What do you guys think ?

Does Siasia deserve forgiveness and his case reviewed by FIFA
After all Sepp Blatter was also found guilty for corruption cases

Siasia has the best cv when it comes to home grown coaches
I understand football has changed compared to 5 years ago

No other coach in Nigeria has a better cv than him
Siasia will be free to coach this year. I dey always see am for National stadium. Very simple man.

Contrary to some of the takes I have seen here, I don't think Osimhen needs to be pulled off, rather, he needs to be partnered up.

There was a pass he gave inside the 18-yard box in that game and nobody was there to receive it, if Kelechi was there, it would have been an easy tap in. Our players lack positioning, the 4th goal EQG scored, was basically from a rebound shot and it was because a player was there to capitalise.

Our team has no such player. I have lost count of how many times I have asked why players are not in positions to poach goals. Their positioning is shit, and people like Chukwueze don't know when to release a pass. Hell, I even saw them dodging a pass. How you go stand, dodge pass? Why will you allow a ball you could have easily kicked into the box, to go into corner?


There is a serious coaching problem with this team and it is clear Peseiros has no idea how to use attackers. You watch how good the attacks are in so many of these AFCON games and it just makes you pissed.

We have not had any decent goal in a tournament filled with spectacular goals. Our play has been lethargic, our attack abysmal and it is 65% a coaching problem.
You just made a case for Osimhen to be used as a winger in Chukwueze's position while Moffi plays main striker knowing fully well Osimhen will know when to attack and be in the box to attack any cross or pass from the other wing which means SE will be indirectly playing with 2 strikers.

Which also means Osimhen will have to drop deep since he is not the main striker thereby reducing his ridiculous offside stats.

SE may be using Osimhen wrongly.

Was there VAR then? Whether Osimhen stood up or not, the VAR referee will still call the referee's attention to that foul.

The same Awoniyi has gone from Bundesliga to EPL since then, and has proven himself after that competition.
As much as I can remember I think VAR was used in the 2021 AFCON.

I hope Peseiro knows that if he benches Osimhen, nobody will die?

I mean, why keep striker who is clearly off form when you have Moffi on the bench?

Ever since Osimhen became our main striker, to score goals became a major problem for us.

In Rohr's era, with all their rubbish football, Ighalo still managed to score whenever we needed him, sometimes creating chances out of nothing sef.

Now we have an APOTY and we can't score Guinea Bissau's second team.

Na still because of Osimhen wey dey go next level though he missed glaring chances.

However, Osimhen contributed to all the goals we scored directly or indirectly. Gbam!

Make him maintain him position for the team.

Nwakali anchors but what about other parts?

Tackling, running, tracking, defending etc. If he add these to his game, he won't be where he is today.

Best player of U17 for that matter.
Players of his skillset aren't runners. They make up their lack of pace with good anticipation and space management.
I feel Nwakali left Arsenal too soon, since he left Arsenal youth loan managers got better with Matersacker and Edu coming onboard.

Are you not satisfied we have moved to the next stage with the help of Osimhen?

Osimhen had hand in all the 3 goals and 7 points we had going forward in this competition.

It's disheartening sometimes my bro. Just 1 accurate long ball from Ekong gave us the goal against EQG.
Another one from Omeruo gave us the goal against GNB. And we say these attributes were not needed in our team. I can count the number of times Osimhen and Simon was free and no one could locate them with a pass. Let me not mention corner kicks cos it's always an eyesore. In all SE is our team and they are still in the tourney. If these players are the best we have in each position, then it's well.

Wow wonderful, If a player who has been a RB for his club is d best for his country and so far the best marksman for a tourney other world class strikers are in, then their is need to ask some questions. Why is his team creating and him scoring with ease and your world class team is playing with 5 defenders against minnows and they still out played you even in your own half of the pitch. Nwakali has nothing to do with the Boko haram football your world class MF's are playing.
nwakali has nothing to do with haram football but he is so good and expensive that clubs can’t even afford him

I think he later dropped deep in this last game, but when he puts in a cross into the opponents 18, no one will be there.

Dominic Solanke in place of Osimhen cracks 6goals in this AFCON group stage. Joshua Zirkzee is probably the most skillful striker in the world currently.
Hope we get atleast one of them onboard. We need a different striker profile to what we've got currently.

Let us throway our pride. Olise will become world class player in the nearest future. It's worth begging to play for us. Eze too is good. Nwakali should prove himself.

Abi no bi the same set em bi with Osimhen and Chuks wey dey claim ladder for dem career?

Awoniyi would have buried most of those chances but we can't rule out Osimhen link up play and positioning. Top notch.

Finishing come hard am this time around but I hope he comes good.
Did you see letter Eto wrote their players?! Foreign borns don't always give their best, and really can't blame them.

They may not understand extent Africans grieve when their teams lose. See what Ivorians did after the match - Destructions everywhere and this will be alien to these foreign borns.

Temmy was once rated and tipped to be world best to extent of him trolling us. Where is he today?! Its not just Nwakali that needs to prove himself, Olise and Eze need to do same. Eze played 90mins against Arsenal yet he couldn't score or assist a goal.

If they are so too good, they will be on payroll of top teams by now, atleast transfer windows still open. Are they better than Nwakali, big no to me. Where is Akpo and Toru now? Una dey wail everyday that they are what we need to be damn solid at back, were'nt they later capped?

They couldn't even make bench.............LMFAO.

Only brought up his name because he’s the best if we look at cv of home bred coaches

To be honest we need to look inwards if we wish to replicate what Keshi did

Foreign coaches are not interested in NPFL guys because it’s not properly run
It’s only from there we’d find hungry players like Sunday Mba, nwabali etc
Africa is hot, we can’t always rely on foreign based players regularly playing in winter
Me no know about him collecting bribe but I know e dey happen weller for national team.

I think they were being wary and very cautious of our attacking threat.

Although this has not been materializing but you can't have an attack comprising of fast and deadly players like Osimhen, Lookman, simon, Chuks, Iwobi and others ( in fact the whole of our attack)

We have the deadliest fronline in the AFCON on paper so they've got to be wary.
