‘I saw it coming’- Keshi talks on Eagles defeat

[Gotti]

Is simply qualifying the target ?

This is the easiest qualifying format EVER. Yet he is still making a hash of it.

Abeg, put it back in your pants and quit getting overly-excited...
That's how you were going on just last year at the ANC. Poor game and result, but not a watershed!

[Gotti]

I can understand the anger and the disappointment....

But its also important not to overreact.

Unlike the situation Siasia faced, the margin for error in this ANCQ series is much, much greater.

Even if we miss out on topping the group, which is not important, as long as we come second or be one of the better 3rd place finishers, we will be in. Afterall its not how u qualify that matters..

By my calculation we need 6 points minimum...

Occasionally...

I pray that he wins in South Africa. If Keshi loses the second game - he will get fired. Please play your best players, and the big boys on the team need to cut out the nonsense. Is it too late to draft Enyeama? If he doesn't show up, we can revoke his nigerian citizenship..Desperation time.

Well said.. This place is rife with wild irrational expectations. All need to calm the heck down!

No the point is not that we think we won't qualify. That is not the point at all, like others have mentioned. We are sick and tired of a man who is intending to destroy us as a football nation with hi stupid call ups (Nwofor, Oduamadi, Uchebo, Ameobi, Reuben, Ejike, FAT Salami) and his stupid tactics ( Azeez at AM) his beefing ( Odemwingie, Enyeama, Lukman, Moses, Taiwo,). The fraud has nothing to offer us. We do not want to send a joke team of 2nd division non playing players to a major tournament EVER AGAIN.

1. If you are 'not concerned that we wont qualify',

what then is the problem?

2. If he continues with the same 'stupid call ups' and the same 'stupid tactics', AND STILL QUALIFIES as u acknowledge,

what then is the problem?

Is simply qualifying the target ?

This is the easiest qualifying format EVER. Yet he is still making a hash of it.

1. What then is the target of a qualification series?

2. Is making a hash of qualification of any significance, if, AS YOU ACKNOWLEDGE, qualification is assured? Is how you qualify of any known significance in football?

3. Is it not possible to focus on first qualifying and then strengthening the team later? Afterall, Brazil qualified for the WC on the skin of the teeth in 2002, yet went on to win the competition.

I'm trying to understand your reasoning here...Help me out here bro....

Why would qualifying and strengthening the team not go hand in hand ? Why should they be done seperately ? This to me is a stupid an not efficient strategy. You strengthen by playing more games together with your best players and developing quality backup options, especially when players are injured or suspended. You do not strengthen AFTER qualification. In fact this was the same daft strategy the Ke$hi cultists were advocating during WCQ. Remember they were saying "no new players" then when we had qualified they switched the argument to "no new players because there was little time"

Strengthening your squad comes from QUALIFYING, and taking qualifying seriously, learning your options in tough times, it also comes from trying new things during friendlies, but it is a process all together.

If you use junk players to just simply qualify. You have wasted a lot of valuable time you can never get back and you will always be BEHIND THE BALL when it comes to strengthening. This has always been Ke$his retarded approach. He even wasted a whole Confederations cup on junk players.

As I read your question again it is clear you are confusing "how u qualify" with "who u use to qualify"

These are 2 seperate issues. Ultimately "how u qualify" as in how well you play is not so important, however the decisions you make in terms of strategy, player personnel, is VERY IMPORTANT.

That we played poorly yesterday is not as worrying as Ke$his inability to see how he is wrong in terms of player personnel, ignoring real talents, calling up junks, playing guys out of position. In short Ke$hi is not improving the team, he is not building anything, in fact we are going backwards.

I just gave u an example with Brazil in 2002 that barely qualified for the WC.

The Germans are notorious for struggling thru qualifiers.

What is PRIMARILY important at the qualification stage is TO QUALIFY.


Is it good to get a perfect team while qualifying? Absolutely!

Its not a drama to struggle thru qualifiers, as long as u qualify!
There is usually time enough to fix problems afterwards...or replace non-performing players.

Keshi should step aside.

Scored a goal to make the loss a lil respectable. 3 - 2 better than 3 - 1.

said this so many times in here, Nigerian football is a pathetic reflection of Nigerian society by and large, after the world cup, did the NFF have a program in place for continuity? they were busy fightring about elections and what not, it had to take FIFA intervention to get their heads screwed on, they were practically without a coach, keshi might have seen it coming like a Psychic but one would have thought after the world cup, coaches take notes, introduce new hungry players to the mix, add a couple of those under 17 champions, create a new passion, people here complain the under 17s are not ready but Norway called up a 15 year old, same pathetic excuses, but like i said, Nigeria will never see the true potential of its sports men and women if they continue running the government like illiterates, Germany meanwhile have introduced new younger players to its national team, Nigeria continues to go the mediocrity way, sorry Nigeria, just like African football is just a poor excuse, i suggest you lot take up another hobby, seriously!!
