Bro.. the way some people analyze football here sometimes baffles me.

What is now the difference between what he is suggesting and what we're playing now? I just tire

SE is playing with too many selfish strikers in the starting 11 and it is affecting the balance of the team because the strikers do not want to drop deep to help the midfield and defense. we need strikers that like to pass the ball and are selfless if SE is to continue with such setup which is a bad setup because the strikers are not scoring goals..

the other option is to start 4 midfielders and 2 strikers or 5 midfielders and 1 striker so that the midfielders will control the midfield and the game with their passing since the 4 strikers the SE is starting don't know how to control the game and midfield is too lean to control the midfield and so once SE loses possession there is usually space in the midfield for opponents to pass through the SE midfield which is why the SE concedes the first goal most of the time.

Ons lighter note should we draft in the FUTURE now his is Obi.

I wonder šŸ¤” it he is Obi -Dient and will accept an immediate cap to play in the SE.

At least he will be better than Sadiq .

I saw Peseiro play Iwobi in Jorginho styled midfield anchor man. Every man and his dog knows Nwakali is the best guy to play this role. Something he's done all his career. No way on God's green earth is Iwobi better than him in that role.
For me, that's the only criticism I have for the coach. However, regardless personnel, we should beat Lesotho and Zimbabwe.
The players are to blame 98%. They have no justification for not putting chances away. Any Nigerian 11 assembled even if Dr Rafiu Oladipo was the coach should beat these teams.


This is someone who took his time to watch that game and especially observe our midfield setup.

Onyeka being positionally indisciplined wasn't going to sit as the CDM. He kept roaming. This is why Iwobi kept playing deeper. And how limiting it was.

Iwobi fell deeper as a DLP and long balls and switch of plays are not his thing. He's no midfield metronome or tempo controller. He is rather an attacking midfield pearl who can lay on the final ball from advanced areas or in the pockets between the defensive lines of the opponents.


Onyeka will bomb forward but doesn't have the technical nous to play against a deep block from advanced positions. Lacks the technical manipulation and skills in tight areas to turn and evade press.

This is not rocket science. It is football made easy when one takes the time to actually profile players right and observe who fits into what roles exactly.

The team's midfield needs Nwakali. But we also need more than Nwakali in the middle.
We need Alhassan's brain and energy as well. Ifeanyi Matthew's technical enforcing and also Onyedika's smooth CDM swagger.

These added to Iwobi's AM brain, Ndidi's midfield enforcer traits and Onyeka's BTL CM role (only when paired with a proper CDM with a holding MF profile or a genuine DLP) will see our middle game dynamics uplifted beyond compare on the continent.

Lastly Barryseal is partly right. I knock Peseiro coz he is crap but the players also deserve huge knocks for not winning against these minnows.

The players play like they don't have any fight in them. But this is also down to the atmosphere the coach brings to the team. So somehow, It is still a Peseiro thing. He is the disease and no wonder some of the players wants him to stay on. because he condones their unseriousness.

This man šŸ‘‡šŸ½ gotta go.

Tobichimezie:
This is my final take (albeit a short one) on the way forward from this mess. I want TheSuperNerd to give me his opinion on this.

My 5 Keypoint submissions:

1. Peseiro surely has got to go now, there's no gainsaying why he shouldn't be fired before the week runs out and his contract severed cause it's more than obvious the man is utterly redundant and gash. NFF should source for funds from wherever they can for all I care and make sure the man is paid off whatever he's owed to avoid another Rohr situation. If the Peseiro to Zamalek rumors are true, then it couldn't have come at a better time. Good riddance to bad rubbish I say. The man has the worst record of any SE manager in recent history.

2. NFF should be in talks with any of Oliseh (as much as I hate this), Siasia (is his ban over?), Amunike, Ndubuisi Egbo, Manu Garba and even Randy Waldrum. Given the short window of time we've got left before AFCON starts, it's impracticable to find a solid foreign coach, and I doubt NFF can afford the money to pay a tested foreign coach anyway. Can we get Pitso Mosimane? A man can only dream.

3. Whoever becomes the new coach definitely has his work cut out for him, for starters more than half of these current crop of players need to be either dropped for good, put on probation and axed if they fail to meet up to tactical expectations. Which brings me to point #4

4. Players that should be retained from this current set of players are Osimhen, Ndidi, Simon, Iheanacho, Iwobi, Aina and Zaidu/Osayi

Probation list should be: Chukwueze, Awoniyi, Moffi, Lookman, Onyeka, Onyedika, Bassey, Ajayi, Bruno onyemaechi and Boniface.

Players that NEED TO BE DROPPED FOR GOOD: Uzoho, Jamiu Collins, Omeruo, and Awaziem.

5. The players that now have to be called up to show us if they belong under the new coach and tactical system will be: Gift Orban, Akor Adams, Alhassan Yusuf, Nwakali, Eletu, Akinsanmiro, Igoh Ogbu, Noah Atubolu, Jonathan Rasheed, Olisa Ndah, Folorunsho. And if we can manage to get that Kayode kid that plays for Florentina to commit to Nigeria, it will be a massive coup for us.

The time to overhaul and rejig starts NOW, let's not wait till after the AFCON before we fire this fat retard called Peseiro, because we all know we aren't getting out of our group under this man. So let's not waste each other's time and get on with the business.


1. Not saying much except JPes has to f**king go and NOW! But reality is we are still stuck with him till the Afcon.

2. Pitso Mosimane would be my first choice among the Local Africa choices. But he is engaged in the Arab world making expensive money. After him, Emmanuel Amunike is my next choice and then Samson Siasia (SiaOne) who is still banned from football till next year.

Reality again is NFF WONT TALK TO ANY OF THEM. WE ARE STUCK WITH JPES FOR THE NEXT 3 MONTHS

3. Would happen if the NFF does make that right step so for now it won't.


4. Can only discuss this if we bring in that sound coach the team deserves and Most importantly, NEEDS.

5. Same point as made in 4.

All nice points but let me snap you back to reality.

Jpes is not going anywhere till after the Afcon. NFF should please TRULY shock me for once and prove me wrong.

We conceded from set-pieces and not open play.And most of these have been as a result of bad goal keeping and poor defending. In as much as we are struggling to score, we should not also be letting in goals like basket.

Everything boils down to the coach. He promotes mediocrity. Bench is supposed to be for non performers but our coach prefers to reward mediocrity. While it's ok to defend your players publicly, JP should have benched Uzoho and any player that makes mistakes. That way you build seriousness and discipline.

The bolded is a total misyarn and bull crap

When you have only attackers creating chances for their fellow attackers thereā€™s a problem

When you have only iwobi being the creative mind in the midfield thereā€™s a problem

When you have 1 assist as his only highlight in 4 previous matches thereā€™s a problem

When you donā€™t know your best cb pairing thereā€™s a problem

Weā€™re playing against average teams that canā€™t hold the ball weā€™re struggling, what happens when we qualify for World Cup and meet a team of our caliber or higher

Then itā€™ll end with at least we try na

In Liverpool, apart from the fullbacks the attackers create chances for each other so you're the one saying bull crap.

Iwobi is usually the only midfielder on the pitch so yes he will be the only creative mind in midfield because he is the only midfielder.

Only 1 assist proves my point on attackers and fullbacks been the ones to create chances and Iwobi is not a Bruno Fernandez or Jude Bellingham type of midfielder.

If the strikers and midfielders don't drop deep to help the defenders then no CB pairing will ever work and that's why the SE has been conceding the same type of goals with different CB pairing.

SE players don't also know how to hold ball that's why they concede goals..

Portugal have already shown SE what would happen if we play higher rank teams when they beat SE 4 - 0.

We had this same issue in the last years of Rohr. Recall we went a calender year without a win in 2021. We have changed coaches 3times since and still we can't consistently win matches.
We may choose to ignore this but I'm seriously looking at the players now. I don't see seriousness on their part. It's time to open up the space for the not so big name players to come in and have a stake. The present crop of players are far too comfortable for their own good.

It seems youā€™re high on cheap wine

Because heā€™s the only midfielder on the pitch it means all finish passes must pass solely through him

How deluded are you ?

From full backs to center backs to wingers

All of them should be able to do what iwobi does to a degree

Saying i wonā€™t score because Iā€™m a defender is pure foolishness
Saying i canā€™t drop a pinpoint pass when the need arises because Iā€™m a cb is pure ludacris

What are they on the field for if they canā€™t thread the needle with a pass ?

Iwobi is not a cdm nor a Cb nor a Rb but within a 90mins frame he covers those positions upto 5 times each

So heā€™ll say Iā€™m not a cb I wonā€™t close out the open man

Bros youā€™re slow youā€™re slow youā€™re slow

Arnold shouldnā€™t bring in dead balls because itā€™s meant for only midfielders

Marcelo wonā€™t dribble because itā€™s meant for only attackers

Going forward our LB/RB have limited arsenal going forward and pinpoint crosses from them is 30/70% being accurate.

Wingers decision making na god go help us, all of them are poor from dead ball

Attackers too inconsistent thatā€™s all

On a more positive note, Iheanacho seems to be in good form for the Super Eagles. He scored a beautiful goal against Saudi Arabia, had a great match against Sao Tome, got an assist against Lesotho and scored against Zimbabwe. He was directly involved in both goals scored in our last two matches against Lesotho and Zimbabwe.

Our squad has the potential to win the AFCON, with much depending on Coach Paserio's decisions. In the match against Mozambique, Paserio selected Onyedika, Onyeka, and Aribo for the midfield, resulting in a robust performance. Despite Mozambique's early score, Onyeka's attempts on goal and Onyedika's assist for Moffi's goal, followed by another stunning goal from Onyeka, demonstrated the team's capabilities.

The Onyedika-Onyeka partnership brought vigor and control to the midfield, enabling effective ball recovery and maintaining possession upfront, thanks to Aribo's skills. This match should have highlighted to Paserio that Onyeka excels when relieved of defensive duties, given his superior long-range shooting skills.

In future lineups, Onyedika should be a consistent starter, especially when Ndidi is unavailable. The deep-lying role should see Onyeka, Nwakali, and Aribo competing, while Iwobi, who lacks defensive and long-passing capabilities, would be better suited to an attacking midfielder position.

The strategy of pairing strikers, who are capable of leading the forward line independently, can lead to confusion and a weakened midfield. Soccer requires a balance and strategic organization, which goes beyond simply assigning multiple strikers.

In terms of midfield options, for me Nwakali is the only one needed!

If Kelechi Nwakali is not in the team, Iwobi has to play the deep lying role. Not Aribo or Onyeka. At least Iwobi has the technical ability to lay through passes. I don't see that in Onyeka and Aribo.

Either way, the team needs Kelechi Nwakali.
