zicky:
the current SE are not showing that hunger and zeal to go to the world cup, safe for few. But I won't blame them cos it's a general problem. Nigerians patriotism spirit is dying.

TheGoodJoe:

Thank you for the shout-out and I think it deserves a response.

Yesterday was one of my saddest day as a football fan because what I watched is play yesterday goes against my philosophy and belief of the game.

We are suffering because of the lean squad we have but I don't think that should stop us from playing.

Pep Guardiola should open up the academy and let the players there beef the squad.

I support Barcelona a lot because of the belief that they will never resort to negative football. Guardiola stems from it. So seeing that, no matter the excuse does not go well with me. I hope it never repeats itself.

I prefer to lose playing football the right way than win playing football the wrong way. This is due to the belief that in the long run, fortune favors the brave.

Typical Naija reaction

These guys are not loyal. Why be say dem go come national team begin play rubbish but return to their clubs begin bang goals?


The Reality:

[b]This is like putting a straw in an anthill and sucking it thinking water will come through. Our set up is terrible for attacking flair. We don't even prioritize player's strengths. We only sabi invite. A case study is Onyedika that was on the bench and Ndidi played all through. Man know man approach is not factored in.

Iwobi is our best attacking midfield outlet. But since Rohr, he's been struggling but he still ensures nobody contributes to attack than him till date. Despite that struggling tag on him. Since he arrived Fulham, they've never ever deployed him the way he plays at Fulham. one would think his performance vs Man U would help but they still play him deep and expect him to shine like his uncle JJ. Dessers was thrown under the bus by the Media officer of NFF just out of spite and lack of understanding of the setup of this team. Most of them only sabi 442 of old. Nothing more. Ask them to explain Gengenpressing or Joga Bonita now and they'll stammer. I doubt they watch Dessers at his club for understanding how he plays. This is one player that banging goals is no problem for him. But it changes every time it is GWG. I know not everyone will fit in and all that but until they begin to prioritize player's strengths over myopic nostalgia, we'll continue to struggle. Merino struggles for Arsenal but shines for spain. Two different approach. System player if you like. He shines for arsenal when deployed how he's deployed in Spain. Westerhof understood all of this.[/b]

Baba, you go explain tire, you want a coach to go and lose all 3 points on top of one yeye philosophy. abeg park one side. Pep has been figured out, just like MOU was, with his own kind of haram game, and now Oga Pep needs whatever he can to remain afloat. The game is the game, and it was fun seeing Man City go all the way to ensure parity. If they try that your philosophy dem for chop better goals yesterday and you want them to deplete their goal difference because of what? This is a league and not a tournament. Even Barca has re-modified their approach!

solonnachi:
I wont blame them sir. When they break leg playing for the national team, does NFF take care of them? No be their clubs dey bear the cost?

daveP:
I'm not even trying to blame them. The loyalty guage on the team is ALWAYS killed by the same guys that always refer to 90s set. These guys were all damn loyal and passionate just last year at Wafcon. We saw even a different Moses Simon. But they ruined it all with their decisions and expect that won't affect the players now that they have a coach that's bringing a new approach tactically? Why won't it be low morale? See the issues with bonuses as well.


How did they go from Afcon finalist to this tepid stale momentum if not leadership issues. It's so obvious that many don't even dare blame Chelle.

Goke7:
But it was agreed here that we played rubbish in the AFCON, or were we that good? cos if I remember very well, that's why we chased Paseiro away, that our players were too good and world-class to be playing haram football. We need to put things in proper perspective, cos am one of those who still feel we ruined it all with the poor management of the Afcon success. Some tactics worked well for us that we just needed to build upon, but hey, we threw everything away in arrogance.

Blame goes to:
NFF
The mathematician and 94set

The were the ones that said it's not our style and that we have world class players that any coach can succeed with. And that our Nigerian coaches can do it better. Once any coach succeed, they will come out to say it's because we have array of stars at our disposal. They did it to Keshi after AFCON, Rhor at his prime and Peseiro after AFCON.
During time of struggle they will enter their shell only to resurface after a breakthrough.

TheGoodJoe:
You guys just keep recycling the same talk. The same Pep Guardiola that was supporting authors create books on his system, creating seminars, even went as far as supporting a documentary that gave a deep insight into his system is trying to stay afloat.

The point is simple, we are rebuilding the team. So it will take some time to settle. With just Gvardiol and Khusanov, two fast defenders, we started dominating. Khusanov's injury yesterday took away the gross defensive pace. As soon as we fully fix our rebuild, we will start dominating.

Even though I believe the building is slow because Guardiola might be soon leaving. There is nothing like park well.

Goke7:
before pep's system was football not in existence? so must we die with pep system forever? again park well sir!

Philosopher1979:
Anyway i wonder how a midfield of Daniel Daga and Frank Onyeka will be with an attacking midfielder in front of them (iwobi, akinsanmiro). It will be like the great wall of China.
Two workaholics nothing can go through and will be able to shut down anything and arrest any opposing midfield. The AM in front of them can then be free to attend to attacking duties. Daniel Daga can also contribute in attack sometimes.
