CARBON (& DOLLY):
So we lost to Senegal AWAY? It is NOT a good development, but we should still keep our heads about us and maintain perspective. If we beat them at HOME, we leapfrog them back to the top of the table (all other things being equal).

We have another game and the aim is to win simple.

You seem to forget the home draw vs Tunisia.

Txj, R'U okay? You haven't renewed your call for Abdullahi's head!

Damn its 2004 already.We just cannot drop further points any longer.So far it hasnt been very terrible compared to our last qualifiers where Nigeria lost i think 3 games away from home.

Why? It's not his fault that the defence leaped like a basket and he didn't have the opportunity to play all his best players. Going by the commenetaries, it seems he had a grip on the match but the Senegalese had the advantage of finding the back of the net when opportunity presented itself.

...the only consolation is that we didn't have it easy either to get to Sydney..

Gotti, I wouldn't trust Abdulahi with another home game..that's my own opinion..

Are u "Miss Cleo" ? even with her clairvoyant powers, her predictions are usually still way off the mark. I guess you have a clearer crystal ball.

I think Abdullahi is gone!

The truth remains that we always have to make things difficult. Last time, we needed to beat zimbabwe 4-0 in lagos to qualify... somehow, we managed to do the trick... while we're not yet in the same situation, the sense of urgency i feel at this moment feels all too familiar.... meanwhile, txj hopefully you'll make time and coach my team this season... Happy new Year!

I hope Egypt doesn't gift the other teams points at home. Our away win in Egypt may come through for us eventually.
Let's keep hope alive.
No cause for control, everything is under alarm!

This is what you get when you have official who dont have the interest of their country at heart, banning four good player for political and selfish interest will not help our footie to grow rather setback and this just one. Do you know how impact four player could have added this game ? they better retrace step.

The 2 goals we conceeded early in this game speak volumes. But for those, we could have won this match. What a shame.

There is no guarantee those four players would have been in the line up if they were not banned, especially given Abdullahi's musical chairs with players. The man is the poster boy for LCs. He plays stars not teams. We probably will still qualify. Expect more big name players from now onwards....That is the Musa Abdullahi style.

IAG
When a team concedes 4 goals, if it is not the coach's fault at all then whose fault is it?

The real deal · Post by **The real deal** » Sat Jan 03, 2004 7:56 pm

nigerian coaches will remain a hard sell.Look @ it, 4 points from 3 games, 6 goals scored, 5 conceded! What is this away mentality thing with naija coaches just wanting to survive,makes me sick to my stomach. I remember the s*** that 3sc played against Zamalek under Suaib, the rubbish Berger played against Etoile under Amao and this rubbish under Abdullai in Dakar. That "away" mentality sickens. Like , this Camaeroonian insulter said how can we start this rubbish against another team? Some pipul will say its Senegal!!! Senegal my a**! Who the hell is Senegal? What kind of track record do they have and If they have it so what?! That is the difference in mentality btw any average Nigerian coach and the BEST Nija coach. I remember Shuaib saying the 1-1 draw Naija got against Kenya in Nairobi as a BONUS!!!!!!!! That was @ a time the Kenyan coach described the result as that of a bicycle overtaking a Benz!This was a game where Amodu had a full squad of Amo, Uche, everybody.......Ha naija coaches!!!!!!!1
