second or first division?

First division

Besides, Yekini seems one of the few African Strikers to have scored 500 GOALS IN HIS CAREER.
that is some achievement.
I once pointed it out to Supernerd.
It was based on my research

TheSuperNerd:
More reasons why Bosso's list is depressing. The only truly good names in that foreign pros list may likely not even make it yet he didn't make it a list of our truly finest U20s.

The only new name there who may come good in terms of adding some value to the team in the middle is Tochukwu Nnadi.

The likes of Ologo and Ogwuche aren't new. Both are defenders and were part of the team prior to the U20 Afcon and were at the Afcon proper.


Bosso didn't do justice to the foreign pros list. He called a mix of few good sparks and bang average baggage.

We have the likes of Krasnodar duo, Ifeanyi David Nduka and Jonathan Okoronkwo; Hamzat Ojediran based in Hungary and Rafiu Durosinmi of Viktoria Plzen. All eligible and active talents who can come in and raise the quality of the team. He ignores them or maybe just don't know about them.

Instead the list has Olubi who is unattached and a bunch of other averages.

There is a certain Babatunde Akinsola in real vallodolid.
He made their bench in the last match and he is highly rated.
There is Thompson Ishaka of Rangers
Bosso refused to call them.
Nff is cull of corrupt and incompetent coaches and administrators.
They are so corrupt they are trying to fustrate the effort of
football academies that constantly produce good players for our national teams

This is not ignorance but sheer corruption, mediocrity and short sightedness.
The corrupt coaches and administrators will be exposed with the passage of time.
They are getting outdated by the day.
By the time these players hit the big leagues of Europe it will be ridiculous not to call them.
I think their generation need to die away.
Besides, most Nigerian coaches lack knowledge of modern football tactics and
so their players are poorly trained.
It shows in npfl players. Talented but badly trained and very raw.
They have been damaged by their coaches.
A generation of bad leaders has to die away in Nff or get replaced as soon as possible.
Their brains are just horrible

The Goalkeepers #GoldenEaglets

First choice, Richard Odoh flanked by the two Backup GKs.

L-R: Temiloluwa Adelakin (Box2Box FA), Richard Odoh (HB FA), Gift Ukeh Adie (Paul E FA).

According to scorenigeria, ac Milan will not let Victor Eletu come for the u20 world cup. I don't understand u20 is a FIFA recognized tournament but scorenigeria says it is not that recognized and FIFA laws is on the side of ac Milan.
I mean he will get global exposure there. They claim he will be busy.
Nff should try and negotiate with them.
Anyway this shows he is a serious talent

comodo:
The chance slim like fido dido

Relax. We gat the players.
Thompson ishaka rangers
Ebenezer akinsanmiro inter milan
Victor eletu ac milan
Azeez balogun sao paoulo
Benjamin fredericjs
And many more.
These kids will soon break into suoer eaglea

charlesemeka85:
Tim is gonna be a super star. Bobo is in the mould of gravenbach,bellingham,pogba, rabiot kinda midfielder

I love him so much I hope the English will just allow him rep us

There is another kid in crystal palace u21 team who is also good as Tim but more defensive minded. Another to watch out for but have forgotten his name

YOu guys should not worry. Samson Tijani is the future of our super eagles midfield.
When he returns from injury, he will pick up from where he left off.
The signs are there
Big clubs chasing him from a young age
he went to Red Bull Salzburg.
It is very rare for a red bull salzburg player not to succeed.
Remember haaland, nkuku etc are red bull products.
Also he is doing well in the clubs he was loaned to
and has even played in the champions league.
In addition to the guys been mentioned, we should watch out for him.
And what more, he does not have any dual nationality issue.

Odunayaw:
Experience? What experience?

Has anybody in the AC Milan team been at this stage before?

Past experience is psychological. It weighs on the team even if the players have not experienced it before.
It impacts the players fans coaches everything. You need to break the psychological barrier to win competitions like that.
Eg morocco broke a psychological barrier by reaching the semi final if the world cup.
Also cameroon did so in 1990.
It takes winning mentality and a strong mentality.

TheSuperNerd:
Not a boast. Not a talk up. But I clearly do a better job monitoring Nigerian talents than the whole band of NFF departments put together. Even the so called media officers and scouts of the Super Eagles and the NFF don't do a quarter of this.

It is that bad.

I dont even think the NFF knows the best players in our local leagues and academies.
I highly doubt it.
I think even BascoVanvelli is better at that.
NFF is just a government parastatal dedicated to stealing money.
Politics and leadership in Nigeria is based on two ideologies.
1. Making Money or corruption
2. Shortermism or poor attitude to long term development. Our politicians cant think of the next
2 years or even 3 weeks. They are after what will make money now.
NFF is just part of the Nigerian society and so it is like that.
I'm sure our scouting department is not doing anything.

TheSuperNerd:
Isaac "The Beast" Success starts for Udinese vs Mourinho's AS Roma at the Stadio Olimpico.

Would be his 20th serie A Start of the season from 28 league games.

He has 6 assists and 31 chances created so far. No Goal scored.

Is he playing as a winger or support striker or both.
With what u said his creativity is needed in the Super Eagles

TheSuperNerd:
Anthony Shimaga, CB played all 90mins today for Feirense as they defeated FC Porto B 3-0 in the Portuguese Liga Sabseg.

It was his 2nd start for Feirense and 3rd game.

Recall he featured in the Mexico friendly game in 2021. The game we fell by 4-0.

Ocho Ochowechi is regular in the feirense midfield. Has played 23 league matches this season.
Hope he moves to a better league or Feirense get promoted.
We desperetely need midfield enforcements

COOL10:
Mourinho has a huge ego. If the new Chelsea owner couldn't work with Tuchel, I doubt he would be able to work with Mourinho.

The new Chelsea owner should manage Maurinho for 2 or 3 years.
There is need for stability and growth. these things are lacking.
I dont know but i believe Chelsea should focus on tactics and team work, discipline and organization
before they think of star players.
To do that they need a coach with a clear pattern of play who does not care about names and will
bench you if you dont perform or adapt to his formation.
Maybe a young hardworking coach with excellent results and they will give him time.
I watch Chelsea sometimes and they look like sheep without shepherd.

COOL10:
The only thing Chelsea has is big names. They're not a team at all. Brighton is making them look like primary school children.

Maybe they should bring back Maurinho.
He at least will bring team work, good defense, discipline and a winning mentality
By the way speculations are rife that Maurinho may be back

Incidentally, our present Super Eagles is becoming like Chelsea
Big names, no coaching, loosing to Tanzania or whatever

daveP:
Everyone knows that Mou revived that guy's career and form with efficient utility. We witnessed it. He wasn't bad at Chelsea but he was dropped.

I had fears for Haaland going under Pep. But Pep has done well with Haaland. I however can't say same for Tuchel.


Havertz is doing absolutely nothing significant to be used up front but he keeps getting minutes. Is he tactically better? Is he good with position and passes. What's his aerial prowess? Yet....

Second error was now getting an already weak Aubameyang to Stamford again. You have the money and the means and can't still go for great 9s. Na Aubameyang (because he can drift from the wing. Imagine?)


He should prove he can do something with a 9 before Osimhen goes there abeg. Nobody should use the Lewandoski replacement talk cos Tuchel is not Flick or Nagelsmann wey sabi use 9.

Harvetz is better off as an attacking midfielder or support striker. He is not a goal scoring 9.
He should leave chelsea to a place where he will rediscover himself.
He is a square peg in a round hole ay chelsea.
It is like telling kevin de bruyne to be a striker and score 25 goals a season

komekn:
How will V.O. cope in a team where he will not be the focus of attention and the proverbial "Star Boy". He will not be guaranteed a starting position and he will be contending with players who are just as fast if not faster and who are more technically astute as well as versatile.❓Sane and Mane come to mind as well as Gnabry, to mention a few.


My view is V.O. needs a team where he will be the star boy and where he can use his exceptional skill set as the focal point of the team.

I'm not sure how is temperament will cope with not being the MAN .

Sane and Mane will complement and not compete with osimhen
Osimhen knows how to disturb full backs so that the opposition cannot build attacks from the back
and so he keeps the ball in attack and even the defensive midfielder has to help out the defenders
when he is playing.
He is a pressing striker and few strikers in world football have this quality.
As a result, he is a compliment to the team and he cannot easily be benched.
He is comming to play Lewandoskie striker role but with his own unique pressing style of play.
Sane and Mane are wingers so there is really no competition although osimhen can manage as a wing forward.
Osimhen is also mobile anyway.
but his pressing is what really sets him apart.
Another thing is that Osimhen knows how to disorganize a defence with his pressing and hustling so that
the other forwards and midfielders can move in to score due to the gaps he will create when disturbing the opposing teams defence
Again few strikers in the modern game have this quality
So therefore i dont see him been benched.
It is like saying women will compete with men to give birth.
The men plant the seed and the women carry the pregnancy.

Eazzii:
Lol. So, we should mingle with women just to hit the coochie?
Like it's some life sustaining elixir?

We need to mingle with women for varoius reasons
1. To put an end to scarcity mentality. When you have several women around you, you will
not think getting pussy is hard. In fact, you will think it is easy, thus no woman can exploit
you financially or manipulate you.
2. To understand how to seduce them when the need arises and how to relate with them.
If you dont understand women, you may end up with a woman you do not deserve because
you have scarcity mentality and you dont know how to relate with them.
3. Also, women too stand to benefit from us and i think there is need for cross-fertilization
of ideas between both sezes.
4. Besides absistence from sex should be by choice and not by opportunity

Skepticus:
This is clearly a prostitu.te and it's not a problem in itself. Prostitution is probably as old as when men started to aggregate and settle into societies, and would probably never end as long as humans continue to exist.

Prostitution has continued to be popular because a prostit.ute straight up, ask for pay to get laid - a direct form of communication, men are familiar and "comfortable" when compared with the usual "stressful" indirect, manipulative way they have to deal with when they need sex and affection from wives, girlfriends and side-chics. Men, till some few years back, won't mind laying with a girl of easy virtue (prostitut.e) but they do NOT COMMIT IN ANY FORM knowing that a woman they have to pay for sex is also giving sex to other men for pay (or even,free) as they come with attachment issues, moral indecency and most importantly, high risk of paternity fraud (as she has been imprinted by other men's personality and their DNA).


In recent years, with masculinity hitting peak lows and the matriarchy on a great rise, men are more than ever desperate, lowering the bar for mostly undesirable women. Men who go for prostitutes regularly are usually involuntary celibates who lack the physical, mental and social skill to game women and not ready to put in work, finding the shortest cut to drab, empty sex. Some just want a quick nut and move on with their lives.

Paying women for sex is not encouraged in the red pill, anyway.

What is disturbing, is seeing boys/men, (rich and broke) under great desperation to commit to women that several men have bleeped for free and for pay. Some, who call themselves rich and influential men, flaunt these ladies to the public as girlfriends even when they picked her up from a brothel, her hookup hustle or aware she has been passed around by several guys. If I have to pay (not for a quick lay alone), but also, for your companionship, love and sex, I'm negotiating desire. As a simp, call it whatever you want to feel psychologically comfortable but men in the game know this as veiled prostitution because every woman has a man she'll give up that pusssy for passionately, without stressing or having to pay for, even though she continue to extract money from other simps.

Edipet, if I were in your position, I'll reply her by telling her how much she'll charge if I bring my friend along for a 2 boy 1 girl party since she is this cheap, or make efforts to get a cut (as a love-vendor) to pass her to your friends interested in prostitutes. Charge them for that pusssy. With the perversion that accompanied the sexual liberation culture of today, these girls are wilding hard and they don't hide it anymore.

I can't believe that a man will lack the ability to seduce women to the
point of wifing a prostitute out of desperation, sex starvation and scarcity mentality.
The problem with this sexual liberalist ideology is that it seems to be glorifying prostitution
and giving irresponsible women a platform to express themselves and be proud of it.
It does not glorify a virtuous woman.
I still find it hard to believe that a man will stoop so low to wife a hoe because he thinks he has no choice.
If you are decent and can say hi to a lady you can at least attract decent ladies to yourself.
Is it that hard?
O le to ye ni.
im a low class red pill with some blue pill traits but i still get laid.
In fact, a decent lady once wanted to marry me but i ran away and she went with someone else cause i was procastinating
and she was desperate.
SIMP NO DE REACH THAT LEVEL ABEG

TheSuperNerd:
You aren't being truthful. I listened to an Amunike interview in the aftermath of that WCQ 2nd leg failure vs Ghana and he laid out some of what he was trying to get across to the players and he termed it "Transition plays" and "constant movement into space" especially from midfield to attack.

So whatever nonsense anyone was complaining about is because they just weren't willing to listen and learn from the man since he wasn't the one in charge but Egu.

Also, Amunike admitted he didn't know of the changes to the First XI for that game. He just knew of it few hrs to Matchday on matchday.

Fact remains he is the only coach of local extraction that knows exactly how to address that SE problem of transition and midfield inefficiency. He knows how to utilise Chukwueze as well in sync with thus transition play but nooooooo.... una must agend.


Fact is Coaches are hired and fired all the time. Even one of my favorite coaches, Julian Nagelsmann got fired from his Bayern job to be replaced by Tuchel. Does it mean he is no longer good?


Pep Guardiola is arguably the only manager who hasn't been fired among the elite coaches. So unless you are Pep, you will be fired and hired.

SuperNerd i suspect chidera ejuke will be good in a 4 4 2 formation.
in your words, he seems to be good in the first and second phase of attack and not just
the third phase when closer to the box 18.
He is a more traditional winger
Also bright osayi samuel, ola aina and joe aribo will be good wingers in a 4 4 2 formation.
Football is not allways about who is better than who but the tactical characteristics of each player
and how they fit into a formation or system of play.

TheSuperNerd:
I mean my good man, it's so obvious. And to make it worse, we don't have the midfield personnel to enable the progression of our plays into the 3rd phase of plays in the tactical manner that will bring Chukwueze and his corresponding Wing forwards into the game in support of Osimhen.

JPes is cramping our lads' best traits and refusing to address the tactical needs in certain roles (or maybe not refusing, perhaps he just doesn't know).

Football is about doung simple things tbe right
way and not allways about stars.
Jp should just get natural midfielders and give them specific tactical instructions and it will click. The issue is we despise players in obscure leagues but our midfielders are not in tge top 5 leagues.
Get an average midfielder in the mls or german second division and tell him to make passes to the last third of the pitch to free our forwardsn
Coaching is just as important as quality of players.
Ok chelsea problem is coaching and not players.
An avwrage team can defeat us because if the dumbness of our coaches just lke wolves can defeat chelsea.
A coach that puts rabiu ibrahim nwakali obinna nwobodo etc in our midfield will be insulted but he will be right from a tactical point of view.
Such a coach will win the nations cup snd get us to a world cup semi final while guys on this thread keep saying nwibodo is a bad player.
They will not see that we need these passers in midfield so tgat our nathan tella and osimhen can score.
The coach that will do the right thing that seem srupid to a lot of people in this forum will succeed.
In fact get victor elwtu into the team and encourage him to pass.
Its about tactics not where u play.
Tactics trump where u play
But people will not listen

TheSuperNerd:
All because I don't wanna entertain your usual pinnick dick-riding, you talk of sense gone. Well, I'm pretty sure if you "honestly" check again, you would see it is yours that evaporates into thin air especially everytime you enter Pinnick Defence mode. Adios mister.

How about Samson Tijani. How is he recoverong from his injury. I beleieve so much in him. The next sunday oliseh

At last. Bosso has learnt from thr mistakes of Salisu yusuf. He should not embrace mediocrity like yusuf did. Invite the best players from everywhere.

Kog45:
Oga anybody telling me Mikel,Vic Moses, Simon Moses and Ighalo are not worthy the hypes then they should go and watch Nigeria 2018 WC qualifiers.

That 4 1 demolishing of cameroon was a master class. Nigerian football at its best

AndSunGorilla:
We can't isolate football from the general issues in 9ja. Who do we want to rid the place of "corruption", the corrupt government? When a total change happens in Nigeria, NFF too will automatically change.

Nollywood our music industry and our ict industry was driven by private individuals and organizations and not the corrupt government. I feel the same thing is happening to our football. Somewhat somr individuals and organizations are by passing the nff and doing some things.
It might work and the nff can be dragged along but it will take time.

NIGERIA FOOTBALL IS STILL GROWING DESPITE THE U23 PROBLEM

The funny thing about the poor perfomance of our u23
is that people may think we dont have good players.
Actually, we do.
Our football academies and foreign born players have taken care of the
issue of developing quality players for our national teams
What is happening is that the administrative rot in the NFF is killing the
efforts of different individuals to develop quality players for our national teams.
Most Nigerian coaches (including Yusuf) collect bribes before fielding players
and delibrately leave out good players who cannot bribe them
This is the main problem and not lack of quality players
All we need to do is kick out corruption and maladministration from nff
The problems is that most Nigerian coaches have not been paid for months or years
and this leads to them embracing mediocrity for money and low morale and a shoddy job.
https://www.owngoalnigeria.com/2023/03/29/representative-of-arsenal-midfielder-opens-up-on-cash-for-spot-in-nigeria-u23-after-loss-to-guinea/
The link above shows it.
There is a serious need to overhaul the leadership of nff.
NFF is driving initialives like barcelona football academy in NIgeria, remo stars etc behind.
Maybe they should disolve the leadership of NFF and appoint new leaders and coaches.
What happended is i felt the effort of individuals and organizations can by pass NFF's corruption and lack of ambition
BUT alas it did not work.
Any effort to develop football is fustrated by some corrupt and strange personalities in NFF

TheSuperNerd:
Q1. ANSWER: Obviously Emmanuel Amunike for his tactical understanding of the game and his already grounded knowledge on the core of the Super Eagles main team. He knows our core players inside and out and their tactical/technical qualities. He and Morocco's Walid Regragui share a common theme tactically but both are even different in their applications across various phases of gameplays.

OR. A Cost-effective Tactically Sound Foreign Coach who can come in, pick right and get the ground rolling without the silly excuses of time.



Q2. Answer: I have done rigorous and extensive analyses personally on our team and midfield options and how their individual qualities from technical and tactical POVs can synchronise with one another and I reached this conclusion.

A midfield 3 of Ndidi/Onyedika-Nwakali-Iwobi should be the starting midfield 3 for Nigeria's Super Eagles if we are serious about fixing and upgrading the quality of our middle game dynamics.

I am non-committal for now on Ndidi/Onyedika because Ndidi is still a very experienced and effective ball winner with average passing ability and can still thrive alongside Nwakali and Iwobi but in the long run, and with Onyedika getting more caps off the bench, Ndidi would have to make way for his upgrade in Raphael Onyedika from the start.

Onyedika is not just a ball winner like Ndidi. He is also adept in ball playing sequences and would help us immensely in smoothening the rough edges of our 1st and 2nd phase build up plays. Especially the 2nd phase and its corresponding Recycling plays.


MF Options to back up the starting 3 are: Alhassan Yusuf, Frank Onyeka, Oghenekaro Etebo, Abbas Ibrahim, Joe Aribo (pseudo MF who's more of a hybrid direct forward across the final third), etc.



Q3. I won't answer this because obviously I would be misunderstood. I wish not to stir up any issues so I skip this. And by the way, Musa is still Skipper. Lol

Do you think Aribo will be a good supporting striker or winger in a 4 4 2.
Aribo is another attacking weapon we do not know how to use.
He can try Aribo as a winger or supporting striker in the next match and see how it goes
I think playing Aribo in central midfield is like telling a fish to climb a tree.
Its not really his strength.
Aribo's impotency for us i believe is not his fault but that of his coaches in the national team.
This is what IDENNA doesn't understand when he criticizes him.
We simply don't know how to get the best of him
This is my opinion

daveP:
Funny enough, this GB game is Ejuke's kind of game.

Eguavon actually did 2 things right

1. Improve the creativity of our midfield
2. Bring in more creative players and passers into the team
However, he cannot read a game on time and make tactical changes
and that was his downfall
Also, against ghana he allowed himself to be confused and drop Nwakali
when we needed him in midfield.
Someone convinced him to try iheanacho in midfield and the stuff did not work
He could have continued with what he did in the afcon and stuck with nwakali given
iwobi was not available
FOR ALL HIS TACTICAL SHORT COMMINGS HE DID SOME BASIC THINGS RIGHT
I THINK AS USUAL BEFORE THE GAME AGAINST GHANA SOME PEOPLE WERE
INFLUENCING HIM TO MAKE FOOLISH DECISIONS LIKE TRYING TO
USE OGENYI ONAZI OR LOOKING FOR MUSA AND IGHALO UP AND DOWN
IF HE HAD DONE THE RIGHT THING AND NICKED THAT WORLD CUP
QUALIFIER, THE TEAM WILL AT LEAST BE BETTER THAN NOW IN TERMS OF MIDFIELD PLAY
HE EVEN SEEMS BETTER THAN POSEIRO
AS AVERAGE AS EGUAVON IS HE MAY BE BETTER THAN POSEIRO
AT LEAST 55% IS BETTER THAN 41% EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT EXCELLENCE
AS EGUAVON CANNOT READ A GAME AND HAS SOME DEFICIENCIES
AS PER POSEIRO I HOPE HE PROVES ME WRONG WITH TIME
IF HE DOES NOT WIN AGAINST GUINEA BUSAU AWAY THEN
HE WILL HAVE SERIOUS PROBLEMS

COOL10:
True. We do not have enough technical players to play the kind of beautiful football we want. Apart from Alex Iwobi, Leon Balogun and Kelechi Iheanacho, I don't think there's any other player who understands the basics of football technicality. Everyone is playing Gra Gra football. Push me, I push you. One route football.


Alex Iwobi grew up in the Arsenal Academy and then played for the first team so it's only natural for him to be that technical. Iheanacho played for Man City, so his technicality is not a surprise.

But for others? 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

Sadiq umar is also technical
Also olisah ndah

mancoconut:
The midfield and defence from the core of that U20 team under Bosso would have done a better job than the benchwarming deadweights we paraded (save for Iwobi). Daga, Onuche, Jude Sunday, Ogwuche, Benjamin Fredericks and even our No 10 (I think Amunu is his name) should be added to the senior team and the likes of Ndidi, Aribo etc permanently dropped. While at it the likes of Orban, Victor boniface, Nwakali, Akinsanmiro, Nathan Tella and Akpom must be integrated into this team going forward...the only players that should be kept from this present crop are Osimhen, Iwobi, Bright Osayi Samuel, Aniagboso, Ebuehi and Ola Aina. Integrate the players I mentioned from the U20 set to this crop of players we should build the team around and then get in a Nigerian coach to manage this new core of players. Maybe we can look at the Remo stars coach? he has some exciting projects going with Remo stars...otherwise let's just take our chances with Finidi? it sucks we suffer from a dearth of quality Nigerian coaches.

If the Nigerian coaches aren't delivering, then we should try one of those South African or North African coaches within the continent...teams like Orlando Pirates, Wydad,Zamalek etc all play fantastic brands of football under their local coaches, they can bring that quality to a new look Nigerian team.

Players we should build around going forward:
Attack
Osimhen (make him the freaking captain as it appears he's the only one that cares)
Moffi
Gift orban
Victor Boniface
Chukwueze (he should be on probation)
Chuba Akpom( he can effectively play the creative forward role as he does at Middlesbrough)
Nathan Tella (effectively replaces Musa and Moses Simon on the wings)

Players that should be phased out in that attack are: Simon Moses, Onuachu, Musa, and Iheanacho and maybe Lookman if he keeps stinking up the joint.

Players we should build around in Midfield:
Midfield
Iwobi
Daniel Daga (U20)
Nwakali
Akinsanmiro
Eletu
Onuche (U20)
Jude Sunday (U20)
Eberechi Eze (England seems very unlikely for him, we now stand a better chance than before)
Lesley Ugochukwu (France is super stacked) so let's make a concerted move for this kid.
Ayaosi (a midfield gem in the NPFL).
Onyedika
Alhassan Yusuf

Players in midfield that should be moved along: Ndidi, Aribo, Onyeka, Etebo.

Players in defence/full back we should build around:
Defence
Benjamin Frederick (u20)
Ogwuche (U20)
Solomon Agbalaka (U20)
Bruno Onyemaechi
Osayi Bright Samuel
Ola Aina
Ebuehi
Olisa Ndah
Igor Ogbu

Players to be placed on probation: Bassey, Akpoguma, Zaidu, Ekong.

Goal keepers to build around:

Arthur Okonkwo
Chijioke Aniagboso
Adeleye
Any decent shot stopper we can find in the fringes of Europe.

probation: Uzoho, Maduka.

Manager: Any of Finidi, bring back Oliseh if possible, or any top African coach doing well within in North Africa.

Cc: TheSuperNerd
What do you think?

I havent seen him.play but can chuba akpom be better than iheanacho in thr supporting or creativr striker role.
If tha6 is the case then use him instead of iheanacho. Mind u this is comming from someone who prefers home grown talent but at the end of the day it is your performance on the pitch thay determine everything
Generally if they keep playing like this what happened afyer the 2010 eorld cup moght happen to the team.
Someone in nff might decide on a nee coach and overhauling the team

How to get a good coach

The coach if the sierra leone team that held us to a 4 4 draw should be our ciach. Also the coach of the cape verde team that almoat sent us out of the world cup qualifiers.
These coaches achieve good results with average players and have a good record.
We keep employing ignorant confused mercenaries as coaches.
Even this present guinea bisau ciach can be considered.
We can also fry amunike.
Pesiro lacks any tactical knowledge of simple things

codemaniacs:
That is what you learn between 8 and 18. Not after 23 years old.

U see there is a serious coaching problem in Nigeria. The average Nigerian coach at youth and senior levels does not understand or teach basic things about football. Our home grown players play with their natural skill without any input from the coaches.
It shows in npfl or loca league players. Talented but very raw and ignorant of basic things like zonal marking passing etc

TheSuperNerd:
With the limited midfield we are parading, there's no way the wingers will be properly utilised in whatever damn front formation we are executing.

Bissau scored from a quick intelligent long ball/switch from deep inside their right channel to the attacking third. And they almost bagged a second through same strategy - Quickly switching plays to less concentrated zones.

Our own play switches have been slow and clueless.

Kelechi Nwakali or any player with similar skill set will
eventually make his way back to this team.
IT IS BADLY NEEDED.
Anyway they should bring in Frank Oyeka to bolster the midfield
I think this will be a blessing in disguise
We need to learn the hardway.
We need more natural midfielders

Blueelf:
Bro, we are not winning this match

Although I admire how you've been consistently optimistic

But forget it. This current SE is filled with big boys that are not passionate about the team

And greedy football admins who would rather get richer than move our football forward

BTW, Guinea Bissau would score another
.

If perseiro is not careful,
he might be sacked even before the nations cup.
Let him continue to do rubbish
Im not watching the match
but maybe the lack of enough midfielders is the problem.
And the obsession with playing iheanacho in midfield has to stop.
Our coach does not know his players or the right way to use them.
We will probably struggle to a 2 1 win
and loose or draw away
But Peseiro might be sacked before the nations cup if this nonsense of his continues

zuchyblink:
He even suggested academy players like Eletu as the depth Ndi Mkpummiri department Faculty of Nairaland sports section.

Eletu and akinsanmiro been in our national teams is good. We don't have much in midfield.
They can help the super eGles Olympic team u20 etc.
Incidentally the olympic qualifiers will take place in june and so they can come.
We need sll the help we can get.
Even in the super eagles we can yry them in friendlies to see how good they are.
Ahmed musa played for nigeria at 17. Even nathan nwaneri at 16 gets game time for arsenal.
They will bolster our midfield options

The limitations of having a thin midfield was greatly exposed during the WCQ, but obviously Peseiro isn't a sound coach, so he isn't working toward it... I knew he wasn't serious when he dropped Alhassan from his previous lists when the guy was fit...

May God give our coaches wisdom knowledge and understanding of how yobuse pur players. They seembto lack knowledge of simple football tactucs.
Our ciaches need to ask God for wisdom.
Im tired of their foolish decisions.
Anyway i think he may change with time.
Alsi his choice of bruno onyeamachi is good for our defence
