edi287: I agree but who will captain martins? mikel? This is where the problem is, it's a cultural thing in the eagles set up that the oldest player captains the team to avoid unnecessary squabble. This is what most of us are concerned about. A martins or enyeama inclusion in that team right now will upset the team balance and we know it. Remember that oliseh had to stylishly freeze mikel out of the team to make musa captain and after oliseh left, the captain band had to be returned to mikel to balance the team again. Moreover let's stop using the past heroics of martins to justify his inclusion, the martins that was raping nesta and maldini in the past is not the same martins today. let's be honest 4 Likes |

Kog45: If it's Martins forget it. He's a very social guy, he'd get along with the team just fine if he's invited. He's a player I personally like, but I think his days with the SE are over. many are scared he'd perform better than the players we have on ground, but I'm not. I'm almost sure these guys would give him a run for his money. |

Komekn get ready to paint Wembley green, if this news turns out to be true. NFF confirm England friendly for Super Eagles - .com Dec 6, 2017 9:16 AM The much-talked-about friendly between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and the Three Lions of England is very much on track latest reports suggest. had before now reported plans for the Nigeria, England friendly but with a caveat that the game will be dependent on the outcome of the World Cup draw. And with Nigeria avoiding the English team in the group phase of the Mundial, the Nigeria Football Federation are said to have now confirmed that Super Eagles will tackle England in a World Cup warm-up in June. “We plan to play a friendly against England in June before the World Cup,” Sanusi was quoted as saying on ScoreNigeria. The venue and other details are expected to be finalised shortly, the NFF scribe further said. Both Nigeria and England will feature at next year’s World Cup. The Eagles are drawn inGroup D along with Argentina, Croatia, and Iceland, while The Three Lions are drawn in Group G with Belgium, Panama and Tunisia. Both countries have clashed once at this level, in November 1995, when England won 1-0 at Wembley courtesy of a David Platt headed winner. 6 Likes |

TheGoodJoe:I thought Rohr is a typical German,no German coach w rate average Ezenwa cos they always go for tall or exceptional keeper, hope you remember how Enyeama lost number one shirt to Ejide during 2008 Afcon. I asked Aiyenugba after afcon and he said bros the moment Vogts saw Ejide height that him and Enyeama knew no way.He settled for Ejide before commencement of training and Ejide didn't disappoint. Honestly i can't imagine myself as a coach and dropped Uzoho and Alampasu for Ezenwa,just too glaring, there is no way Ezenwa will deal with those crosses than the duo,apart from crosses,their physical presence in the goalposts is a plus. The two guys i mean Uzoho and Alampasu just need more friendlies to boost their confidence and also need to push harder for better performance in their club sides. Since we can't find better replacement for Ikeme and Akpeyi and Ezenwa have been behaving like toddlers in goalposts,we don't have options than to build these two guys up,hope Ajiboye too would get his chance at CHAN but very slim cos Ezenwa is CHAN team captain.

edi287: It's a longstanding culture in the eagles for the oldest player to be captain and undisputed leader in the team, mikel can never be captain with an enyeama in the team. The older players have always been disruptive in our national teams or you think a mikel can set the rules for martins? It's not a joke o! It has cost us real problems in the past world cups and afcon tournaments. You think all was well in the camp when yobo was present and enyeama was captain? Have you forgotten how enyeama quickly handed over the afcon trophy to yobo in 2013. We can't simply afford those distractions in the world cup with the group we are in. Our players are not oyinbos for Christ sake despite playing in europe, na thick african blood dem get where seniority na big matter 6 Likes |

Whenever I see news of this kind, my smile broadens, because I know this guy is up for some surprise. ahahaha Nigeria Will Be A Walk-over, They Have No Star Player Apart From Moses- Croatian Coach Says [img]https://3.bp..com/-U9NoBqYqb48/WieYt4K9ceI/AAAAAAAAtMw/Y3bT5IJgJCclrmBoC9rqohIyQW376ZZbwCLcBGAs/s1600/106713-2a928e6c552f40ddc50af8c39b20f28a.jpg[/img] Croatian coach, Boris Pučić, believes his side will thrash Nigeria in their 2018 World Cup fixture on June 16. Speaking on Tuesday, he wrote Nigeria off, saying the only star player in the squad is Victor Moses. ”Obi Mikel plays in China, Moses has been injured for some time and has just returned to Chelsea’s first team, while others are all in some side-tiers. ”Iheanacho and Musa are in reserve in Leicester, Iwobi for Arsenal plays a bit more, but Nigeria is now the shadow of the national team that they once called ‘African Brazil. ”Simply, there is no star player besides Moses in Chelsea and the team is not close to what we remember from the World Cup in the United States or France that played really well.” 1 Like 1 Share |

National team is just one of his various jobs he's handled, so how come you are using the national team to judge him 100%? Not all Nigerian coaches had it easy with the SE, some had to become puppets while some didn't. Siasia had issues with the players too, Keshi had with the Togolese players, it's not peculiar to Oliseh, it has more to do with Africans not respecting their own. Before national team, he coached some European youth teams and now he's doing it with a top club. Cut him some slacks and don't expect everyone to act the way you want. That's his style and so far so good is working for him. He's not the only coach with this way of working, they are every where in the world including known names. (Mourinho, pep etc). junnyjake: |
