He is an overrated player

We won't miss him

I am also happy Osimhen would likely miss AFCON. His injuries have not healed and I dn't want him to end his promising career
Let him rest. There's always another 2 years

Meanwwhile -

Algeria - 1st

Senegal-2nd

Tunisis/Mrocco - 3rd/4th (interchangeable)

Tessyy1701:
It is safe to say this Afcon is for Guinea or Sudan or nobody

semid4lyfe:
The release of the 40 - man provisional list submitted by Rohr to CAF has exposed Eguavoen to be "shady" .

Also, I question his decision making and I feel like Rohr we'll be shocked & disappointed with his team selection.

Personally, I am glad he won't be in charge after the AFCON.

SerVik:
Not even an issue of announcing, the whole appointment should have been done after the tournament. If you appoint him without making the announcement, it might backfire after the tournament cos imagine if Eguavoen wins the trophy then few days later a new coach is announced, you'll be the first person to criticize it.

TheGoodJoe:


The point is the effect on the team. You can argue that they will want to prove themselves to the new manager but the genuine message is that Eguavoen is not coach. Which is not the message to send before the competition when Eguavoen is leading them to the competition.

TheGoodJoe:

But white Rohr can be trusted.

forgiveness:
NFF deliberately appointed a coach before the AFCON because in eventuality Eguavoen wins it, it will be difficult to appoint a Foreign coach, this is what NFF is trying to avoid.

andrewbaba44:
We are yet to employ a new coach nah

Eguavoen is only an interim coach

andrewbaba44:
Where did I ever said musa and shehu are making impact to this team

I have always been against those 2 ,I remember some of them here telling me that they are old members of the team and can’t be dropped ,well they should stop ranting and move on as many of them once supported shehu and musa

What line should eguavoen had follow ? He is an interim coach and after Afcon he will be gone

Maybe eguavoen should have called lord Calvin bassey and Lionel lookman and ebuehi alves to make you guys happy

TheGoodJoe:


I hope you know Eguavoen does not even have time for a friendly match. He has to work with what is on ground. So he can not make too much changes few weeks to he AFCON.

Let us be realistic. You can not just dump the captain.

Eguavoen has explained that he will work with the team on ground due to time. That is the only solution.

andrewbaba44:
Everybody cannot go to afcon

The strikers there self are too much

Na just love Una get for Ebuehi ,he only recently started 2 games and did well ,rohr didn’t call him on his recent squad before he was sacked so I don’t know why you guys are acting surprised

The only reason I want Ebuehi is ahead of shehu abdulahi and that’s all

Calvin bassey rohr no play am when e call am ,so make una cool down

PurpleHouse:
Is Lookman cleared or NOT?

ChrisKels:
Lookman took the Merseyside rivalry personal

ChrisKels:
Recipe for disaster.

Watch out for Olisah Ndah, he is the real deal

Philosopher1979:
According to Punch newsPaPPers, Nff wants
to aPPoint another foreign coach next week.
Nff are fond of doing the right thing the wrong way.
We dont need a foreign coach
Also, we may sign another Rohr like contract with him and
so the contract has to be scrutinized by the sPorts minister before we get into trouble.

THE PROBLEM WITH FOREIGN COACHES.
They don't understand our native style of Play and how to interPrete it in
the light of modern football.
A foreing coach will not address our Problem of lack of creative midfielders
Such a coach will not use alhassan yusuf, nwakali etc and then invite onuachu and musa to the team.
Another Problem is he will be too exPensive for us.
If we appoint a foreing coach before the nations cup we are not going anywhere
Our problem is that we need a coach who understands our style of football and can interprete it for
us so as to get the best results.
They should leave Eguavon there and if they need a change, Amunike will be better
The tragedy of European coaches is that they try and force an alien style of play on Africans and it
does not work.
Westerhoof is one of the few foreign coaches that really understood us.
Also, a foreign coach in the next 1 week will not understand our football.
He will play our players out of position.
the problem with Africans in general is that we do not embrace our originality which is unique
and with which we can conquer the world. That is exactly what happened with the usa 94 team.
We did not care that Stoichkov was in Barcelona and Bulgaria were one of the best teams in the world.
We simply expressed ourselves properly
WE DONT NEED A FOREIGN COACH FOR NOW!!!

andrewbaba44:
What’s the difference between you and a racist ?

Ekong and balogun will still make that team for your info

IDENNAA:
We don't need anymore CDM/CM. We are very shorthanded in the AM position. Why are we stacking the team with DM,CM , CDM ? We need a highly technical AM!

Icon4s:
Rather than making use of these games to prepare the Super Eagles for the WCQ Amaju is busy organizing International friendlies with the NPFL boys.
What does he want to achieve with these home based players for God's sakes?

This guy needs to be stopped. He obviously doesn't know what he is doing anymore.

BascoVanVeli:
Grown men telling bold face lies. So u didn't see the team get Anayo two early chances that were blocked? How did that happen? Did the ball magically appear on his feet? U didn't see the calm passing in the midfield? Anthony Shimaga the number 4 especially. The goalkeeper making saves that would have been goals against Cameroon then Anayo blowing past the Mexicans and getting to the byline at will only to be let down by his final ball. The red card he should have won Only a pure hater will say they saw absolutely nothing in that game. Yes they collectively were bad but u could see the positives if u cared to look.

BascoVanVeli:
Nobody has been on this thread fighting for any home base please stop spreading this fake narrative.
They were not given an opportunity. They were used for a money grab.

BascoVanVeli:
I will maintain that I saw some good things. The goals were embarrassing though.

BascoVanVeli:
That means we shouldn't respect any professional in Nigeria because they sure don't have the same training and learning environment as those abroad. Let's just blow up the country and start afresh.

Maybe some of us hate on these guys because they are enjoying their local careers more than us. The hate for the local player seems like a spawn of jealousy.
The bolded above is why I don't engage in discussion online.. not your first time. Kindly free your heart from this trouble of insecurity. Always endeavour to always have a clean discourse eschew of negativity. I am only against the corrupt system in our local football administration that has limited the growth of football development and infrastructure. Read to understand always

Subzero047:
That goal was partly Ekong's fault, how can an experienced defender clear a ball to the front of his 18yard box? He just set up an assist for Anguisa

BascoVanVeli:
There is no difference between what the super eagles just played and what Enyimba played against that Egyptian team. If John Noble conceded that goal we would be hearing that no NPFL player should ever touch a football.

BascoVanVeli:
Poor selection by the Enyimba coach plus stage fright from the attackers. The same player made the crucial mistake in both matches.

BascoVanVeli:
My thoughts on Enyimba's do or die match against pyramid FC of Egypt. U already know I will be optimistic so don't come and be calling me over patriotic abeg

Philosopher1979:
Just finished watching enyimba vs rivers united and I saw really good football. Iwuala is a good winger. Nelson ogbonaya good defender etc. There are good players in npfl

Picked a little injury in the warmup
