Keshi has tried,he needs to go to South Africa.I will prefer someone else in the mould of Oliseh and Siasia

You don't get the problem......

Where is the new manager gonna choose from?

Abroad; Where most of our players are bench-warmers?

Home; Where our league isn't good enough?

I think it's less of Keshi's tactical nous and more of lack of talents our Country is currently producing.....

Benzema and Giroud scored over 40 goals for their clubs last season

Musa, Emenike and Osaze combined scored less than 18 goals for their clubs last season.... I think we lacking quality and even Alex Ferguson can't do a damn thing about it if he is our national coach...

Me like it d way it is oh,coz of d battalion gej is taking 2 brasil 2 nyash brazilian gals.

Mr.chippychappy:


Oliseh and Manu Garba (Under 17 coach) for me.

Is Manu the U17 coach?

In a country of Blind men, the one eyed man is king. Onazi is one eyed. Mikel is blind."

Come back! Nigeria.

Mr.chippychappy:


As far as i am concerned Mikel didn't really do any wrong today . He was just a little bit slow in the Midfield. Keshi should have had quality back up Midfielders like Lukman, Ogu and Joel Obi not Gabriel Ruben who doesn't have a club.

So he needs a MF to carry him along?

Not surprised Matuidi injury Onazi instead

This is a very impressive match, the players palyed their hearts out, please and please nobody should come out and abuse them. The Nigerian coach, Stephen Keshi has also impressed me, in fairness to him, he always explains that his players improves with every match which is clearly apparent.

Now why did we loose this match very simple, we lost on technical and tactical analysis, that is the difference between a technical adviser and a coach. The French coaching crew realised that the temperature was not to their advantage so they played it cool in the first half, they also realised Onazi and Efe were the engine of the team, so they took them out (Onazi completely, Efe partially), same tactics was used in 1994 by the Italians.

We were having the set pieces but couldn't use them which the french team utilised well, set pieces are technical in nature, it is not just to kick the ball, it requires a lot of IQ...Musa is fasting, he runs and uses a lot of energy...reason he didn't come to the party in the 2nd half (I expected him to have been substituted in the 2nd half)...all the french's corner kicks were targeted at Pogba, why? because of his height...with all the corner kicks we had, what is Ameobi doing on the bench?

Lastly, we need a playmaker, no single attacking midfielder, Mikel is good and talented but he is psychologically torn between offensive and defensive play.

My humble conclusion, either we expose Keshi to the technicalities and the analytical intricacies of the game or we get a Technical Adviser to assist him...somebody that will read the game, analyse it and make meaningful changes (of course, this will depend on the available bench)

God bless the Super Eagles....God bless Nigeria

One major thing I observed so far was that we lacked the tactical ability to defend set pieces...Two goals we conceeded from Argentina were from a free kick and a corner kick. I thought the technical crew would have taken note of that and advised the boys to be more alert in defending set pieces. But lo and behold,the same thing repeated itself against France today..Conceeded two cheap goals from corner kicks which could have been avoided in the first place. It's a pity!!!We have ourselves to blame for this loss. The French took note of our weakness and capitalized on that.

Many Nigerians on this forum happen to be kids.The kinds of comments and analysis displayed whenever things dont go their way is baffling.Must players/coaches be unnecessarily blamed whenever we lose a game.Even when we blame,must we insult the players? The players gave a good fight and the game could have gone either way. Most comments here are crude,insulting and shameful.

@least, i no go dey watch ball with fear again

Keshi has set the precedence for Local coaches .He has tried .The only thing he needs to work on is his relationship with players .He kills the morale of players .Moses started performing badly under his tutelage

well written bro... Well written.

I must admit that with the quality of our players,beating France sounds like an ''impossible'' thing to do. I really appreciate the effort of the lads during the France game. Mikel's blushes were exposed immediately after Onazi was taken off due to injury,and that cost us... Enyeama was an almagam of the ''hero'' and the ''villain'' but his saves before and after the goals were eye catching! Oshaniwa,Ambrose and Omeruo are a triumvirate of an ''average'' defence,per se. Yobo tried... Yes! He tried but Nigerians,just a few though,may not be able to see beyond his own goal(mistake). Musa was absent throughout the entire match,probably he was among the spectators! Emenike&Osaze were too rigid... Moses couldn't fill Babatunde's shoes...how execrable! Keshi's substitution,Reuben,was short of ideas and tactical approach to the game. . .

Come rain,come shine... I'm flying high with the Eagles! #SuperEagles

runzlord: why re u guys blamming mikel? if not for the over rated and over confidence eyenma they 4 no score

u dey craze na dat mikel wey dey play like person wey don Bleep b4 he kum play

How come African teams always let people down towards the end of the game? Ivory Coast, Ghana, and now Nigeria?

Darn!! I blame Enyeama for both goal. Poor decision making at this level is UNACCEPTABLE!! He shouldn't have come out for the first goal - ditto the second goal.

The team definitely missed Baba's creativity. Moses is just useless, and this guy hasn't improved since he started playing for Crystal Palace in secondary school. He plays like a secondary school student - unnecessarily flamboyant without any end product.

I can't even blame Mikel - he has always been utterly slow and useless. Just side and back passes, with zero creativity. I expected that from him, so I can't blame him for anything.

Darn!! That was naij's game to lose - and the team collapsed in the last 15-20 mins.

And why didn't the coach send in Ameobi, for those begging crosses in the box, with no one to connect?

Gutted - but great game regardless.

Keshi has tried,he needs to go to South Africa.I will prefer someone else in the mould of Oliseh and Siasia

Hollandis, you christened Yobo "Calamity Yobo" and hasn't he lived up to it?

RUSSIA 2018 . HERE WE COME

Dnt 4get to visit http://we.twomini.com/ for hottest update

D midfield was too porous d ball was free flowing through d midfield as if no one is there and all was on d ill defense

mz mariah:

tell keshi ooo

hollandis:

Keshi has set the precedence for Local coaches .He has tried .The only thing he needs to work on is his relationship with players .He kills the morale of players .Moses started performing badly under his tutelage

Moses played badly for Liverpool... Is Keshi also responsible for Moses' poor display for Liverpool?

Moses scored 2 goals last season for Liverpool with 22 appearances..... Keshi's fault?

Our players aren't in form and you questioning Keshi's rapport with players?

Mindset like dis is why our football isn't growing... No objectivity put pure conjectures..

Enyema was overworked. Our defence .i.e. Yobo was weak...and we lost the game after Onazi's departure...I almost feel his injury was strategically planned and executed...that was a red card offence...We should have got a penalty for that bearhug that was given to Osaze...and we had no capable substitutes for almost any position

We tried our best but, Mikel and keshi dealt with us

cdamsel: tell keshi ooo

Babe I'm sick again. get me a cup of ice cream please.

hollandis:

come, this girl, if you don't know something don't spew the first thing on your mind. Moses was loaned out to Liverpool and spent the better part of last season on the bench. How is that Keshi's fault?

Moses only exploded for Nigeria in the nation's cup UNDER KESHI.

You suck at analyzing football, go read a romance novel or something

Why we lost :
1. Defending - We hardly defended our goal during corner kicks. If we had a man in d post he could av kicked away dat pogba header. Yobo as d leader failed 2 co-ordinate well. Sometimes during corners our players were marking space, they failed 2 pick pple in d box & outside d box. Our defence nids quality, we nid a better left back who is more incisive that is some one who can deliver outstanding crosses and be active in d 18yard box of our opponent like younger evra. Yobo shd exit 4nw. Ambrose tried, we stil nid anoda right back.

2. Attack : Mikel has bin dreadful thus far, slow & daft. His marking has bin appauling. Victor moses has no business in d super eagles line up 4nw. Kelechi iheneacho, yayah, wud av done better dan mikel & moses. Mikel killed our transition during counter attacks. He kept on flighting wayward balls 2 a player dat has bin heavily marked.

Way forward - let us bring in key players frm our u-17. Our youth football programme should be engineered 2 produce genuine and nt over aged players. Technically sound talents shd b our goal that's players who have superior wining & ball retention. Players who can cross balls with high precision. Keshi & co shd remain but I tink he nids a gud opposition scout &technical assistants/analyst. Tactically super eagles look out of it @ times. For example we had loads of possession 2day buh we neva made it count. We had loads of corners buh they were poorly taken. Keshi shd look more @ our league, we can get better guys dan mikel in our league.

MOSES=GHOSTMODE ;

In other news, I just heard that the match between Nigeria and France has been cancelled by FIFA. A new date will be communicated shortly.
So cheer up and start jubilating
