I don’t think he has such ambition. He will make a good administrator instead

Listening to the podcast now

charlesemeka85:
Dlaw na just advice i give your client ooo

Mk em no lose kpata kpata, atleast mk him secure the Tonga job first then if em do well countries like Samoa, Pakistan, Indonesia,Sri Lanka or even our African brothers Eritrea fit come for am 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

We can only consider Ghaanaaa. We need to help them. They are now on the level of Chad, Panama and Djibouti 😂😂.

They don't even have a stadium.

Meliforme:
I am not disputing Fisayo's movements, he is very good when it comes to getting into the right places to receive a pass.
I understand your fascination with Fisayo, Fisayo is built for the possession game. It is very clear.

However looking closely at the point you made "He always goes to block dangerous areas.
This is something that every outfield player does on the pitch, Fisayo is even one of the poorest when it comes to reading the opponents from a defensive point of view.

He always goes to block dangerous areas and yet couldn't intercept a single pass.

Oh boy. Meli Meli

TheGoodJoe:
Tell me which central attacking midfielder you know in any top club that plays the way you are yearning for?

Creative midfield is no more a one man show but a team work business.

Kante buried them pata pata, those creative midfielders.

This idea of playing as a team to the point where individual expression of brilliance is frowned up and gradually being stamped out is the reason why football is drab.

charlesemeka85:
nooooo but e go good mk u comot mind for super eagles job and consider Tonga’s offer ooo

Just saying 😏🤣🤣

Be careful! 😡😡

What Mikel said about Eguavoen



I know the interim manager now, Augustine Eguavoen who managed me when I was a kid. U17, he was my coach, took us to the World Cup.

"Fantastic guy, lovely guy, a manager who gives you all the freedom in the world to express yourself, speaks to you really well.

"He reminds me so much of Carlo Ancelotti, no jokes about that, his man management is top. He speaks to players really well. He is so humble. He communicates with players really well, puts his arm around you.

"He gets his players on his side, that's so important. You could see coming in short notice and getting the team to play so well. You can't teach them so much is such a short space of time.

"It's about the communication, it's about the man management of making the players so relaxed so they can perform and that's what I saw when I watched the game because the team performed really well, the first game, and also the second game. Of course we didn't win it but there was so much positivity.

"The team played really well yesterday and I thought we could have won the game."

This Mikel wey body dey pepper am so be like he'd go for coaching one day. E dey him body

viccy12:
I pointed out his inability to create play the day we played Rwanda. Anyone can play one touch football ,all you need is communication. But Dele Bashiru is not that creative player we have been yearning for.

I haven't seen the Ojediran and Uche play. Until then, we don't have a reliable creative midfielder

Creative midfielders are a dying breed. It is the Kantesque type of midfielders that proliferates now. And it's such a big disappointment.

Owngoal will destroy Nigerian football one day with their many atrocious lies. They were the ones who came up with the news that Eguavoen has quit.

Turns out it's a lie.

Who saw those double hard tackles by Frank the Tank at the corner flag of Rwanda? That guy goes in hard!!

mekabuachi:
So Argentina lost yesterday... Oh wow😂🌝

Even Brazil

lbrichman2:
Omo

Elyte89 hope dey

Boniface is daring. See that shot from Lookman cross against Benin, see the cut in and shot that hit the bar today.

I don't so much like his SM antics but last last na football be my own oo.

Let's give him time.

Marjoribanks:
I am sorry, it might too late. However, 1m dollars might just make the impossible possible! lol. No be cho cho cho, Dlaw, you and your client should show workings! lol!

No problem. We will pull through. Charlesemeka85, TheSuperNerd, TheGoodJoe please we need you guys now.

elyte89:
Hold on sir…let him b d interim for d next two games….i knw I can do better Dan him .

🤦🤦Why why 😂😂😂

Marjoribanks:
Dlaw sir, I dey work on Equaveon's contract ni ooo!! lol!

Abeg oooo. This is my fear yet my joy. My dilemma and my hope, what I need versus what I desire. Chai my client, Chai Eguavoen.

Okay No problem. Can we get Assistant 1? Try for us. My client will bring great ideas to make the team play from the back and transition well. Try for us please. We can't give up now.

charlesemeka85:
cho cho cho no be small oo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I tell. Dem no know say that ball heavy for leg.

MetalJigsaw:
Rwanda is not in our world cup qualifier. Its Lesotho.

You still dey 2019. You need to port to 2024

daveP:
So the fluidity of these team is affected when Iwobi doesn't play? Yet he is the most criticized by fans. Whether game was physical or not, if he played, he will offer more for the front 3 than anyone else. I dunno about Nacho sha. What happened?

From coach to coach Nacho appears to have become a fringe player. Even on the thread, nobody seem to care. 😏😏

Odunayaw:
This one you de use mouth go at 120km/h like this. Safe journey o

Mouth no get bone oo. You for do like this, e for cut am like this, chip am like that, shoot like that. Na mouth way be that. Cho cho cho cho

TheGoodJoe:

I love long balls, but they should be to space. The keyword is to space. If you are sending the ball long to a tight area, it is careless play and creates more work for the receiver.

Most of our long balls were not to areas in space. This is due to poor buildups and transitions.

So they should work on the precision of their long balls. Semi appears to be doing floating long balls.

elyte89:
This is a very physical game …I won’t play iwobi eida but I would av introduced onyeka for ndidi earlier and leave dele bashiru till around 75min b4 bringing in onyedika

Hey hey hey 👏👏👏. Ohh NFF don't miss this opportunity ooo.

TheGoodJoe:
We need our forwards having clear chances. We can't achieve that with poor build up plays and transitions.

Playing from the back is not the only way to build play and transition. Sometimes you build from the back, sometimes you use long balls. Shikena

Goke7:
that has always been our issue, not a big fan of Eguavoen but with what I saw today, he should continue. It's been a long time since I saw Eagles full of energy and composure at the same time. They never panicked after settling into the game. It's not about the opposition most times but the mentality of the team. This team has character

Nigerians. Their cry is always gimme gimme gimme. No patience, no faith.

Walahi if I were the one in charge, Eguavoen would have continued after failing to qualify us for the WC. Yes. Success is a process that involves failure. We want to succeed, we don't want to fail. But you cannot succeed, without failing.

Jpes was losing matches, drawing matches. We allow am. He took us to AFCON finals. If it's our own, two match with bad results, they start crying sack sack sack.

Joebie:
Give him 5 years of he will surpass Rohr. And I mean this not only for AE but other local coaches that can manage players well, and be fair in player selection. I’m just saying we rate the likes of JP too highly.

I wholeheartedly agree. The only snag with local coaches is the issue of favoritism and they seem to be haunted by this idea of fielding NPFL players.

See how Finidi was trapped in the marsh of selecting NPFL players. It distorts selection.

Oasis007:
Calm down bro, ball ain't toy. Toying around with balls means nothing. How many attempt on targets they got?! Tactically we were superior, the game plan was ok.

They need to play tiki taka.

Oasis007:
....not yet bro, a step at a time. Yes we played well hence I don't understand why some folks are bitter with the match result. We are simply unlucky.

There is no need to look for a blame, AE did well tactically.

Them want 3-0 again. Trust me, once he loses one match, they will cry blood that he should be relieved from the job.

I've never seen a nation that loves magic and miracle success than Nigeria. That's why using religion to scam them works very well.

TheGoodJoe:
Heck, if the Rwandan team can build from the back repeatedly, what is Austin Eguavoen's excuse?

You can't tell me Ndah, Ekong, Ajayi or Calvin Bassey have not been coached to play tactical build up plays. So what is this excuse for the repeated fruitless long balls.

We don't play only that tiki taka pressure inviting play from the back. They played from the back. They also looped some balls. All join.

To insist that they must always play from the back is to be predictable and boring.

In yori yori we mix things up. Not one way method without variety.

Play from the back was what Nwabali tried to do and that puts our defenders under pressure.

So sometimes we need to play from the back, sometimes we need the long balls. All join.

Oasis007:
Ejuke is a Winger not a Midfielder ffs!!!

He's been everywhere criticizing players. I read his last comment, I was like wadda hell.

charlesemeka85:
This is super eagles best game since after the afcon but luck wasn’t on our side.

AE should be given the job permanently cus I foresee him even doing more with this team

I am fully for Eguavoen even if he loses some matches. We must quit this magic mentality like children. Senegal gave their coach time. It paid off. If it's Nigeria, once you fail, they remove you.

Goke7:
exactly good learning curve, am happy for the coach

We dey ever gree make dem learn? See Boniface feeling his way but we don't want him to get into the groove.

Small time now they will remove Eguavoen and we will start all over again. All the knowledge gathered will be lost.

oloriooko:
my man of the match is the rwanda goalkeeper, dude denied us 3 points

He deserves it even though our chances were even though.

Take am like that.

MetalJigsaw:
Give him time in an important match like this? This foolish decision by AE is what just cost us three points. The other is benchinng Iwobi all game.

When you're looking for goals your most creative midfielder should be on the pitch and that is Iwobi.

Okay No give am time.
