Both Ejeheri and Okonkwo haven't done anything of note this season.

semid4lyfe:


Eguavoen should be allowed to continue

Kog45:
Sir,something needed to be done to our midfield,have watched Nig vs Tun three times and I want to say no striker will perform with our displayed especially in the first half,we played mostly on the wings and Tunisia were able to cage Simeon and Chuckwueze....second half could have been better if not for the red card cos Iwobi and Olayinka run around and did the needful for Sadiq but that red card really affected us but nonetheless we need a midfielder who possess and have energy to do the needful,honestly am beginning to appreciate Mikel and Onazi more.....On our keepers.I don't know cos we have WC qualifier in march so we have limited time,Maduka,Uzoho and Akpeyi will still be available,we need another goalkeeper trainer to psyche this guys up.

Na Morocco fit run am

But they won’t win it

Agreed without question but with great discontent.

andrewbaba44:


Just like how Portugal failed to win any game at the group stage of euro 2016 and ended up winning the tournament

I always tell people that tournament football is 60% luck 40% ability. We’ve seen it play out several times

andrewbaba44:


I wonder if they aren’t updated

Peseiro is already the new super eagles coach and the earlier they accept the better for them

Nigeria will qualify for the World Cup by beating Ghana home and away

This post should be framed after it has been achieved .

Mujtahida:

Under Rohr, this was the face of Nigerian football
Hard, ugly, strained, and to top it up, no trophy

A bronze at the last AFCON is not a trophy? , defeating South Africa, Cameron, we almost Algeria won if not because of keeper error, all these feat no be beans,you can just undermine the achievement of rohr, he did very well we are only slightly better than ivory coast when it comes to squad depth yet ivory coast crashed very early the last AFCON. Rohr led us to two competition; he got us a bronze medal,he also led us to two AFCONQ and one WCQ we qualified with a game to spare

Meanwhile....


NPFL starts. The Away Syndrome continues but scoring slightly better.


Kayode Bankole of Remo Stars with 5 Clean Sheets in 7games.

Ghana parts ways with Milovan. Who's hoping on to face Peseiro?

There were a number of errors that led to the goal.

Aina rushed in to make an interception on the half way line against the No. 7 , misses and sprints back overtakes Msakni and blocks him off, ushering him on his inside at the same time getting back into position as Egyptian left back was on his right side.

codemaniacs:


Eguavoen is not tactically clueless..

It is not Eguavoen and Simon's fault that Chukwueze's wing was toothless, that's Chukwueze fault.

It is not Eguavoen, Ndidi and Aribo's fault that Ihenacho and Chukwueze did not track back and help the midfield and also track back to help the defense..

To lose a match, A goal has to be conceded, the goal the S.E conceded was due to goalkeeping error and since the goal was due to goalkeeping error then that means Okoye was responsible for our loss..

same way Edouard Mendy cleansheets last season helped Chelsea win the UCL..
same way donnarumma helped Italy win the Euros...

In fact, Now that I'm thinking about it, sometimes the difference between some teams is the quality of their goalkeepers and strikers but especially their goalkeepers..

Ndidi who is backtraycking Msakni tackles doesn't block him off but dives in and he get sold. Omeruo who is right in front of Msakni, just looked at him and doesn't block him off or attempt to put him off , he just looks.

He then gets a direct shot at Okoye who is asleep and not concentrating or had any anticipation, fluffs it like a school boy, terrible error.

Who is to blame, Ultimately Eguavon .

We are playing a very good team that's a wounded Lion. They have always had good team cohesion. That means your Midfielder need to work hard very hard to close down and break up the Tunisian play.

That means water carriers, hard workers, Midfielders that will tackle and make interceptions, that will backtrack and also attack, and Midfielders that run on diesel not petrol ,long lasting with huge amounts of stamina.

Certain player's are immediately excluded such as Nwakali, KC they will not NEVER work hard and backtrack.

That means wingers who press in unison and also defend. That excludes immediately Chukwueze he just does not do that both for club and nation. Ejuke or Iwobi would have been a better option.

Awoniyi was pressing mostly on his own.

The midfield duo of Onyeka and Ndidi would have presented a different option that would have protected the back four and contained Tunisia.

I probably would have started with Awoniyi and sub him with a very hungry Olayinka who would work very hard as he has a point to prove.
Finally, it's Eguavon fault , irrespective of whatever politics is at play. He needed to man up because it's reputation on the line. He had spent enough time with all these players to know who is who and make the best selection, he did not.

Tunisia will win this AFCON.

BTW, what is the rumour about Ghanaian players using juju during their matches at AFCON?

Heard Partey and Kudus may not honour any call up again

pahars:
Maduka making a mistake in a major tournament is normal.Lets us not forget this guy is just 22, it is a learning curve but am sure he will come better and whether people like it or not Maduka is going to be the undisputed no 1 of the super eagles for many years to come , you cannot overlook a goalie playing regular football in major leagues in europe(he will improve with time)Even Enyeama at the age of 22 I doubt if he was already playing in Europe.

caprikon:


Similar allegations of voodoo were rife in the Ghana team at the 2012 AFCON.... this news is not surprising.

Oasis001:



Maduka has never been a good GK for Super Eagles. Uzoho is far better than him. Maduka is only favored for some Reasons obvious to Everyone.

I never have Confidence in him, and ain't sure I'm gonna be convinced he's the right man to be our No. 1.

absolute trash, what a nonsense write up. maduka okoye will never be super eagles number one goalkeeper again

mostob:
Bro...I really pray the bolded doesn't happen. Do you want us to remain trophyless for 'many years to come' We need another goalie please. And playing regularly in Europe doesn't make you a better goalkeeper.
