TheGoodJoe:


What is kids? It is a thing about mentality. Their first mind at is, what about the second?

Or are you saying players do not play to impress their coaches and it is only kids that do so?

Meliforme:


This is the first time i am hearing that Ejuke's positional discipline is very poor.
Please tell me how you made the inference.

Odunayaw:
You're the one that brought up impressing coach. Tell us why they should play to impress their coach not represent coach

TheGoodJoe:


The announcement was a wrong call. It should have waited after the tournament. Sorry, you can not defend Pinnick on this.

TheGoodJoe:


Tuchel was interim. The players played their hearts out for him.

This is basic footie logic.

Odunayaw:
Sorry, it is only your opinion.

Odunayaw:
Huh?

TheGoodJoe:


What are you talking represent Coach.

I repeat, it is basic. You do any thing to raise players morale.

It is simple. The announcement that Peseiro is the new coach before the tournament tells the player that Eguavoen is not their coach.

This is a fact you can not bend.

kingphilip:

I read the clubs have agreement with CAF to release players by 3rd at most especially those league having tough fixtures around this period.

So even if the camp starts, I'm not sure we will see too many faces until the 3rd sha

Odunayaw:
Group match against Egypt

Iheanacho whispering to Ejuke
"no too stress yourself, you know say no be our coach. Peseiro de come"

yeah bro. Make I remind Uzoho too

TheGoodJoe:


Yes. If you don't die for Tuchel, you stand a chance of losing your place. You raise players morale.

This is too basic. I am not even suppose to debate it

TheGoodJoe:


It is not my opinion. It is a fact.

TheGoodJoe:


Attacking me is just trying to deviate from the point.

In Manchester City, as soon as they announced Guardiola was taking over from Pellegrini, the moral of the team fell. Evey time the players walked into the pitch or he spoke to them, the mindset was that he was not their manager.

In this case, it is a three weeks tournament. After the tournament, announce whatever you want.

Instead, eleven days to the tournament, you are telling the players the person taking you is not your manager.

Cburke:


Chai, see reasoning. So you feel say osimhen wey carry broken jaw come Na to come catch cruise ba? Abi Iheanacho wey dey find point to prove.. abegi

forgiveness:


NFF deliberately appointed a coach before the AFCON because in eventuality Eguavoen wins it, it will be difficult to appoint a Foreign coach, this is what NFF is trying to avoid.

TheGoodJoe:


I am expecting some drastic surprises. I think passing ability will play a big part. Ndah might breakthrough because of his short passing skill.

I am also digging the free 8s role which I see Nacho and Nwakali making it.

drDoom3:


In South Africa? No he is not.

As a striker, yes, it is possible to be in an obscure league and still be able to compete. As a defender, you need crucial experience playing with the best strikers regularly to really hone your game. CC Ekong, he looked decent in Italy and Turkey, but when he came to the prem and met strikers like Salah and Sterling, guy couldn't match up. Some of the mistakes he has been making would have been eased out of his game much earlier in his career if he started playing guys like Salah and Sterling when he was much younger.

Ndah may look good playing against strikers from Kwara United and Orlando Pirates, but what happens when he starts an AFCON match and he has to mark Mahrez or Haller or Salah? Will he still be the real deal?

seankafor:
Some people opinion can cause stomach ache

Players on bonus and salaries will deviate from their main job which they re paid for and which to accumulate stats and accolades, undermining it because a coach is interim
Which school of thought dey give people some kind reasoning sef

Odunayaw:
Tell Goodjoe that thinks the players have suddenly become demoralized because a new coach was named

You see how dry it sounds?

Odunayaw:
They were owed bonus and salaries yet they grinded out results but suddenly they'd be crying to their mummies because a new coach was announced

He said it is fact. Awuzubillahi

ChrisKels:


Remember Eguavoen has coached Ndah before, and he knows him better. Eguavoen was their coach to that Mexico friendly but unfortunately, he was denied an entry visa to USA

BOOOMNAIJA:


The guy na mumu

Possible but highly unlikely.

Godfrey Obuabona says HELLO!!!!!!

yeah bro. Make I remind Uzoho too

Cburke:



Truth be told, I know they will want to prove a point. They may not win this AFCON (keyword: may), but I know they'll play their hearts out for Nigeria, not Mr Augustine or Egbon Pinnick.

nelszx:

What Ndidi played today is replica of Ndah kind of play. Hopefully he plays well during AFCON and bench Ekong

BOOOMNAIJA:


Guy, do u reason at all before making comment or u are just a mumu naturally.
