Unrelated tho... Iwobi no know say one-day e go siddon for bench 90 minutes... Baba shock💔😂😂
Team selection is a big headache to any coach especially with varied options, that was so brave from the coach, never expected it. Very soon na so Ndidi go sit down for bench, like Nacho Dey chop bench now.

Jose Peseiro did something good for us.

He made us realize that a 5-man defence (3 centre backs and 2 wing backs) and 3-5-2 / 3-4-3 is the best formations suited to our players and the team.

This formation puts more bodies in defense giving the team defensive solidity. Also, it gives us width on the flanks with the wingbacks allowing them to bomb forward and tuck into the midfield when necessary.

I doubt Eguavoen would have played this formation if not for the last AFCON where Peseiro deployed it so effectively cos in his previous stints as coach of the Super Eagles, he never played that way. In addition, his "tactical analysis" before AFCON 2022 and the Nigeria-Ghana WCQ match formations showed he was stuck on 4-4-2/4-3-3

This time around, Eguavoen has shown adaptability and a fast learning curve with his tactical decisions. I also like that he's eloquent, and instills confidence and belief in the team. In addition, his player invitations are fair and unlike his predecessor, he doesn't do the silly home-based quota thing.

My only gripe with AE is his susceptibility to influence fron football journalists and analysts, and sometimes poor in-match management but so far, so good.

With the benefit of hindsight, appointing Finidi George was an error. ...one that may ultimately cost us the World cup ticket. I still cannot fathom why he ditched the system that got the team to the AFCON final. undecided

Perhaps, if Eguavoen had been appointed to tinker the team after the AFCON, we wouldn't be in this precarious situation in the WCQ.

Eguavoen should be allowed to take charge of the AFCON and WC qualifiers, and if he does well, he should be appointed as the substantive coach with a long term contract.

unfortunately i didn't watch the match , i was in transit . but the highlights i just watched shown that Rwanda played negative football .... just shooting aimlessly and their goal keeper made some good saves ... maybe my opinion would have been different if i had seen the match ... how does throw- in become an off side? african referees need to learn .

💯 Very apt that’s why I can never agree with those who accused the team of haram football during Afcon. That system is what has brought out the best out of Lookman who has turned suddenly world class in just months.

Too bad for Finidi who was the assistant coach in Afcon but looking for apology all over the place now. He’s the architect of his misfortune and misadventure.

The thought we had Uzoho in our goal post.

.....Naija and fake news sha. AE was never appointed as Caretaker Coach in the first instance. He was asked to oversee both games as NFF Technical Director cos we couldn't get a Coach before the games.

So if indeed AE quits the job, I guess both Assistants quit as well?! He has completed the Assignments along with the Assistants, next is for NFF Board to decide whether they should continue or not.

PRs Guys and Influencers are simply at work here cos how can you quit a job you never officially assigned?!

AE will resume perhaps on Monday at Glass House to submit reports for the 2 games and continuing his job as Technical Director. The Assistants will return to their respective Clubs, Enugu Rangers and Remo Stars.

AE assignment was to take them to play the African qualifier , he is not the coach yet , he is the technical director of the NFF , he will be call upon again to clean the mess smiley


smart move by the NFF .. THEY NO WANT HIRE COACH , THEY WANT DEY TAP HIM BRAIN . if i were to be AE , I will remain in that my T.D post just dey do some clean up . till they are ready to appoint a foreign coach or give him a proper contract ... with the clause to return as the technical director when the contract ends .

If I were Eguaveon, I'll stick to my TD job and refuse to be called upon as interim to do quick fix jobs.. the NFF will have to negotiate contract terms that are favorable to him if they want him as permanent coach or go look for a full time coach elsewhere. The power of negotiation is now in Eguaveon's hands, his stint was a very encouraging one.

the problem is after that Benin game, we started seeing interviews and highlights up and down as if we had won a cup already. We still have a long road. The team can get better but let’s not be celebrating like we have arrived.
if we don’t celebrate a victory when should we celebrate?

Komekn for once I agree with you. Our national team needs ighalos finishing. We are creating too many chances but loosing it. We need ihmghalos experience in front of goal to convert our chances. He may not be the strongest, fastest, most skillfully etc but he is the best finisher. We keep creating more chances than our opponents

No dear, we are where we were due to nff incompetence. Look at the way we took Benin out, look at the way we played Rwanda, intrinsically analyze the team unity in these 2 matches and I surreptitiously put it to you, do you think Benin would have beaten us in Abidjan or played draw with SA if the same spirit has been there?

But nff destroy our WCQ.
