Bro.. the way some people analyze football here sometimes baffles me.

What is now the difference between what he is suggesting and what we're playing now? I just tire

SE is playing with too many selfish strikers in the starting 11 and it is affecting the balance of the team because the strikers do not want to drop deep to help the midfield and defense. we need strikers that like to pass the ball and are selfless if SE is to continue with such setup which is a bad setup because the strikers are not scoring goals..

the other option is to start 4 midfielders and 2 strikers or 5 midfielders and 1 striker so that the midfielders will control the midfield and the game with their passing since the 4 strikers the SE is starting don't know how to control the game and midfield is too lean to control the midfield and so once SE loses possession there is usually space in the midfield for opponents to pass through the SE midfield which is why the SE concedes the first goal most of the time.

Danielnino00:
Wetin u dey talk? Salah is naturally a winger.. he plays as an inverted winger.. Diaz is also 100% a winger.. Jota spent the majority of his career as a winger before joining Liverpool,but he can play as a central forward.. Nunez is a strilee, but his pace and dribbling skills make him able to play on the wing... All 5 of Liverpool's first choice forwards are versatile.. the same cant be said of ours...

You want to tweak the formation and play players in roles they arent technically suited for

SE players are versatile.

If Iwobi plays AM then Nwakali/Onyeka and Ndidi/Onyedika/Yussuf play midfield in a 4-2-3-1.

Or play only one striker and play Iwobi as AM then Nwakali at Iwobi's left and Onyeka at Iwobi's right then play Onyedika and Ndidi as CM and DM then in the 2nd half bring on Boniface, Moffi and Orban for Nwakali, iwobi and Onyeka.

The point is the SE is not scoring goals and to score goals you need players that like to assist, create chance for others to score and are selfless like Boniface, Moffi, Awoniyi on the wings.

The open net Awoniyi missed was created by Boniface due to Boniface been on the LW.

mostob:
Just look at what you typed.


Rather than suggest good wingers that will push the ones we currently have, you decided to move the strikers around. When did Moffi and Boniface turned to wingers? When last did Orban played as a midfielder?


The funniest thing is you listed 7 outfield players excluding the back 4 and goalkeeper.


Na 12 players dey play match?

Salah, Diaz, Nunez, Jota all play as wingers for Liverpool but they are strikers. so there's no harm in playing strikers as wingers.

Orban will play SS, I call the SS role as AM so that the high amount of strikers the SE has can be put to use. Iwobi is not a Bruno Fernandez type of midfielder that scores lots of goals especially when the strikers don't score...

Iwobi, Nwakali and other midfielders should play as CM or CAM not as AM or SS because they don't score goals and Super Eagles needs passers in Midfield and Iwobi, Nwakali and Onyedika/ndidi/yussuf/Onyeka midfield will either pass to the wings or AM who would then cross or pass to the central striker or other players in the box.

simple.

Barryseal:
Going forward, players like Olisa Nda, Ibrahim Olawoyin, Igho Ogbu, Akor Adams, Gift Orban, obinna Nwobodo, Arthur Okonkwo, Nwakali must be added to refresh the team. We missed doing this during the friendlies which is quite unfortunate.

Add these hungry set of players to the team and watch our fortunes change.

NFF can't change the players and the SE is not qualifying for the world cup because the players will never be changed.

Boniface likes to assist and should be playing LW while Moffi plays RW if chukwueze is un-available while Adams plays Striker then Orban plays AM while iwobi plays LCM and Nwakali plays RCM and Ndidi/Onyedika/Yussuf plays DM.

Then Uzoho is permanently banned from the team.

elyte89:
Let’s try to get barryseal point…firstly as an experienced foreign player plying ur trade in best foreign leagues week in week out shld beat a very lowly rated team even if their coach is not on the touch line ….we had no biz drawing against d likes of Lesotho 🇱🇸 and Zimbabwe 🇿🇼.these are one of the easiest games in the group

Secondly…80percent of the players in our team feels too relaxed that they knw Dey would be starting games once Dey re invited.it’s high time we involve hungry players who re ready to compete and give deir .it’s not necessary they must play in d first five best foreign leagues ,afterall those who executed the last two matches were majorly from d so called leagues dt couldn’t defeat carpenters

You want the NFF that always complain of lack of funds to drop players that some of the NFF members might be collecting money
from for the betterment of the super eagles you must be joking because the NFF only works for the betterment of their private pockets.

If they wanted to do something for the team then Uzoho will not be getting call up invitations.

Odunayaw:
You don't mean it

Yes..

Some high ranking football administrators may also be using the SE to play bets..

chuks404:
t
It shows you the man is stupidly clueless. Is Iheanacho the solution of a midfield that can't even play a one two. What have we done wrong? Seriously this is deeply disheartening.

At club level strikers are usually paid higher than most players on the team.
so that means most of the SE strikers have more money to buy their way into the team than the other players and could the one of the reasons more strikers are invited to the SE.

DeepSight:
Thank you very much and have a nice day. You need prayers.

Prayers are powerless and are for people who are under religious hypnosis.

you need reality. not whyte people created reality

Catapault:
My brotha, I swear, people like this just irritate me.

And they are all over this forum.

they are very plenty...

its as if there's a "task force" somewhere that's just meant to make anti-african comments on the internet.

DeepSight:
Last question. Just to be clear, you also say that the slave trade never happened. The Trans Atlantic slave trade, that is. Just to confirm there isnt some sarcasm I am missing. Thank you.

no sarcasm..

it is story meant to keep black people in carribeans and america against west Africans.

whyte people did not have the infrastructure to move large amount of people from one continent to another.

whyte people in that era were also very racist and hated black people so they will kill any black person they see rather than trade with that black person.

In 2023, Africans are tribal.. In that era, Africans would have been very tribal and trying to kidnap one African from his ethnic nation would have meant attacking his entire ethnic nation simply put, it would have been impossible to kidnap one black person away from his ethnic nation because his tribes people will fight back.

Hungerbadoo:
Thunder fire you

the wise take corrections but the fool enjoys his foolishness..

Catapault:
Are you dumb?

I JUST TOLD YOU WHAT THE UK ANNUAL BUDGET IS.

THEY CAN AFFORD TO SPEND ON BEAUTIFICATION AND MAINTENANCE ON ANYTHING THEY WANT.

DO YOU ALSO WANT TO KNOW THEIR INCOME PER CAPITA?

Mumu.

Oh sure, it is their “white skin colour” that mysteriously, magically makes them love nice gardens.

Is that what you want to hear?

Dumbass, stupid slave.

Abeg lost from my face.

Mumu.

he will quote endlessly expecting you to continue to reply him especially now that you are getting emotional...

he has mental issues and anti-african sentiments.

DeepSight:
Small question, just before I leave a maniac to be a maniac - have you taken a view of the history of this poster or you have arrived at this conclusion solely based on this thread?

I know naptu2. he is a paid political humanoid.

lexy2014:
can you kindly state how you arrived at your conclusions?

Can you kindly state how you arrived at your questions?

Viridis:
😂😂😂 Wise man
But I think you are wrong, the guy's post is neutral.

that's the problem.

the posts seems neutral on the surface but beneath it is a tool of hypnosis meant to make you sympathetic to whyte people.

Catapault:
“Touch of a white man”?

Asokoro, Abuja is well manicured and maintained.

It’s black people that live there.

Ikoyi is well manicured and maintained.

It’s black people that live there.

Banana island is well manicured and maintained.

It’s black people that live there.

It is about WEALTH and CLASS, not skin colour.

If you go to poorer parts of cities in the western world, the white residents don’t ‘manicure’ their gardens if they have any.

They don’t give a damn.

You will see cigarette stubs all over the place and even empty beer cans.

The most they’ll do is cut the grass when it grows too high.

lexy2014 has serious anti-black sentiments and is not someone you should engage in anything as he would continue to quote you endlessly with irrelevant, dull and dumb things..

avoid such people for your own peace of mind and quote them once.

DeepSight:
Much of what the excellent Naptu2 presents is devoid of views - it is simply naked information - often of the kind that thoughtful people reflect upon. Please do not presume that this fine poster does not possess his views on the subjects you raise - and on much much more. What he has done here however, is simply present information for reflection, as is his wont.

what he has done here is show us that he is suffering from colonial mentality and posts like this are meant to keep the minds of people in Nigeria in line with what his paymasters want.

jmoore:
I am calling out your hypocrisy. When the white man does it, you are offended but you are okay with your brother doing it. Same way most of you guys shout racism up and down when tribalism is spreading like cancer. Remove the log of wood in your eyes first.

There is no tribalism in Nigeria..

there is no ethnicity called Nigerian..

Nigeria is a location created by the british..

the nations within Nigeria have their own ethnic territory and are naturally meant to protect their territory from others...

you can accuse a Nigerian of xenophobia but not tribalism...

people like you shouting tribalism are living outside their ethnic territory and try to dictate, manipulate and control the indigenes of other territories and when they oppose you and your likes you start shouting tribalism...

that's not tribalism that's protectionism.. they are protecting themselves from you.

jmoore:
Who your issue epp?

When will your people apologize for the atrocities during slave trade? Kidnapping your fellow black man and selling it to white men.

slave trade never happened..

whyte people did not have the logistics, transportation and weaponry to carry out inter-continental slave trade.

Another thing, whyte people in that era hated black people a lot and will rather kill a black person than trade with a black person.

charlesemeka85:
oga iwobi fought his way to the national team

As of then he was highly rated in arsenal youth team and after his debut for the super eagles he made his first epl debut for Arsenal’s first team and did very well

U for kuku talk say na jay jay influence the boy take mk arsenal first team 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Also na jay jay influence iwobi take remain for epl over half a decade now 🤣🤣

Players like Akanji, david Alaba, adeyemi, eze, oliseh e.t.c were all highly rated but never given the chance at a young age like I won't was given.

Nobody said "Iwobi's time will come". "He should wait for his time". e.t.c

ChrisKels:
When next you wanna quote a write up, try to read with compression firstly.


The post you quoted came in paragraphs. First paragraph talked about his intelligence while the second paragraph talked about his good use of English.


Where did you read that his good use of English is why I consider him intelligent? Have you even listened to this boy talk?

When you want to quote a write up with intention to defending your own write up that was quoted, ensure you have the intelligence to understand your own write up.

It is foolishness and un-intelligent to argue about another race indigenous language.

ChrisKels:
I have never seen a Nigerian player either home bred or foreign bred speak as intelligently as Jerome Akor Adams. Damn that boy is super bright.

I don't even wanna talk about his fluency in English language even though he hasn't lived in an English speaking country before, besides being born here in Nigeria. It is hard to believe he didn't go beyond secondary school education.

Fluency in English is not a sign that a person is super bright.. that's colonial mentality.

His name has both Jerome and Adams in it that means he will align towards English and since english is an official language in Nigeria then he has to learn it.

komekn:
You brought two contexts into play African and European.

You make a demarcation based on exposure and opportunity not sure exactly what you mean. But that for you is component that divides the two contexts Europe and Africa for you.

It's simplistic for me, remember Biblically speaking 🗣️ whatever a man sows he will reap.

The advantage and benefit of Opportunity comes to those who work hard are diligent and prepared.

Micheal Beale was once assistant manager at Sao Paulo in Brazil. He was coaching the U12 development phase in Liverpool FC academy. He is fully qualified and experienced speaking a number of European languages. That is how important that development phase is considered by clubs.

Arsene Wenger once said that once a player is over 13 it's difficult to inculcate natural skill, technical ability ,first touch and flair.

Nigeria football ⚽ development for me is still stuck back in the 80's . Infrastructure almost zero , coaching development not far off, local league development has regressed.

The world football is not at a standstill but Nigerian football ⚽ is in terms of development gone backwards at worst static at best.

Most premier league and even some Championship football academies. Will train 4/5 times a week 2/3 hour sessions each from age 7/8 with top quality level coaches, they will play games and tournament across Europe even America.

I brought one of my friends to a Premier League academy u12 near 3 hour training session. He was astounded at the level of football intelligence, technical ability,skill , game management, physical fitness, etc.

Jude Bellingham was sponsored by Adidas at 13 , who have a data base of top potential players across Europe and the Americans from age 12. It's done with objective measurement and appraisal by top coaches.

There are certain basic skill sets that your average players coming out of an academy will have. Most Nigerian players will excel in some areas particularly athletic ability sometimes dribbling but have poor football intelligence and game management.

Our local coaches who don't have the same competencies as European coaches cannot produce the same thing with little or no infrastructure as well as coaching acumen.

But you want those limited knowledge local coaches to assess players and set up a team and decide who is best . If you have better players and you can't make them work sack the coach. Our coaches also unfortunately have conflicting interests and agendas.

I have noticed that when players from Nigeria get to top academies they don't hit the ground running they take time to learn and unlearn ( nonsense they have been taught in Nigeria) quite often.

Mikel obi was an exception hit the ground running but most struggle to find thier way and some never do unfortunately.

When V.O. first got to Wolfsburg he was completely out of his depth and at THAT TIME would not have got into any top academy.

I ADVISED he reinvent himself drop to a lower league, learn develop and then move up, when the his football education would be complete. That's exactly what he had done.

Iwobi went straight from Arsenal academy to the SE ,why he already had the football education to compete.

It should be the best players in the best clubs and leagues that should be selected. We are essentially ignoring better players for those who have stayed longer in the SE. In must cases without competition, that is enthroning MEDIOCRITY.

Iwobi went from Arsenal's academy to SE because he is Okocha's nephew not because of football education.

Osimhen only made 14 appearances for WolfsBurg, that can't be used to say he was out of his depth.

Franzinni:
you are prime example... Pretty slow and dimwitted... You fail to grasp simple concepts unless spoonfed to you, infact you make my point clearly

You're not making any point with your ignorance and foolishness. you are delusional to think you're not dimwitted and extremely dull and un-intelligently slow to understand anything about black people.

your lack of intelligence ensures you don't grasp easy things and concepts unless the whyte man tells you...

you have mental issues and need psychiatric attention.

DarkJeddi:
His opinion,he is entitled to it..
If Osimhen merits Ballon d'Or..
The whole world will trump it..
You all love you some victim mentality..
Everything is racism and racist to you..

Everything is about support..

it is self-hatred not to support your own..

If Osimhen didn't make the final 3 to be voted winner then the Nigerian journalist should vote for Mbappe not Messi and not Haaland.

Franzinni:
black people are the same ... Everywhere you find them .. even those seperated by 400 years still have the same mentality... You are the one who have decided to remain ignorantly foolish on the matter becasue you have come to the conclusion that becasue they have different tribes that means they are different ... Can you point out significant differences in black people globally ? Anywhere on the world ? They are all the same regardless of origin.

black people are not the same that's your foolish ignorant opinion.

black people speak over 700 different languages, have different facial and physical features.

Kobicove:
I'm sure a significant proportion of those 14,000 are not actually Nigerians

You're right..

this is how they have been increasing the population of Nigeria.

Franzinni:
you are right but you have to understand your future is in your hands and most black people abhor the progress of others and as such using them in context means be who they expect you to be to avoid friction if not they will gatekeep you once your goal is clear. I speak from experience... Serial experience

black people are of different ethnicities and are not a monolith group..

using the term "most black people" is very ignorant and foolish because there are black people who are zulus, akan, haiti, brazilian, black american, yoruba, hausa, igbo and other ethnicities.

grouping black people as one is madness and ignorance.

Qoko:
You be mumu, this is not a Nigeria election, this is merit based election, assuming is African football players, Osimen will win.

DarkJeddi:
Mbappe is French,so you and Cameroonians should stop your by force attachment..
You think the Ballon d'Or is your gwegiri Nigerian politics, where tribalism and religion dictates your vote?

DarkJeddi:
Osimhen was clearly not better than Messi..
So,why should I vote for him?

DarkJeddi:
You have been letting tribalism and religion dictate your choices in this sh1thole..
How far has it brought you?

DarkJeddi:
Insult to who?
Does Osimhen merit the Ballon d'Or, based on his performances?
In fact, show me a country that voted for Osimhen as their first choice?

The quote below answers you

Omoawoke2:
Omoh!! Na Africa dey do Africa

Before you scream competency, please note that Whites will always be sentimental and will choose theirs first over others.
Life’s not fair and no true equality exist, the best you could do is try as much to favor your own.

What a shame. Even Nigeria
