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.
Mediocre poor quality performanced in a league that's largely on the level of English league two or lower.

He played and failed at Arsenal, went to the Eredivise failed got demoted to the Eerste Divisie ( 2nd tier Dutch league) he failed again, then ended up in Porto B and could not even get in the team as a regular. Arsenal finally were able to get rid contract not renewed. He ended up in Huesca but they did not rate him and tried to terminate hic contract early. He gorsy Ponferradina FC a near bankrupt club in the relegation zone of the Segunda division.

He is a desperate Dan that has no other leverage to get a better club. He needs the SE to get relevance.

the coach is there to collect his salary...

whether the S.E plays well or not they will continue to invite the same players maybe its true that they pay to play... Dennis after his arrogance and disrespect to the team will still be invited..

the players have become lackadaisical because they know they will always be invited and no one can bench them...

Can a player like Dennis play according to the coach's planhuh

its the same formation and players Eguavoen used that Poseiro is also using...

Another thing is relying too much on Moses Simon as if his the all time highest goalscorer... remove Moses Simon from starting 11 or the team entirely and let Ndidi play CB or bench him and you'll see a different S.E
The magic wand [and it is not magic] is having a sound coach with sound system of play

Then that system will select the boys to play

NT football doesn't afford some luxuries so I expect that the coach does his homework long before there is a camp

This life is funny sha

Olivier Giroud is about to become France's all time highest goal scorer. One more goal and he gets it. This is the same guy a lot of football fans love to yab. He's such an underrated guy; little to no controversies, selfless, and efficient.

He's on 51 goals now. Give this man some respect.

The Black Stars of Ghana has the most complete team of any African nations at this World Cup.

Defenders: Salisu, Amartey, Djiku, Odio/Lamptey.

Midfielders: Samad (Lens), Partey (Arsenal) and Kudus (Ajax)/Kyere (Freiburg).

Strikers: Jordan/Bukari, Inaki, and Ayew/Sulaiman.

All the Black Stars need is Self Believe!!
they don’t have goals in their attack but if they keep it compact they can have a good tournament

I sure say no be Keshi own be that. I won't forget the CHAN match against Morocco that Keshi turned around. However, he and the NFF were in constant battles, also yes he made questionable invites but towards the end, I think he recalled the Sone Alukos, Raheem Lawal, Ike Uche but it was too late. My belief is that he would have learned from failings and adjusted. But one thing was clear, his team no matter how poor in quality they were, never played with fear. RIP Big Boss!!

Since they play regularly at their club sides, I'd say it's a coaching problem. Think how we've been battling with midfield problems and proper deployment of players.

Don't be too quick to comment


watch ball finish
I don't understand your point. We just saw minnows like Australia have a go at one of the best sides in the game. I made my comment before Australia scored. Watching the ball finish and commenting is easy. I am talking about philosophy and play.

Australia's problem has to do with stamina. They ran out of steam in the first half and could not press. Then the French outran them. Now the coach of Australia needs to work on pressing stamina and build from there.

While us, we park the bus. There is no room for growth. So I know why I commented. If you know about me, it is not about the results. That is why it is not about "watch the ball finish".

grin That football fizzled out faster than vapor

It is stamina. Deschamps switched his tactics and got his team to hold the ball better. The Australians ran out of steam. It is still a learning process, and I would like to see how their coach will work on it in due time.

Remember, Australians are minnows and kudos to them.

I think you spoke too soon sir.

I did not speak too soon. The problem is many of you reason with the aspect of winning. I made my comment before Australia scored. So, I did not talk too soon. I was talking about how they could hold the ball against one of the best teams in the world, without world-class players.

They ran out of steam to press and the tactics of Deschamps allowed his players to hold the ball longer.

My point is that, if Australia can hold the ball in such crisp fashion, the Super Eagles cannot tell me we can't build a team that can. It balls down to our coaching philosophy and picking a manager that aligns with it.

Doing that does not counter the point. It shows that you can get results from players that are not from pro leagues if they are groomed properly.

Kudus, Inaki, Ayew senior, and Partey can score goals. Even Salisu, Djiki and Amartey have the area prowess to score from corner kicks. They also have that guy from Club Brugge that scored against Porto. I think his name is Sowal.

His players lack stamina but asked them to press? What stop Australia from changing tactics too? A team just lost 4-1 in a World cup tournament and you are making excuses for the team. The disrespect the Super Eagles is getting on here is appalling. We have played France, Brazil, Argentina and Ukraine in the last 16 years and has never lost beyond a 2 goals margin. What are you trying to say?

He is talking about the playing style. And he believes if with the caliber of players we have, we should be able to play the same way if not better. IMO

Yes he has achieved results no doubt, took an unfancied Monaco to UCL finals and won a WC but men I no just gbadun the guy. Last WC he took Mendy for a tourist trip, person wey dey injured, na wa.

How did you come to that conclusion.

Is the form of Ejuke better than that of Lookman and or Tella
Ejuke is more direct. I will prefer lookman or Awoniyi to play Aribo's position.

Tella can come on at halftime for Ejuke. But since his young NFF won't even invite him.. I see him as a succession plan so for me he has to be invited as soon as possible and given game time of at least 30 - 90 mins per match

What you are missing is growth. We have not lost in that manner but in five years we have not grown. What I saw yesterday in Australia is a team determined to grow. They may have lost but at that period before they scored, we saw a team capable of outplaying and beating one of the best sides in world football. That we cannot say over five to six years. The keyword is growth.

Super Eagles lost its respect when we stopped being brave Super Eagles and I hope it changes.

If Australia can play that way, we have no excuse why we will play negative against South Africa.
