Re: Brentford trigger buy option to sign Nigerian talented defender Benjamin Frederick (18).

This is the player Finidi should have called but instead we get Mr. Tanzania obviously looking for a move. Can’t you see that Tiaminu is way better than this boy? :laugh: Both players deserve to be called up. Because they are the future. Stop this nonsense. You can only call up so many players at a...

Re: Finidi had no assistant coaches vs Ghana/Mali

Do you need an assistant to make simple substitutions ? The real scandal is that dude ignored our promising players and even beefed with them WHILE AUDITIONING FOR A JOB. So what would he do when the job is his ? You should be very scared. Which ‘them’ did he beef with? From an unreliable news sour...

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: So Naija picked a local coach because CIV did?

Let Fae win outside of Cote d'ivoire first before we see how he compares with anyone else. I said it before. If not for what Emerse Fae did, the NFF would not even consider a local coach. Even then Finidi was still the backup option. The real question though. Are Fae and Finidi at all similar other...

See absolute nonsense. Both Peseiro and Rohr LOST HOME GAMES, yet still qualified the team from the group stages of world cup and nations cup respectively. (CAR and Guinea Bissau) Rohr also lost 3 points on a technicality IN A GROUP OF DEATH, and still qualified us. (Algeria) This was all done in 4 ...

He is right. We are not in a mess if you understand the math. Of the 3 teams at the top of our group, we are the only team that hasn't lost on the road. Rwanda is yet to play on the Road, and South Africa has lost on the road. We have the advantage, unless you expect South Africa and Rwanda to win ...

It is a mess that people don’t realize the mess we are in. Nigeria drew against Lesotho. Serious countries that want to qualify for the world don’t hire a new coach in the middle of qualifiers, it was a serious blunder. Last July I said we need to hire a long term coach. He isn't a new coach. He's ...

Most people have had things to say about ALL coaches.

Maybe you have selective memory.

Anyways Rohr and Peseiro won bronze and silver at AFCON. We should expect NO LESS from Finidi.

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.

If not for what Emerse Fae did, the NFF would not even consider a local coach.

Even then Finidi was still the backup option.

The real question though.

Are Fae and Finidi at all similar other than black skin ?

spot on. The idea that the NFF is "broke" has always been a nonsense argument, especially after the money we won from getting silver at the latest AFCON. The NFF claimed they wanted a foreign coach, but THEY didn't want to put up the cash, they wanted someone else to foot the bill so they ...

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...
