Re: Like Eric Chelle, Like Hansi Flick
Inzaghi had experienced players and it was telling that Barcelona were tracking all the wrong players. Look at Inters equalizing goal. Thuram fed Dumfries who then skipped the ball past Martins and fed Acerbi who had run all the way from the back into the box to receive the cross. I don't think any ...

Few strikers press like osihmen. Surprised psg did not go for him. Arsenal should snap him up or liverpool.

Re: CE folks make una no vex too much
This team is rubbish. They had 7 chances in front of goal and couldn't convert. Zimbabwe had two chances and scored one. Don't blame ekong. Blame the midfield and defense that allowed Zim to waltz into the box and score.

Re: Reigning APOY going to Saudi at 25?
He made the right decision. Less stressful games and more money. He will rake in at least Euro 25/30m net a year x number of years he is there. He can concentrate on international football. Football at the end of the day is about money. He does that for 5 years makes 125-150m he will be extremely fi...

Re: It's not difficult to grow medals in the olympics.
Nigeria has the raw resource but not scouting. They should pick sports most likely to find talent and start by awarding prize money for those who can meet certain performance metrics and train them in 4 years: 1. Athletics - 100-1,500m, long jump, triple jump, high jump, shot put, javelin, discus, h...

Re: Nigeria facing Challenges in World Cup Qualifications: My Observations
The weakness in this team is the midfield. Finidi should think back to what made Nigeria solid in 1994. Hardworking central midfield full of no namers. Okocha was benched because he did not do the basics of getting the ball quickly to the forward line. Nigeria has accommodated Iwobi for too long. Th...

Re: 10 observations I would like to make of the Ghana game so far
Ghana was a weak team without two key players. The friendly was meaningless.
I want to see Nigeria play a top team. England, France, Colombia, Brazil, Spain.

Re: Third-best team in Africa: Jose Peseiro set new target for Nigeria’s Super Eagles
Paseiro was inspired by the formation Brazil adopted during the 2002 World Cup. They had Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho so they played a 3-4-2-1 by bringing in no-namers like Kleberson and Gilberto Silva to man the central midfield with Roberto Carlos and Cafu flying up and down the wings. Nigeria had...

Nigeria should reappoint Amuneke coach of the Super Eagles. Out of the crop of ex players he is the most tactically astute and got the best out of Osihmen and Chukwueze.

Re: Iwobis problem
Iwobi was never played as a AM during Afcon. He was plated as CM with heavy defending responsibilities and played his role well. Only those who don't understand the game think he had a bad Afcon. No he wasn't your AM.. No he wasn't a deep playmaker No he wasn't your DM. He was a box to box with def...

Iwobis problem
Iwobi is no pirlo who can't run fast and doesn't defend but whose passes are out of this world. He is no Paul Pogba who played deep for France but could defend, launch counter attacks, pass long and score from distance. Iwobi is an average attacking midfielder that doesn't defend, is not particularl...

And your solution is to put Aina/iheanocho and Onyea in the middle. 2 of which are NOT midfielders. wow Iwobi was minus one defending. He is no Paul Pogba when it comes to passing so what value does he add? Iheanac...

Nigeria was found out
Paseiro got it totally wrong and then tried to adjust when it was too late. I said earlier that he should have gone with a 4-3-3. A 4-3-3 would have nullified the threat of Adinkra who basically forced Aina to stay back. There were no surging runs for Aina and it isolated Chukwueze on the right. On ...

Re: Why haven't we seen any through balls for Osimhen?
Osihmen is being marked tightly and playing a conventional 9. Lookman has reaped the benefits because most times it leaves him open. Osihmen has been more successful when he drifts wide to exploit space and drag the defence wide. And Osimehn is the ONLY forward to be marked tightly ? The true great...

Re: 343 WAS A TOTAL BUST TODAY LIKE I SAID
The first half was indeed dire. The fact that they could turn it around in the 2nd speaks to the resilience of the team. We were lucky on this one for sure. They had a great chance in extra time to finish us off. Two things surprised me. How easily they bossed the midfield and how we were unable to...
