.....if fact those that grew up in owerri in the early 90s can tell you why kanu nwankwo rose to prominence and a more skillful mate ekenna nnado did not

Your question has nothing to do with what I have been typing. Stay within the context of my post if we're discussing my post.

If oliseh was so bad as they have painted it, how then did he set all the records? With which players and staff? Shouldn't all of them be against him or at least most?

Make we reason am na.

Some poeple already have a pre-assumed mindset of Oliseh so anything that supports this, they lash on.

When things was rosy and he was enjoying good performance, some here we're putting up the 'but' in their statements waiting for one slip so they can say "I told you".


Weird set of Nigerians.

somehow:
I read it and it's still the same "blank or general statement" things.

Meaning he got sacked because he dared to behave like how successful coaches behave at his own level?

If you check those against him at the club, you won't be surprised to find out that they are the unchangeable lots who are not ready to have anyone come change things without them.

somehow:
Who are the players he "disrespected" at fortuna, and also those staff and workers?

It's easy to paint people bad when they are to be thrown away.

I have at least read how he demoted some of their old players there who happened to be blocking the progress of the club and we all saw the effect in the club's performance

Some people are known to be against change and when they encounter people who come with drastic one, they fight tooth and nails against it.

Oliseh is a change enthusiast which happens to be very vocal, opinionated and blunt. These characteristics aren't what people are ready to face. People with these traits are hated almost by everyone who aren't in line with change or such character traits.


BTW, Ferguson was foul mouthed as a coach and even dealt with some known players.

Same with Mourinho
Same with Simione.
Roy keane

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/879086-the-20-angriest-coaches-in-sports
Same with Pep but he's very discreet with his own ways.

We have alot of coaches with these traits, difference is that they are already big so people don't count these traits as biggie again.

Maradona isn't left out, same with Gatuso.

List goes on.

somehow:
Which still raises my question: what is that bad attitude that "only" Oliseh has that other coaches don't have?

Is it that a new coach isn't suppose to have it even if it's in alot of successful coaches?

Loogan:
Lol bro take it easy on him now, he could be your younger brother you know. Guys making mistakes at his age is not uncommon, but I'm not sparing him any criticism his unprofessionalism is disappointing.
I never said he was better than ighalo I only said he was stronger!

somehow:
Define bad that's only found in Oliseh and no one else.

Define the bad that only Oliseh needs to be "rebuked" on even when ohers have it and are never rebuked like the way some do when it comes to Oliseh.

Loogan:
He's one of those who have been in camp, played and rohr looks like he likes the boy, won't be so quick to rule him out just yet.
But if he does lose weight and play and impress! I don't see which other power playing skilfull striker we have in the SE! This guy is probably stronger than ighalo bro, this guy came in about 20mins and bambozed senegals defense. Boy wey him and bailey leg jam bailey "iron man" fall for ground!
He's not called the beast for nothing.

Humility017:
I tell you...from his act with those english runs gurls...that was exposed I seriously fear for him...he is someone I really don't want in Russia anymore because I fear he gonna be a bad influence on the rest players...giving to wild party and drinking...

the team being filled wit young players need to stay focused and necessary steps need to be taken to aviod distractions...

just take a look at ideye, sadiq umar, oshimen see how ambitous this kids are...
the desire to make the world cup squad is really driving them to go extra mile...

soetanoreoluwa:
You never stated the cup.
Sammy doing well

But sani later turned to highest goals scorer.. Where is sani Now?

Sammy ameobi is not doing well either

daveP:
Not atall. I understood you. I guess the absence of the smiley made it look like I was offended. All cool.

TheSuperNerd:
Okay Sir.. no wahala... but I recall I was the first one who pointed out that the visit possibly had a timeline.

tbaba1234:
It appears Maduka Okoye has confirmed his invitation for March Friendlies.

daveP:
Nawa o. Someone cannot speak in English again ni. Did I write "overhype" or what?

TheSuperNerd:
It would be nice to see him even if it is just for the feel of being with the team but I doubt he would be tested in these friendlies because these friendlies will also serve as our final real match action preps for the goalies Rohr will wanna make final decisions on.

But I won't mind being stunned with another twist from Rohr's mind...

We are here probably playing checkers with who Rohr may settle for in the Goalie position while Rohr is busy playing Chess... loolll... Really hard to tell now that Rohr still mentions an Enyeama and Akpeyi... I just tire honestly. Let the friendlies come already.

TheSuperNerd:
Hmmm... probably indeed Sire... If I also go strongly by CSN's reports via contacts with the Super Eagles media officer, Toyin Ibitoye. Young Okoye seems not to be in the picture for the WC.

Rohr Keeps World Cup Slots Open For Enyeama, Akpeyi; Monitors Uzoho
By David Meshioye

https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/IMG_20180128_000446-600x400.jpg

Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has stated that the goalkeeping slots in the World Cup squad are still up for grabs contrary to rumours doing the rounds that he may have made up his mind on the three goalkeepers for Russia 2018, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.
In a chat with Completesportsnigeria.com on Thursday, Super Eagles media officer Toyin Ibitoye disclosed that the former Gabon manager is leaving his options open in the goalkeeping areas of the team, adding that the likes of Vincent Enyeama, Francis Uzoho, Daniel Akpeyi, Dele Alampasu and Ikechukwu Ezenwa will have to fight for the three slots.

Enyeama, who is retired from international football, only recently recovered from a long-term injury and has been inactive for several months, while Akpeyi has not been impressive in his recent Super Eagles outings. Youngster Uzoho is no longer a part of the Deportivo La Coruna first-team squad despite impressing while standing in for injured senior keepers in LaLiga games.

“I can confidently tell you that Rohr has not made up his mind on his best three goalkeepers that will be going to the World Cup. He said Enyeama, Ezenwa, Uzoho and of course Akpeyi will have a chance to get the three slots allotted to the goalkeepers,” Ibitoye told CSN.

“He said he is leaving his options open in a bid to get the best from the goalkeepers. That is where the international friendly matches come in; Rohr will be looking at the players closely and those matches will play a huge role in determining who goes to the World Cup.”

Meanwhile, Ibitoye revealed further that Rohr is eagerly looking forward to goalkeeper trainer Enrico Pionetti’s report on his visit to Deportivo La Coruna goalkeeper, Francis Uzoho. The backroom staff is expected to brainstorm on Pionetti’s report bef ore Nigeria’s friendly match against Poland.

Russia 2018 WC Countdown: 118 days 15 hrs 57 mins to go

Icon4s:
Nobody is saying we should just flood the team with foreign based players. As many foreign based players as we can get that are good enough to make the team let us get them.
And leave the financial side for the NFF to handle.

comodo:
Mearnt all eyes will not be on him, unlike Salah & Mane that will recieve all manner of flying tackles etc

daveP:
He is slowly becoming like our most important player. like the way the media are not hyping him as Mane and Salah. These two go hearam for WC.

chrisooblog:
bros Na so all of dem dey talk Na who no wan go world cup but on a serious note I think you're being too paranoid about this austin former goalkeeper issue from the little information I know ejide is not an alloy agu boy and besides even though nothing was proven the match fixing matter is still fresh in the memory

Icon4s:
I don't see him as one for the WC either, but I think he still deserves a place in the squad in one of our friendlies or the 35 man list.

Talking about Sadiq Umar benching Ajayi. That was quite some time ago. How has Sadiq's game progressed since then?

After all Manu Garba dropped Etebor and Ajayi from his 2015 U20 squad. Today where are the likes of Bulbwa, Mathew, Awoniyi and Sokari who made the team. Compare Sokari with Etebor who are like a like for like to each other

Several factors influence players selection. So because Sadiq benched Ajayi at Rio and Sadiq is not being considered yet doesn't make Ajayi not good enough for a consideration.

tbaba1234:
I never accused the Manu of taking bribe

But one thing is certain, he left his best players on the bench. Iheanacho, Yahaya, Isaac Success, Chidera Ezeh, Nwakali, were all left on the bench in favor of the home based boys like ifeanyi ifeanyi, Godwin savior who did not have clubs at the time.

We under-performed even though we had better players on the bench. His selection in that tournament baffled the imagination.

forgiveness:
How can we compare a player that made CAF team of the year with Sadiq Umar, Taiwo Awoniyi and Victor Osimhen?

I don't think they are in the same level. No, not at all.

His only problem is, he has many players ahead of him but it doesn't mean he should not be given the chance.

bengine:
Isn't this a sentiment that won't ensure us get the best talent..why don't you say good scouting and selecting the best regardless of where you are from.. By limiting to 20%FB, you are already setting up a quota system..

The fact is most of this foreign born have a good platform and can be nurtured easily at this foreign clubs..by getting them to commit early with a U20 tournament, Nigeria senior national team can only benefit from it..

I'm not against grassroots players, if there are that good, they should be able to displace any foreign born since most FB are not full time professionals yet at 18yrs..its this kind of thinking that made us loose Alaba!! Today we can't even boost of an above average truly left-footed left back on our national team.

I just dont like the idea of setting a quota system for the U20 team..

tbaba1234:
Manu Garba abandoned his best under 20 players on the bench and went for those who were largely still homebased to help them find clubs. The result was a poor performance which did not help anyone find good European clubs.

If you choose your best players regardless of where they are based. The chance for a good tournament is high. This improves the chances for the home-based to find good clubs.

SerVik:
The question of FB for flying Eagles is a tricky one.

Spending scarce resources in terms of flight tickets and logistics for players all over Europe to turn up for an U20 or U17 camping is something many might not see as a wise pursuit.

It doesn't only affect Foreign borns. Sometimes even homegrown talents that moved abroad are excluded from qualifiers for this same reason.

Coaches then make do with the available homebased players. By the time these set of players qualify for the world cup, they'd have gained some level of chemistry and camaraderie, so much so that it becomes difficult to drop these players for the foreign based and dual nationals.

Injection of new players into these set is therefore not wholesome, as very few new additions are made. That is why a player like iheanacho, even with his exploits at the U17 and man city, was still made to sit on the bench for a homebased player at the world cup.

Icon4s:
I said it, but Bascovanveli, who prefers to project his " Pure Gold " said it is because he is my boy.

Junior Ajayi remains one of our most underrated strikers. It is not every player that I clamor for a national team invite.

He deserves at least a place in the 35 man list. I see him as a better prospect than Brown Ideye and Anthony Nwakaeme. His profile has continued to rise and I see him moving to Europe pretty soon. He obviously is one for the future even if he doesn't make Russia.

Lucque:
How did nothing stop him,?? he wasn't called na... E for just go buy GwG jersey fly himself to camp and join d players??... I dnt believe it will affect our HG development if we pick 90%
FB based on merit ND quality.
Mind u we have been using HG all this while ND it has not translated into anytin tangible... D quality we parade in u-20 world cups are always not up to d expectations... ND saying dat starting now to integrate FB into d fold will affect grassroots development is not true cos we have been using HG since ND I dnt see much development

forgiveness:
What about if the HG doesn't have the quality of FB and they are fighting for the same position, should we drop the better one and pick the lesser one because we want HG?

Is it about HG or about choosing the best?

Please, don't forget that the same HG rule denied us David Alaba.
