He is a great Coach, but his ongoing is his own personality and attitude to man management

how is he a great coach?

Not good news about Sadiq Umar coming from Super Eagles camp as it was reported that he refused to shake Finidi cos he didn't have playing time during both friendlies.

Meliforme:
Yes, and very happy with the defenders chosen to play.

The defenders were not really the problem, the problem was with the midfield.

You can't indulge a play focused on possession without working extensively on your midfield.

Real defending begins in the midfield, even when the midfield is bypassed may be by long balls, the midfielders are are to track back to help the defense.

In the same manner, real attacking with the ball begins in the midfield, if the midfield is bypassed maybe by long balls, the midfielders are primarily responsible for sustaining the attack through proper communication with the forwards.

The midfielders did not help the defenders in the manner they should, and the defenders while trying to maintain possession of the ball, drew a lot of pressure to themselves.

😀😀😀 baba say crisp passing

No worry jihday …once I clinch d job, u won’t even c awaziem,collins and dressers near d stadium 🏟️ let alone of sitting on d bench 😎

if you can do that I’ll advocate 20 years contract for you

Meliforme:
I hope to see the combination of Awaziem and Omeruo in tomorrow's game, not just for the defensive duties they provide, but for the crisp passing and seamless transitions to midfield.

I hope you are happy now

I had to delete this part of my post cause I as much as possible shun arguments that bothers on tribalism and where one was born. But it's hard not to at the very least assume this was what Finidi was doing. Save for Dessers, it looked like he only played home born players except where it was almost impossible that a FB had to play. Not saying that's what happened, but if most certainly looks like it.

you are reading too much meaning into it, it’s not that deep.

skallion7:
I said it in the beginning of the match that he showing favouritism to local born players to foreign players OR he has that mentality of players born in Nigeria understand African football better and other rubbish mentality most of them has.

Cos there's no justification to playing that forward line yesterday, Moses Simon should not be starting over Ademola lookman, he's our inform forward from Afcon to club level. Tella and Fisayo should also be given a chance.

when Rohr was playing Sheu over Aina where was this thinkpiece? Finidi does same now y’all are using that to insult local coaches

TheGoodJoe:
Two matches are not enough judge. We are passing better. I think Finidi needs time.

it’s very harsh to judge Finidi, no assistants, he didn’t call the players then what he’s trying to do will take time to instill but the problem is we don’t have that time to be patient, we have a WCQ in the horizon. Finidi can continue to be assistant for now.

Playing out from the back have cost us

Amedino99:
makes sense. The cold excuse was somehow considering there are Nigerians in Norway.

even the UK is a cold country so that excuse was somehow

Kog45:
NFF treated Emma Amunike badly?

as Super eagles coach na Amunike papa right

Amedino99:
I thought he left Norway because of the cold and Chelsea jumped on the opportunity.

Sterling/chelsea established contact when he was on his way to Norway, I think that turned his head and made the cold weather excuse an easy one

elyte89:
Na striker or midfielder?

striker

Toylove:
I read that Chelsea offered more, the Norwegian league would have been better for his development sha

Chelsea also made Sterling do a video call with him, I think that kinda swayed the boy

TheGoodJoe:
It is not demise of the national team but many teams catching up to the philosophy.

The German National team were on a downward trail and had a spike after Guardiola's input. They can't think of going the old way.

2008 euro final, 2010 World Cup semi, 2012 euro semi, how were they on a downward slope?

charlesemeka85:
Calvin Bassey to miss Super Eagles friendly against Mali, returns to #Fulham for further assessment.

Frank Onyeka too

Meliforme:
You can't throw his achievements at the U17 level to the trash can. It wasn't just an African competition, Amunike holds a world record to his name.

It wasn't just that he won the competition at the world level, his ideas and how he implemented them was what stood out for me.

I’ll gladly throw it to the trash can, the fact that he couldn’t replicate it at U-20 is enough reason to judge him not to talk of his poor record at senior football

Fun fact: do you know that AC Milan’s Tijjani Reijnders was named after Tijani Babangida?
