In 1996, despite the presence of more senior and experienced players in the squad, Kanu kept the armband.
thank you for making your presence known here.

We need the likes of you on this thread lest it get overrun by sentimental beings.

You contradict yourself presenting two different conflicting rational for inferences to be made.

In your first post on the subject you implied expressly that the video analyst will present the substantiated objective evidence. That implies it is not subject to debate. It is proven.

Now you are saying the coach will assess the video analyst's deductions.

I simply said it doesn't matter what you can prove statistically and with video analysis. All that stuff goes in the bin, because his personal opinion can over ride it all, which has happened several times.

If we were going by statistics and video analysis barely 50% of those players would have been invited to the SE.

It's like consulting a specialist consultant whatever the specialism and then going back to assess his conclusions. If you had the knowledge to make that assessment why hire a specialist, it is ludicrous. No vex, eéeeeeee get as e be.
You hire a specialist for his expert opinion not final decision. The specialist decision is not final.

How will you say I said the analyst opinion is not subject to debate when I clearly stated the bolded?


the coach has to look in to see if the analytical study is right.

I clearly stated that. You quoted it and said I implied another thing. The analyst decision can not be final. Just like a head coach and technical assistant. Bonfere Jo could suggest. It was up to Westerhof to adopt his plan, modify it or reject it.

The Specialist does a lot of work in trimming down the work. Also, you do not know their criteria to ascertain if the current players did not meet the requirements of the National team manager.

Comoarin Mikel's U23 feature to Osaze in our World Cup team is pure folly on your part, but I guess that is something you're used to.

You went further to mention Drogba and Gyan, please, did they have long spells away from the team as much as Osaze?


Can you name five players in this current team that played with Osaze? Or you think they can just drop in any player at any time and he will blend? You even want to call him against Cameroon, oh the ridiculousness!

I'm sure you saw what adding random players did to the team against SA, there is such a thing as team cohesion, if it is disrupted, you can't just switch formation.

Osaze cannot join this team, not now and not next year, maybe in 2019, if we are rebuilding, we can mention him. Then again, by that time, we will be retiring some older players. He has enjoyed his time in 2014, if you have new names, fine, if not, save your arguments for 2019
challenge accepted .
1) Mikel
2) Onazi
3) Omeruo
4) Echejile
5) Victor Moses
Also let me throw in Ahmed Musa for emphasis, you are exposing your shallow knowledge but then again that's what you do all the time.

Drogba on his part even retired from the national team before he came back and yet they accepted him back

for the record I never said Osaze is going to the world cup after sitting at home during the qualifiers, maybe you should try to ' read to understand' instead of just jumping in because you hate a certain player.

how many random players were added in the match against SA? just one actually, So you now want to blame the addition of random players for our pitiful performance? absolutely ridiculous to say the least, So after almost a month of camping the coach was still unable to blend in the random players and you don't want to blame the coach?

Wonderful news!

I believe he's a 20+-goal-a-season striker.

Meet up with his new team in pre-season to erase our fitness concerns for the Cameroon game.

give just two reasons why SA won without trying to take away credits from them
and two reasons why we lost without giving excuses..

The point is, that team was assembled quickly, and a new coach had just been appointed. Would you agree that they had more negatives than we did.


However, I appreciate your saying it as it is in some aspects.

Here is a list of our starting line up. Forget about the players missing. Is our list not more intimidating than theirs.

Daniel Akpeyi (GK) -- decent keeper
Shehu Abdullahi -- RIO olympics regular
Elderson Echiejile -- over a decade of international experience
William Troost-Ekong -- RIO olympics regular
Chidozie Awaziem -- the only newbie
Oghenekaro Etebo -- RIO olympics regular
Ogenyi Onazi -- lots of international experience
Wilfred Ndidi -- his european stats is intimidating
Moses Simon -- arguably our best player on the pitch on that sad day
Alex Iwobi -- current CAF most promising player/regular starter for ARSENAL
Kelechi Iheanacho -- current CAF youth player of the year/with an intimidating goals to ratio stats

9jaStar:
First, you're missing my point. Which is, that the majority of our team were youngsters who needed the guidance and leadership of more experienced players on the field.

I can point to specific instances where those deficiencies showed. By comparison, you look at the South Africa team, and they had players with bags of international experience, including some of the so-called home-based players like Dean Furman, Erick Mathoho,etc who have played in Europe and then returned home.

And our coach not only made mistakes, he blundered.

Secondly, irrespective of what Baxter said, his players were outplayed for most of the first half. If we had taken the chances that fell our way before they got back in the game, it would have been a different story.

But hey, they won the game, and fair play to them they won it fair and square.

When you have been beaten black and blue by the same team for 25 years and counting, you are due one good result. They got one. It is not he end of the world. And our coach, I hope, has learnt from his mistakes

And your knowledge is so deep, that is why you aren't a coach? undecided

Nigga, keep your arm-chair analysis to yourself and stop screaming down this thread. All your ranting can't invite Odemwingie even if he scores 30 goals in Indonesia.

Even Fanendo Adi is in a better position to get an invite than Odemwingie.

PS: CIV is not Nigeria and Osaze may be many things, but he's no Drogba

Let me add. Paralyzed = outplayed and overwhelmed
grin grin grin

9jaStar:
Paralyzed? No.
We lacked experience and leadership.
This is a team in transition, and under those circumstances, there is a need for guidance and direction on the pitch. We were missing Ikeme (first choice GK), Leon Balogun (regular centreback), Mikel (captain and leader), Victor Moses (key attacking player).

Then the coach decided to start a rookie (Awaziem) ahead of Omeruo's experience, claiming some weird psychological holdover from the last game; and Ahmed Must, citing muslim fast.

And so we had a team that had just two players with any real extended international experience (Echeijile and Onazi). And even Onazi is still basically a newbie if you consider our past teams.

Did our team get overwhelmed and outplayed by SA? Yes. The reason is simple.

But I'm confident that with the addition of just two or 3 of those missing players, we will take out South Africa in the return leg. Mark my words

Simple, just say it plain and direct, you do not like Osaze and you don't want him in the Super Eagles. Don't come up with baseless reasons why he shouldn't be invited.

Please can we put forward our points with no insults please. I also saw someone advocating for osazie into this squadhuh Haba na, can't we forge ahead. He has paid his dues and his generation is on the move. Let's build and laugh later than keep recycling over and over again. Our creative midfield is really lacking I would think we would have focused more on that.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Joebie: 6:31pm On Aug 01, 2017
In this country of 1001 opinions how could you be shocked? If Osaze is called and he gets the nod to start, then that means his 13 goals in the Indonesian league is not a fluke. There is no cause for alarm. Like I said earlier our talk here is barely noticed by those in the helm of affairs. Free speech is permitted.

I like to argue points. If anybody calls for Yak to be recalled. I will ask for his recent stats. Then that will form the basis of our discussion.

For me, as regards Osaze. Do I think he is finished, No? Do I think he can still perform at a high level for SE as he did in the past. No!

modified.
I think we have a solid midfield based on the personnel at our disposal. But we have to analyze from match to match and suggest who may be best suited for each opponent without interrupting consistency too much.

Tactics-wise, let's talk about Cameroon, and how it will be best to approach the game.

I think NFF/NPFL should organize a seminar in conjunction with football clubs and Academys to sensitize players as regards the legal aspects of the game, implications of signing agreements.This can also be incorporated into training curriculum too.
this will go a long way to prevent these sought of Mikel/iheanacho signing for different parties wahala
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Joebie: 6:57pm On Aug 01, 2017
I categorically said I would like an Emenike-Iheanacho partnership, and you guys were calling for my head. Emenike brings speed, physicality and also good assists -- remember 2014 world cup. He also brings international experience.

This suggestion is particularly for the Cameroon encounter. Because for me Iheanacho is the untouchable as support striker.

Who else would you rather pair with Iheanacho? Kayode, Bonaventure, Osihmen, Ighalo? mention and state your reasons with stats like I did.. That's how to have healthy discussion.

It's a discussion. No need to call people names please
