Eberechi Eze would have easily answered this call but o ti lo.

Should I unretire from my Nwakali slumber the moment he begins playing for Barnsley? 😭😭😭

This is tempting.

Of.course please unretire, at least he trains with the team so he should be fit enough to play. It doesn't matter if he's a bench warmer in the EFL.

Super Eagles should learn how to play possession football. Too much dependant on wing play is affecting psychology of our play, that is why they hardly string two or three passes without pushing the ball forward or losing the ball in the final third. It's not a confident team.
A tiki-taka foot work would have dismantled the Rwandan defense and send the keeper the wrong direction. Tiki-taka makes every player to be creative and spontaneous with the ball.
To be honest, Teams that Pack Buses always have tough times dealing with opponents that utilizes tiki-taka antics against them.
During our previous games we tried such pattern against weaker teams like (Rwanda, Guinea-Bissau) to break their defenses, it back fired cos our players had not already mastered the artistry of this beautiful play.
No matter how we tried, We couldnt hold the momentum cos no CONFIDENT HOLDING MIDFIELDER could step up and co-ordinate the attacks and spread the passes.
These current set of SE players would rather kick ball to the left wing play, back to the right wing play, then pass the ball back to the goalkeeper... Then the keeper, passes it to a defender, the defender shoots the ball up high! only to be nodded back to the keeper on rebound And this cycle keeps repeating itself on-and-on till the final minutes.
And there on the sidelines stands a clueless coach, wondering what happened to his players and who to blame for his lapses.

Finidi is a one of a confident coach who tried to develop and utilize this pattern of play but unfortunately he didnt have enough time to effect the change as most people saw his tactics as a "Beautiful nonsense without no end result" but little did they realize its a technical play that requires alot of time to master.

Since the time of Genort Rohr till date, our free flow possession football is a mess. Okocha or Kanu would have a confident to hold a ball inside the 18yrd box and be expectimg a foul, penalty or a goal against the opponent.
But what we have now is defensive minded players, who when have the opportunity on the ball, give it to their wingers to sprint-on into the 18yrd box. Fortunately for their striker Osimhen, if he catches up to nod or kick (that's to say if he's never offside before the ball gets to him or out run the ball )

Charlesemeka85 remember when we mentioned this about Nwabali. In our last match, Ekong was unhappy when Nwabali went down in the closing minutes of the match

They should calm down if we were leading they won’t be unhappy

Goke7:


They should calm down if we were leading they won’t be unhappy

He kills the vibe. Whether we are winning or not, Nwabali likes to waste time. Not professional at all.

TheGoodJoe:


It is okay. Finidi George has moved on. He is only talking about it because of media questions. Move on too.

Finito.

Whether he move or he no move, neither Finidi nor Osimhen sabi am, his moving on or not moving on is a very negligible factor in this matter. Make he continue dey wa-y-le upandan.

AndSunGorilla:

Eguavoen also gave him his first Super Eagles cap as well.
BTW wetin Iwobi do am wey e go sit down for naughty corner on the stadium tracks like say dem punish am.

😀

minfelix:

Amodu was employed in 2001 and was relieved in 2002 meaning he oversaw the team’s qualification to world cup and Afcon from beginning to the end
also the 2010 WCQ and AfconQ he started and ended both campaigns…not as if he was drafted to lead the team and perfom magic for two remaining matches just like how they use to do eguavoen
in 2006 WCQ and 2022 WCQ

no he didn’t

Mujtahida:

This Mikel wey body dey pepper am so be like he'd go for coaching one day. E dey him body

Wing play can many times be everything in football.

Wing play is utilised to drag defenders out of central positions to the sides, leaving spaces for the Center Forward to shoot.
If the opposition defenders are hell bent on occupying the central positions, giving no room for the Center Forward, the Wingers themselves can drive in to shoot.

Chidera Ejuke is very consistent in one thing: dribbles.

He is currently number 1 in La Liga according to Fotmob.

And currently number six in goal scoring chance creation.

No talk oo. It's his attitude. Read the report. He's been penalized at his club for it. That's different from when a goalkeeper kills time to manage a win for his team. Every sensible goalkeeper does that yet one cannot say that delaying is an attribute of all goalkeepers.

Anyway the coach has said that it will not repeat itself.

Meliforme:

This is the reason why I congratulated you on Ejuke moved to Sevilla.I know stats will start coming out,yes a good dribbler.

If you can used goal creation to rate Ejuke in la liga then why asking what is Fisayo doing in eagles cuz I saw him involved in Osimhen goal against Benin.

Fisayo has just 4 caps with a goal but to you he has no business with eagles.

Thegoodjoe gave you honest opinion on Fisayo.

Pls is there any difference between goal participation and goal creation cuz here Ejuke had no goal participation.

You say tiki what? Tiki taka is creative, spontaneous, artistry, beautiful? Chineke God.
Have not been following international conversation where people are crying that tiki taka has killed football and diminished creativity in the game? What is beautiful about running and passing? Is that like playing not table tennis with legs?

Hmmmm you can decry the inability of our players to string passes but abeg leave out the poison of tiki taka from naija football.

And then again, this stringing of passes is something that for me requires the players to spend at least a solid one or two weeks together.

Ha you want Ejuke dropped for Chuckwueze?you dey find Oga Meli trouble….Oga Meli triple are Nwakali,Ejuke and Chuckwueze just that Nwakali dey fall Meli hand o……honestly Ejuke deserves call up and there is no need dropping Chuckwueze……I think Iheanacho or Boniface/Awoniyi should pave way for Ejuke.

jihday:
no he didn’t

oya na wikipedia go settle this one las las

Chukweze is good.
Both can be invited.

He kills the vibe. Whether we are winning or not, Nwabali likes to waste time. Not professional at all.

The art of time-wasting! While it may not be the most glamorous aspect of football, it's indeed a useful skill for goalkeepers to have, especially when their team is winning and wants to run down the clock....

Time-wasting techniques involves:

.⁠ ⁠Taking extra time to distribute the ball
⁠Delaying goal kicks and throw-outs
⁠Feigning injuries or cramp
⁠Engaging in conversations with the referee

it can be very effective , and the best way to manage a game tempo is to perfect this beautiful art .
not striking a balance is where i will fault Nwabali ,clever time management and blatant time-wasting, which can be seen as unsportsmanlike.
So, mastering the art of time-wasting, while staying within the bounds of fair play, can be a valuable asset for goalkeepers and their team.

@Dlaw , please appreciate Nwabali for having this beautiful skill. make him team mate no vex, we like am like that .

Gift Orban was part of Lyon training Friday morning after a proposed transfer to Turkish giants Trabzonspor fell through.
