TheGoodJoe:


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.

TheGoodJoe:
I don't think announcing Peseiro as coach is a good call at all. Few weeks to the AFCON? The guys should have gone to the AFCON with the mind set that if they play well for Eguavoen, he might retain the job and keep them in the team.

Now the players will go to the tournament with the mind set that Eguavoen is not their coach.

Pinnick is such a disaster. I wonder why some people come here to defend him.

somehow:
He has only managed a job for 2 years. The rest has been 1 year or less.

There was a time Nigerian players had the accolades if being top goal scorer in Europes top league and teams.

Ikpeba prince of Monaco
Yekini the lion king of the Portuguese league
Finidi Wing wizard
Taribo the Iron gate of Inter Milan
Kanu the Magician
Okocha no intro needed
Olise our own Pogba
Mikel
Yobo

To mention just a few

Nigerian players at this time played in the top teams of Europe and were respected.

Now look at were we are

Enthroning mediocrity in self deception to say we are improving and or outstanding. These were the days of overt and blatant racism but our player's thrived and overcame to succeed.

humility33:


I am so sure if you were to analyse the team then
With your prejudices and sentiments towards anything English you will criticize those guys as not good enough and will prefer League 1 players over them except few that are privileged to be in the EPL

SerVik:

Not even an issue of announcing, the whole appointment should have been done after the tournament. If you appoint him without making the announcement, it might backfire after the tournament cos imagine if Eguavoen wins the trophy then few days later a new coach is announced, you'll be the first person to criticize it.

TheGoodJoe:


Eguavoen likes a midfielder that can dictate play from deep with long balls. That is a natural skillset of Nwakali.

komekn:


And nobody else can do a long ball better than him in Nigeria. Are you joking

He is so good that he has remained in complete obscurity and mediocrity since he stopped playing youth football.

He is the lowest paid player in Huesca ,what does that tell you.

You can't be a lowly mouse in your league and all of a sudden become a Lion � in the SE.

The basis of selection can only be outstanding performance in club and league not historical accolades obtained at youth football 7/8 years ago. That's ludicrous.

komekn:


Sorry I understand truth can be bitter for some.

ChrisKels:


He would tell you how John Fashanu and Efan Ekoku were better than Yekini because they were in the EPL while Yekini was in the Portuguese league.

dijon:
Has he won any trophy before even when he had the luxury of time to prepare a team not to talk of now that everything about the team preparation and Nff is in turmoil. Guy Eguavoen can not win a tea cup. Just lower your expectation and enjoy the Afcon. Serious team that desire the trophy are in camp and have a well detailed program in place and those not in camp already just exited a tournament a week ago.

andrewbaba44:


Truth is bitter kill you there

It was not long ago when KC was Leicester city best player and you praised him with shame but now you are using lookman to diss him which is very stupid of you

Lookman is loved here ,if lookman was a naija born talent I am sure you would have let us know he flopped at Germany and can’t make it in England but you are quiet concerning that

I don’t really like going your useless way of talking down on players ,so because Ademola scored the winner against Liverpool means nacho is a bad player ?

TheGoodJoe:


So because of criticism, you will tell the players the man taking them to the tournament is not their head coach. Better to go with all ammunition to win the competition than sabotaging it because of criticism.

ChrisKels:
Can we all rest now?


"Ademola's switch has not been completed. I just spoke with him now.

"Ademola loves to play for Nigeria but his switch is taking time". - Amaju Pinnick

ChrisKels:


He would tell you how John Fashanu and Efan Ekoku were better than Yekini because they were in the EPL while Yekini was in the Portuguese league.

Why would you list an uncleared player in your provisional 40 man list and even send it to Caf? Also, in what village does it take over 2/3 years to switch a player nationality? Most of our African counterparts that had made a nationality switch only took few months…

komekn:


Actually Fash told me himself that he wasn't good enough for the SE, he was a physical kick and rush player with no finesse.

Efan was also a very good plsyyer but with more technical ability and finess but not better than Yekini.

The EPL was not as good as it now then .

So your assumptions are once again very wrong.

And yes I know both of these ex players, which you may find difficult to believe.

andrewbaba44:
See Chelsea wey wan win epl and Jorginho wey be ballon d escorter

Bissouma wan kill their midfield

Kudos to tuchel for using a team that kante is the only world class player there to win the champions league ,just negodu Hudson odoi ,fraud of a player ,that guy no even reach chukwueze

komekn:


Chei I don't what you have been drinking.

We absolutely do not have one world class player in our team.

However, we could win just like Zambia did some years ago.

humility33:


Hudson is a big fraud

Who wins a match with those English rejects Berkeley,loftus cheek and Hudson...
Tuchel is not a serious coach at all

Hudson that Southgate rarely cares if he exist

Dude is a waste and bang ave rage player

Ademola's switch started last month, and he got named with hope that the switch will have come through before the tournament proper. We did same with Moses and Aina during World cup qualifiers. It is no rocket science, so quit ranting

dijon:
No negative effect on the team, the boys know and they are aware that he is a fidiye (interim) coach. They will play for the badge bro.
