Mehn who saw that tackle on Iwobi from moses

Oasis007:
I think CHAN Eagles deserve some Credits for topping the Group without losing a Match. We are expecting too much from them. Some of us even expected them to fail.

They did their best so far, they didn't lose any Match, conceded just a Goal and scored 4 Goals in the Process; yet some us of see no Reason why we should applaud them?!

If we can't support the home-made Team, then how do we expect the League to grow?! The Lads are doing their Best. Let's support them, let's believe in them, so that we can honorably celebrate with them - if they eventually win the Tournament!

Interesting point there. In a recent interview with John Terry, he was asked how he felt now about Lukaku, De Bruyne and Salah being sold by Chelsea. His response was along the lines of "at the time those players did not improve the team". The important phrase there being 'at the time'

tbaba1234:


Apart from Faleye, none of the others have a super eagles future. Old and not good enough. Faleye's age means he can improve with the right training.

We saw Osas during WAFU. Whenever there was a player who could run at him directly. He was skinned alive. So far, he has not faced any lively winger.

BascoVanVeli:


U can't dispute Osas' quality on the ball.

Please check the assist he made again with the cross!!did you notice something about his movement as a RB, couldn't read the play. The winger had the ball and it was kinda 2 beat 1 and yet the winger still had to pass the ball backwards to Osas b4 speeding past one player and making the cross..

My broda local based players are good but they lack awareness or the brains to know how to solve anything on the field.. A lot of this plays are well constructed by European players..they think 2 steps ahead b4 passing the ball knowing where the ball would finally go to..

A classic example was Iheanacho at man city, debruyne had the ball and nacho was coming to him instead of attacking the danger area..debruyne had to tell him to run there and instead squared the ball to raheem who squared it to nacho to finally score..you can see debruyne was already 3 plays ahead and nacho had no clue where to attack!! That's the classic case of our home base players who are not taught well or can't even read a game play well..

CHAN 2018 QUARTERFINALS PAIRINGS

Zambia vs Sudan

Nigeria vs Angola

Congo vs Libya

You couldn't have said it any better.

Simply put and plain.

I believe this should be the last CHAN for some old players in that team.

Even without CAF fixing an age limit, the NFF needs to set a goal for participating in CHAN. If it is for talent discovery I see no reason why Papas like Rabiu Ali and Osas Okoro would be playing. Are they still hoping to make the Super Eagles team or a team in Europe?

In subsequent CHAN we need to see younger players please. That will add more value to both the league and the national teams.

tbaba1234:


His primary duty is defending and when faced with quality wingers, he has been found wanting. He is one player that i paid particular attention to because of goldfish's high praise of him but he is average at best.

Winner Nigeria Vs Angola plays winner Zambia vs Sudan.

Whao that would be interesting but hope they beat Angola first cos beating Zambia would earn the team deserted respect from guys here.

BascoVanVeli:


U cant come and start comparing KDB to Osas Okoro for goodness sake. Even in the main team our wingers and full backs get mixed up.

Joebie:
Now that CHAN is a grade A FIFA tournament, I don’t think it is best for us to treat it as an age grade tournament. Young players should earn their place in the team regardless. Personally, I would like CAF to change the tournament criteria to include debutants — not restricted to players playing in the domestic league.

Players playing in Africa should be a good start. But eventually, players all over the world who have not earned any prior cap for their national teams.

Kog45:
Thank you,honestly the bashing these guys are receiving here is uncalled for cos it shows total hatred.

This is even worse than what some always perceived as hatred stance of Michael2,goldfish80,komne and forgiveness on Eagles when they make critical analysis of the team.

What am reading here on CHAN team is not critical analysis but serious bashing which must be tone down.

You're not a new comer here na. There is a strong anti home based footballers sentiment here. It's like a phobia. If you're realizing this now, I say "GOOD MORNING".
They claimed our Fifa ranking will be brought down by these guys, when the main Super Eagles brought down the Fifa rankings themselves over the past 3-4 years. The irony I find is that these Chan guys could boast our rankings with a semifinal appearance, which was a personal target I set for the team.

By the way, what do you think of Osas? Have you seen a better right back in tbis championship?

TheGoodJoe:


An easy cop out but the fact is that they were good and not given the right atmosphere to excel. If they had no ability or quality to improve the team, would the management of Chelsea sign them?

The fact is very simple. A player can be good and left on the bench.

tbaba1234:


See, if they play great football, you will see great praise. It will be obvious, no one can deny it.

If they play outstanding football against Angola, i will be the first to praise them but if i see poor quality, i will also comment on that as well.

Trying to suggest that those who criticize are showing "total hatred" is wrong and unfair.

In the first half against Rwanda, how many criticisms did you see apart from the team's inability to finish chances? When they depreciated in the second half, the criticism was deserved.

Let us be honest.

The players are victims of the Nigerian system. A player like Rabiu Ali would have become a greatly player with the right coaching and exposure.

Kog45:
Osas is cool so far but i still want to see better Osas as you rated him.
