I like what Chuks said Emery told him when he was about to come on


Just run.....


Simple and direct but shows the absolute faith a manager has in his midfielders to make the big difference and against opponents they are not even an underdog in.


Right now, only Iwobi and Ndidi are such midfielders.

It remains this dragging opponents out of position to make things click.


Chuks also said he watched two hours as instructed by the coach.



We definitely have a man management problem in this SE setup. A coach sees a pacy forward and has no such plans to use that to advantage?


All Chuks has yesternight were just two touches of the ball. Naaaaaahhhhhh!!!


We should not give any inept fellow this SE job again and expect Miracles.


A great manager can even replicate what Mou did with porto in 2004. Doesn't need much stars in his team.


Of course having the right personnel matters.

Staying with almost full concentration against Bayern is not an easy feat.


Finally!! An SE player is in the Semis of the UCL after many years of absence.

I'll drop my support for the Super Eagles the very day any quota system or any thing indicating Nationalistic ego is implemented. Be it with dual nationals or home based players.

Koboko99:
It's really painful knowing we are not going to the world cup, damn! It hurts!!!

But what is even more painful is the insults and name calling. See growns men throwing shades and insulting footballing for not getting the job done.

You think they don't want to go to the world cup?

You think they are not pained?

Do you understand what it is to have the fate of over 200 million people in your hands ana yet you fail them?

We lost to our biggest rivals on away goal rule.

Some people are even saying the thread should be shut down. Common guys!!

We need to do better as a people!

Now we need to go back to the drawing board and start planning for the future, identify the problems and start working to create solutions if not we will end up worse.

Strength is having each other's backs and supporting ourselves through the darkest hours.

Nigeria will be great again! The Eagle will fly again!

Nff wants Herve renaird as super eagles next coach

COOL10:
And these aren't even rookies. These are old men coming out to talk crap.

AndSunGorilla:
Meanwhile the deed has been done. What next? I see us having lots of opportunities for friendlies before the WC as some of the WC participants might like to play against us to have a feel of Senegal, Cameroun and our big bredas (for now). Those games should be a chance to restart and get ready for the next ANC.
1) who will be the next coach, delay would be dangerous, I would personally prefer an expat, doesn't even need to be famous yet. But one who is ambitious with big balls. Or maybe we could try that Nigerian born guy who they say coaches or once coached in Turkey.
2) one thing for sure, Pinnick shouldn't be sacked because otherwise we get banned by FIFA
3) I would think Musa, Ighalo and even Balogun should retire but we shall see. We need to start thinking about the next four years.
4) we need a new goalkeeper coach, we need to scout for at least 2 other solid goalies and then let them battle it out with the current Folorunsho ( na God dey guard) that we have.

COOL10:
Look at these idiots on radio blaming NFF for the team list. Was it not the same squad Rohr won bronze with? Nobody came out to talk about NFF influence when Rohr was in charge.

daveP:
fact. See Asst Coach comment.

Triniti:
Tears all over the nation, time to go back to our favorite place “ drawing board “

DrLikita12:
I've been alright, thanks

DrLikita12:
Hope you're doing well.

DrLikita12:
It's very unfortunate, but I'm starting to agree that most of the time, a nation deserves the leaders she gets.

leathalbeast:
yeah more like a 3-5-2 would have suited ur team. Two defensive hustlers who can also tackle and play dirty at times and an intelligent attacking midfielder who will feed the two attackers... He could have switched to wing play and made bassey a wing back... But ur coach head die well well

DrLikita12:
We owe because we are greedy and shortsighted. We know we won't face consequences when we find someone who is willing to let us get away with it, so we do just that.
This is not specific to football. Government and private cooperations are also guilty. Many Nigerians know that they can get away with this sort of behavior by bribing someone else. Police, members of your own ethnic group, random people etc. Few people face consequences here.
Many people are shortsighted too. We care more about our image than doing the hard work. That's why The NFF is always looking for yes men.
Anyway, let me not bore you with an essay. We all know that most of our problems in this country (including football problems) are self inflicted.

TheGoodJoe:

A big congratulations to Ghana and I hope they do us proud at the World Cup. Congea again to them.

Odunayaw:
Are you saying Ejuke would have made us win?

Elnino9:
Then that calvin bassey guy..i don't even know where to start from..

Dude was just clueless...how did that guy get an invite to the national team

Even went on bringing in shehu abdullahi...omo.. God should just sound the trumpet...

DrLikita12:
How many quality coaches can you owe for that long? One or two months is one thing, anything more than that is suspicious.

Meliforme:
You are just joking.
Admit it, This team needs Nwakali.

We missed Ndidi.
We missed Iwobi.
We missed Ejuke.
We missed Awaziem.

Oasis001:
Learn wetin?

Rohr has to go, there is nothing to regret about it. Rohr tried but he's exhausted tactically. What's the Essence bokoraharam football when we aren't parading Bandits as Players.

We missed out, fine. Let's start afresh with Amuneke. Capital No to foreign Coach.

DrLikita12:
What were we going there to do playing like this anyway? Congrats to Ghana, they clearly wanted it more.
Next step is to hire a foreign coach that we can owe salary, fire him because another minister of sports does not like him, and replace him with another local coach/ex player.

jihday:
eagles will bounce back, players like Musa Balogun Omeruo Ighalo will quit, we just need to add more midfielders and we’ll be fine

leathalbeast:
yes it all about the tactics, when ighalo came in he freed osimhen and he got a few chances but the crosses too werent good enough

leathalbeast:
thanks bro ! It was a tight game, your coach should gone for two strikers in the second half but he brought ighalo in too late
