That has always been the rule.

I see! Hehehe! This one na do or die for training ooo.

The groupings were done based on FIFA Ranking. Nigeria was in pot 2 of which we could have played against any of CIV, Algeria, Ghana, Capeverde, Cameroun, Burkina Faso, Senegal, DRC, Guinea, Egypt, Tunisia, Zambia etc. So, we could nt really have had an easier group. We put our selves in that situation of being in pot2 by the poor string of results achieved in the later days of Keshi.

As for the Law suit. I see it as a mission in futility. Except the NFF wants to contact you as their Lawyer.

Our only hope is for FIFA to ban Egypt from international competitions as they are currently going through crisis in their Football Federation.

How soon?

NRIPRIEST:
Juwon Oshaniwa played that LB position at the WC(of which he performed below average according to my assessment) because we have no other option. The guy sef no sabi trap ball!

We had Taye Taiwo but Stephen Keshi will not because of his personal ego. Juwon Oshaniwa no be am but as at now he is far better than Amuzie. No sentiment.

TheGoodJoe:

Victor Moses, aerial threat from where? How many goals in his whole careers has he called.

You can not call everyone to camp. This is because of we had only three days to work with the professionals.

So if you are analysing who we would have called, then you are neglecting a big part of the challenges the coaches faced. Time constraint.

There was no time to invite 42 foreign professionals to camp and get them ready in two days for the match.

As for Ighalo, how many times do you see him score goals with his head this season. There are people who are gifted with their heads. I do not see Ighalo as one.

With the players we had on ground, crossing was not an option. If your advising that we should have used crosses due to players we did not invite, then I wonder what you are suggesting.

Bros, Victor Moses scored with his head when he was in Chelsea fc. In fact, he scored one with back facing the goal post.

Ighalo scored with his head in the Premier League even if he is not good at that, why did the coach ignored the one that is good with his head.

A coach good will know we are under pressure to win Egypt hence he devices many options.

Icon4s:
Each nation must submit a squad of 18 players, 15 of which must be born on or after 1 January 1993, and 3 of which can be older dispensation players, by August 4th 2016. A minimum of two goalkeepers (plus one optional dispensation goalkeeper) must be included in the squad.

Is that the new rule?

TheGoodJoe:
As I pointed out earlier, there was no chance to scout due to time constraints. So we could not expect the coach to carry every untested player to camp. Remember, Coach Siasia had only three days to work with the foreign professionals in camp.

Then, how did he pick some players in obscure leagues?

Are you saying he gambled with his selection.

TheGoodJoe:

Sorry, I am mixing the comeback with the winning goals.

The crossing system during the comeback, can work as I earlier pointed out due to the aerial threats posed by Lewandowski and Muller.

Do you think Ighalo can offer that?

Which of our players can cross like those guys? When we talk of the Nigerian past team, there is no one today in Bayern, not even Boateng or Lahm, that can cross as Finidi George. Amunike was also a good crosser. Even Celestine Babayaro.

So that would not have been a good option for us in that game.

As I said, from Kaduna to Alexandria, I do not remember us winning an aerial ball. So why should we resort to crosses? That is playing to their strength.

You are talking about after the matches but i lay more emphases on selection prior to the games. That's where the coach got everything wrong.

Anthony Ujah, Victor Moses, Odion Ighalo, Brown Ideye and Efe Ambrose can pose aerial threat. But if you think we can't against Egypt then what are going to do at the world Cup when we have to meet the likes of Germany, Italy etcetera?

What are set pieces for?

We have Victor Moses, Onazi, Ezekiel, Simon, Odubanjo who are good at crossing the ball or playing long ball into the box. The point is coach no get game plan.

Mind you, I just saw the replay now and it seems moses shot crossed the goal line.

Icon4s:
U probably meant Moses Simon.

I am pretty sure u know only 18 players will make it. So this might jst be a list of players to hustle for places.

I will also add:

William Troost-Ekong
Shehu Abdullahi
Kingsley Madu
Sincere Seth
Ifeanyi Mathew
Paul Onuachu
Chisom Chikatara
Aaron Samuel
Michael Olaitan

I still maintain we dnt need Ighalo in this Team.

How is it 18?

Icon4s:


What do u expect when he was the only one on that side of the argument? He has also stopped including Solanke

Not easy to go against a popular view o

I stopped including Solanke because he stopped scoring goals but when i later discovered that he was out due to injury. I gave him a benefit of doubt and the boy never disappointed by repling with two goals immediately he was introduced in the 75th minutes.

Check that list again, you will see he is a starter.

Besides that, I don't follow crowd to give a resounding judgement

chrisooblog:
no mind am he don dey use style dey abandon that argument small small

Because recently, he stopped playing for the senior team of Granada. That's all. But Ezekiel Imoh must they my list for now.

So, i never abandoned anything.

Which one? The one that played for Super Eagles?

Abeg, bros leave that matter.

Bros you don remove Agbo?

I no dey waste time now.

AyakaDunukofia:
You made no sense. The problem with you is that you failed yourself each time you tried to appear intelligent.

Show me pictures of Innoson Armoured Vehicles.

AyakaDunukofia:
You rather feed your eyes with the moribund ALPHA airforce jets Innoson put back on the air

AyakaDunukofia:
"Earlier, Chief Chukwuma had told the presidential committee that he was already designing military vehicles that would be as rugged as others produced elsewhere, that the IVM had the capability to manufacture armoured vehicles if given the specification. He said the company only needed support by government and Nigerians. He declared that there was no vehicle IVM could not design and produce for African environment."
[url]. [http://www.ndibe.org/2015/03/presidential-committee-on-defence.html?m=0url]

There was already an Mou with Innoson to produce advanced rugged Armoured vehicles for the army early last year.
The design has already gotten the nod of defence headquarters before GEJ left.
It's long overdue. The Nigerian military should indigenize their technology through a capable and highly focused indigenous company as Innoson. Eventually vet and expand the idea to include any other local outfit with TESTED CREDENTIALS. The issue at stake is more than "what of my tribe"

The types of Dr. Innoson Chukwuma should be honored with GCON and not the looters called politicians.

@bolded means GEJ went ahead to sign an MOU with Innoson which has no history or not known for producing Rugged Armoured Vehicles at the expense of an established and experienced Armoured Vehicle company, Proforce limited.

Tell me what is the meaning of what GEJ displayed?

You said Proforce limited na warehouse Ko.

Tell us what Rwanda Presidential delegates, Rwanda ambassador and CEO of a renown Israeli Armoured Vehicles manufacturing company doing at "warehouse".

Airforce only buys spare parts from Innoson limited.

Brilliance9000:
Hate will kill you. Igbos are not your mate...ok? Anumanu!

Go back and read my post and tell me where u see hate speech. Igbo na sand God take form am. Em go die like other men dies. So, no envy

AyakaDunukofia:
Buhari confirmed that Innoson kept his jets flying...subdued Boko Haram for him.
That is more a superior qualification to the welding shop called Proforce.

Shebi Buhari na una man?

..


Show me pictures of Innoson Armoured Vehicles and i will for now remain silent. I no dey tory.

AyakaDunukofia:
That is the more reason he stuck to Innoson. Do you now understand me?
He settled for Innoson at last.

Settled for a company not producing Rugged Armoured Vehicles?

Show us the pictures of Innoson Armoured Vehicles.

AyakaDunukofia:
Well, let me descend the very low you yearned. OK, shouldn't Buhari, the man who sent his military Chiefs to Anambra/Innoson, know if your Proforce was capable of what you claimed?

Then, why did Buhari himself visit Proforce limited himself, if he think they not capable?

TheGoodJoe:

As I said, from Kaduna to Alexandria, I do not remember us winning an aerial ball. So why should we resort to crosses? That is playing to their strength.

You are talking about the match but i am talking about bad selection prior to the two matches. That's is the difference btw us.

Moses, Simon, Odubanjo, Ezekiel etc can cross ball wella but unfortunately some were not picked.

Odion Ighalo, Anthony Ujah, Victor Moses, Brown Ideye and Ambrose can pose aerial threat. That i am sure of it.

AyakaDunukofia:
Thinking is one of the hardest things as some are won't to say. It plays out with you. Sorry lad!

Ok, you think about it. You already have an indigenous company with the history of producing Rugged Armoured Vehicles for Africa countries but you neglected that for an in experience company without any history of producing Rugged Armoured Vehicles.

Tell me Oga, who no dey think for you and GEJ?

TheGoodJoe:

You said we should have used crosses. If we saw Bayern Munich's comeback[color=#000099] we would see what you mean.

So you mean you can not decipher your own statement.[/color]

What is the meaning of "comeback"?

From 2 goals down....

TheGoodJoe:

Now you are taking us back. We are talking after the match at Kaduna, a direct approach was not the right way. Talking of Imoh and Odubanjo is not the debate. With the squad, we had enough ammunition on ground to win the game.
Crosses won't work and there was not enough time to screen and scout. Remember it is a new coach.

If we played with our most creative forward and used brilliant passes, we would have won the game.

Building a house on sinking sand is the problem hence the need to revisit the cause of our disaster. And we can see, Siasia bad selection was the major factor behind our failure

TheGoodJoe:


If we saw how Bayern Munich was able to come back against a team known for defending (Juventus) then we will understand what i mean.

That is what you said and this was my reply.

By the way, from my memory, the last two goals of Bayern were not nodded in. That Thiago Alcantara's goal and Conman's goal.

Now you are saying this.


You said Juventus didn't score the two first goals with the head but the video said otherwise

Where did I say Juventus did not score with their heads?

If we saw how Bayern Munich was able to come back against a team known for defending (Juventus) then we will understand what i mean

Where in that post did i mention last two goals?

How is that too difficult to dechiper?

Bros, you wan play politics?

TheGoodJoe:

Where do you derive statements like this? We are talking Nigeria Vs Egypt and your saying Juventus. Are our Wingers good at crossing like Bayern Munich players? Is it Abdullahi you want to cross like Lahm? Or Musa to cross like Robben.

So, you mean Moses and Simon can't provide crosses even Ezekiel Imoh can do that. The point is Siasia did not have a game plan hence bad selection of players.

Anthony Ujah would have changed the game.

We need quality players in the National team. Moses Odubanjo would have done better than Shehu Abdullahi.

TheGoodJoe:

Crosses were not going to work. From Kaduna to Alexandria, the Egyptians beat us in aerial battles. The only time we got to them in both games were through clever interchanging passes.

That was why we looked better when Iwobi came on. We needed to beat them through passes. Sending the ball up was a mistakes. Crosses won't work.

You said Juventus didn't score the two first goals with the head but the video said otherwise.

Have you confirmed it?


Meaning the coach didn't do his home work well before he invited players.

Besides that, we won the Nations Cup through the flanks.

TheGoodJoe:
Substitutes Thiago Alcantara and Kingsley Coman scored extra-time goals as Bayern roared back to beat Juve 4-2 in their last-16, second-leg tie and seal a 6-4 aggregate victory.

Sorry, I have modified it.

AyakaDunukofia:
I'm not here for that childish combat you guys are known for. I welcome your Proforce or whatever.

Muhammadu Buhari should have preferred Proforce for obvious regional/political alliance and nepotism, but he chose Innoson . What does that tell you?

Who told you Buhari chose Innoson? I am telling you GEJ no sabi anything or he was political motivated to have gone for a company that has no history of producing Rugged Armoured Vehicles. Abi i lie.


Spare parts and a whole Armoured Vehicles are two different things. Who no know say Nnewi na spare parts base.


Buhari never prefered or signed to buy Armoured Vehicles from Innoson that's my point.


I still maintain my points that there are two things about his move;

1) Cajole the Easterners to vote for him

2) He is a Tri.ba.list

TheGoodJoe:

We needed creative play and not crosses. The Egyptians are known from history as a good sides in crosses. No do you expect to beat a master at his own games.

By the way, from my memory, the last two goals of Bayern were not nodded in. That Thiago Alcantara's goal and Conman's goal.

We needed creative play to break the defensive wall of Egypt. The introduction of Iwobi gave a hint of how different the game would have been with creative players in front of the wall.

A direct approach was not the way to go.

Bros, try confirm things before you come here na.

Are the Egyptians better than Juventus at defending crosses?

Which match you watch last wey Tiago scored equalizer goal for Champions League?


You said we needed creative play, who d creative play don help for that match? The Egyptians were afraid of us making crosses from the flanks.

That's is what i call one way traffic. We needed creative play and crosses at the same time.

See yourself

Hmm! GEJ signed an MOU with Innoson known for producing cars to produce rugged Armoured Vehicles for the Army while he ignored the one that is actually and already producing rugged Armoured Vehicles for Rwanda and some African countries. Abi GEJ no sabi Proforce limited?

1) Cajole the Easterners to vote for him

Saraki, nothing can hide the truth. If you are guilty then you are as good as going to jail. Once that is done then your cohort will respect the rule of law.

AF Nigeria 2017 Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers Egypt
Aaron Samuel, Adi not match fit - official
https://africanfootball.com/bp_images/2016/03/Samm_17_June_2.jpg
Eagles striker Aaron Samuel

CSKA Moscow striker Aaron Samuel and Fenando Adi from MLS side Portland Timbers were not listed for both AFCON qualifiers against Egypt because they were far from match fit, officials informed AfricanFootball.com


It was understood that coach Samson Siasia stuck with Watford striker Odion Ighalo for both games against Egypt because Samuel and Adi could not prove their fitness in training.


“Both players were not match-fit after Siasia tested their endurance with some exercises in training. That was why he could not name any of them even on the substitutes’ bench,” a source close to the Super Eagles revealed.


"They just couldn't cope with the training."
Samuel was making a comeback to the national team after he was overlooked by former coach Sunday Oliseh, while MLS champion Adi was set for his international debut.
africanfootball.com/news/622676/Aaron-Samuel-Adi-not-match-fit-official

So, who should be blamed?

I don talk am before but some people no go gree. In that critical situation, Siasia needed his boys to cross the ball into the box for a striker to nod the ball into the net but unfortunately he didn't have a tall striker to do that.

If we saw how Bayern Munich was able to come back against a team known for defending (Juventus) then we will understand what i mean. All they did was to cross the ball into the box and the rest is history.

The only Nigerian striker good at that is Anthony Ujah but they ignored a player scoring goals in one of the best league in the world for Chinese product. Forgetting that Chinese product no dey last.

jayriginal:
Either. I want the best for the team but if we are getting a foreign coach then at least get a good one. We keep getting unknowns and paying them much bigger salaries than we pay our own coaches only for them to fumble in the end.

We need a long term plan of development.

Which local coach or foreign coach do you recommend?
