Naija Invites Drama: Alhassan Yusuf's Invite was cancelled

Score Nigeria's Samm Audu reports that Royal Antwerp received correspondence from the NFF on Friday cancelling Alhassan Yusuf's Initial Original invite.

So in a nutshell, Yusuf was in the list but his name taken out. SMH.

How the NFF and Technical crew could come to an agreement to deplete the one department of the team that needed more hands, legs and brains shows that both don't really understand what they are doing as regards the Super Eagles.

We ought to be building on our middle game dynamics and not depleting the personnel further. Na wa.

In all, Alhassan's time must come. It cannot be stopped.

Super Eagles List: Latest Update... Ozornwafor called up

Ladies and Gentlemen, A lad who is currently chopping bench in French Ligue 2, Valentine Ozornwafor has been called up to replace Leon Balogun.

His club is currently in action and he is warming that bench comfortably.

Who is selecting these players? Well, that's the latest.

Joebie:
The problem is there is bias in the system. Selection is not strictly by merit. NFF will only hire coaches that will allow them to interfere. When Peseiro learns his lessons and wants to put his foot on the ground it would be too late.

do4luv14:



no thanks to Rogers though

Amedino99:
Rodgers should not be allowed to even reach the conference room before he is sacked. Romancing relegation this early in the season

fabyom:
Please Joebie, who is/are on that list without merit?

Samueltemi337:
A team that refused to sign any player and you are blaming it on the coach

hatakekakashi:
Those La liga critics here should tune into Bilbao vs Rayo match. Some lovely play on display.

Danielnino00:
Official!

The squad list

Danielnino00:


Calm down... Lewandowski too is in technical laliga and is scoring freely...

Werner was deadly in the budensliga but struggled in the EPL

temi1290:


I can't remember la liga fans trolling lewandoski for a miss in the Spanish super cup

Omanambala:


Decent squad.

Make Aribo rest small.

charlesemeka85:

Ndidi is being harshly criticized. Very harshly. John Evans made a terrible pass option. Ndidi was in a sea of Tottenham players and his teammates created no passing lines for him. They got their positioning wrong.

caprikon:


On the flip side, it's likely Conte prepared his team to press Ndidi in a tight area to cut of his passing options knowing full well he has limited ball playing skils. I have hardly seen Ndidi dribble his way out of a tight press.

TheGoodJoe:


I don't think it is just about Ndidi alone but pressing strategy as a whole. The Tottenham team in the above position was set up to press the ball and deny the team passing options. And yes, someone more in-depth in the deep passing game would have had a better chance of making better use of the position.

It does not nullify the fact that Ndidi had limited chances to pass due to the poor positioning of the Leicester players. It was atrocious build up playing structure and Ndidi should not shoulder most of the blame.

The set-up was poor and the coaching crew should take the blame and stem it out.

benji93:
Please stop this. It's ok to admit Ndidi is indeed limited in his passing range. Don't put this on the positioning of Leicester players. Both can be true independently and be disastrous together.

TheGoodJoe:


I don't understand. That positioning is atrocious. The full back and the other defender should be closer to give Ndidi passing options. It is clear as daylight from the screenshot posted.

The coaching crew should sort that out. That is a poor defensive structure for a team under press. Evans passing to Ndidi in such position is clearly asking for trouble.

I watched d replay,ndidi had d whole time to release d pass to his next team mate but he silly dallied and he was caught unguarded leading to a goal....so ndidi was at fault 100percent
