Re: Finidi's job as SE coach seems temporary.

I feel for Finidi. The general response to his appointment has been lukewarm with many Nigerians questioning his choice by the NFF. He has his work cut out and there are many waiting to sabotage him. Even among the 94 set, he was not their choice as they lined up behind Amunike. I just hope he does...

Re: Here we go again: Open camp of SE to local talent-Finidi's first move

Re: Finidi's job as SE coach seems temporary.

No contract details. No press conference Finidi is yet to say word. No assistant coaches No record of the Nff board approval No SE player has commented on Finidi Frog of Monaco gave up the plan Hope I'm wrong but this just doesn't feel right. When will Gassau and Finidi appear together? Is it a 1,2...

Re: VICTOR IKPEBA Issues INSULT: "We Settled for him (Finidi)......"

Re: Finidi had no assistant coaches vs Ghana/Mali

I DON'T THINK COACHES SHOULD BE IMPOSED Give the coach a free hand - he knows best who he can work with and the kind of assistance he needs. If necessary, let the NFF have a right to veto his choice. One thing I know for sure is that the imposed assistants would not be said to "understudy"...

Re: STRATEGIC CHOICES FOR EAGLES under Finidi George

So apparently a mandate given to Finidi, is to give homebased players more opportunity in the team. This is Keshi all over again. We are in serious trouble. Isn’t that what proponents of “no more foreign coaches” want? They tell us we have plenty talent in the NPFL who can make the team better and ...

Re: STRATEGIC CHOICES FOR EAGLES under Finidi George

Formation absolutely matters. ESPECIALLY when you put the wrong players in positions they are not suited to play. Which is exactly what we have been doing in our failed 442 experiments. For 2 central midfielders to work, you need 2 workhorses who will run tirelessly and out in a defensive shift. Bo...

Re: STRATEGIC CHOICES FOR EAGLES under Finidi George

I wish Finidi all the best and am rooting for him. On formations, for about 20 years, I've listened to soccer fans/coaches wax lyrical about all kinds of formations and why the 442 is dead, but for the life of me, I'm yet to see a more balanced formation than the 442. I hate the soccer that all the...

Re: Guys stop telling Finidi what to do

IT'S A FINE LINE Let's be clear of one thing: Finidi is a better coach than anyone who posts here. That said, there are well-meaning fans who simply want to do what fans will do, or what citizens would do to politicians. The annoying ones are the ones who see a Nigerian coach and immediately feel t...
