"I think the important thing for my perspective is you playing for pride you playing for your country and we still playing for points I get lot of respect for the Nigerian national team but we going to be competitive and we have been competitive in every game we played.

According to Coach Butler the goalkeeping department has been a problem for his team with the goals his team conceded in their previous games something he said has been addressing the coming in of Nathaniel Sherman As goalkeeping coach and the inclusion of Boison who has a bit of experience.

Butlers said though his team has not played at home in the competition but he is proud of his players the way they worked over the time and is of the conviction that the team and players will get better and whoever that will take over from him will benefit from a very good team.

"Noting Playing at home has an effect on us is where you get your points from if Nigeria was playing away from Home they will struggling too but is not my problem, my problems are to rebuild this team and play a branded football and put good of lads out there with good discipline and we done that and if we had been a little more discipline and professional going into the depth of games in the last minutes we could be here with five points," he said.

Concerning the absence of stiker Kpah Sherman, Butlers said he will not really miss the attacker because he has players that can come in and do the job.

A shock win by Central African Republic over the Super Eagles in Lagos has given Liberia confidence they could also record an upset against the star-studded Nigerians.

Nigeria stopped fellow West Africans Liberia 2-0 in the reverse tie in September.

“Central African Republic showed that Nigeria can be beaten,” said Liberia spokesman Gologo Ben Garkpah.

“We need to take our chances, which has really been the difference between us and the Super Eagles.

“I think we can upset the three-time African champions.


“With all respect to them, the Super Eagles are not infallible. They can be beaten.”

The official said the Lone Star are a lot stronger than they were three months ago.

“The squad are a lot stronger than the one on matchday 1,” he said.

“With the inclusion of Mark Pabai and Jamal Arago, I’m sure we will be solid at the back.

Both teams have clashed at this level 15 times with Nigeria winning 10 of these meetings, two matches ended in draw while Liberia recorded three wins.

Bushboy,

You have to use the talents at your disposal. Excuses are for the weak. I am sure this team is not coming to this game to lay down because of Nigerian players in significantly more high profile clubs. It is simply 11 v 11 when that whistle sounds and it becomes fight to finish.
