Those carpenter you made mention of they are not the mainstream of our team. maybe you should have make use of the word ''apprentice'' which will come good with time bar ogu which age is not on his side.


Is better to have an average team giving you result than a world class team that is underperforming. Oga chriskel we are not saying you should hail the team but objective criticism is welcome. those Carpenters( this word is very offensive please don't use it to address any super eagles player again) is what we have now and am very sure they will give us the desired result.

Supported whole heartedly without any emotive bias.
Bro u were away for quite some time. Hope all is good?

Monaco was already shot in the head before the arrival of Thierry Henry. They have to be patient. He does not have a magic wand. If the team was so good, they would not have thought of hiring a new manager.

As I said, Simeone led River Plate, the Barcelona of Argentina to the bottom of the table. That did not mean he is a poor manager.

I know Monaco was an already sinking ship. But losing 0-4 at home to Club Brugge will definitely get the management and fans thinking "is Henry the right person to steer back the ship"?

Anyways like u said, let's continue watching till not just January, but till the end of season.

That one, na from exams hall you go begin de sweat even with the fan on.

O boy no be small thing o. Every where go Fes dark, be like say make u faint especially if them just announce say "3 mins more!".

junnyjake:
Chai!
I know say you for just keep face like dog wey Don lost.

U mean something like...

TheGoodJoe:
The point is Henry is not a poor coach but needs time to rescue the sinking ship. He did not take over a stellar side. The rough patch is normal and with time he can steady the ship.

Men, but losing at home not to Barcelona, Bayern, Real Madrid, PSG of this world but to Club Brugge. And 0-4 for that matter.

The management and Fans of Monaco have every reason to think "hope we have not shot ourselves"?

TheGoodJoe:
What of Diego Simeone and Rijkaard who played at the highest level for club and country?

Even Diego Simeone had a very rough patch in Argentina. It takes patience and belief to swing the tide in the direction of the coach. Even Keshi had a rough patch with one of the junior teams before it clicked for him.

Unfortunately, football lacks patience and result is what people think about.

I hope Henry gets the support he needs from the management. He can do it with time. If not, he looks for a smaller club in France and keep trying.

Diego Maradona, Ruud Gullit, Marco Van basten, Frank Rijkaard, Michael Laudrup, Ronald Koeman, Gary Neville, Paulo Di Cannio, Franco Zola, Kevin Keegan, the list is endless.

As I said "most" and not "all" have failed as coaches.

Not the key word : "Most" and not "all".

Zidane.

1/100. Lol

Chrismario:
Top players = poor coaches
Poor/average players = good coaches

Irony of life

Yeah mostly true.

Look at Nigeria's top footballers and see their coaching careers:Amuneke, Amokachi,Siasia, Oliseh. JJ and Kanu just respected themselves no try am.
With the exception of Keshi who by the way did not play football at the level most of those above played. Siasia too tried sha and of course he didn't play at the level those on the above list played.

Truely, the average or below average players are the ones that make good coaches.

junnyjake:
Lolzzz,

I don solve maths for this life!

And that pic, I think, I've experienced something like that before, I was getting -45 as my final answer and my mates - those ones wey their head de catch fire, de tell me say na 0.89 be answer.

Imagine when dem go give u word problem and your answer go be like -45boys. Lol!

junnyjake:
Even the ones that are currently successful were not that good during their playing days.

Exactly!

See how Maradona failed. Why Pele too no try?

I have always told people that someone like JJ Okocha can never make a good coach. I have held this opinion since his playing days. Many of them are technically gifted but tactically deficient.

tbaba1234:
She is engaged to Azeez, the beach football player.

Ow really?

junnyjake:
You no see wetin de do AC Milan?

From Inzaghi to Seedorf and now Gatusso.

Very soon Cafu, Dida, Kaka, Pirlo and the rest will come do their turn in Serie F.



Though, Gatusso de try pass the rest sha.

Honestly with the exception of Pep most other ex-footballers have failed as coaches.

junnyjake:
W.T.F!

Thiery Henry should be fired ASAP.

He obviously needs to go back to the bakery men. Thank God he, Vierra or Arteta were not given the Arsenal job as were rumored then.

All these former players wey think say being a good player will automatically make u a good coach.

See The Igwe of Arsenal losing 0-3 at home to Club Brugge

Modified: 0-4!

do4luv14:
hahaha for were me run ke??,

thing is, I had dis ability to guess correct maths answer without workings?,
so I was much surprised, cos those workings usually end up misleading many, so I do away with Dem,

on that particular day, I had do away with working as usually, even after a warning from my friend and sat mate, the thing that greeted my work was a big 0 with an insult, and asking me to see him in his office to explain how I got mine answer,

the funniest part is that I got the answer jst right,

since then, manying a workings to get my guessed answer in math's had fail me no be small

Na him be say u no jam the kine maths wey be say......

Taliban:
Correct but I didn't suggest u0 team. I didn't suggest anything o or prescribe what they should do. They can talk about positional play and effective penetration of defences

Where can I buy detergent and holy water, I need a lot.

Chineke!!!!

Taliban:
Dat kain marriage go hard. Husband moving like sailor, from Turkey to London to spain. Wife sef for china, how E go work

Banker no dey Marry Banker?
Engineer no dey Marry Engineer?

No be for Ken to arrange her one Turkish club too?

Taliban:
Yes error of thinking, apologies.

Emotive error of thinking o. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. Na the cause be that.

Taliban:
Especially that girl wey dey China wey dey always call Ken Odogwu. Small thing, odogwu odogwu.

Omo e surprise me say Ken no marry her o.

Taliban:
On a serious note all the best to both teams and hopefully both teams beat SA at home.

While we have some key players absent it seems SA might even have more players absent so let's see how it goes and can Rohr reinvite Henry? If he's fit, why not use him.

Falcons are playing Bayana at the AWC in Ghana, Cape Coast precisely and not in SA. Ow k that was why u opined they should be lodged together?

Taliban:
Excellent. But biko what have they achieved with the midfield?

Beating Chad who are stronger than Libya. Lol

jieta:
You like running down our team against Ivory coast all the time. they have the best team in Africa yet could not even qualify for the knock out stage on two occasions of being to the world cup. i don't know how many times it took Nigeria to make a statement in the world cup. maybe you should tell me?


I agree, Nigeria have an average middle fielders. but yet this average middle fielders are unbeaten in the last thirty six world cup qualifying( one of the best in Africa) and only bested by Brazil and Spain, this average middle field is third in Africa and the only team to have been to the last three world cup.

And your world class middle fielders of ivory coast are in what number in Africa ranking please remind me. The good thing is that the last time the both team melt Nigeria came top so show some respect

U dey mind ChrisKels? Na him way be that. Dem don find food give am by mentioning Fufana. Him no gree us hear word again.

Taliban:
For synergy and inspiration could they be lodged in the same place and maybe even pair them sef?

In 9 months time we will have another set of national team players. We go call them under 0.

M7even:
Nations cup is next year, how would a team like Liverpool fare without 2 of their key players. They both play for credible national team and can be seen as title contenders.

Well, maybe Solanke might come in handy just saying.

Oga seems you are not up to date with CAF related issues.

do4luv14:
odd things that equation did to me, it took me back to my jss2 days lolzzz, and you got my back, that's how it was oga ICON4s you try ooo

We don dey know those wey dey run out of class once Maths teacher land. Loz...

Toseenlove:
No need lamenting, Nigeria is a "CURSED ENTITY" and under SPELL.There is nothing that can be done about the country and its habitats. The only Solution is Exterminating every living things it harbours then start a fresh with only the WHITES harbouring the country. Black Race is CURSED!

NO. It is an attitudinal thing. We can change things and get it right.

See that overflowing trash bin in that 3rd picture within the premises of an International Airport What is wrong with our sanitary sense as a nation?

BascoVanVeli:
Maybe they've already paid off the referees but seriously it is normal for government to show face once there is success. All of a sudden they will want to do handshakes before kickoff. It is nothing but a publicity stunt but players love it because it means more money.

Yeah but the current Government of Edo state has done a lot for Bendel insurance. They have rebranded the team with new Colours, New modern Team Bus, improved players welfare and their home ground is currently undergoing renovation.

I just wish the team can do well so the governor can be encouraged and do more in the area of funding.

BascoVanVeli:
Truth but I just want him to focus on his strengths right now. I think this is where Wenger went wrong, he should have made an assist target instead of a goals one. If you are going to be put under pressure at least make it be on something you are great at.

Yes focus on his strength which is dishing out those precise killer final passes but he can secondarily work on his shooting accuracy. There will get to a time when managers will start plotting out the antidote against Iwobi's strength. It happened to Hazard.

If Iwobi can improve on his shooting ability he becomes unpredictable as defenders will not know whether he will likely give a pass or aim at goal. Such AMs are typically unplayable.

do4luv14:
kaiiii, oga chriskel come oooo,
me ah don run for d border asap, before dis equation go make me miss road ;F

do4luv14, no fall my hand o. Mr Edema no teach una maths for Cardoso? Did u meet that man in school?

DrLikita12:
They probably think it's a done deal.
I hope they win but this type of overconfidence can sometimes affect teams negatively.

Hun, it is very very possible that they are unaware of the Super 8.

This is a country where so many people that should have no business in football are running football.

If the NFF were not aware of Shehu already having 2 yellow cards and still fielded him in the next game what then do u expect from an NNL club administrators.
