Winning will silence all those that talk for talking sake what’s the point of trying to play like Barcelona when you don’t have the players to do so and lose to go with it!

The problem is Nigeria is playing ugly football and still losing. My preference is to win, don't care about the style.

[cic old boy]

The first priority for a fan is to win.

1. Win the tournament. I don't care if we have to limp to the finish line.

How do you define "the most entertaining football"? How about they put out a balanced and organized team play? There are no guarantees in life, so I'll take a team with players that play for each other and work together for national success. I'll also take an FA that does what is necessary to make sure the team is well prepared for a tournament - this includes nutrition, health, fitness, techniques, and tactics.

The annoying thing about watching the Super Eagles for me is the predictability of tactics and play. Also the lack of flexibility of the coaching staff. Every one knows that Musa is not a good winger. Why do they continue to play him on the wings? Also Mikel Obi been played in an advanced role. Mikel is more suited for a deeper role. You watch Akpeyi make mistakes for 3 years, yet you still keep him and start him at the Afcon.

Clearance, defender nor fit clear. Lapsed concentration. Trapping ball. Shoot at goal. Just simple things appear to be too much to ask.

This is what happens when you are too careful. You make mistakes that you would not to normally make. The team was just too cautious.

My preference is for the SE to have a Coach with an actual plan

[deanotito]

This is not a sound poll. Who can be against winning? By "win", you mean win every single match we play? Then, in a span of our 4 years, we'd be rated as one of the greatest teams ever...In a span of 8 years, the greatest team ever. So who would possibly be against that?

So, the first option is a bit redundant.

The other 2 options are what we should be polling. Of the 2, I think the third is the most important. I can't stand terrible selection choices...there are a lot of 50:50 selection choices, but there are some that are 80:20, and to see a coach go with the "20" is infuriating

Exactly...

I would prefer good organised football....cos most cases, you win with it.... look at Wolves...do they have better players than the likes of Liverpool, City, Arsenal, United, Chelsea?.....

Still the beat these teams playing great attractive football....

If we can win the WC playing ugly.....great.....but those anyone here see that happening??

After the Croatia game....Roy Keane( like him or not) said” this Nigerian team likes huddling in the middle of the pitch, maybe they just concentrate more on playing football because so far, they have been embarrassing”

Is that the team we want......?

He is right.

Many moons ago, I asked TXJ if he knew the difference between strategy and tactics.

The question was apt then and is still apt now. Contrary to what people have begun to accept, we have always thought that we have the necessary tools to win. We have the self-belief most African countries don't have. If the strategy of the current coach is to play counter-attacking football and he is winning with it, then it is okay. Problem is that he is telling us we don't have the personnel to play an offensive style game and still win. His excuse is that we lose to teams we are supposed to lose to and beat those we are supposed to. So how do we beat those teams we are not supposed to beat if we play a style that doesn't give us any advantage?

To play defensively against average teams and lacking an offensive game plan is not us at all.

I disagree with him that we are better off being a counter-attacking team.

94 Eagles were are a counter attacking team at the world cup, except may be against Greece. But the 94 team could actually attack, and with good effect. Rohr perhaps had issues with some players. He had a enough firepower on the bench to play an effective counterattack formation. Then again how do you counter attack with "inferior" opponents? In African football Nigeria is never an underdog.

After this post, when i see you , i will buy you a whole bottle of grand marnier

All da polls above + SiaOne + Amunike !!
===============================
Truth.... be told.. .. all da time !!

[The Eagle]

With due respect, the poll presents a false choice.

Any fan would want the Eagles (and Falcons) to win as many matches as possible (bearing in mind we can't win every match) .... to play the best quality of football that is possible (bearing in mind tactics may occasionally need to be negative) .... and to accomplish both tasks by using the best combination of players we have available (bearing in mind the best "combination" is a concept that may require not using certain players who are individually very gifted, replacing them with a less gifted player who makes for a better "combination").

Why would anyone intentionally choose just one of these goals? In fact, I have abstained from this vote, as the option I want has been excluded from the presented choices.
