Odunayaw:
Take your advice. Don't be unfortunate. You for come say "plastic fans" de chook you for body as it describes you abi

Nonsense

U barely make sense with your posts there was one you quoted me some days back
I just laugh because you wrote like some one writing some fictitious stories

Odunayaw:
You're very stupid for jumping on my post unprovoked. I resemble person wey you go use de learn words.

Now get lost

Just take correction
Make your posts with sense whenever you wanna posts

The fact that some persons hold contrary opinion with u or understand football better than you does not make them plastic fans

andrewbaba44:
As usual anything to blame innocent onuachu

Didn't u see it that his lack of pace is telling on him when it comes to Africa football

No body is blaming him it was evident except u wanna be sentimental

Odunayaw:
Some pages one started his post with "didn't watch the match tho" and started ranting

Olodos

U talk like some one that barely think prior posting

I have told u before that you're good with high sounding words but it barely carries reality.

Better you come here read comments like and share

JohnBullMySon:
The funny thing here is that, being realistic, Cape Verde's chances of winning that Tuesday match is almost zero. If you notice, our team mostly struggles against a team that came to draw. And honestly, you can't possibly thrash a team that came to defend. The only major problem with our team is that we miss clear chances a lot. Without those silly misses, we should be giving those small defensive minded African teams at least 2 nil.

Rohr's preferred tactic is counter attack, because we have excellent attackers, that's why it is difficult for big teams to overcome Nigeria. Once the game is equal in possession, the team finds it easy to score. But once the opponent is laid back, na wahala because we are not yet at that elite level of creativity to tear defences open easily. So if you sit back against Nigeria, you have a chance of winning or drawing. If any of those teams had tried to keep the defence line higher, trust me na 4-nil or above.

However, for Cape Verde, coming to Lagos to sit back, will be very difficult for them to do, even if the coach says so, given that they have more at stake and sitting back will more likely lead to a draw than a win. So their only option is to score an early goal, then sit back. But that will be a gamble for them, because Rohr's counter attack strategy could lead to a goal in their net and keep them attacking, which will result in more goals against them, trust me. So very likely Rohr will start Chukwueze or Ejuke.

The game will tilt to who scores the first and earliest goal. Nigeria is the favorite here, due to a deadlier attack. I only pray that Sierra Leone doesn't happen again. It's very unlikely though.

It seems u dont know rohr

Mark this...the German will stick to same line up that played against Liberia

I know rohr so well he is very conservative and does not change

JohnBullMySon:
The only issue I have with Rohr is his insistence on attacking from the wings when we play possesion games against small teams. It obvious we are not passing well enough in the box to score often. We can try sudden outside 18 ground or low shots from unlikely places. Pass, pass, pass then somebody just shoots. That shit works so well in Africa, I've watched a couple of CAF games and it leads to goals more often than you'd think. It may look amateurish but it still works.

Don't be surprised none of this super eagles coach know what you put up there especially rohr

He has nothing upstairs when it comes to reading and analysing a match

Napoleon55:
Awaziem and Akpaguma should b tried to see if they can click.

Exactly

Let's see what they have to offer

ChrisKels:
A good coach would have started trying out other formulas by now but not this good for nothing coach. The Oyibo wall has seen better days, why not try something else. Did we fight to get Akpoguma to come be a spectator?

Rohr is simply a coward reason why he has never won a single trophy all his life as a coach

forgiveness:
I prefer Awaziem as one of the back 3 but not as back 2.

You're just like rohr

Let Awaziem and Akpoguma be tried
Let's see what they have to offer

Subzero047:
Very big lie, our pitches suffered for nothing

U said it all

ChrisKels:
Putting Awaziem on the Right would force me to play either Balogun or Ekong. I wouldn't go that route because while Ekong is erratic, Balogun is too soft and slow though celebral. I aint sold on Collins and Zaidu, but I would pick one, preferably Collins because he is more mature though average.

If I had a full house, Aina is occupying the LB position, Ebuehi to the RB, while Akpoguma and Awaziem anchors at the CB.

How wish Rohr can take this risk against Liberia.

But still the conservative coach will barely make any change

Subzero047:
You dey understand well so? Ask yourself what influenced Watford's decision to sign Maduka, he is not even in form and Watford don't need a new keeper at the moment

The scout did
Last time i checked Pinnick is not Watford scout

This Clubs are not run like nigeria companies or enterprise where man know man influence recruitment

West brom signed Ideye then from Kiev in similar fashion even though he never made the world cup list

andrewbaba44:
And he told them to sign Maduka

Baba which kind new narrative be this

I just weak
They think epl clubs sign africa playerz based on Sentiment especially a struggling club like Watford

Arabiandude:
If we are sincere, then the truth has to be said. It could be Napoli pattern of play or their wingers aren't good with the ball or because they just choose personal glories, but trust me, Napoli wingers aren't doing enough for their top 9.
Have you watched Ajax, Dortmund, Bayern or even Juventus or Man U play? Their wingers are always assisting their top 9 with split passes and crosses and that's why you would see someone like Haller scoring goals aplenty because Ajax wingers, e.g Anthony are always on the watch out for him.

Aside this topic, that guy called Anthony at Ajax is a rear gold that lot of big clubs aren't looking at yet

Thank u

It shows u watch napoli matches and understand football

andrewbaba44:
You guys rant too much about Napoli being selfish abeg

No be today dem Dey selfish for football and it’s normal

The problem I have with u is that u are not watching the match and u will start talk as if u are the commentator

Englandboy:
Waiting for that goal from oshibaba

Expecting service from those players go hard ool

Never will i criticise this guy again
Rarely get created chances to score

Kog45:
Hmmm how I wish we watch other Nigerians like we are watching Osimehn in Napoli....so that we can see difficulties they face in their club sides too....cos me I no dey understand all these complaints about Napoli players on this thread .

The players are selfish even free kicks that were supposed to be crosses with tall players like Jesus and oshimen inside 18 yard box insigne will shoot wide

Lozano had an opportunity to pass the ball to elmas for a goal but instead shot wide

With the way Napoli plays i doubt if they can win seria a

I rarely miss their matches but they rarely play as a team

This Napoli players sha
Everyone wanna score
The wingers dont even make crosses into the 18 yard box despite having a tall striker

Joebie:
for 3 years Canada has been chasing Ugbo did Canada say kpem?
Before oga coach start to talk na after Ugbo annouce switch to Canada. See scouting process!

I will not put anything past our administrative style. We are Nigerians we know how we do things at home.

Modified
I have been searching Google News (Canada English), I can't even find anything on Ugbo's switch to Canada prior to the recent news.

I thought u said u leave outside the country

U seems to be so concerned and used to mediocrity or stagnant mode of recruitment

We need to embrace global changes and move same pace with the world

I hate it when we see nothing wrong or seems to get used to Nigeria administrative lopsidedness

Just imagine our female football is going way side already and lots more

andrewbaba44:
My bros calm down and stop taking this serious

We cannot kill our self our Ike ugbo who cannot bench world class onuachu at genk

Oga make una think outside the box na
I am concerned about the approach we adopt in reaching out to this boys not Ike

We need improve on the approach we receive and lure this kids.... all is not right with nigeria football authorities at the moment even the home grooming players is been hampered and not functioning

jihday:
you can’t put us on the same pedestal as Canada, they aren’t even giants in North America they need all the players they can lay their hands on. This Ugbo is warming the bench for Onuachu who’s kinda surplus to requirement for us. So why should we chase him?

I am not arguing this for Ike. I am talking on the need for the nigeria football authorities to up their approach in getting this foreign born talents because i feel same lustre attitude probably is been put up towards others

andrewbaba44:
What do we need Ike ugbo for if I may ask ?

I am talking on this Because it can argued that same attitude is been put up towards others better than him we desire

There is a saying how you do one thing is how you do everything

I am saying this because i think it is high time nigeria football authorities take time study and learn from other countries most especially Morocco and algeria on how they lure and get this foreign players

Joebie:
eh read that paragraph again. There is a reason why I am bringing it to your attention.

Express it here for me
Because all i read there is a coach that refuse give up in his pursuit

ChrisKels:
If he did the bolded, you would still come here to say he did nothing because he didn't give a slip

I won't say such because the results could be different

We need to learn and grow

Have u ever read north Africans go after this foreign players the way pinnick did for the world to see

U do this things discreetly

Joebie:
seems you missed the last paragraph

I read about the coach tenacity and persistence in getting talents he desires or he sees available

PROVERBZ:
no abeg u people are not tired of embarrassment ?

The embarrassment you people deserve is to be mediocre in scheme of things

U only get embarrassed when u refuse to do things right.... thats what NFF suffered with tammy

When have u seen north Africa nations process players lure and switch the way Pinnick did with Eze and Tammy

They rather go about it privately

U guys need to grow and learn

John Herdman: It was a 3-year process to land Ike Ugbo for Canada
Chelsea tried to block Herdman's pursuit of the young forward. But in the end, the Canadian coach got his man.

John Herdman

If nothing else, John Herdman is persistent.

Don’t try putting a roadblock directly in front of the Canadian men’s team coach. He’ll only bust through it, or find a way to navigate around it, and continue down the same path before eventually arriving at his intended destination.

A day after forward Ike Ugbo announced his plans to switch national associations from Nigeria in order to represent Canada, Herdman revealed it was a long process that was rife with many obstacles early on. Herdman ran into a brick wall when he first contacted Chelsea FC three years ago about wanting to talk to Ugbo, then a member of the Blues’ youth setup, about the possibility of playing for Canada.

See persistence, pursuit and commitment

Thats something the nff need to employ in pursuit of foreign born kids while we harness tge home groomed talents

Joebie:
people in this thread don't even know Canada "begged" Ugbo

Leave them...
NFF shows they were not interested

It seems no one or dept in the nff is responsible for reaching out to this players, relating with them and trying to entice them switch to Nigeria

It will cost us nothing

jihday:
when the NFF went to beg Abraham did you people not insult them? Do you still want them going about begging players? Or is the Billing embarrassment not enough for you?

Pin nick didn't go about the tammy case well

U don't go lure a prospect like that,be snapped pics and posting what u both discussed on social media like a politician

U do this things in discreet and work things out behind the scene

So pls dont call that pinnick sojourn a professional one but a rather a political move that failed

Joebie:
haha.. Ugbo knew what he wanted? There were also stories that he was switching to Nigeria. So how did it change to Canada overnight?

NFF should be asked

The lustre attitude towards this players switch should be worked on

Danielnino00:
Your obsession with seeing foreign born players litter the national team isn't making you reason objectively..

Are you expect Pinnick and Rohr to be calling and begging them to come play for us?
The simple thing is for them to publicly declare interest, then from there we can start the process of clearing them....

I used to think you reason objectively

I made my comment preceding the previous post i made regarding how Ike switch was sabotaged prior he opt for Canada

If the NFF was competent as u try argue why was the process fouled

U need to start thinking both ways

Kog45:
Thank you humility...Lookman switch,still not believe the stories saying he rejected Nigeria thrice without any news on it.

I need a very credible source on Lookman switch palaver and what about Ejaria Ovie.

Anyone who thinks with both sides of his brain will not exonerate NFF from this mess in some cases
