Ndidi’s rumored withdrawal will open una eyes to how good Raph Onyedika Nwadike is

We shoild first hope that Peseiro gives him playing time..
The way I see it, if Peseiro sticks with 4-4-2, then it's gonna be Onyeka and Iwobi in midfield...

Quality helps but a top coach will always get the best out of players. Reminds me of what Herve Renard achieved with Zambia in 2012.

komekn:
When you have top quality players and they don't perform in your team set up , who do you blame the coach or the players, in the Nigerian 🇳🇬 situation 100% with the coach.

Not necessarily Ndidi will be a big miss yes but he was also there when we crashed out of the second round of the AFCON two years ago.

We have decent options who can still deliver only if the coach is untop of his game.

Napoleon55:
With the absence of Ndidi,our chances just got dropped significantly.

Ndidi's absence will be felt,it also comes with it an opportunity for us to find out suitable back ups for Ndidi for our WC qualifying games.

This whole AFON would serve us well as a preparatory exercise for future matches given PJ's lacking in charisma and what it takes to win the trophy itself.

However all hope cannot be lost when it comes to Nigerian spirit in occasion like this.
SE has proven everyone wrong before,let's just hope this time is one of them.


Personally, if I'm being realistic, is 50-50 chance for us.

oloriooko:
Bunch of clueless oily empty heads
Just go, get beaten complain and walk out on NFF; same old story

Pay them rather than give them peanuts monthly because they didn’t have jobs before you called them
The coach is just a politician if you ask me, thanks to NFF

Cecco90:
Confirmed

I guess Osimhen, Troost or Musa takes up the captain band

I hope LeIcester city don’t try this rubbish in Morocco Afcon 2025 when they’re in the EPL
They are 10 points ahead of Ipswich right now
Still half of the season to go but they will get to the EPL
I guess they want to win the championship
Afcon 2025 is the last time for this quality generation of players to win Afcon if you ask me
Ndidi , Iheanacho, Awoniyi , Lookman 27 years
Osimhen, Chukwueze 25 years

If Jpes has listed a 27 man squad with Alhassan Yusuf and Nwakali listed,
With the injuries of Ndidi and Iheanancho, Players like Daga,Moffi,Dele Bashiru would have been given a look in.

Frank Onyeka seems set to play alongside Iwobi in midfield.

If Nigeria does well,it will boil down to the brilliance of the players and not Jpes tactical acumen and brilliance.
Jpes with his outdated 4-4-2 formation

I don't have any expectation for the SE.

If they do well, fine
If they don't,it is expected

NFF is our major problem.

I will rather have Jpes fail to get to the semi finals and then gets fired
Than hay him get to the semifinals and then fails to get us to the world cup.

We don't need such a coach coaching the Super Eagles...

This team can only perform with the individual brilliance of the players. There is no coach in the picture.

My conclusion from the interview
Peseiro was instructed by NFF to make it 25 players
See how they want to handicap this man because of lack of funds
Short 2 is going to someone’s pocket lol

Daninya33:
Alhassan Yusuf has been drafted to replace injured Ndidi.

I even want to c dis alhassan yussuf guy…Thesupernerd really rate dis dude so high. 😀

I no understand again..

Before the list was released, the news we were hearing was that NFF wanted 27 man list, but Peseiro wanted 25.. now the tables have turned

Boys are ready

Have you watched the interview on NFF media outlet

We don’t have decent options
Frank is not a natural 4, box to box
Onyedika is not a world class 4

What of Alhassan

Danielnino00:
I have never seen Nigerians expressing so much pessimism in the buildup to an international tournament in a long time..

Peseiro has really turned the team to something else

it was like this going to 2013 Afcon , got worse after we drew capeverde who many people have never seen play football in pretournament friendly

is that seniorman in the third photo?

It seem o but pics not clear

What of Alhassan

I have never watched him play to be honest

yinkeys:

He is different from Ndid but very workaholic that covers a lot of ground running.

Joebie:
Finidi is better these combined.

lol

Marjoribanks:
Na the stvpid NFF asked him to invite 25 oo! He said it in his interview. In actual fact he invited 23, Ekong and Musa were forced on him!

post link to the interview

Marjoribanks:
I saw a video of Ndidi on IG playing snookers just 2 days ago. How is he injured?

weytin be this? 😂😂

Provoker:
Daka has gone to afcon already. iheanacho has been injured since. Ndidi is actually injured

Oh i see

MetalJigsaw:
But he's still better

he’s not

Kog45:
Aliou Cisse say hi...pls enough of this understudy elite managers in Europe before one can takes eagles job.

Aliou Cisse won Afcon and has been Senegal coach since 2015.Ringobert Song took Cameroon to last world cup and Walid Regragui took Morocco to WC semi final.

The issue with us is simple,we worship anything foreign and condemn our own at any given opportunity.

but Pajero is being heavily criticized as it is, every form of treatment a local coach can get these white guys always get the same

If you’ve watched alahasan yusuf in the champions league u will know how good he really is

Kog45:

Onyedika & Frank will have to play 4 then

is that Iheanacho in the 3rd frame?
