Re: Today na Today. All African Games: Uganda vs Nigeria
U-20 style of play is, run-and-shoot football laden with over-zealousness.
Our local coaches need refinement on the nuance and psychology of the game,
else Bosso should take over coaching the SE so we can continue the rot.

Re: Ejuke showcases Okocha-like ability in Belgium: Time to replace subpar Chukwueze?
Unlike the ball-juggling star he is compared to, his main issue is whether he can release the ball on time and accurately. Until his ball-juggling can fit into team agenda, he will be just another entertainer. The video evidence shows that he lingers too much on the ball, and that is not what most c...

Re: Give the Job to Michael Nsien jare
No matter who the NFF hires as a coach, until the unnecessary meddling is curtailed
our football will continue like a sine-wave: up-down, ...up-down, ...up-down!

Re: QUESTION: Is Talent Born or Acquired?
No one is born with TALENT. What people are born with is physical attributes that can make talent acquisition easier and faster with practise. This often explains difference between sexes in sport.

Re: Ahmed Musa sacked by Sivasspor
Is there a more insidious basis behind the vitriol directed at Ahmed Musa? Did his inclusion in the AfCON squad impact proceedings? Was he divisive in the camp? If so, did it steer the ship wide of its course? On merit, perhaps his inclusion was unjustified, but many a player has been taken to tour...

Onyeka, the one notable SE mid-fielder at AFCON.

Re: Awoniyi vs WestHam( and he hangs )Iwobi and Bassey vs Villa
1990s mindset. Whenever creativity is mentioned, Cyberians reply “midfield, midfield”. Most assists in the EPL this season thus far? Kieran Trippier and Ollie Watkins. Rather than assume Iwobi the second coming of what he’s not , the question should be, when will our game modernise to the point whe...

Re: Why have our last two foreign coaches been defensive?
May be the players are as good as the fans think? Thanks bamenda . Our best players are defenders, and most of our offensive players are overhyped and selfish. In an era of quick coordinated possession football, you can't have attacking players with bad first-touch control of the ball, inaccurate p...

Re: So how can Peseiro fix the Eagles.
This coach did a great job with this average team. Time is too short but I want to believe Nigeria has far better players than most of those in this squad. The goal within the year should be to plug the gaps by aggressively scouting locally and internationally for talent. In my view, I was impresse...

Re: What Manner of Defence is Peseiro Putting Up for Zaidu?
Aina is good but can be careless at times. Look at his attitude after the Angolan
went through the defenders and took that shot that hit bounced of the upright.
He certainly was not interested in at least chasing him.

Re: Boniface fit in current system
If fans are complaining while the team is winning, I wonder what hell
will break out in a loss. It's been said that, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
I guess our resident ITK coaches just want to add some salt, pepper, and a little more heat.

Re: What Manner of Defence is Peseiro Putting Up for Zaidu?
After all these rantings, not one of those against Zaidu named a credible replacement sitting on the bench. Which is why the coach keeps fielding him. With all the criticism of the player, one would think tons of goals have been from his errors, and that he has zero impact on the matches. Some peopl...
