I think Eguavoen at this point needs to shut up. He talks way too much.

Do the talk on the pitch and not media houses. He should be planning and strategizing with his assistants on the game next week.

I am still trying to understand what is wrong in a coach looking for players that suit his philosophy.

It should impress people to note that the coach believes the team can improve and is still searching for the right players to suit what he has in mind.

The Brazilians still rave about the squad that had Socrates and Zico. A lot of Brazilian coaches use that pattern of play as a template for their teams.

So I wonder why Eguavoen looking for midfielders with the quality of Oliha and Adepoju bothers people.

For me, I find it interesting and would like to look into what made these players special.

When Rohr wasn’t talking, you guys claimed that he is too boring, dry, quiet and meek. Now, you’re claiming that Eguavoen is talking too much. Nigerian fans talk too much abegi

13large:


Hindsight is 20/20 because now the same people that were criticizing gernot rohr for not understanding Nigeria football identity and praising Eguavoen is speaking differently

semid4lyfe:


1.That's the problem, Eguavoen is hung up on the past and is too player centric.

A good coach harnesses the talents at his disposal and adopts tactics suited to their strengths and to neutralize the opponents.

For example, Tunisia was depleted and without 12 players (some of them key players) when they played us at the AFCON. The coach did not whine. Instead, he adopted a tactical formation that overloaded the midfield, played close & compact, cut off our wingplay by double marking our wingers and got the win.

2. Eguavoen is misyarning and making gaffes all over the place.

➡️Admitting some players were invited to pacify certain people & interests

➡️Saying he has not traveled to watch some players play live and that's why they were not invited.

That's a nonsensical statement. This is 2022 for crying out loud and with the internet one can comfortably watch matches in the comfort of his/her living room and assess players.

➡️Hyping a retired player with questionable commitment and trying to bring him back into the fold

➡️Saying he knows his starting 11 against Ghana when the players have not reported to camp and had any training.

➡️Saying he cannot play through the middle (midfield) because he lacks players like Mutiu Adepoju and the late Thompson Oliha.

When you juxtapose the last two statements, you'll realize Eguavoen has already given away his formation and tactics for the game against ghana

Eguavoen no try abeg.


By the way, there was nothing special in Thompson Oliha and Mutiu Adepoju. It's just Eguavoen and his nostalgia for the past.

But rohr tried implementing his own tactics and you guys claimed that he doesn’t know Nigeria football identity. Now, let’s enjoy Eguavoen 424 wing focused formation

Beloved03:


Hmmm.

I'd advise you watch the game with less excitement to manage your expectation.
The game can go either ways.

Besides Eguavon doesn't seem to inspire much confidence after throwing away that cheap game to Tunisia.

It's not all about playing exciting attacking football. Rather it is about knowing what to expect from each opponent and how to react to the game effectively.

To be honest, he reacted well I that Tunisia match. Bringing on Iwobi and Sadiq was a game changer but the red card spoilt everything.
What I'm finding boring now is his obessiveness with the 1994 eagles.

Can you just shut up with all these Rohr rubbish you dey talk.... You've no point man. Counter the posts with better points,not with all these 'i told you so' rubbish

caprikon:
Aside Eguavoen talking about his team, tactics and so on .....he needs to show some level of innovation and flexibility in his tactical approach.

The Ghanaians are most likely going to adopt the Tunisian template at AFCON against us because it suits them perfectly as the underdog. Wouldn't be surprised if Ghana lines up in a 4-5-1 formation, defending deep and relying on counters.

semid4lyfe:


That's exactly how they'll play.

Playing an open all out attacking formation against us will be suicidal for them cos of our fast & skillful forward players.

...... and I am not sure Eguavoen knows how to counter that formation.

TheGoodJoe:

I do not think any coach knows how to break a compact defensive setup easily. We just saw Manchester City lose points against Crystal Palace who played this way.

Even Liverpool drop points against deep playing teams.

We hope we find a way to break it. My proposal is for us to work on corners. We need to train effectively on executing corners but also keep a tidy setup, so we do not get hit on counters during corners.

Playing pattern:
Get the ball to wide players often and get to the corner line and force corners.

Early execution of the corner will open the Ghanaians.

We should also consider shooting from long range with curling shots.

Dennis is an average player, the way he's hyped here as the best thing to happen to the SE as if he has been brilliant for at least 3 seasons. There is nothing Dennis is doing in the EPL that the likes of Ighalo, iheanacho, Osaze and yakubu have not done.

JohnBullMySon:
You defend Eguavoen too much bro. Even in very unnecessary situations, you'll still type a long speech. Are you now saying that Guardiola cannot break any low block easily because he lost to Crystal Palace. Hansi flick too?

I believe in Eguavoen but he's beginning to make very clueless statements of recent. Imagine saying that the reason you didn't invite dessers is because you have not been watching him. Then again he said that he knows his first eleven.

Those two statements already show a serious problem. Eguavoen may actually not be watching Nigerian players well enough. That's why he can have a fixed eleven in his head. He may not even be watching their games. That's not a good thing oh.

Actually he will not , The current left back is Antonee Robinson, in 2020 a £10 million transfer to AC Milan failed to Materialize on account of irregular heart rhythm on his medical. When he played for Wigan athletic in the Championship.

He is a USA international with 22+ caps, as you know USA is ranked 13 and Nigeria 32 by FIFA. In my opinion he is considerably better than Zaidu.

It's on that basis I say he is not good enough to get into the Fulham team.

komekn:



My goodness see analysis.

I doubt if Zaidu will get into any EPL club.

Ndidi has not been outstanding this season he is a very long way from world class.

Victor O, plays with fiery rage and Aggression I have not seen in any player. He is truly relentless in his pursuit of the goal. He is not the best technically speaking and his goal tally is not outstanding.

However, in a different team that plays him as a True no 9 , he will score goals a lot more I think. But he is till very far off world class.
