Re: Finidi had no assistant coaches vs Ghana/Mali
If you have coached at even Sunday Sunday level, you will realize having assistants is VERY IMPORTANT! In the words a famed Naija philosopher, as a coach, "Your head go full"! You need someone to bounce ideas off of, you need someone to help keep time, you need someone to remind you of who...

Re: Here we go again: Open camp of SE to local talent-Finidi's first move
I am leery about commenting on this because I'm not sure if this is a Finidi idea or an NFF idea or a figment of the reporter's imagination. We wont know because our coach has not been introduced and there has not been a formal press conference. Let's assume it's true. On the face of it, there's NO ...

Re: Finidi's job as SE coach seems temporary.
You'd be a liar if you can't admit the rollout has been abysmal and unprofessional. The announcement should have mentioned contract duration and a follow up statement from the new coach talking about how he feels about his new position. There'll also be clarity on his current role....if he's staying...

Re: Congratulations to the Legend from Ajegunle
Still no official communication from the NFF and there’s a reason why.
Lots of politics and drama behind the scenes. Everybody has their candidate. That committee is not in lockstep and somebody is putting pressure on them in the media to name Amuneke.
The movie continues.

Re: Nigeria Football Federation to Decide on New Super Eagles Coach Today
Honestly,
We need to move on from the Class of 94 and their sense of entitlement.
I am not with any Amuneke/Finidi combo.
NFF better not try it.
Did they interview Egbo?

Re: AMUNIKE - NEW SE COACH
Hold your horses.
When I see something like this being put out by the media unofficially, especially Nigerian media, I pause. This seems like a calculated move by someone to disseminate this information.
Let's wait for official communication.

Re: FINIDI GEORGE IS A TERRIBLE COACH
I wont say he's a terrible coach. I will say he showed some inexperience and naivety with regards game and squad management. Few obvious things he missed 1. Ndidi does not play 90 mins for Leicester and rarely plays 2 games in a week post injury. He played 90 mins against Mali while 2 other midfield...

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.

Re: Nigeria vs Mali(0-1)
Our midfield 3 is very flat in build up and spread across the center circle. We are trying to avoid the clog in the central areas I guess. Iwobi is the most mobile so he’s getting the ball but when he turns he has nothing vertical. Kudos to mali. Invert the triangle. Take out one of Ndidi or Onyedik...

Re: FINIDI GEORGE: He has Gumption.....
Also Benjamin started the game because of knocks to Omeruo and Bassey. When he got injured it was Osayi who played there and Simon moved to RWB.
Let’s see what happens on Tuesday.

Re: FINIDI GEORGE: He has Gumption.....
Finidi George is really a guy who believes in himself. He showed it today in many ways and I list them below. This guy's confidence is clearly to lay it all out and on the line. Nothing to fear. Na real show of gumption and bravery. I love it!!! https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/615N7SyhBKL._AC_U...

For a debut performance, he was OK. I wouldn’t go past that. I still look at him as a kid. Back in the days na this kind player full out U-17 teams. ThankGod for MRI.
