I said I never rated JPes Pre-Afcon and for good reasons. But his Afcon performance with his ultra defensive football approach made us a serious powerhouse again.

I said in as much as I am not convinced on his tactical depth but I won't mind having him if we cannot get a better head.

But then Amuneke was meant to be appointed and we failed. We gave it to Finidi. That is where the mistake really happened. Some things need to take place for a real reality check to occur.

Amuneke was gonna be an upgrade to Jpes but naah... we missed it.

Maybe we have to come to reality dt we don’t have d personel to play an effective attacking system style…we. Might av to go peseiro way .we overate dis our players


Meanwhile reduce ur hope of getting the Wc ticket…I don’t c us achieving it except I am ….. 😎

I just feel for Okoye
Man's about to get roasted again

JohnBullMySon:
Okoye matter sef, I don’t know what to call it. Bad luck or what. Anyways Nwabali should do and return. Maybe eh dey flog sense into those defenders pass Okoye.

Ppogbae:
But don't you think this reality check is too late? The benefit that I can see is this lights a fire under the bumper of our guys before March.

Remember the immense fight and resilience that our guys showed during the semi final match with South Africa at AFCON? Where did that go?

Imagine Osimhen missing two world cups?

Dude will turn into Aubameyang

owbabs:
It is a collective attitude problem. Pound for pound are Rwanda player better than the Nigerian players?
Nigeria was in the lead, on the counter decision making was an issue when they had chances to make it 2-0. Players wanted to go for glory in set of a simple cross. Then set pieces, no one in defense even bothers to track the ball.

Forget his heroics in Serie A., Maduka Okoye is not even good enough to be in the squad.

I hope now all the talks of Maduka Okoye will die now

Subzerooo:

This is from a place of uninformed frustrations which I will let slide. You are obviously reactionary like most Nigerians so I understand.

But I am not like you who gets paid to talk nonsense.

I know my football and have been talking it for years long enough to discern good from bad and I know a sound technical head when I see one. We bleeped up with Finidi when Amuneke was there for the taking.

daveP:
Can i really blame him? The 1st goal maybe for now organizing them before that freekick. If what osho did there is what he calls a block, he should join Tanimu and get out of this squad abeg.


Tactically, we need find a deep playing to relieve Iwobi from such.
We also need to start being confident playing through the middle. This wing play is solo to be the mainstream of our attacking threat.

Yusuf actually did better than Frank Onyeka today!

TheSuperNerd:
At the Afcon, Peseiro gave this team a purpose and a system to work with. It was Ultra defensive and saw us utilise a disciplined compact strategy mixed with quick transition counter attacks. We could have been African Champions if we had mixed things up just a little bit by staying on the front foot after we took the lead and not falling back all of a sudden.


In all, I think it is kinda late but also, it is not yet fully over just yet because I don't even know what the future holds in terms of the decisions the NFF will make next regarding the coaching before March comes around. Could they get it right late? Or just further exacerbate the whole situation.

It's bad that we couldn't "read the room" and appoint someone obviously suited for a role at a time like this. Everything was set up to see Amuneke come in. I cited the Walid Regragui situation with Morocco and what made that appointment a success. We had the same circumstance for the Nigerian coaching job but noooooo... Nigerians don't or can't spot good things.

We have made our bed and we just have to try lie on it unless we are ready to remake the bed properly this time.

PDPGuy:
Remember, if CAS overturns CAF’s verdict on the botched Libya v Nigeria match, then we would have to get at least a draw vs Libya in the potentially rescheduled game…

While winning is important and good
AE comfortably qualified with one game to spare
Some days you win some days you lose
Even pep dey 4 games loosing streak
Let's stick to AE if there's no better option
And as for OKOYE... I reserve my comment
