Eguavoen has real love for the lad because he doesn't strike me as the egunje type.

Imagine Nwakali is higher in the pecking order than Onyeka. . Funny country.

How did you mean?

chriskel will never see anything wrong with that

senegal don reach finals you don come out with your long neck

Super eagles with out pretty and eye catching football played to the gallery but got knocked out in the 2nd round while Senegal with their kick and follow football made it to the finals

Cameroon and Bukina faso with their royal rumble football made it to the semis

Egypt with their conservative style made it to the finals

Why are you still arguing with these people?

It's obvious they have a strong bias for local coaches(competent or incompetent) and will support them in whatever they do. They are guilty of the very same thing they accuse other people of. If it was Rohr who lost against that depleted Tunisian side, would they have made the same excuse they're currently making for Eguavoen?
Tunisia is a top team all of a sudden. The same Tunisia we beat at the last AFCON and it was their first eleven.



I hated Rohr's tactics. I totally despised them, so much so I stopped watching a lot of our matches but the man gave us results when they mattered the most. Results are the most important thing in cup competitions.

This is why I wanted him sacked AFTER the AFCON and not before, especially if he didn't win it. That way we would have a much better excuse to get rid of him.

I became a huge fan of Spain after Nigeria defeated them at France 98. Even though they lost, I was thrilled by their passing game and believed in the near future they would succeed.

With Aragones in the head of affairs, he put together a young Spanish team and I had one of my biggest heartbreaks in international football. When Zidane inspired France with some mind-blowing displays to eliminate Spain. I slept off at the spot where I watched that game because I believed in their playing pattern.

In the future, there was a turnaround that led to total success in Spain in both national and club football.

What I am pointing out is that short-term wins don't thrill me. I want to see a long term plan being followed because I believe in the future, that will lead to a load of successful winnings.

I want decades of success. Not some short wins.

Bro, i have never seen a player as rough as Taribo west. West was extra extra rough. He makes tree cutter tackles..

But he was one of the most talented defender Nigeria ever had(after chukwu and Okechukwu). At Auxerre, he was literally impossible to get around. Never beaten one on one..

His tackle on Kanchelskis was horrific.. Dude was never the same player after that injury ...

Lol for now, I dun hands off Nwakali matter. Be like him and his family no serious. For their mind, they have made enough money. How many minutes did he play at the AFCON that he had to take this long to return to his club?

andrewbaba44:


This is the second time you are capping this nonsense

When we speak of important players for the eagles Nwakali is no where near top 10 let alone putting him on same sentence with ndidi and osimhen

You better respect yourself there

Odunayaw:
Paolo Maldini was a hard tackler ke? You de whyne?

alekside:
Lol. I remember how one of his praise singers wrote a 3 pages scientific paper on why we conceeded possession against Egypt as a result of the midfield Generalisimo not starting. Fast forward to the game against a relatively poor Guinea Bissau side, the possession was even despite the General playing a large part of the game. I have been waiting to hear from the analyst since then.

Fact is, the guy is not as half as good as he was hyped by his hype gang.

Meliforme:


Ndidi and Osimhen have been so exceptional in GWG that's the reason why i didn't place Nwakali over them.

Even for Ndidi, i will dig out posts where many on this thread have berated his quality and said he brings very little, but we see what we see. That was so funny, so funny to the point that except we pointed out his vital blocks, tackles and interceptions, they won't see those. Ndidi is the only identity the midfield has for now and that identity is a defensive identity.

Was it not on this thread that i rated Frank Onyeka of Midtjylland in Denmark over Philip Billing Anyanwu that plays in the EPL. Did you not argue me, Mr Andrew. You can still go on with the debate.

It was still on this thread that i expressed my preference for Sadiq Umar over Taiwo based on the little i saw of him against Egypt. Many came for my head for saying that, now the story has changed.

And now Nwakali.....

It is a player like Kelechi Nwakali that makes a team tick. He is like a glue that holds a team at the center.

It is not just myopic, it is foolish to talk down on what a Nwakali can bring.
It is so evident that we need his abilities.

If you have any problem with his attitude, say it.
Don't berate his skill and contribution.

chrisooblog:
Maldini was a very exquisite player on the ball but could deploy the dark arts (remember his wrestling move on Yekini in USA 1994) when occasion demanded. Baresi is my best all time defender. Baba knew how to position himself to snuff out danger.

do4luv14:




what about Etebo did you rate nwakali over him

COOL10:



Funny thing is you thinking you wrote something profound and intelligent but you couldn't even see past your own hypocrisy. It's even more hilarious that you thought you could actually insult me by calling me something I'm not. Did you feel good about yourself before clicking that 'submit' button? I'm sure you did

That's by the way

You keep talking about 'we' 'we' 'we'. Who is this 'we' you're talking about?
You said 'this is why we won't take you serious'. I wonder when this beloved thread turned into a cult that whoever disagrees with public opinion, gets ostracized. Is that what you're implying? Cos it sure sounds like it.

I've been an ardent follower of this thread for seven years now but I only comment when it's absolutely necessary.

If you've been on this thread long enough you would have realised that I'm not one to follow the band wagon mentality. Or maybe I'm overrating your cognitive and observative abilities. Do the number of likes you get make you feel validated? I'm sure they do.

Do have a nice day.

Lol .. LiveScore fans..Then plenty everywhere.. Anybody that wants to label Eguavon a failure is doing so out of painment and not reality..

The main reason I'm supporting him to continue is because I saw a lot of improvement in the team under him.. Individually, some players like Simon, Ekong and Ndidi put in the kind of performance we have always wanted from them, while Aina and Aribo were given more freedom to roam. As a team, we pressed more, attacked better, retained possession better and moved the ball around better.. Even Eguavon's hardcore critics can't deny the facts on ground... One moment of bad luck doesn't mean there won't be better ones ahead.

I remember when Klopp took over from Rodgers in the middle of the season.. Our performance greatly improved with the same corp of players Rodgers was playing rubbish with..That same season we reached two cup finals but were unlucky to lose both. It didn't stop most of the fans from believing in Klopp..We know what happened afterward..

Eguavon is no Klopp, and I'm not saying we should give him 5 years like Rohr.. But looking at how good he made the team look despite having a short period of time and unavailable key players to prepare, I'd say he has earned the rights to another chance!

Guys watch out for this boy, he will probably be making his UCL debut against Bayern this month. Quality player groomed under the RedBull platform. I hope more young Nigerians are signed by RedBull.

I will rate Nwakali over the Etebo that we have known in S.E.
But the Etebo that i saw in the EPL before his injury, i have never seen in GWG. Looks like a different player.
Some things have improved about him.

Let's see Etebo again.

Emphasis is on the mould or model of play.
