Y Where you keep talking about us losing a match when it’s yet to be played.

Clint02:
He go save the page as offline page then copy am.

Our 2013 AFCON winning team had a very useless group stage. We barely qualified.

Knockouts is different. It's hit or miss. You can finish with 9 points in the group stage, and your first knockout games, you will be knocked out by a team that barely scraped through.

Anything can happen in Knockouts, so, I do not really agree that group stage is all that telling.

NFF COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT                   
 
Health concerns, injuries constrain changes to Nigeria’s final 28-man list for AFCON 2021
 
Lively forward Victor Osimhen’s positive test to the coronavirus pandemic a couple of days ago and injury to the versatile Abdullahi Shehu have constrained changes to Nigeria’s final 28-man list for the 33rd Africa Cup of Nations starting in Cameroon next weekend.
 
The goalkeeping department is untouched, but the forced exclusion of Cyprus –based Shehu, who can slot easily into sections of the defence and midfield, has made way for hard-as-nails right back Tyrone Ebuehi, now with Venezia in the Italian Serie A, and England –based Oluwasemilogo Ajayi returns to the group for Africa’s flagship football championship following injury to centre-back Leon Balogun. Ajayi can also play as a midfielder.
 
Osimhen’s absence paves way for Greece-based Henry Onyekuru who was also at the last finals in Egypt. In-form rapid raider Emmanuel Dennis, whose English Premiership club is baring fangs, has been excused to provide room for Czech Republic –based forward Peter Olayinka.
 
The 33rd Africa Cup of Nations finals will end on 6th February.

Mujtahida:
Like IDENNA said prejudice needs no qualification. Contextual usage will tell if it is positive or negative and nowadays it is used more in the negative so that qualifying it as negative prejudice when the context already depicts that it is used in the sense of bias against a thing or person or circumstances is superfluous.

Mujtahida:
Great, great. Komekn for someone who lives in Britain, your English should be impeccable oo. We should be learning from you rather than you corrupting our English with your English oo.

Elock1:
honestly I understand your point... It's not always about the club the player is in, but some people don't seem to understand.

Skill set, players mentality(needed by the coach) and so many other attributes

I only read, I don't comment here but people done too misunderstood you.

jihday:
merry Christmas boss

jihday:
you are confusing CV as certificate

TheGoodJoe:
It is called referencing, not comparison. I am showing you that Guardiola got the Barcelona job without a loaded CV. He got it down to his philosophy and playing pattern.

---

Are you reading what you are quoting? Slow down and read the bolded or you do not know what LOADED CV is?

TheGoodJoe:

I have been trying to decipher it.

I think W is Workrate
A
T is Tactical understanding
C is Creativity
H is height.

I wonder what A is. For height, I think you need to be in a particular height to play in a particular zone.

For creativity, I think the role and skill set of a player will determine if he takes such a position.

Tactical understanding will mean players must have an understanding of his tactics before getting a nod. So those who already know it have an advantage.

Workrate means offensive and defensive contribution. If a player can not contribute on both sides of the field, the person will not get a nod.

I might be wrong. Just guessing.

forgiveness:
Aigbogun has step up to UEFA pro License.

Eguavoen definitely has a UEFA license but I don’t know if it is A, B or Pro.

TheGoodJoe:

You understand WATCH?

TheGoodJoe:
Let me do a few pointers of what I deduced as the philosophy of Eguavoen.

Expansive play:
I think this makes a big part of his philosophy. His key is to make the field big for the opposition and make it easy to build up play to force attacks.

Attacking wing play:
Eguavoen will likely want highly technical wingers running down his flanks, with creative fullbacks that can support them.

Possessive play:
We should expect a lot of passing games, especially when the opposition are compact with a low block.

Building from the back:
Eguavoen will likely want his defenders, goalkeeper, and defensive midfielder working the ball out the back to create space for attacks.

Direct attack:
We should expect long balls to find the offensive players pressed high. So we should expect the defender, goalkeeper, defenders, and deep-lying playmaker to see gaps in front and exploit it with long balls.

Defending and attacking as a unit:
Every player from the attacker to the defenders will play as a unit. Meaning when attacking, we will likely have a high line, and when defending, everybody will fall back to form a low/mid-block.

Running game:
To attack and defend as a unit, we will expect him to pick players that have stamina and pace. So they can join up in attack with ease and trackback quickly to prevent the opposition from exploiting spaces.

Key attributes for his players:
He did not complete it but gave us the acronym. SSIT and WATCH.

He broke down SSIT.

Which is he wants his players to possess a combination of attributes. Speed, Stamina, Intelligence, and Technique. Meaning having a high degree of some of these attributes will get you a chance with the team.

Attacking football:
I think the main crust of his game will be on attacking football. We will keep the ball until we see gaps and as soon as we find the gaps, we will exploit them with speed.

There are more from the video but I only watched it once. So I will stop here.

IDENNAA:
Onyeka , I believe is a very decent option.

darkelf:
oga, let him do this consistently

Trust me, it's till march next year before he does something like this for his club

This doesn't stop him from being a carpenter in my books

My hommies , your head correct, jare!

A honest question brothers ; should we rest Ndidi , since he has continued to flounder , and ?

I , personally , feel Ndidi is slowing the team down with with his poor ball playing skills. What do you say ?

andrewbaba44:
He is not playing and he doesn’t want to leave so we need to complain .

Rodgers fit bench am for next game despite this good performance,you dig ?
