Then stop making spurious claims.

Let me ask you a question. What exactly are we going to do at the world Cup? What is the objective going to the world cup? We couldn't get to the Quater finals of the Afcon, do you think we have the potential to go deep into the world cup knockout rounds?
I have heard people say they prefer to go out of the Afcon now and make the world cup as if we are really going to play more than 3 mandatory games in Qatar.

Mousup40:
maduka's time will never come, he's time with the super eagles is sadly over.he won't even be invited for the world cup playoff with ghana

Mujtahida:

Eguavoen should continue abeg. I'm tired of all these journeymen, washed out European coaches who leverage on their skin to get coaching jobs in Africa. Most of them are actually empty-headed and no better than our own coaches

BascoVanVeli:


Oga Joe then why does Pep change system when his teams are behind at the end of matches If the situation is serious enough Man City will turn into Burnley quick, fast and in a hur. At the end of the 90 minutes the team didn't score. U can't tell me wat will happen if we changed the system cause we didn't change it and the score stayed the same.

Barryseal:

I don't understand what you mean that we are the better team compared to other African teams going to the Mundial.
Our world cup preliminary round qualifiers was poor and ultimately saw the coach loose his job. We couldn't even beat a ragtag Tunisian team in the 2nd round of the Afcon. But somehow we are the best team going to the Mundial (we haven't even qualified yet).
When you say historically, are you saying Nigeria has better records at the world cup than the rest of Africa?

Please there was nothing memorable about the Iceland match. The first half was a bore fest while the 2nd half was just enough to beat Iceland who historically are the smallest country ever to qualify for the World Cup whilst making their debut. Chest beating about winning Iceland tells a sad story of our current state of football.

Sportilitica:

We do not have a better team. The teams that are better are still in the AFCON competition.

Oasis001:




Blood still dey boil..... this ain't right to discuss any subject objectively.

Danielnino00:


This exactly has always been my point... If we must give a foreigner the job, let it be one with some promising CV...This Peseiro guy has been coaching for like 30 years now and has managed up to 20 teams...Na proper journeyman be that...
Pinnick goofed with this one..Instead of throwing the job open for interest applicants, he went to consult Mourinho who sentimentality recommended his former assistants to him..I mean, all three names that were touted for the job were Mou's former assistants... Absolutely no sense in that.

Ronaldo made cavani game time reduced ,and cavani use to battle injuries at United

Cavani had better goal ratio than rashford last season but Na rashford Dey play the whole match ,even with rashford playing double his minutes ,and their epl goals are 10 and 11 but one of them no Dey play all games and Dey battle injury

With lesser games last season cavani outscored greenwood also

I am sure if you are a Serbian and due to Luka Jovic impact at the bundesliga you would have been telling us here at the Serbian Nairaland that he would bench old benzema at Madrid and would also tell us how 19 year old camavinga will be starting ahead of modric at Madrid .

komekn:


The NFF contracts hungry coaches with dubious CV's that will play game with them.

That means a big % of their salary will go to someone that's in the NFF in the first instance. He will be amiable to them NFF putting in their favoured player's in his team selection.

Finally, a coach that they can manipulate and or enforce their decisions upon.

Glen Hoddle is absolutely not hungry and has a very impressive CV. But you and everyone knows he will not be dominated or told what to do by the NFF. No deals no untoward business. NFF asked for half his salary he told them where to go.

It's obvious ,the NFF are just like our Nigerian politicians, appointment is made not on competence but loyalty and willingness to do anything he who appoints you wants.

TheSuperNerd:


Bia you nko... you no dey ever suggest candidate?

Everyone here knows TheGoodJoe and I always rooted for and wanted Amunike.

Some others wanted Finidi George.

A few others wanted another foreign manager.

So what would you O Elyte have? Stop hiding behind asking others this question...

Tell us your own choice.

elyte89:


Lol...sincerely I am at a cross road..kinda confused.cos looking at d Tunisian match critically it shows eguavoen has some limitations in his tactical ability. A sound coach could av rescued something out of dt match prior to d red card.however going forward I would suggest a rejig in d t.c going forward

1)maybe get a decent sound foreign T.A while eguavoen takes d role of d head coach in d team(reason is eguavoen presence in d team will maintain d bond we av presently in d team;WC shows he's a very good manager just like rohr / TD in d NFF saddle.shorunmu shld replace our current g.k coach,maintain Dr terry and imama or any decent npfl coach to come replace yobo,salisu goes to 2nd assistance while Paul and yobo leaves d team(dem no kuku useful b4)


2) we add amuneke to d present coaching crew to act as TD while every oda person would maintain deir position..aside yobo and paul .however dis time around,d TD won't work afar from d team like eguavoen does during rohr.he would b present in deir trainings,drillings,team selection.I believe eguavoen is cool headed and will b willing to work with anybody. Both can even b on d touchline dishing out instructions same way we c Sam alardyce and Sammy Lee does

komekn:
Interesting comments by Yeboah , add that to the comments of Salisu about being asked to pay bribe before playing for Ghana. Add the further comments made by Mbappe Father about Cameroon asking for Bribe.

Now consider our coaches Salisu and SiaSia and both indicted for corruption. But welcomed back to the NFF as if nothing happened.

Then looking at this journey man coach we have contacted.

Then add my first hand comments about a certain bullish coach asking Some Aluko must change his agent to his preferred agent before he can play for the SE .

Does anybody think that the NFF is corruption free ? and if not then what role has corruption played in our early exit from this tournament prior and after.

TheGoodJoe:


Eguavoen proved himself in this competition. So what are you talking about?

zuchyblink:
Eguaveon did what? Third place finish in AFCON is not an achievement in Nigeria not to talk of exiting the competition in the round of 16. Please stop praising mediocrity. That match showed how tactically inept Eguaveon is,no plan B at all.

TheGoodJoe:


Where you guys get this tactically outclass from beats me. We were the better side. So Eguavoen was not tactically outclassed.

TheGoodJoe:


You can only type tactical onept but you can not prove it by stating how.

Secondly, do you understand that man ran a crash program with those guys, few days together and turned them to one of the fiercest team in the competition.

He literally spent days with them and was awarded the best coach of the group stage.

We were eliminated through unfortunate events, not poor coaching.

Please respect when someone does well. Even me that is not an Eguavoen fan was totally impressed. The man is a sound tactician and coach.

Finito.

TheGoodJoe:
On a serious note, who will Chelsea prefer to buy?

OSIMHEN

OR

CAVANI.

I am sure all will say Osimhen but yet some are trying to make it as if Cavani is a better player than Osimhen today.

TheSuperNerd:




What game did you watch? Did you miss the part where Ndidi saved Okoye's blushes in the first half with that goalline block/clearance?

Tunisia had 3 shots on target man. We only had ONE. One!!! Zero shots on target sef in the first half alone.

So what nonsense are you even saying??

We even had more possession but we clearly didn't use most of it through the middle. We were clueless through the middle.

Our best game remains the second team that played vs Bissau. We were so tidy in possession yet so creative going forward. We hurt them from so many parts of the pitch and not just through the wings.
We diversified in that game and how Eguavoen failed to mix it up to confound the tunisians when he knew they would be ready to match the tactics of the first XI really shows how monotonous his tactical approach was.

He didn't have a good contingency plan. It's funny funny I had 2 and he as coach had none. Funny.

Sportilitica:

Cavani is in another class Osimhen is trying to get to. Osimhen is good but to compare with Cavani is really not fair

drDoom3:


Vlahovic and Osimhen had similar stats until Osimhen got injured.

Cavani will not perform better than Osimhen or Vlahovic in Serie A, take it anywhere. In fact go and ask the Napoli fans that Cavani is even their club legend. Mertens that is Napoli all time top scorer even ahead of Cavani, Higuain and Maradona, no be the same Osimhen dey bench am before he injure?
