I noticed that of Emenike but I thought he was reacting to a fellow player's criticism. If it was towards Keshi, then that was disrespectful and totally uncalled for.

GreenBobo:

He declined shaking hands with the assistant coach when he was substituted! I like him because he pours out his heart when he plays for the S.E's. I believe that he's a dedicated player and all that... He's just out-of-form.... I hope he'd start scoring goals pretty soon!

Disclaimer!
What you're about to read is a personal opinion concerning two s.e players. And yes, it is subject to criticism!

Just before Emmanuel Emenike was subbed by coach Stephen Keshi, there appeared to have been a (major) disagreement between the coach and Emenike. Emenike appeared to have asked the coach to sub him,if he (coach ) was not pleased with his play/performance. Coach Keshi obliged him and immediately he was substituted by the coach! Knowing Keshi for who and what he is (his relationship with his players inside and outside the pitch ), I fear for Emenike! One way or the other, Keshi will most certainly, have him pay for daring!

Secondly and quite obviously, Mikel and Onazi had some clogs in their wheels today, and they decided to take it out on the pitch of play. Mikel was obviously on the receiving end (my opinion again ). Owing to the immense and unusual power and influence Mikel wields over the S.E's team, Onazi might be heading towards a rocky path!

Did you notice these scenarios?
Am I just over reacting?
What's your opinion(s)?

Kog45:
I cant say much on Emenike issue but Onazi and Mikel faceoff is not an issue for people who really played the game.Mikel was trying to tell Onazi that you nearly cost us the game for on the congolese player that nearly break Enyeama back.

Mrval20:

I wish him luck too and I hope he doesn't grow wings like others.

Goke7:
truth is some of our players have not been doing well e.g. emenike and even onazi including players like ambrose, thank God for oshanuwa who looks set to displace under performing echeijele, this is the reason why it looks as if keshi is a bad coach but many Nigerians don't know this, they blame keshi for our players' inconsistency.

Emenike should brace up or sit back in turkey and face his club, can he try such with a white man? african players sometimes are the ones who give the leeway to african FAs to bring in carpenter foreign coaches.

GreenBobo:

Mikel needs stiff competition to up his game!

nanotechy:
Emenike should be sanctioned!! What blatant display of indiscipline! He can't try that in Turkey... And this is not the first time he is doing this. After he was even substituted the egomaniac couldn't hide his unruliness when he refused a handshake from keshi. What's really wrong with our players They are not the only uneducated sports men in the world

GreenBobo:

In recent times.... soccer coaches are frequently referred to as 'managers'... Reasons ain't far fetched. There's considerable pressure on Emenike and Keshi, and of course, the entire team to deliver,therefore, Keshi should have adopted an instructional model/approach that is less intrusive on the players! Sure,Emenike goofed,big time!

I watched the match again today and I saw Emenike arrogancy and insult to Keshi using his hand to pass the message "if you not okay with my style of play don't complain you can substitute me " I was very happy Keshi removed him ,these days the guy is out of form let him sit on the bench .The guy that replaced him did very well and even scored a goal .

GreenBobo:

Yes, but then, Onazi didn't take it lightly! He was obviously pissed! Onazi-Mikel brouhaha has been there for some time now .... will definitely explode someday! With Keshi accusing some of his teamplayers for allegedly sabotaging him, HEADS WILL CERTAINLY ROLL! Keshi is just waiting for his 'time'....

GreenBobo:

Mikel needs stiff competition to up his game!

nanotechy:
I just want to believe that he has already apologised to keshi and all fences mended. The guy has given a lot to the team but I'm very worried this behavior has become serial. He needs a wake up spanking..

Goke7:

onazi too needs stiff competition, his game is going down

GreenBobo:

What happened to the scouting network of the NFF? When I was growing up, I used to see them all over the streets, scouting to find the best legs that Nigeria could offer! No b bad tin if SE get team 'a', a very good team 'b' and a fine? team 'c'!

GreenBobo:

Some players have lost all the respect they once had for Keshi, these guys are just tolerating each other! So much distrust in the air.

Three7Ty9:
Musa should come in from the bench. Dude most times plays like he left his thinking cap in the dressing room. Senseless football.

Goke7:


if the guys scores a brace in the next game, will you still come back here with this kind of post?

Goke7:


if they cannot respect the coach, then they should quit the national team, what are they even playing in the first place?

GreenBobo:

I believe there's a remote cause of this loss of respect and affection! Respect is a very MUTUAL business!

Musa is a good player no doubt but most times he lack football sense ,he has d speed but not intelligent doing counter attacks,weather he scores hatrick or brace he will be good he comes in doing the 2nd half when the opponents are tired and worn out
