You can’t remember changing player ...... grin

You said that was a friendly. grin

What about this one? grin

https://www.transfermarkt.com/spielbericht/index/spielbericht/2619004

Is this also a friendly? grin

I don remind you now. What else?

Are you seeing how far you are going? 2015. So it is so irregular. Secondly, I can bet that it was an injury.

It is not normal but you were crticising the coach that he is tactically inept for not making first half change. Then you bring friendly and go as back as 2015.

I can bet it is an injury.

Just accept you were wrong and move on.

Shocking for you reply this with respect to Maduka Okoye, the same player you have been blowing trumpet for all over the page.

I was talking about our practice of enthroning mediocrity in general.

Maduka is the best goal keeper in the squad IMO.

I have always said his club form is the best among all the keeper's we have in the squad.

With regards to him being the best keeper available to us I really do not know.

The goalkeeper department is a solitary one and it seems quite plausible that there must be some good quality goal keepers from the NPFL.

It was not due to injury and the year doesn’t matter because it’s about not seeing before.

You are the one creating story out of nothing. You clearly stated because of red card. It is straight of your comment. You did not say because he was incapacitated.

Since I started watching football, I can not remember where a coach made a change when the game was level in the first half without injury.

You are the one grasping. Making fictitious claims.

You said the coach was tactically inept and then started talking of cards. Then said we should know.

Incapacitated.

I don tire for how people dey think. Is critical thinking that difficult? Is it about the local league or quality of the player? Enyeama was not chosen because he was from the local league. He was chosen because he had the quality.

I was on one of Colin Udoh space on Twitter and he asked a Ghanaian female journalist to give low down on how Ghana is going to appoint a new coach. She said that for her it's not about local or foreign coach but that anyone who is appointed should have quality.

I'm increasingly becoming convinced that we have plenty ogogoro and burukutu analyst especially those ones who stubbornly stick to foolish points even when it has been shown to be harebrained

Saying he had a sleepless night doesn't necessarily mean he did. It's a soothing way to address those not selected that they are not forgotten! It's a human relation term. Ivory coast drew with Sierrialeone but defeated Algeria. My G, football is not mathematics.

Equavoen's tactic was spot on. In the first half, Algeria had one shot on target which came in the first 5 minutes.
Their tactic is to neutralize our attack and hit us on a counter. Equavoen knew that's why our forwards did not press in the first half and Moses withdrew a bit backward.
This is a knockout stage you don't just go all out against the 2nd best team in Africa.

In the 2nd half, we decided to be more proactive because Equavoen could see what the Tunisians were trying to do.
Iheanacho lost the ball and they countered, a long pass to Aina's position just needs Aina to trap the ball but he lost it. These are the little loss of concentrations that made Rohr prefer Awaziem to Aina.
Before our backline could recover boom a straight waving shot, took a bounce in front of our goalkeeper. A routine save with two palms but Okoye went with one (Bad positioning).

Equavoen saw a need to press their backline which Iheanacho and Awoniyi were not doing. He brought on Olayinka to press and Iwobi to control the midfield (Switching to 4-3-3) formation. Simon to drive in and Sanusi to go wide. Same with Chukweze and Aina. As we began to take charge of the game Iwobi miss-timed his control and ... red card.

Nevertheless, we maintained the game plan and there were several occasions Simon drove in and Sanusi drifted wide to receive the ball.
This game plan allowed us to press the Tunisians even with 10 men, and when Sadiq came on, Olayinka took Chukweze position drifting in and Aina going wide. That was how Olayinka was able to locate Sadiq unfortunately he shot wide (P.S: Sadiq and Olayinka gave it all, pressing, running, and dribbling).

Simon was able to locate Ndidi twice just outside the 18-yard box and he shot unbelievably wide. You don't give such space to a player like Partey or Kessie and won't pay dearly. Ndidi's shooting let us down. Comoros scored a free-kick from 30 yards but we have no player that can score from 20 yards. Wow!

Equavoen got his tactic spot on as it allowed us to control the game without headache, unlike our previous qualifiers.

It was the qualities of our players that let us down. A keeper that can't save a direct shot, a striker that failed to convert a through ball, a DM that can't shoot, and a 10 that got a red card.
Even with 10 men, we had the chance to equalize. Hardluck but as Iwobi wrote on his IG page, the Super Eagles shall be back. Patience my people!

Are you speaking for Eguavoen, or you are making connotations from what he said. Please do not do that for anybody, allow people to express their minds and to explain further what they meant if the need arises.

We lost to a depleted squad, that sums up everything

There wasn't much difference between Rohr's later days and what Eguavoen served us. Where was the entertaining football? Ekong with his normal duties of looping the ball after some stringing of passes at the backline. Our idea of going forward remains the same. Rohr plays with a thin midfield, the same with Eguavoen. Our midfield maintains it's identity of racking up tackles and defending, because we are very thin, and can't hold our own there. Our midfield is just part of our defense.

Some of the analyses you guys are dishing out is just an attempt to explain what you guys thought Eguavoen was thinking. Pundits are hilarious sometimes. Allow the coach to speak for himself. You guys sometimes use terms the coach have not used all his life.

You are very funny, you said we controlled our game without headache.

Nigerian league of 2022 is no Where near how it was in 2004. Enyeama was a back to back CAF champions league winner with Enyimba with big CAF champions league experience. So he was already well grounded with continental football.

We need the best goalies irrespective of where they are based. That's all
In spite of the bolded, tomorrow he will still repeat the same thing about our best players or GK being in the local league.

I do not query that you predicted that he'd fail. It is the basis of that prediction that I find laughable.

Now come to think of it as a matter of practical reality: even two options where one has to choose one or the other can be very testing not to talk of choosing 28 players out of 40.

Even Christ with his prophetic eye spent sleepless night in prayer just to choose twelve disciples yet he still chose a Judas you are here talking down on Eguavoen.

So in your mind choosing 28 players out of 40 should be as easy as knife cutting through butter right? And since the man said it wasn't easy for him, you saw failure. Pardon me but you appear to be like those people who once they enter exam hall, they finish quickly just to flatter themselves that they are intelligent and laugh at those who do not finish so quickly.

I'd tell you that choosing 28 players out of 40 would definitely give me and many other persons sleepless nights and the fact that he knows these players is what makes it even more difficult, not less.


I truly find your thinking absurd. Absurd not because you think choosing 28 players should be easy but because you think that since it gave him sleepless night, it meant he was going to fail.

You have explained everything. You have mirrored the same mindset. It will give you sleepless nights and you will brag about it, but it won't be the same for me.

We love toiling, we love exhaustion because it gives us the feeling that we are doing our best, and the excuse we will give should failure happen.

The Tunisians allowed us to do our normal huff and puff, toiling and sleepless nights and what was the result. We had only one shot on target while they had three. A depleted squad that were tactically drilled.

You can worry yourself to frazzle and have sleepless nights over little, but i tell you it will make your thinking very slow and you won't be able to quickly come up with solutions when big issues arises.

Your argument is specious. On the surface it sounds reasonable but once a person probes deep it is empty. Eguavoen did not brag. He made a factual statement. You read it and ran to town with it saying he boasted.

And on the 7th day, God rested. Why? Because in six days he made effort.

A man said he had sleepless night to make a decision. You said that is why he failed. If something requires deep thinking and painstaking effort for Mr A and for you, you it requires no effort does that automatically give you basis to presume that Mr A is a failure?

Some women do three days in the labor room before giving birth, while another woman, in two hours she's given birth. And then the one who used 3 days, comes to church and testifies that she was 3 days in the labor room before she gave birth. Then one woman in the congregation would say, 'I see patterns, you are bragging, I see that your child will fail'. Then if anything happens to the child, the woman would jump up and say, 'I said it, I knew this child would turn out wrong from the moment his mother was bragging that she labored for three days to birth him.'

If the absurdity in the above scenario is lost on you, then I can't help you.
