Quick question guys

So, a BBC Journalist contacted me about possibly questions I may have about AFCON preparations

If una get question, run it by me sharp sharp. Will be responding in half an hour tops

Just coming back online. Thanks for the mention. I guess the time frame has elapsed but let me still put forward these questions:

How many teams are so far present in Cameroon

What are the security measures put in place to avoid a spill over of the ambazonian crisis

with much due respect, have you taken your time to watch Baba or he is gold because he is linked with the toffees?


In all honesty ,I have not watched him once not even his YouTube clips which can easily be contrived.

However, l know Everton and the recruitment team and before they want you they have done their home work in the HERE and NOW. Particularly , when you consider they have been trying to get him for over a year.

So I believe if they are prepared to pay £10million he must have some quality which they desperately need.

Everton payed £2million for Demerai Gray and he has scored 5 goals even playing as a forward. They must have done thier homework really well.

Have you watched him play a full 90 minutes because apparently Athletico Madrid want him too. These are all indicative of a good degree of quality.

If you are asking me to go through your moniker and screenshot posts you made to mock both players in the past like you are doing with Nwakali now, I absolutely don't have the time, and there's absolutely no need because nearly every active member of this thread can attest to that..

You are making predictions of Nwakali future based on his present situation..You obviously don't learn...

One man's objective fact even when proven and substantiated, can be too bitter for some to accept.

You call it mockery I call it stating the clear and obvious facts.

You seek to deny the facts, you then call the truth a lie and assume it from your perspective to be mockery.

That's entirely your choice.

That's why you reply with the assumptive not the factual. I challenged you to substantiate your perception based deductions but you have simply run away and BOTTLED IT.

It was a very good good that I saw. Etebo with a worldie of an assist and Kalu was very assertive on the game.
My MOTM is for sure Victor Osimhen.

A good Midfielder is very ambiguous in what context? comparison assesment is better way of knowing a player quality.

Musa’s goal was as a result of defensive mixup, he later got injured and was replaced by Iwobi.

Remember the match against CAR away where Osimhen received a through pass and dribbled the keeper only to have his weak footed shot cleared off the line? That was the best through pass in the SE for the entire year.

Guess who gave the pass? Ejuke? Iwobi? Nwakali?

It was Aribo of course.

Guess what? It was a long overhead pass from midfield too. The type they said only Nwakali in the whole Nigerian history of football can give?

Your arguments hold no water.

Let me tell you again, so you get the point before you post that misconception again.

DICTATE PLAY FROM DEEP WITH LONG DIAGONAL PASSES.

Note

DICTATE
DEEP
LONG DIAGONAL PASSES.

So Aribo given a long pass is not dictating play from deep. Okay?

Is this dude going to be on bench dishing out tactical clues to Austin or just a backroom staff?


Dr. Terry is fully part of the coaching team. So he will not just serve as a back room staff.

I believe his work will hinge on giving us a modern approach to the way we will handle it.

I believe he will provide support in detailed analysis of opposing players. Spot their weaknesses through analysis and also propose alternative approaches to counter them.

There is a lot of tactical background studies that takes place in football today.

Below (although highly advanced) is from Bielsa's press conference after his staff got caught spying on Lampard's training session.

Under the screen are documents, each one for a player. He highlighted the amount of work put in to analyze teams.

So Dr. Terry will likely bring a bit of this kind of approach to the team.

Wow injury just before the tournament, not good but such things happen. I would encourage the gaffer not to rush his return, infact it might just be better long term to let him sit out this tournament so that the injury doesn't recur. Wait o, can he be replaced now with Amoo since CAF allows replacement of injured players.

Let's look past the word salad. I can concede that the frequency of Aribo's long diagonal passes is less than your expectations (note: I didn't say Nwakali's level because he just hasn't proved it to me yet, which I hope he does at the AFCON).

However, the argument I replied to alleged that Aribo didn't know how to playmake at all, to which I used an example to debunk.

All these dictate play talk all boils down to one thing: how often a player can create opportunities via long passes from deep (controlling the flow of the game and such is still creating opportunities both offensively and defensively). With the example I gave, Aribo can clearly create opportunities with long passes from deep. The only question is how often, and that is where the comparison to Nwakali comes in. I just hope both of them get enough gametime so that we can rate them objectively and see truly who is better at dictating play from deep bla bla bla.

All these are important, but remember, before plucking out the needle in your brother's eye, first remove the plank in yours.

The most important thing the SE needs right now is to solve our internal players. We can do this by defining the way we play to maximize available players, making the right selections, mastering the basics of the game etc. This is not the world cup or the champions league where almost every team is already good and the competition is for who is "gooder" if I can use the word. This is the AFCON. At least half the teams present are farmers. Having a balanced well set-up team will already destroy most of the teams present. That is why Algeria is doing so well, because their team is so well set up. Even in friendlies and impromptu matches they still comfortably beat teams with 3+ goals. It is not necessarily because they know what their opponents' top striker ate for breakfast the day of the game.

Tactically overanalyzing opponents, while good, is a sign of inferiority. When your team is well set-up, other teams will be the ones trying to counter your playing style. For example, Mourinho is more known for spying on other teams tactics and so on, but look where it got him playing against guys like Pep and Klopp who set up their teams to play in a well-defined way. I am not saying don't analyze your opponents, I am saying focus more on analyzing yourself and your abilities.

The German National team is known recently for over-analyzing their opponents. Look where it got them, The Euros and the World Cup.

I was pointing out what I believe the job description of Dr. Terry will be. Remember we still have other coaches like Sanusi, Yobo, and Aigbogun. The chief coach is also there to handle the training and set up details.

I believe Dr. Terry is there for the research and analysis side which also involves analyzing our training sessions and games too.

It has more to do with playing style than just having the ability. There are players who play by operating in deep holes on the field and looking for passing options. They have the instincts to decide the direction of play. So Aribo playing a pass from deep, does not mean he can play with the instincts and skillset.

You do not bring a sports researcher to the team to not contribute in anyway. Dr. Terry will most likely bring in the research side of coaching to the team. Eguavoen already talked that they have began studying the opponents before the players arrived camp.
