Guinea Bissau don dey gain confidence o. They're pegging us back now

Sadiq has played himself out of the Super Eagles

Guinea Bissau is good.... damn good!

The only thing Nwakali brings to the table is passing.

Workrate, marking, interception, closing space etc na Zero.

Colins dey eff up for that left back.....

Sadiq o

Ndidi is the only one battling in midfield.

Omanambala:
Think in this direction; if your midfield couldn't click with "world class" Aribo against lowly rated Sudan what will happen when you battle teams with excellent midfield play , and you are losing those dangerous possession ?...dem go just tear your defense!

You will say anything to support Nwakali. Na wa o.

Abeg make dem take araldite gum Sadiq and Nwakali to the bench for the rest of this competition. I have seen enough and come to the conclusion they're farmers and a waste of space in the squad.

Terem Moffi/Cyriel Dessers deserve to be in the squad ahead of Sadiq.

Akinkumi Amoo/Alhassan Yusuf deserve to be in the squad ahead of Nwakali.

Better analysts dey this thread. I doff hat for all of una.

Impressive 45 minutes from the Eagles.

With the way the boys are balling it's like Rhor sabotaged us for the last 2 years.

You talked and I listened. The needful has been done for the awards thread.

It's on the homepage.

Before the day is over, I just want to say Thunder from Sango and Amadioha should fire that oponu shameless agbaya Ighalo

If he had just respected his old self and rejected the invitation, stayed retired, we would have had space to invite a proper striker. He could have even told us since that he would not be able to make it, yet, the best he could do was throw a silly tantrum at his club when they wouldn't release him. Shebi they could have replaced him since that time when we replaced Dennis, Osimhen and Balogun?

Thunder will also fire Gernot Rohr, because if that German vulcanizer had added Dessers name to the 40-man list, we would have had a ready replacement a long time ago.

But most of all, Thunder will Specifically Fire Odion Jude Ighalo for wasting space.

Succinctly put.

I was so annoyed by I berated him on his IG page when he made that "we plan but God decides post"

JohnBullMySon:
Turns out Ighalo is trying to convince his club to play at AFCON. He needs it to secure a move. Also, a new player has been contacted but not yet disclosed. NFF will have to pay a fine to replace him with Ighalo. Fingers are still crossed and Eguavoen is giving Ighalo time to persuade his club.

Let's see how this turns out.

Abegii!


Ighalo should getat....

He knew about the clause in his contract yet came out of international retirement to do what exactly? Like say Super Eagles na him birthright. Very selfish mudaf**cker.

Whether the player to replace Ighalo is Cyriel Dessers or Terrem Moffi, NFF should go ahead and pay the fine cos both are upgrades on Ighalo and worth having in the team. (I prefer Dessers sha)

Also, this players late replacement issues has shown Eguavoen as an indecisive and un-assertive coach who is not able to make the hard decisions.

The minute this Ighalo's issue came up, Eguavoen should have replaced him immediately. What nonsense is waiting for Ighalo to convince his club?

Shioor......

How is eguavoen shady ?

People wey like this comment self follow no get sense

Andrew, be calming down biko.

Perhaps shady was not the right word to use to convey my opinion.

What I mean is that the release of the 40-man provisional list has impugned Eguavoen's character and shows he has integrity issues.

Before now, we were made to understand that the 40-man list was sacrosant and bar injury to a player on the list, the final 28 man squad would be drawn from the provisional list.

Paul Onuachu was injured and replaced with Kelechi Nwakali. I'm not a fan of Nwakali but I can understand his inclusion under that circumstance

How did Olisah Ndah who was not in the provisional list make the final list?

My Oga at the top where have you been boss?? Chai I remember the days that we used to argue back and forth. Anyway, compliments of the season and cheers to a prosperous new year

Bruh, body dey inside cloth o.

Those days man be bachelor so enough time for Nairaland.

With a wife and two kids now, no time to dey argue "back and forth" again.

The release of the 40 - man provisional list submitted by Rohr to CAF has exposed Eguavoen to be "shady" .

Also, I question his decision making and I feel like Rohr we'll be shocked & disappointed with his team selection.

Personally, I am glad he won't be in charge after the AFCON.

Nice analysis by Eguavoen.

Seems like an upgrade on Rohr in terms of player knowledge, tactical formation & game play.

However, he seems to be stuck on 4-4-2 formation and the finidi/ammunuke-esque wing system which is outdated and has almost been phased out for inverted wingers.

Anyway, football is played on the pitch and not on tactical boards so I'll reserve my opinion until the AFCON.

TheGoodJoe:
Keep it simple - The Philosophy of Xavi in a nutshell.

"I think he follows the same philosophy as Guardiola," Al Sadd's Guilherme Torres told ESPN. "Having possession and enjoying the game, but not just having possession. Sometimes you see teams with 80% possession, but only one shot on goal.

"[Xavi] likes to be aggressive, fight for the ball, play in the opponent's half and play with intelligence. He likes it when players are happy on the pitch -- I think the same way he was [as a player]. He likes to put a lot of pressure on opponents in their half. That's how he understands football."

---

I am seeing people throwing names from Moldovia to Uzbekistan. Some names I can't pronounce as choice candidate to coach Super Eagles.

Look at the above philosophy. That is exactly the way I believe we will excel as a team.

We need a coach who understands and can put that template to work. So all these names can't guarantee that

Amunike understands and has played the template. That makes him best to do it.

Also we need to keep in mind that we need thorough scouting home and abroad to find gems that will improve the team.

Amunike has the history of spotting fantastic talents and this is another reason why he should get the job.

If your Kazakhstan and Estonia coaches can not fit in the above, it is a waste of time and money signing them.

As per local options, I prefer Amuneke

But

This same Amuneke you are canvassing for and promoting could not translate this playing philosophy and template to our U-20 and the Tanzania National team.

I am not sold on Amuneke

I prefer we hire someone with football coaching experience in Africa.

My picks are in this order

1. Pitso Mosimane - He's South African and the current manager of Al Ahly of Egypt and may be unavailable but I'll make an approach for him if I were at the helms of affairs in the NFF.

I've long admired him and the way he sets up his team to play.


2. Nicolas Dupuis - Coach of Madagascar at the 2019 AFCON.

Samueltemi337:
This is the formation I want to see Rohr use

No Troost-Ekong please. The guy is up there with the late Romanus Orjinta as the worst defender to dorn the green-white-green.

Chidozie Awaziem for Troost-Ekong

Grant Xender and co new permissions, like permission to modify system settings and see.

Did that before now. Not working

Jemerson:
Anything china rom, you have to reinstall google play services and update all apps

I've installed different versions of google play services still no luck.

Installed the most recent apks of xender and shateIT and still unable to transfer files.

I updated my Xiaomi Mi Max 3 on Android 10 China ROM via OTA to MIUI 12.5.1.0 Stable QEDCNXM and since then I've got no joy using the phone.

I can't use apps powered by google play services so I can't sign into Gmail App, Playstore, YouTube, Google Drive etc

Even Chrome browser takes forever to load pages now unlike before

Also, I can't transfer files using Xender and ShareIt anymore. A connection is established with other phones but there is no transfer progress

Worst of all, my KudBank App has stopped working.

......... And other little issues.

Guys, wetin person fit do to restore the phone back to normal?
