Like i will always say "Don't judge a team with it's third group match especially if they had already secured qualification and top spot".

We match to the next round as Group winners

Which is nonsense and only working for him because he is an age grade coach. For you to play attacking football you need to hv all the required components to make it work.

Your players have to be highly technical, creative and fast while you have 2 reliable CBs with a good DM. Also your rb and lb have to be very fast and energetic to bumb tro and fro with ease
See this is why I am still of the opinion that Manu should remain as an U17 coach. He is good at talents hunt no doubt but his tactics are always suspect. Look at the 2013 U17. It was all running and attack. Sometimes u wonder which position which player plays. Or what formation the coach adopted.

My major concern now is Manu has failed to produce good attackers this time.

Manu garba will fail woefully in men's football just like siasia. Football tactics is not only based on attacking always, as the you attack your team ought to be disciplined defensively as well.
The strength of Manu Garba's teams has always been in the attack.

forgiveness:
Do you even know the meaning of Ethnic prejudice before you start throwing the word upandn?

Your comment is the epitome of Ethnocentrism, that that births prejudice.

Ethnocentrism simply means vilification of an out - group and glorification your own group. Understand?

Exactly what you and your cohort are fond of doing but you are unconsciously aware of your actions or perhaps, premeditated.

I have seen you and your cohorts used gutter words to describe or vilify other ethnic groups while you praise yours to high heaven but your vilification is not enough to undermine the achievements of others.

Can you list the top five greatest Nigeria players let me see? grin

Including the ones that were discriminated due to prejudice.

Agreed, SE is ahead of SW in African Champions League and League cup but how is SS ahead of SW in these regard?

Which FA cup? The one in ya village? grin

SW is ahead of both SS and SE in FA cup. Fact

The same way SW is ahead of SE and SS in Africa cup winners cup and par SS in CAF cup.

However, the African Champions League Eyimba won, na only SE and SS dey the team? grin

My Aboki brother even dey the team. grin grin
Come! Are we still on this tribal issue?

Chairman we have moved on to other things abeg.

I wish Solomon Islands dey our group.... Walahi... grin
Honestly FIFA is not being fair. How can the Oceanian Federation be producing 2 teams.
It is always New Zealand and one small Island that will come and be packing goals. Fiji, Tahiti, Tonga, Solomon Island .

Now when it comes to the Senior Works cup where Europeans dominate, they produce 16 team out of 32. Africa has been dominant at the U17 level yet we have only 4 slots! Imagine traditionally strong teams like CIV, Mali, Ghana, Guinea and Burkina Faso repeatedly not being part of the U17 WC. Imagine having an U17 WC where all these team are present. And to make issues worse the useless CAF gave only 2 slots to WAFU! angry

Africa deserves more slots at the U17 WC and WAFU equally deserve more slots at the CAF U17.

yeah sure...
sir goodjoe talked about this lazy scouting by manu garba recently and we all thought he was joking....
there is nothing wrong in doing a through scouting operation in the six geopolitical zones.... one each in Rivers, Ogun,Kano,Abuja, enough and Sokoto State...
it makes for a thorough search and help get the best....
In your imagination he did the selection only in Kaduna right? grin

Go and find out about the selection process for this team.

Humility017:
there is no one toying tribal lines save for few myopic fellows here...
I for one registered my displeasure against amuneke team of 2015 as it was littered with players from the south eastern region and I think none was from the core north... that alone doesn't speak well and none manu garba is replicating same script...

if we don't condemn what is evil in this country, how will the country make progresshuh

manu garba, amuneke and few others are the few brains we've got presently as far Nigeria indigenous coaching circle is concerned and we must not let this men rubbish their coaching talents with the rigours of tribalism and sentiments...
let's criticize them constructively when due...and praise them as well when they deliver.....

fine...there is nothing that can be done presently but for the sake of next under 17 tourney let's say the truth as it is... because the injustice you tolerate today may come back to hurt you and your clan tomorrow. ...
Oga, let's stop all these tribal accusations.

I don't think you guys know the weight of responsibility on these coaches. Why would they want to chose their tribes men as players at the expense of their jobs? Think about that.

Even though some of us expect a kind of balance in the ethnic composition of our national teams, sometimes they are balanced and at other times they are not.

Yes, a coach might chose a couple of players based on certain sentiments which could be ethnic, religious, political, economic etc. But be rest assured that the majority of players especially the key men in the team will be selected based on merit.

For those accusing Manu of ethnic or religious biase look at his 2013 team. Is it not the team that produced likes of Iheanacho, Nwakali, Mathew, Ndidi, Ezeh, Nwobodo, Obasi, Uzoho, Okon, Just from off my head.

How can we come in 2019 and accuse same man of ethnic or regional biase?

And even for those accusing Amuneke of same in 2015, things like this happen where most of the best players that emerge will just spring up from a certain region which was the case in 2015 and now in 2019.

Do you know there was no Yoruba player in Fani Amun's 1993 Golden Eaglets team?

Do you also know there were not more than one or two Igbos in Yemi Tela's 2007 Golden Eaglets?

But sometimes too, we have a mix of ethnicities like the John Obu's era of U17 and U20s.

Things like these happen. It switches sides and then balances again. But the most important thing is that they are all representing Nigeria and we have to support every of our teams irrespective of the ethnic composition.

the south south particularly Edo and Delta state have produced more footballers from the south south region....

you have
Kanu
Okocha
Victor Ikpeba
Amuneke
Yakubu
Aghahowa
Victor Moses
Mikel
and lots more...

south west have produced too...but of a truth they can't match the south east when it comes to football talents so far Nigeria have produced
Not towing any tribal lines but just want to point out some facts: From that ur list: Kanu, Amuneke and Mikel are not from the South-South.
