Tinneh:
Lol wetin u expect before?
4-4-2 isnt bad if you have technically sound midfielders, also the overload on the wings is an added advantage, personally i feel its a nice formation if we get a good cm to pair ndidi..
Iheanacho/iwobi as ss
Ejuke and samu on both flanks, oshimen wouldnt be short of supplies

this is why a player like Alhassan Yusuf will be good for Central Midfield. He is a natural cm.
From the little i have seen of Alhassan Yusuf, he is like the Ogenyi Onazi of 2013/2014 who collected the midfield from pogba
in the world cup and won the nations cup.
With Iwobi as a support striker,
he can drop back in midfield and make it a 4 3 3 and then go into attack mode again to change to 4 4 2.
A player like nwakali will also be good as he can play cm and support striker at the same time.
The second striker can be anything from a cm to an am or even Sadiq Umar with his creativity will be a good support striker.
Not to talk of Aribo.
4 4 2 can be like 4 4 1 1 or 4 3 3 depending on the personel.

EGUAVON SHOULD TAKE US TO THE WORLD CUP

I read part of Eguavons interview and i realized he knows what he is doing.
His actions even indicate this fact.

1. Immediately he wants to correct the problem of our lack of creativity in midfield
by inviting nwakali, alhassan yusuf etc.
2. In his interview, he understands his players and their strengths and weaknesses.
3. It seems he plans to use Chidera Ejuke and Samuel Chukwueze behind a striker
4. He seems to understand the Nigerian philosophy and style of play with wingers, good passers in midfield etc
5. By the end of this afcon the problem of lack of creativity in midfield will be gone thanks to Eguavon. No team will
dominate us in midfield again
6. He knows the players inside out and how to use them. He even said iheanacho is positionally confused which is
a very intelligent statement
7. I have said it we just need a coach that understands us, our mentality and how to use us.
8. He has the westerhoof model which is the only model that seems to work
9. You see, foreign coaches flatter to deceive. They look so attractive but are like wind without rain.
What happens on the field of play is all that matters not someone playing in Real Madrid.
10. We may hate it but our most creative players are not in the top 5 leagues and eguavon understands that.
He does not mind and wants to use them.
11. In football, even if lewandoski, cavani, ronaldo and Ibrahimovic are in your attack, without creative midfeidlers
and wingers, your attack will be limited. This is what Eguavon understands and Rohr does not.
12. As per the guy from the Isreali league, he may turn out to be another sunday Mba. Not all players in obscure
leagues are bad. It is just by percentage. 15% of players in obscure leagues are good while 85% of players in the top 10
leagues are good. It is just finding the 15% in obscure leagues that are good that is the problem and the Isreali league guy
may fall into the 15%.
14. Eguavon may not seem attractive but he will deliver at the end of the day.
15. Someone mentioned the fact that the USA 94 team did not play for the top teams of Europe but it made me smile.
African born players dont get the recognition players born in Europe get early in their career. they may have to wait till
after they are 25 to get into teams like barcelona, chelsea etc. But that does not make them bad. Talent is talent everywhere
and a boy in Mushin can be more talented that a player in west Ham.

humility33:
You nailed it
Na Baba plan be that

But if they do well in cameroon the sports minister will not allow
him to bring the foreign coach.
So i foresee this man not being our coach eventually.
Things will happen between now and the end of the nations cup

Nomyth:
Hmmm

What if Eguavon wins or get to the final of afcon with impressive performances
and some of the players are selected in the team of the tournament.
At this point nobody will care about this new foreign coach with a mediocre vc.
they should not sign any agreement with him till after afcon.
It should be a pre contract
and the contract should be scrutinized by a Lawyer and the sports minister
If we decide to sack him or not employ him at all we dont want to pay him for a year
while he is not working for us all because of the contract he signed.
He is not even familiar with Nigerian or African football and his track record is even mediocre.
If it was ten haag the coach of Ajax at least we know we are having a young, dynamic coach that
is full of ideas whose football philosophy matches our own (Westerhoof is from holland
Let us sink and swim with Eguavon
foreing coach should be after the world cup

komekn:
Very weak EXCUSES, because his agent is not good, when the product in is not good even the best agent cannot sell it. And which good agent want to carry "bad market" by comparison to other players.

Do you know how many black player born in Europe did not make it They should say it's because they were not born in Africa or because they are not White.

The French national team is almost entirely black, what is your point Umtiti was born in Cameroon but plays as a CB for Barcelona and France. Eric Bailly Manchester United CB, was born in Cote d'Ivoire, so also was Maxwell Cornet of Burnley ( IMO s racist team and Manager)

With the fast pace, physicality and aerial dominance required for the EPL even the Championship both Awaziem and Omeruah will fall flat on their faces.

I remember at the last AFCON Omeruah could not handle a very basic long ball , that led to the goal by Cameroon. This was a school boy error, but he got bullied and missed the clearing header. That sort of ball is the bread and butter of the EPL and Championship.

The pertinent question should be how much better we would be if we had better CB than these two mediocre defenders.

These two guys have had numerous opportunities to show that they are quality, buy they just cannot make STEP UP. And if SE wants to compete on the global stage we need far better players.

I have a personal experience.
I am a writer and i wrote a book a publishing company was interested in.
However, the money needed to publish it was too much
and then, they could not find sponsors for me because i was not living in europe.
If i was in Europe i could be a world class writer by now,
In fact, one other of my books i could not also publish or get a publishing company to market for me as the price is
not affordable due to the high exchange rate of the naira to the dollar or pound is quite high.
It might take me time to be recognized as a writer simply because i am living in and born in Africa.
See, this is a link to one of my books i publised online if you think i am lying.

https://okadabooks.com/user/Philosopher1979

I need a publishing company to market them but been in Africa limits me but i will get there someday.
So this is the way it works for our footballers

drDoom3:
Onuachu scores again. Inevitable.

Alhassan Yusuf also in the starting line up for Royal antwerp.
I learnt Eguavon is interested in him.
He will be called as paul Aigbogun is a fan of alhassan yusuf
and wanted him in the youth team but his then club will not allow him

Meliforme:
My appraisal of them is not from their Whoscored ratings.
I don't even know their rating on Whoscored.
But i beg you not to look down on Whoscored, those guys are very good.

The quality of the league they feature in, doesn't make them below par.
You will need more than talent to feature at the biggest stage.

Mr Komekn, I will pick Awaziem and Omeruo ahead of some EPL defenders.
Most EPL clubs don't have good defenders.

Actually, Awaziem is one of our best defenders.
I watched him play for Nigeria in the qualifiers and he was very good.
He is in Turkey because his old club (Boavista) could not pay his wages.
Also, maybe his agent did not advertise him well.

Home grown African talents are not well advertised by their agents and thus, it is no fault
of there's that they are not always in the big leagues or clubs.
Believe it or not Awaziem with the way he plays is one of our best defenders and even Rohr during his time
could never drop him from the team.
He has been fantastic in Turkey and he will join a big team or league as time goes on.

As per Omeruo he is average but you are right. A lot of players in the bottom 10 of the English league
and in division 2 are not better than him. He is at the same level if not better than Semi Ajayi or
players in a club like Newcastle.
Life is not always fair and assessing a player by his league is not always straight forward.
in fact, if Simmy Nwankwo was born in Europe, given his career record, he will not be in Salernitania
but again, he does not have a good agent.

Clint02:
If Nigeria happens to be the first African team to win the world cup,omo I can't imagine the roar throughout the whole of Africa...across the world even. There will be great joy in the hearts of every African.

With yori yori football. The unique brand of Nigerian football we will

YORI YORI FOOTBALL, THE NEW CONCEpT OF FOOTBALL FROM NIGERIA THAT WILL CONQUER THE WORLD

Yori Yori football is rooted in Nigerias history and culture as a footballing nation.
Tikitaka has conquered the world
We have seen the Brazilian Samba and the Gegen press.
NOW IS THE TIME FOR YORI YORI FOOTBALL
It is a combination of African or NIgerian, Brazilian and Dutch football.
It has been played down the decades by various Nigerian teams and now in modern times
it finds it fullest expression.
Examples of this unique brand of football are:
The 2015 u17 world cup winning team
The 2014 u17 world cup winning team
The Olympic team of atlanta 96
The afcon winning teams of 1980 and 1994.
The brand of football is unique and not team from Europe or South America can understand it.
Amunike played it with the u17 team and fifa could not understand Nwakalis role.
I BELIEVE THAT STARTING FROM NEXT YEAR THIS STYLE OF FOOTBALL WILL START CONQUERING THE WORLD
THE WORLD SHOULD GET READY
JUST AS SAMBA pRODUCED pELE AND TIKI TAKA pRODUCED MESSI,
YORI YORI WILL pRODUCE A NEW AFRICAN WORLD pLAYER OF THE YEAR FROM NIGERIA.
WE WILL BE UNCONQUORABLE WITH THIS BRAND OF FOOTBALL.
You see it is when we Africans embrace our uniqueness that we can actually conquer the world.
Adaptation and not immitation is the key to Africas progress
and in Yori Yori football our unique style of play adapted to modern football will conquer any team

temi1290:
So you mean if afcon was held alongside Copa america and euros, they would have prevented their African players from leaving citing covid-19 but bate an eyelid for their euro and american players?

As for the weather, that's where tech comes up but unfortunately we are so backward in that, can't there be fully built stadiums where an umbrella like structure be made to cover the stadiums when this rain start, like divert the rain and channel it somewhere else?

The issue is that there is this sentiment that Cameroon and other African countries must host it.
Most North African countries and South Africa have that kind of technology but they want other countries to host it.
My take is that, the afcon should be shifted to June (as it has been for the last few years) and then, it should be hosted by the African country
with the best technology.
Cameroon can in the mean time work on their technology so that they can host the Afcon in June. Caf should give Cameroon or other African countries 5 years to acquire this technology. With time, other African countries will learn to have the capacity to host afcon in June.
Cameroon cannot hold everybody to ransom because they want to host the afcon when they are not ready.
The best thing is to try and develop the technology and capacity themselves

maidaboi:
Sadiq with a goal

One thing I appreciate Umar Sadiq for is his creativity and all round play.
He allready has 7 assists this season and will definitely get to double digits in assists this season.
When he was in Serbia he had 17 assists a season which is rare for any type of forward (even a midfielder.
He is a better form of the france 98 el hadj diouf as he scores more goals.
I can understand why clubs are after him. He is a creative forward who scores goals.
His underlying stats are monstrous.
In a match, Sadiq can complete 5 dribbles, create 3 chances, win a penalty and have 2 assists
even if he does not score.
I hope he can do it in a better division

IDENNAA:
Cc.ChrisKels

I was called "ezi" ,"mumu" , "crackhead" etc simply because I said Kelechi is the most talented midfielder we currently have...lmao

Na God dey fight battle for the powerless!

That useless whitey made sure Onyekuru , Nwakali etc never had the opportunity to show there talent...very demonic wicked soul!

I have explained it before. Any coach that doesn't understand our history, culture and evolution as a footballing nation will have limitations.
Most foreign coaches just don't understand us

Odunayaw:
What is this "our" football that a foreign coach will not understand? The players coming to play are coached by Nigerians week in and out in their clubs abi?

Asides that a new coach will need time to gel with the team, there's no other reason not to hire one rn

Nigerian football has a rich history. Oto gloria the Brazilian 1980 afcon winning coach put some level of Brazilian football
into our football and since then our players love to dance with the ball.
Nigerian league from the 70's untill now still has its pattern.
Also the 90's team was the ultimate expression of our style of play
Anybody that wants to coach us must respect all these and not see us as a people without any history
he can just impose any footballing idealogy on.
A foreign coach wont understand all this. This is why when Rohr drew with car and other African minnows
he could not understand why we were so angry.
Also, foreign coaches underrate our players. A foriegn coach will not convince chidera Ejuke to take on
the defence of france and score a goal and have two assists as Alhassan Yusuf collects the midfield from France.
They dont beleive in us.
Watch our match against Belgium in the 2008 olympics when we won 4 nill in order to understand
our style of play.
You see a winning team is a team with a unique style of play that defeats and confounds everybody
and not neccesarly the best players
The Brazillian team of the sixtys and seventys were like this.
The Barcelona team of guardiola and the spanish team with their tiki taka.
Liverpool with their gegenpress.
Also, we just need to express our style of play which is rooted in our history and culture.
Westerhoof understood all these.
I read a story of Westerhood in which we wanted to play a star studded ivorian team with one of the best players in Africa
at that time. Westerhoof simply brough Moses Kpakor from bcc lions to mark him out of the game and we won.
Eguavon or ammunike understands our football and will just flow with things and make us conquer the world.
Generally, the problem with us Africans is that we are too Afraid to express ourselves.
When the white man first came to Africa, he told us to shut up and destroyed our cultural, artistic and religioius ways of
self expressions and this is confusing us.
Okay, besides football the entrepremeural system of the Igbo is now been studied in Universities around the world.
WE AFRICANS CAN CONQUER THE WORLD IF WE EXpRESS AND BELEIVE IN OURSELVES
THE ISSUE WITH WESTERHOOF IS THAT HE COULD UNDERSTAND AND INTERpRETE US

According to Punch newsPaPPers, Nff wants
to aPPoint another foreign coach next week.
Nff are fond of doing the right thing the wrong way.
We dont need a foreign coach
Also, we may sign another Rohr like contract with him and
so the contract has to be scrutinized by the sPorts minister before we get into trouble.

THE PROBLEM WITH FOREIGN COACHES.
They don't understand our native style of Play and how to interPrete it in
the light of modern football.
A foreing coach will not address our Problem of lack of creative midfielders
Such a coach will not use alhassan yusuf, nwakali etc and then invite onuachu and musa to the team.
Another Problem is he will be too exPensive for us.
If we appoint a foreing coach before the nations cup we are not going anywhere
Our problem is that we need a coach who understands our style of football and can interprete it for
us so as to get the best results.
They should leave Eguavon there and if they need a change, Amunike will be better
The tragedy of European coaches is that they try and force an alien style of play on Africans and it
does not work.
Westerhoof is one of the few foreign coaches that really understood us.
Also, a foreign coach in the next 1 week will not understand our football.
He will play our players out of position.
the problem with Africans in general is that we do not embrace our originality which is unique
and with which we can conquer the world. That is exactly what happened with the usa 94 team.
We did not care that Stoichkov was in Barcelona and Bulgaria were one of the best teams in the world.
We simply expressed ourselves properly
WE DONT NEED A FOREIGN COACH FOR NOW!!!

Oasis001:
We need real 10 in the Squad. Real Playmaker who can dictate the Game. New Coaching Crew should do their best to get at least 2 natural 10, regardless of League as far as they are talented.


Ain't a Fan of Nwakali, but would rather give him chance than begging Olise to play for us. That Dude even seems overrated, cos I've not seen his (audio) playmaking at Palace.

Alhassan Yusuf and Nwakali have been drafted into the team by
Super Eagles new coaches.
Incidentally, Aigbogun has allways liked alhassan Yusuf and wanted him in his youth team
but he was stopped by his Swedish club.

https://scorenigeria.com.ng/super-eagles-new-coaches-draft-alhassan-yusuf-nwakali-for-2021-afcon/

The appointment of Dr. Terry Eguaoje is fantastic in the Super Eagles coaching crew is fantastic
he has conducted over 700 coaching courses in the last seven years and NFF wants to bring him as consultant coach
Dr Eguaoje has conducted several FIFA, UEFA and CAF sanctioned coaching courses in US, Africa and other part of the world.
He was born in Nigeria and is a seasoned coach with UEFA A licence coaching.
He is the founder of the Football Coaches Association of African Nations (FCAAN.
IT IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS TO HAppen to our football.
He has all that technical knowledge of an European but he is a true Nigerian.
He has been doing several coaching clinics in Nigeria.

daveP:
We go soon see Rema, Buju and Flavour 2 for Afcon list with some news on how local league is this or that. Anayo fit go Afcon sef.

What makes you to think Anayo iwuala is not good enough.
Because he does not play in Europe
Football does not allways work like that.
He might even turn out to be one of our best players and get us vital goals and assists.
Football is about opportunities and advertisment.
Some players are good but not well advertised.
He might be better than some European based players.
Westerhoof prefered Amunike when he was in Zamalek to Tijani Babangida.
Also, time changes things. He might move to Europe in a few years and do big things.
I have watched him play and he seems a very creative players.
Football is not straightforward like that.
In fact, that was Rohrs mistake. He thinks club form is everything and it does not allways work.
The issue of club form does not work for Moses Simon and paul Onuachu.
In fact, i think Anthony Nwakaeme can be a better player for Nigeria than Moses Simon and other wingers
in better leagues. Football is not as straight forward as this

darkelf:
Awoniyi can't score more than 15 league goals this season

Remember this post

Now that is the dumbest thing i have ever heard.
he only needs 7 more goals to beat that mark.
What is the reason by the way.
I mean he is in form and firing and
only injury can stop him

The scandinavian leagues (sweden, norway et are the best kept secrets of Nigerian football.
Going forward, the following players are the next big thing in Nigerian football.
Time will prove me right

Ishaq Abdulrazaq: The young boy from ifk norkoping is developing into a fine footballer.
He can play as a right winger, wing back or as an attacking midfielder. He is a dani alves like player.
At only 19 he is doing well for his club and will move to the big leagues very soon

Samuel Adegbenro: I used to underrate him but now i dont.
He can play as a striker, attacking midfielder or winger. He also plays in ifk Norkoping and he was the highest
goal scorer. He will soon move to a big league as early as next summer. He has allways been on the radar
of clubs since 217 but i now think he is fullfilling his potentials.

Stephen Odey: He is finally fullfilling his potential in randers fc and as time goes on he will crack it in the
big leagues if given another chance

Tosin Kehinde: He is an attacking midfielder who was once in Manchester United youth team.
He is growing in leaps and bounds and will soon join a big club.

Rahael Onyedika: The central midfeidler is growing in leaps and bounds and will soon be in the
big leagues in little time

I think these Scandinavian leagues are good for our players.
They seem to appreciate African players and understand their problems.
They tend to work on their tactical deficiencies and polish them
I think generally, scandinavians appreciate African culture and tend to be friendly towards them.
They also appreciate African players and dont just bench, underrate and dismiss them.
So i think our players should go and develop in that league.
It worked for paul onuachu and frank onyeka and it really develops African players.
Those top 5 leagues are not sincere with our players and just use and dump them without trying to develop them

DANGOTE ABOUT TO BUY ARSENAL!!!!!

Dangots attemt to buy arsenal is about to become a reality according to
football.london.

https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/news/aliko-dangote-arsenal-takeover-worth-22371428

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS ARE MIXED

1. IT SHOW NIGERIAN FOOTBALL DOES NOT LACK MONEY BUT NFF IS SO CORRUT THAT IT
CANNOT ATTRACT SONSORS LIKE DANGOTE TO THE LEAGUE
2. DANGOTE SHOULD TRY AND INVEST IN ENYIBA OR VANDREZZER RATHER THAN SOME FOREING LEAVE
3. ON THE OTHER HAND, IT MEANS NIGERIAN TALENTS LIKE AKINKUNMI AMOO, ABRAHAM AYODELE MARCUS, AUL MUKAIRU ETC
CAN NOW EASILY COME TO ARSENAL AS THEIR OWNER IS A NIGERIAN
4. ALSO, THERE WILL BE COOERATION BETWEEN ARSENAL AND NIGERIAN FOOTBALL AND SO ARSENAL CAN OWN A FOOTBALL
ACADEMY IN NIGERIA OR EVEN ARTNER WITH NIGERIAN CLUBS AS TIME GOES ON.
IN OTHER WORDS, THE MONEY WILL STILL FLOW INDIRECTLY TO NIGERIAN FOOTBALL AS TIME GOES ON

The greatest mistake rohr can make is to ignore Anthony nwakaeme. He is in imperious form. As per the idea the Turkish league is low I don't buy into it. If he ends up playing well for us it doesn't matter. Also, the Turkish league is low in what sense. It's low but not too low.
The guy can even save Rohrs job if he is used. He can get us vital goals and assists.
You see players born in Africa do not have a good platform to advertise themselves to European football and so they may not hit the limelight on time but that doesn't take away their quality

charlesemeka85:
nwakali is very weak and fragile for modern football

Make em go dey act pornography abeg

Shebi if I dey talk am then una dey see am say I hate am

physically and athletism is overrated in modern football.
passing, dribbling, intelligence and creativity are VERY VERY IMpORTANT in midfield play.
if strenght was so important, dickson etuhu will be the best player in the world.
Is Jorginho that strong.
Modern football is confusint itself
A player that cannot pass is a liability in football.
Come to think of it, football is about passing and creating space for your players to move
When a team cannot string two or three passes together withoiut loosing the ball, they are reduced to defending
and running all day.
players like nwakali are very very important.
This is what guardiola said

I dont play for tackles, what is tackles

No, nwakali is very relevant for modern football.
Again, passing and knowing what to do with the ball are basic to football.
I dont agree with you at all

THE NIGERIAN WONDER KID

There is a new Nigerian wonder kid that just signed for sao paolo in Brazil.
His name is Azeez Olalekan Balogun and he is a striker.
Scorenigeria talks about him.
He was discovered in a scouting tournament in Ibadan this year.
You see the Brazilian league is very fantastic and is at the level of the Dutch league if not better.
for a teenager to be in a historic club like Sao paolo is something to take notice of.
It means he may have the technical skills of a Brazilian (think Neymar, Cautinho, kaka, pauleta etc
Brazilian players are technically gifted and the boy must be very good to be in
the Brazilian league.
We must take note for the future

forgiveness:
I didn’t get the opportunity to watch SE or anything that has to do with Nigeria national team after the 2002 World Cup till I heard about the fame of Mikel in 2005. Hence, didn’t watch him in U17.

It was the U20 finals, I got to watch him and I was impressed. From that day onward, I followed him till he retired at Chelsea as his fan and Chelsea’s fan.

However, was disappointed he was didn’t play to his potential till he left Chelsea.

Oyinbo man don’t believe Africans can be a playmaker hence they convert them to DMF or winger.

We need to develop our league and African league at large. That’s when we can play our own style of football.

We also needs a coach that believes in and loves Africans. Rohr does not believe in us. The issue is westerhoof believed in and loved Nigeria and Africa.
This is why rohr does not think awoniyi, desserts, okereke, chidera ejuke etc can break down any defense in the world but us instead looking for defenders and drawing with cape verde.
Rohr does not understand the Nigerian society and foot culture. He does not see our latent explosivity in the last third of the pitch which is something westerhoof could see within weeks of been in Nigeria

jihday:
he already did since, I trust the NFF not to appoint him

He will be a good appointment. What is wrong with his m. We need a coach that knows Nigerian football and culture.
In fact he is not a foreign coach. He will do well

AndSunGorilla:
What makes a league the best in the world sir at any current time?

The trick is that they have the best coaches. From Guardiola to the coach of Leeds to Liverpool coach.
There are some second division English teams that play tiki taka.
So the managerial change is the most important.
All the brains in football now converge in the epl and dish out
all types of styles from tiki taka to genegen pressing to anything in the mix.
English football is no longer 424 with wingers and kick and follow.
The new breed coaches have improved it beyond that

Kog45:
Well said,Omeruo major issue is club career.He made a mistake signing for Chelsea and till today his football career is nothing and Awaziem is having the same issue.

On a good day Omeruo and Awaziem are better than Ekong and check it out,Omeruo always comes into the party in any of our tourney....2018 WC,Omeruo had a better performance than Ekong and in Afcon 2019 he did well than Balogun.

You are right. His perfomance against Argentina in the world cup was outstanding.
This issue of club is what is confusing people. His club form may not be great but he is better.
Besides, it is not as if Ekong is playing for Juventus or so. He is playing for average or poor teams in the big league.
Ekong is overrated and needs to be dropped. Is he even better than Semi Ajayi.
I doubt it. He is overrated thats all

TheLoneCitizen:
Messi hattrick of assists. From where?

From the 10.

I allways thought that as messi grew older, the no 10 role will fit him.
He is somewhat a no 10 by default anyway. Just a false 9 a position of an attacking midfielder masquerading as a striker
He will do well in that role but maybe score less and have more assists but
by default, he is a creative player that scores goals.
He should remain as an attacking midfielder if his speed reduces with age

lloydtruth:
How many of these guys are still relevant?

Yira collins sor (a winger is
doing well in Banik Ostrava in the czech league.
He is seen as a good player in the league
Chinonso Emeka is in K.a.a gent with Adewale Oladoye and
he is in their youth team and he has played a few matches.
Nnamdi Oforboh and Tom dele bashiru are doing well in English or scottish football

One of the forwards is doing well in the czech league (tijani i think
Kingsley Micheal is in bologna but injured
Valentinze Ozornworfor is in Charleroi but struggling for game time but at
least his making the match day squad and will improve with time
The team is not as bad as we think and good players will come out of it.
Youth football is never a waste, its developmental anyway

humility33:
With those men at the helm of affairs esp rohr Nigeria is going nowhere

I think some players are been imposed on Rohr.
The rohr of 2019 (when we drew to Brazil) is different from the Rohr of now.
Musa, Moses Simon, Onuachu, Ighalo and some other players are been imposed on him.
I think it started when they wanted to impose home based players on him.
It also seems he has lost control of the dressing rooms and his decisions as per tactics and
players is becoming irrational by the day.
Something has gone wrong and there is an interference from somebody
and the players are not disciplined again.

Someone is dragging Rohr around and telling him what to do.
Rohr has lost it due to some politicking.
It started with that 4 4 draw with Serra Leone

drDoom3:
Also, I would prefer if Osimhen stayed with his club and helps them win the Scudetto than if he comes with us to AFCON, because there is no way we remotely deserve to win that AFCON. It is better we get beat in AFCON and learn from it than we masquerade with Osimhen carrying the team on his shoulders and end up getting bronze or something again, then we look like a decent team when in reality we are not.

Yeah Nigerian football has that disease.
Once we discover a good player, we stop building a good team
or even care about other players.
it will be pass to Victor Osimhen and Insha allah
It was once pass to Kanu and Insha allah
I want our talent pool to develop to a point
where we have 3 players or more for each position and we can play as a team.

Countries like france, spain etc have many good players and so they just dont
depend on one player for everything.
We need to get to that stage

witorwitoutyou:
GREAT NEWS FOR THE LIKES OF TAIWO,DENNIS AND MOFFI


MEANWHILE I HOPE WE DONT END UP LIKE A DAFT COACH IN THE PERSON ROHR,WHO LEFT THE ABOVE PLAYERS FOR EXPPIRED PRODUCTS LIKE IGHALO,MUSA..ROHR IS NOT FIT TO COACH A LOCAL CLUB AT TEDE/OFIKI LGA... VERY DAFT FRANCO-GERMAN

Yeah i keep saying our need for Osimhen is because of the foolishness of our coach.
He also has david okereke, Anthony Nwakaeme, emmanuel dennis, henry onyekuru as wingers
and he beleives that without chuwueze and ejuke we dont have wingers.
I dont understand how rohr reasons.
Obinna Nwobodo, Alhassan Yusuf, Akinkunmi Amoo etc should be tried in our midfield in order to replace ndidi and iwobi.
Rohr will make us believe the team cannot function when iwobi, osimhen, ndidi and chukwueze are missing
and that is sheer folishness on his part.
Rohr is in this mess because he does not know or understand our players
