Joebie:
may we also consider the circumstances that led to Fae getting the job? Yes surprises can happen, but should we have these kind of mediocre standards at appointing coaches, because of a few surprises?

see ehhn how i see football… anything happens… u guys are looking for 3 grade foreign coach that has won afcon trophy or what…all i know is no matter the caliber of coach…if its world cup qualification at all cost thats on our mind, u guys should take it off…cos at this point sef e no sure the best coach in the world will guarantee us qualification…

Kog45:
Emerse Fae is like Roberto Di Matteo of Chelsea champions league winner,so nothing special

but he is currently firing strong even after the…ivory coast is currently topping their table

Joebie:
Problem is Chelle is not the best 3rd grade foreign coach we can get with African experience.

so pls bro name one or two 3rd best grade available foreign coach we shoud have employed

Joebie:
Let's even talk tactics. Mali had one man advantage from the first half against CIV. Scored from a screamer, and still could not win.

A tactically sound coach should have won that game. So I don't get it

bros you can’t win that Ivorian team that came with that fiery 🔥 re-enforcement… spain sef jam CIV at afcon that spirited performance will still have them breeze pass to the final…..CIV won Afcon same way Portugal won Euro 2016, same spirited showing Zambia gave….Remember Mali lost a penalty to seal them 2-0 win…Eric Chelle outclassed CIV than Peseiro did at the final…
Same spirited performance that helped chelsea winning UCL 2012 after meeting a technically sound barca and even chelsea receiving red card and messi losing a penalty, they still went ahead to the final to meet another crazy match….so Eric Chelle not beating CIV was not a reflection of the true stat of that game…Eric was hugely unlucky…..
He is not the best but he is good abeg

Joebie:
I posted the last games of Chelle in charge and people are still arguing let him play first. WC qualifying record is poor with Mali. His record post AFCON is disastrous, and yet they say let him hold a press conference first. Why do we like gambling like this?

is Nigeria Mali? even the quality players we think we have over mali, Chelle still came and chop our eyes 2-0…
He is playing in group that has Ghana,Comoros and Madagascar…these are also decent teams that can beat any country in the top 10….Mali is Just 4points behind Ghana and Comoros with 6games to play…not as if he left Mali in position that they cannot qualify again…i hate hypothetically statements though…but if Mali had left him to continue…he will slug it out with those guys above him in that group going by their form at the Afcon…Africa is just too impatient with coaches…with the Ghana is doing mumu, Post Afcon form of Mali will thrash Madagascar and Comoros and give Ghana a run for their money.
Eric Chelle qualified as table leader form a group that has
3rd place finisher
Fierce North African Tunisia.
oga lets allow him play his first two games(oh ue will even lead Chan eagles in february)…calm down, i didn’t say he the best coach, but he is decent and has some decent african tactics to play in hostile condition.
His first 16games for Mali was a back to back winning.
Even CIV themselves celebrated widely cos the match was a seconds away from PK shootout.

Joebie:
So in your manly take, any coach for that matter is good enough.. interesting!

bros Eric Chelle is not any coach…atleast he is an experienced coach and has been around here in africa for sometimes…you all are looking for a coach that won Afcon back to back, or has won epl and bundesliga….who was Emerse Fae the ivorian coach before lifting the afcon trophy?

Truidstarr:
Who is talking of praying oga? A coach had just been announced. He had not held his first press conference so we can get insights of his plans, neither has a ball been kicked in a competitive match yet he is been written off. So many women on here.

As in eeeeehnnnnn🤣🤣🤣 women full here…some said Tom Sanftiet, if they had brought him people for tear him down before his first match…

i think i have to believe in this new coach…i just went to watch his team that beat south africa 2-0 at the afcon…the attack was so direct meehn…but i wonder why couldn’t beat Namibia and Tunisia playing out a 0-0 draw with them…meeting burkina faso at round 16 and also playing fast direct attack.
the quarterfinals loss again CIV still shock me though, cos they played CIV like mad…that ivorian team was on a fairy tale afcon run. coming from almost getting eliminated and from behind to beat senegal,mali and Nigeria showed CIV was destined to win the afcon.
I just pray he clicked to a good start…we dont need any slow start in his tenure from the world cup qualifiers

sir Eric Chelle, 1 immediate assignment…just help us win Rwanda away and Zimbabwe home..:we go.
o pari

walai Nigerian go too use this man catch cruise… especially that moment they poured cold water on his head… very very funny moment😅🤣🤣🤣

>>superstitious thinking 🤔 >>
Keshi coached eagles of Mali at Afcon 2010 and was woeful, he came to super eagles and turned things around starting from the Afcon 2013 qualifiers to winning it🤔

Eric Chelle coached the eagles of mali and was beaten disappointedly at the last seconds against CIV, now he is about to coach the super eagles

hmmmmm issokay

na so one werey content creator KDC GLOBAL, burst into iwobi to do a selfie video capture with him..mumu start dey talk wetin dem no send am

see their conversation
KDC : im with the best
Iwobi: (cuts in) oh no thats not me sha
KDC: no! you’re being played out of position so sometimes you should understand
Iwobi: (cuts in) thats anyones decision, if you think im the best i will take that(pulls away from kdc video-posing grip)
KDC: (while iwobi walks away) and i love your music though
Iwobi: oh thank you bro

https://www.facebook.com/kdcglobalcomedian/videos/1043844924421748/?fs=e&mibextid=wwXIfr

all these yeye distractions is not needed in the camp walai…especially that Kdc wey like to dey shine teeth like turkey, just because he traveled to CIV to witness the afcon we no dey hear word for that guy again….now e reach turn of CHAN eagles we no see them

Super eagles return to chan since after 2018 participation where they were beaten 4-0 in the final against morocco

elyte89:
If dis ppu equalize peren ,we don commot be dt

the time should be on 80+mins now

Nig 3-0 Gha
Chan qualifiers

solonnachi:
Other countries had it easy. How come we struggled? Can we really qualify?

my hope is very much high…if we can win our 2matches in march…even if its to scrap 1-0 wins away to Rwanda and home against Zimbabwe…will close up SA,Rwa and Ben

MD5
-SA v Les (possible win for SA takes them to 10pts)
-Rwa v Nig (a hard labour win against Rwa takes us to 6points 1 point behind Rwanda who will still be on 7pts)
-Zim vs Ben (hopefully Zim can draw or win Benin leaving Benin on 7pts(L) or 8pts(D) will have 9ja on 2 or 1 point behind them

After MD5 the group make likely look like this
SA 10pts(W)
Ben 8pts(D)
Rwa 7pts(L)
Nig 6pts(W)
Les 5pts(L)
Zim 3pts(D)
OR
SA 10pts(w)
Ben 7pts (L)
Rwa 7pts(L)
Nig 6pts(W)
Les 5pts(L)
Zim 5pts(W)

now heading to MD6 in same March
Ben vs SA(hopefully a huge chance for draw,or a likely chance for a win for benin or slim-massive boost win for SA due to the fact Benin lost/drew with zimbabwe in the last game)

Nig v Zim (hopefully a laboured win for super eagles)

Rwa v Les( a chance to bounce back to winning ways for rwanda after they MIGHT have lost to eagles in previous match)

After MD6 the teams above us may be likely topping us with just 2points

if we draw or lose to Rwanda in our first game in march,😂🤣 i don give up🙌🏻…and especially if zim beat benin and SA beat lesotho

TheSuperNerd:
TheGoodJoe and I had another conversation this evening. He is feeling even much better and only need to watch his sugar levels so they don't spike. I have relayed the best wishes of this great thread to him and he is grateful and of good spirits. All is well.

Thank you all for your prayers. 🙏🏽🤝🏻

exactly what was running tru my head…abeg reduce sugar intake ooo…ahh omo “diabetic-mini stroke”…..kai Jesus christ…i hate that name “diabetes”
Thank God he is fine now

Sugarboyy:
AE made a very big mistake, he should have contacted you first or asked Nigerians to vote for who Nigerians wanted him to vote for before he came out to vote Messi since he was representing you guys as Nigerians.
It's the same you and your likes that are also praising the Ivorian coach for voting Lookman when his country man was among the top 5 list. Since you clapped for him, does that means he voted for Lookman base on what his country wished for since he was also representing the whole of ivoire coast?

It was clear that Banda would win the Women Player of the year, would you have clapped for AE if he had voted for Banda instead of the Nigerian representative?

[/b]I insist that most of you are always fond of complaining, you guys have been wired to complain over everything else I see no reason for the complaint of who AE voted for when no Nigerian was on the FIFA list. [b]

And since according to you AE was representing the country with his vote, what makes you think most Nigerians would have voted for Vinicius or Bellingham over Messi if Nigerians were asked to vote on behalf of Nigeria? 🤔

this is one big reason nairaland dey always tire me to come🤣…ive been following everyone’s post and just shaking my head at those blaming AE for voting for Messi…sharp sharp dey don dey downgrade his personality and qualifications… like people can complain die when dem no like or want you again😅😅….i cant wait to hear the announcement of the new eagles coach jare….we just need to win our March qualifiers shaa

femianski:
It would be very hard for us to win it. Don't forget Morroco are the hosts and they'll use every of their dirty tactics to win it and the officiating might be on their side. WAFCON 2022 comes to mind.

i bend if morocco win afcon…anyday anytime make Tunisia, Algeria, or Egypt catch them

Thank you Jose peseiro for being part of Lookman awesome stats

to score a hatrick for europa final alone na beans?…dem no born any body well to do ojoro and not give lookman

All the fear fear people…i hear from source bla bla bla…private jet brought Hakimi yen yen yen😂🤣

Bannedlargejr:
I disagree. For people to watch 2024 ANC and say that starboy was a better player than Lookman at the same tournament signifies that, there are other agendas and favorites on these platform that cannot be hidden. The same people disregarded CAF that included Lookman at their CAF XI. Some of them might be upset that, the bobo is extremely professional and doesn’t engage with clowns

this thing you dey talk, there is no way you can make me hate Lookman and Osimhen…Lookman started playing for super in eagles in 2022…so na when u start dey watch super eagles b that.
Lookman is good, Osimhen has been beastly and still maintaining his topnotch beastly status…He was a fire to behold at ANC

Bannedlargejr:
Showed up by missing sitters? For nigeria, starboy nor Dey perform against big teams (not yet) I.e vs ghana WCQ or vs Ivory Coast ANC final but he go destroy moi moi teams

this is just exactly what you want to achieve here…just to shade osimhen…e sure me say Lookman is not your fave player, you just want to use the fact that he is doing well to talk osimhen down…oga osimhen has been firing on all cylinder and representing our national colors since 2015(current record holder for most goals in u-17)…if you are a die hard Nigerian super eagles fan then osimhen should have a soft spot in your heart…you dont need all this lookman praises to tear osimhen down….both of them are extremely good players….you should be glad NFF got it right by birthing and discovering a highly world class player in osimhen…stop all this childish talk down

Bannedlargejr:
In three weeks my boy ademola will be crowned as the APOY and if yesmen like, make it pain them well. Na their pawpaw business

oga dey calm down, Lookman is 1big player everyone love here….we are all supporting he wins the APOTY….no come dey start one kind narrative that you are lover of lookman while the rest are a lovers of osimhen…because i no understand your statement

“ in three weeks my boy ademola will be crowned as the APOY and if yesmen like, make it pain them well. Na their pawpaw business”

TheSuperNerd:
Taking nothing from Lookman who is well deserving of the APOTY but let us be 100% honest abeg with the Afcon tales.

Without Osimhen as the Focal point and arrowhead of our team, Nigeria's attack would have been toothless with our ultra defensive approach. Osimhen's battering ram, pressing 9, well rounded striker performance was the shoulder Lookman stood upon to shine at the Afcon.

No other number 9 could do what Osimhen did at the Afcon in that defensive setup AND IN A LONE STRIKER ROLE. NONE!!! From Awo to Boniface to Moffi to Sadiq... NONE! Nada! It is the deep realisation of this that makes you appreciate Osimhen even more.

powerrrfuuuuullllll🔥🔥🔥 i love this🙌🏻🥰

Iheanacho scores for sevilla

Alex Iwobi🔥🔥

Bannedlargejr:
It was a team performance but ademola look man was our best player and dragged us to the final. Without look man performance, we wouldn’t had reached that final. Moffi couldn’t even get any minutes until the semi final

you are right onLookman sha..but bro nothing wey una go tell me, Osimhen was hugely instrumental to our Afcon second place finish

Subzerooo:
This is the lie of the century, anybody who watched Afcon knows that Osimhen dragged us to the finals, strikers are not only judged by goals but by there performances also

thank you sir…OSIMHEN DRAGGED US TO THAT FINAL
Scored 1goal and made 3 struggling assists….
person wey be say his disallowed hustling goal against SA sent like 3 rich men to their early grave…..
-Kudos to lookman for being spectacular and always at the right place to pounce on begging chances.
-Kudos to Ekong for stepping up to slot in cooly our PKs
-Kudos to osimhen for not totally fading away even when he was not scoring…..if e sure peseiro he for drop am to the bench after the group stage matches….wether no be beaten cameroon go use purse us like thief….
if Osimhen had been dropped to the bench, its most likely lookman will score but Nigeria will not cross that stage…is it lookman that wanna keep those rugged african defenders on their toes?
Osimhen would have been heavily criticized if he had been a ghosted passersby at the afcon.

ChrisKels:
This platform is getting filled up with what Patomiliki terms "football know-nothings". These kind of people are the ones that also come here to tell us that Kanu was terrible because he didn't score at AFCON, yet in most cases it was a simple brilliant move or assist from him that won us most crucial matches.

Lol if we didn't have Osimhen in that team, especially with the type of anti-football tactics deployed by JPez, we would not have beaten CIV, Cameroun and even SA.

Till tomorrow, people praise Emenike for his goals in 2013 and rightly so, but to me, Ideye was also a Trojan warrior. Osimhen did not only shine, but was also the person who watered the garden for the likes of Lookman to thrive too.

Too many mumu takes in here lately. Sometimes I wonder if someone has introduced this thread to these Facebook boys 🥱

asin ehhhhnnnnnn, how can someone who watched afcon from jan to february say osimhen was terrible, and you claim to be an old time analyst here…rubbish!!
if not for clinical goal scoring prowess of lookman, i would have placed Osimhen ahead of all the player that played at afcon…but for fairness of goal delivery i will rate lookman over osimhen….but laiye laiye nobody can tell me osimhen was terrible at afcon and i wont reply your moniker…who you be na
