Re: Awaziem, Omeruo, Collins, Dessers

It’s a friendly so why not try the players he brought? He made only one tactical sub in this game, that is extremely odd for a friendly game. In fact I don’t think I’ve ever seen that. He actually didn’t give many ‘new’ players a chance aside from Tanimu. This is a game you could have tried out the...

Re: Awaziem, Omeruo, Collins, Dessers

While i understand everybody seeing this as an audition for Finidi, I think we run the risk of taking this more seriously than it is. It’s a friendly. His 2nd game in charge.

Re: Reliance on foreigners has stunted growth of African coaches –Nsien

Is our primary objective to win or to grow African coaches? While some of you may say both are not mutually exclusive, Mr Nsien’s comments implies they are. Growing local coaches implies they’re not where they need to be. I would argue that we likely have some coaches comparable to those we’d find ...

I agree with Odegbami that we should hire a local, BUT he implies we’ve never hired locals before. We have and have had varying degrees of success.

Re: I don't think Nuno likes Awoniyi...

Since Nuno took over, I've noticed Taiwo's playing time as declined. Yes, he was injured for some time, but besides that, I fear the new manager doesn't fancy him much. Last week, he inexplicably took him off after the 1st half. Today he is benched for Origi!! Imagine that!! Origi of all people!! H...
