Nwakali may start against Guinea Bissau cos we've already qualified, but no right thinking coach anywhere in the world will pick him over Aribo.
Anyways, Agents are out to make money.

I thought that was Sadiq he was referring to?

He was referring to the two

Pretty sure he was referring to Sadiq but didn’t mention names, but did say Nwakali played well.

I thought it was a terrible question because it was the wrong analysis of the game and seemed to be asked by a novice analyzer but maybe a seasoned journalist.

What i did not expect, nor did i like it, was Egu's response. He defended himself instead of protecting his player. He sounded like he was agreeing with the journalist but then said Nwakali lacks game rhythm and Sadiq did not do what he was told. It was not a good answer.

"He gave me some few excuses after the game but it's something psychological so we have to talk to him and address it in future games."

That has been the theme with Parrot Eguavoen and it's not professional at all ! Sadiq today Nwakali tomorrow. He wants the boys to have a son and father relationship with him, but he's everywhere divulging/leaking the private conversations the boys had with him to the media with the slightest probe from reporters. I was really shocked when he made the below statement about Umar Sadiq .

"He gave me some few excuses after the game but it's something psychological so we have to talk to him and address it in future games."

I felt bad for the boy (Sadiq)......I'm not sure how he's helping the players' confident by exposing their vulnerabilities to opponents or others to see. Let's face it, this kind of behavior will prevent the players from sharing their views and opinions with him. His constant need to prove himself is looking more like an inner insecurity which compelled him to need to prove himself whenever he's questioned. He really needs to cut out that part of him, because he's doing a good job so far .

Almeria striker Umar Sadiq has admitted that he is having difficulties adapting to his Super Eagles teammates, being his first time with the senior national team.

The 2016 Olympics bronze medalist has been openly criticized by interim manager Augustine Eguavoen after his first two matches off the bench at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations - first for not being on the same level as Taiwo Awoniyi and recently for not playing to instructions.

Sadiq arrived the Super Eagles camp full of confidence with a goal involvement of sixteen (9 goals, 7 assists) in 21 matches for Almeria so far this season, but his self-esteem is diminishing as he does not have the trust of his national team coach.

"Over there at Almeria it is different, they give you confidence, they believe in you, they let you do what you want but here for me is a new environment so I need to adapt. Let us see what will happen," Sadiq said to allnigeriasoccer.com at the end of training on Monday night.

Sadiq wants the Super Eagles to finish the group stage on a high note, by beating Guinea-Bissau on Wednesday.

Without giving the early team news away, it remains to be seen if the Almeria goal poacher would be Eguavoen's preferred choice to lead the attack.

"I hope we can pick nine points because it is not easy to top the table with maximum points so if we do that that's a good example, I hope we can do it," Sadiq concluded.

The 24-year-old Sadiq was Nigeria's joint top scorer at the 2016 Olympic Games with four goals to his name, along with Stoke City loanee Oghenekaro Etebo.

The press is already looking for how to sensationalise every comment and he keeps giving them ammo. Man needs to know that the battles he faces are not all on the pitch... a lot of folks can't wait for him to fail. Who knows him should advise him, from where he is right now, the only way is down unfortunately

He likes to play deep though and thus, creates space for Iwobi to come to the center (and abandon the right). Aribo is still the starter, but Nwakali is a VERY ABLE deputy. He’s really good

No one said he is the next Mikel....I said the way he came in yesterday was similar to Mikel calming the game

Those who claimed he did not deserve to be called now have egg on their face.

Imagine when EJaria comes into the fold. Another player we were told is a "div 2 player"

Ejaria is playing at a higher level of div 2 than Nwakali and has been more succesful as well.

If SE can make room for both Nwakali and EJaria that would be great.

Nwakali did work, he hustled and was not afraid to get dirty, but still something he can improve.

He really reminded me of Mikel. He got confidence too.

Baller.
