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: Wilfred Ndidi

He started as a defender and moved to defensive midfield so we never really saw his attacking capabilities. The new manager at Leicester has unlocked his attacking capabilities. Now he’s back in the Premiership, I can’t wait to see him in his new role. That’ll be the real measure of his ability. No...

Re: Siasia interview

Yes, I also thought his explanation had K-leg and I went on the CAS website to see if there was any information on the case (didn't have the patience to look through their bulletins though). The truth is, in my experience, organizations like FIFA don't just railroad people based on the little evide...

Re: Iwobi and Fulham vahsus Liverpool

How did Bassey improve this much? He has been super solid since doing Fulham. Thank God I was not the SE coach. I had written him off after that little Ghana man left him gasping for air. Was one of those that wrote him off, I no go lie. But someone on CE said at the time that he was being played o...

Everyone who knows Enyeama, knows the type of person he is. And now, Siasia has come out to tell us who Mikel truly is? :D

It’s time for NFF to announce a coach. We need a permanent coach that can fully commit to the job, given the proximity of the qualifiers. Fiddling around is putting the whole operation at risk
