As much as we all agree that Eguavoen could have done better the circumstances of the match especially in the second half will test the best of managers anywhere in the world. How can you as a coach legislate for your goalkeeper conceding a silly goal early in the 2nd half effectively destroying your half time team talk. Yes before the goal we weren't playing well however it wasn't exactly panic stations yet. Again the coach made a sound substitution removing KC who was on a yellow for an experienced Iwobi how is it the coaches fault that the ref decided to send Alex off harshly wouldn't that have further dented any tactical plan? We can criticize the coach but let's be fair and take into perspective the peculiar circumstances that he faced. Pep that is one of the best coaches in the world hardly performs magic when his teams are one goal down and playing with 10 men. TheGoodJoe: 5 Likes 1 Share |

And he's NFF's chief scout.. ![]() I also think it's wrong for a country fighting endemic corruption to have an assistant coach that was busted for collecting bribe have a real job coaching as assistant coach of the SE..

TheGoodJoe: Yes, what i typed is my perception, because i have seen failure and success to identify when someone is on the wrong route or on the right one, although my learning is progressive. How splendid was his on field performance judging from the calibre of players he is coordinating and the quality of the opposition he faced. We are talking about Egypt, Sudan, and Guinea Bissau, not Belgium, France nor England Against Egypt we were Just lucky to win with a lone goal. Our wins were also partly due to what i term the new coach syndrome. We faced a well coached Tunisia who were quicker at making decisions and lost. Mr TheGoodJoe, this is a coaching problem. Individual brilliances got us far. How do you see our passes and coordination as a team. Little wonder no player of ours made the team of the group stages, emphasis is on teamwork. Forget about the thrills, we were a poorly coached side. When i saw our lineup against Egypt, especially the tactical setup, I knew we wont go far, but i said maybe it's just against Egypt, then i saw the lineup again and again. You are a football analyst, and a sound analyst at that. Please tell me how appropriate is a 4 2 2 2, 4 4 1 1 or 4 4 2 tactical formation given the kind of players we have. How suitable is it? How good is our composition of play, our long balls from defense to the wings, and the concomitant off tangent crosses? We are a poorly coached side. There is no fear factor with us. Tunisians outsmarted us with a depleted squad and showed us how deficient and rigid we are in tactics. Eguavoen is part of the technical crew, the players are not new to him. Telling us he spent sleepless nights to pick his players shows a deficiency. To me it might be political, and a way to excuse a future failure. I said it is a loser mentality. A loser starts making excuses with his efforts even before he finally meets with failure. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Oasis001:If that match had entered penalties (which was Tunisia's desire cos they deliberately snuffed out some of the counter attacking opportunities they had), it would have been less painful. But my God, what kind of keeper is Maduka. As in straight direct ball (which I believe was the first time they had a shot on target) played by Tunisia ended inside our net. That means if the defense had not been solid through all the other 3 matches we would have been conceding goals? Where I began to have profound doubt about Maduka is the match against Sierra Leone. Every goal bound ball Sierra Leone directed at him ended inside the net. No saves, nada! It's a mystery to me how such a well built guy who is the first choice GK at his club, cannot evoke confidence when he's manning the sticks for us. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Meliforme: First, Eguavoen is part of the Technical Committee, not the technical crew. These are two different things. Secondly, when you talk team work, formation, etc. You are talking of preference. However, Coach Eguavoen has a different perspective of the game. It is a pure offensive one but we used it to full effect. That is down to him and his tactical acumen. He also brought a clear improvement of players. Eguavoen is not for the glamor of possessive football. He wants it fast, direct and decisive. We saw it in full action in the four games. When you are talking tactical flexibility, in the game against Tunisia, he showed it to the extreme. Finally, saying we won by a lone goal against Egypt means you are only quantifying football by just the goal scored when football is far bigger than that. It was debated extensively here and we totally outplayed the Egyptians. So despite all your preferences, Eguavoen did it his way and gave a good account of himself. Finito. 2 Likes |

Parrot69: He was short of strikers, but he has Iheanacho, Sadiq, Taiwo, These players are prolific, or do you think they are not? He has been part of the technical crew and shouldn't be short of ideas. The man at the sidelines for the Tunisians, was the Tunisian assistant coach, not even the main coach and the Tunisians still carried the day. Concerning Chukwueze. Playing an inverted winger as a midfielder shows how poor their understanding of personnel deployment is, and the way he was used is just funny. 1 Like |

Meliforme:I really don't know what to say about the bolded but it's such ridiculous nonsense. So if a man says that he's spent sleepless night to arrive at a decision, it is an indicator of failure? I've never heard such inanity in my life! Amidst this loss, all sorts of witless criticisms find expression like a dam letting out water from a muddy river. "Efforts without intelligence will make excuses and failure" What is the meaning of this word salad bro? Just because Eguavoen said he had sleepless night to determine who would be picked out of an already submitted 40 man list, now amounts to effort without intelligence? Was it only through effort and no intelligence that he picked those 28 players? If we do not interrogate some of the things some of you say here, the tag that this place is for ogogoro analysts will stick. Na wa. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Meliforme: Eguavoen was part of the technical committee,not crew. They are not the same thing. Tactical work is mostly done in practice, so do not make it look like the Assistant coached the team. Whether inverted or not inverted, Eguavoen dominated Tunisia even with a man down. So tell me, what are you criticising? |

chrisooblog:We don't have GK. Simpliciter. I feel for the young man though and I feel that it is in bad taste, to hurl insults at him and wish him death the way many people did on his Instagram page. I don't understand how our GKs would be doing great at their clubs yet in the GWG they'd flounder. Look Akpeyi. In the PSA he's a good GK but in the GWG, he'd be shaking like a leaf. Look at the other GKs like that of Sierra Leone, Comoros and Gabon who made saves after saves. They are low division GKs. Are we jinxed? |

To be fair it takes a while to build confidence as a national team GK. Even the great Enyeama struggled in the beginning. Vincent dropped the odd clangers here and there but his numerous saves made us overlook and forget. Mujtahida: 1 Like |
