Cheers.
But Benin did…🤔

The level of depth that Benin has is so great that I think they can match any team in the world!!

Am sure Boniface will struggle to get into the Benin side? So would Lookman, Chukwueze🤷🏽‍♀️, and of cos Osimhen….!!

Tell then Charlie, even though they will continue to ignore you.

Sadly, we are where we are.
If we want a local coach, we have to keep Finidi.
He will learn - something we Nigerians believe is below us *>cough<*>cough,<*

Now we are being forced to learn the hard way.
... But was it not under Gernot Rohr that the rot started? His tenure was only good in the first contract but the rot was deep in the second contract. frankly, I see no regrets getting rid of him. Nigeria must find the right coach but it is certainly not Gernot Rohr. Even going further, some of these players must be cleared out.
Oh please, Prof.
Which ‘rot’?
Let’s not go there. We have gone past that point.
We have a problem. Focus on the choices we have made.

Look in the mirror and ask yourself which choices you have advocated or backed in the last three years have turned out good.
Or you can simply say, “It’s Rohr’s fault”.

Whichever way, it’s your choice.
For now, Finidi is all we have.

IF YOU ASK ME, FINIDI NEVER HAD THE RESPECT OF THE PLAYERS FROM THE START.

REMEMBER WHEN HE WAS FIGHTING FOR PEPE'S JERSEY WITH MOSES SIMON AND LOST OUT?

THATS NOT THE ACTION OF A COACH THAT DESERVES RESPECT.

Damage limitation.
I can’t even laugh.

How more cruel could fate be than to inflict maximum damage through the very person we ridiculed out of town?

Our last three coaching choices have been poor. NFF always goes for the more malleable coach, foreign or local. None of the last four coaches have been the public's preferred coach. And even now, NFF will take months to sack Finidi and more months to appoint another yes sir manager.

It shouldn’t surprise us. Two of them were played out of position and the whole back line had not played together as a unit before the SA game.

People like you never ever learn. Your ITK wont let you.
That is why you are doomed to keep on washing and repeating your mistakes, over and over and over again.

Anyway sha, I am just going to continue to shut up and let you continue to dig holes for yourself. Life is too short to argue common sense with you.

I just watched a pick-up game. Wished I could have been around the stadium and get a chance to suit up.

There is no tactical or technical approach in our last 2 games. It is a just go and have fun kind of match.
when our players had the ball, it showed they didn't know what to do.

Which mistakes. Is it not true that the FC that people are calling for played in this WCQs.? Is that incorrect? If it is, then simply calling for an FC smells of a poor analysis. What is required is deeper analysis and not simply locate a target andf make claims that are not backed with logic. We must be better than that.

I love my eagles so still hopefully but I braced myself for this one. Somethings in life are easy and straightforward but we do more work to impose complexity and chaos.

One thing I'll touch on later. The players did not believe Finidi is a component coach. Finidi has been with this team a while you know so they know what they were getting. Rumour had it that players did want the change. Maybe that's why some of them didn't go out of there way to play injured. At Afcon, we had at least 4 players who played with injuries. Ekong played injured from the second game. The believed in the project, and they can tell when everyone has a defined role - it was clear to see.
Unfortunately, we are not serious and deserve what comes with poor decisions.

It was blatantly obvious that Benin were tactically better. I think Munie won all his aeriel duels.

I have had it with this Onuachu fella. I always defend him but what's the use being :LeBron James height when shorter guys are winning balls over you? A lot of guys simply need to go.
