Finidi George seems to be doing so well in the NPFL with an unbeaten run in 7 games managing 5 wins and 2 draws.

Meanwhile Amunike has just 1 win in 7 matches so far. Even manage to draw 10 man ikorodu United at home during the week

I want to ask please with AE plans of taking the two best coaches in the NPFL as assistants should finidi win the league will he agree to go back to the super eagles as assistant?

How far with amokachi performance with Lobi stars so far?

naijaboy756:
Oga dollar was used to import those products before now right?

So since October, we did not need that! Dollar was saved as FX or let’s say that the pressure that amount of dollars was supposed to exert was taken off and it ought to have an immediate impact on the value of the Naira right ?

Yesterday Naira crashed further to over N1,700

Are you an APC supporter? Let me know how to package the insult

I don't understand because the refinery was supposed to lessen the pressure on the naira at least we are supposed to see the effect even the claim trade surplus by the FG last month is of no effect on the naira

Akerry:
Thank you for this response. the guy is not serious

Many of them don't have sense

I currently live in the south west....you need to see how same people that shouted emilokan last year are suffering

Hunger doesn't have tribal mark

Gazzy88:
Pains for ibos with this news. 😄

Pain Igbos because you're buying fuel at 200 naira per litre and an Igbo man buying fuel at 1300 per litre

Some of you reason with your feet. I am not igbo but using the incompetency of this government to taunt them makes u look foolish because you support the government and voted it into power...if there should be any foolish one it should be those that voted in the government and still can't criticise the malperformance of the government they voted in.

Tessyy1701:
Its so simple. I think Alhaji Gusau NFF should be sacked, they didnt received Libya well. We ought to pay for their flight from PH to Uyo since We knew they cant pay for the flight.

I hope the minister of sport will sack them Asap

Sack the NFF chairman and get FIFA hammer

No matter how incompetent those lots are you can't sack them their immunity comes from FIFA Clause of no government interference in football matters but government funds can interfere

Odunayaw:
The USMNT comes into Nigeria to play a match, we reroute them to Maiduguri and lock the team with the USSF president and the deputy governor of Alabama in the airport for 15 hours. Also frustrate staffs of the Department of State trying to reach them.

Think on that scenario and imagine the response of the US.

make una de deceive unasef with this faux cool heads mantra

Na edo state be alabama for this analysis

Wait wetin Philip dey do for super eagles? Hope he is not the one Influencing Taminu call ups?

We shouldn't reduce the super eagles to a team where politicians decides who get call ups or not

Well your analysis is spot on

daveP:
Abeg we no play. Na by force. We dash dem the 3points abeg.

Dash who points?

We'll play on a neutral venue, that if Libya doesn't get suspended. Anyone that want the 3 points should work for it

I don't know why you Nigerians sometimes sound like a loser, dash Libya 3 points? Na wa oo


Even if they're picking points on the ground we will never give them 3 points and CAF won't even dare in this scenario

minfelix:
until una hear say Al-shabab don kidnap all of them, everyone go start dey run kitikiti katakata…mae we dey play oo

Don't mind them making case for the incompetent nff and sport Minister

Those guys should be flown out... I so much wish this was in obasanjo time as president

Don't be surprised Mr. President is not even aware

lbrichman2:
See CAF oh!.

If that sport Minister agree ehh

Let the match be played in a other neighbouring country like Tunisia on a separate date

mekabuachi:
Can you see this is out of nff control?

Then they should reach out to Mrs president or senate president

Cmon this guys lives are at risk even the US won't allow their citizens be in Libya at this time let alone in a risky situation as this

It will be embarrassing if this players clubs or second nationality start reaching out for their safety while the NFF still claim to be handicapped

semid4lyfe:
Mr Adepoju tweet is inciting and aims to pit Nigerians against the NFF and the Sports Minister.

I am certain the NFF and Sports Minister are doing everything they can but somethings are out of their direct control in this matter.

I say this as someone who has been involved in Protocol and Logistics operations in the past.

BRO If they're stucked they can get the presidency involved. The Secretary to the federal government Hon Femi can be contacted asap and with the presidential inputs I am so sure alot can be done immediately

The CAF president can be phoned as well...this is a matter of this guys safety and it is wickedness taken too far

TheSuperNerd:
Seems Gusau-led NFF aren't dull in this aspect after all. Nice chess playing.

Maybe Amaju told him what to do 😁😂

Cc Humility33 🤣

Hope you have gone through Mr adepoju tweet to see how clueless your nff and sports minister are in handling the matter?

lbrichman2:
My brother, if they go on with the match, it will be a big indictment on the NFF, even if we win
Other teams will see that they can treat our players anyhow and nothing will happen. It will destroy any iota of respect for our SE players

I told you that Gusau doesn't know anything

A sensible NFF chairman would've protest those disallowed goals by Lookman lately didn't u see the way Tunisia FA is taking it up with the officiating of their last match against Comoros even threaten to report the match officials to CAF
That alone sends shivers and spine to others that officiate their future matches

This NFF Chair is docile and it is just too pathetic.

Like I said how he handles this will go show his capacity

Sugarboyy:
How did we even got here?
Oga hasn't even said anything, maybe he is still sleeping 😪

Someone that could not get the super eagles a substantial coach

Pasiero was hired by Pinnick, the only coach Gusau hired was finidi and when finidi resigned he was handicapped and could not hire anyone

He made the Nigeria football a laughing stock. Thanks to AE that came to the rescue and AE was Pinnick appointment as TD

Sugarboyy:
The problem is that the NFF won't even bother to write a complaint to Caf and FIFA. They will see and take whatever is happening now as an act of God.
Except I'm mistaking, Nigeria also have a high commission in Libya, what's the Nigeria embassy in Libya doing about this and why would they abandoned and allows our boys to be going through all of these under their nose?
If I were the NFF Chairman, I will return the boys home, abandon the match in protest and write a complaint to both caf and FIFA

Bro forget that NFF chairman that man is very docile and inactive

Pinnick would've at least done something not this one. We keep putting square pegs in round holes

lbrichman2:
NFF should file an official report to CAF and refuse to play that match
If they go through with the match, them no serious be that
We need to send a strong message to CAF

Unfortunately some of you have sense more than that NFF president. The man barely understands what it means to be a proactive football administrator.

Just watch how he will handle this

EEGA:
Do you think we can beat the FFF to the signature of George Ilenikhena of Monaco?I heard he is on their radar.Recall we lost Michael Olise to them. I've not seen much of Tolu's game anyway.

We can if we are proactive
Meet and invite him for our next match. The IIenikhena cannot displace any of France forwards at the moment for a starting shirt. They may likely ship him to their under 23 team.

Same league where Tolu plays was owned by Oshimen and Awoniyi when they played there even the Onauchu so nothing much to beat myself over his performance.

IIenikhena and Olatunji are in the calibre of Samuel Omorodion of Porto.

EEGA:
If we beat them on Tuesday.The next FIFA window will see Eguavoen invite the likes of Olatunji,Arokodare and co, since we must have secured our AFCON ticket.

Eguavoen did this in our third group stage game in the postponed AFCON 21, where he rested six of his starting eleven.So I expect to see new players in next squad by November.

I just hope so

We need fresh legs to compliment the ones we have already.

We need look into the defence and striking department

I personally want that Monaco and sparta Prague kid

Tolu is just like Awoniyi nothing much difference...I don't really rate him much.

We need to also invite Akpoguma, Jordan and Chima to beef up the defence line

Setaleonoz:
Libya for trash us if this man na still our coach

And to think that he is doing so well with Rivers United baffles me

Well I think the man is not clear cut for the super eagles job at all.

EEGA:
The above was my post on 6th of October.

The same thing repeated itself.Boniface had a chance in our last game to pass to a free Lookman who would have put us 1-0 up before the halftime break but he did not.He preferred to shoot.

Eguavoen needs to sit Boniface down and school him on the importance of team work in football.The game is not about scoring but getting the needed 3 points.

Osimhen only scored once but he got us to the AFCON finals while grabbing assists and making goal contributions such as winning penalties and forcing an owngoal.

Boniface and Lookman has played in our last two games with no Chemistry between them.Pls they shouldn't start games together since don't seem to understand each other.

Competition is of paramount importance for every successful manager but this two especially Boniface dey play like say the both of them use Super Eagles dey drag APOTY.

We should at least be 1-0 up before you start playing your selfish game.

Boniface should borrow a leaf from Osimhen who despite the criticism from fans and football lovers at home and abroad was still selfless despite scoring only once in the AFCON.

I don't expect Bony to start our next game anyway.

Secondly, for a team like Libya with low block or that loves parking the bus, please start all your scorers in every department of the team.
Especially those who have scored or assisted of recent.

Raphael Onyedika after opening the scoring against Gernot Rohr's Benin deserves to start the game along side Dele Bashiru who got us the equaliser against South Africa and the winner against Libya in our last game.

If your Strikers are finding it difficult to score you must start all your scoring midfielder.

Simon and Chukwueze did well in our last game.A 4-2-4 won't be bad for the next game same with a 4-3-3.

Bony should be dropped.Ejuke should play a part in the away game if not start for his dribbles will help unlock the Libyan's sturborn defence.Our last game favoured the dribblers in our team and Ejuke won't be an exception.

The team that finished the game should start our next game.

A 4-4-1-1 formation will be nice.Raph and Iwobi as midfield pivot with Bashiru ahead of them while Lookman leads the attack flanked by Simon and Chukwueze.It could easily become a 4-2-4 with Lookman and Bashiru operating as false 9's.

Start all your scorers in our next game and secure the AFCON ticket with two games left to be played.

Big congrats to Coach Dan Ogunmodede(Ija ball master).He was the mind behind our tactical substitutes for the game.You can see him with his books and laptop as he prepared the trio of Raph,Bashiru and Awo to come on in our last game.

This is no surprise to me because his Remo Stars team has always been known for scoring goals.

Henceforth, I recommend that the assistants to any Super Eagles Coach should always be the winner of the previous season NPFL and his runner up.I thank Eguavoen for this initiative of employing the best of the previous season NPFL as his assistant.

Kudos to Coach Fidelis Ilechukwu for his contribution to the team.We are yet to concede since he was appointed as assistant Coach.If you have watched his Enugu Rangers side, you will realise they really defend well(more emphasis on defensive solidity while being compact at the back).

This your analysis deserve 52 likes

I think AE needs to reach out to the Monaco and Sparta Prague kid Olatunji Victor. Those guys have hunger and drive like oshimen

We also need to integrate Kelvin Akpoguma and some of the German guys Chima and Co into the team to see what they have to offer at least if we qualify on Tuesday with out last 2 match remaining we can use it to see what they have to offer

minfelix:
How do some people feel after you try to make one moomoo post and later got flawed,shamed and defeated by the outcome of things?

example 1: at 70mins 0-0 “we need a foreign coach”and then boom! we score a goal from the coach masterclass substitutions and topnotch reading of the game
example 2: Moses simon should not be starting, he is not good enough, then boom! he makes a world class assist.
How una take dey feel when situation shuts una up?
shey shame no dey always catch una?
cos as for me, shame no go let me post again for the next 7eke market days, cos i will just see my piece of contribution as wack and not necessary cos it’s pointless and baseless

We scoring in the close of 80 mins by sub player doesn't obliterate the fact that the super eagles need a sound tactician

Look through the team whenever oshimen is not playing the super eagles struggles

Imagine a match with no oshimen and lookman the team will struggle more

We are looking at the need for AE to change tactics instead of bringing in crosses into the opponent 18 yard box in situations where they parked the Box why not encourage your players to shot from outside the 18yard box.

The fact that we won this match doesn't remove the fact that the scoreline wasn't impressive and we should have done better

So those advocating for a sound foreign tactician haven't done anything wrong

CornOak:
We need to try long range shots.

Luku scores but offside.

Exactly Brother

Shot from outside I expect onyedika to do that

Oasis007:


Una too dey post gibberish sha. Wetin else you need AE to do?!

Na you dey take side with rubbish

This gibberish football

This team need to try shot from outside 18 yard box rather try sneak into the opponent 18 yard box

Try shot from out side

Truly the super eagles need a foreign coach at this junction

CornOak:
Onyeka out for Chukwueze.

We are now relying on crosses.

Instead of trying shots outside the 18 yard box with someone like Nacho or taiwo in the box to make use of rebound

Oshimen is not playing for goodness sake who will convert the aerial balls?

maidaboi:
OK seer

Bro AE does not have solution to this match

He is lost like his players whenever oshimen is not playing the super eagles struggles

Sugarboyy:
Victor Olatunji is sure for the SE but same can't be said about Illenikhena when he is already been scouted by the French National team.
I think we should give Akpom a chance. I would have said Solanke also but England has invited him already.
We need new strikers for heaven's sake because these ones have shown that they can't score if Osimhen isn't playing.
Even Dessers should be recalled to the team

Exactly

AE is not ready to coach and achieve great things with the super eagles

He keep doing one thing over and over again

I see this match ending in draw

9JAMac10:
Nigerians are adapted and acclimated to mediocre football na why abeg tell me what we did well against Libya not even ghana or the top African teams

Don't mind them... the match falls below expectations to be honest

Sugarboyy:
Maybe we need a striker with physical presence in the match.
I think Boniface should be substituted for Awoniyi.
Boniface is good but there is nothing he brings to this team that Lookman and Iwobi doesn't and hasn't offered more so far

Awoniyi is even worse

I think Boniface should be moved to the wings and moses Simon taken off for Nacho

Unfortunately AE needs to take the initiative to invite the UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE kids to see if we can get a player that ginger like oshimen amongst them

Sugarboyy:
My brother, we are doomed
Not that the team won't play well, but that extra ginger that Osimhen presence brings won't be there

I think the coaches really need to try that Victor Olatunji guy and the Iheikheina guy of Monaco

Let's invite fresh forwards and see if we can get oshimen and lookman replacement should push come to shove

Because if we must win our remaining world cup qualifying matches we must learn to get places to stand in absence of oshimen and lookman

solonnachi:
THE ONLY THING MISSING IN THIS GAME IS GOAL OTHERWISE THESE GUYS ARE GOOD

Abeg this guys dey play nonsense to be honest. The midfield nor dey this match at all
