I think this team does better with Osimhen on the pitch.
He coordinates the press, shouts at other team mates and makes them play with more urgency
Unfortunately, it was a little too late today

Rwanda will be waiting for us in March, and sadly, they have a psychological edge over us right now..

AE should continue
If we bring in a new coach at all, it should be after the world cup qualifiers

Goke7:


That substitution was an error. Yusuf was doing well

Exactly

Yemyke:
As for me AE should continue but with an intelligent assistant. Calling another coach now is not the solution. The players were also non challant. You could see it in them

Thank you
Nigerians now will roast the innocent man

lbrichman2:


Debatable
Though I know why you say so..

Yusuf intercepted lots of passes. He would not have allowed those few flow at the middle

We didn't need a messiah. We needed a coach/manager who didn't just "know" the boys. But a coach who knows "what to do with the boys" and identify where we needed upgrades, tweaks or reinforcements.. Amuneke was that guy. His tactical ID is not a joke.

So dear Dave, it is not a messiah I was presenting. I was presenting a solution that I just knew would work. Amuneke doesn't even know about my existence same way many of the lads I speak about don't know about me. But what cannot hide after carefully studying a problem and seeking solution is insight.


We had a choice that was to decide our fate for the next few years. A choice that would either see us build on the Afcon2023 showing or destroy it.

Leave Peseiro as he was. Let us drown or fly with him. OR Appoint a coaching upgrade be it local or foreign and the best bet from the locals was definitely Amuneke.

daveP:
Nerdie, I don't see any way EA would have impacted this team in all sincerity. He's no messiah. He doesn't bring any vote of confidence in me personally, not even his style.

opes:
Eguaveon just ruined his chance and chances of local coaches. No team play, only individual
brilliance of Chuckwueze got us the goal. Boniface is not just it, Ekong exposed, he needs Bassey to cover for him, Okoye could not take the chance, Onyeka playing like farmer..for me, I miss Zaidu
Thank you Libya for the Greek gift, we may not have defeated them at home..

well, that's one side of the mountain. Dont forget that the match originally is a dead rubber match. I think I disagree with most of what you wrote. Truth is SE dont have a fixed philosophy. Its always changing like party manifesto. Every in coming coach wants to put his own ideas into the team. Thus they keep changing philosophies, players and approach. Whereas what matters the most as I always harp on is Team Chemistry!!!!!

We will never get it when its all about the next best thing. I wonder who we go invite again. We don try Osho now , eye don clear. When and where will the chemistry happen? Gone are the days when Westerhof will field half home based and we go still dey alright. Now na top 5 leagues. I rest

Na Watin una deserve when una too overhype players then end up blaming the coach 🤣

is that not why AE should have been more careful?

If we struggle at home how can we win away, even in neutral venues we are struggling.

Seun is your solution to our coaching dilemma. While I presented Amuneke since before you all happily welcomed Finidi George and the SE job.

At least, we both know between us both who is being serious.

princeabdul:
" Amuneke kor Keke maruwa ni.. It will be better they give the job to seun rather than Amuneke.

opes:
NFF should better get Pedro Gonçalves, He is the best coach in Africa presently.

I don't know why this guy is so highly rated on here but if u guys are sure he's the best man for the Eagles job just shout it from the rooftop.

Let the social media space be awashed with is name till it enters NFF's consciousness just the same way u guyz wanted Renard.

And the wailing begins in 1,2,3......

Exactly my thoughts too

What happened to Dele Bashiru, I had so much hope on that guy.
Osayi has not done anything in SE.
Iheanacho's best is in the past.
Ekong, a good player, but those long passes are not working and must be stopped because its giving our opponents undue build up advantage.

Best performers;
Bruno, Simon, Onyedika and Osho

Thank God for the free points that Libya gave us, that's all I can say for now.

I watched South African match against Uganda and I can say this for sure, With Eguavoen in charge of this team, there's no way we will qualify for WC.

We missed the chance to appoint a good local and foreign coach, but let's see how the NFF responds to this embarrassment.

typicalgamer:

Most of our players are average aside Osimhen, Lookman Simon and maybe chuks. Boni is not as good as I thought surprisingly

Ofcos. I agree. Let the ongoing arrangement continue. Let AE finish what he has started with a break from his technical director role.

It is already too late to do what should have been rightly done before Finidi or before we even let JPes go.

Let Eguavoen continue. Whether we qualify for the WC or not, let him finish the WCQs. The NFF just can't be trusted to make smart decisions these days regarding substantive coaches.

I don't mean to make things worse but where are the people who said Eguavoen was better than Rohr? They said Eguavoen could not lose to a small team at home just like Rohr lost to C.A.R, but please, what just happened now? 🤣😆😂🤣😂


We get luck say CAF been dash us three points because of what Libya did, if not, there's absolutely no chance in hell that we would have defeated Libya on Libyan soil. Impossicant, definitely not with the way we've played so far.


Thank God I did not waste my precious fuel on this nonsense.

Boni is good but he needs someone to unlock him, draw attention away from him let him do his thing

Chukwueze don break my trust since 2022 I no really rate am again

Osimehn, mola nobody else absolutely nobody else

I don’t know how ihenacho makes the squad I need his luck 🍀 for sure

Are you saying he knows alllll the boys? I don't like that his name always pops up everytime we take a dive. That's what gives him as the local coach that's a messiah, "someone that can save a team from a persisting predicament" but i know you already know that. For him to settle down and do what all his pro-EA keep saying he's capable of, the WCQ will have ended and i can't even risk another miss overall. You keep saying it will work, but i don't see it. Many of us don't see it either. What makes him better than the options available, foreign managers inclusive?

Jpes fired up this team to a height never seen since Covid. We didn't even need much tactically. In comparison, i can't see AE having same impact on this current team. Not now. He can prove me wrong tomorrow no doubt.

As for Boni, you wan unlock am by now?

One of my guys says he plays like he tweets. I don't focus on all that, but guy hasn't taken advantage of the minutes he got mehn. Disappointed.

You know, playing for Lazio doesn't make you a world beater. Some players have the luck in career progression to be honest.

Right from when I saw Fisayo Dele-Bashiru play, I knew what kind of midfielder he was. He doesn't have that creative aura. E no dey him legs. He doesn't think or play or moves his body like a creator.

His playing profile and on pitch body language is to receive a pass, find the nearest easy pass and he tries to run into space in advanced areas to receive again so that he can use his Ball striking to great effect.

Fisayo has a powerful shot in him, but he is not your Iwobi deputy. He cannot create like Iwobi because he doesn't have the onfield vision and pausa of a consistent chance creator. What a poor interpretation of the role he had today.


Fisayo >>> Iwobi in Ball Striking

But Iwobi >>>>>>>>>> Fisayo in everything else required from an advanced midfield player.

Ppogbae:
WC ticket is gone. Removal of Peseiro was the death of this team's rise. That man took us all the way to finals when everyone doubted us.

Why remove a system that was clearly working for everyone?

Peseiro won't take us to the world cup.

It's better all these things are happening now so you can wake up, smell the coffee before it's March.
I said it here last 2 months; Eguaveon won't qualify this team to WC.
NFF had an array of tactical to chose from
But they were money conscious and decided to go for the cheapest one.

Short version we haven’t had a creative midfielder since the last time we won afcon THE END

His name has always been there even before we hit this rock-bottom again. TheGoodJoe and I always discussed his name while JPes was in the job. And even just when we discovered JPes was leaving after the Impressive Afcon silver showing.

And again, the same way you don't see Amuneke having the impact I know he will have is the same way many here were excited for Finidi when he got the job. I only offered support in the end but I was never convinced about Finidi even before Day 1 and I was proven right.

Dave, I can't convince anyone here but I just know what I know. Time has a way of proving my carefully observed takes, right. And it's not an ego thing. It's just that I love Nigerian football so much that I have invested time into studying enough to make me know what I know.

In conclusion, Let us deal with the Eguavoen show first. He is the one at the wheel and I would rather he finishes it whether worse or better before a genuine talk over who should properly head the team emerges (that's if the NFF doesn't have in mind already to appoint a foreigner by or before March).

We won’t have been poor with the games we had finidi as coach especially with the afcon momentum but Finidi wanted to experiment and here we are.

Both Finidi and AE has made matters worse for local coaches. I don’t even want to see any ex eagles player as coach near the national team again. Na wash

I miss the Enyeama/Osaze/Mikel Obi era... those guys were constantly barraged and short-changed by the worst NFF admins probably in our history; yet they ALWAYS played with sheer passion/guts and delivered when it mattered. We don't have warriors anymore, we just have X banger boys.

When TheGoodJoe said before today that he is not even bothered with the Super Eagles anymore these days, I didn't know he already saw today's result.

My good man, so you saw the future and did not warn us in here. Kaaaaiii.. it is well.

Bro, please... Peseiro is the reason why our world cup qualification hope is hanging in the balance in the first place...
Because he took us to the AFCON semis with haram football doesn't mean he would achieve more if he had continued... We saw the limitations of his style of play in that final against CIV... Once CIV took the lead, we looked clueless..

Fisayo Bashiru
Osayi Samuel
Burno were few outstanding players in today's game.
Osho proved his worth and probably will get called in subsequent games.
Yusuf, Dele-Bahiru and Onyedika held the midfield. Unfortunately, we had weak strikers who couldn't break their opponents' defense.

Players who are capable of taking this team to the next level are not on this setup. You can't have clinical AMs like Chuba Akpom and still be struggling in the final 3rd.

Super eagles will do well with AE.... What those guys need is the right attitude . you can must have a winning mentality at all time
