AndSunGorilla:
Thanks Baba Alagbado!!

Loll

Wetin this guy do you na wey you must Yiorubize his name?



But he is saying the truth sha

chuks404:
see, osimhen is used to players with quick transition. If you watch napoli you will notice this. However, our players are too slow in decision making except iwobi. Take for instance chukwueze, robbing the ball when he was supposed to pass. However, osimhen is doing well. Omo na hunger for goal dey do our boy. Is better offside than being late ( joking though). All these things boil down to understanding. Another thing I like is the way moffi is defining is role. No positional clash with osimhen.

He should calm down

A great player knows he limitation of his team

It's absurd to expect SE to play like Napoli na haba

AndSunGorilla:
Onyeka has made a couple of poor decisions and the second cost Omeruo a yellow card. The first could have resulted in a goal. Bright and Iwobi have been brilliant. Simon too hasn't done badly but I have not been impressed by Zaidu on the left side.

The only person I have seen in that middle is Iwobi

Remove him and SE is done for

He even eems to be doing the most tackles and that's not even his Job

10 yrs I say. Una never see anything

TheSuperNerd:
I am well aware. And I should throw him to the bench of that?? Our most inform player? Our biggest gun who never slacks when on the pitch in the GWG?? Naah... you don't seem to realise who we are both talking about here.

Really?

Where has he been in the last 3 games for GWG? How many goals?

Bros, don't bring Napoli form into this

All your european exploits is for nought if you play nonsense for your country

I maintain my position, Osimhen will not smell that CAF player of the year. He should continue

A desrved moroccan should win it - Hakimi or even amrabat

Just watch. You'll say I told you so

TheSuperNerd:
Even the strikers with the basic understanding of such still get caught offside more than once in some games. Chill. This is not how to be a manager.

Bro, do you know how many times he has been caught offside in the first half of last game alone?

Well, its his career not mine

He has failed o score against a much weaker opponent in GWG colors

What of if he comes against senegal, morooco or even Ghana

Now I see why many say the guy disappears in GWG

Abeg, players wih questionable passion in the GWG has no place in the team

But who will be bold enough to take such decisions?

There should be no anointed player in this team

If you mess up, you should yansh down on the bench

TheSuperNerd:
Don't even go there.

I m going there nerdie

Offside in how many games??

An european player should have basic understanding of positioning

If we are being honest, Osimhen has been unimpressive

I feel he should be benched in the second half

Ndi Chuks fan

Blueelf hates chuks, blueelf hates chuks

Una see am abi

I don't see the hype around Zaidu Sanusi

seriously

andrew444:
Walai

The boy is doing what chuks have failed to do so far

Lolll

Chuks problem has always been decision making

Many of us here have said it

He needs to improve on that aspect of his game

Set piece? na 0

cross nko 0

hahahahaha

10yrs I said

BascoVanVeli:
Akwa United vs Shooting Stars

Beautiful goals scored


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=halHq8C-Vsk

Omo Nigerian GKs are poor

Forget, the SE ain't winning any major trophy in 10 yrs

Even if the cleaning process starts now, it'll take at least 10yrs to get it right

Mujtahida:
E don start. Imagine that out of the roof exaggeration. It's best to ignore him oo. If not there will be an overflow of the blue fountain.

Abi ooo

I no go talk pass the one wey I talk

I have never seen any one on this thread unwilling to admit to his mistakes like him

TheGoodJoe:
Below are the stats of Xabi Alonso in one of his Bayern Munich games against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. You can see he posted 12 accurate long balls. In one of the games this season, Kelechi Nwakali posted 14, and today he delivered 17. So, tagging him as the rebirth of Xabi Alonso is not far-fetched.

Finito.

Bro, this is against a world class team- Bayern Munich and not against a segunda division team

Please make accurate comparisons next time. Your statement comparing the lad to Xabi alonso was bogus. That doesn't mean he isn't talented. If you had said "He has the potential to play like xabi alonso", many wouldn't have had any issues with it.

charlesemeka85:
we really need to invite this nwakali kwanu mk we see wetin em go offer

Abi oo

TheGoodJoe:
Yes, he has not done much, but how much did Addo do before coaching and qualifying Ghana for the World Cup.

As I said, Amunike has been working as a consultant for CAF and FIFA. Amunike qualified Tanzania for the AFCON for the first time in decades. He has done some assistant roles. He has also had his stint with the U20.

On the local scene, he is most qualified. His tactical ideologies is far better than the white journey men we are employing.

What had Eguavoen done before coaching the Super Eagles. What about Oliseh?

As far as I am concerned, Amunike has a better CV than these two had before getting the Super Eagles job.

Well I also agree with you on these points

I feel NFF should consider amunike for the position

But firstly, NFF has to sort its self financially and integrity-wise

charlesemeka85:
fear pikin wey dem born 2005? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I don fight battle wey be battle here em cum be u wey ur post since you join this thread never full two fullscarp sheets? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Abeg today na Sunday so do go to bed on time cus tomorrow na school 🤣🤣🤣

come here, let me knock you

AndSunGorilla:
I misspelt the name, na Tom Saintfiet. He's the coach of Gambia that overperformed at the last afcon. He's Belgian too. Gambia has a good style of play with all their limitations and played bravely throughout the tournament. Interestingly he had been appointed as our coach once but we changed our minds and contract not executed. Truth is the guy na journeyman but he is used to our African nonsense with Zimbabwe and Namibia in the past. For me, Finidi hasn't impressed with Enyimba, Amuneke hasn't done much beyond u17 which Manu Garba also win. Siasia would have been ok but FIFA don already axe am plu he failed once as coach of the SE.

What do you think about this position thegoodjoe?

andrew444:
Keep shut and stop being emotional

Appreciate morrocco

South Africa is crap compared to them

My words are final

As in ehn

Trying to downplay the efforts of a country that is serious about their citizens and governance

Lollll

Thank God the SE never made it to Qatar. It would've been a disgrace to West Africa

TheSuperNerd:
Q1. ANSWER: Obviously Emmanuel Amunike for his tactical understanding of the game and his already grounded knowledge on the core of the Super Eagles main team. He knows our core players inside and out and their tactical/technical qualities. He and Morocco's Walid Regragui share a common theme tactically but both are even different in their applications across various phases of gameplays.

OR. A Cost-effective Tactically Sound Foreign Coach who can come in, pick right and get the ground rolling without the silly excuses of time.



Q2. Answer: I have done rigorous and extensive analyses personally on our team and midfield options and how their individual qualities from technical and tactical POVs can synchronise with one another and I reached this conclusion.

A midfield 3 of Ndidi/Onyedika-Nwakali-Iwobi should be the starting midfield 3 for Nigeria's Super Eagles if we are serious about fixing and upgrading the quality of our middle game dynamics.

I am non-committal for now on Ndidi/Onyedika because Ndidi is still a very experienced and effective ball winner with average passing ability and can still thrive alongside Nwakali and Iwobi but in the long run, and with Onyedika getting more caps off the bench, Ndidi would have to make way for his upgrade in Raphael Onyedika from the start.

Onyedika is not just a ball winner like Ndidi. He is also adept in ball playing sequences and would help us immensely in smoothening the rough edges of our 1st and 2nd phase build up plays. Especially the 2nd phase and its corresponding Recycling plays.


MF Options to back up the starting 3 are: Alhassan Yusuf, Frank Onyeka, Oghenekaro Etebo, Abbas Ibrahim, Joe Aribo (pseudo MF who's more of a hybrid direct forward across the final third), etc.



Q3. I won't answer this because obviously I would be misunderstood. I wish not to stir up any issues so I skip this. And by the way, Musa is still Skipper. Lol

Tactically sound response as always.

I understand your hesitation about the third question.

However, which budget friendly foreign coach do you think can handle the SE?

The truth is, you can't give what you don't have. Nigerian local coaches are inept tactically. When last were they trained on foreign courses? How many were trained by the NFF in the past decade? How many of them have a continental pro license or even if it's the low tier ones?

So, Nigeria needs local capacity development

AndSunGorilla:
Oga mi, Nedu don talk plenty time say the golden midfield na trio of Iwobi, Nwakali and Onyedika. For coach, look no further than Emma Amuneke.

My own stance, slightly different, I think on current form with the players in camp, Onyeka and Iwobi would play better in the midfield deux of Paseiro. As per future coach, we could find the Saintlet or whatever the name of the guy is. Perhaps we should allo Emma Amuneke to try, we won't play worse than we are playing now. I honestly don't think we can afford any decent foreign coach now.

who is this?

TheSuperNerd:
Lol... @bolded... Easy now Elfy. There's no way we are missing out on Afcon qualification. We most certainly are gonna qualify. The top 2 goes through.

And as for the return game tomorrow, I trust us to respond with a win but it would change nothing about my stance on the team's current state and Peseiro.

OKay bro

Now I'm gonna ask you some honest questions

Please which coach did you think will be the best fit for the SE?

Which midfielders do you think should be starting?

Apart from Ahmed Musa, which players shouldn't be invited again to the SE?

BascoVanVeli:
We will thrash them.

I admire your optimism

Hope the SE doesn't disappoint their optimistic fans again

BascoVanVeli:
We might score 5

The Most the SE will get is a draw

In fact, that game is ending 0-0 or 1-1 or 1-0 in favour of Gunea bissau

charlesemeka85, them still dey wail

lollll

at least, blueelf is not the cause of SE defeat

Our underpar team and stinkingly corrupt NFF has disgraced themselves yet again

NOthing good can come out of SE

I will advise you all to save yourself the trouble and not wach the return leg because SE will surely loose.

And if they are not careful, they will miss out on qualification

Nigerian football is so rotten that it will take 8yrs of consistent work to restore it

cc thesupernerd, andrewbaba4

typicalgamer, keep it up. You are doing the Lord's work

jihday:
I see you people are not ready, you don’t even know anything about these coaches. The less said about Cerezo the better, Amunike isn’t pulling trees in Zambia, since Egbo was fired in Armenia? We’ve not seen him again, Finidi can’t even win anything with Enyimba, Emenalo won’t come plus he’s not a coach, God forbid Oliseh

Who then do you think is the best option for the Eagle's Job?

charlesemeka85:
iwobi was our best player on the pitch yesterday

Truth

charlesemeka85:
2nd half jpes brought in onuachu to play upfront with osimhen and instructed the wingers to Dey cross ball 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I swear, na beer parlor coach be this
.

elyte89:
We av d hottest strikers in the world better Dan Brazil France et al 😀😀😀😀 eyin werey



N ordinary Guinea Bissau Dey pepper una

Shame don dey catch me for that statement

Never will I open mouth to utter such nonsense again

Make anybody just disturb us with osimhen news for here again

Them don dey find draw

Lolllll



Charlesemeka85, see our bold predictors don turn prayer warriors

charlesemeka85:
. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The guy no wan hear word na

I predicted all these nonsense

See, for the metal health of nairalanders I push we rename this thread so we focus on the exploits of our players in Europe.

The SE is not ready, NFF is not ready

Let osimhen and chiks not bother turning up for the SE if not, thses SE shambolic performances will reduce their market value

I don talk my own



Abeg, where is afobear
