Prove me wrong

Amedino99:
the only person I can think of with this profile is kadiri ikhana but it's been long I heard of him.

Odunayaw:
Fact is you don't watch the NPFL else you would know Rangers and Remo Stars play good football.

And swallow the next cynic question which would be "yet they have not won anything in CAF"

Tessyy1701:

We get coach, just that NFF are found of employing wrong hand.

Fidelix Ilechukwu are better coach than all our underaged coach but he's not one of NFF resident coaches.

typicalgamer:


You’re telling me if you employ Enugu rangers coach mor remo stars coaching crew

We’ll be playing free flowing football in 2 years ok 👌

Almost 2 decade ago when we last played free flowing football o just remember that

typicalgamer:


I don’t know him but since he doesn’t worship people in power he’ll never get a shot

Odunayaw:
You don't know Ikhana? The CAF champions League winner?

Yet you want to shit on local coaches as you please

typicalgamer:


Exactly let’s be diverse not just amunike and finidi

All d low grade white coaches wey una Dey praise to high heaven,what exactly is deir achievement with our super eagles…none of dem have achieved something tangible aside westerhoff (94) set,so y d fuss

jihday:
all the local coaches we’ve employed none of them have achieved something tangible except Keshi so why the fuss 😏

Odunayaw:
That 2 decades ago is the last we played "free flowing football" is proof it's not just coaches or players, it is coaches AND players.

There is no luxury of transfer market for NT coaches to shop for players that suit their philosophy neither is their time, so they make the best use of what they have.

On a game by game basis it is impossible to play "free flowing football" for 90mins and it will be a terrible to lie to say SE doesn't play attacking football (I change the nomenclature here) at certain phases of their matches.

Lastly, on the coaches of the aforementioned clubs. I only brought up their names to challenge your claim that ALL NPFL clubs play scrap football. Personally I would love to see Fidelis [Ranger's coach] handle the U20s.

chrisooblog:
Really think our coaches are missing a trick on how to utilize Onyedika. Dude has great skill set (that word again ) if deployed properly.

this have always been my point, if we want to go local we need to employ the best Nigerian coach not just employ someone because he used to play for the super eagles

TheSuperNerd:
I have always said it here and was the first to properly breakdown his exact midfield profile. Dude is not your ordinary CDM. He is a proper ball playing holding midfield pearl. Ability to distribute and recycle plays effortlessly and also perform his defensive duties excellently. He is almost similar to a Volante DM but holding MF truly is his forte. Doesn't have to go box to box but he can when tactically necessary.

His passing range is gold. Long, short, medium... all lethal in progressing and switching plays.

If I knew all these stuffs about Onyedika just by profiling him over 3yrs ago and also predicting his growth curve ability-wise if he stayed focused (as he has done so far), then I wonder why a coach like Peseiro experienced in handling players couldn't fathom that out. Profiling is not for everyone.

So it’s better we kuku stick to our local coaches den…it pays economically since we won’t be spending much fx and we would still b getting the same result

typicalgamer:


None of that would be exploited if amunike is appointed he’ll play a double CDM OF ndidi and Onyenka so forget about onyedika prowess and ability because amunike will never exploit it,
Amunike is not one to experiment, he knows the starting boys and he’ll leave it at that but tweak the information that’s all

And that’s why i don’t want him

I want someone who’ll look a player like iwobi or ndidi and say you’re not starting today this is what I’m trying to achieve you either adapt and play like this or I’ll bring in personnel who can

Because by the end of the day coaches get sacked not players

Players are tools so used them as tools

TheSuperNerd:
Amunike utilised a Deep lying playmaker model at U17 level. A bold and risky move that paid off. He played a lad with the skillset of a #10 as a deep-lying maestro. That is the man you say don't know how to experiment??

Onyedika's CDM profile is similar in certain attributes to that of a DLP but the difference that a DLP is far more eagle-eyed, far more creative, dictate plays better and less concerned with defensive duties compared to the Holding MF CDM Onyedika-type.


So there is no way Amunike won't see the need to utilise Onyedika's skills set either as a single pivot or in a double pivot or even a false double pivot as he exhibited in the U17s and U20s.

Arsenal park the bus and made the game boring. We played an open game, Arsenal didn't.

Emma Okala was born in Onitsha but surprisingly Kogi people of Idah saying Emma Okala is from Idah….but historically possible based on migration between Idah and Omanbala peoples of Anambra,reason why i need Sir Idennaa or Omanbala to shed more light on this….

CC:Idennaa

ChrisKels:


Okala is a common surname in Ohafia, Abia State. Most Okalas I know are from Ohafia, and a few from Owerri. I still remember one brilliant law student then who graduated with first class honours from my school she was a native of Akanu Ohafia - Miracle Okala. Though, Emmanuel Oguejiofor Okala was born in Anambra, I don't think he is from Anambra State neither is he Igalan. Do Igalans or Anamberians bear Okala?


Nb: My first post was deleted by spam bot, but I just discovered that they have restore it after I made this post. You can find my first post directly under your original post where you asked about the state of origin of Okala

One this isn’t the under17 and 20 😂
This is grown men football and trust me except he comes up with his own ground built formation and tactics certainly the white man can counter anything you mentioned here easily

Don’t kid yourself those attributes you mentioned Onyedika won’t make use of it against a similar strength African country your know why because we’ll be doing ball chasing same way we’ve been doing for 2 decades

Nigeria style of play doesn’t give rise to creative cdm and cam in recent years

Because you’ll do more marking than playing, and wen in possession fast break counter that leads to goal or miss

Even without tactics we’re not the brightest of the bunch

please don’t compare u17 to mens football

So many gods of youth football didn’t make it in senior men football

Philosopher1979:


If not for injuries Amuneke would have been the best winger Nigeria ever produced. I mean barcelona snapped him up from Portugal. He was something else

TheSuperNerd:
Pep Guardiola literally translated the tactics he used in La Masia and Barca B to the Main Barca team and used it to conquer the entire Europe.

Ofcos I am aware this is grown men football. Am I blind?? Repeating this "this is not U17/U20 football but men's football" line is stale abeg. Focus on the real tactical discourse and stop shutting down valid tactical arguments with stale irrelevant statements.


Tactics are not immune to levels. It cuts across all levels from Cadet to Senior. It is the rather the level of interpretation that differs.
