These prolonged egoistic debates isn't helpful to this thread. This should be one of the oldest/longest threads on nairaland.

I really miss some monikers here especially Tbaba (RIP).
Mehn that homie was a real gee, he was one of the few dudes here that really know about naija football deeply,his exclusive infos is second to none; his football takes are super intelligent, one of the most respected moniker on and off nairaland, of course the takes of some moniker like goodjoe, safarigirl, smartsmith et al( some I can't recall their moniker) are also missed, but here we're stucked with a narcissistic sociopathic bàstard from Baltimore and his imaginary haters

Honestly, apart from the fact that Peseiro's team actually attempts to pass out from the back, I see no difference between him and Rohr.

Both are anywhere-belle-face coaches banking on players' individual brilliance to pull them through.
Rohr's team is actually more disciplined than this, with JPES, we will find it hard to qualify the next AFCON or even if they struggle to qualify we will struggle to have a decent outing

So, after Nigerians wailed and cried that Rohr was destroying our midfield by overloading the team list with defenders and wingers, Peseiro came and just continued the same trend.

Today, we have only Iwobi as the creative/ attack-minded midfielder in the team. And then maybe Aribo.

Sometimes I wonder where they got that Peseiro from.
I personally opined against the sacking of rohr and appointment of eguavon then it very unfortunate, even on rohr worst days we wouldn't have played this rubbish

all you stated is top notch and the chief culprit here is iheanacho

I hv said this times without number that he is becoming a nuisance in the national team. He can’t press, doesn’t drift to the middle when deployed upfront and as a lone striker he is useless

Iheanacho’s only asset in football is just his shooting accuracy nothing more nothing less

In the second half I expected a change of tactics from peseiro since the initial one wasn’t working. The Algerians had the upper hand because they had more bodies in the midfield and stressed iwobi and Onyeka so much when iheanacho was expected to drop deep to add bodies in the midfield

Our coach should ditch the 442 formation unless when playing minors. Am iwobi further the pitch would hv created havoc for the Algerians and atleast created a good chance for a 2nd goal

A pivot of onyedika and Onyeka with iwobi we will hv a diamond shape in the middle with the Everton man given the room to roam around while Onyeka with his engine and agility given the license as a b/b midfielder while onyedika screens the bck four

If jpes sticks to his preferred 442 I doubt he will win many games as the coach of this team

The same old fashioned formation that made the team not to qualify for the World Cup
Everything is off about this team, I Just finished watching england U-21, I have no absolute remorse to say they play better and more entertaining football than the boko Haram styled football super eagles, from rohr's era to eguavon to JPES; super eagles can't string 10 passes together as a team, this shows the lack of organization in the super eagles, everybody dey play gidi-gbo football more of the brawl; zero intelligence, no technical play, and to think of it, most of this players are technical players but obvious they ain't playing to their strength. We need to change this hisbah and unknown gun men formation/tactics we will do more with a 3-5-2, 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3 ihenacho has no business in the super eagles again abegiiii, alhassan needs an invitation in the next game, I want to have an Hassan-ndidi double pivot with iwobi playing in a more advanced role.

Bros calm down, the midfield set up is totally a new one.
5& 6 Totally new
Iheanacho never played behind Moffi. Just a reminder
This n!ggas have been training together for more than one week now, there should be synergy between this guys, it not about the midfield only, the team lacks organisation, from defense to attack, zaidu is not joining Simon Moses in the attack, ademola is not linking well with aina, don't let me talk about iwobi-onyeka haramic partnership, this is not about player quality, this is complete tactical blunder

joes should dump this is 442 formation

It makes the midfield lean. That formation is outdated
It not about the formation, it about the way it is played, when playing a 4-4-2 formation against a formidable team like Algeria, it should change to a 4-2-3-1 when defending or pressing upward, one of the mumu wey dey front is suppose to join the midfield for a good link up play and the winger should be pressing upward,with this; you make wing play effective and make the thin midfield more robust. The coaching crew is completely clueless and useless, is this what Jose Mourinho recommended to your NFF?, this is a shameful, even age grade team of some particular country will play a more compactful and organize football than this rubbish, this is not about the player, it the tactics, ademola, moffi, iwobi bassey, akpo dey ball for their team, they were completely shut down today

Like Andrew said you're over simplifying the issue.

Wages though a determinant is not the only way to judge a team's quality or lack thereof.

Everyone knows that teams in Spain outside the top 3/4 are financial lightweight so you can imagine how poorly paid teams in La Liga 2 are.

Compared to Championship clubs who enjoy huge financial windfalls. Most of the time they are able to buy a legion of players.

Look at Nottingham Forest for example despite buying almost 20 players during the transfer window the quality of their football is still dour.

I can bet the quality of La Liga 2 will still be decent quality in comparison to wages received.

Don't get me wrong Nwakali still has a long way to go in his career but sometimes learn to appreciate people's small beginnings. Didier Drogba and Jamie Vardy didn't enjoy the greatest starts to their respective careers but look at where they are now.

Nobody is saying you shouldn't give your honest opinions on a player but learn not to be absolute when judging how well a player will turn out.
No team in laliga 2 can survive in championship without relegating, the quality in championship Is better than some top flight league(and I mean this) the Nottingham forest you mentioned they're not playing bad, it hard to adapt to premier league generally, and they're above leceister city and same point with west ham, other team that got promoted with Nott; Fulham and Bournemouth are 6th and 12th on the table respectively, championship team are generally successful cos of their financial strength, sponsorship et al unlike laliga 2 that are just merely feeder team, rely mostly on academic lads, and other free agent or perhaps backwater leagues player, championship have brought alot of stars like Bellingham (played in Birmingham), mount, tomori, Reece James(Wigan), mitrovic, arnaut danjuma, e.t.c I could go on and on these are the qualities championship team provided, I don't think there is any second division league in the world that can be compared in terms of quality with championship

Politics › Kwankaso's Legacy As Former Governor Of Kano by Astrid4(op): 9:11am On Sep 22, 2022
One of my most telling legacies as governor of Kano is in the vast improvement in the human capital of our people.

I have fond memories of thousands of our citizens benefiting from scholarship opportunities to advance themselves in major and specialized courses.
That include engineering, medicine, aviation and the likes. Some of these include;

1. Sent over 2,600 students to 14 countries including UK, UAE, Ukraine, Turkey, Cyprus, India China, Malaysia, among others across the world.

2. Sponsored 450 students to further their studies locally at Igbinedion, Bells and Crescent and Al-Qalam Universities

3. Sponsored Post Graduate Training of 21 Candidates in Public Health at Texas A & M University, USA.
4. Sponsored 8 students for dispatcher pilot course at College of Aviation, Zaria.

5. Overhauled primary schools, through the construction of about 2,000 classrooms and 1,000 offices.

6. Re-introduced free feeding for all primary school pupils 5 times a week.

9. Provided 2 free sets of uniform for all primary school pupils.

10. Constructed 400 Kwankwasiyya teachers' lodge in rural primary and secondary schools.

11. Established 4 new high standard Secondary and Technical Colleges.

12. All medical students indigent of the State were placed on GL: 07 as monthly allowance.

13. Approved the setup of 300 laboratories of Physics, Chemistry and Biology in 100 Secondary Schools.

14. Established 44 Technical and Islamic Studies Schools.

16. Sponsored 100 persons for Degree in Medicine overseas.

17. Established 26 new Institutes for vocational training.

18. Sponsored 100 persons for Piloting and Aeronautical Engineering in Jordan.

19. Sponsored 100 persons for a Degree in Pharmacy overseas.

20. Sponsored 100 females to study Medicine (Gynaecology) abroad.

21. Sponsored 25 Candidates to India and UK to study Marine Engineering.

22. Sponsored 45 students for aeronautical engineering course at the College of Aviation Zaria.

23. Sponsored 502 youths for Ph.Ds and Masters degree programmes overseas.

This is what we intend to scale at the national level which will definitely end the present educational backwardness. We should bring our students back to their classrooms, thereby preventing incidents like the recent blockage of airport access roads by these students.

No Album in Africa has been promoted like MIL was. Even if you open Kuda app, FPL, Porn sites, Blockchain app, Xender, App Store or even your camera, you’ll see MIL ads forcing you to click.

No dey cap!!

Wizkid is riding on OG tax, Essence blew the album and it wasn’t even his singles.

One on one, Wizkid has never produced any better Album compared to Fireboy since. But we’re not ready for this conversation
Which kain mumu take be this MIL is the biggest album that came out of africa in 2020; they nominated this album for Grammy,won album of the year African Entertainment Awards USA,

Within one week of release, Made in Lagos broke several African streaming records; it became the first African album to debut on the Spotify Global Album chart, debuting within the top ten. The album surpassed 100 million streams across five platforms nine days after release, a rare milestone for Afro-pop artists.

It debuted at number 15 on the UK Albums Chart with over 4,100 album-equivalent units and number 80 on the US Billboard 200 with over 10,000 album-equivalent units.Following the release of the deluxe edition, the album sold an additional 17,000 units in the United States, peaking at number 28 on the US Billboard 200. It has spent over 90 weeks on the Billboard world albums' chart.

Plotted the killing of Northern and SW elites with Nzoegwu while freeing Igbo elites.

Took over from Gowon to declare war and gave instructions that led to attacks and bombing.

I remember the Queen’s office in Ojukwu’s bunker in Umuahia that year, if you go there now, they’ll show you the Queen’s office then.

She no try atall. She also told Awolowo to sabotage and betray Ojukwu after their private plans.

So many reasons to blame the Queen for the Biafra war. I hope the Queen’s corpse saves us from this current politicians stealing and looting, because she planned it with them too when she was alive[/s].

CHELSEA FC⚽️��:
Tuchel has no desire to take time away from Football, the abrupt ending has left a bitter taste in his mouth as he is understood to indentify more closely with Chelsea than any of his other clubs.

Tuchel’s initial wishlist included De Jong, De Ligt, Raphinha and Kimpembe, the owners delivered none. Boehly and Egbali leant on data analysts with experience in US sports while Tuchel stressed the need for him to talk to potential signings.

Tuchel did not initiate a single conversation with one first team player at Chelsea for more than a year, offering him no guidance on how they could get back into his team whenever they fell out of the starting 11.

(The Athletic UK)

ℹ️@Chelsea_fc_worldwide

Boehly described Tuchel as a nightmare to work with to a league executive. Tuchel was unhappy at being asked to report back to Egbhali about his team meetings and felt he was likely to be sacked during pre season. After Leeds, they stopped communicating.

When Boehly met Cucurella in Mykonos:Over the course of his conversations with the player and his representatives,Boehly displayed detailed knowledge of Potter’s career—Boehly also contacted Potter to ask about Cucurella.

Tuchel was unhappy at being asked to feed back to Eghbali about his team meetings and felt he was likely to be sacked during pre-season because of it, only for Boehly to smooth things over.

After Chelsea had lost away to Leeds a few games into the season, Tuchel and the owners stopped talking.

Capaldi:
With this attitude most incoming coaches will get tired of working with him very quickly. Wanting coaches to explain everything, from why they want or don’t want this transfer target, why this formation of tactics etc. That was how Abrahimovic was asking Mourinho "who was Drogba" "Where does he play for"and why he wanted him but Mourinho just said "Pay and don't speak. Nobody wants to be micromanaged like that, coaches just want to do their job and leave the transfer business to others while giving little input themselves.
He deserves an explanation cos it seems this dude are already to spend money and their money must be justified, it doesn't matter whether they're big names or not, what matters is do they fit into the team tactics or not, that's was the data analysis is all about
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by Astrid4(m): 7:31am On Sep 08, 2022
“Thomas Tuchel showed no emotional intelligence to adapt to the new structure and didn’t like speaking to so many people about transfers.

"His role wasn’t as complicated as he made it out to be too. He just had to give his say in who he wanted”

“Tuchel’s man management at the start was brilliant he got many players who were unhappy back in the team and built a brilliant squad harmony.

"But then all of a sudden in the last six months that all evaporated and many players became frustrated with him. Especially the attacking ones. 5 out of the 7 attacking players wanted out."

"Tuchel said no multiple times to Ronaldo as boehly and egbahli wanted a reason why he was saying no."

"They wanted to sit down with him and look at it from a data aspect and see why didn’t fit the team and Tuchel simply didn’t like that."

"The new ownership have been asking ppl about the hottest big prospect coaches around if they were gonna look to sack Tuchel back when they took charge of the club and Potter was a name which was coming back constantly and now hence why they moved for him."

� Matt Law - Telegraph

This seems like the real he was sacked, conflict in ideas and vision between the gaffer and the owners
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by Astrid4(m): 6:30pm On Sep 07, 2022
Boehly learned that some senior players were unhappy with Tuchel’s tactics and is keen to make his own appointment. Chelsea used three formations in Zagreb, one of which included using Sterling in central midfield.

Thomas Tuchel did not want Chelsea to sign Anthony Gordon. Todd Boehly's data analysts pushed for the signing after being impressed by some of his performance metrics.

Thomas Tuchel was prepared to let Armando Broja leave Chelsea this summer due to believing he was not yet ready for his team. He was also ready to leave Hakim Ziyech depart.

It was actually a 4-0 pre-season defeat to Arsenal that first made Chelsea's new American owners realize a change might be needed.

Sources also tell CBS Sports that transfer deadline day was tumultuous. Tuchel became annoyed at the time it took to sign Aubameyang and felt Granovskaia would have got a deal for Ajax's Edson Alvarez over the line.

Back at the start of the summer, there were real hopes within the new ownership group that Thomas Tuchel would provide the much-needed stability and continuity as the club ventured into uncharted territory.

Yet the ownership and management at Stamford Bridge did not know whether they could work together. These were characters flung together abruptly by circumstance.

Chelsea’s new owners have quickly discovered what Abramovich had long since learned: as soon as the relationship between head coach and hierarchy is perceived to have broken down, there is no recovery.

Five of Chelsea's seven attackers wanting to leave and being deeply unhappy during the transfer window was a reflection on Thomas Tuchel's management and something the owners were paying attention to.
