I would have said same words if I was in Victor shoes

This 1994 set think they own the super eagles or they love Nigeria better than the current crop of players where as the few amongst them who later become coaches have gone kill our national team oliseh and now Equeavon

This men won't rest they see the super eagles as birth right and when you give them to manage they'll kill the team their mates elsewhere are making progress and managing football federations here none of them is even state FA chairmen all they do is to criticise and when u ask them to coach the outdated 1994 philosophy is all they have upstairs

BascoVanVeli:
Yes I have and if u don't think that goal was lucky u need glasses

BascoVanVeli:
We dominated possession and we had way more shots on target. What else could the coach do Did he tell Uzoho not to catch that back Pass It is ridiculous to blame the coach after that performance.

BascoVanVeli:
Just f*cking unlucky

TheGoodJoe:
To Eguavoen, I hope you can see your handwork. I refused o write about this until after the playoffs. You want to satisfy big men. I hope you have satisfied them.

How someone of your Calibre can stop so low to allow politicians dictate your list is embarrassing.

Odunayaw:
Whaaaaat? You weren't expecting Genius from Amuneke?

TheGoodJoe:

A big congratulations to Ghana and I hope they do us proud at the World Cup. Congea again to them.

safarigirl:
He should be talking about that, so that they understand the importance of even showing up at a World Cup

He has been there and done that. So many of them on that team cannot say same and he is reminding them what is at stake, E be like to qualify no dey do them again.

They should go back and rewatch that Haram football they subjected over 20 million people to on Friday, so they can see what boredom really looks like.

Danielnino00:
In my opinion, the lack of enough personnel in midfield really affected our overall play... There were times when our wingers and fullbacks got the ball but didn't know what to do cus there was nobody to pass it to.. There was no coordination between Bonke and Aribo at all..at the AFCON, Aribo worked better with Ndidi..

TheGoodJoe:

He is starting. He lacks the badges and experience for such role yet. However, as a fitness coach and working directly with the team, he will learn a lot about coaching the Super Eagles.

You do not know if he has weighed the career path of Africans in Europe and seen they hardly ever get to the top.

Maybe he wants to focus on Super Eagles where if he is good, he can rise.

TheSuperNerd:
This dude, whoever he is, really got us figured out. But my hope is the addition of Emmanuel Amunike.

Everything he said is true but I like that they think we would approach that game with "one tactic" alone. I trust Eguavoen won't make the same tactical mistake (unless he intends to fall hands again).
They should be in for a surprise if Amunike works his tactical magic.

March is just next month. Time will tell.

another apeteshi analyst from Ghana.

TheGoodJoe:

You do not make changes like that. When Tunisia scored, the commentator said against the run of play. We were working on breaking the organization of the defense of the Tunisians before the goal came in.

No coach will make an early change when his team is in control of the game.

TheGoodJoe:

If you understand football, you will know football has other factors than win or lose. Manchester city was to win Southampton yesterday. I think we hit the bar three times. Sadiq's last shot was to enter. He did every thing right. The chance to Moses was clean. He missed his touch. Ndidi had a chance to bury from range but miscued his shot. There were other chances.

That is beyond the skill of the coach.

By the way, we did not play Sexy football. I wonder where you guys got this notion from. Eguavoen is strictly an offensive coach. Little time for style. Very direct with longball.

So I wonder what lesson you think he was to learn when you do not even get how we played.

TheGoodJoe:

How is he tactically inept? Eguavoen with a man down took the game to them and showed them a good game. Na wa.

Our pressure came from tactical switches. If there is any thing you want to criticise, it is not tactics.

Mujtahida:
Where did you see energy bro. We were limp from the first blast of the whistle.

TheGoodJoe:

If you are truthful to yourself, you will know we were clearly the better side.

TheGoodJoe:

Shot on goal does not paint the true picture of play.

forgiveness:
By changing tactics in the first half, we could have.

TheGoodJoe:

Just say you did not watch the match and your looking at stats from a website. If you did, you will not make this statement.

forgiveness:
But too late. We ought to have buried the game in the first half.

TheGoodJoe:

I heard this outsmarting from the panel and I asked someone a question? How smart were they? We had loads of chances to take the game. Eguavoen actually outsmarted them, not the other way around. Even with a man down, we kept creating chances. We were just unfortunate. I think the Tunisian's are getting more praise than they deserve.

Congratulations they won but they were totally outplayed as far as I am concerned.

charlesemeka85:
or T&T

SeunWedsLinda:
that is a 4-1-4-1 formation with ndidi playing as a lone defensive midfielder. Something he's already used to at Liecester

Danielnino00:
I'm not sure of this lineup... The midfield is lean...

komekn:
Egypt is considerably better than Morocco undoubtedly.

We are not going to out pass Egypt, we either try to contain them and hit them on the break, that means with blistering pace as a strategy.

You need intelligent players to do that , funny enough for me the best CB for that is Awaziem, and Balogun he Awaziem should not be playing as a RB or we will get roasted.

Zaidu against Sala will see him pick up a yellow at least , you need intelligence and some pace to deal with Salah. Zaidu lacks intelligence.

Onyeka is a water carrier who can keep running all 90 minutes , Ndidi the same hard working but don't expect innovation and creativity from them. You will have to leave that for Aribo plus end product and he will work hard too. Later in Aribo can be subbed for Iwobi.

Why because our Midfield is going to be working over time. And it's only for very fit players.

Up front it will get ugly and so physicality will be needed , because none of the current young pretenders have blistering pace, so bullying and roughing be them up will have to do. And that's what I will expect from Awoniyi.

Chukwueze doesn't work hard enough or back track's to help in defence and flatters to decieve, very little end product. I want to believe Ejuke is better, that he can cross the ball accurately for Awoniyi. And so playing both wings I will have Musa with option to be subbed later in the games by either Olyinka or

We don't have strength in depth, we do need Ighalo but it seems he is missing.

komekn:
Why do you say Ekong is not good enough.

Dubious use of VAR
