Nigerian Fans Are To Blame For Today's Draw To South Africa by thegoodjoehunt3(m): 10:32pm On Nov 19, 2014
[b]It has come to the blaming season. Coach Keshi is the scape goat. However, the truth must be told. Since Coach Keshi took the job as the Super Eagles coach, I liked the fact he em,braced competition. We saw him drop someone of the calibre of Osaze, Uche, Yobo, Taiwo, etc. Before or during the Nations Cup. Nigerians, from the stands, to the members of the NFF, to ex-Super Eagles players, criticised and fought his decisions.

Coach Keshi was right creating a dynamic team. A team that changes are seen and always filled with hungry players which have a lot to prove.

Many criticizing Coach Keshi should criticize themselves. Did they embrace change? Today, Aluko and Aaron Samuel deserved to start. They had been the instrument of change in the team. However, the Coach did not start them. Why criticize him now when he was criticized for doing that all the way.

I watched the Nigeria vs Sudan match at Abuja and saw fans holding Placards asking for Ikechukwu Uche. The fans did not want Aluko who was on the bench. No, they wanted Uche.

So criticizing Coach Keshi today might fly. He refused to start Aluko and Aaron Samuel. The question these fans, ex-Players and NFF members should ask themselves is, What were their reactions when Coach Keshi invited these players and tried to make a change.

These are the main culprits of our failure today.

Finally, the fans in Uyo were shameful. Our team was down 2-0 against South Africa and the Uyo fans booed them. These players needed the fans to get behind them, believe and cheer them to victory. Instead, the players had to battle with a twelve man South African team. With the Uyo fans being the twelfth man. Disgraceful.

How can you describe Ekwenke and ambrose as hungry players? there was no real fighting spirit in the team.

Our team became static. Remember the battle to field Yobo? What I am saying is that, Coach Keshi inviting players should be appreciated, not ridicule.

Thats why he is the coach. I wonder why some person are feeling bad about qualifying, the shameful events(fifa ban, threatening to ban, nff bruhaha, keshi sack and re-appointed and others) that occurred prior to these matches is a good reason why we failed. we don't need a soothsayer to tell us.

Yes, the fans have every right to boo the poor performance. Yet, ironically, as you stated in your opening, the fans are largely to blame. I don't know why Uche was brought back. Ww are a country that has been so militarized/colonized that we celebrate jokes and rogues. You see how many people want an old general from 1983 to lead us next year? Not to talk of bringing back Yobo, Amodu as coach, etc.

Too bad

We want to thank Keshi for the "Height" he has taken us....its time for him to bow out. Let another generation of players and coach come in.

Are the fans to be blamed?No
Everywhere in the world we see fans clamoring for a player they love$who is performing better than a player in the national set up should be called back.
Fans will always boo a team when they don't deliver,Tottenham Hotspur$Newcastle united are recent example,fans calling for the sack of a coach is no excuse for failure also,look at Alan Pardew of Newcastle he used the anger of the fans for a positive change,Big Sam is also an example.
So blaming the fans is just a Flimsy$unaccepted excuse for the failure of Keshi,his crew,Nff$those un-serious bunch of players who doesn't deserve to be ever called up again.
