TheGoodJoe:
You are just attacking. You are not really making a point.

Today, I became bitter because I have seen we will not play the way I want and also we have influences that will not allow it happen.

For instance, we needed Iheanacho towards the end. But, he must play Ighalo. No one should tell me anything, it is influenced. Iheanacho is the only striker we have that can drop deep and hit a decent pass. He is good at crossing. He has a good shooting range.

Should Musa come in ahead of someone like Amoo?

COOL10:
When Rohr was in charge they didn't blame outside influence
Now Eguavoen is in charge, politicians are to blame.

I hail una

Jasmine80:
Shut up your foolish mouth he missed 2 half chances that world class strikers will convert. Ewu

codemaniacs:
Musa and Ighalo coming on shocked me... you may be right because Yesterday I was watching a sports program where former S.E goalkeeper Idah and Victor ikpeba were talking about the S.E and Idah said Ighalo and Musa should play and in my mind I was saying thank the heavens you're not the coach only for Eguavoen to bring them on in the 2nd half.

I don't think it's the politicians. It's the ex and retired players that are picking and influencing the team.

That's why I don't want any local coach anymore until after 2026.

Most of the players today will be 4 years older and some of them will be past their prime so it's bad S.E is not qualifying this year.

It's painful. I see some of my Nigerian brothers, switching sides and actin like rats already. They whimpering and disowning the darling team already. That shows they were plastic fans.

Bruvv, I don't know what team you support, I don't know your clubside but I guess there was a time it was in it lowest ebb. Did you become a rat? Did you switch sides and curse that quick?

In life, things happens. It can't be all smooth. It's no bed of roses but you have to keep moving and be on the better sides of history. We the Nigerian people should understand that.
This pain is temporary.

We had shots not shots on target. The attack was very disjointed and there was no gameplan. We can't even score an open play goal against a poor Ghanian team.

It is not ridiculous to blame the coach. Ghana buffed up the midfield at the second half and neutralized us, yet Eguavoen was pushed in multiple attackers. You have three poachers. Who will feed them. Why was lookman even taken off early So many questions. We need a better coach simple. Eguavoen is just using this team to break negative records.

Icon79:
Like I posted on Twitter:

100 percent of the blame should go to @PinnickAmaju and @thenff. You don’t fire your coach 6 months before your biggest tournament and your biggest qualifying games. That’s sheer madness. Let’s hope some folks will have the decency to resign!


O pari

COOL10:
Now you see why some kick against indeginous coaches.

opes:
Sunday Dare that forced local coach on this team should be happy now. The so called local coaches have not achieved anything outside the country, to them, it is their birth right to coach super Eagles. AE that couldnt achieve anything with Sunshine Stars and the jobless Amuneke were the best to qualify us for world cup? what an insult

TheGoodJoe:
Let me repeat myself so you will understand. I have followed the game for too long and today, it dawned on me that we are going no where because for too long, outside influences will not let the game progress.

It cuts across to the time of Westerhof. Including Rohr. You think it was Rohr calling Musa when he was clubless to the team?

Stillwater10:
Most persons here will not admit it, but that is the simple true. There was absolutely no reason to have sacked Rohr as of when we did. What is now the difference between Rohr and Eguavoan? At least Rohr had good history with us.

elyte89:
OK officially.. Let's close down dis thread

COOL10:
Did you come out to talk about this 'outside influence' when Rohr was in charge?

Stormtrooper11:
Why? Lol, because of we were kicked out. Italy was kicked out two years in a row, I guess they're closing all their football spaces. Smh

TheGoodJoe:

I repeat and will say it again. We need to get it right. Stop the short cuts. Qualifying for tournaments is mediocre. It means nothing. It is about making a big statement.

Rohr was taking us no where. Even in the next 50years, unless we are okay with just qualifying.

Eguavoen started well but somehow the yes sir thing came to play.

At the end, we need to one day wake up and learn how to okay football. If not, the cycle continues and we will stay satisfied with we qualified.

leathalbeast:
thanks bro but we need dennis and oshimen for the world cup, can you borrow us those guys ?

Stormtrooper11:
Actually, I'm one of those guys that wanted a 3 man midfield. We got the midfield most of us requested for. We got the lineup most of requested for. Many guys here wanted Lookman and Dennis to start because we felt Simon and chukwueze dribbles too much .

Some guys wanted Bassey over Sanusi cos they felt Bassey was so good in rangers and better than Sanusi. We got that.
We got everything we asked for. We lost.
Why did we lose? Poor coaching. I saw the eyes of the boys, they fought, they gave their all. People here saying that the foreign borns are lazy are just being petty. Players born in country of origin might have quite more hunger but it doesn't mean our foreign borns were lazy at all.
Do you know that's the world cup? Is their anybody that'll just leave the opportunity to go to the world cup slide?


Nigeria tried. We're giants. The day Nigeria stops these tribalism, nepotism and corruption, that's the day even the U.S will catch goosebumps.

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

TheGoodJoe:

He is right. The thread is over. Read the title.

BascoVanVeli:
We dominated possession and we had way more shots on target. What else could the coach do Did he tell Uzoho not to catch that back Pass It is ridiculous to blame the coach after that performance.

dijon:
I thought i could engage you without insult but guess you cannot project your summations without using vulgar word. Good night

TheGoodJoe:

History like what, Qualifying us for a world cup which an indigenous coach has not done? Winning Bronze in AFCON which an indigenous coach has not done.

Stormtrooper11:
You know it's funny how yall feel okay to accept the fact that something you cherish and love so much, something you followed with passion would be snatched from you and that passion comes to an abrupt end.

I know you might have been following this Nigerian Football thing from a longer time than I,but I can't just give in because at the end of the tunnel, there would be light. Things might take time but things will get better. It will do us no good to close down the thread. The thread is a mine of knowledge.
We can better still, rename it but if yall want to close it, it's fine.

Cocking:
In exchange for some cedis

Stillwater10:
The timing of the sack of Rohr was wrong. Rohr should have been allowed to finish up then any coach can start a continuation or rebuilding.
Throwing Eguavoen straight into AFCON and world cup qualifiers was reckless and hoping on luck.
My history here refers to the fact that Rohr had qualified us before and might have the experience to do it again.
