That's the problem. Blackman wants results but he doesn't want to look at patterns, he doesn't want to study, he doesn't want put in the hard work. Just give him results.

But football has gone beyond cha cha. Watch that Saudi Arabian backline. Watch how they were disciplined and sturdy in holding that high defensive line you will see that it is not a matter of big heart.
make we dey deceive ourselves dey go, shebi we get players. We keep throwing out all sort of nomenclature but no output. e go better nah abi

Hello sir, it's not the analyst on this thread that are coaching the super eagles.
That’s true

But we’re being delusional

We got a handful of really good players that can change the game only on the attack end only On the attacking end only on the attacking end.

We use the brightness of those guys to overlook the entire poor layout of the rest of the team.

Who’s a stand out player from DMF downwards ndidi needs to find his rhythm bassey is still young. Sanusi is stand out the rest is just average to fill up space and we’ll be surprise when we lose to people we’re supposed to beat

You are being manipulative with the point.

You are deliberately not asking the right questions.

The real questions are, "Why wasn't I ignored despite being Africa-based? Why did they take me instead of the others in better equipped environments? Why did I come out first despite being in Africa? How come a young medical scholar from Africa bested some of the best from half around the world and in more reputable institutions to bag that research scholarship slot?"

If we don't give those that merit a chance, an actual chance, how are we ever gonna know?

We are talking about those that can come in RIGHT NOW and uplift our Super Eagles especially in the middle game and you are of the perspective that they must be playing for Real Madrid first? Is that it?

So again, you are dodging the real issue here.

Those that are ready now based on the technical/tactical qualities they have which our team truly needs, should be admitted NOW and not given a wait permit till when they enter the Top 5 leagues. If you are good now as you are, then you are good. Simple.

AndSunGorilla:
Proud of your achievements bro, really proud, hope to see more achievements in the very near future. Now to the discourse, you will see because your demonstrable and visible qualities you got into one of the best research institutes in the world. So shouldn't we expect the same from our players?

Oga no be coaching go teach u basics of aw to pass and play with each oda,dis has been lacking in our games ever since,even d games we win ,na mostly from counters...deres something fundamentally wrong with our team dt needs urgent attention.
I am not talking about d coaching aspect now,but d team itself.haven’t u seen oda teams play? Even in defeats u enjoy deir game

But in. Our own case,one minute we have d ball, d next one or two minutes,d opponent have retrieved it
You used two terms here "we" and "our team".
obviously you're referring to the team in general.. Their overall performance is poor which indicates a coaching problem... If these guys play like this ag their clubs, it would be understandable...But we all know at club level, they are decent...
Which of Rohr and Peserio have a pedigree of building a formidable team? They are just kow budget coaches Pinnick saw fit to appoint because they were recommended to him by Wenger and Mourinho...

that is how we are in this forum, someone starts a genuine conversation that's clear-minded and everybody knows but just to prove a point, some folks will come in and manipulatively divert the conversation. We all want the best for our national teams but some folks always think when you point out the weakness in our teams it's an opportunity for them to tell us other things they falsely think we are not aware of even when our national team failures are as bright as the morning sun. No wonder we keep having mediocre players in our national teams who can't take us anywhere

Ok sir. Nwakali has been a blessed and lucky dude, he had the opportunity of joining Arsenal at a young age, an opportunity that mist aspiring footballers would never get, he was voted one of the best at his U17 days, he has played in the dutch league and in the La Liga, in my opinion, those are huge platforms, he really doesn't need the National team platform to prove himself. That said, I have said and I do believe he should be given an invite to the national team based on his performances this season but I am not the coach or the NFF tech team. That is their job to give out invites.

Did you watch the Mexico vs Hb nigeria game? It was an eyesore!!!! I repeat what we have is a coaching problem, simple. A good coach will use what he has or find what he needs, that's all!!! Westerhoff decided he wasn't going to use Owubokiri or Obiku in those days despite their great performances. Westerhoff decided Yekini would bench an england based Efan Ekoku, he decided an inform Nwanu is better than an experienced Keshi. Keshi also decided to go with an inexperienced Omeruo/Oboabona over Yobo and countless other examples in his title winning quest. I strongly believe if we have the right coach, I don't care if the person is a foreigner or Nigerian, we would achieve great things either with these same set of players or new additions in some areas.

My point is that if it’s possible we should rotate and ur pool of players to see if that will help.

Because as things stand right now our current crop some inside don rotten we need new seeds na

Don’t forget age cheating. Some our boys that are 28 now fit don 32 normally.

We have no say about the coaches picks but these guys are not it


We only win matches everyone knows we can win, and struggle against a team that’s close to our caliber
ok, this your new crop where you wan go harvest them from since you don’t like European super stars

The passion that the Saudis exhibited today is something that Nigeria and African football desperately lacks. Whenever our team is pitted up against a giant, most times we already accept the fact that we'll fail and and this is reflected in our gameplay.

With KSA's win, I actually feel that the pressure on African teams has just been turned up by a 100. Asian football may be surpassing African football for good
passion don’t win games, solid tactical plan does and that’s what Saudi exhibited today

Sir historically African teams have shocked many giants on the world stage. The Cameroun WC team of 1982 did not lose any games, even playing 1-1 against the eventual champions Italy. Same Cameroun defeated Maradona led Argentina in 1990 and even finishing the game with 9 men. What about the heroics of our team against one of the tournament's favorite Spain in 1998, Senegal beating France in 2002, our famous Olympic gold in 1996 against the Bebeto, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Roberto Carlos inspired Brazil?
Even in 94, do you know we beat the eventual 4th place finished Bulgaria at the WC, hands down. Our problem remains organization and admin and of course that affects the kind of coaches we hire. If we get those two right, we would definitely improve.

Largerbeer was good too, but he spent a very short time. His team really played well if not for Yakubu and Kaita who decided to show their own craze grin

But make we tell ourselves the truth, the NFF can't afford a top quality coach now. As for me, we can find a young low budget coach ready to build his cv. Like when Renard was still coaching Zambia, right now, we no fit afford am.

The pressure is on us given our performance at the last mundial. African football has caught alot of flack since then. We need to perform well this year.

Look at even the local teams, none of them are doing well in the African tournaments. There was a time at least a Nigerian club will make it to semi-finals of those tournaments or at least the finals, but see what's happening now.

Since that year that Heartland and Kano Pillars made it to the Semis of the Caf CL, its been a horrible representation till now. They still can't even formulate mode of operations off-pitch vs North African teams. And someone wants us to continue to act like they're okay for consideration?? Smh
