Re: Against SA, probable Finidi 352 formation

The problem Nigeria has will take several months maybe years to fix. Finidi is Nigeria best chance to qualify for the WC. The crazy thing is the same WOWO didn't say anytjing when Peseiro was losing friendlies . The double standards. Nigerians are brainwashed. You're lying bro. I like AFCON Peseiro...

Re: BBC Sport: Friendly Loss Splits Opinions.......

The vultures have surrounded Finidi. Now there’s a report on OGN that Lookman and a few players were so upset with Finidi for not playing that they refused to shake his hand after the game. If true, we haven’t heard of this kind of dissent in the team for a long long time. Also, it turns out that F...

Re: All things considered, our best and safest starting XI right now

Especially if we hope to make the world cup in our murky fixtures against tough opponents in South Africa and Benin republic. A new (experienced) coach who will be gutsy enough to approach both games with a 4-3-3 will be the safest bet, could care less if he's another oyinbo journeyman at this poin...

Re: 10 lessons we can learn from the loss to Mali

Herve Renard and Finidi George sounds like a good combination to me. President Tinubu just needs to summon a consortium of Dangote, Adenuga, Otedola, Rabiu, Alakija, Elemulu, Ibeto, etc to Aso Rock and get them to be responsible for the coaches’ salaries. The same Herve Renard that won an Afcon by ...

Re: What Finidi George said after Nigeria’s 2-nil loss to Mali

If Finidi keeps the job he will drop some players . You know this how? The man didn't even play his bench. Sometimes we can't seem to shake our ugly past. Let's take a memory recap of our last 3-4 coaches both local and foreign and see how they're alike: 1) They kept deadwood (The Musa's of the wor...

Re: 10 lessons we can learn from the loss to Mali

I think Finidi should be retained as an assistant coach though! It depends on who they hire. If it is another journey man mercenary coach. Finidi should resign. It doesn't help his career being an assistant under that situation. If I were him. I would quit and look for another job on the continent ...

Fractured fibula…. He’s out for the season
That's a 3-6 months recovery time depending if he needs surgery. I believe he missed the 2018 WC after he played an instrumental part in helpingus get there.

Re: Awaziem, Omeruo, Collins, Dessers

This was a really bad performance. Add Osayi to the list. His last few SE performances have been underwhelming. Lots of blame to go around. I signed out on him during the Afcon. He made a wonderful run that needed a simple pass to a striker but instead he went for glory. He's a far better fullback ...

Unbelievable stuff I am reading on social media. Some Nigerians are brainwashed by WOWO. From what I saw in the Ghana game. Finidi is a good coach. Give the guy support and time to build his team. No white man they hire will save Nigeria. Nigeria need depth, we need new defenders and midfielders. F...

Re: Awaziem

Awaziem is one of the jokester on the team. He is a bit like Kelechi. They are several videos of him on YouTube m/Twitter with Kele cracking jokes or dancing. I don’t think he’s good enough but for some reason guys with his personality seem to have a place on the team with this current SE.
