Ehn but he didn't talk about Amuneke now. And yes it was obvious Oliseh was too hot headed. Because how can you explain only him fighting at two different jobs, given the remarkable job he did in Holland only to use ego to bungle everything. I would love to hear Mikel's views om Keshi and Siasia too. I think he liked Siasia though as he bankrolled the U23 Olympic team in the US and that Olympic sort of cost him his place in Chelsea and things went downhill from there.

Also, I think Mikel is a complete gentleman and he had a good rapport with the team as captain. The only thing is, he himself isn't interested in coaching. Hope he gets some training on management and maybe might just be like another Emenalo.
About the bold he said he doesn't take sacking well that's why he won't venture into coaching.

The Portuguese league is staggered to me , the top 4/5 clubs good quality. The next 10 clubs poor Quality and the bottom section very poor.

Would you say because a player is getting good stats in the NPFL he should be invited to the SE.

Peopl over hype him ,his club, and the bottom section of his league. If a player is any good he simply will not be going from one mediocre club to another.

When you think of his wages it tells you the story .

I compared a mid table team in the Portuguese league Boavista with Bolton in English League one. The average weekly wage on both clubs is almost the same.

What's shocking is Chavez is much smaller. The wages you will determine the quality of players you will get, it's very simple.

I have not seen anything 😞 outstanding 😔 in his play, he would not survive in league one and I am being generous.
Wait, did you just compare NPFL to the Liga Portugal? Im done!

We have Osimhen now! With Osimhen and Onuachu you can't have 18 corners and score just one! That will be a big difference!!
comodo:

Our opponents will use Lesotho and Zim playbook. Simple. Defend in numbers and use Route 1 if opportunity comes.

There was verified info from some journos that the plays complained that He (Amuneke) talks too much for a Senior National team coach. He is better as an underage coach.

I hv made reference to this couple of times here but emotional and sentimental folks attacked me

Our ex internationals are full of jealousy, hate and naturally dubious which makes me to hv no faith in any

Mikel jokingly said he isn’t interested in coaching cus he can’t bear the pain of being sacked 🤣

He said he is likely to return to football on administrative level and if given the chance he will love to work with the nff

Like you suggested I think he will do well if he follow the route of Emenalo.

Exactly!!! Siasia is good but that match fixing issue has dented his credentials. And I think he has a penchant for mixing in his boys somehow too. Case in point, when he took over from Oliseh albeit briefly, he still found spots for some of his boys, Zuby and one.other guy like that. Also he kept inviting Okoronkwo and Issac Promise to the SE when they didn't deserve to be on the SE team. But that said, his team plays good football and he usually does well in tournaments.

CAF gave una 27 man sloth.
Call up 27 man players, you say No.
Na 25 players you wan use.
Now reality don hit you.
You go interview go dey blame NFF meanwhile you were the person that hurriedly presented a 25man list to CaF.
Players you're now calling up no dey your tactical resume, some have not played under you. You're hoping on individual brilliance.
It's now a game of try & luck... after all, lamba no dey finish for your mouth to know say you don prepare 1001 reasons wey you go present to Media why you team didn't meet up to expectations.



Its already working out

If it happens as it has been happening
As usual under Jose Peseiro

The excuse he will give is already baked waiting to be served


The excuse will be like this

" we were on a perfect plan to win the AFCON but you see, we had several injury crisis. We lost Awoniyi even before the list was out the ,
Ndidi couldn't make it.. you know he is our key man in the midfield.
Then Boniface who we have hoped will perfectly partner Osimhen got injured
Ok while we are hoping Sadic will do

Mhen it's not our fault we tried

Some fans here are just shameless.
There are cooking Peseiro but failed to cook eguaveon for the rubbish he did.
They also hail keshi as the next best thing after sliced bread.
These guys act like the Bruce Lee of Nigerian football but in reality they are suffering from selective amnesia. They truly want Nigeria to fail so they can boastfully say, “we told you so”.

robosky02:

As at today , we have more than enough Qualified Nigerians that are world class in their capacity to lead Nigeria to the world cup
Emmanuel Amunike
Finidi George
Augustine Eguavoen

Imean coaches that know Nigerian pattern of play.....who would have even imaging what Egwavon can do if the opportunity wasn't given him. In less than day

And you can see if it no NFF official is appreciating him....if it was that Portuguese they would have sang his praise.

And I bet you the Portuguese can't do more than this....

After eguavoen failed to qualify us for the World Cup. 😅😅🤌🏻🤌🏻👇🏻

robosky02:


The Truth is all the blame should go to somebody at NFF
He killed Nigerian football for his ambition
The worse NFF I have seen

We keep shouting.... If you remember give it to Emmanuel Ammunike

At least he is still a practicing coach and a FIFA technical team member

Yet padi padi... Brought Eguaveon.... Can't blame him much he did what he knows...

But we can win nations cup with Eguavoen abi?
robosky02:
With this coach

Nigeria should just forget this AFCON

Till the next edition

Pls bring out posts that hailed Eguavoen during last Afcon and mind you Stephen Keshi remain the best after Westerhoff,the records are there to see.

Yes Nigerians will cook Peseiro cuz he is not getting it right but we are not babies here that would not be happy for success of super eagles irrespective of our opinions.

Yes if Peseiro failed some would said we told you and if he perform beyond expectations some would still said we told you,that's the beauty of football.

Do you want to hear fact,most football fans are not happy with Peseiro,not only here but in other social platforms.

Thank God this is not only platform to follow Super Eagles eh. LOL!

In 2004, two prolific Strikers, Aiyegbeni and Agali and a legendary leftback Babayaro were expelled from Camp for indiscipline, yet we didn't fail to reach Semi-final and went home with bronze medals.

Odewingie saw an opportunity and grabbed it. Utaka saw an opportunity and didn't shy away from it, guess what - both were Wingers.

Icon4s recently reminded folks here to refresh their memory or at best ask their Elders to tell them stories of Eagles at AFCON, but they would rather keep wailing here. LOL!

If JPes still plays 4 - 4 - 2 formation, absence of Boniface, Iheanacho, Sadiq ain't gonna affect the team. In fact, its an opportunity for Iwobi to play 8, behind Osimhen, flanked by Lukman and Chukwueze plus Onyeka and Oyendika double-pivot.

If Chukwueze head not booting well, bring on Simon to replace him. I do not understand folks here to be honest. Competition starts tomorrow but gnashing of teeth full everywhere day and night.

I never said Eguavoen got hailed. If it were paseiro that failed to qualify us for the World Cup, his head would have been placed on a pike.

Of course most football fans aren’t happy with the coach but is wailing everyday on this thread going to change anything? Why not you all wait till he fails before wailing and whining? This thread is becoming so irritating.

What if he doesn’t fail? Football remains the most unpredictable game, even for the experts. Even good football pundits, regularly get their pre match analysis of a game totally wrong.

....even though I am pro local coach but we need to be careful before handing the job over to an indigenous coach again.

Guess we all have read what Mikel had to say about our African Pep? Una hail am like Pep, Mou and Ancelloti in one body. LOL!

Same Amuneke una dey beg NFF to roll red carpet for and give the job on platter of gold, what has he accomplished that indeed worth celebrating?!

Finidi......?! What qualifies him as right man for the job?! Only local coach I can support is Samson Siaisia but Baba don fûckup well well. He played good football and had legacies to brag with.

He lost on 2 ocassions to a squad [though not all] that later won World Cup again for the Argentina National Team.

Let finidi proves himself with Enyimba and wins the league first.

This is main [official] thread of Super Eagles on this platform. This is thread that users do visit to read about the team.

So many ghost users are following this thread to get information or perhaps renewed their hopes in the team.

If so called ardent followers of Eagles are doing like this, what message(s) are we passing to the followers?!

Evidently, this AFCON for Nigeria will come down to PRAYERS, other teams pray too

Evidently, this AFCON for Nigeria will come down to HOPE, which is not a strategy in football.

The fear of Super Eagles by other teams is no longer there...now we fear meeting Senegal, etc
