But dis finidi record worse gan ….just 2competitive games and he was relieved of his post …dts d shortest reign ever as a super eagles coach 🥹🥹🥹

Katcall:
We can only hope for best losers spot. Thank goodness, our group is made up of six teams. We stand a chance if we manage to garner at least 15 points

daveP:



Right now, we are in Calculator Mode and i dunno if you've thought about it, but this very Amunike CAN'T win 5/6 of the remaining games left to give us any iota of hope right now. There are many others that NFF know too that are good. Besides, being out of the job for a some time is a problem imo. It is what it is.

I want to advice that the new coach take up more friendlies with Africa opposition.. e get why..

TheGoodJoe:


Captain or no Captain, Musa was clubless and had no reason being invited. That is far worse than inviting Taminu. At least Taminu was not clubless and why should a player without a club remain captain?

Napoleon55:

I wasn't in support of Musa's prolonged invitations even though it were for off the pitch reasons,
but seriously do you honestly want to compare Musa's quality to Taminu,clubless or not?

ArewaQuitessenc:


Why TF are we discussing Musa in 2024? Let the guy get a club and retire in peace abeg.

komekn:


Desire is a very perceptive led deduction not an objective one, so l will not even talk about it.

I don't think you want to compare two different generations of football, it's too problematic.

What l will say is our players in 1994 , were on top of the game playing in the top teams of Europe. We had Amunike and one Gbenga who both played for Barcelona.

Ajax was a European football ⚽ powerhouse then and we had several players that went through Ajax.

Now just like almost everything else in Nigeria we have regressed badly.

TheGoodJoe:


You already showed how horrendous Musa's invitation is and why it can't be compared to Taminu's recruitment.

You said your self that a position for a player to help the team on the field reason was used to pick a player for "off-the-field" reasons.

Do you see how ridiculous Musa's call up was?

How can you compare that to Taminu's recruitment?

Napoleon55:

Musa's invitation was wrong but his invitation was not in any way affecting our performances because he wasn't playing.
But we are talking about inviting and starting an undeserved rookie ahead of more qualified players in Europe,which reduced our defense overall confidence.

elyte89:


But it’s obvious dis job is bigger Dan finidi ,I tot he could handle d pressure dt comes with d job,but I was wrong.his aura sef doesn’t ooze confidence like someone who is ready to take charge

Napoleon55:

Rohr,Peseiro or any other foreign coaches wouldn't have called up all those jokers that Finidi invited in place of better defenders in Europe,at least.
Not that is a garantee that foreign coaches will give us success but local coaches are less trust worthy especially when it comes to corruption.

Siasia is my most preferred local coach,with five years contract,Siasia will give us at least one AFCON.

Truidstarr:
Na oyibo dem wan give am to. My problem is if Finidi will agree to be number 2 again. The proposed techical adviser will want to bring his own team.

Rockyrascal:
we could have invited him a long time ago

TheGoodJoe:
Anybody but Amunike.

Fully understood.

ChrisKels:
Pair him with Onyedika or you pair Onyedika with Onyeka. Ndidi should go to the bench.

elyte89:



It’s looking more like a premeditated move,more like employing finidi knowing fully well dt he might mess up to create a back strong claims for foreign coach .

humility33:

Amunike is another calamity waiting to happen
Someone that could not qualify the under 20 will do worse

To hell with all this clamour for indigenous coaches

This indigenous coaches can get a national team job in small countries like Liberia so why gamble with them with the super eagles job?

humility33:


And lost all the 3 matches at afcon?

How many matches did he win to qualify them for afcon? And if not for the extended format to 28 teams, I am sure Tanzania won't have qualified....please prove me wrong

humility33:


Don't be pained Bro

We don't want amunike

Daninya33:
Going forward,Maduka Okoye should be our 1st choice Goal Keeper.

TheSuperNerd:
I have an old time football administrator who writes on football in Nigeria, knows the ins and outs of the NFF, who came up with this exact thought immediately the NFF confirmed Finidi over Amunike. He didn't wait for Finidi's first game, he immediately sent me his write up and said this is part of the NFF's plan.

He said he has proof that some of them admitted Amunike is better qualified than Finidi but went with Finidi based on an agenda they had.

Truth is they knew Finidi will fail.


Now, here we are today.

TheGoodJoe:


Musa robbed the likes of Nathan Tella and Childera Ejuke a chance for call up. We are talking of a player without a club and not in action at all making the Super Eagles team. It is far worse than Taminu's invitation.

TheGoodJoe:


Captain or no Captain, Musa was clubless and had no reason being invited. That is far worse than inviting Taminu. At least Taminu was not clubless and why should a player without a club remain captain?

TheGoodJoe:


That is exactly what Finidi did. Play the best to expose your weaknesses. Tough European teams will expose us like Portugal did.

TheSuperNerd:


Yes, and you wanted Finidi George. See where that got us.
