Who dafuq is Afena Gyan?


Because he scored two goals in Serie A we should now wet our pants

Na wow o

Ghana was expected to crush Comoros and make it out of their group, but Comoros mercilessly crushed Ghana.

Now, the Ghanaians are confident they can win us, they are even talking about surprise lists and making plans for how they will lure Lamptey and Odoi with World Cup qualification

So, you expect all of us here to start predicting failure for the team because AFCON did not work out? So if you apply for job and they reject you, you will not be optimistic during your next application? Na so you think say people suppose dey live life? With great expectations of failure?

safarigirl:


Guardiola no dey eye Haaland again?

I don't trust that man with African players

I'm convinced most folks here aren't following what the Ghanaians are saying ahead of the match..Their level of confidence is way ahead of ours...
Normally,they don't like us, so they can't admit that we have the superior team right now..

It's going to be a dirty affair in Kumasi...

nelszx:

A serious coach will know the Ghanaian team list is 90% of those who participated at the afcon. Apart from Kudus and few others, you can prepare with their afcon squad. There won't be any major changes
Even their starting 11 will have 2 or 3 changes of the team that played against Comoros

Set pieces is not Nigeria's weakness please, unless you guys are writing about Enyeama's Nigeria.

The last time we conceded from a setpiece was AFCON 2019 to the best of my knowledge and I don't think Ghana has anyone as good as Mahrez taking set pieces

You people are shaming me with these takes.

ABIODUN105:
In 2008 And 2010 AFcon Super Eagles lost to Ghana 2-1 and 1-0 respectively in those two matches super eagles conceded via set pieces in 2008 Michael Essien score via heading and it is not Enyeama that is in goal that year but Austin Ejide and in 2010 Asmoah gyan score via set piece again thou it is Eyeama that is in goal Super eagles play better that year



On a norms if super Eagles can defend set piece attack against Ghana Black stars of Ghana did not have an attack that can score two goals against Nigeria.

safarigirl:



And after they scored and started shooting from outside the box, how many entered?

Did they score everything they shot from outside the box consequently?

We lost because we did not equalize.

We did not lose just because they scored us one goal.

If you do not score a goal you will lose a game and it will be a well deserved loss.

When you finish your own ranting, it is still Okoye you will see at that post, then you will realise how useless your ranting really is.

Make una better accept what you cannot change, because all your complaints will not amount to anything. Okoye will start the game, bother yourself with who will be closest to the Ghanaian net.

Safari girl, we have had aguements in the past in this forum. I intentionally avoid replying your statements because it is usually plagued with sentiments and insults to the person. However, I would reply this your argument with just FACTS. As I anticipate your usual response.

1. It is a fallacious assertion to say that you would only win a game if you scored more goals than your opponent. Some teams only need to score once and the lock the shop (as seen in the Tunisia game). Soccer, as you would agree with me, has become more tactical. The premiership winning Leceister City tactics come to fore.

2. Again, as you would agree with me, soccer is a TEAM SPORT. You are only as strong as your weakest link. At present, the glaring weakness in the SuperEagles TEAM is our goal keeper, Maduka Okoye. Ghana is very close to Nigeria, both geographically and culturally. There is a very high chance their coaching crew know about this deficit and would exploit it to the fullest during our next match.

3. The advantage we have with the current Super Eagles Manager, Augustin Eguavon, is that he listens more to the sentiments of the Nigerian populace, more than any foreign manager would. I believe if a concerted effort is made by the general public both in discussion forums and in print media highlighting this deficiency, he would take note and make the needed adjustments. Hence, rendering your final premise of immutability of Okoye as the starting goal keeper, also fallacious.

I look forward to your usual response......

Danielnino00:


Go and update yourself... Hughton isn't the chief coach..He is the technical adviser... Otto Ado is the one in charge of the team..

And Hughton is nowhere near world class..He was caretaker coach at Tottenham and has spent most of his career managing in the championship...
World class coaches are the one coaching top tier teams in top tier leagues and winning trophies...

jasena:

When I say world class (thank you for the emphasis- technical advisor ) im not comparing him to guardiola, tuchel, mohrino, etc but he has played and coached at the highest leagues as far as the sport is concerned. He is one of the few blacks to have coached in the premier league. He was the caretaker coach of Tottenham at a time. He has been voted Championship Manager of the Year twice: in 2010 while at Newcastle and in 2016 for his work at Brighton. I think the has a lot of experience about the game.
Compare him to Eguavon, eguavon apart from coaching one south African club has been coaching gombe utd, enyimba etc. He has never played or coached in a top 5 league. Is this the resume needed for Nigeria to make an impact at the world cup? So I was calling Chris world class when compared to eguavon.
Why doesn't Nff hite a coach that has coached in thr top 5 leagues likewise?

andrewbaba44:


My favorite coach

But I agree with you by saying you dont trust him with African players ,mostly the ones on black skin .

I still wonder why he loved seydou Keita so much then

andrewbaba44:


Osimhen likes dirty games

I so much believe in him to destroy that day

jieta:
In respect to your last comment I don't think is true.

Keita has come out to complain that gurdiola only praise him and don't play him during his time in barca. you can search it up on Google.

TheGoodJoe:


Rumors have it that we are sealing Haaland but it is not yet concluded.

Until then, I believe Osimhen is in the picture. His work rate will fit in perfectly. That is why I used if.

I know Guardiola does not have a refreshing history with African players but I believe it is down to tactical adjustment. I feel Osimhen will adjust well under Guardiola.

Let us see how it plays out.

benji93:
In other words, world-class is relative. . But if there are no general standards of world-class, I wonder if we can ever be on the same floor on any matter at all.

benji93:
What are you talking about man? While the first part is a truth statement, the second I am not sure I am following. Are you suggesting that the African players that were part of his 'not so refreshing' coaching career were certainly not able to adjust tactically? . You are obviously stuck between the fact that you are in awe of Guardiola's supposed 'tactical genius' and your desire that our best players play for the best.

andrewbaba44:



Go and check seydou keita ,there was a season he played more minutes than xavi and iniesta ,he is one of guardiola most used player Baba

I can give you some proof if you want

TheGoodJoe:


Yet, Keita still should have had more games under his belt. Guardiola had preference of other players over him.

He was just too high grade to get dumped.

andrewbaba44:
Inter millan don goof

Napoli can still win seria A

I am an ac Milan fan but I want osimhen to win the seria A

Since when?

https://www.eyefootball.com/mobile/34901/Chris-Hughton-Englands-underrated-coaches.html

You can see that in this article Chris is described as one of the most underrated coaches in England. The Ghanaian FA were in search if a top class coach that could inspire confidence and respect from their players and rebuild the team, that's why they involved Chris hughton. It shows you how much they want to be at the world cup. I may not know the standards that define a world class coach but would you say that one of the most underrated coaches in England is not world class? Do you think Eguavon will ever be considered or dream of coaching in the top 5 league?

safarigirl:
BTW, if Eguaveon listened more to the populace, Dennis, Shehu, Okoye, Ighalo and even our dear Osimhen for no make list

Onazi is on the stand by list, I am sure nobody in the country envisioned his appearance

It is insulting to even suggest that the coach will listen to armchair analysts when making decisions that could make or mar his team. How many people he wan listen to? You want his brain to burst?

andrewbaba44:


Since 2006 after my love for Barcelona ,they aren’t my first club ,me and my dad are addicted to football

I might not really care about Milan but I like them ,but I want osimhen to win his first European trophy
