Umar Sadiq is an embarrassment to the SE that's what's wrong.

Are Eguavon hands tied, l wonder. He has enough game time and training to be know he is too poor for the SE.

He cannot produce what he does not have.

It creates disharmony in the camp when players can see merit is not the over riding consideration. Sadiq has had enough time, let Olayinka, Onyekuru show what they have

Thankfully we have Awoniyi who has done well enough.

You just want to bash the guy.

This is a simple conundrum. You have a player who performs well at club level but is struggling with confidence issues at national level. There is nothing like he is a disgrace bla bla bla, you are one of the people contributing to the downfall of the player.

We saw the same thing happen with Nacho at Leicester, the talent was there but lack of confidence made him look like he doesn't know how to play football. Look at what a little confidence from Rodgers two seasons ago did to his career.

The only thing we can do for the guy is encourage him to help him get his confidence back. We went to this tournament with 2 CFs, Olayinka and Onyekuru are wingers traditionally. If Sadiq regains confidence, it will be for the good of the team. If he doesn't, then Awoniyi is our only natural CF and if anything happens to him injury wise we are finished.

Three goalkeepers for Comoros won't be available. I hope the host country won't use covid 19 to win cup.

This looks like clear ojoro.

So if we mistakenly meet them now they'll say Simon, Ekong, Ndidi, Aribo, Nacho, Okoye, Uzohor, and Aina don catch Coro?

Thunder fire them.

I feel the same way about Ghana as I do about Tunisia (and I did about Egypt too before our first game).

Two top teams with good history, but currently pretenders. Teams like that are overhyped and easy to beat, and when you beat them it will boost your confidence, add to your momentum, increase your rankings and make you more feared.

In contrast, teams like Mali and Burkina Faso are the teams I fear the most.

Very low profile, but they can give you a run for your money. They don't look the strongest on paper, but on a good day they will beat you silly.

Leave that thing abeg. Why will Cameroon do ojoro against Comoros? Ojoro they didn't use against Burkina? Abeg leave that thing. Comoro started having COVID scaress before they were officially paired with Cameroon self.

First, you need to realize that if you knew better you'll be the coach of the Eagles and not Eguavon.
Sometimes we need to at least give the coach some credit that he knows what he's doing. A coach sees beyond what's on the field of play, he is probably privy to the potential that the boy carries and maybe also aware to what's keeping Sadiq from maximizing his potential. That said, Eguavon is not fixated on Sadiq and doesn't always talk about him, you only hear of him repeatedly cause the press keeps questioning him about the guy

The proposition that you present in the bold is without merit. I will give you mine.

If you know better, have unquestionable integrity, are uncompromising on merit and have outstanding knowledge with high level experiential competence. The NFF will certainly not appoint you as SE coach.

There is absolutely nothing that Eguavon is privy to compared to his club coaches Sadiq has trained with and played for week in week out in Europe for years. These clubs coaches know more about his football attributes than Eguavon.

Eguavon is an experienced Coach , and you don't need weeks to know if a player has nothing to offer.

You don't come to the SE to learn work.

If you have studied Nocolo Machiavelli's book—"The Prince," you will understand me and won't reason this way.

Let me give you one: "The end JUSTIFIES the means."

It doesn't matter how you win, how you get your results, whether it's fair or not, whether it is by crook or by chance, do anything to win.

That's all I see here.

Why hasn't any of their players tested to Coro? Na only their opponents. Just wait for their next opponents, we will come back to this topic.

You think to score in the Spanish league 2 is that easy ?

He has scored 1 goal in this afcon at least ,maybe he should have scored an hatrick against guinea Bissau to impress you ,who knows

It's not easy to score in any league just much easier in some leagues than others.

The two highest Goal scorers in the league are 35 and 40 they are not world class players more like retiring players.

First time I saw Sadiq, years ago , l thought there was something wrong with his feet. Because he is always falling down. Unfortunately he has not changed over the years.

Quick question: I thought the officials testing the teams for COVID are independent?? I thought they weren't majorly made up of the host country?
Cos all Cameroon opponents testing positive for COVID-19 but it seems the Cameroonians are invincible grin

Let me reiterate, l said we have a much better goalkeeper than them.

But we are not comprehensively better than them in any other area.

Comprehensive means - including or dealing with all or nearly all elements or aspects of something

Comoros' first-choice goalkeeper Salim Ben Boina is injured and their other two keepers, Ali Ahamada and Moyadh Ousseni, are isolating; watch how Comoros get on vs hosts Cameroon on Monday in the Africa Cup of Nation

Na you go do analysis first, then Andrew can counter

As long as you have not brought up facts to back your claim, it is just a claim that stems from your emotive bias.

You more than anybody should understand the meaning of words.

I said again l reiterate , apart from the goalkeeper we are not COMPREHENSIVELY better than them.

I went further to say it's debatable depending on your perspective.

That does not mean equal.

So, what are you then saying?

If you say we are not comprehensively better, does that then, not imply, that we are somewhat at par with them?

Does parity not connote equality?

I really don't want to descend to elementary comprehension.

But I've just reiterated to you what I said in case you got confused.

And you are telling me what I said.

Maybe somebody needs to explain to you , because I give up.

The bold is just simply NOT TRUE a figment of your over active imagination.

Or should I say it's a big fat LIE.
