😄 Lol, bro you've come again. I remember asking you a question the last time we had a similar conversation and you ran away. Anyway, that's aside. Let's talk about your points.


You're blaming Eguavoen's disgraceful loss to a team ranked 126th in the FIFA Rankings on the fact that he used his second eleven for the match.


Now let's look at the so called second eleven:


Iheanacho: Multiple years of English Premier League experience. Multiple AFCON experience. World Cup experience.

Moses Simon: Multiple years of French Ligue 1 experience. Multiple AFCON experience.

Maduka Okoye: One of the best goalkeepers in the Serie A right now. AFCON experience.

Osayi Bright: AFCON experience

Bruno Onyemaechi: AFCON experience

Alhassan Yusuf: AFCON experience

Victor Boniface: One of the best strikers in the German Bundesliga right now.

Troost Ekong: Highly experienced player. 2023 AFCON MVP.


The only players there with little to no AFCON experience are Osho, Dele, Onyedika and Boniface.


Most of the players you claim are second eleven already have a lot of experience playing football on the African scene, especially at the highest level( The AFCON), yet according to you they're not good enough to beat a Rwandan team currently ranked 126th in the world abi? A Rwandan team filled with players who are BENCHWARMERS at their clubs( according to the Rwandan Coach). Shame suppose dey catch una for the kind things una dey talk.


You like talking about the number of years Rohr spent as our coach(it's 5, not 6), yet you want us to ignore the fact that Eguavoen has been in charge of the Super Eagles on four different occasions. He's been our coach 4 times yet you're telling me that he couldn't beat a team of BENCHWARMERS because he used his second eleven (that's filled with players who have AFCON experience and are doing great things in their clubs)? Haba Mana!!! 🙄🤦🏾‍♂️

Sir na since 80s I don dey watch eagles so I know what am saying or have you seen me here sugar coating.....I sabi eagles like kilode.....

COOL10:
Lol, since you want to compare both of them, let's talk about it.

Believe it or not, Gernot Rohr faced a stronger team in C.A.R than Eguavoen did with the Rwandans, and I'll tell you why.


When C.A.R defeated Nigeria, they were ranked 124th in the world. Eguavoen lost to a Rwandan team filled with HOMEBASED BENCHWARMERS (according to the Rwandan Coach) who are currently ranked 126th in the world.


Don't get me wrong, Nigeria shouldn't be losing to either C.A.R or Rwanda, but what I hate is the hypocrisy and double standards.


If someone condemned Rohr for losing to C.A.R, then that person should also condemn Eguavoen for losing at home to a Rwandan team currently ranked 126th in the world. Make we no dey use style dey do racism and favouritism for here. What is wrong is wrong.


Eguavoen has been in the Super Eagles setup for decades and has coached the Super Eagles multiple times. He's meant to know better.

villagereporter:
Yes, SE's lost to Rwanda how painful it was but I was reading somewhere that the boys were not motivated by the gluttonous 💰 guzzling and corruption ridden nff entity. Bar nff Ooso abi na Guso's intervention they would have boycott the last match cos some of the boys were owed as far back 2020 match bonuses.

Holding brief for them without, lets cut them some slack, sincerely I don't see Rwanda beating or drawing with us during the WCQ because yesterday's game was inconsequential that is why we all watched d drib drab approach.

Finally our major problem is nff

Oga just give me Olisa Ndah and case settled....

don't you see other national teams playing with purpose? Do you feel any sort of pride in sitting down and watching the super eagles drag out results match in match out? I follow bafana pages on Facebook, I follow south Africans on X, those people are not nice when it comes to rating thier team's performance after a loss. It is the nature of fans to complain, especially us since it's been ages we actually accomplished anything as a football nation. We missed the last world cup and also lost the afcon after scoring first. Even the 3 lions still get heavily criticized despite them getting to the final in the last 2 euros and making the quarter and semi final in the last two world cups.

Kog45:
Yes Bassey is not good enough and that's my opinion

Kog45:
Oga comot Bassey

Danielnino00:
Why is it that it's whenever the super Eagles loss or draw a game that we see all sort of new monikers coming here with ridiculous suggestions?
Somebody was saying we should recall Musa and Moses ..
Now, another is saying we should discard half the team and fill their place with Academy players?
Na wa o 🤣

Meliforme:
Sometimes you need severe criticism to become better.
We have every reason to demand and expect more from our players.
We have players with better skills and exposure, we retain good reasons to bring our team to censure when they fail to yield proper results worthy of their estate.

Look at Ivory Coast and tell what would have happened, if much was not demanded from the team at the just concluded AFCON.

M7even:
When I say our football has declined since the 90s. Look the way Morocco is whipping Lesotho right now.

Samueltemi337:
We are suppose to clap for them when dey lose match?
No fan base want their team to lose
So any super eagles fan reacting this way is totally okay

zicky:
Exactly, we are now comfortable losing at home. Even the 2015 set of SE that we call our lowest point were not this poor at home.

elyte89:
To me ,Southies are very unpredictable just like us..when u think Dey av arrived,na dt time one mumu country will just defeat dem at home…one thing is sure ,I can’t c any oda team in our group winning the remaining 6 Wcq games

AndSunGorilla:
The Southies are in a good rein of form now. I think their coach has built a good team. Honestly, it would be a tough fight to win top spot in our WCQ group. I think our better chances are probably the play-off route.

elyte89:
Our next two qualifying games will determine our fate if we would qualify or not..we need to win the next two matches while we hope one of SA OR BENIN 🇧🇯 DRAW one of their matches ..if we can get that ..automatically we av reduced d point gap to 2points .with this scenario,we now have it in our hands …anything short of this…we no Dey go anywhere 😎

EEGA:
In the first half, the Cheetah's pressed on our defence.They kept on attacking our 3-man back-line that you will truly wonder if there was one screening or shielding the defence.

They easily went through our midfield, thereby exposing the CBs to a barrage of attacks throughout the first half.

When things like this happens,the coach should react by throwing in combative,distributive and scoring midfielders.

Bashiru and Onyedika should have entered the game in the beginning of the second half to complement Ndidi.

Ralph's introduction stabilised our midfield and not our reversing to a midfield three.

Ahead of the start of the WC qualifiers where we need to win all our games and not our usual home win,away draw.

Bashiru and Onyedika must start in our midfield.The pair are the only midfielders that can get us goals when the going gets tough and our forwards are being marked, doubled or tripled upon whenever they have the ball.

Any of our line-up going forward or in a competitive game must have these two scorers in mid-field with Simon completing our attack.

Throw all your scoring guns in our next WC qualifiers.

Should we go with a 3-4-3, Simon starts alongside Lookman and Osimhen but must come from the left because that's his most effective position.

In a 4-2-4 which best suits both Simon and Lookman and makes our team more balanced and stable.

Ndidi starts alongside Onyedika in a double pivot.

Bashiru starts on the Right side since he is left footed, and should be made to drift into the midfield occasionally i.e playing as both RW and CAM.

Simon plays the LW.

Osimhen and Lookman leads the attack or Osimhen leads the attack while Lookman plays as a support striker in a 4-4-1-1 i.e just behind the main striker.

Simon,Raph and Bashiru have no business on Super Eagles bench.They should henceforth be part of all Super Eagles subsequent starting XI.

This is the only way for us to make it to the 2026 WC after missing the previous edition.

Mujtahida:
Please always add Ghana. They are now certified minnows.

Kog45:
Kenya are not minnow in the 80s,in fact they made Afcon 88 and i do not think Yekini had any goal against Madagascar, Comoros, Lesotho, CAR, Equitorial Guinea and Rwanda cuz it was not easy then in the 80s for these teams to face bigger teams due to strictly CAF features.

A well widespreads features would have seen Yekini scoring more than 37 goals but anyhow Osimhen is going to beat that record with ease.

South Africa came into the party late in 1991 due to aparthied but fast forward they won Afcon 96,meaning they are not amateurs....yes we beat SA, 4-0 in Lagos but return leg was war and it ended 1-1

Goke7:
We still have minnows in fact they are in our wcq and afcon groups but na we Dey fall hand. I checked through the Afcon qualifiers ours look the easiest. Imagine we had even Angola or Zambia in our group wetin the eagles for play, our boys need to be doing better

Samueltemi337:
If There was no Osimhen in AFCON 2023 we for nor reach finals
Forget say Na just one goal he score
But the penalties he won and assist took us to the finals
