Re: It’s now unlikely Finidi will be retained.

He did it to himself :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: He wanted to be the black Peseiro. It was always clear to me that you cannot separate an assistant from a head coach. No way you can tell me "oh! he is just assisting, and his voice isnt heard." Same tactics, same formation, same players. Even the...

CAUTION: SE May Not Qualify for WC IF.....

...we persist with this uncertainty.... 1. The NFF needs to confirm Finidi as substantive manager and remove the interim tag, or hire a new manager, based hopefully on a criteria that they may have determined. WHY? Because Finidi, both figuratively and substantively looked like an interim manager, a...

Re: Nigerian striker Ibrahim Hafiz Umar to Chelsea

Very poor decision IMO.. even while understanding the financial considerations that might have led to this. There is no pathway for him to develop at Chelsea. I unfortunately agree with you. The pathway to developmental success should not be in a club like Chelsea. Smaller clubs would actually have...

Re: Bassey returns to Fulham after injury

It would have been if he started him with the other two guys fit and available. He is forgiven, though I am still not in support of the decision to invite him. You guys are pretending as if you don’t get it. I understand. A local coach can’t do any wrong. :lol: Lolly, the invitation of Tanimu and s...

Re: Finidi's 532

Or was it? He had more defensive players on the pitch and absolutely freed up Iwobi. The MF was super solid today. I don't know it it's Ndidi's return or the formation but jeez, it worked well. Very well. I expect the attack to get better when Aina returns to play RB. Also, it seems like finidi doe...

Ndidi with a beautiful tackle and clean up there! Not to be unduly critical as it is expected, but you could see Tanimu's inexperience there... Yeah, he turned his back on the ball and man and the pass was released. But he has acquitted himself well both in defending and in being in position to rec...
