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: FINIDI GEORGE IS A TERRIBLE COACH

Some of you guys need to take a vacation. It’s one meaningless game played on a neutral ground Geez The game was NOT meaningless. It was a dry run for our upcoming do or die matches this summer and Finidi just pissed the games away. Didn't test anything, just played the same rubbish players who hav...

Re: Kelechi Nwakali…

Nigeria lost the AFCON final because Ivory Coast had 3 central midfielders while Nigeria had only 2, Ivory Coast was at home and had a racuous home crowd behind them, and because after noticing that they were outnumbered in midfield, Nigeria did not adjust its tactics or change its 3-4-3 formation....

Re: Kelechi Nwakali…

Excellent. Ok, you win: he is not an AM. What use does the SE have for yet another holding midfielder that does not score or assist? The SE already has a surplus of options in that area (Ndidi, Onyeka, Onyedika, Yusuf) Thinking he is an AM is where you made the first mistake, anybody that has actua...

Re: Kelechi Nwakali…

Thinking he is an AM is where you made the first mistake, anybody that has actually watched him will know he is a CM and trying to judge a midfielder by their goal contributions is silly. Those are for attackers Every single time an SE squad is announced, there is massive clamour for him to be call...

Re: Kelechi Nwakali…

We don't have any deep lying playmaker, I can't think of one! Plus he is good with dead balls.We took Aribo to Afcon, I am still struggling to see what exactly he brought to the table. I would prefer Nwakali any day!

Re: FINIDI GEORGE: He has Gumption.....

If he indeed was responsible for Tanimu’s selection and then started him on his first call up, then I am worried. That is not gumption. That smells of something else. It’s not as if we were short of quality players in the CD position. What was his point? What did Tanimu bring to the table that none...

A bit of hyperbole here.

For example a similar case was Bright Osayi a...

Reliance on foreigners has stunted growth of African coaches –Nsien

We have too many top attacking players to sit back and take pressure. Get the players to be galvanised and feel valued by the federation and within the team, and win.

The foul against Onazi in the 2014 world cup against France. The annoying part is that the French player was not punished.
