Avoid what? If you want the cup, you have to defeat the opposition in front of you. Yes it's cowardice to avoid them. Flying Eagles played badly in the first half. Hopefully their errors would be collected in the second half.

I hope to see some yahaya and Moses coming in for sokari and bulbwa.

Give thanks to God in all situations. We r out but not the end, they can still bounce back in u-23.

You are wrong, serbia would have been an easier prey compare to the Germans. This need no analogy, it's just plain. Germany is probably the most consistant football playing country in the world, i just can't understand what gave Manu Garba the impetus to challenge Germany when there is another option of playing serbia, it beat my imagination. Now i'm wondering what will happen to this lovely thread now that this team have disappointed some, cos for sure i already knw that they won't pass r.16 when they foolishly beat Hungary

linked:
Hahaha... Maybe that was the option Manu said he would explore. ... Anyway he can see now it is not working.. Hope he will do the needful

tyinter46:
Manu garba is a fool.....wat is Bernard bulbwa doing
At the startup and why must he play 90 mins............. Why didn't he play the other attacking players at all? He should have brought in moses instead of isaac

Birikiti:
So sad for the players it ended like this. Well done guys. You go garner more experience and come back in 2 years to win the cup!

joseph1013:
Not a single shot on target. I'm shocked.

This is not the team I know.

TheGoodJoe:


Man Joseph1013 you know this team, you know this coach. How come no changes. We know how God Nacho is. He did not bring him to attack. No defender for a midfield change to increase midfield numerical advantage.

Bloody terrible. Lost my respect for Manu.

lardy96:
I'm not one to support bringing in foreign coach buh I think its what we need. all of our coaches are clueless.#manudoesnotknowbest# #Threadclosed#

Krasid:
That's what happens when you play a disciplined and organized team like Germany.

dabossman:


The Serbians are similar to the Germans. Tall, physical and very technical and disciplined, especially in defence. They have a system for producing these kind of players. If we play against Serbia like we did today, we will still probably lose

Sadly, Manu Garba lost this game for us. But, I'm not disheartened. We have some talented players for the future in this team. They just need to be properly managed.

joseph1013:

[
Mehn...I'm still lost for words. I just cant explain what happened. I'm confused.

But to say something...Manu let Germany win this match. Plain and simple! There is no other way to sugarcoat it.

kellycute:
If I see awoniyi for any of our match I go swear for am. Pass that ball to success, he dey selfish he wan dribble with dat k leg wey he get.

Fribery:
Manu Garba killed this game... we had no midfield. we lost entirely in the middle.. then you tell me why yahaya, iheanacho n simon should be on the bench. its a pity but the truth is dis is the end. not just the end of the road 4 nigeria in this tournament but 4 most of those player.. especially those that hv not secured any spot in Europe.

TheGoodJoe:


And if the next coach sells the game, what happens. We have seen this over the years.

I hope Man City sets up an academy in Nigeria and rescue our young talents from corrupt officials.

Imagine one change in the whole match we were dominated. [color=#990000]Coming from a coach we know is a tactical genius.[/color]

chuks404:
I have been following this thread but today manu disappointed me. It shows clearly that Nigerian coaches don't like praise take keshi as case study. Once they get little laurels, Then they can't listen again. Next thing is projecting your players for selfish gains. I always knew him as an impartial coach but today he showed another side I doubt he ever had.you have someone like moses and iheanacho on the bench and you never tried them. Rubbish. God save our football. Germany outclassed us period.

TheGoodJoe:


There is no way. Just one change and not the right change tactically. Man, I read Manu's words and shiver. I rate him tactically in the class of Wenger. Then you see this kind of myopic coaching. Then you know something is wrong.

linked:
Manu strives on the ingenuity of his players not necessarily his tactical nous. He usually set up his team in a style that suite team cohesion .... But sadly he was just trying to be tactical in this game by adopting an approach that doesn't work.... He shot himself on the foot... I warned him
