MallamSpicey:
Bad coaching aside, it's time to take a long and hard look at some of this crop of players we have...super-stars at their clubs but absolute wankerss for country. Boniface spends more time making banger (though admittedly funny tweets) on his X account that you wonder if he even finds the time to train in camp? Osimhen gives his all for Nigeria but can never be relied upon to be fit when we need him the most. Iwobi tries his best but I suspect he won't be able to handle the inevitable storm of stupid fans who will abuse him on social media, so he might prematurely either retire or outrightly refuse future call up's. Lookman will be Lookman, decent on his days and frustrating to watch on other days- too inconsistent to rely upon to give us moments of magic when needed.

That leaves us with a team that looks super talented on paper, yet seem to be lacking that winners mentality we used to see from previous SE teams.

Honestly I'll pick the Osaze/Yakubu/Emenike set over these players, at least those guys gave their all despite not playing for the best clubs across Europe. See how a player like Emenike played like his life depended on it, only Osimhen from this current set gives that type of dogged mentality.

We can still qualify from this group as the second or third best team and make the playoffs, but surely we need to go all out and get a experienced coach preferably foreign cause we simply don't have any good Nigerian coaches right now.

The team lacks a leader on and off the pitch there was a reason Ahmed musa was always being invited but we all said he’s a spent force.

We surely missed Ekong and Oshimen who were the leaders on the pitch at Afcon

Same Finidi criticising GR in 2020.

We need to win our remaining 6 games, and after that it’s still not guaranteed

Joebie:

Please you playing with my emotions .
It's not possible. Atleast not with a man who believes formation is not important in football.

No wonder he kept experimenting wrong positions.

Is Finidi trying to force the Nigeria premier league players on the SE ?


If Awaziem can't start ahead a defender playing for an average club in Tanzania

Then he should not have anything to do with the SE

Some call ups don dey fraudulent

Subzerooo:
Chai each action Finidi takes makes me lose the respect I never had for him, sack this man if we don't beat South Africa

If we had done the needful maybe we would have had a fighting chance

viccy12:


Abeg , die that Rohr talk. I will rather keep Finidi than have Rohr return with his depressing football

Am
Not asking for Rohrs return. Just pointing out the ease of our qualification for tournaments.

Truidstarr:
did we use calculators during Rohrs time?

you forgot we laboured to qualify to the last round of 2022 wcq on the last day. The only reason we could play Ghana in the double header was a goalline clearance by ndidi and it's not as if we were playing some top nations ooo. Our group was composed of cape Verde, Liberia and C.A.R.. rohr that was usually breezing through qualifiers was now dragging points with low nations. From someone that used to qualify us to tournaments without issues, there were clear and sharp decline decline in his football and it won't have taken long that he won't even be able to qualify us to tournaments again. His last days were torture and his sack was justified.

J am happy you used the word “laboured” at least there was effort and heart. What do you call what we played today?

Fidihe figiti you fall hands of your believer seriously, when D Presence says you are abikus heads almost roll.

Today you were not only CLUELESS but also classless, technicaless tacticaless and moribundly smartless. You were outplayed by a rejected stone, though, him too not technically savvy.

Figiti, I eavesdrop and I heard that your head of employer is a soya beans farmer at Lafiaji and when he was FA chairman of Zamfara he doesn't come to work except when it is time to share money, that unconfirm report says.

His coming as NFF president to office, going forward,has been nothing but disaster.the unconfirm report says he comes to work around 10am and leaves office by 2pmso how can that be 0o

Hmm Nigeria ēku ìròjüoooo

daveP:



No need to form any committee for this one. The handwriting on the wall is the summary report of the 'unmobilized' panel. Finidi is c'est fini.

Oga leave grammar and form committee...

We have been so unlucky! Awoniyi missed an open net against Lesotho. Likewise, Moffi missed a 92nd minutes 1v1 against SA. Today we conceded from a long ball and corner kick. lol! God of football is not on our side.

Ekong, Simon, Osimhen, Aina, and Onyeka. Half of a team starting 10 at AFCON are missing.

Look at the bench who were available? Fisayo injured, an unfit Boniface, and Onyeka.

We need to support Finidi! What would a foreign coach do better?
We need all our players back and fit!

We will win our remaining matches and qualify for the World Cup. Keep the faith.

Patriotism isn’t always about local solutions.

Patriotism is about wanting the best for the country even if the solution is foreign while also closing the recognized gaps and improving on the local solution to be at par with foreign solutions.

Our local media and NPFL apologist damaged SE.

Super chickens..soco, no world cup..soco, Benin beat us...soco, dance...soco...charlesemeka85...join me soco, mostob...2030 is not faraway soco

mostob:
Now is the time to bring out the calculator. I suggest we
nominate committee members for this course.

DaveP, no be you graduated with first class in Mathematics
the other time? You will be the chairman.

Oga Oasis will be the Secretary. EEGA will be the Auditor
while Thegoodjoe will be the honourable representing
Tikitaka constituency.

I will supply the food and refreshments from my shop. Tell your people I don't sell on credit if don't want police case

Nwabali is not as good as Nigerians thinks. But that's a discussion for another day. Okoye's time to step in.

His invitations are questionable,making series of mistakes, playing players out of position,and he is not interested in correcting his mistakes.
How do we support someone who will lead us to nowhere?

Calculator republic ....this is just the beginning...time to change the thread name again after another serial failure. Perennial fail jobs

joelsteron:

This particular defense of Taminu and co does not inspire confidence,unlike the defense of Ekon,Aina,even Sanusi.
So it affected him.

But he need to watch himself and not to allow his AFCON performance make him believe he has arrived

Okoye wouldn't have made any difference, Nwabali is more preferably on national duties

ChrisKels:
Four games without Victor Osimhen and most importantly his hunger, 3 draws, one loss.

When we are ready to have this discussion we will have it.

Cc Ekene

Abeg shift, when we needed osimhen the most against ghana, he was trying scissor kick instead of the ball in the net. Same osihmen that missed a one on one chance against Equatorial Guinea

Kog45:
Hmm we reached Afcon final with only cleared cut winning against Cameroon,pls go and watch our Afcon matches and see how negative we are even against average Africa teams …sir,Peseiro was a disaster though some may hit me for talking nonsense just cuz of Afcon final but in reality he failed woefully to give us better team after Rohr left and we are suffering from it now…Finidi or no Finidi the team needs real turn around not even now but for the future…..I remembered France failed to make it to 1990 and 94 WC but came out stronger but do we have NFF to give us better eagles,a puzzle.

You are the only one speaking the truth here. The others are NFF paid staff. They know themselves. One day the money go finish

daveP:
He's targeting Lars Lagerbeer record. That's the worst imo. Worst Local should be Onigbinde or anyone else.

Onigbinde that won silver for us in afcon?

charlesemeka85:
Imagine having Akpoguma,Ndah,Ogbu,Torunarigha etc and u invited Taminu with no natural left back 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Even much maligned awaziem would hv done better 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Move bassey to lb, osayi to rb then awaziem and ajayi as cb duo

Mk I hear peem say anybody hype local coaches and players here again

Kenneth Igboke guy from rangers is a LB instead he kept him on the bench and used osayi

Katcall:

Osimhen led us to AFCON final,the previous one he missed due to injury, we tried to reach the final in vain.

Osimhen is the most important player in this present team,his presence alone inspires others to work harder

Make I hear anybody say we go qualify for WC, na spiritual slap e go collect

😂😭😂

Meliforme:
I normally keep faith in people until they give me good reasons not to.

When i criticised Eguavoen severely for his speeches that revealed a lot about his incompetencies, i got lots of lash backs.

I criticised Finidi for his ignorant takes regarding how football should be played, many ganged up against me saying all manner of things.

You see the truth is not always with the majority.

Tell them. The truth cannot afford not to be bitter

chrisooblog:
Another major disappointment is the mentality of the players. So if Osimhen isn't around you can't ginger or encourage yourselfs to beat Lesotho, Zimbabwe and Benin?

stop this hyping of Osimhen. They are all the same

Odunayaw:
See my anticipation for wicked crosses o

That guy don seal him fate like that

Its his first time. Give him time he will improve. After all he did it in the NPFL

ChrisKels:
Omo ehn Finidi is going down in history as the worst coach the super eagles have ever had. Nothing about this guy looks professional, both physically and otherwise.

lol..Were you not one of the people praising him? People sef

daveP:


If Zimbabwe win, na then nff go sack this lab scientist wey dey use national team dey experiment like say he dey league football.


From Jpes to this?

Phewwwww.

Dem say e look like binance official

9JAMac10:
Is it still possible for Nigeria to qualify for the World Cup?

For where? Even best loser no sure
