collynzo2: Who were the players Sia Sia dropped? Instead he listened to people like you and recalled the troublesome Osaze who missed three chances that were easier to score than miss. We ended up failing to qualify and SiaSia lost his job. His failure to stick to his convictions what was cost him his job, he shouldn't have recalled Osaze against his will. Keshi will not make the same mistake.

collynzo2: So who should have replaced Akpala?

Akiika: Well well well, Oliseh nailed it straight in the head. I have constantly maintained that Nigerian football is dead, as in DEAD. I know the AFCON win beclouded most people's objective reasoning. The level of that competition was simply abyssmal. I am convinced that with the ceaseless trials of unintelligent amateur players like we all watched at the CONFED cup, we ain't qualifying for any world cup. Keshi will be fired as usual and the NFF goons will make case for a foreign coach. They'll hire some elementary school soccer coach as long as he/she is white skinned, award some outrageous salary to accommodate their kickbacks....and the cycle will continue.
Oliseh spoke the truth!

thegoodjoehunt:

He has been there for about two years. You can't just build a team at the snap of your fingers. Barca have been building this team for over a decade, yet Messi's injury made them look vulnerable.

Spain will find it difficult without Xavi and Iniesta.

Boneda: imoh ezekiel

MekT:

who b dat?......Ur brother?

thegoodjoehunt: If the league is dead, what does Oliseh propose should be done to improve the Nigerian squad. Coach Keshi is trying to unearth gems from the dead league while Oliseh is criticizing without solution. I bet Coach Keshi is doing the harder job.

great7: THE DUTCH ASSISTANT TO SIASIA, KALIKA MENTIONED EARLIER THAT PLAYERS IN OTHER PART OF THE WORLD ALWAYS PROVE THEMSELVES AT CLUB LEVEL AS BEEN GOOD ENOUGH TO MERIT NATIONAL TEAM SELECTION BUT THE REVERSE IS THE CASE IN NIGERIA.
HERE,PLAYER'S ARE DELIBERATELY BEEN INVITED NOW TO ENHANCE THEIR MARKET VALUE OUTSIDE NIGERIA AND THAT IS KESHI'S DOCTRINE OF REBUILDING.
HE BLOCKS ESTABLISH PLAYERS,CALL THEM NAMES AND DO SELECTION BASED ON SELFISH MOTIVES.IN A COUNTRY WHERE THINGS WORK PROPERLY KESHI WOULD HAVE BEEN SACKED FOR BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEBACLE IN BRAZIL.
HOW CAN HE DEFEND THE FRAUDULENT INVITATION OF JOSEPH AKPALA WHO IS AMODU'S BOY AT THE EXPENSE OF MIKE ENERAMO? WHAT ABOUT THE CONTINUE SIDELINING OF HARUNA LUKEMAN WHO WAS THE ENGINE ROOM OF THE MOST RECENT DREAM THAT WAS DENIED QUALIFICATION DUE TO CAF
POLITICS OF PLAYING THE FINAL QUALIFIER WHEN IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR NIGERIA TO USE HER BEST PLAYERS.
ONYEKACHI APAM,CHINEDU OBASI,IKE UCHE AND HIS BROTHER HAS PLACES IN THE TEAM BUT KESHI POLITICS OF EXCLUSION AND ADDITION OF MEDIOCRE S WILL NOT ALLOW HIM TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
MOST PEOPLE DEFENDING KESHI DO NOT REALLY KNOW HIM. KESHI WAS THE HEAD OF THE MAFIA GROUP THAT BROUGHT BAD BEHAVIOR INTO NIGERIAN FOOTBALL IN THE EIGHTIES AND HE WAS ALWAYS THIRSTY FOR BIG BONUS CASH WHICH REARED IT UGLY HEAD IN FAR AWAY NAMIBIA RECENTLY.
THE NORM IN OTHER PART OF THE WORLD IS FOR COACHES TO GO A TOURNAMENT WITH HER VERY BEST BUT KESHI WILL NEVER DO THAT BECAUSE HIS MIND IS MADE UP OF WHAT HE WANTS TO DO WITH THE NATIONAL TEAM. NOTHING LAST FOR EVER, THOSE WHO KNOWS HIM SHOULD DRAW HIS EARS
HE IS DESTROYING OTHERS WHY PROMOTING THOSE WHOM DO NOT MERIT SELECTION AND HAVE NO CLAIM TO THE NATIONAL TEAM JERSEY.
EFCC SHOULD MONITOR THE NATIONAL TEAM SELECTIONS BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT NEGATIVE THINGS GOING ON.

thegoodjoehunt:

Let me paint a clearer picture. Martins was worse than Sambo in the qualifiers against Kenya. Ike Uche was worse than Sambo at the AFCON. So why should Coach Keshi waste his time on them. Please Coach Keshi has gotten Mikel, Musa, Echiejile, Omeruo, Oboabona and Mba playing as top professionals. Give him time and he will turn Sambo into a World class hitman Nigeria craves.

breezy047:


That's some truth you've said there.

When we say Keshi is building a team. . .let's face it. . .
Building a team with old men like Mba and Gambo?

Building a team takes a lot of time and patience. You don't say you are building a team and the next thing you are suddenly rushing them into high level confederations cup to test them. . .ofcourse expect to crash out and risk tumbling to the bottom again.

The scandals are still fresh involving Keshi and Adebayor in Togo about wanting to act as an agent for him.
You suspect that's what all these Keshi's romance with home-based players is all about. Expose them, help them secure better deals and then get some profit from them. . .and not really about building a team.


But one way or the other, his formular worked at the afcon so people are keeping quiet. And I also commend him for the good job. . .but he shouldn't push it beyond this.

Boneda: thank u very much, hw can keshi say he's buildin a team when he continues to drop home based players the moment they secure contracts with european teams, players lyk uche kalu, rueben gabriel, oshaniwa, uzoenyi, papa idris hav all stopped gettin call ups since they moved to europe. Hw can u continue to abandon what u are building

MekT:

If Osaze was 23yrz n he did diz....Keshi wuldnt write him off permanently....dat nicca don old..futball age 31...real age 35....Osaze put his finger in his own nyash...so he shuu enjoy the smell...bur i really donot knw wat he did sha ooooo.

emorse: Oliseh never totally condemned Keshi's approach. He only identified a few areas where better decisions could have been made. How can you take raw talents who have hardly been tested in the national colours to the CONFEDS? How many games had the likes of Gambo, Akpala and Babatunde played for the SE before the tournament? I agree with Oliseh that in the absence of the first choice players, the more experienced players like Martins and Osaze should have been invited giving time to the Gambos to fully develop their talents step by step. I suggest they go through CHAN, grade B friendlies, grade A friendlies and the AFCON before any FIFA organised tournament. Else, the same people who are blindly defending him (Keshi) now would call for his head when we fail to qualify for the world cup.

collynzo2: what did we achieve when we were playing the likes of Osaze and Martins? How can you invite Osaze who hasn't played any match since January? Did you watch Martins running like a headless chicken against Kenya in March? He should even invite Yakubu and Kaita. You wrote so much, but made no sense at all. SMH

collynzo2:
.
.WHO ARE THEY PLEASE?

Osaze,matins
.
.WHO SAYS KESHI CAN'T MANAGE THEM? He changed Mikel to a player who now wears our shirt with pride.



.



.
.Conveniently forgot that the transfer window was already closed before AFCON ended

Oliseh is just bitter.

sunch: Oliseh issue with keshi is the continous silence in calling back odemwingie

emorse:
If I may ask, what exactly is the job of a manager? Does it include helping players rediscover lost form? Rafa Benitez got to Chelsea and to some extent, helped Torres in getting back on track. Jose Mourinho stuck with Drogba when he was misfiring in his early days at Chelsea. Injuries kept Van Persie away from football for so long but Wenger never gave up on him. Cavani, Suarez, Forlan and even Neymer were all underperforming before the CONFEDS. This isn't a case of Keshi being a bad coach. It is case of accepting corrections and avoiding silly mistakes. Have I made sense to you now? Typical Nairalander!

Neymar, 5 times South American footballer of the year. Suarez, second highest goal scorer in the EPL. You say these guys were under performers before the Confeds. Hilarious.

Kgdavid: i think Oliseh makes valid points which may be applicable generally but not in this case. like i keep saying its kinda funny but all this noise is really just about two players: Peter Odemwingie and Gambo Mohammed. if the issues concerning these two had never come up then there would be no argument over home based or foreign based players.

my own concern is that there are certain stars this team is built around and if they get injured its wahala. we hve already seen that with moses and emenike. now ask yourself; what happens if Mikel gets injured? who will replace him? sunday Mba?? its funny cuz i really like Mba but the very thing i have been afraid of has happened. becasue he score a couple of critical goals everyone is suddenly overrating him...Sunday Mba does not have the quality to play in europes top leagues. at best belgium/holland is his level. i hate to be the one to say it but its just the ugly truth. you cannot compare Sundya Mba to Haruna Lukman... never! even though the world cup team he played in was poor, he was still one of the shining stars of that team. i'd really love to see him back in the team along with the likes of reuben gabriel and joel obi. Sone Aluko too better be called up that boy is a star!

MekT:

The smart ones haff started coming out...at least u're naming names...bur i want u to still recall dat dese players u have named haff deir disadvantages around Keshi....Pride!!!, Keshi'z inability to control dem...it mite b thru dat Keshi mite want to bring out home based talentz so he'll haff a % wen they finally go to europe and all dat n all dat...bur i wud rada watch a mixture of home base n foreign based players dat Keshi can control...dan watch Foreign based playerz dat'll haff problemz wif the coach den go to the World Cup n flop... Datz my take on dis mata rite naw.
