Same mistake.

An Ndidi-Onyeka-Aribo MF won't be able to orchestrate plays through the middle or switch plays at will. Una no dey learn. But it's fine. Keep judging football based on where player A plays or where Player B features while you ignore the actual and specific skillsets of the lads involved.

Una no dey ever Learn.

It's moments like these that validate Mourinho. It's moments like these that make him look like a world class coach even if he's probably not.

Manchester United got rid of him because of style of play, even after winning the UEL. Where are they now?

If you want to play sweet attacking football, you need the right set of players.

Let me tell you something; The Super Eagles did not win those three matches because of any tactics. No, they won because Nigerians underrated them. Check the history, we perform best when our people doubt us. That way the players feel like they have something to prove.

Prior AFCON 2019, Ighalo said something during an interview. He said he loves it when people doubt him because it serves as some sort of motivation to prove them wrong. He went on to become the highest goal scorer in that tournament.


But once the praises start coming in, we press the self delete button. Our major problem is that evil spirit of over confidence that has plagued almost every Nigerian team I know of.

I hope we've learnt our lesson.

Fvckk who you think you are. Fvckk your sense of entitlement. Put your pride in the trash bin and play football. Football is a game of 11 men against 11 men. African teams no dey look face again. Everywhere is dry. Boys need to make a name for themselves. If you slip up, the hyenas will takeover.

Who am I kidding? We are not gonna learn shhiiit. We'll probably end up making the same mistakes again.

I'm done with my rant.

So if there’s no Nwakali to orchestrate play through the middle or switch plays at will, nobody else can do it, did I get you?

I told you all Darkelf only put up his "pessimistic" strong wall of catastrophizing as a defence mechanism against any disappointment from this team.

Those who have followed his posts keenly as Darkelf and Blueelf will understand why I never was against his trolling.

Chief Icon4s also once took a Conservative view on our team when Osimhen was still rising as the next number 9. Icons wasn't too convinced about a lot of these young lads' durability as quality talents. He knew why he took that stance. He has seen generations of talents come and go that looked like world beaters when they first arrived on the scene only to fizzle out or fail to fulfill potential. But he never took his Conservative stance far shaa... even though they sounded not too encouraging at times.


In a way, we kinda need some "dark views" from time to time to keep us grounded but deep down I knew Darkelf (aka blueelf of red merseyside) was always and firstly a Super Eagles fan.

This Pessimistic stance is just his way of dealing with the loss and disappointment we all experience as fans when our team fail to meet expectations.

Darkelf.... thanks for the clarification but please.... don't vanquish your throne. I need you on that throne abeg so that the variety will continue. And so that the Carpentry football list updates will never cease doing its work.



Cheers to thee, the one and the only Elf of Darkness....

TheSuperNerd:


Who else in the current squad can do it? Who? Abeg who??

Abeg I am NOT going to bother having this discourse with you. I can already see the end of this from the beginning.
Biko Bye Bye.

Bros Even our best golden era couldn't hold Argentina when the game was 1-1, na this era you want us to draw them....we defended but the pressure was too much to handle

forgiveness:


Of course! Nwakali was the best player of the tournament......... ACCORDING TO YOU.

Without him, Nigeria football can never progress..... ACCORDING TO YOU.

Besides, Nwakali is not bad but he is not as good as you want me to believe.

Even Onyeka can do better than him.

darkelf:


My guy my guy

Nerdie, you really understand me

I don't ever want to be disappointed again by the SE

That's why I don't keep my hopes up and think about the worst case scenario each game

I really wanted SE to win but guess what, my heart will heal easily because I have prepared it for the worst possible scenario and I mouthed it here often so we could prepare our hearts should in case it turns out badly

Guess I was right after all. But it is painful to be right

Let me school you a little

What makes you think Awoniyi won’t score 9 goals in the epl ?

But Dennis failed to score after playing 8 games or so at the bundesliga ,I am sure if we are to judge by that stats you will say he will never make it at the epl ,but dude found the epl easier and even scored at his debut .

Maybe we should say to score in the bundesliga is much more harder than the epl because Dennis could not score there

Can't believe a time will come when I'll be jumping several pages on this thread

Make una calm down o.. It will take a while to get over this but we move...It happens... Ththaere's still a world cup qualification to prepare for..

The big question is who will lead the team?
I for once would like Eguavon to continue.. This Pseiro guy doesn't inspire much confidence with his CV...

zuchyblink:
Before we start getting it right at senior level we must change our understand and approach to football Okoye has no business with the Super eagles for now when we Afelokhai,Olorunleke Ojo and other goal keepers doing well in NPFL. Our obsession with European based players even when they are not matured enough is killing our football

TheSuperNerd:


Be like say na your way some folks need for this thread. Some couldn't stand it. Some couldn't eat.

Me, I can take it. I will keep my hopes up and watch it get crushed again and again knowing that one day my hopes will be rewarded with Joy and the reality of success like it was back in 2013 but I also will keep on analysing and wanting us to critically look at our team and see how it can be better.

It's okay Elfy... we all have our ways of dealing with possible disappointments or the likes.

But don't worry, we will be back...

owbabs:

Good.
Also, we need to pay attention players with a good first touch and ability to play in tight spaces when opposition bunkers. Many of our players are heavy legged.

Hahahahahahahahahaha.... Just nonsense. I can see you have given out awards already.... ACCORDING TO YOU.

This is why nobody that really knows the game takes you seriously when you begin talking under the influence of agenda.

Like I said... ain't having this convo with you. Not happening... you can spill all the nonsense you have in mind but I won't address them one bit. Just entertain us as usual.
