Hilarious comment. Does PEP coach the female team?

TheGoodJoe:
Toying with future of our football is allowing negativity rule us for so long.

We need to roll our sleeves and start working. All that negative football has made it difficult for us to even know good players.

See how Peseiro kept Onyedika on the bench the whole Afcon and played Iwobi off position and he looked a shadow of himself.

When we are ready for tactical and sound man management techniques and player development, and intelligent scouting and grooming methods, we will grow and get serious with our football.

Oga rest. Even Guardiola wouldn't be able to replicate his tiki-taka suffocating possession playing style with the Super Eagles.

You know why?

1. Our players don't have it in their DNA.

2. Our players are bang average with the exception of maybe 1 or 2.

3,. Our players don't have the stamina and the work ethic to impose that kind of suffocating pressure on their opponents.

4. That kind of style requires months/years of continuous training to master, time which is not available in national team football.

You need to be realistic and pragmatic, and stop building castles in the sky with this your fantasy of tiki-taka possession based football.

Goke7:
And for attacking football pundits here, I have a word for you, playing within Africa requires you to go for the grind when it matters most, if we qualify for the World Cup then you can experiment with all those Guardiola formations when you play with other teams from other continents but within this Africa, you have to play dirty to get your way through. During the Afcon final, the Ivorians kicked our players almost through the first half, when they realized our players were tired according to their coach then they started slicing through our team with their sexy football. Even in the afcon semi final, the Southies always went for the injured stomach of osihmen when he was in flight to weaken him and even Ekong had to take a card for the team to break the counter of the Southies in one instance.

During friendlies, we can experiment with formation or no formation according to our coach but in competitive matches, you have to go for the win or result in whatever circumstances. We need ruthlessness, packing the bus, jam bodi or whatever. A win is a win and that's what matters most. Is it not a shame that foreign coaches understand this better than our local coaches? Enough said.

Blue font, shey you don hear?

Sack Finidi. Sack Finidi. Sack Finidi.

I am of the same ethnic stock as Finidi but I cannot in all honesty advocate for him to continue in the helms as Super Eagles coach.

It cannot get worse. The knife has been shoved deeper and twisted in our heart and we'll eventually bleed to death. WE CANNOT QUALIFY. That:s the realistic diagnosis. .

We lose nothing from sacking Funidi.

Sacking Finidi is bye to football without formation and tactics.

Sacking Finidi is bye to poor defensive setup.

Sacking Finidi is bye to unmerited call-ups.

Sacking Finidi is bye to questionable player invitations.

Sacking Finidi is bye to home-based quota.

Sacking Finidi is bye to susceptibility to NPFL journalists and their envelope-induced hyping of home-based players.

NFF should do fast and sack him.

Pooja still posted that sodiq was decent in yesterday game.

Seriously, this NPFL journalists are on the take.

No one mentioned Ndidi was woeful yesterday

Either the NPFL journalist who hyped Sodiq never saw him play or dem dey collect brown envelope.

That guy is atrocious. The worst footballer I've seen in our jersey since Ike ThankGod and Furo Iyenemi.

Terem Moffi is rubbish. Onuachu better pass am anytime any day.

Finidi brought this upon himself

Olisa Ndah and Igor Ogbu dey there, you leave them go invite Ihefu FC and Sodiq?

Our NPFL journalist are paid to hype nonsense. How are Tiaminu and Sodiq professional footballers?

Tiaminu still get small ball sense but Sodiq is terrible.

Has Finidi turned in his resignation letter? That's the honourable thing to do

Odunayaw:
Who should he have played instead? Una no fit rest?

Shebi the Terem Moffi delivered bah

Terem Moffi?

This confirms to me that Finidi does not have a mind of his own. He is very susceptible to media influence and online football analysts

My own be say make him deliver the 3 points.

M7even:
Onuachu should start in the next match. It's not like he missed any clear chance. The half chance he headed to the hands of the SA goalkeeper. He was OK. Except the midfielders who came in to influence the game , I didn't see Moffi do much better.

I agree. Onuachu was decent yesterday. He hustled, chased down balls and was a long ball outlet for us, winning fouls in the process.

I dare say for the first time. I was impressed by his athleticism and workrate. Still, he has been mostly unconvincing in the green-white-green.

If Finidi needs a Jan Koller-esque type of striker, why did he not invite Elijah Adebayo of Luton Town or Tolu Arokodare of Genk?

As for Terem Moffi, I do not rate him. I actually think Akor Adams is a superior striker and all round better player.

Finidi has not inspired confidence with his team invitation. Olisa Ndah who is arguably the best central defender in the PSL should have been invited. Ditto Igho Ogbu. Both are good ball playing defenders and ought to be in the mix.

I still dey take one eye look Finidi.

Igoh Ogbu

Olisa Ndah

If both had been invited, he wouldn't have had to play make shift central defenders

TheSuperNerd:
Olowoporoku was only 14 then. He is still within the age bracket. Let us hope he is on that Manu Garba list of 51 talents invited to kick off the U17 camp this week.

Why is the Manu Garba's list of 51 invited players to the Golden Eagles camp shrouded in secrecy?

TheGoodJoe:

Let us hope it happens. I can't wait to rub my hands in excitement and we press the necks of our opponents like Piano.

Terrible decision.......if true.

He cannot and won't get the team to play the type of attacking football that you desire cos we lack the personnel.

I also see him making questionable calls and decisions especially with regards to player invitations and squad selection.

If we had to go local, I'll have taken a chance on Michael Nsien the US U-20 coach. He seems to have better knowledge and grasp of modern tactics.

Amuneke is not that man but I'll be happy and glad to be proven wrong.

Nigeria first

TheSuperNerd:
Ghanaian fans seeing Boniface pull off Kudus' celebration in front of Kudus against Kudus' West Ham...

Boniface na werey and cruise master. Apart from being a player, he's also a fan of the game and follows it keenly.

See the way he bantered Onyedika when he scored those two goals and now he's mocking Kudus.

mostob:
Clowns? Randy is the clown here please. Udoh is right. Randy is one of the most protected SF coach.
Let's be factual here please, is there anything tangible that Randy has added to this team? Remove the individual brilliance of Nnadozie and the little luck here and there and imagine where we would be by now.

Let's free these journalists please. Nothing exceptional about RW abeg. Moreso, as a player or coach, it is expected to receive criticism. You need to develop tough skin. Why the blocking spree?

Colin Udoh criticized Randy Waldrum during the WAFCON........rightfully so if I may add, and was pushing for his sack after the tournament while lowkey lobbying for his wife Mercy Akide to be appointed as coach.

Still, Randy Waldrum is immature and unprofessional for blocking the sports journalists.

The most impactful change that Randy Waldrum made that turned around the fortunes of the Super Falcons was dropping Rita Chikwelu from the team.

That lady was an eyesore and impacted our game so negatively and cost the team a lot.

The Saudi League must be a very low quality league cos I can't fathom how that lady was signed by a club and is still making appearances.

Make Ashleigh Plumptre do commot for that league.

Odunayaw:
I wasn't pleased that they played tension football yesterday. It was like the idea was to kick the ball away from their half. Even the structure of the team was disjointed, players lingering in positions that is unexplainable to the football eye.

Anyway I hope they come to the party like they did at the WC

The goal was to obtain the ticket.....and this they achieved. Every other thing was secondary.

There'll be time to finetune tactics and improve gameplay ahead of the Olympics.

Randy Waldrum and the girls have done well and I know they'll raise their game and play better football at the olympics.

Yesss!

Super Falcons of Nigeria QUALIFIED

SA not playing like anything is at stake.

Kudos to the Super Falcons.

komekn:
There is absolutely nothing great about that goal a goal yes but great No. You are over gassing it.

The number 4 for Monza is an absolute joke, he stands like his watching traffic he doesn't even jump for th ball or even try to defend and or intercept the cross.

It's shocking abysmal defending it caused VO to almost injure himself as he anticipated a challenge but there was none whatsoever.

Good goal 🥅 for VO but shambolic defending by Monza.

This is pure witchcraft and sorcery. Gosh!

I suggest you visit Km 12 Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Ibafo, Ogun state for deliverance

Keep the discussion on football.

If this thread is derailed further and spirals down the path of ethnicity, I will sanction those involved heavily.

BascoVanVeli:
I pray Finidi gives Olisa Ndah a chance. He sef needs to leave SA ASAP

Olisa Ndah, Igoh Ogbu, Gabriel Osho

Mujtahida:
Apologies for derailing the thread. I was doing catch up and couldn't resist the urge to say one or two things. I don quiet now. Cheers my people

Apology accepted but I'm also doing catch-up so you and all those who still posted off-topic and derailed the thread after my warning post will be sanctioned.

Cheers.

Enough of the off-topic political discuss and derailing of the thread.

Keep the discussion on football.

Henceforth, anyone who drops any off-topic post will be sanctioned severely.

Joebie:
I no expect am to hot like this o for here.

World Cup na the koKo. We have won AFCON before. let’s do something we never done before. We don’t have to have bragging rights against other African nations. let’s just make some football progress. Can we get to the QF, SF, finals, or maybe win the WC? Let’s look ahead.

I'll rather win AFCON than get to the world cup semi finals

Wahala. Nervousness wan kill me

Bench Osimhen?

Thankfully, Jose Peseiro knows better and wouldn't dare it.

A win is a win.

Congrats to the Super Eagles and Nigerians
