Xhaka flop, we call him out
Same for Laca and Cedric and Nuno. E reach Odegaard and Partey you want to make it look like they weren't a big part of that problem?


Anyways, that asides, we are in a prime position of the season where the GD is going to be a painful decider of last minute scenarios, and as such we should be trying all to step up in that aspect. We have two games before Chelsea to do just that. We need those numbers. We really do. Conte has already taken up the reins vos he knows whats ahead in terms of fixtures. 15 to 10.... Same Points.

If na Defenders we go score most, no p.


Formation wise, Arteta will have to depend fully on 3man defence till Yasu comes back. Xhaka is a big aspect of our middle this season. The Commentator affirmed that ESR didn't know his position and place to play when Xhaka took LB and ESR took Xhaka position. Arteta had to shout from the Sidelines but it was not working. Thus Lokonga.


Seems this is where Elneny comes in, im afraid.

Odunayaw:
Reading your comment before seeing the picture, I thought I was going to see one egoistic tirade by Eguavoen. Alas, I'm disappointed.

He hasn't said anything bad

He hasn't? I hear you. Be applying European Football atmosphere here o.

caprikon:
I think he believes he's own hype.

Keshi and Amodu are in a class of their own when it comes to local coaches.

Let him take up a job in a different country, instead of waiting to pounce on vacancies in Nigeria. Amuneke and Oliseh have worked outside Nigeria with some measure of success. He should do same.

They didn't talk this much.

ChrisKels:
I thought war bids would be flying around for world best IGHALO considering the clueless and yes-sir man EGUAVOEN and his crew didn’t consider AWONIYI worthy of a place in their ill-fated WC playoff squad.

Imagine the the serial failure of a coach not having the balls to feature WORLD BEST IGHALO over two legs. Who does that??

As soon as Ighalo was subbed in that match, I knew it was over.

Cc Mahmud Shuaibu

Chris stop making look like Ighalo is the problem. See how all of them were playing like some 3rd leg exist somewhere. Only Leon and Victor played with urgency and it pained them the most. Is Ighalo the problem? See how ordinary Dennis looked too. Cos no symmetry among these guys.

This guy has dethroned Oliseh on this ego throne. What's he feeling like? He should goan do what Finidi is doing first. No be SE una go come dey experiment World War 1 Theory abeg.

"He's just reserved in camp. Abeg free him"

AndSunGorilla:
We can't afford him and he doesn't want to be owed.

7bn no be small money true true.


I think this desperation of who to appoint has lack of funds at the fore.

BlueRayDick:
Lmao....because of this one match?

Just chill, he will leave the farmer's league and get a shot at cementing a place at Arsenal backline. When that time comes we will revisit this discussion.

His errors were school boy errors. Saliba barely has that this season. Don't act like we both don't admit he's having an excellent season abeg.

It's not cos of one match.

BlueRayDick:
Nketiah that came on in the second half had a better game by far compared to Lacazette.

Evidently.

Still no goal.

I stopped watching at 70.

Sleeping midfield giving Gabriel the job of distribution. See White? Saliba pass am.

I agree with Mostob

Coaching is the palava

14managers in how many years!!

Okay if the players from local league start coming back to NT, who will make all of them click? Or it's going to be another packing of individual talents without cohesion, philosophy and team play?

One annoying thing is those shouting for local players have been doing so since 2004 yet they can't even add one inch to making that idea become reality. Meaning we are still going to be stuck with problems.


Before Npfl can recover enough to be a blueprint for the NT, the next president of Nigeria would have finished his tenure. Can we wait that long? Na to just tell everybody to forget football and maybe Start watching Israel Adesanya and Usman.

See Amokachi's myopic statements? Inferring that the SE is a dumping ground that would give them star status.
To see coach to even make that come true join, na Wahala.

The obsession with fire brigade approach has to stop. We only want to keep qualifying, but 1500% on luck since 2013. Soon the qualifiers would start evading us if we don't go back to the drawing board and adapt as other national teams are with the modern game.

Will Patrick Vieira be quite a steal for the Super Eagles job?

Mateta giving Arteta Wahala

Odegaard caught off guard



ESR can't play Xhaka's role. E no easy.


I think Partey and Odegaard are not in this game. Both given out most error passes from both teams combined already and it's barely 60mins.

This guy to watch...

Records are meant to be broken. It's a sign of premium progress!

It's sad records by The Yak and Osaze Odemwingie are still standing. Lol. One good reflection of our football in over 12yrs.

Copied:
Yakubu Aiyegbeni

First African to score a UEFA Champions League hat trick (2002)

Most Premier League hat tricks for an African (4)

Youngest African to score a UEFA Champions League hat trick (19 years)

Top Nigerian PL scorer (95)



Of course, if e easy, do am. But these guys made it look easy.

Warris happening??

andrewbaba44:
This one is busy throwing jibe at abroad born players ,you will think our home based players are the best or even dominating chan or wafu tournaments

Imagine this one as super eagles coach ,then it’s finished

lol

Three in One.


These are obvious in the Bible. But confused lots don't want to believe in it. Their own cup of chilled water.

First, Christians fast more than Muslims, but as scriptures said, people must not know they are even fasting, cos the Pharisees did this. They were hypocrites. Some Christians are currently on 70days. Some 90 days. You can't even know unless they say it. No fuss about it all over.

Secondly, in the Holy Bible, again, God said observing fasts had become so routinous, yet his people were far from him and sinful despite all the fasting.

Finally, Jesus Christ emphasized the heart over any religious routine. This is seen in the story of the Publican vs The Pharisees.

The heart is more important. If the heart is right with God, and that fellow doesn't fast, there is no problem at all.

The demoniacs fast as well. The occultics and mediums, spiritists too. It is an exercise to focus the mind on the spiritual level. It however is not the only way to do such.

Choose a Front Three...
Me:Sanchez Henry Pires

The energy is going to be lethal. All three are energy and fierce.

Happy New Month Gunners!!

TheSuperNerd:
You guys took a gamble already with a dinosaur in Egauvoen and una still dey here. That was the first mistake made after sacking Rohr.

Abeg make we complete this sentence properly.


It's why I kept using the Buhari/Osinbajo parallel since that loss and I'll use it again.


You guys includes You


Point of corrections

Dinosaurs yes!!!
And that includes EA!!!
Don't minus his name abeg.

He too na Dinosaur. He was there throughout every piece of tactical deliberation, unlike Osinbajo that was allegedly locked out on some occasions.


So while 'we' took a gamble with AE, it's you that want to take a shadow gamble with EA.


Dinosaurs abeg!! Let's leave it that way.


That crew had nothing noteworthy on their CV.

komekn:
I don't agree with you.

Over two legs we struggled to score with our superior strike force and Midfield.

I watched Mohammed Kudus of Ajax turn is inside out.

On the day the Ghanaian Midfield was more inventive than ours , Mohammed Kudus in particular stood out.

It's no use crying over spilled milk, we defeated ourselves we did not prepare strategically and lacked cohesion.

One thing that is baffling Awoniyi didn't get invited but Sadiq did Bundesliga Vs Segunda Division.

There was nothing superior about their midfield on both legs. They didn't even plan to frustrate like the Tunisian did at Afcon. It was just speed and belle face plus expecting mistakes.

Odunayaw:
Lookman had some nice deliveries tho

Minus the new faces in the team, it's a big NO ONE.

TheSuperNerd:
Firstly it's Amunike or Amuneke NOT Aminuke.

And you, what did you learn? What tactical solution did you profer to our persisting Midfield problem?? Point me to just one.

Amunike pops up because he has the tactical acumen to address our tactical deficiencies as a team but how would you know that when you were also among those who stood by the idiotic and myopic stance of "If it ain't broken, don't fix it" when I pointed out that our MF problem persisted even after our 1-0 win over Egypt.

Abeg... if you don't have a substantive discussion to make, no dey hide under cheap and empty statements like "una no dey learn" backed by nothing but vibes and inshallah.

Unless you're saying AE put hot loafs in his throat throughout their bromance with this team, then I can't take it as you say it. I don't want to believe he was stifled from expressing this acumen in the games they handled together. Give take, benefit of doubt on this is 20-80.
We don Taya. For all we know, this is just going to be another gamble. Are we ready for it?


Cos if he fails we all will refer to his time with AE and talk of handwriting on ogiri.

Maybe Klopp is his own Idol Sha. AE say Guardiola Asif all of us no dey watch him week in week out.


With the way things are right now, I doubt his name will be in the mix for the job.

This Amuneke talk no dey Taya you. 2023, 2025, 26.... And we want to repeat mistake again? He was good at Cadet level. We all know it's not the same as Senior level, even if he knows 900% of the boys from that year. We need someone to come instill a system and plug up this setpieces deficiency, and have great knowledge of how to use subs to make or mar a game.


When was the last time we had a sub coming on to do a miracle in all Competition in last few years?

Who is even the best crosser of the ball in GWG? Like when in GWG shirt. It's only Aina. The last best crosser is VicMo. How many years away from GWG and a replacement can't even surface? And AE was playing 442 Asif he had 4 Barnes/TAA on the Pitch??

BascoVanVeli:
Iheanacho delivers again

Fine header

I swear. But we don't have a Barnes in the GWG. Besides nobody trust anything to deliver such dangerous crosses. Simon will stand where Barnes was and be looking like Palomo.


We may have Osimhen, but having Nacho as CF in GWG may just be an advantage than the role he was given behind the striker. His numbers there are not good one bit.

Danielnino00:
As in...
We won a corner late in the game and had Osimhen, Sadiq and Ighalo in the box.. Simon now played the corner low...I was annoyed...

just vibes and inshallah. Cos no technique, no smartness, just luck. Always luck. Talents are too scarce to come by to be wasted like this.

caprikon:
The most important thing is whether the cockiness matches the actual ability.

The examples you gave buttress that point.

Fury is a generational talent and yeah, he is cocky... can we say the same about Samuel Peter?

Some talk in the ring
Some talk outside the ring
Some don't talk atall
While some talk everywhere like legend Muhammad Ali!!

Las las elemi lol ma last.

Samueltemi337:
Wikipedia don give us coach

14handlers in 16yrs. Omo!!!

Sack here and there.

JohnBullMySon:
I did not say Amuneke would be the coach oh. I said assistant.

And besides, It's not as if I rate Amuneke. I just didn't know who else to write. The side gig coach was my main point in the contribution.

Sha throway am with the bath and water. We wan begin do that salisu thing with him and yobo?

None of them look like they made any positive progress for themselves or the team. Just wearing green and white joggers acting busy.

I complained about the setpieces thing before COVID-19 started. Lol and behold, Arsenal got a setpieces expert and have transformed the team in that aspect alone.

We can't even pretend like these things are magic or impossible to implement when the North African teams have such specialists and it's obvious in their games.


I guess someone just doesn't see the need to spend money despite the big cash coming in sometimes.

Mujtahida:
I was on Twitter and more Ghanaians than Nigerians hosted Twitter spaces and were quite boastful.
Eguavoen never fails to stress the need to be respectful of the opposition. It even appears to be his trademark.

Ghana with a weak team, boasted and qualified. So abeg it's not by boastings or by being humble. When you win, you win. When you lose, you lose. There are far more concrete reasons why we lost than this wishy - washy postulations on humility and pride.

Thank you o.


One good example is in boxing. The boasting or not is no big decider.

Sam Peter:I'll cut down this tree(to Klitschko)

We know who fell like flower


Tyson Fury: by the time I'm done with ya, you won't know what hit ya

He won



Nigeria has always used that stale line of respecting opponents Asif it's a thing in football. I just see it as Insurance for failure which has been with the team due to complacency.
