His stats for Mali specifically is average considering the opposition if we are to look at the results.

Outside Mali, his stars are poor

Joebie:
the truth is we've had games we outplayed our opponents or even had decent goals ruled out and we did not get the maximum points.. I think in football there is time to play conservative and play all attack especially when you know your opponents are better as in these two cases (according to you)

I'm saying this coach needs to learn when to switch up play and be conservative. I think that's pretty a basic thing though i'm not a coach.
if you are going to be all out attack all the time, you will be met with situations like these.

BankyGee:
The Super Eagles he beat, South Africa, Burkina Faso, Saudi Arabia are not good oppositions?

If you want to see his real attacking football display, just go watch the Saudi game, even with like 2 big chances missed, crossbar hit and great goalkeeper saves, he still won 1–3... That match for end like 6 in favour of Mali, dey play.

With the Super Eagles squad and proper mentality and attitude from the boys, no worry yourself, you go come deny say you talk all these things.

this is just a replica of what happened at the afcon vs CIV, Mali played direct and full attacking football…same last minute defensive error cost them again in this game…mali played Ghana hands down…as expected you don’t expect Ghana to be having all round bad games back to back na…this was after their poor afcon outing i gues…Ghana and CIV is bigger than mali in football, but mali played them clean clean

bisqit:
did you recall celestine babayaro and kanu’s celebration at Atlanta 96?

The same mistake he made against CIV at AFCON, late minute goals. I hope he had learnt from them. We can now see how unlucky he was with the 3 matches he lost out of 22 while coaching Mali...late minute goals..anyway, Nwabali will help out, na time waster...(just kidding).

TheGoodJoe:

I am actually expecting nothing less than an explosive Super Eagles under Chelle. Our players need to buy into his philosophy and embrace him.

If they soak in his knowledge of the game, I see the Super Eagles flying high and becoming one of the most fierce national sides in the game.

TheGoodJoe:

I actually don't believe in time to play conservative and time to attack. I believe in a well setup formation and an identity the team must keep mastering.

At the end, after a long run, you will see good results.

Unfortunately, most FAs are impatient and want immediate success. Which leads to poor team management and growth.

forgiveness:
This has to do with the quality of player and not tactical play.

Are you expecting Nigerian players to make this same error the Malin defenders did?

Napoleon55:
I think he was trying to say they are some times not all the times,for instance when you are leading a stronger opposition by one goal.
in that case,It would be wiser to play more cautious than going all out

You don’t know what you have until you lose it. That’s life. There are folks here controversial or not that spice up this thread including the eminent Quintessential. Everyone including you brings something special to the table irrespective of their views and opinions.

if it was before na to jump pass 😂 😂. Thank God for divine health.

Not until he mentions tiki taka,I will see whether you go still concentrate to absorb without objections.

Butt it's really good to have TheGoodJoe back.

TheGoodJoe:
Not true at all. By the next year, Ronaldo was crowned the world best player and Roberto Carlos was number 2.

Crespo, Lopez, Zanetti were regular in big clubs.

Two years later some of the Atlanta players were stars of the France 98 World Cup. You can't call the Olympics few notches from U-17. Especially , Atlanta and Sidney 2000.

Joebie:
Over our next two games, I am expecting nothing more than 4 points.

bisqit:
You people should forget about the WC. Its mission impossible. Highest we will get is second runner up because the damage had already been done

elyte89:
I won’t give up until after march games …I believe if osimhen is fit and we are able to win Rwanda 🇷🇼 away and Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 at home while oda top teams cancel each other ..our World Cup dream will be alive


Remember osimhen hasn’t. Played any World Cup qualifiers yet hence part of d reasons we struggle for goals to win matches .he will be a big determinant in our qualification quest .
