PurpleHouse:
And Rangers is in the 4th tier Championship

Rangers are Scottish Champions yet a 19 year old who literally starts for them and can play both LB and CB won't smell the English or Italian teams

andrewbaba44:
How many foreign born dem commot apart from akpoguma ?

Dessers, Lookman, Ebuehi, Bassey, I heard Ejaria made the list too the only surviving foreign borns were Aribo and Okoye who could not be left out for obvious reasons

Danielnino00:
And you think it makes sense to say Bassey would have made the final list of a local coach isn't in charge when he was literally invited for one international window, sang some songs and went back to Rangers... Interestingly it was during the period that he became more regular at Rangers that he was dropped by the same Rohr for the last group games...

So much gibberish to say you don't have the list

Danielnino00:
Don't switch lanes!! Stay on the same lane you are..
You are trying to make it sound like Bassey was a regular in the Same under Rohr and Eguavon has come to kick him out because he is foreign born... SMH!

You know it makes no sense to say that Bassey was not included in the 40 man list that's why you are deflecting, show me your 40 man list I am waiting!

Danielnino00:
Oga, which one is "Rohr was inviting"?
Bassey was invited for just one international window and didn't play anything..
Don't worry, I'll dig out that 40 man list for you... They even said it's 37 man list...

Bassey has started every match since he was invited in our 23 man list yet he can't make a 40 man list, I'll like to see your list

kingphilip:
He might not be in the initial 40 man list submitted by Rohr and going by the rumour of no replacement policy by CAF, maybe that's why the hand of the coaches are tied.

That's my guess sha

Repeat that to yourself and see if it makes sense

Danielnino00:
You are being hypocritical... Rohr was benching Ebuehi for Shehu...Same way he was benching Aina for Collins... He brought in Akpogunma,then used him a RB and dumped him on the bench.. He called Bassey and didn't give him any minutes .
Suddenly it's Eguavon that's trimming them from the squad .. Are u sure Bassey was even in the initial list? Remember the list was submitted by Rohr...

Rohr was inviting Bassey in 23 man lists yet he can't make a 40 man list and I'm the one being hypocritical

PurpleHouse:
Is Shehu the only Moslem we have in Nigeria who plays football? So they couldn't see another northern Moslem to replace him with?

They had to waste that spot.

Make we mistake qualify for world cup make I see Shehu there. I will arrange to steal his phone and release Pinnick's nude myself— make we for rest.

What the hell

Shehu is from Sokoto he is not just any Moslem

The funny thing is Bassey is the most inform defender we have and not to include him in a 28 man list show how little he is thought of

kingphilip:
Regarding Ebuehi, not suggesting his inclusion but we've not really tried him out much of recent to know if he still has that same Argentina match vibe with him

Ebuehi has been playing well in the Italian league and has performed in multiple matches for the SE for you to be mentioning Argentina match and he was replaced by Shehu and Jamilu Collins who have had monstrous performances for the SE

They didn't even wait before trimming all the foreign born from the list, Aribo is even lucky he is an integrated member of the squad, local coaches my ass

Danielnino00:
So what role do u want Bassey to play in the SE? CB of LB?
I like Ebueh a lot....But that Argentina game was 4 years ago..it's old news... Ebuehi hasn't really done enough this season to merit a recall if we are to be honest...

This is Bassey's breakthrough season for Rangers..he need it.... Like I said, he should wait for his time...there's no need to rush...

Ebuehi has done much compared to Shehu or Jamilu Collins?

Merry Christmas in advance everyone

Danielnino00:
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen.
Sequel to my post yesterday where I expressed my intention to take over the responsibility of organising the annual Nairaland Nigeria Football award as requested by Icon4s this year, I'm glad to announce that the award would go ahead as planned, and I'll be coordinating it with Drklever.

Four people from this thread will join the nomination committee alongside me and Drklever, with icon4s being a honorary member.

On this note, members of the thread are to nominate 3 monikers they wish to be part of the committee. Unlike how it was previously done where we would nominate only one moniker, I suggest we nominate 3 each so as to make it more flexible and have more people nominated.
Here's how the nomination selection will be sorted;
3 points would be awarded to the first name nominated, 2 points to the second and 1 point to the last.
Example: I nominate Danielnino00, Drklever and icon4s. in this case, Danielnino00 will have 3 nomination point, Drklever will have 2 and icon4s will have 1.
At the close of the nomination process, the 4 monikers with the most points will be added to the committee. Any moniker that's selected to the committee but doesn't wish to participate for any reason whatsoever will be replaced by the another one from below the top 4.
Nomination starts now and close on Monday, December 27th 2021.

Thank you.

I nominate

Leave that guy make em dey yarn Apata,

Na people like him, will not waste time to stab e follow statemen at the slightest opportunity,

and he had stated with pinnick already,

while I agree Pinnick had not been OK with matters, you can't paint him black all the time,


now he had turn to call him FIFA errand boy

Pinnick has been excellent at the administrative aspect of the NFF but his non footballing career show in some of his footballing decisions but this one prefers going back to the days of hustling jerseys on the day of tournaments the way some of these guys make some emotional outbursts eh!

humility33:
I know you will quote me brother

I just know....

If you read it well...I said in managing foot ball in Nigeria, the Northerners have proved to do better. So you can interpret the way you like or think...the truth is bitter

The Northerners have proved to be better at what, were you not born when Northerners were at the helm of the affairs of the NFF as recent as 6 years ago? Na people like you will support Buhari when another president takes over

Ndidi makes it to the Carabao team of the quarterfinals as a CB

Hakim Ziyech is not included in Morocco's squad for the Afcon

TheGoodJoe:
.
I guess you failed to read Idolises Mourinho. Morais worships the floor Mourinho works on.

And so what?

TheGoodJoe:


You don't know more about the players than Rohr who has lived, trained, worked with the players, advised them, know some of their personal challenges and worked with the players to improve their games. He has coached these players for five years and you feel you know more about them than him, when you have never met them?

Oga he invited 3 natural midfielders for a tournament like Afcon, and has continually jampacked the SE with redundant defenders and Strikers for years despite the myriad of midfielders staring at him,playing players out of position, starting poor players while the best players are on the bench, He may know more about their personal challenges but he is handicapped in the football aspect of things

TheGoodJoe:

I hate Pinnick. Like seriously. Is it not on this thread I was explaining why I support Pinnick's decision to get in the likes of Kanu and Okocha into the coaching crew setup because of the attitude of players?

Will I do that if I hate him? I don't like his complex and some of his thought patterns. Not that I hate him.

By the way, Jose Morais worked with Mourinho for long and in tough games Jose always opts for negative set up..

Morais has worked with Mourinho for long and idolises him. So he prepared different teams negatively a lot with Mourinho.

That is why I suspect he is a negative coach. Okay.

Now do you think it is because I hate Pinnick?

Ok let's say you don't hate Pinnick but you prefer the fraud Aminu Maigari to him, and about being Mourinho's assistant where is it written that assistant's must have the same football ideologies of their boss, Arteta was under Guardiola for many years yet had a distinct football ideology from him, Carrick was under Ole for years yet set a completely different formation on his first match, I'm not really bothered about his style of play given that he has been successful in places he has been as far as he can transfer his successes as a manager to the SE, carry on!

TheGoodJoe:
You don't.

You can say whatever about Rohr's football knowledge but the truth is that he doesn't know as much as he knows about our team despite being our longest serving coach so serving office does not necessarily mean that somebody knows much about his job

TheGoodJoe:

If they ask you if the Technical Director of the Super Eagles and former captain, and former coach of the Super Eagles know the current players in the team, what will you say?

Rohr is our longest serving coach and I know more than him about our boys

TheGoodJoe:

So you can see why you interjecting in such manner is uncalled for. I want to do a research of him and I made a guess how he would play and then you start barking he won trophies..

I have my reasons why I feel he is negative. I may be wrong but that is my guess.

How did you make a guess on how a coach would play without any information about him other than his name? I tell you how you did it, it is because of your hate for Pinnick so any appointment he makes is automatically bad and there is no need to research before lambasting any potential appointment

TheGoodJoe:

You are not in contention for the job and you don't know a tenth of what Eguavoen knows about the boys. And Morais does not know a quarter about the boys.

If he comes in, Eguavoen and co will need to school him about the boys.

If I ask you how you know how much Eguavoen knows about the boys you will repeat guess

TheGoodJoe:
Winning trophy does not show whether a coach is offensive or not. Many coaches play negative to win but as I say, those are short term victories and with time it will show that the team is not growing.

By the way, I said I can GUESS he is a negative coach. Note the word guess. Some of you are fond of arguing without getting the context of the discussion.

I don't know Morais but I can Guess he is a negative coach. Telling me he won trophy does not show attacking football.

Nawa o, how do you guess he is a negative coach based on his name or what? And isn't the Afcon our next objective

TheGoodJoe:
With the Super Eagles?

Obviously not

TheGoodJoe:

At least Eguavoen knows the team's. He knows the players. He understands our football and knows some of the coaching crew.

With a few days to the competition, he can try to get the team up to speed in preparation for the tournament.

You think Morais has an idea about our team?

Well I know the players too but that does not mean I'm a brilliant coach, knowing the players is not automatically going to generate the tactics for us to win the Afcon, well we look at how things unfold in the coming days

TheGoodJoe:


What do you know about Morais that you believe he should be given the job?

Well I know he has won 5 major league trophies and 1 individual trophy in the last 10 years what do you know?

TheGoodJoe:

As far as I am concerned, this is what is wrong with Amaju Pinnick.

Before going out to look for a coach, the technical committee supposed to have drawn how we intend to play and the pattern should serve as the yardstick for selecting a coach.

I can Guess we are back to square one with another conservative manager.

Pinnick should have allowed Eguavoen go to the tourney.

Well it is his NFF.

What do you know about Morais to know he is a conservative manager and what do you know about Eguavoen to know he should be given the job for Afcon, well anything to have a go at Pinnick

daveP:
Cos that's what i noticed throughout their equalizer goals. Either he was far off or not noticing his man.

Anyways that's a nice one. Rodgers bottling this shocked me. Or the players are just a mess.

Na wa o, You no know Rodgers

komekn:
I don't think so.

9 goals in the EPL this season is not Dodo and Beans.

Daka was much better than Vardy in that match
