Is Oliseh Ndah 16 years old?
C'mon we are talking of akpo and bassey who still have like 8 years to give to the super eagles compare to your Ndah

I will research to see if he truly has the featured VILLAGEBUS said he possess if not....

TheGoodJoe:


Which winning DNA did the Super Eagles have in the last five years not to give a damm about other factors that can affect the team?

As I said, Eguavoen has already made some drastic changes to suit his philosophy. He can not push it too far few weeks to a major tournament.

His appointment came too late. He has to work with what is on ground to have a good tournament.

The trouble with most fans on this thread Is that they are insatiable. No matter how good the intentions of the interim coach is, they will still find faults. There is no doubt the NFF is to blame for the belated sack of Rohr and the late/poor preparedness of the SE in the upcoming Afcon but at this point blaming and wailing should not be the issue. Eguavoen needs all our support at this time. If the SE wins the AFCON or ends up in second place, the current agitation by the NFF for a foreign coach will be put to rest.
However I will find fault with Eguavoen if he fields our starting 11 with the likes of Simeon, Iheanacho, Musa, Collins, Shehu, Ekong or even Akpeyi.

Astrid4:




What's his philosophy?
Someone that has not played a match and here you are talking about philosophy...same stupid philosophy that's could secure U-23 Olympic ticket same philosophy that made him played 3 match in Olympic qualifications lost 2 matches
Have you asked what's his CVs are
Coaching badges ?
You're just been prejudicial here bro
Yet you couldn't spare tunde Adelakun because he has no coaching badge
Yet we don't even know your Austin coaching badge
His CV so far shows how tactically deficient he is yet you're comparing his decisions with the likes of genius like Mancini.

TheGoodJoe:


Tell me how many black European born coaches can manage top clubs. It is not ambition. Blacks lack opportunities for football in Europe. That is why the likes of us are supporting Viera to change the narrative. So if Black Europeans find it difficult, how do you think Nigerians can just claim jobs in Europe.

How many blacks do you see in VAR rooms in the EPL? Let alone coaching.

mkrest:



For me,the question is why call up people surplus to requirements when other departments need re-enforcement

Danielnino00:


Which Olympics are u talking about?

It was Imama not Eguavon that took charge of that Olympics team

Astrid4:


So you're telling me ndubuisi egbo and Eddie Newton of Trabzonspor are white men
Eddie Newton was an assistant coach for Chelsea for years before moving to turkey
Oliseh had the chance to be a top manager at the eredivise and blew it up
Seyi olofinjina is currently one of the age grade coaches of Wolverhampton same with finidi George...if you're Good you're good there are opportunities of for black coaches in Europe on the basics of pure competence...Theirry Henry coached Monaco even our own emenalo was the sporting director for Chelsea for years...stop all these bullocks and face the truth.

TheGoodJoe:
First of all, if for instance, a coach prefers having a player that makes runs with the ball into spaces, and that player plays in the PSL, are you saying the coach should not use the player to play a bundesliga star who does not make runs with the ball?

If the player does not fit the coach's philosophy or lacks the skillset he wants, you can not force it on the coach.

The philosophy is king.

Astrid4:


Has he played apkoguma for him to know that face he can't fit into his philosophy apkoguma is a stopper similar with player like Ekong, omerou and awaziem he had better season that this trio...if he doesn't deserve to be in the squad then this trio has no place in the team
And here you're talking about philosophy
What's his philosophy you're talking about the likes of genius like Mancini we knows what his style is, the whole world know how much of a genius he is...trying to use Mancini's decision to justify a coach with no coaching badge like Eguavoen it very STUPID the likes of Mancini, Luis Enrique, Guardiola are gods in what they do.

TheGoodJoe:


Are you reading what you are typing? You could only list a handful and one is an age grade coach. Yet we have whites flooding all the top leagues, lower leagues, junior Leagues, academy leagues.

There are some things that you should not debate. The unfairness of black and African coaches is too much.

TheGoodJoe:


One of the things coaches try to establish in coaching school is the philosophy they will adapt to. It is the basic of coaching.

So a coach does not have to be Mancini who is quite brilliant. Heard his coaching badge thesis was on another level. But, a coach does not need to be as brilliant as Mancini to have his philosophy.

Then selection of players is aligned to it.

If Ndah brings a different skillset that the other players don't have, we can not criticise the manager.

Astrid4:


Tell me the philosophy of Eguavoen
His coaching badge
The coaching academy he went to.

Astrid4:


I know the fact there is not much of black coaches in top European clubs but it not a matter of racial prejudices or biasness it all comes down to competence.
The likes of viera, Eddie Newton,henry et Al got their chances cos of the fact they're competent not because they're black or white...simple!!

Go and watch Eguavoen's tactical philosophy video and understand his line of thinking.

TheGoodJoe:


Oliseh did not blow anything. He lost his job because he refused to compromise his integrity. That was a match fixing operation gone wrong because Oliseh refused to play ball and took it public.

lovewins:


At best, you have a simplistic perspective on the subject. While racial prejudice may primarily not be the reason for the handful of black coaches around the world, unconscious bias could be. Bias dictate who and who doesn't get opportunities which ultimately affects success rate.

Statistics matter you know. Increase Africa's participation at the world cup to the exact number Europe gets and our chances of winning automatically increases. It was viola Davis that said after winning the Emmy "'In my mind, I see a line. And over that line, I see green fields and lovely flowers and beautiful white women with their arms stretched out to me over that line. But I can't seem to get there no how. I can't seem to get over that line.' That was Harriet Tubman in the 1800s. And let me tell you something: The only thing that separates women of colour from anyone else is opportunity. You cannot win an Emmy for roles that are simply not there".

Until increased opportunities come, the chances of success will be low

jihday:
huh! Are you serious? You are comparing a player playing in South Africa to another one playing in Germany, South Africa!!!!!!!!?? ??

Astrid4:



All this one nah shalaye as far as am concern
I don't wanna see a man talking about his own philosophy I will deduce from his style of playing to know his philosophy
And for real I will like to know the coaching badge he hold to be able to get the SE job,
Paul aigbogun has a UEFA A LICENSE went for a refresher coaching course in England can the same be said about Austin?
On what tutelage was Austin under?; we both know Boas was under Robson tutelage for years as a video analyst for years same with the like of Graham Potter of Brighton he is inspired by the like of Guardiola thus make his style very distinctive these are what I need to know !!!
No this trash.

TheGoodJoe:


Ndah is not mine. I am just explaining reasons why a coach can choose a player from a low-rated team over players playing in popular clubs.

By the way, you are not sure if Bassey and Akpoguma offer the skillset Eguavoen wants over Ndah. You don't know. Remember Yobo and Omeruo. There was no comparison in status but Keshi preferred Omeruo.

Astrid4:


All this are speculations he was doing well enough with fortuna sittard before he was sacked...even fortuna is now in the eredivise doing well also so far there has not been issues with the new coach
Let's leave oliseh and go to Thierry Henry you think he was right to call a player's grandmother a "LovePeddler"
Are you for real?

TheGoodJoe:


You call it thrash because you did not watch it. It was a very educative video. I learnt a lot while you are calling it thrash.

Either way, I am more interested in philosophy and coaching pattern than breaking my head with CV. If it is by CV Paul Aighogun would have won laurels for us

Karlovych:
Another reason why a player can be chosen from a poor league is due to bribery or dubious agents, it's not new to the Nigerian system.

Absolute rubbish.

Or due to preference. When Rohr called Okoye from lower leagues to the Super Eagles, why did you not shout Bribery?

TheGoodJoe:


Are you saying black coaches have half or a quarter of a fifth of the opportunities of white coaches? If they don't, you are arguing off point.

TheGoodJoe:


If it is by CV, Guardiola would not have beaten Alex Ferguson in the Champions League Final.
