Man to man on paper we are not comprehensively better than them.

The one area we are arguably better is in the goalkeeper department.

Apart from that everything else is up for debate.

humility33:
I have begin to think that this guy have strong political backing

We may end up loosing this AFCON and not making much progress in football if our politicians begin to bring in sentiments as to who should play and sit on the bench

safarigirl:
Please, someone who knows, what's this guy's name?

This from Nedum Onuha podcast. I didn't know he talked about it. Everyone England youth got a pro contract at Arsenal at age 17 apart from him.

It's self explanatory

minfelix:
Eguavoen was the last coach to defeat the black star in a competitive match when he led the super eagles to a 1-0 Victory over the black star in AFCON 2006. He was still in charge of the eagles in a 4-1 defeat to Ghana in a friendly in London... subsequent result later followed between the two rivals
2008 Gha 2-1 Nig (coach berti vogt)
2010 Gha 1-0 Nig (coach amodu)
2014 Gha 1-0 Nig (coach keshi)
It's time to end that dominance just as we ended Cameroon dominance after the 2000 AFCON

Actually he was not , Arsenal contemplated releasing him.

However, after his call up to senior national team SE he got his first game in the EPL with Arsenal.

Joebie:
NIgeria go meet mali.. i don talk that one since.. let's see if my prediction comes true

safarigirl:
More from Ndidi

mostob:
this is no more funny

You guys should stop.

I don't think there is a time Nigeria has ever failed to make the top four in AFCON. I stand to be corrected though.

CAF Best XI Group Stage

Dem don drag CAF tire for their handle and accused them of corruption

They really snuck in Salah and Mane on the bench and ignored Pepe and Iheanacho that had a better group stage. CAF will never be able to do anything without giving their "star players" unmerited accolades.

komekn:
Sorry but in this occasion your taking Absolutely utter dross.

In the EPL many teams have fielded teams with sometimes not a single English players.

Indeed most of the teams in the EPL are dominated by Foreign players.

Nwakali was at Arsenal with probably more Nigerian origin players than most club's barring Chelsea.

I went to an U18 match years ago with Chelsea and Reading some of the players were barking out instructions in Igbo. I nearly fell over in shock

codemaniacs:
You're not realizing what 12large1 is just realizing about Nwakali.. another thing most of you forget is that football is a job and most countries will want a quota of their indigenous players playing for the top teams and earning a big paycheck.

They will protect the top teams for their indigenes and other Europe:and..

Another thing is they have a perception or stereotype of African footballers especially CAM African players. They convert most of our CAMs to DMs or FBs or WBs.. e.t.c..

elyte89:
Well if he likes let him call players from Seychelles and he maintains Dis style of play we av been enjoying so far and he's achieving good result,I don't give a damn,its far better Dan watching drab uninspiring football from players called from A leagues with lack of zeal to perform

safarigirl:
The only reason I would take Uzoho over Maduka, is because I would rather not get on the internet and see Maduka being trolled.

The preference of Uzoho over Maduka, if you dip it, is not because one is shaky and the other isn't. I have stated why people are more 'comfortable' with one player over the other.

This one is just a psychological thing, not football, and I get it, because sometimes, I also think Uzoho is better, but then I see some things he does, and I conclude they are both the same thing

Mousup40:
lol,rohr did well for nigeria? hahahaha, what a joke. rohr was a calamity for nigeria.he almost singlehandedly ruined nigeria football

TheGoodJoe:

I know you guys will bring in Paul Onobi but that is the coach's decision. Rohr brought in Okoye, Westerhoff brought in Amokachi, Eguavoen is bringing Kelechi Nwakali and Ndah.

Coaches will always have preferences.

I remember how we screamed for Michael Babatunde for Keshi carrying him to the world cup and he turned out brilliant. So that is his choice.

I repeat, it is impossible for a poor coach to do what Oliseh did at Sittard.

Voted best Coach of the Dutch Jupiler League

Saved the team from relegation to the 3rd Division in a phenomenal way even though 9 points were deducted from the club on financial irregularities by the Dutch Football Federation.

In 14 months in charge, took team from 19th position to 1st position

We won the Club’s first trophy/title in 23 years on the 12th of January 2018 (the Lucrative Period’s Title)

Qualified team for season ending playoffs into the Ere Divisie (First Division)

Helped produce a player, sold for I believe, over 2.5 million Euros to Ajax Amsterdam in Perr Schuurs.

Team’s performance helped raise the spectators to the Fortuna stadium from around 950 spectators to 8,000 spectators with its huge financial benefits to the club

Record breaking first coach to ever win 8 consecutive “home” games in Fortuna Sittard

Record breaking first coach ever in the club’s history to win 7 consecutive games (21 points from 21)

Adjudged as the Fortuna coach with best average points per game since 1980 (38 years)

After Oliseh, Siasia coached us and our setup was not bad. Before Rohr, Salisu coached us and our setup was not bad. I even remember the invitation of Raheem Lawal and how well he played.

So how can they bring in Oliseh's name?

The rot was down to Rohr.

3 Nigerian Players Eguavoen should drop ahead of their Round-Of-16 Fixture against Tunisia.
News Hub Creator
The super eagles of Nigeria will face off with Tunisian national team on Sunday in their round of 16 encounter of the ongoing African Cup Of Nations tournament, but there are some players the coach should drop ahead of the match. Here are 3 players Eguavoen should drop ahead of their round of 16 encounter.

Photo Credit: Daily Post.

1 - Maduka Okoye: The young goal keeper started between the sticks for the super eagles in their first two matches of the tournament, but it is very clear that he is not very good in making saves and he is always wet shaky. He only kept a clean sheet against Egypt because of the excellent work that was done by the defenders.

Francis Uzoho should be the man between the sticks for the super eagles of Nigeria when they take on the cottage eagles of Tunisia, the match is expected to be a tough one but Francis Uzoho is capable of making the necessary saves. He was very fantastic for the team against Guinea-Bissau.

2 - Chidera Ejuke: This is another player who should not be included in the starting lineup that will play for the super eagles on Sunday against Tunisia, he performed below expectations when he was used against Guinea-Bissau.

He played in his preferred position but he could not make any impact in the team, Moses Simon has always been a better player and the coach should not make the mistake of starting Chidera Ejuke and keeping Moses Simon for the second half.

3 - Umar Sadiq: The coach must also avoid the mistake of starting Umar Sadiq in their round of 16 encounter with the Tunisian national team. The Almeria striker is one of the worst strikers I have seen in the African Cup Of Nations tournament this year.

He squandered a very good chance against Guinea-Bissau and he was very poor in his positioning. His performance for the team in their last match showed why he is playing in the second division of the Spanish league.

In your own opinion, which goal keeper do you think should be the player between the sticks for Nigeria in their round of 16 encounter with Tunisia? Should it be Maduka Okoye or Francis Uzoho? Share your thoughts with us, thanks.

TheGoodJoe:

Because one journalist said Oliseh is a poor coach. Can a poor coach do what Oliseh did at Fortuna Sittard? That is top quality coaching.

Oliseh had a torrid time with our team. His players starved during CHAN, being owed. He even fell seriously ill at that time and was still coaching with sickness.

How long was Oliseh coach? Some months. Rohr had years and less interference. The journalist just threw in Oliseh's name to try to pain an indigenous coach badly.

TheLoneCitizen:
Your opinion, brother, but I think you deserve what's about to come for you.

safarigirl:
In case some people are not on the Space....

One of the journalists in Cameroon, says there is high competition in camp for a shirt. Under Rohr, people just used to show up for training without worry, because everyone knew who will start and who will play, but the same thing is not being seen under Eguaveon

He believes Nigeria has been a victim of two poor coaches in Rohr and Oliseh, and that is why fans believe the team has overpeaked

nelszx:
Nigeria currently is the team to beat, Tunisia has 2 red cards today with 12 players out with COVID-19 (whether they'll recover before Sunday is another story entirely).

Give or take, the game is ours to lose. It's time to really make a statement you know (roar it).

If you're on Twitter search for @Lotfiwada and see how scared to the marrow the Tunisians are

humility33:
I engaged some of them
It really pained me that there exist persons with such mindset and they were even learned in degrees

GeneralDae:
Yes because Tunisia has a superior goal difference compared to Comoros. Comoros has -2 as goal difference.
BTW Gambia cannot beat Tunisia though. Tunisia would likely win that game, I am tempted to say definitely. But no matter what happens, Group F already has a 3rd place team.

TheLoneCitizen:
For those that doubted that Guinea-Bissau deserved a penalty. Jump to 1:17
