Odunayaw:
Wait o Dave, wetin you mean about the guys doing something unique and different on the pitch

If coach wey dem train to manage game no sabi, na player go sabi how to manage game ni

Unique aka different. They are professionals(abi allegedly is preferable?) If they switch the style, there is absolutely nothing Pes can do about it if it brings result.

Odunayaw:
I dread to think it. Makes my head even ache worse to imagine Peseiro can take us to it.

Today's lineup/setup was as bad as those preset formation I get forced to use on PS2 at gamehouse then

Real anyhow coach. It's painful.

theophilusj31:
if NIgeria players are that good in their craft,they will beat a minnow team like Zimbabwe without a hurdle irrespective of the supervising coach or the quality of the playing pitch.

You will never see a team like France struggling against an impotent Lithuania irrespective of the supervising coach

The coach's job is to select the right combination of players.
The players won't pick themselves. A balanced selection of players will help bring out the players best and produce good synergy.

ChrisKels:


Iwọ jẹ apanilerin bẹ.

Wetin dis one dey yan? They played well. Anybody that claim this team didn't play well today is bias.

Despite all the antics of Zimbabwe wasting time, we were still calm and scored. That was brilliant.

Hanibal:
There's nothing brilliant about that Zimbabwe free kick ... A straight shot from 35yards out, enough time for the average goalkeeper to adjust his body to the flight of the ball and make an easy save... But no! Uzoho chose to dive!

and he drank water

Icon4s:
These are the Lowest moments of our football.
We've never had it this bad.

When I saw that starting lineup, I was like

We've never started a WCQ with this kind of wackness.

The WCQ for Russia 2018 was tough but due to the fact that we started well winning Zambia 2-1 in their home, it set us up nicely and we qualified.

Now see the sham this man has put us in playing weak teams like Lesotho and Zimbabwe.

Pj don collect something from Uzoho. No wonder all those previous coaches stuck to him.

Dude almost conceded the second goal. Chaiiiiiii!

Mujtahida:

Not yet. Hold on for more torture 😂😂

They told me, "you'd learn tolerance and patience when you have a wife".

I'm unmarried but being a Man U and SE fan have nearly exhausted all the tolerance bundles I was given from above.

I no de do oversabi say I know tactics but I know what JPes setup today must come from a fetish he has for being a dunce!

lovewins:
Nigerians, manage your expectations. We may have just bungled our world cup chances.

Do you guys realize South Africa will be playing 7 of the 10 games at home and will only be playing 3 games away?

Manage your expectations. Advantage South Africa.

Why?

forgiveness:
The team played well against a team that defended deeply.

Zimbabweans were not special but playing deeply made us adjust our tactics.

It was a tactical battle. No small team in Africa. No more anywhere belle face game or display of technical ability but purposeful and business like game.

We played well and the coach was also very tactful. Weldon boys.

if you don't get out of here, I will smash your head

I can tell you we are more tactical than before. JP knows what he is doing. Unlike other coaches that plays anywhere belle face.

Only indigenous coach in Nigeria that can take us somewhere is Samson Siasia but he is still on ban. The rest na ......

I no know if there's a better one.

Rohr started well, but it became apparent he was not going to take us anywhere mid-way through his LONG spell. Progression we sought. But we got it wrong with JP. Eguavoen was meant to be a stop gap.

COOL10:




My brother, if dem give you Rohr, give you Eguavoen, give you Peseiro to pick as coach, who you go select? You gats select one as you no fit remain coachless.


As it stands the NFF has proven beyond reasonable doubt that it's incapable of hiring and eventually maintaining a Grade A Coach so we have to do with what we have.

Rohr's gameplay wasn't the most attractive but at least I was never bothered as much as I am now about failing to qualify for a competition. Even when we drew against Sierra Leone and lost to C.A.R, I was still confident we would qualify. At the end of the day, it was like we never even lost to those teams.


It was under Rohr, we beat Argentina in a friendly. It was under Rohr we drew Brazil. Aribo was phenomenal in that game.


The problem is that Nigerians are too quick to forget.

gustav25:
Lord is that tears I see raining down ?

Pity us na Gustav. Be gracious, be magnanimous. 😂😂

lusid:

How were you expecting them to play?

daveP:

With the way football is now all their minds must do "Bluetooth connectedo successfully" for them to "switch style" and play coherently.

If not we go see Leverkusen style, Nantes style, Fulham style and Gangnam style

Samueltemi337:
Why are you making it look like Gernot Rohr was performing prior to his sack



The man lost it and got sacked
Simple


Stop trying to paint him like the Messiah of our football

I never said he was our Messiah. You're the one who decided to interpret it that way. I can't help you with that 🤷🏽‍♂️.


What I'll say is this: Take it or leave it, as lackluster as Gernot Rohr was, he's still the best coach we've had in about 9/10 years even as he's a grade C coach at best.

No one can tell me that Eguavoen and Peseiro are better than Rohr.

But I digress. I thought Rwanda was being used to knock everyone about development? What sort of Agege stadium pitch was that!

Napoleon55:

What if we meet any of the power house like Egypt,Ghana,Ageria,Senegal,etc. who fails to qualify automatically?

am not expecting anything in this afcon with both Francis Uzoho and jp in charge of the super eagles at afcon. Lower your expectations

Looking at the super eagles critically, I think we expect so much frm dis set of players and the bitter truth is this guys are bang average at best...yes paseiro is a terrible coach bt u do not need to have a world class coach to beat Lesotho and Zimbabwe...we need to tell ourselves the truth, our players lack basic skills apart from some few exceptions...look at our goalkeeping department zero, our defence is full of school boy errors, d fullbacks can't even get to d bar line and put in decent crosses, same with our wingers...even guardiola and Mourinho won't teach u hw to cross the ball...d midfield is devoid of creativity and we place so much burden on Iwobi who is not jst dat guy, there is no one in dis present eagles setup dat can take d ball frm d middle of d pitch beat one or two players and open up deep defensive blocks...u don't need to b a jayjay to do this...and our attack I tink we can all see dat wen u remove osimhen and to an extent iheanacho we r clueless in frnt of goal...so all dat talk of us having array of world class attackers is not warranted...let's jst hope we can sort tins out bfore d next round of qualifiers and not miss out on d world cup..

Joebie:

That's one of the issues I have with the NFF. They got rid of him without having a credible replacement. I warned against it. They didn't listen and now the Super Eagles are a laughing stock.

Your last line. Bazooka

comodo:

One moniker said that he easily creates chances. That Jpes likes his attackers big and menancing.. To support the invite.

Sadiq is not a SE player. I will keep saying it.

Mujtahida:

Why?

Lesotho and Zimbabwe will be playing their home games there.

That will be catastrophic.

Double Wahala for dead body.

Napoleon55:

hatakekakashi:

You hit the nail on the head, Bassey is shaky and can be easily dribbled, he's error prone too. Simply put, he's not a good defender. Partnering such a player with another shaky defender like Ajayi is suicide.

Who else so you have in their place. Bassey is probably the most active SE defender currently and he isn't horrible.

In the past before Super Eagles coach is appointed

The application is thrown open
Top coaches around the world will apply
And you'll see them with their program on how to improve the team

But since Amaju and Galadima everything is secret and they give us a quacks that doesn't even know football

Pls Mr Forgives stop this,what do mean that JP knows what he is doing?
Is it until we lose out of another world cup before u realize he is not the man to lead us to anywhere?
Tell me that u believe this man will be able to win any of the top 10 teams in Africa.

So, you mean to tell me that out of over 200 million Nigerians we couldn't find a midfielder who could hold the ball , run with it and create play other. It seems all Aribo and Iwobi does it just play back and side passes...nothing decisive.

We need proper midfielders bikonu

What I watch today. Our local coach can't do pass this. To a team that packed the bus for 90mins waiting for GK error.

joelsteron:
I will not call for Peseiro sack, why? Because no local coach can do better than this unless we want to lie to ourselves. If NFF wants more let them go a better foreign coach please. Local is a no for me.

Tactically SE is improving compare to what Rohr and Eguavon left us.

This team will get better with time with the right players in the right positions.

If you could give Peseiro a non achieving white man a chance then Amunike with some laurels deserves a chance. In fact ,Amunike can do better than all these white men
