That is why I said, such program would be tailored to the window. No one is to become Man City but the principles should grow in each transfer window.

One transfer window will be about the basics of keeping the ball.

Next tactical and positional insights.

Next defending as a unit.

And grow from there.

But from the first two windows, we must see a very clear identity and possessive play.

It can be done.

Five years down the line like we wasted with Rohr, we would have a sound possessive side that will terrify any side.

Finito.

My idea of flying is dominating and winning. I have never seen England as flying team.

Goke7:


but na we go shout if coach drop player wey we like o!

Katcall:
They have the capacity but lack the capability. England v France, 2022, England pressed and pressed. However, in the end, France won

Odunayaw:
It takes a coach with a win at all cost mentality actually and where we go find am

Goke7:


With which players? We are better be humble. How many of our players are even in the top flight in Europe compared to even Senegal or even Ivory Coast. We got to be honest

solonnachi:
WCQ 2026

South Africa 1-1 Zimbabwe (HT)
Lesotho 0-1 Rwanda (HT)

Now grab your calculator. it is
Rwanda (8pts),
Benin (7pts),
Lesotho (5pts),
South Africa (5pts) ,
Zimbabwe (3pts),
Nigeria (3pts)

Napoleon55:

Finidi is not capable of winning 2 out of 6 remaining matches especially with this same mentality and attitude.

And I'm almost certain that Osimhen won't be available for half of the remaining matches.

Joebie:
The players know themselves. It’s not about the fans. It’s about instilling discipline and promoting excellence.

Goke7:


You have been told we don't have the personnel for it except you want to manufacture the players yourself which cannot happen in a national team setting like Nigeria. By the time we are done trying even Nations Cup, we won't qualify

minfelix:
This our group is just a mumu group, see as Lesotho is struggling against Rwanda, trailing 0-1🤦🏼…see SA and Zim playing 1-1…
I pray lesotho equalize and Zimbabwe wins😜🤪
Kai imagine 9ja was winning all games
By now we for don qualify with 6games to spare with all this mumu result im seeing

elyte89:



Rwanda 7points

TheGoodJoe:


You are missing the point. It is not a one way process but dynamic one. Scouting is a bit part of the process. Grooming is also it. The team has to keep growing and time will show. With time, playing the right way will have us having the materials to challenge any top side but we need to get serious and start.

Goke7:


The coaches that tried to instil the discipline and grind out the results we say they are playing negative football. We got to decide what we want

Gajagojo:

You are majoring in minors

I am interested in the big picture. Not Finidi or Boniface but a strategic long term view
I started watching Nigerian football in 1978 . The coach is not the problem

It is the NFF and the fans

You see nothing wrong with not appointing a coach on time but are telling me about Boniface
Do you know how many coaching assistants Finidi has been given? How many scouts or support staff?

Who appoints a coach one year after the qualifiers have started?

Katcall:
Rwanda has scored. 7 points and they go top

Well this is what I like to hear, I am in complete agreement with your expectations. Success is built over the long term not the short term.

The English FA decided over a decade ago that the players being introduced into professional football ⚽. Through the academy systems were simply outdated, technically inept, lacking skill and creativity. Essentially kick 🦵🏿 and rush was obsolete.

As a consequence the English football academy needed to produce players who can play top level technical football and have the athletic ability to compete with players anywhere in the world 🌍

The whole youth training programme was changed and great emphasis placed on technical proficiency skill and athleticism.

Arsene Wenger once said if you don't have technical skill at 14 it's almost impossible to develop after that age.

What I am saying maybe the problem is much deeper, our football development has regressed very badly unfortunately. For how long have we been waiting for the next Jjay ,Finidi, Olise, etc

Katcall:
Beside the SE has never been a possessional team. They wait and let the opponent lose the ball and then they breakaway

minfelix:
current standing with ongoing play as @ 6:07pm 😅😀
Benin 7pts
Rwanda 7pts
Lesotho 5pts
SA 5pts
Nigeria 3pts
Zimbabwe 3pts

komekn:


Chei I shane 🙈🙉🙈 see supposed giant of African football ⚽⚽⚽

Joebie:
Same coach could only register 2 points after 2 games.

Let’s not forget Finidi didn’t have Osimhen, who was very instrumental to our AFCON run whether he scored or not.

Granted Finidi made bad choices in his selection, and maybe tactics as well.

Amedino99:
South Africa scores

Goke7:


It was from the okocha era we started getting addicted to this eye catching football. In fact those days it was when the eagles was leading by a comfortable margin like 3-0 they start showboating with cheers from the crowd eeeee no coach needed to teach the team possession football then, they get the job done and entertain the crowd later. But now we got to teach them how to trap ball sef, may God have mercy!
