '09 set

Like seriously.. He needs to be cautious in overlapping. . His overlappings has cost them conceding some goals before

Leon2036:
I'm not sure. He would sacrifice. Him self for the team like akinjide does!

U-20 World Cup; The first Nigerian sports international participating competition for Buhari's new presidential administration.

Failure to win this cup will signify that the element of "Goodluck" in Nigeria's sports ministry had been withdrawn from Nigeria following the ex-president's departure!

gbosaa:


Ifeanyi Ifeanyi is sacrifice personified. He is a very hard worker, technical, mobile, hard and he was the one with a bandaged head during the AYC.

The only fault I find with him is that sometimes he dribbles and gets carried away. Sometimes he is over confident and attempts silly things in dangerous areas, other than that, I think he combines well in the midfield with the likes of Mathew and co.

He is good in wriggling out of awkward and tight spaces and he has the vision to distribute the ball once out of that confinement.

tbaba1234:


Which 'goodluck' ?? failing to qualify for the nations cup 2 out of three times... If we win the trophy, it will not be because of who is the president.

linked:
Am confused here... . Who is Ifeanyi Ifeanyi and who is Ifeanyi Mathew.. .. Differentiate

gbosaa:


Both play in the midfield but Ifeanyi Ifeanyi is more of a defensive midfielder while Mathew is offensive. Both scores goals..Mathew was with the under17 squad of 2013 but was ruled out of the World Cup by MRI scan. Ifeanyi Ifeanyi who plays for elkanemi warriors joined the team later and has blended well. He was the one with bandage on his head during AYC..also got a gap teeth which safari girl has failed to spot... ..

When both are playing, you will see Ifeanyi and Mathew to differentiate them.

you now buhari is apathagious and not prudentive towards sporting activities. Where will our players source motivation?
