How can a National team have a define playing style when it is not club football?
Which country has a define playing style? You adjust your style to the players you have!

Marjoribanks:
Without Osimhen we are not beating both SA and Benin!

Longneck:
And the Belgium league Onuachu scored for fun is how many steps higher?

ChrisKels:


When Doherty talks, he backs it up with both quotes, interviews and pictorial(videos) evidences, but you want us to overlook that in favour of your usual cock and bull stories that are always devoid of substance? Mai'friend will you shut up there!!!

mostob:
Thank you for the memories. Nowadays, teams will be trailing by 2 goals with 15 minutes to go only to be passing the ball around.

Komekn shld disappoint us one day and just post a pic evidence to back up his claims dt truly he speaks with dis players

ChrisKels:


He knows shit and doesn't speak with no one. Nobody sabi am, and him no sabi anyone.

lovewins:


Two things can be true at the same time. Doherty had a context for this post and it wasn't the corruption at the NFF. He had at another time spoken about the corruption in the NFF and the football competition he organized for players of Nigerian descent (which you acknowledged). He really has no neee to cap here, they guy shows workings.

The crux of the post is for Nigerians to show grace to players as they make their decisions.

🇦🇷🗣️ Lionel Scaloni: "We are losing the essence of football. Not only at a professional level, but also with kids."

"My children play in Spain and are overwhelmed with information. They receive the ball, and they're already being told what to do."

"There are fewer dribblers because if they barely get the ball and you say, 'Pass it!'... Imagine if Messi, when he was eight years old, had been constantly told by his coaches to "Pass it!" We wouldn't have him today."

"Football has become such a huge thing, everyone reads, studies, and thinks that with that, they can already manage."

"If you tell a 7 or 8-year-old to make a diagonal run, cover defensively... He's seven years old! Let him play with the ball, make mistakes, and when he's 14 or 15, then we can start correcting."

"It's a message for the future. This is a sport, and the beauty of football should not be lost."

Napoleon55:

Where exactly did I have it completely wrong?
that we should not have competent coaches manage our age grades and discover talented players to be developed and nurtured for future use?

Many great players came through from our youth program or age grade teams.
The likes of
Kanu,
Babayaro,
Oruma,
Mikel,
Osimhen,
Ikpeba,
Chukwueze,
Ndidi,
Iheanacho,
Awoniyi etc.

It was after good performance from from age grade competitions that most of these players were signed by European clubs.

Do u think an incompetent coach would be able to spot good and talented players and train them into a championship winning team?
there by exposing them for everyone to see making it easier for them to attract foreign clubs and becomes professionals for supers eagles coaches to select

Or what would u have us do?
wait for those foreign born with all those privileges,trained from the cradle by foreign clubs,
then start dragging them with other countries, start holding meetings upon meetings with their parents, agents and their representatives before we can get some of them to play for us,yet we won't be able to get the best of them to represent us no matter how hard we try.

No,we are much more capable of producing our our talents who would represent us with pride,it does matter where they end up being nurtured and trained into a full blown professionals.

Out delta boys when I see na only pidgin ( broken) dem fit speak 🗣️ they cannot speak 🙊 Uhrobo or Isoko.

Meanwhile the boys with Igbo and Yoruba parents a good number can speak 🗣️ Yoruba and Igbo and some have never been to Nigeria.

I was thinking of organising an excursion trip to Nigeria for like 10-20 players of Nigerian origin to Nigeria in the U17 age group who all play for EPL clubs

What do you think ❓

That is not the point of debate. Be coherent when debating. The point is fair and corrupt free camp. Nothing he stated disagreed with that. And, I let him understand that.

Finito.

Let me ask you to empathise for a moment hypothetically.

Imagine you are a EPL young top player and some strange guy you don't know from Adam. Comes to ask abruptly from nowhere, 😲 do you want to play for Nigeria ❓

What would the be the expression on your face 🤔❓

Who the heck 😤 is this and what does he want 🧐

Compared to somebody you see quite often is friends with your coaches and agent and you have affinity with. People talk sincerely with people they know 😉 not with people they don't know.

I have said this a million times in order to get Nigerian origin players you need to create relationships.

Kog45:
Understand what?my point was Osimhen came to open camp based on recommendation.If you don't know Osimhen was drove to Abuja by agent Shira Ayila a brother to ex international Yusuf Ayila....Did I accused Amunike of corruption regarding open camping?NO but fact Amunike got developmental fee from Nwakali transferred which you said is normal cuz he was part of his development but did he got the same developmental fee from Osimhen transferred fee since he was also involved in his development.

Consider the players in bold they were primarily nurtured and developed in Europe. They did not hit the ground running and even now there are gaps in their development that can be seen even today.

The others players brought their swag 😎, skill, technical ability, tenacity, athletic ability straight from Nigeria to Europe and hit the ground running. Players like Kanu, JJay, Ikpeba, Mikel, etc .

That era of footballers ⚽⚽⚽ we no longer have and or produce. Europe has upped the game in players development but we have remained stagnant.

If you plant ground nuts 🥜🥜 you will not harvest Yam 🍠🍠. We don't have a good professional and quality league with good academy systems for players progression. We have a duplicity of football ⚽ academies across the country, with one objective sell players to European clubs. That's not development but business for profit.

You may want to disagree with me but thses boys have manufactured ages and on arrival in Europe many have short shell lives and don't get to high heights.

Many are abandoned in Europe washing cars for a living unwilling to return back to Nigeria with broken 💔 dreams.

I don't think we are with the current infrastructure facilities coaching staff capable of producing player's that can hit the ground running in top leagues of Europe 🌍. Like the way Ikpeba, Mikel, Keshi, Kanu, Finidi, Olise did in their time.

There are thousands of Nigerian origin players in football ⚽ academies across Europe not all can play for their European countries of birth. Some will reject their countries of birth and play for their fatherlands.

But then imagine I got players from Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United & City😞, Arsenal, to flood the U17 all of you will start crying 😭 discrimination and favouritism. They are discriminating against our home born boys.

We don't like competence in Nigeria we prefer emotional preference not excellence.

komekn:
There is certain U15 striker that plays for Chelsea astounding ability. He plays alongside Thiago son for Chelsea.

He was called to the England trials but rejected for a white player who cannot stand on any comparison with him. It's like comparing darkness 🌑 to light 🕯️.

But our guy was rejected , if Nigeria had a relationship and strategy there boys would 🦘 to play for Nigeria.

But alas they will not sign with NFF agents and sign contract that will enrich NFf officials. So I can't see that happening.

The context is camping and what happens in the course of the exercise. You have no practical experience. But then keep arguing

Marjoribanks:
Judging a player by number of goals and appearance shows a statistician that lacks quality ... Even one goal from open play in 6 is a poor return.
A good statistician consider many factors such as chances created, missed, shot on target, off target etc not the peripheral of just goals and appearance.
Based on those factors Dessers does not deserve Super Eagles call.
I am not just a statistician/mathematician myself, I am an economists as well therefore other factors are important to me.
Lookman is not a striker but you can see the talent there. Moffi was great at AFCON.
Sadiq has been poor just like Dessers.

Marjoribanks:
Arsenal is winning the league today!

Marjoribanks:
A player that consistently miss sitters is not good enough for the Super Eagles!
Dessers is not good enough for us.

Osimhen, Boni, Awo, Moffi, and Kele!

Kele can play few other roles!

Another empty talks. Organise it and show us pictures and videos as evidence the way Doherty does. We still have pictures of Michael Obafemi when Doherty did his in England. Yours are always empty talks without substance. You don't need oniovo's approval to do that, abi you dun dey already look for excuses through that path?

Air Peace has already crashed the flight ticket through that route. If na flight ticket I can buy for one player when they come, just to ensure you organize it. Enough of the empty words mai'friend.
