A team and country that depend on fasting, prayers and good luck to succeed instead of hard work is a failure.
Ask great footballers and great economy's of this world.

A coach tells a country to fast n pray.

Only in Nigeria.

You, of all people, still have the gumption to write this. You spilt blood on NL defending a clueless, tactically and technically plus managerially handicapped coach like your life depended on it, even when the signs were staring you in the face.

Well, since it's the season of blame, I, Deemain, hereby blame you thegoodjoehunt3, Keshi and GEJ for this atrocious fall from grace. Without men like you all over this country, our football would have reached the stratosphere by now.

Abeg chop your own shame. You deserve it. And while you are at it, apologize to NL sports section for your sins, repent and amend your ways.

[b]It is people like you that are the problem. You can still write Coach Keshi is clueless tactically and technically.

I am sorry. You are wrong. First of all, that man worked under a crazy condition. He was terminated his job twice during his reign. Worked without pay for months and lacked talents. What do you want him to do? His mistake was succumbing to pressure.

Let is start with a tactical point. The Coach of South Africa is sound technically. I am sure you would agree that. Did you watch how Coach Keshi made the SA Coach's playbook look like thrash. If Muisa took his chances, we would have been three goals up. Uche squandered lots of goals, including a one on one chance.

So, tell me how he is tactically clueless?

My problem with Coach Keshi is simple. I supported him because he had his approach to the game and followed it. He succumbed to pressure. He brought back Uche. Giving Aluko that run would have been better. Emenike should have been dropped and Aaron Samuel should have started.

That is where he failed. Succumbing to pressure from guys like you. Please we outplayed South Africa in that game. A tactical and clueless coach can not. So you guys make real points.[/b]

We have heard you. I will come back to you when we start building a new team and new/good/great players start emerging. 170 million Nigerians and a Coach chooses an awkward and slow Egwuekwe, an unfit Omeruo and an out of form Emenike. Benches his best creative midfielder, Aluko. Sorry for you o. SA took us to the cleaners. I don't even want to argue this with u. We only dominated the game towards the last 10 mins @ 2 goals down and with Aluko's introduction.

Well, I saw all these before and cried out here: https://www.nairaland.com/1810220/opinion-keshi-should-not-given

But your likes would have none of that. Now, that the worst has happened, the shame should pass round to all Keshi sychophants too. Abeg collect ya own joor!

Keshi should please go. I am tired of him. Fighting with players, playing obscure players. He is not a serious coach. NFF we need a standard technical coach who can read the game.

The guy is only man enough to admit that keshi made errors in the match against S.A. why do you want to hang him over that? All the supporters of uche should also come out to admit that uche did not merit his comeback to the eagles after all, they told us that he was the messiah, Let them come out and explain why he failed to deliver when it matters most.

DeeMain:


1. First, if you are a good coach and the fans want to force a player who you don't want on u, you stand your ground or resign. He stood his ground but his results got worse with time leading to the revolt by fans and his sack, and eventual reinstatement by GEJ. By this time the game was almost up.

2. Uche is a good player and has served this country well. There are many good players that are not being invited by Keshi for reasons best known to him: Martins, Uche Kalu,Haruna Lukman, Iheanacho etc. There are better defenders and choices in this country of 170 million people than Egwuekwe, aged Ambrose and an out-of-form Omeruo and an average Agbim. A coach who is quarelling with or not using his best players and not producing results at the same time is calling for a revolt by the fans and that's what happened.

3. We needed a miracle in Congo and to win our last match at home with SA. He brought in Uche, who played well and scored in the first game (a penalty) which we won 2-0, though we were poor generally. Uche was also his best striker and tormentor-in-chief against SA, as Musa had a bad a game and Emenike was unfit as usual (what coach allows unfit players to play at the expense of other good players he should have called up or those on the bench? It beats me). One goal and one assist in two games is not a bad statistic for a striker my bro.

Bottomline: the buck stops with Keshi and the Master that called him back. Leave Uche or the fans out of this!

Goke7:


with your very long post, still you were not able to defend uche properly, if uche was the best striker as you stated, he should have gotten a brace against S.A. or at least a goal, nearly cannot kill a bird, if you can make excuses for uche, I can also make excuses for keshi but we don't need those long stories now:

Bottom Line: They all failed Nigerians whether it is keshi, uche and all players and staff that were on duty period. No one should be excluded!

DeeMain:


Your opinion my bruv and I respect that. But the buck stops at the coach (or Leader) that selects and manages. It's why they are fired and hired and this will not be an exception.

Goke7:


I am also of the opinion that keshi should go but not only him, some players as well including the likes of uche, emenike, onazi, ambrose, omeruo [until he improves], echejeile. We think these guys are very good players but sorry they are not, if the next coach continues with these players, nothing i tell you will change. We need to inject younger players especially from the local league who are hungry for succes.

We've been deceiving ourselves, we longer have quality players abroad even some of the players people feel keshi left out are not as good as we think. Having a home based super eagles is the way forward.

The problem started from the sack of Sylvannus Okpala- the tactical genius not Keshi.
We were doing well until NFF sacked Sylvannus

thegoodjoehunt3:
I think the pressure from the NFF and Ex-Super Eagles players got to Coach Keshi. Many criticised Coach Keshi for being arrogant. It was his arrogance that kept the home based boys playing regularly in the squad.

I wish Coach Keshi was strong enough to resist the NFF pressure. Maybe that was why he was left without pay and later a contract for so long. That was the only way they could bend him.

iconise:

I've been trying to open a thread about Sylvanus Okpala but antispambot won't let the thread(s) live.

Syvlanus Okpala has been the brain box behind Eagles success since 2013.

Remember, Keshi was perpetually calling for his reinstatement.

Goke7:


keshi's reinstatement after being sacked also broke him finally cos there was no way uche would have made it back to the team. This was why siasia failed too, it was after he bowed to the pressure of recalling osaze to the team, that we also failed to qualify for afcon 2012, until nff, the sporst journalists, ex players and all fans begin to allow coaches do their jobs without interference, we will continue to have problems with our national teams for a long time to come. why appoint a coach if you can't trust him to make a good selection of players, it doesn't make sense to me.

our under age teams and female teams do very well becasue nff do not interfere in their coaches' jobs as much as the senior national team.

we complain about Government interference in our football but the greatest interference killing our football is the nff' intereference in our coaches' selection of players

tuffgongjo:
No matter how we want to share blame,keshi also must(and do have his share)be blamed,after that confederation cup,keshi never look like a man who really knows where he is staring his ship anymore,result wise(since the game is result oriented)he wasn't delivering,he(just lkike every indigenious)coach showed that weakness for the powers that be(maybe cus of money sha),he should have stood his ground$call their bluff over the Uche's saga,though Emenike wasn't helping cause also(failure to score),he should have told 'em to stay off or he will jump ship.

Goke7:


my guy, keshi could only call the nff's bluff before he was sacked initially, after his reinstatement, he had no choice than to cooperate with the powers that be by calling uche back and continue to play a fumbling emenike, it was beyond him, when has the nff ever taken responsibilty for the eagles failure? This is why its easy for keshi to blame the players and others for his failure. After afcon 2013, nff and keshi have not been working together, loosing out of afcon 2015 was the final result of that bitter relationship
