Odunayaw: Why is your question bordering on an already answered point? I typed clearly. That the PLAYERS WILL FEEL HE MIGHT CONTINUE AS COACH AND WANT TO IMPRESS HIM. Does that not show they know he is interim? So why are you asking if they know his interim when I clearly stated it? |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 8:24pm On Dec 29, 2021 |
kingphilip: That is why the NFF should be doing everything to prevent any chance of misbehavior. Especially when they themselves complained about poor attitude in camp under Rohr. |

Jose Periero? Amajuju is a clown.. Appointing Eguaveon is gonna be his first biggest mistake.. The clown called Eguaveon came and started acting like a drunk.. Imagine the trash list.. We will wonder why the likes of Eze, Olise will not want to play for us. The way we run our national team is a joke. Running it like the coaches collects bribes... You switch players like Akpoguma, Lookman, Ejaria, and you ditch them for clearly inferior players for certain agendas. You will reap what you sow. Second mistake is appointing a proper 61 year old journey man who lost 8 matches as coach of Porto in 22 games.. Baba only last one year anywhere he goes.. Lagerback pro max. Smh 6 Likes 3 Shares |

TheGoodJoe: This happens fairly often in international and club football and while I see why you may be concerned, an argument can also be made about the players auditioning for the new coach as well. Any player that deliberately performs poorly at AFCON will do themselves no favours in the eyes of the new coach Examples of coaches whose players knew for sure that there relationship was on an interim basis or only has a short life span are 1. Philippe Scolari (2008) - Chelsea announced his appointment while he was still coaching Portugal in Euros 2008 2. Hiddink (2009) - "Chelsea confirmed on 11 February 2009 that Hiddink would become Scolari's replacement until the end of the season, whilst continuing his duties with Russia" 3. Hiddink (2016) - He was appointed in an interim capacity after Mourinho's sack 4. Conte(2016) - He was announced as Chelsea's coach months before Euro 2016 and Italy's performance did not appear to have been affected even though his role in the team could now be considered "interim" More recently , Hansi Flick announced he was leaving Bayern Munich while the bundesliga still had a month to run 3 Likes 1 Share |

komekn: Check the below article to see what Chriskels is saying, particularly the last paragraph of the sections in bold ( not that I expect you will take time to understand what it says, but this should at least let some others see the full picture) [s] [/s] England Under 20 World Cup Hero Set To Switch Allegiance To Nigeria Tom Fenton Published 15:54, 05 November 2021 GMT | Last updated 19:26, 05 November 2021 GMT England Under 20 World Cup Hero Set To Switch Allegiance To Nigeria England youth standout Ademola Lookman is hoping to switch his international allegiance to Nigeria, as prospects of an England call-up diminish. The Leicester City youngster, who previously played for the likes of Charlton, Everton and RB Leipzig, was born in the UK, but he is eligible to play for Nigeria on account of his parents. Lookman represented England at U19, U20 and U21 level, with the undisputed highlight of his time in the junior ranks being 2017's U-20 World Cup triumph. The 24-year-old starred in the tournament alongside the likes of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Fikayo Tomori, netting three goals en-route to the final. Things have been more turbulent at club level since then, although the 20/21 campaign was something of a breakthrough for Lookman, as he made 34 Premier League appearances for Fulham in their ultimately fateful attempt to avoid relegation. However, that campaign was enough to convince Leicester City to take a chance on the pacey winger, who has already scored twice for his new club this season. With Gareth Southgate currently spoilt for choice when it comes to high-qualify wingers and forwards, even if Lookman does continue to impress under Brendan Rodgers, a call-up to England's senior squad is still highly unlikely. Just yesterday we saw the likes of Jadon Sancho, Emile Smith-Rowe and Mason Greenwood all missing out on his latest 23-man World Cup qualifier squad, which once again highlights the depth England have in attack. Previously, the wide-man turned down three official approaches from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to represent the African nation instead. Speaking in 2020, Lookman stated: "I've not changed my mind [on wanting to represent England] but I'm open, and it's good to have different opportunities." One year on, the player appears to have had a change of heart. BBC Sport reports that Lookman has officially began the process to switch allegiances to Nigeria, where opportunities to play regular international football will be more readily available. It could turn out to be a lengthy process, as Lookman's appearances for England's junior sides complicate matters somewhat - meaning he will have to wait a bit longer to make his debut for the Super Eagles. NFF chief scout Tunde Adelakun told the BBC: "We are aware of Lookman's desire to play for us and I have spoken to him as well. However, there is a process to it." "After this process, then comes the consideration and decision of the head coach [Rohr] on whether or when he deems it fit to get him involved." source: https://www.sportbible.com/football/news-england-u20-world-cup-winner-wants-to-switch-allegiance-to-nigeria-20211105 |

Cburke: Team cohesion my foot. Instead of calling up Ejaria, Yusuf, Nwobodo, Onyedika, Dele Bashiru they are busy recalling Ighalo and making sure that useless Musa has a place on the team.. As if 7 strikers will ever set foot on the pitch. Meanwhile in a squad of 28 we have 4 actual midfielders..(Ndidi, Nwakali, Onyeka, Aribo) One of them is a rookie playing in the 2nd division. Onyeka and Aribo will be joining late..But don't worry we have 7 strikers ready to score goals with nobody playing behind them. These guys are a joke. We will be badly exposed. 5 Likes 1 Share |

tglobal: The point is the effect on the team. You can argue that they will want to prove themselves to the new manager but the genuine message is that Eguavoen is not coach. Which is not the message to send before the competition when Eguavoen is leading them to the competition. |

Joezinho: Like I said, Rohr understood the ideology of keeping a team together. A national team with barely weeks to prepare but duly loves one another. It makes life easier for the coach to work with. Take a look at inter. New players were either old faces or new, hungry ones. Partly due to debt, but still, them love each other. And this faces from last season want the same goal. Iv broken it down Abi? It's not misplaced hope, but as a patriotic Nigerian, I think it was the safer choice of picks |

Hanibal: Lookman is a winger and he has played 8 games scored three goals in the EPL this season. KC is a striker ,false 9 , forward player, not sure really but he can't play wing . He has played 14 games and scored 3 goals. From the moment Ademola comes on he changes the game and gets the winning goal against Liverpool. He was outstanding beating his man Trent several times. That's just being ,matter of fact. Where is the supposed over hype and gassing of Nigerian origin players developed outside of Nigeria. You are just blatantly prejudiced. 1 Like |
