FINIDI: Excited About Enyimba's progress
This victory over Diambarr's was important given the focus of Diambarrs, which has been to produce a number of young Senegalese boys that have gone on to professional football in Europe and Asia. Hopefully, Finidi can continue to make progress with Enyimba.
Finidi hails ‘fantastic Enyimba’ as Peoples Elephant beat Diambars 3-0

Enyimba’s Coach, Finidi George, was full of praises for his boys, who beat Diambars of Senegal 3-0 in the second leg of their CAF Confederation Cup preliminary game, Enyimba won the first leg 1-0 in Dakar and ended the tie 4-0 on aggregate.
The Peoples Elephant opened scores in Aba in the first minute of the second leg with Tosin Omoyele the scorer.
They doubled the lead in the 31st minute through Victor Mbaoma, while substitute, Samuel Kalu, completed the goals in the 90th minute.
Speaking after the game, Finidi praised Diambars for giving his team a tough fight, saying they will now return to the drawing board to prepare for the next stage of the competition.
He said: “Personally, I am happy that we played this way. We knew this team (Diambars) is a very good team technically, they pass the ball very well, but at the same time, we kept our composure, we kept our formation and then tried to hold them so that they cannot score an easy goal.
“In the second half, we still played that way, trying to contain them and the tempo dropped and that helped us as well to pass the ball a little bit more in the middle and gave us that opportunity with the few changes we made.
“We knew we cannot match them because I think they’ve started their league already, they’ve played a couple of games, really competitive games and they have that match rhythm so we knew if we could play to our formation, not give them that space, which I think they had in the first 20 or 25 minutes that they dominate. After that, the tempo dropped a little bit and that permitted us to play our football a little bit.”
The former Ajax of Amsterdam winger said the game changed slightly in the second half because most of the players were tired, adding, “we made some changes and brought in some fresh legs which really helped to give us that penalty.”
Nigeria’s other representatives in the CAF Confederation Cup, Bayelsa United, were eliminated 4-1 on aggregate by CD Sfaxien of Tunisia.

After this German fraud is gone (hopefully soon enough), please Finidi step up as NT team manager and bring back our football, Amunike and Finidi is a combo I want to see.

Re: FINIDI: Excited About Enyimba's progress
You don’t think you are actually showing your doubts about their coaching credentials when you ask for them to ‘combo’ with the SE?
You are not the only one and I am duty-bound to point out that it’s pretty obvious that you are ready to risk everything just to get rid of one man.
Can you handle the heat if your combo fails for whatever reason?
And why underate both Finidi and Amuneke in this way?
Are they not capable each in their own right?

And Wing play, Wing play. The third goal remind me of our opener versus Bulgaria at the 1994 World Cup.

I dont understand where this terrible culture comes from where we pick multiple people and ask them to coach. or we pick someone's team. Select your coach based on trust and let him bring/form his own team. Sheeesh!

Very impressive play! The simple things we are lacking in SE, proper crosses, give and goes, accurate passes in the box

1) We have a young team.
2) We are still learning.
3) We don't have players in the top clubs and UCL.

Congratulations to Finidi. May they keep giving you the tools to succeed.

Re: FINIDI: Excited About Enyimba's progress
After 7 games in the NPFL his record is 3 wins, 3 losses and a draw which by Enyimba's standards is poor to say the least.
Re: FINIDI: Excited About Enyimba's progress
Still very good experience for him.
He will be getting to know the league better.

Yes, one wonders if there are things going on that the public is not aware.

Re: FINIDI: Excited About Enyimba's progress
So, when he was 3-0 was he a good coach? and now that he has 3 losses, has he automatically transformed into a bad coach? Should he now be barred from consideration as a coach of the SE?
Or perhaps, just perhaps, like everything else in life, do we need a much larger sample size than 3 games, and these things should be evaluated with a more nuanced view?
Just like there was no basis to draw a conclusion from Eguaveon like many people did after 3 games in group stages, one loss is not the reason to rule him out as a coach going forward. People need to stop being so damn impulsive.

I think Spain’s by far the best league.

Re: FINIDI: Excited About Enyimba's progress
I don't see where anyone has tried to say this bros, all i've said is that his record in the league is not too impressive at the moment with arguably the best squad in the country, quality-wise only Rivers UTD can compete with them in that aspect. Though i'm sure if he were announced earlier things would've been much smoother.metalalloy wrote: ↑Mon Jan 24, 2022 5:50 pm So, when he was 3-0 was he a good coach? and now that he has 3 losses, has he automatically transformed into a bad coach?

Wasn’t directed at you boss. Just at people who make definitive statements on coaches in general after a handful of games.
