If Paserio wants to keep playing this formation then Nwakali is urgently needed. Collins was free most of the times but the midfielders just lack the precision needed to thread precise long balls. Osayi keeps passing backward instead of taking the ball to the line to cross.
Iheanacho would rather pass to the midfield than do a 1 2 ball with Osayi. The team has no leadership no urgency.

Awoniyi is the major culprit. A striker's body language is important in a match, his body language was just off. Just like against Tunisia at AFCON where he refused to press as he did in the first two games and was just strolling on the pitch.

Onyeka is not a natural DM. He runs from 1v1 tackles cos of his injury history. Play Onyedika as the DM (can pass, mark and shoot).
I watched South Africa and Benin today and those teams have nothing upfront!

This is a group we should be winning convincingly if the coach call up the right players.
We had almost 18 corners and just 2 of those corners we were able to hit on target! How? We have more than 5 six foot players.
Our corners should be synonymous to a penalty kick if the coach knows what he is doing!

Lookman schooled in Komekn football school yet can't kick ordinary corner kick. Pathetic.
Don't raise your hope high tomorrow.

I av bin researching into what made the Atlanta 96 eagles thick and this is what I found

=four of Japan 93 were part of 96
=six or seven of 🇲🇺 93 were also part
= and lastly 8-9 USA 🇺🇸 94 were also part

Now what I deduce: there is a gradual progression b4 dey hit stardom by winning gold at Atlanta 96

However can we really say the same thing about this moribund team of pajero.

Seriously accident involving man diesel will happen to that man if he set his feet in Lagos.

Realistically, we can win the rest of our games (home and away) if all hands are on deck with a serious manager at the helm. I'm looking ahead of AFCON. Let's accept that's another tourney (AFCON) wasted because NFF failed to the right thing earlier.

I didn't need a loss against Lesotho to know Peseiro is a bad for for the Super Eagles, the first few games convinced me. I however think that sacking him now is t the right decision.

First, the NFF can't afford to, since they stupidly renewed his contract. What we can hope for is that we win against Zimbabwe tomorrow, but the NFF should start scouting for a new coach (preferably a Nigerian). His presence with the team wouldn't be that significant since our next set of qualifiers will be after AFCON next year.

The NFF included a KPI that JP has to meet to keep his job, the AFCON Finals being one of them. I sincerely do not think he has what it takes to achieve that. The NFF can then sack him in January without significant financial blowback should he fail to meet up with the target. This way, we can get in a new coach who will prepare the team for thr remainder of the qualifiers.

I'm not sure the details of the renewed contract was released for us to be sure of the bold.

Don't be surprised they might add qualification for the world cup as part of the KPI and will use that to keep him beyond the AFCON.

Key details like the KPI were widely reported, it's why he wasn't offered a long contract. It is primarily the Nation's cup Semi finals/Finals (not sure which is now). If he fails to meet up with this he's done. Of he does meet up then World cup qualification becomes the new benchmark.

Why not Gbenga Odubote as he has been busy working. Amuneke hasn't been on the touchline for a while and it seems he got fired from the online Zambian work he has been doing. My point is, let's employ somewhere who hasn't been job idle for a period greater than 6 months

I dunno why NFf has never given Gbenga ogunbote any coaching role. The man is very good, he is currently doing well at 3sc. He did a very good job at demo and sunshine. I am happy about the new generation of coaches coming up at the local scenes. At least it will give room to replace the old ones that are not productive

Ogunbote has never won anything as a coach. He almost relegated sunshine ( played 18 consecutive games without a win) before he was sacked and Deji Ayeni came to the rescue.

If Passeiro abi Pisseiro fails to beat Zimbabwe on Sunday, he has TO BE FIRED ON THE SPOT, no too much grammar on that one, failure to do that then the NFF glasshouse should be vandalized and burnt down. Let FIFA ban us no wahala.

Going forward the overloading of strikers in our team at the expense of the midfield STOPS NOW. Ivory coast played a simple 433 with actual midfielders and the rest was history. The 424/442 madness ends now, with no Ndidi in that midfield it's madness asking Iwobi or the others to do the job a natural defensive midfielder should be doing. We don't need the likes of Moffi, Awoniyi, and Sadiq in the team, these players are more or less the same type of players. The front attack should only consist of Osimhen, Boniface, Gift Orban and Akor Adams (those last two because they actually have more ball playing skills and all round better goal scoring abilities than the likes of Awoniyi and Moffi).

Midfielders must always be at least 6-7 in number going forward, the invitation of only 4 midfielders stops now, we're not in the 90's when 442 was the order of football, now games are won or lost from the midfied!

Lastly players like Aribo should be phased out for good, he's in his late 20's now and has badly regressed, can't even get minutes in the freaking championship for goodness sake. The likes of Ifeanyi Matthew, Alhassan Yusuf, Folorunsho, Igoh Ogbu, Jordan Torunarigha and any of the fringe players who are having good seasons across Europe have to be called up now. That defence needs to be shored up cause Bassey just doesn't cut it for me.

How did your come to that conclusion 🧐 objective based appraisal by comparison or prejudice.

In actual no one player was outstanding against Lesotho. But the players you are making comparison with just don't cut it for me, they are not outstanding or an improvement in comparison to Aribo.

Ifeanyi s midfielder plays in the Swiss Superleague it's rated below the Scottish and Turkish league. He has played 14 games and scored one goal 🥅 this season , what's so special. ❓ Is he better than Aribo, would he even get into the Southampton team ,have my doubts. Weekly salaries of Zurich is on par with Portsmouth in EFL League One.

The same goes more or less for Alhassan Yusuf, he is almost anonymous on the Eridivise. Before Arsenal and other top clubs went for the young Arthur Vermeeren , was Alhassan Yusuf invisible.🥺 I don't think he would get into Southampton.

Ogbu is a defender stuck in the obscurity of Czech league and other low level league for almost a decade.
Then you mention another defender Jordan Torunarigha , who left is anonymous🙈 career in the much higher Bundesliga to find solace in the lower Belgium league that's not a sign of quality 🤔.

None of these players you mentioned alongside Aribo are making waves. They are earning peanuts 🥜 because they are poor quality players, none of them earn anywhere what Aribo earns.

I am not saying Aribo is Messi, I don't think he is exceptional but the players you mentioned are not better than him.

With regards to the Championship, you think it's so low. Yet, KC is not even in the top 12 goal scorers in the league.

Don't mention Awoniyi and Moffi in the same sentence as Sadiq that's an insult. They are not 🚫 comparable in any way. With regards to Gift Orban and Akor Adams , it's speculative to suggest they are better.

Finally, Aribo is actually 27 but if he was born in Nigeria he would be 21., so forget that age comparison.
