that would be wonderful. although you know Nigeria, if the owner does. the business does with or but I would be happy if you could put me through. I don't mind going to Abuja every weekend for that.
I wish I could tie down a coach like that!

TheGoodJoe:


It pains me that we have a coach like Monday Sinclair and we are not using him. That is like the Wenger or Guardiola of Nigerian football.

I hope to get to him soon. He is still around and watches most Rivers United home games. I am too busy now. If I get the chance, I might talk him into organizing a coaching Seminar. Even Analyst needs this. Papa is still sharp and sound.

Mickael2:



the football world is funny. Guardiola is the best coach around now, what exactly is he doing? he is using a formation that was used in the 70s without adding anything at all and it is working. sometimes you go forward sometimes you go backwards, I think after Rohr, our next coach should. try to bring back our old all attacking football. When was the last time we beat a team by 3 goals? it was against Mozambique in 2010, coincidentally it was Amodu in charge. back in the 80s and 90s we used to score goals for fun because we attacked a lot, I miss those days

Our biggest challenge is the financial challenge. It baffled me that our players talked about collecting their allowances in dollars next time.

Nigeria is in a recession. If the NFF, the Sports Ministry, the President and some good Samaritans are supporting the team, the least our players can do is collect their allowances in naira.

TheGoodJoe:


Before we can talk about how we will set up, we need to address the devotion of the team. Are Success and Moses. V ready to run their hearts out to give us goals?

The devotion we saw in Ekong, Ndidi, Omeruo, Mikel, Iwobi, Iheanacho, Onazi was impressive. Do we have other players ready to fight for the team or this is just another Avenue to mint cash?

Mickael2:


the disadvantages of having mainly foreign based players. They don't live here how can they know? although it isn't really much of an excuse but... somebody here said that's the problem with Africans, money. You have won 4 matches in a row and all you can think of is money, not the joy that comes with it

Mickael2:


I think Moses has decided to get a good grip on his club football first and at his age, He needs that. he has been devoted since to us, now he doesn't want to do anything to anger the coach, I won't argue of someone tells me that it was the coach that told him to say that he is injured besides the same coach is benching Mikel for doing a similar thing. but Success, I just don't know, He is a doubt for their next game too so maybe he is just injured prone, He did get injured at the u17 world cup so maybe he is made of glass.

joseph1013:
You can't be taken serious when you make comments like this. Did you see the comment by his club's fan? Did you see the video he shared? Did you watch the U17 World cup? Do you think Arsenal scouts are fo.ols?

TheGoodJoe:


Exactly. We are very low on the ranking table with talents as good as many great nations. The NFF agreed to pay them regularly. Collect naira and let us move on. A Nigerian is counting out $47,000 every month to pay the coach because he wants the team to succeed but these guys are ready to cause problems because they want dollars.

That news spoilt my mind. All minds should focus on beating Algeria. Winning the group will shoot us up the ranking. The players need to show some understanding to help the team move forward. 3.5 million naira for each player is very big. The NFF deserved commendation not such remarks.

I hope the players get their minds back on winning Algeria and forget about money a bit.

You must be a very funny one.

Forgiveness is a fat Liar, while Oasis007 is a quarter-Liar

(just joking with the quotation)

LOL! You are really a funny Dude! I may seem partial with my support for Forgiveness, but I'm ain't! Just don't want him to feel bullied and isolated because of his philosophy. (he would surely laugh at this comment)

We can't all be on the same page - but my concern is; this thread shouldn't be turned to Politics Section. Maybe I missed, but I'm kinda convinced this is the first time you are engaging in E-Confrontation. LOL!

I think we should return normalcy back to the thread ASAP! We have few Days left to the Algeria Match, Rohr is kinda disappointed that the Thread was derailed.

Rohr is waiting for us to start recommending Players based on Merit. Forgiveness shouldn't be feeding us with craps! LOL!

I enjoin all aggrieved Parties to sheath their swords...... it's time to start discussing Algeria Match in proper!

Oasis007:




Are you really a Troll or just obsessed with foreign-born Players?! LOL!

I think the Elders have spoken well. There is limit to everything. The Newbies are already misunderstanding you, your opinion and philosophy. LOL

It's fair to argue with facts and stats - doing justice to the argument is far more important. It's true that stats don't lie but sometimes it's misleading like a Youtube clip!

Fourth best club that did not qualify for Champions League. Wait, they did not qualify for Europa.

By the way, I want to give a big shout out to Mickael2. As much as I am wearing my boxing gloves for him, I believe without a doubt his technical understanding of the game is very valuable to us.

He does not just understand the possessive attacking philosophy but played it. I think such playing experience is valuable to us. I hope he helps us understand some technical tactics and strategies we missed.

Glad to have you here, Mickael2.

TheSuperNerd, please send him the E-wine.

K. Nwakali played for 30 minutes today and started the move that led to the 2nd goal in his team 2:1 win... Kid is gradually stepping up.

1. That is not the most recent ranking..

2. It is based solely on performances in the champions league over 5 seasons, it does not put local league into the analysis

forgiveness:


When I said Iwobi is a Toddler to Solanke, I didn't blink an eye.

Logical it is very correct based on some statistics.

Iwobi was nobody in the English under age set up when Dominic Solanke was pulling the string.

Iwobi was dusted again by Dominic Solanke in club youth setup.

In all the youth competitions they both participated Dominic Solanke was better than Iwobi.

He was voted England Youth player of the year ahead of Iwobi who was never nominated eventhough he was an English youth player as at then.

He was chosen to play with the 3 Lions.

He has gone to play in Champions League ahead him.

Currently, he is a third striker in the fourth best club in the world.

Do you think he bribed his way through like dey do here?

ChrisKels:


Iwobi opted to rep Nigeria hence the invitation. Does your Solanke see the SE as a worthy team to play for?? He feels more English than Nigerian. U can still prove me wrong by showing me a link where he said he wanna rep Nigeria, just as Iwobi did. Ruben Loftus Cheek, Nathan Chaloba etc have never had any senior international invitations, yet they played their way atleast into Chelsea Super subs, so what's stopping ur Solanke?? Are those two guys not his mates. U r still waiting for him to make his international debut before u would consider him worthy to dorn the blue shirt. Ndo

I dey ABJ. By that '96, I'd be two but the way my mum usually mention those guys, I was like "mama been dey watch eagles?" na for korea/japan my eye open small. Any other Eagles' talk before then is hearsay.

forgiveness:



Please, show me the recent one.

As you have rightly said 'it is based solely on the performance in the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE..'

It is meant for the champion in the local league. Meaning before you play you must be a Champion or...

Besides, the last ten years shows Chelsea won the league more than Manchester city and Arsenal. Thanks

Mickael2:


see my brother, I didn't want to comment on this again but I will. I said earlier that I would choose Xavi over Ronaldnho and De Bruyne over HAZARD and I stand by it. if you watch Success closely you will see that he can dribble probably not as good as Hazard but assuming he started his career at a good club he would be just as good as Hazard trust me, so if Success had started at Chelsea just like Solanke, trust me he would be benching Willian by now or at least he will be the first sub any day. there are many players who can do what Hazard does but because they didn't start at a good academy they never fulfilled that potential. after reading everything you posted since, I decided to go and watch their games and compare their goals and assists. so you know why Solanke does not play at Chelsea? because he is a poacher not a player, Conte does not play with a poacher, you can see Costa coming to midfield to play. now Solanke can't do that half as well Iheanacho , although you may argue that he has a better eye for goal but in a team game you need to be creating chances too, watch Chelsea vs Leicester city, Costa created 3 good chances, Iheanacho does just that. so when comparing the two, Solanke might be the better goalscorer although I highly doubt that but for.modern day football, poaching alone isn't sufficient. lewandowski.is losing his place to Kimmich right now because of that, you can find a lot of good poachers but only few.strikers can truly influence a game without scoring and Iheanacho is among so any coach will take Iheanacho ahead of Solanke. and if Success had started playing for chelsea's academy, He would be considered a better prospect than Solanke. you argument on Iwobi is just funny, do you think it's easy for an African to bench an Englishman in the EPL? but Iwobi is benching Chamberlain, when Ramsey comes to he will bench him, what else do you want?
