thegoodjoehunt: [color=#000099]We played better in the first half and our defenders were more protected then. Enyeama was on holidays.

In the second half, the erroneous tactical change of Keshi put the defence under pressure and our play became less effective. That is what led to the amount of pressure and the red card.

Simples: the card to Ogude.

She said she's not ready. well once i am able to get the main thing i have been waiting for this year, i'd see if she's still going to say she's not yet ready.

thegoodjoehunt:

I'll say it again, Obiora is very slow, he also came in against Cape Verde. I hope Coach Keshi leaves that boy out.

Also, Mikel is not good at tackling, that is bot part of the game, if Ogude goes forward, who shields our defenders.

By the way, Siasia dropped Ibrahim Rabiu, one of the stars expected for U20 World Cup then for Obiora Nwankwo and it cost us in that tourney.

Obiora Nwankwo is warming the bench at the Serie B. How did Coach Keshi find himV It is clear that there is someone big paying money and pulling strings to get that boy playing time.

Mark my words, if Coach Keshi starts that boy in any of this group stage matches, it will cost us the game.

Mikel is not good at tackling? gosh!, what then has he been doing since 2006 for Chelsea? scoring?

I can't shout bro.

Afam4eva: If you want to watch videos with kids then buy christian my=usic videos and play them. You don't expect secular musicians to be preaching jesus on TV. Why not focus on watching TBN, 700 club and other religious programs rather than watching hip TV. Hypocrites.

Before i engage you in a convo, would like to know how spiritual/religious/paganic you are.

Morally depleted country, yet religious houses everywhere.

Funny thing is that most of all these musicians attend churches/mosque o.

Those who also dance/buy/sing these songs also attend churches/mosques o, so i wonder why they attend churches/mosques if they'd still end up doing what those who don't attend churches/mosques do.


even a 5 years old kid would be seen dancing to "take banana". RUBISH (and you complain of rape and abuse).



sinking country in all angle!

thegoodjoehunt:
As for Ogude, he was never suppose to go forward or so called inter change with Mikel. To cope with Mikel's play and give Mikel freedom to express himself, we need someone to sit in front of the defense and protect them when the midfield loses the ball. That was what Oliseh used to do foor Jay-Jay.

That was why when the ball was lost in the match, our defense was unprotected from the counter attack.

He was never what? why are you guys always thinking you can teach a coach which tactics he should use and how he should work? if he decides to interchange mikel with ogude periodically, it's his call and you can't fault him for doing what he believes in. the best you can do is apply for the same job if you believe you can do better. i am tired of people criticizing at every given opportunity. the coach did what he believed in and it worked for him for 90mins + until the short madness.

How many of his white coach gives mikel room to "express" himself? we had 3 midfielders and 2 out of the 3 are good DM, switching from time to time was never an error because we already had an AM in Nosa, so why are you trying to sound as if Mikel was the only one doing the passing? Mikel threw long passes while Nosa threw short passes, Ogude did dirty jobs, later switched (the card issue). so it's a tactical plan and Nosa was expected to switch on the short passes in the second half while Ogude and Mikel do the defending since we were a goal up already.

Let's stop this already. it's just a game and 2 more to go.

Moving on!

thegoodjoehunt:

I don't need to go to the training camp, to know how Obiora plays. Obiora played for us in the second U20 team coached by Siasia. He also played lots of games for Inter Milan under Rafa Benitez. Remember the match Bale destroyed Maicon? Well Obiora was there in that match. It was Obiora Bale passed many times before he got to Maicon.

He is slower than Mikel Obi and a poorer tackler than Mikel. Mikel needs a fast and strong tackler to balance his midfield play and Obiora of a Nwankwo can never.

As for Omeruo, as a right back, his job as a right back(defensively) is to mark and take out the left winger. That is what I meant by holding the left winger.

By the way Omeruo is a better than Ambrose at the right back position and Ambrose is in better form than Yobo at the Central defense role. So it makes us wonder how Yobo made that team line up and Ambrose ending up off position.

Finally as for AVB, he was just a fan when he pointed out errors in the tactics and strategy of one of the greatest coaches in the game (Bobby Robson). If he could do that, why do you think some Nigerian fans can't point out Mistakes of Coach Keshi.

You don't need to be at the camp to know how Obiora plays, yet you are condemning him? haven't you seen players who perform well at the club but bad with the national team, vice versa? if Obiora was not good enough, the coach wouldn't have taken him knowing fully well that Obiora is not even a household player.

Well, i thought you mean he's a left winger (you may have to modify your previous post). I insist, you can't say if Omeruo is better or not because you obviously do not know why he's being benched for Ambrose, the best you can do is try to ask the coach why he prefers a CB to a natural RB.

AVB did that maybe because the error was too glaring, but here in Nigeria, EVERYONE claims to be a coach, what Keshi did is not new and if Ambrose hadn't been red-carded, most of you wouldn't be saying all these. Ambrose didn't do badly as a RB apart from the cards he got from the anti-SE ref.

slimyem: Nah..
I'm already taken

By who? are you a commodity ni?

thegoodjoehunt:
We should not even try that Obiora Nwankwo of a person. He is too slow and a poor tackler. Mikel isn't good at tackling or isn't fast tracking back. So Obiora would not help Mikel.

Mikel's game is passing and moving forward to control the game. We need a ball winner/tackler to win the ball back for him. Just as Sani Kaita did at the U20 World Cup.

What killed us was Ogude bombarding forward. If he had stayed fixed in front of the defense and winning the ball, he would have had a better game. When Ogude goes forward, he has to tackle roughly to win the ball. I will still go with Ogude but he shouldn't overlap. Just the way Makalele does it.

Obiora is good, slow? maybe, but a bad tackler? that's not so true, he can't be worse than Ogude na patapata, Olofinjana style, you shouldn't say Obiora can't help Mikel because you have never been to their trainings and you do not know how they perform overthere.

Ogude actually didn't bomboard forward, rather he was switching position with Mikel once in a while, he did most of the staying back and his tackles were becoming worrisome too. Ogude is too raw and always a customer to the ref's whistle.

What i do not like is Keshi taking an half-fit Rueben to the nations cup just to warm the bench, i don't even think he's going to be fit for the next match. thank God moses is going to be around, i want to see Musa and moses running riot on the wings.

thegoodjoehunt:
Yobo should have been dropped for Ambrose. It is as Simple as that. Ambrose is a better central defender than Yobo. Secondly Omeruo's overlapping is fantastic. He is also good at holding the Left winger.

When Ancelotti used Ivanovic as a right back, Ferreira was injured and was very poor. As Chelsea now has Azpilicuetta, you can't see a coach dropping Azpili that easily and playing Ivanovic as a RB when he will do better as a defender.

Now Ambrose has a red card and we are stuck with Yobo. Keshi was wrong there.

Being the first game, using Yobo was never an issue, if he had not used Yobo, would we have known he was not confident enough for the game? if he hadn't used him and we lost, won't people scream about "benching experience"? he used Ambrose as a RB maybe because Ambrose performed well as a RB during warm up matches/training, so you can't blame the coach at all.

As for Omeruo, not that i don't like him, but i feel he wasn't cut out to start the first game, now that Ambrose is not available, we can fully see how "useful" Kenneth is come friday. Omeruo a holding "left winger"? are you serious? any link to back this up? you mean he's a 2 legged player?

Let me tell you, I'd take Ivanovic twice before thinking of the latter. infact, why should you even be using chelsea to judge Keshi? what correlation do they have in common? even Barca use Andriano as CB sometimes, use Puyol as RB,LB, so what's wrong with using a CB as a RB? because he got red-carded or what? he did absolutely well and supported the attackers more often than the 2 CBs and the LB, so let's stop all these bla bla bla.

Keshi was not wrong, he picked who he believed in and you can't tell him he's wrong because you were NEVER in the camp to know who was actually performing better during training as a RB.

thegoodjoehunt:
Andreas Villas Boas was 16 years old when he confronted the great Bobby Robson. A legendary coach that has coached Barcelona, England etc. Boas made Coach Robson know the tactical mistakes he made while Robson coached FC Porto. After that meeting, Robson took Boas to work with him and Mourinho.

So you must not go to a coaching school to know when a coach makes a mistake.

In Nigeria, every claims to be a coach, what tactical mistake are you talking about? picking Ambrose as a RB is a tactical mistake because he got a red card that is debatable or what exactly? Ambrose performed better than the rest 2 defenders and slightly below Ogbaboana, so what again are you saying?

nuclearboy: You want him to call fire down from Heaven? You need a water, air, fire or earth bender to show such things! What our NL "pastors" do today is throw unsubstantiated threats and accusations around in the hope of hitting something

Unless him wan burn patapata, me sef na "pastor" on my own.

exbash: Abeg live stream link oo....any beta person there help out

Thank me later.

naijaobi: oga, u still don't get it.. A right back can easily be used as a center back but not vice versa.. Ivanovic is a right back, but he can also play the center back position very well.. You also mentioned ramos, yes he is a natural right back thats why he can play as a center back.
But av u seen a natural center back playing as a right back??
Simply put..keshi messed up in dat aspect of fielding ambrose as a right back.. This is a guy who plays week in week out as a center back in his club.. Watchout how our next match will be, cos omeruo will be deployed to right back..

And you think Keshi does not know Ambrose plays as a CB at his club?
You think he would use ambrose as a rb while using ogboabona as a cb when omeruo can be used as a rb?
You think the coach is stupid?
You think he can't think?
People thinking they know more than those who went to coaching school because of the passion they have for this sport?

Nigerians!

Pastor Kun: Dictionary definition of despot:

despot

[ des-puh t, -pot ]



noun

1. a king or other ruler with absolute, unlimited power; autocrat.

2. any tyrant or oppressor.

Can you honestly say that this definition does not define buhari? Or would you have preferred I label him 'former' despot.

so tell us how he is a despot, decisions he took alone, those he oppressed and when/how he displayed unlimited power.

With facts and historical evidence, please hightlight how he oppressed the citizens/masses.

Buhari supporters here are not robots and are willing to learn or know somethings hidden abouy Buhari that's daming to his person.

fredoooooo: Bros now you are talking .... no matter what still UP EAGLES

wetin i bin dey do b4?

WINNINGWAYZ: Took some break. Am around now, watch and learn in this great room.

good to no bro, while u watch and learn, pls drop some tips too o.

naijaobi: oga, am not saying ambrose is a bad player.. I said he was played out of position.. How can you use a natural centeral back at a right back position?..
Can chelsea play john terry at a right back position? Or can man united play vidic at the right back position?
Eh

he plays as a rb and does well, even yobo wasn't a cb before but got converted, why not ambrose?
What's my own with terry not being used as a rb? Ramos's a rb but plays as a cb under mourinho, so what?

semid4lyfe:


Eric, good morning o

This one wey you dey voke early morning, hope nothing


@ topic,

Cute and adorable, like their outfits

sup my bro, how u dey?
Well i'm not the deep sleeping type so don't be surprised if you see me up ax early as 2am.

naijaobi: something baffles me.. Hw can keshi keep omeruo, a natural right back on the bench and instead played efe ambrose who is a natural centeral back... It is very annoying.. We all know that ambrose plays well for his club in that centeral back position, why play him in the right back position??

Because he's the coach and knows who's fit for his gameplan and style, you're not in the camp to know who dazzles when it comes to training. Ambrose is a good player but sometimes misbehave.

watchindelta: yobo nver sabi play football any day before jor, @honoric me no fit praise yeye team oh! If super eagles play well evrybody we praise them na, but reversed is the case jor.

But you can praise and support your foreign club-side even when they lose or haven't won a trophy for God knows when.

unlike some with 90% items all over their body/face.

Jarus: Bros, you asked for realistoic option and people gave you and now you want to stifle their choice? Why not put from onset that the only option must be your personal option?

I just tire for some people o. they sometimes post like robots.

Pastor Kun: My brother you are still giving yourself high blood pressure over that old despot. Abeg take am easy jor. The best buhari can do for this country is to anoint a credible young and dynamic candidate who is in touch with the realities of our time. I have told you countless times that a buhari that was a non performer in his youth can never hope to perform as a disgruntled vision less old hag.

Now that you have nothing to say to back up your false accusation, all that's left is to call him despot? what would Jesus do PASTOR KUNLE? Godiswatchingyouowayupfromabove.

PointB: Suit yourself boy, I am not oblige to dignify your rhetoric with any rebuttal.

Because you don't have any to give if not the normal beer parlor rumor.

Ormania: Aya hoho zare new deleeeeeee.....Go Ethi Go! Can't waite for the Nja vs Ethi match. I want Eagles to be crashed out by Ethi....LOVE!

I love the passing game of the Ethiopians but do not over-estimate your prowess. when you meet the Eagles, it won't be like the Zambians. be warned.

watchindelta: yobo no tried at all vvvery poor tackle,poor passes,very poor co-ordinator as a captain,no self confidence as a captain, why keshi na wash as a coach, badt NFF plus inexperience coach plus inexperience players equal to badt result, gbam.

Stop blaming the coach and the NFF, you people should learn how to criticize and not just type.

HABA.. Nigerians self, some of una no even fit lead for una compound o, yet all of una think say una sabi coach. shhhh!

Yobo just couldn't command the back line at all. i think Enyeama would have done well as a captain sef.

As for Ederson, he needs to grow in confidence, he's just so full of fears, always too conscious of making mistakes.

Ogude should stop being too aggressive, he was into too many unprofessional tackles.

Ambrose wasn't lucky with that yeye ref at all. the burks did more than what he did yesterday and none of them got a card from the ref.

Mikel did well, same with Nosa, but both of them slowed down the game play, we didn't really do any counter attacking because of the slow pace the midfielders operated on.

Uche was a waste yesterday, doing nice foot-work just to baloon your final balls into the air is not commendable at all.

Musa did alot more than what people are commending him for. got the flanks busy, crossed in good balls that our finishers couldn't finish.

He also helpedout in the middle too.

Emenike also tried but lack skills. couldn't beat off his opponents when they kept pulling him.

All in all, i see us performing better in our next match.

Back line should be Ederson, Ogbobona, Yobo and Omeruo,
Mid should be Mikel, Nosa and Obiora, forward should be Musa, Emenike and Ideye.

The formation should later be changed to 4 4 2 pulling out Ideye for Uche while musa joins the midfield.

Jesuspikin87: Abeg make una shaaaaaarrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaap!
Cos osaze no drop money.....dem drop am!
Abeg wetin Yobo dey find for d National team again and who be that ogude dude sef? Keshi na Olodo jare!!!!!!!

You wey no be olodo, which team you dey coach?

PointB: I think the correct question should be, why do you get hard on each time we remind folks that Buhari is an old clueless bigot who truncated democracy, and has no business seeking to benefit from it?

I no people like you can't answer simple questions, people of questionable characters are like this.
