Don't know if that would have made a difference really. Mendy kept goal when Algeria beat them 1-0 in the group stage.

tbaba1234:


Yet, you are fined or arrested for failure to have that drivers certification.

People spend years to obtain certification so as to become coaches. Yet, you appoint someone with no basic training??

A good experienced player does not make a good coach, either. Those are two different spheres.

Disrespect?? Do you employ people with no qualifications or experience to your jobs??

There are Nigerians who are experienced professionals, but who have also spent years, sweat and money to become certified coaches. You do not receive that knowledge because you played the game.

TheSuperNerd:
I hope for double digits too but realistically, let us hope he gets enough game time too. I just want the lad to impress enough to earn a permanent deal. I want to believe he will get chances to show what he can do as he boasts a different style and profile to the other Koln strikers. He is the tallest and most gigantic among them so that could see the coach utilise him as a target man weapon when brought on. Time will tell.

BascoVanVeli:



What do we have? Players who don't play at that position for their club thats what.

Iheanacho wasn't given the chance. They converted him from day one.

U are trying to drag the NPFL into this discussion when nobody as mentioned an NPFL player yet. The fact is we have no true AMF on the team because if we did they would play there for their club even if it was once in a while

Philosopher1979:


Maradona was a good player but a bad coach. Coaching and playing are two different things. Some level of certification is needed.
Besides a rookie like Yobo should not handle the Super Eagles. He can start with the junior team or a local club side.

Icon4s:


How are you so sure of this? Which of their teams have you watched lately?

andrewbaba44:


Smiles ,I was so happy for nacho last season because he still managed to score despite the little game time

I will still call it average at least not below average which can be tagged as someone who have a bad season like ujah and some few others

Maybe if nacho had scored like 15 goals then I will go with the above average

He scored 10 goals in all competition na ? If na 5 goals he score dem go call am below average that’s why I can’t see 10 goals more than being average

Dominic iorfa jnr wanted by Watford

I wonder why they seem to have dropped interest in a proven player from Seria A.

TheSuperNerd:
It wowed Rohr. It earned him a NT recall. Nacho was outstanding for Leicester even after the Covid break. So how was his "good season" an average one?? I don't care that you agree with anyone but it doesn't alter the fact that Nacho had an above average season in 2019/2020. You guys are only trying to be conservative with the truth b'cos of the backlash Nacho has gotten in here for the past two seasons before 2019/2020 thus don't wanna appear as one of those who are "hyping". The truth is the truth. Nacho was above average last season. Full Stop!

I passed my driving test in the UK after one lesson ( I studied the theory on my own) and passed at first attempt.

There were many of my Nigerian brethren who attempted up to 7 times before they could pass.

What is experience knowledge by participative application.

The better the arena, organisation and or placement the experience is gained from , the more valued that experience. And you could say better quality application as well.

Thats why your first place of employment will define to a large extent your degree ad infinitum.

I expand if you trained to be a chef and your first job is at the Ritz Paris, you have given yourself high level value. If your first job is at Mr Biggs then you have given yourself identity at that level.

If you studied Chemistry but worked at Goldman Sachs ( investment banking group) and become an investment analyst, your career is literally defined in the high elite income bracket of the world.

If you studied Finance and Economics but worked for Oredo local government council, your career is defined at the level.

I know about coaching badges in England's Scotland and the requirements to get them. It is not problematic and from my perspective very simple.

For Yobo to get a placement at Everton and get his badges will take him 6 months or thereabouts, in most cases EPL players are given lots of discretion and it's just a matter of fulfilling all righteousness.

So tell me what local coaches know in Nigeria that he Yobo doesn't know and can probably school them on.

I remember years ago when some Nigeria internationals were appalled at the low level and understanding of the coaches. They offered to get a defensive coach from the EPL at thier own expense. Of course the NFF coaches did not like the idea.

Be realistic, there is knowledge by association the higher that association the better the knowledge, understanding and application.

elyte89:



Lol > ...dis ur stand sounds like u want to force ur opinion on nacho having above average season down to our throat


As for me...he had a "poor" season...kan arrest me

maidaboi:
Taiwo Awoniyi start

BascoVanVeli:



Well I would hope Mendy wouldn't just stand and hope that ball was going over the bar.

komekn:

daveP:
Im not so sure about this, but the fact that they aren't high in demand is what i hinge my opinion on. After many many years. And if they actually are, we'd simply hear about it regularly. I might be proven wrong, but that's my stance.

He starts from the bench today while Awoniyi starts for Union Berlin

Them say he get coro

TheSuperNerd:
Lol... Maybe, maybe not. We really can't say as he didn't keep goal. But he is Senegal's first choice when fit. Algeria did it against Senegal regardless of who was in goal in the group stage and in the final so we really can't say.

Icon4s:


Well, I wish you really know what coaching is all about especially at Youth stage.

For those age grade categories you don't need coaches who are "In high demand"(or whatever description you give it).

Scouting and coaching players at cadet level is different from Coaching at Senior level, be it Club or country. Why do you think most if not all our former youth coaches have never done well when they coach the Super Eagles? They are two different ball games.

We have certain coaches that specialize in coaching at Youth level. In Nigeria some of them also coach NPFL teams just to keep going.

Likewise ask Rohr to assemble for us our next U17 team and watch how he will fail woefully.

I know a lot of peeps were hoping to see likes Finidi George and or Joseph Yobo on the list of our new Youth coaches. For those ones, time will tell.

Coaches Bosso and Amao are no new comers to coaching at youth level. Let's give them this chance.
