iamoyindamola: Be calming dwn abeg To start with ranieri didn't take watford to relegation and all davep said is we should have more bodies in the box which is true because we are currently struggling in front of goal. Having more bodies will relieve useless for now auba his duties
Thank you. Finally someone that understands. He talks like Arteta is currently a Pep that's struggling to find feet this season.
I do say it and I'll say it again till season ends.
That dressing room meeting after the crystal palace game is the sole reason we are in top 6 currently. If that meeting between player and staff didn't happen, we'd be below 15th by now. That was the revelation that goals needs be scored rather than showboating.
Las las, We go dey alright. Watford lost, and honourably too. Everyone that saw that match knows a fight to the core was what Watford brought to the table.
For all of Claudio’s tactics he’s just 3 points above the relegation zone. Yet u say Na him tactics make Arteta adopt . This so claudio’s tactics didn’t get him a win against Arteta, even the watford vs Chelsea match u are using as reference point sef , they lost.
What is there to emulate in such team ? Shey make we dey play beautiful football make we dey lose Na wetin una enjoy ?
Some of u think football is like playing PES/FIFA when u get to do whatever u wish to do with ur opponent without they having a response for it. As if the other coach u will be facing has no game plan at all and ur own game plan must always work.
Shey coach wey no dey go all out to pack 6 to 7 players inside opponent box no know wetin he dey do ? Chelsea that was busy playing 15 corners against man utd with their players camped inside man utd’s box, we saw how it ended when a counter-attack happened .
Abeg if Na 10-1 formation go make us continue to enjoy good run of games I’m all in for it. Nothing concern me with how bottom team like watford dey play
Insatiable??
Lol
Asif you aren't. Abegiii
Your entire reply shows you missed the entirety of my point.
Can you just calm down and read between the lines and then understand??
Pls if you watch the match,study how many Arsenal Shirts are in opponents box 18 when a cross is about to be made.
That sums up the seasons poor goals returns.
Watford has 4 in Chelsea box every time there was to be a flank cross.
That produces 6 clear cut chances that made Tuchel scared. Watford lost but Arteta should be doing what Pa Claudio did to Tuchel, to other managers. That's what is called a fight. Not this sit back expecting to pounce thingy.
Then its Martinelli starting in Saka's place then. Any switch will see a false 9 activated. Auba takes the left and ESR goes central.
If Pepe starts,he might just get a goal. A laca down the centre too may win a pk. The issue is this usual lack of concentration from partey, lokonga. Bruno will capitalize.
If its cr7 vs Tomiyasu, its Bologna vs Juve all over again. And TT frustrated him from finding the next that night.
Its the snow I'm worried about most. Vision issue. Anyways, Arteta must avoid defeat. This man utd team no be here abeg
markfem2: If I am the Eagles coach, the following players will bid their farewell from the team Ekong Omeruo Shehu Collins Iwobi Simon Musa Iheanacho The aforementioned have nothing to offer the team.
As Coach, with two tournament upcoming, who are their replacement first?
mostob: The #factos i put there should tell you I was joking. .
But you made valid points. But i think with Pep, be would be more direct. Sterling was not this good at liverpool .
I got the joke actually. Pep will probably make him calmer and a predator, something in the mould of Mahrez or even better. But he gats have twice the patience of Nacho or e no go possible.
charlesemeka85: if dennis continues with his form i dont see him going down with watford if they eventually gets relegated. at worst a mid table epl team will snap him up
Winner coach Ranieri is definitely influencing his game too. He's too bold for someone that hasn't seen the EPL before.
Is pa Claudio applying the Vardy Manual to Dennis??
kendrick9: Dennis is Nigeria"s best striker ATM.. But no hype here probably cos he hasn't got paid hacks drumming his praise like the one in italy
That's 6 and 5 on striker duty. Not even his qualities for analysis yet. And he's doing this easily against the big teams, just like Odemwingie that year.
Danielnino00: It's almost the end of the week... Rohr is still at the wheels
Based on Colin Udoh tonight, there's been no official statement to put Rohr on hold from his job. Rohr has even submitted a 40man list for Afcon.
I hear that lots of potential coaches have been calling through however.
The team is truly a much more huger brand that we are seeing it. Hopefully a sane choice is made. Hopefully.
For now, its Rohr executing Afcon.
Some opine that he might be sacked before then and his replacement will use the AfCON as experiment in view of how to setup for WC. I laughed at this. But anything is possible with NFF. They might think this way.
Oasis001: We need to give a local Coach chance to manage the Team again. Jo is a big no for me. A Coach from eastern Europe also is a waste of time and resources.
Oasis001: My first Choice is Samson Siasia, but he's still serving Ban. He's an attack-minded Coach that plays good football.
I tell you. If NFF is serious, they can try a plea on his case. I don't know how possible is that. I just feel they've got such power IMO.
One thing is certain though, Discipline will be restored to the camp. So dem party riders, whether true or false, will have to align. Next is the business of exploiting opponents' weaknesses, an offshoot of studying them well individually. The tactics is the overall capping.
If only though.
Only i dunno who stubborn pass between him and Amodu.
But sincerely, asides cash wasting, is the time actually ripe for indigenous coaches? Just asking?
Africans need to begin to spend to uniquely make Africa African again. This time in such a way to attract respect and boundaries, the right kind of fear, too
But they are borrowing, piling up debts next two generations must clear, fighting corrupt democrats only to turn out dictators, evil and senile, amassing wealth in uniforms and the ceremonial OAU and whatever ones exist are just there for camaraderie and pic album compilations in hallowed chambers.
Mikel was class, a Gem at U20, so unfortunate Mou turns him to a DM. If we are to be sincere with ourselves, none of our present players is a top player, perhaps slightly above average (Ndidi).
Jez checked the Clip and see how Eagles should be dominating Matches. Off ball Movement, transitions, fluidity and so on. Rohr is assembling average Squad, persuading rejected foreign Borns to play for us and we are celebrating it - but at expense of developing and exporting our local Talents.
Watch Siasia U20 Team, watch how we played at Olympic under same Siasia, and you gonna see the Truth. It's so boring tactically nowadays with Eagles. Nothing spectacular with Teamplay, rather hoping on luck to score Goals and win Matches.
Rohr has to go, but I prefer a tactically sound local Coach to take over. Gonna give Amuneke a chance - 2yrs Contract, if I am responsible for the Appointment of next Coach.
Their Midfield is so scared they left the pressing to their second striker while the choke the DM position. Feints and passes like a Cazorla/Ozil combo
As for Amuneke, these pride of Elephants in charge no go wan willingly do it even if he seem the best bet right now. At least, like Amodu, years, the dressing room talk at half time will be more homely and productive. Only other option is a better tactician than amuneke and not some European wannabe that doesn't even get press attention for tactical prowess.
TheGoodJoe: It is not true. He hardly had the chance and the European coaches were wicked. A good example was during Chelsea's Europa League I think Semifinals. Benitez told David Luiz to play defensive midfield and wanted to experiment with Mikel in the creative midfield role.
Davild Luiz left his role and took the creative midfield role. Mikel had to sit to defend the team and criticised Luiz for that move after the game.
What did Benitez do? Punished Mikel by benching him in the final. If it was a White kid, it won't happen.
i remember this clearly. One match i laughed but mikel kept his cool. Chai.
