It seems you've not following the super eagles

This guys stephen Eze, Aneke etc and co leave for obscure leagues abroad at the slightest opportunity the coach can't stop them... and after that you barely hear of them again

A recent example is Anayo Iwuala. When Iwuala was home based we never got peace until he was called up regularly. After leaving for Esperance Tunis nobody called for him again. Why? So what was the point all along? Now he's in the Algerian league.

I used to rate him as a player hopefully he's still good.

Chances Creators for Nigeria today

4 - Victor Osimhen

3 - Zaidu Sanusi

2 - Moses Simon

1 - Kenneth Omeruo, Joe Aribo.

Good game from an attacking point of view. Osimhen just loves playing against the Sierra Leonians 4 goals in 3 matches against them now.

Osayi was impressive again today.

Chukwueze and Simon especially were annoying with their decision making today. When they should cross they opt to take on their man, when they should take on their opposite number they decide to deliver ineffectual crosses.

Team still looks a good way from being AFCON contenders. Thankfully there's still time between now till January next year but can the NFF take the necessary decisions to improve the team?

ecoco2014:
Poor decision in Coach appointment and players selection cost us the qualifiers.

And the players picked were not home based players? Oga we are not kids here..this thread have been existing for years and many monikers here are oldies.... same way we support the super eagles foreign based players we follow up the chan team, female football and cadet teams so save us the blushes

They had to win. A draw was never going to be enough.

Okay I just looked up the table. That's true.

Never mind the midfield. Firstly you cannot win anything without a goal keeper.

And that center back options are right now are quite frankly no where near good enough to go through a tournament unscathed.

Lol... Forgiveness. You are forcing this take. We can as well call every goal scored in football, individual brilliance then, attributing it only to the scorer since if he doesn't score, there is no goal right? Let's just forget the passers or creative players.

Infact even tap ins are results of individual brilliance then.

Osimhen's second goal too was Individual brilliance since he "brilliantly" attacked that space and persisted to slot that ball in. Yep, let's forget Aribo's pass.

Bringing in watching academy matches doesn't validate your take. I have seen academy matches as well.

forgiveness:


The bolded sums it up. His space to beat Omeruo and his technique to bury the ball is individual brilliance.

These days, I have the opportunity to watch academy matches 2 to 3 times daily and I saw many of these chances missed. Why? The coaches remarks were, he doesn't have the individual brilliance. In fact, they will stop the game and correct the players. Sometimes, they do push up to server as punishment.

These are certified coaches.

So, if you say his space to beat his marker and his ability to scorw was not individual brilliance, then I don't need to go further.

The guys in the glass house or LmC forcing the super eagles coach to invite this players just wanna market them abroad...the players too want to make some cash prior they retire. We know how this this things works

Marjoribanks:
Show me one perfect team? No team is perfect but when a coach does well give him his flowers or get a team to coach yourself. I do not understand how you want a team to be perfect with a week of training. Show me an african team with a perfect game in the last week? A midfield of Aribo, Iwobi and Ndidi is the best in this current squad!

midfield trio of iwobi,ndidi and aribo is not the best

Remove aribo and put nwakali 🥱

Oya hold the cup and celebrate na. Mugu

Marjoribanks:
Werey! We don win keep crying!

We need friendly games to try out Onyedika, Alhassan, Daga, Nnadi, Eletu and Nwachukwu. But we won't do it. Trust me.

What we will do is arrange friendlies, call up exactly the same squad bar maybe 1 or 2 players and play a very familiar 11 on match day, with Musa on the bench (stealing a valuable spot for a young player), for his experience

Oliseh will win AFCON before Jpes.

Oga, what if he receives the pass and doesn't know what to do next when Omeruo was still facing him?

I don't know if you have played ball before but if you had, you should have understood.

My point is not from watching academy matches but from the remarks of certified coaches life and direct.

I think that validates my point. This in not about forcing take but stating it as it is.

Besides, tap in doesn't translate to individual brilliance even that goal was not in anyway a tap in.

He received the ball but did something extra, that makes it individual brilliance. Shikena.

Of those u20 midfielders, one of them came in the second half of that game we lost to Brazil. I think of the trio, he will go farthest.

@Bolded... there was a time I actually agreed with this on this thread and even analysed it and made a full thread on their potential on twitter but I am no longer at this phase. I know much better now. I have outgrown it because I see the several flaws in that set up. But you are still at the phase where they are the best in your eyes. It's fine.


And you ask if there is any perfect team? You are the one always making it seem like the Nigerian Super Eagles don't have problems naa. That we are perfect. Why ask me such a question if you are against me analysing this team and pointing out where we can improve?

The other things you say is just yammerings from thin air. You are forcing assumptions that aren't true. I want us to be better especially with the profiles that I know can give our game a lift. Simple.

As for Alhassan, I would like to see him play for another season. I rate Onyedika over Bonke. Onyeka is okay. Nwakali should be in SE right now.

I need to watch todays game though because I was in a Father’s Day lunch party.

It is not individual brilliance of one player, Mister man. Our defensive set up got split with that one pass to Bundu and he finished well. Simple.

You are forcing a false narrative becos you speak to academy coaches. Lol

The fact is Bundu's finish was just as good as the pass he received. Both were brilliant.

I get where you're coming from. The player took the chance with aplomb! Had he missed no one would have been surprised so there was some brilliance there. Many of our players squander similar chances upandan.

I knew Moses Simon just dey make noise for training. Matchday he is anonymous. Him as well as Musa, past their prime.

Odunayaw:
Incase you have not noticed, the quality of the local scenes is not the same with the 90s

And you're talking to someone that goes to watch Shooting Stars at Lekan Salami stadium. I'm not just throwing stones.

Anything outside "best man plays" is quota. Quota isn't tied to ethnicity

Up sooting!!shooting!!! Omo Iya!!!! Baba ti ba wa se!!

Not only an academy coach but a National coach. Do you now under why it validates my point?

I was keeping that in the arsenal for you, knowing you could rubbish the academy coaches.

I know my people.

Bundo finished from tap in. That's what you want to portray here. Go on mister.

His movement before he took his chance is my highlight of his individual chances.

Exactly, Chukwueze own na tap in em suppose do because nothing was blocking him but he missed it.

Please what's do you guys think about the goalie cos that has been a sore part of our team
