Kwesi Appiah Sudan coach said Nigeria team is not bad but need better coaching but here Chelle should not be blamed... Appiah said he was confident of winning but not by that margin.
Heard he played so many players out of position yesterday.

What's it with him always playing players out of position.

If that Sudan trashing is not a wake up call for the NPFL to be reset and ran differently, we dont have national pride as a people. All we have is boasts and excuses.

Yes he did,Osayi was out gasping,all he needed was to close the line in the few minutes remaining,eagles need that 3 points to close the gap....are you now saying if we are in the same situation in subsequent matches you will be happy seeing our opponents equalizing.....yes he will not enter field but his tactical approach dictate what players does on the field.
Baba refresh your memory on what led to the goal because na red herring stunt be all this. Ekong was caught ball watching. Watch Basco's video and you'd even hear his commentary.

Na this kind analysis de make us go in circles.

When they beat Zimbabwe in Harare, we commended him and praised him. When they won the unity cup and drew with Russia, we commended him. Whenever the performance is below par, every other thing na shalaye, since we commended him for good performance of the team, it's fair to wack him for any below par performance or unexpected results.
In that game, it was obvious Ekong and Osayi were tired, shouldn't the coach have seen that too. Finally at the end of that game. We could actually have lost the whole game. I come in peace.
We could have lost which game? Is it the atrocious miss by Ndidi that I want to call to mind? This game still de internet fgs.

Ekong obviously tired bawo?
Just look at how much the Zim guy had to stretch to move ball from him!

Again, it's not for nothing Osimhen was angry at his teammates and not the coach.

As painful as this game was. A win would have left us in a similar situation as the draw - win all and expect RSA to drop 4 pts or 6pts respectively.
That's 'mission impossible' with a South African team not ready to drop point.

Those first 4 games messed the qualifier up.

We'd still have had a better grip of our destiny though. Yes, those 4 games were criminal.

Players to watch out for in Europe this season

1. Ahmed abdulahi in Sunderland. Has being rated ever since his u17 days in nigeria
2. Umar abubakar in famalicao. Another firmer u17 striker.
3. Ebenezer akinsanmiro. Attacking midfielder from remo stars now in pisa fc in series a.
4. Ehije ukaki of Sheffield. Came straight from the Bulgarian league to the English second division.
5. Vince osuji of club brugge.
6. Hamzat ojediran tough tacling defensive midfielder of rc lens

Ok then, Finidi and Eguavoen too should have been allowed more time too, it's the players fault alone that made us drop points too during their reign.

The quality of the Nigerian league has crashed.
You can also see it in the way the Flying Eagles play: all power play, no brilliance.

I always watch all Nigerian teams play any game at any level, from start to finish. But I stopped watching last night's game at half time. Didn't even bother to check update from anywhere until 2hrs after the game that saw that it ended 4:0.

Any Nigerian team should never be losing 4:0 to a Sudanese team.

At least Tinubu will not be giving away $100,000. Make we keep our money for better things.
Same thing with me.

The last time I watched the CHAN eagles play, it was that final against Morocco where we were whitewashed.

Everybody left the viewing centre for me and a few others. The centre was filled up prior. 😁 😁

At least bring better arguments than all this red herring + bait & switch. We de talk of clear defensive error you're talking of another thing.

We dey talk say coach no close out game, you too dey talk of player error. What proactive steps did the coach take to close out the game? You dey bring garri. Kulikuli and sugar argument.

I just don't want to agree with this sentiment that the quality of the local league has dropped is why we should get pummeled by Sudan of all countries.

No Nigerian team at any level should be losing to Sudan let alone with a 4-0 margin.

The quality of our league has not dropped compared to the 80s and 90s, in fact, there has been significant improvements in terms of infrastructure, players welfare, investments and exposure.

The talent is always there and I believe we should be able to get players from the local league today that can compete favorably at AFCON just like it was In 1990.

This same team easily put Ghana to the sword with a very convincing display so what went wrong?

In retrospect, the change of guard at the very last minute seems I'll advised.
.

Exactly baba. What was Cele coaching input into d team, you can see dat the man was bereft of idea. He is just an average coach I swear.

Well I will blame nff for giving us dis Otondo as coach.

Stage and protest with those NANS jokers and get rid of Chelle if it pains you that much.

And you better make sure your replacement wins the AFCON and takes us to the World Cup whether by hook or by crook because I definitely wouldn't want to want to hear your excuses and sob stories then.

Nonsense.
..

You still believe we are going to world cup!
Seriously Cele no be am but nff impose him on us but what can we do? Nothing.

They are already calling for Chelle's head as if it was a world class squad he coached that underperformed.

Some people are already even writing off the Unity Cup victory all because of the failure of a useless squad that we already know is useless. 😂

We were always going to flunk out of this tournament. It was always only a matter of when. I don't know why some of us are kicking up dust and acting like this loss was an outrage.

We should be thankful they didn't spell Nigeria last night. 🤣🤣🤣
.

By September we will know d debt of knowledge Cele knows on football.

The bigger issue with Nigeria football is maladministration and it permeate every facet of leadership in this country, chikena. If I should have my way all d people who has ever worked in nff office since d turn of dis century would rot in jail, olorun.

Yes, he doesn't have an idea. He prepared them for the tournament, conducted training sessions, even brought some to the senior national team and still doesn't have an idea of how bad the players.

Ok, he is still studying them to determine the extent.
.

Baba he still need more time maybe 10yrs😂. And average coach for dat matter,shior. No be 2014 CHAN keshi came back from 3 goals down to beat Morocco? What change?

Baba d clear defensive error was due to fatigue which d coach would have managed well if he had brought on a defender when Boniface came in. Though a postulation.

Since Enyimba last won the CAF champions league in 2004 which Nigerian club side has even come close? Is it also Chelle's fault since 2004?
That's the point im making exactly. But i am not going to put full blame on the players, hence me putting small on Eric.


I hope those rabble-rousers and old twisting tigers in nff that ALWAYS feel the Super Eagles coach MUST coach the CHAN EAGLES, i hope their eyes don clear. Na the Late Keshi success make them start that nonsense. Mtchew.


Overall, i pray this is not a red flag towards wcq? Nff should be doing all to ensure SA point is deducted o. They never ever have a sense of good prep until kasala burst.

Overall, players both home and foreign messed up our football this season.

I think the points deduction will be done before the qualifiers start. I believe strongly we will qualify.
