Goke7:
The Sports ministry had good intentions by picking Finidi cos I watched the video where the minister was charging the boys before the SA game to go all out that they intentionally didn’t appoint a coach they don’t know to take over perhaps the idea was to retain some good learning from Afcon since Finidi was assistant coach to Paseiro, remember we heard reports that the sports minister wanted to retain Peseiro. Honestly Finidi has more blame than nff or the sports ministry

That's what i kept insisting on. He's been there all the while, why did things now take a dive when he took over? Shows man himself na chilled Oliseh of sorts. Aside his lack of philosophy.

Goke7:
Fisayo nko at least e get shot small

Make e do am 2 more times and hype go start. He's already in the team anyway

Philosopher1979:
Ebenezer Akinsanmiro u forgot
Tochukwu nnadi
Daniel daga
There is one foreign born in Aston villa ask komekn about that.
Yeah there is samson tijani

Quick Integration ought to be priority now. Not until we reach 2025 and start trying to kickstart such. Friendlies should see less of the regulars and more of newbies trying out in the setup.

Goke7:
Abeg leave the boy with im baby pass or shot make we find players wey go sabi better shot if we wan progress

We are stuck with him until u20 or u17 produce one better kid. For those saying make those one graduate small small, they don forget say na emergency situation be this. The 2019 midfield will all soon be gone.

Etebo
Ndidi loading
Iwobi one day

So which 3 go take over?
Eletu?
Hassan
Onyeka and Onyedika?
Anybody else?

We saw more mats clips than any hint of intelligence in training.

Goke7:
Una wan force am Dey shoot? Na by force? 😂

Abeg make Una leave the boy alone if he begin shoot now Dey balloon anyhow na we go still complain o!

Lol. If you know me, i be Iwobi defender here. Just that that aspect dey vex person.

Well, Ketekete Effect nooni

Deltamani:
❗️ Barça insist on the signing of Kika Nazareth. The player is pushing to leave as well.

Benfica rejected the initial offer of €400k and demand the €1 million release clause.

make club come for Ucheibe too o abeg.

lovewins:
Iwobi can help offensively and I agree Ndidi shouldn't even be in the conversation again, but Iwobi is still not that guy. You'll notice his reluctance anytime he has an opportunity to shoot, it is because he's not a great shooter of the ball. We need someone who is actually a threat offensively, not just someone who creates chances and Iwobi isn't that person.

That shooting aspect just dey vex me. Fact however is that the team needs him more now. I dunno why no coach has screamed down his neck to shoot. Like what happened to the kind of stunner like Europa League final that year. He's indispensable right now because without him in the setup, creativity is gone. And that's annoying. Iwobi will create and drag bodies to himself which is his Fulham pattern too. Na tap in he dey score pass😂

If only he can do more with shooting. Oyo for whoever things he no dey do anything in the middle o. Lol

The Lunin noise is coming up. OYO for Arsenal fans that think he will want to be 2nd choice. Is like they need OT. Lunin is leaving Madrid to be 1st somewhere else. Is it now Arsenal that he will come to do 2nd to Raya?


Besides, are we ready for Ramsdale departure? It will be somehow sha. I have this feeling he will see mins at this Euros and he'll deliver. If that happens, will that change departure? 😂😂

Sad about the Chido news.

lovewins:
Yes we have a problem defensively, but we have an even bigger problem offensively.

Since the World cup qualifiers started we have played a total of 14 games and have scored a total of 14 goals. With our supposed world class attacking roster we average just one goal a game. We are struggling to score goals and the simple reason is because we've been figured out offensively.

Nigeria for the most part plays through the wings to score. Any coach worth his salt who has watched enough of our tapes will easily figure that out. Once upon a time we have skillful players like J.J (maybe Mikel) who provided options for us who could drive the ball through the middle and get some defensive attention freeing the wings a little. Now we don't have that.

South Africa and Benin just focused their defensive on Lookman and Chukwueze. The middle was the freest in both games but we had no player who could take the initiative to go through the middle. If we had explored both we probably would have scored more goals. This is where players in the mold of Eze and Olise could help.

Guess how we scored both goals? Fisayo and Onyedika through the middle.

One issue I've observed is that Iwobi is doing too much currently. He drops deep to receive and the buck of progression and creativity still lies on him, especially due to expectations. He can't be doing that all 90. Another person gats do that and allow this guy flourish in his main role. This is where Ndidi needs sit out henceforth too. He was nowhere available for connecting passes from the CBs in that 1st half. It was too Terrible. Off the ball, it was still iwobi trying to create options just by moving into space and was also the quickest with passes compare to the other two midfield partners. We can't even be fast on counter. We allowed them to keep recovering and then have no idea to break them down until we lose the ball and they use sleek passes to progress into our box without any resistance.

You guys are clowns, seriously.

[quote author=TheSuperNerd post=130427544][/quote]I did. Alot was overlooked because of the loss took centre stage.

humility33:
Nigerians are already infuriated any more loose with finidi incharge will spark outrage

I don't know why Finidi can't just humble himself and resign

He will save himself a lot of vawulence if he steps down now.

Any stick with finidi theory is a recipe for a cruel reality that will shake that glass house and scatter everywhere. Nothing impactful he can do enough to compete with the mid teams in Africa. Not to talk of the top dogs. He should getat.

Deltamani:
Anyway I would love to see the Combination of Rinsola Babajide, Rasheedat Ajibade and one of the No.9 upfront..

Randy gats trust her. Scenes where she pulls and Ademola Lookman on us all. That's what i think every time i see her club performance.

Deltamani:
Those good in the Air right now are Uchenna Kanu, Ashleigh Plumptre, Osinachi Ohale, Michelle Alozie, Ifeoma Onumonu, Onyi Echegini and Chinwendu Ihezuo…!


Ajibade, Demehin and Ucheibe still Dey try.

we're on verge of losing Ash and Blessing rn. Phew. I hope they practice that part anyway. Anything for advantage imo

Deltamani:
Rinsola Babajide will be another powerful Force from set pieces especially Corner Kicks… Her deliveries are very very top notch.!

Let's hope we have good headers there. Alozie sabi jump too?

Deltamani:
Na NFF you go ask ooo, especially Recycling Christopher Danjuma over the years in the National team without any visible results… After series of failures with the SuperFalcons, they still allowed him handle the U20, this would be the 3rd U20 World Cup he will be going…!

Those Visionless lots!!! Chai

Deltamani:
Wendie Renard in Benin 🇧🇯

Wetin she come do there? Is she from there originally? Her and Salma just tall like iroko. Bball dey miss them.

What's the coaching acumen of the Nigerian coaches that will be around the female cadet teams in the next 8years? I asked because i want to know if the ones eligible for u17 and u20 are actually doing what it takes to further their career prospects by coaching courses and the likes. Not that they'll be expecting promotion solely based on a successful campaign with the young girls. We need coaches that can impact the next gen in such a technical way of FIFA standards that we'll leave rivals behind and move on from just seeing super talented ballers carrying the team.

FG sef ehn.😂😂😂


12kg gas
Water alone both drinking and etc
Electricity is not guaranteed especially without prepaid so lets assume generator which 10k fuel for Tiger per month is manageable.

E don enter 40k alone. Cut it down due to Shegenomics put at 30k.

If children exist, fees have taken it to 150k overall.
Tfare puts it at 200


Nothing less than 200k is needed to run a Nigerian family of 5 at least. But these grumpy potbellied pipu that enjoy nonsensical stuff such as Hardship Allowance no go wan allow citizens breef.


Add those state govrs that are miserable and cunny and devilish.

Odunayaw:
But fact of life is that there is only two outcomes whoever you appoint. Abi no be Mancini no fit carry Italy over North Macedonia (a country that I only heard of in the Bible before the match)

If na JPes gather two draws again, are you saying you would have pat him? Na fear of choice de paralyze person pass.

I think we have AfconQ in between now and the next WCQ fixtures? If na new hand we de hire, now is our chance or else na miracles we go expect and then cry if e no sup

The hindsight that need become foresight is that no foreign coach has been exempt from huge criticism. From Jo Bonfrere days to Rohr and Jpes(before he gather small sense wey don make us forget as he carry us go final). So that alone is enough reason for anyone to put noise on any local coach coming to do lab scientist here. We don't have luxury of Time. I think only Equavoen is the local coach that had time against him and he did something as regards structure. The rest always wants time while doing crap. If we see some sense of structure, many will lean back. Finidi lacks everything here plus acts like he doesn't know what's at stake.

Now the way we rem Jpes is about final. That's how events do wrt history. Jpes didn't enjoy any patting, esp here na.

Katcall:
You people are confused. These were the same thing you said when rohr and pes were in charge. You are never firm. If you have 90 million dollars to pay him, he will go

No dey use "you people" and include someone just like that because you want to buttress your pov. You see me near anything like that? So rest this you people thing pls.

What you should be harping on is that no manager of SE, when they're messing up, is alien to complaints and analysis on where they should have done better. It is part of the game. If you want any game that people don't complain about crappy showing like the one finidi just did over 4games, then OYO o. Abegi

Deltamani:
I will still keep them at 2nd behind SA as they have over taken Zimbabwe and Botswana..

The Falcons wanted to win that game on that day but I think the God of football wasn’t on our side..

Ivory Coast 🇨🇮, Tanzania 🇹🇿 have such Male like players too. I just hope they take advantage of it now..

The only ones Nigeria have right now are the Ladies that chose to train hard and work on their Physique even right now we’re trying to make sure the retain their feminine look at least… If not the likes of Chichi Igbo, Cynthia Uwak, Rita Chikwelu, Oghonna Chukwudi and Co Literally worked their Ass off just to look that way..!

We still get the levels sha. They can't match. But i pray we don't allow these newbies begin dey raise shoulder for us sha. We have enough talents to sustain or even do better as it stands. I pray o

lbrichman2:
If we sack Finidi now, we would be making the same mistakes we made with JPes
JPes also made mistakes, then he stumbled on a formula that worked for him and used it to get to AFCON finals
We let him go with all the knowledge he had

If we sack Finidi now, the instability will affect the players and possibly results (think Napoli this past season)

Let's stick with him and maybe the technical committee should monitor his call-ups from henceforth

Let's invite our best players in Europe and not all these half cooked players in Npfl and Tanzania leagues
Then we might have a chance

What kind of talk is this.


Something is already in rotten state and you're saying if lab scientist is not remove for a better scientist, things will rotten even further. The current lab scientist doesn't even understand his own hypothesis or what to do about the kind of organisms in his before. Who invited the mediocre players? A player nobody has discussed ever before is given 90mins b2b and that is not an offense? He should getat abeg.

If the players are low it is because the boss can't inspire enough confidence in them to want to do it better. Especially when he insists on a particular approach.

Let's
Lets
Lets


We are in emergency mode right now and in the midst of teams that if we miss out, it will be top mockery for the next 1 decade of football if we don't wake up and restore factory settings NOW.

Odunayaw:
Omooo we need a win-at-all cost coach to pull this off o

Human relations is one aspect I'm personally thinking is affecting this team. He's been in the team since yet when he was announced top boss, it's like a gulf cracked up and morale dived.

At this point, Finidi has to go if we want to try win and stand a chance. He will NEVER be forgiven if we miss another world cup


Infact, unless these legends goan warm eba or go outside and touch grass, they should never be trusted with such delicate duties as top boss ever again. Whoever champions local coaches for this job is an enemy of the state imo going forward. Many factors contribute to this and lack of self awareness is there.


B2b wCq and na local coach wan cause am?

The cost of Jpes continuity vs the cost of missing out AGAIN....

ARGHGGHHHHHHH NFF

Deltamani:
🚨The dancing steps and smiles says it all for Zambia youngsters following their vital win over Morocco in the first leg, final round of the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup qualifying series.

Namute Chileshe (jersey no 10) scored a hat-trick as the Zambian side put the Moroccan team to the sword at home.

Zambia is now a southern african force in women's football. SA better watch it. I hope it's no fluke sha. That 3rd place match at wafcon must have gingered them

minfelix:
Next games till March 2025
Rwanda v Nigeria
Nigeria v Zimbabwe

September 2025
Nigeria V Rwanda
SA v Nigeria

October 2025
Lesotho v Nigeria
Nigeria v Benin
very very tight corner for Nigeria….SA or Benin might grab the ticket.

Well as mostob no gree me rest, we will need both of SA and Benini to not win 3games out of the remaining 6 to stand a chance.


From our end, it means winning all 3 of our next possible fixtures to shout "Land Hooo!"

Oh, GD aspect too. We will need absolutely to get +8 from those 3games, meaning averagely 3goals per game or more.


Another equation to consider would be beating anyone that SA or Benin beat by a higher margin.

SA win 4-0
NGR must win that same rival by 4+


All of these 3 equations will be in total jeopardy if Finidi is still the manager cos guy is just wearing Lab coat 🥼 here. Legend status is his shield. He's clueless and lacks self awareness of his crap when you consider this is not AFCON qualifiers but WCQ.

See how everyone forgot Onyedika had a great game because the coach wants to steal the entire shine with mediocre choices?!


2+2-4 currently.

forgiveness:
How can Onigbide who took Nigeria to the CAF finals be the worst coach? Can you please explain why?

I don even forget. Sorry

mostob:
Now is the time to bring out the calculator. I suggest we
nominate committee members for this course.

Dave, no be you graduated with first class in Mathematics
the other time? You will be the chairman.

Oga Oasis will be the Secretary. EEGA will be the Auditor
while Thegoodjoe will be the honourable representing
Tikitaka constituency.

No need to form any committee for this one. The handwriting on the wall is the summary report of the 'unmobilized' panel. Finidi is c'est fini.

Joebie:
Sports Minister summons NFF — OGN

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nff no sabi do job be dat. They have to be summoned before they can scrutinize their own choices🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

NFF dey use NFF TV for interview and them politicians but can't use the tv to show the match? They probably think because nff dey the name, it is their own tv🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
