No not downplaying their win. What for! I am just been objective. He was asked to come into the pitch the moment the pols guy played the ball backwards thinking no Senegalese player was there. Go rewatch that moment, the pols last man hesitated a bit cos of the confusion. The ball was played right to where he was going so why will he not follow the flight of the ball.

Leave Africa matter. Let’s focus on our Super Eagles

Trying to downplay Senegal’s win. I can tell u for sure if Nigeria has that opportunity no player in that team would have chased that ball like that.

So back to the NFF. Fashanu is committed

TheSuperNerd:
Yep. He, the NFF and any other force. We need all the guys who can make this happen for us. Like make it actually happen.

No be just follow, if he ran a little slower he won’t have gotten that chance. That striker ran like he was running for his life.

Exactly, I’m not even questioning the presence of speedsters in SE, I’m talking about those two words you just used

Mujtahida:

If your story is true I'm glad they benched him. What Rashidi gave us, Fash never even dreamt of it.

Person wey dey for England list of worst ever national players. He is number one

Naija mentality.

What is bad if you have two deadly strikers in a team?

If he is back up to Yekini, na sin?

Emm! You mean after playing 2 matches coming in as a substitute, he is the worst ever England national team player?

Dey believe lies dey go.

Besides, Fashanu was popular in the early 80s. This was before Yekini began to shine.

Committed to talking to them? Or have you suddenly forgotten Pinnick's efforts with some of these guys from Iwobi to Aina and all?

Joebie:

We are talking about Fashanu willing to lend a hand.

TheSuperNerd:

Okay better.

Joebie:

The point is Fashanu did not refuse to play for Nigeria. I used to believe that

Mujtahida:

Na u dey think another thing

TheSuperNerd:
Okay better.

Every time Egypt get on the world stage they flop terribly. Jeez!

edi287:

True. Nacho's finishing is something that we sorely need in this lineup. The question is how do we fit both in alongside Iwobi, Mikel, Ndidi and Vic Moses?
Vic Moses should be played as a wing back but I doubt he'll be cool with that

I would agree with you in the past but with caution.

Without very good support play KC can become anonymous add to that in a physical game he will struggle to impose himself.

ChrisKels:
If this news is anything to go by, then e dun be for us.

I just pray it is owngoal being owngoal, otherwise...

dropping shehu and starting Musa? We are not ready for any world cup. We have to wait for another four years. L

fabyom:
No African team has scored from either corner kick or free kick yet they have conceded most goals from dead ball situations. Football has gone pass the era of dancing around, it is about little details such as crosses, shooting accuracy and dead ball efficiency.
Senegal's goals today came from good fortune. No really outstanding attempt on goal. The second goal will be pursued by any striker cos that was the only choice available

And what if they lost the match? ...A win is a win bro.

EmmGee:

this is a dumb team of the week. for one. isco should have been where etebo is

Alright sir

See as thread dey run

wayodude:


I disagree. Hardly will any foreign born player who is established in a top league agree to play for Nigeria no matter how the NFF is being run.

Why do you disagree

I will admit to handicap in that i will only be able to talk about players in the UK.

In this regard I have personally spoken to a lot of Nigerian origin players and the issue at stake is our approach.

Egypt can only bully in afcon

Mujtahida:

So money is the motivation abi not national pride, not glory, not desire and passion? Okay oo.

Guy leave talk


Whether money motivation, or national pride motivation, i careless... Just give me the God Damn results!!


My entertainment and pride is at stake here


Win anyhow and at all cost.... I don't give a flying fucck the reason why you wanna win

Just fuccking win

Who are the established premier league players of Nigerian origin you have spoken to?

tbaba1234:


I do not insult players. I might criticize how they play but i do not insult.

If Ighalo has a great game against Iceland, I will praise him.

Critical assessment of a player is very wrongly construed as insulting or hate.

I have concluded for the Fanatical fans they are only able to see things one sided. Anything to the contrary is insult, bad- belle and abuse. Very misguided approach I say.

I for one have never observed one derogatory word from you. And appreciate your view.

Eric Abidal now Barcelona's sporting director.

LieDetector:
dropping shehu and starting Musa? We are not ready for any world cup. We have to wait for another four years. Anyone that doesn't see this is a federal character something is blind. It's clear now Rohr isn't the one calling the shots. Shame on NFF. Shame shame and more shame. Nonsense!

Tribalism and Nepotism no go kill us for this country. Anything we wan we must use quota system share am... So much for an Independent nation. I blame the founding fathers.

It is time we adopt this slogan "the best have it" so that we can progress as a nation.


It is still one of the reasons I don't like local coaches handling our national teams. Their level of biasness is out of this world

Odunayaw:
TELL HIM Sir

Actually John is not known to most of these boys on a personal basis. They may have heard of him but as a person in relationship by association I very much doubt.

Fash I know quite well, he even invited me to the opening of a nightclub of sorts he had interest in located in Abuja.

Unfortunately he no longer spends much time in the UK. and his involvement currently with football in the UK very limited.

He is probably more involved with Nigerian football. In 2013/14 he brought a team of U18 Nigerian all stars to the UK to showcase to EPL clubs. So he probably more involved with Nigerian football.

Sportilitica:
Did you watch CHAN?

yes I did

Being a firm believer in attacking football and positive play. I'll go with this formation.

-----------Uzoho-------


Ebuehi/Shehu--Ekong--Balogun--Idowu


--------Mikel/Ndidi-----


---Moses/Etebo---Iwobi--------


Iheanacho--Ighalo/Simi--Musa------





Moses/Etebo and Iwobi charged with falling back to defend when necessary.


Team loaded with attacking players to increase your probability of scoring.


Team flooded with pacy players to wreak havoc on slow defences and also during counters.

goldfish80:
I'm watching Russia VS Egypt and thinking Mikel should be playing the Elneny role, where he will be the spare man in midfield and not the no8 role or SS he played against Croatia.

Elneny is not superfast but compared to Mikel he seems like a sprinter.

Mikel simply doesn't have the legs to play that role. The technical ability, outstanding passing range and vision 100% absolutely a big YES.

But can those attributes overcome stamina and lack of pace. It's open to debate.
