I don’t understand

Vardy closest to osimhen ? Meaning we can now compare top strikers to osimhen who is not yet there ?

Some comments na to just read and pass

Dere are levels to dis stuff

When will eagles release dier 40man list going to afcon?

Read S.A coach has also released his 40man list squad dt will watch d afcon with him @home

jihday:
it is not about foreign or local but getting a competent coach. Since 2000 we’ve only made 2 Afcon finals 1 foreign 1 local, failed to qualify for 2 Afcon courtesy of local coaches, failed to qualify for 1 World Cup courtesy of a local coach. We need a competent coach, we don’t need to be shouting local every time. it’s not like they’ve been spectacular for us

Same.as foreign too..so jihday abeg rest on foreign..I av later conclude dt if we can't settle for a grade A foreign coach,den it's better we stick to our locals..dey re d same when it comes to result achievement so far..no difference,so y waste tax payer money over what u can get here..its DT simple

decent football knowledge but not modern enough to me

Made a lot of reference on resurrecting our traditional wing play and expansive football which I hinted on few days ago nothing more nothing less

Was expecting to hear the tactical input that may be required if the opponent thwart our traditional game play but didn’t get any, may be that will be addressed when need be

There is another point he made which I concur and noticed as one of the issues bedeviling the team for some time now, lack of physical imposing players as we use to have before. I know many will argue that it’s irrelevant but in the African scene it’s goes a long way in helping team must especially the least rated teams.like he said physique mixed with technique and speed will be 100%


With what eguavoen said in the video with regards of how he wants his midfielders to play I think iwobi will be a jewel to him because the Everton man doesn’t shy away from getting the ball or making spaces for opening but very good at one touch football and long passes

On the other side ndidi will learn a lot from the coach because I believe from the video that he has few things ndidi needs to add to his game

Also as a coach who loves his full backs up the pitch aina will definetely shine under him

With his emphasis on physicality d likes of amoo even to some extent simon, won't really have a chance..d saving Grace for d likes of chidera,chuks, and maybe amoo is DT dey av d technique (football brain to cover up 4 dier small size)

Meanwhile he addressed d area when he said if d oppt thwart his wing play plans..dey go direct by attacking as a unit and defending as unit using d Bulgaria match as an example.
But I think he believes with dis set of players we shld be able to use d indirect method (dictate and dominate the games thru d wings and attack each spaces created by d opponent)
Although all those ones b English.. Let c is team play first

TheGoodJoe:

Nice video. It got a chance to give us a glimpse into Coach Eguavoen's understanding of the game. I wish he went a bit deeper into the tactical side of things but it showed he has a good grasp of the game.

One thing I liked about the video was getting to understand Zonal tactics. I have tried to understand it but Eguavoen did Justice in the video.

One thing we should expect is an improvement in our build up play.

We are going to play in an expansive pattern with our wingers gumming the offensive end.

Eguavoen wants flair and directness. I think he is going to go hard on Ndidi. He will want Ndidi to do more with ball and dictate play.

He might get something off Iwobi. He likes his creative midfielders operating from the deep.

One problem I had with the video is that a lot of the tactics he talked about relies on what the opponents bring to us. Which is we will play responsively.

He also did not talk about if we will press in our play.

Verdict:
I still feel Eguavoen is bringing some old school touch to the team. He believes we already have a strong blueprint and players that can fit into it.

I would prefer a more modern principle approach but Eguavoen has a closer understanding of the team.

Our coming style:
Eguavoen will want us to play a possessive and direct pattern.

Meaning we will use clever fluid play to break the shape of the opposition and exploit the spaces with speed, technique and intelligence.

I hope we know more from him but it was nice of Eguavoen to reach out to the public with what to expect.

Much respect Sir.

The tactical man has spoken

Guys

Check out Eguavon Analysing the Eagles over time. He appears to be technically sound.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ey5KcdrfvaM

@thegoodjoe,Mr tactics and odas..let's watch dis eguavoen analysis and rate him

humility33:
Pinnick is just a politician that barely understand and knows football

He does not even know how to look out for a coach with his assistants and technical team instead he went to Mouriho to recommend one of his country men for the super eagles. He didnt even meet renowed football consultants or interview array of interested foreign coaches

Well if I were to b pinnick I would av chilled till after d afcon tourney and c what d coaching crew can offer,style of play and d likes...if dey re convincing with deir style of play and pleasing to d fans..I will give eguavoen a two year contract,however pinick is not ready to gamble on DT,cos DT might dashed his wish of employing a foreign coach cos he knows dt if d team does well Cameroon,it will b too difficult on him to impose a foreign coach for d eagles

andrewbaba44:
So it’s only a Dutch German and Brazilian that can make a team utilize their attacking strength ?

He also played as a striker during his days

jihday:
he also resigned as Venezuela coach in august because he had not been paid for about 1 year

Maybe dis is one of d major qualities Dt got him d job...ability to be owed wout complaining... Very crucial to nff

Who is Jose peserio,our new foreign coach according to owngoal ?

do4luv14:
the guy is an Angolan, it was Jose wife that is Portuguese

DTS d oda way round..mourinho is Portuguese ,na him wife b Angolan

Ppogbae:
There is nothing amazing about Algeria's win. Just look at the teams in the tournament. That's why their ranking is barely moving up.

Well deres no assurance dt we would av lifted the trophy if we had participated. Remember some of dier big names were missing too..dis is to show u aw good d team is

All dis my source ,abeg make we here word jare

charlesemeka85:
source bros no vex

Its just d same comical source of yours

Samueltemi337:
Calvin bassey wanted by Atletico Madrid

Dis guy

Meanwhile shey anybody don c d 40man list

charlesemeka85:
you are very stupid and common sense no mk u knw say em suppose get person wey go Dey handle em social media handles?

The same common sense Dey very expensive for you to afford wey mk u no knw say as a professional and public figure no be every trash em suppose Dey post?

Well I believe he would overcome dt soon,na just d normal youth stuff... Same way u read your 7/8 years old Facebook post and shake ur head saying "shey na me post dis one too"

I am hoping to c names like anjorin,amoo,nwakali,Rabiu alli(yeh,who throw me stone)...in d 40man list

minfelix:
Qatar and Saudi Arabia are the only Serious ball playing nations in that tournament, the rest are ekuke

Shey Iran no partake in dis tournament?
Dey are also a strong footballing nation in Asia too...I remembered d team in 2014,dey almost defeated us and it took messi brilliance to defeat dem narrowly

Samueltemi337:
So my source told me this is Augustine Eguavoen line up


ndidi playing defence


no more old legs

Dis one go just come from no where dey yan okoto

PurpleHouse:
If CAF cancles AFCON, then they'll forever be pupets to European football and FIFA. Didnt EURO just finished? Why didnt they cancle it?

Not only euros..d ongoing FIFA Arab cup nko?

If dey fear caf/Cameroon won't handle d logistics well den dey can move d competition to Qatar..simple

Truidstar:
we don hear..abeg wen dem wan release 40 man list?

To me..d 40man list is not necessary except if mandated by caf....d NFF should just go straight to d 28man list..time no dey again

Add microbiology to it

E b like say village ppu dey follow nacho o

Y b say na when afcon dey approach he stops playing games for his club making him inactive ,same thing happened in '19 ,now 22 ..I hope dis won't affect his chances sha

Oasis001:
We need real 10 in the Squad. Real Playmaker who can dictate the Game. New Coaching Crew should do their best to get at least 2 natural 10, regardless of League as far as they are talented.


Ain't a Fan of Nwakali, but would rather give him chance than begging Olise to play for us. That Dude even seems overrated, cos I've not seen his (audio) playmaking at Palace.

Lol ,audio play making

@jihday look at something

humility33:
Don't mind them...I will agree he go speaks to the likes of Amoo and Olise instead and see their possible inclusion and not one lazy player in segunda B

Aw many players we kan get for dt position wet amoo and nwakali won't make d 40man list...but making d final 28man list b d koko

darkelf:
Exactly

Someone is saying we shouldn't believe

See, where those three are involved, I will believe it

Because it is showing in their play

We can do without all of them. In fact, there are many players who are literally waiting for them to misbehave and to be shown the door so they can deservedly take their spot

Please someone should even point to a notable contribution of Kelechi Iheanacho and Omeruo to our teams qualification. Point to one substantial thing they did. Anyone?

Well maybe because of d types of players involved in dt scandal is making most of dem not to believe...if to say na like shehu,musa and simon wey majority no wan c again for d team,maybe dem go believe d news

TheGoodJoe:


I repeatedly told people I want Barcelona to sack Rijkaard in favor of a rookie coach Guardiola who was coaching the Barcelona B team.

People then used to tell me, "How can you even say such a thing?"

Why? Rijkaard had a nice CV but I preferred Guardiola because of his philosophy. So I don't want to hear about how many courses a coach has done. I want to know how he views the game and what are his ideas of the game.

That is what I use to judge my coaches. Not courses and camps.

Where's dt rijkaard self... Y is he not even considered for any top job or any decent team all dis years... He has been silent all dis while

Mujtahida:
Bro if na woman be that blogger they can create smoke without fire ooo just out of spite.

Not saying that the story is true or false oo but many of these Nigerian bloggers are fiction writers oo.

Those allegations are too weighty for one to just wake up and begin to type nonsense

Dey re not accusing some1 like me,na stars we dey dey talk abt here..so I repeat..it doesn't make any sense using such a story as "cruise"


I would even suggest NFF investigate d matter privately....and if d stories comes out true,den d trio shld be excused from d nations cup..we don't need distraction at d main event.. Like what happened in 04'

jihday:
until I see video I’m not believing this crap

Bro deres no smoke wout fire..4 no reason ,one would wake up and cook up dis story to dent d image of d three players for no reason...it doesn't make any sense,if false ,dey would av sued d person behind dis story

To buttress dis story.. Pinnick dis morning with channels TV thru a phone call interview confirmed dt one of d reasons y rohr was sacked was because he "completely" lost d dressing room, saying further dt a lot happened behind d scene,d public wasn't aware of
