forgiveness:



He did not score 20 goals prior to the AFCON and all the goals were scored in lowly Ligue 2. That's poor for a CF. Snapshot 1

Mouse only played 30 games in Ligue 1 a season before the AFCON season but prior to the AFCON, he could not play a single. The rest were in Ligue 2. Obscure league.

Levy Madinda didn't play a single match for Celta Vigo that season they got promotion to the la Liga. Stop lying. Snapshot 2.

I think you are being delusional go and watch the Algeria game and see how many times he was left for dead by the Algerians he was nearly yellow carded in the first 10 minutes and the referee gave him a verbal warning.

Awaziem was the weakest link IMO.


It seems like u have made up ur mind to judge Awazeim's performance at the AFCON using that Algeria game alone cus u keep talking about it anytime his name pop up here..
Na so u dislike am reach? .Awazeim wasn't at fault for any goal we conceded at the AFCON though he had a hard time against Cameroon and South Africa. .he was solid for a player who was playing at RB for just the second time in his career... Don't forget his cross he gave against Cameroon from which your MCM scored ..
He was probably our best player at the tournament after Etebo, Omeruo and Ndidi ..

awaziem was solid throughout the competition,he is one of the players that impressed me so much. the likes of tiago silva,ramos,pique,bonucci,chillieni,van dyke etc are rated as the best defenders in the world but they still gets turned in and out by attackers but that doesn't rub off their qualities and artistry in marshaling the defense line.

for a natural centre back who was slotted in the rb position which is unfamiliar to him at the heat of a big competition as the afcon and he did pretty well shows his level of confidence and exposure have improved. i just pray he leaves porto permanently

That's not the issue.

The issue is overall consistent continous performances not exceptions.

The attributes to be an outstanding Wing/ Full back he simply does not have. He doesn't have the basics.

First of all he has Zero pace that is huge disadvantage in that position that alone pushes you to the bottom of the pile. Secondly his technical ability with 1 on 1 offensive play was very limited.

What he did do very well he was VERY INTELLIGENT he realised his handicaps and played within those limitations but his limitations meant he couldn't support Chukwueze and or come forward to attack.

But the issue was that both the SA and Algerians recognised his handicaps. That made him the weakest link as a full/ Wing back.

Knowing fully well his deficiencies he should never have been playing that position. Irrespective of how he managed his deficiencies.

@ bolded. Algeria yes,SA hell no!!

Even against Algeria, was he at fault for any of the goals we conceded?
Why are u making it sound like the guy has been playing that role all his career ?

If truly Moses as changed then he should be the one to announce his comeback from retirement not us going to beg him..
I totally refuse to subscribe to the idea that we don't have any player to replace Moses! .. Moses himself meet other players in the team when he first joined but he was given his chance and he grabbed it! Let the likes of Onyekuru,Chukwueze and even David Okereke be given their chance too...We have already seen what Kalu can offer...

If we go back to beg Moses now we will be sending a wrong message to our younger players who are still waiting for their chances.. we will be making them feel like they aren't good enough at all..

If we want to move forward, we should let go of the past!!

You are seeing it from same point of view as me.

I am not sold on Moses returning.

Let us give the younger player more opportunity

He doesn't (really) like Onuachu. He doesn't even know Onuachu well. He has possibly never even bothered to watch Onuachu's games. So how can he genuinely like Onuachu all of a sudden? Lol...

He only likes the idea of Onuachu playing instead of Osimhen.

His fake likeness for Onuachu is a case of supporting player B to be picked over player A because he doesn't like that player A.

Believe me if Tammy Abraham to GWG talks resurfaces, you would see him switch sides again to begin saying he prefers Tammy to Onuachu and give you reasons why Tammy is a better fit than a taller Onuachu.. lol... The guy is so bloody predictable and it makes him an eyesore to read every damn time.

So Komekn would rather have another player picked instead of Nacho, Osimhen, Omeruo and co... That is how his silly bias works. And he does it that way not caring if it is for the best of our Super Eagles.
Imagine talking up Aina as our best defender because of interceptions stats when Omeruo was by dar our finest defender at the Afcon. And we all know why he talks up Aina so much. He belongs to the English-born Naija players.


Aina is good and I love him but with Komekn here, some of you will be made to hate/dislike/hardly rate Aina because of how Komekn will communicate always in favor of the English-born Naija players.

Komekn has a very dangerously divisive bias coupled with his irritating limited knowledge of football outside England. And someone so bloody limited should not be taken seriously.

Add Chukwueze to that list. He will use every opportunity to always talk down on Chuks' talents subtly.

On Awaziem, Komekn is probably the only blind bat to keep trying so hard to discredit Awaziem. A player who most top Journalists agree did a yeoman's job for us at Afcon 2019 and was one of our top revelations of the tournament. In fact, the less seriously people take that clown, Komekn here, the better....

Reading his comments can make one less intelligent for he never uses correct intelligence to make his points. His intelligence is corrupted thus he only uses his selective-bias skill + his English(borough)-plastered cortex to drop words.

Gernor Rohr Speaks On Dumping Super Eagles For Morocco

Jul 23, 2019

Super Eagles Head coach, Gernot Rohr, has noted that he is still under contract with the Nigeria Football Federation and therefore, dismissed the speculations linking him with Morocco and Gabon.

The Morocco national team is looking for a new coach after the Atlas Lions handler, Herve Renard failed to guide them past the second round of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Super Eagles Coach denied the report that he had made contact with the Royal Moroccan Football Federation.

Rohr during an interview with Sportinglife.ng said, “Though I’ve heard the rumours that Morocco wanted me, the truth is that nobody has contacted me about any job; I also heard that people in Gabon are also thinking about me”.

“But I cannot even negotiate with another country because I still have a binding contract with Nigeria.”

“Of course, it is an honour to be mentioned than for no country to want you at all but I’m still under contract. I still have a one year contract with Nigeria.”

“I think everybody saw the good job being done here in Nigeria whereby we came from being number 11 to become number three in Africa.”

Easy son....easy.

People will always dislike certain players no matter what. Eg there are some that dislike players like Shehu, Ighalo, Musa, Akpeyi and Ezenwa no matter how they perform in any game.

The best we can do is to argue it out with such people and move on.

I have tried not to blame any player concerning that Cameroon's second goal because it was clearly none of the defenders' fault.
Omeruo jumped to contest a header but due to the direction in which the ball was flying from and the position of both players with respect to each other (Omeruo as the defender had to be behind the Cameroonian attacker), it only means the Cameroonian player(forgotten his name) will likely get the ball first which he did. If he had missed, Omeruo would have headed the ball out.

Now, it was a 50-50 ball and so the Cameroonian player (Njie) had to hope his player got the ball before Omeruo so he ran in anticipation. Aina in split second had to decide between hoping Omeruo gets the ball and following Njie in case the Cameroonian player heads the ball. Njie ran and Aina followed is split second but because Njie had already built momentum and was running in the direction of the ball it meant he had a higher chance of knocking off Aina which he did. And that led to the goal.

I, for a person that played and coached the game, think there are certain scenarios you see play out and you find it difficult to blame players involved.
