If Siasia this, if Siasia that..

Siasia that couldn't qualify us for ordinary Afcon

If he's so good at coaching why doesn't he currently have a job?

Icon4s:


It was very obvious Siasia was not matured enough for the senior team job.

We gave him some Time and tried him again in 2015. He seemed to have gotten better but still not yet ready.

There was no way we would have continued with an obviously inexperienced coach like Siasia after his performance during the 2012 AFCON qualfiers. Their was no need to be patient with a coach like that.

TheGoodJoe:


Even if you are talented as a coach, it is difficult for African coaches to secure good jobs. Remember Oliseh's travails in Europe?

I will always praise Siasia for his bravery and understanding of the game. I have no shred of doubt with time he can build a Super Eagles that will play with bravery and confidence.

TheGoodJoe:


That is the problem.

A lot of people jump in with their negative way of understanding the game, forgetting that in the long run, the Super Eagles have claimed down the ladder of great football.

I remember when we were tagged one of the teams in World football that plays good football.

Siasia was building us in the right path but people were so eager for small gains and preferred him to have adopted a negative approach to just secure qualification.

With a long term goal in place and room for growth of the team, he would coach with bravery, set us up offensively and with time, we would regain our status as one of the footballing powerhouses of the game.

Earthquake1:


Why doesn't he pick an NPFL side or an NNL style and prove his worth

Eeh, He is waiting for a SE job, even if Rohr is sacked Emmanuel Amunike, Emenalo, Finidi George are next in line, let him continue to wait

You call an AFCON qualification small gain?

How do you even expect to build a team when u cannot qualify for tournaments?

Football is all about results, not theories otherwise Slavisa Jokanovic (former Fulham coach) would still have his job

I keep repeating.
World class! World class!! World class!!!
Glory 2022!

We can't be aiming to reach at least the semifinals in WC 2022 and still be limiting our pool of players.

If Tammy decides to play for us we should accept him. If the German boys Rohr wooed change their minds we should accept them.

Look how far we have come. There was a time our team was filled with the likes of Mba, Oboabona, Gambo, Babatunde, Reuben Gabriel, Oshaniwa etc.

Now we can boast of fairly above average players since Rohr came in. That's a steady progress we shouldn't stall.

Let's stop encouraging mediocrity in the name of pride.
We are not Germany. So we need to swallow our pride and get the best in anticipation for a solid team.

This year's AFCON is going to be a cracker. All the best players in Europe will be available unlike in the past when it was hosted in Jan/Feb while European leagues were busy and the likes of Egypt were able to win it back to back because top teams did not play with their full strength teams.

This years AFCON will be full of quality play and technicality from top teams. You get to watch Salah, Mane, Aubumeyang, Iwobi etc.

Victor Moses is welcome back to the team. Rohr also should not give up on scouting the quality additions and wooing them.

If football is all about results, Roy Hodgson would have won the Champions League back to back. Heck, Tony Pullis would have gotten the award as the World best coach.

charlesemeka85:
Oga rohr's impact on the team is evident till date. He has infused more young talents and is out to scout and bring in more quality to the team unlike our previous coaches. Rohr has his own flaws but when it comes to players management and scouting I think he is the best we have had after westahof.

This is a man who make out time to visit some of our players, watch them play and also dialogue with clubs where some of our players a denied enough playing time. The likes of keshi and Co will never give chukwueze a chance so soon, he will be told he isn't strong enough and should start out with the u20 team

Earthquake1:


Roy Hodgson and Tony Pulis did not win the Champions league so what are you saying?

TheGoodJoe:


The factors and quality in the Nigerian league would never bring out the best in a coach like Siasia. Let Rohr go and coach in one of these leagues and let us see whether he would last.

TheGoodJoe:


We lost to Spain in the confeds but one thing was clear, we gave them one of their toughest games of the tournament. We were on route to something but unfortunately, other factors affected the team.

Conservative football keeps the team stagnant or even rolls the team back in quality.

To become a top team takes conscious efforts and bravery or we will stay were we are. Scared of South Africa.

TheGoodJoe:


It takes time, patience and working towards a path to achieve greatness. We should be working towards developing an energetic, intensive and offensive means to give us the ability to blow off even tough oppositions.

Not for us to be patient working on a strategy that will tow us down the wrong course.

If we continue down this path, five years from now, we will still be parking bus hoping to win South Africa or draw to qualify.

TheGoodJoe:


We build by continuously improving our play with conscious steps. The AFCON is but 7 games if the team gets to the finals. If not 3-6 games. I doubt that is enough to build a formidable side.

It takes the use of every opportunity of the international breaks to keep building. Training and playing in braver fashions. Setting up in systems that will favor the most offensive players in the team. Playing local and foreign friendly games when the opportunity comes. That is when big gains are made. When you look back and see that you are far better than the past.

TheGoodJoe:


You are critiquing style of play, making the attacking model deficient. So why is the conservative one not treated with the same hard hand?

If Tammy decides to play for us,it is OK for me . But to approach him and start begging him to play for us is just a disrepute. Now tell me what Tammy will add to the SE if called up. For a tournament like AFCON, we have got a decent number of quality so calling up Tammy doesn't change anything.

And AFCON qualfiers are how many games? 6. And out of which maybe only 1 or 2 teams can match ur strength. Is that competitive enough to build a team compared to the AFCON where every game is as competitive as they can get?

Who says u cannot play friendlies if you qualify for AFCON? Infact AFCON qualfication even make a team play more friendlies.

U cannot not say you want to build a team and u would prefer to stay away from the AFCON because u don't want "short gains". Not for a team of Nigeria's status. The AFCON is the very right place to build that team.

Earthquake1:


Attacking or defensive model, all that matters is result

Mourinho won Champions league as a defensive coach, Guardiola won Champions league as an attacking coach

Both are considered world class coaches because of their results

TheGoodJoe:


That is my simple point. Use all the qualifiers, World Cup, AFCON as a continuous march into building a formidable squad. Play with bravery continuously. Sometimes you fall on the way but in the long run, you march towards a better team. In the long run better results.

But restricting goals to qualify for AFCON by any means possible and celebrating it, even though there is no real growth in our play, in the long run, we will see we are still in the same position.

My point is made.

Mickael2:

Bro no offence eh, but na black and white TV you dey use?

busky007:
at a time in football èven offensive coaches become conservative. Remember mourinho critizie for parking the bus won Europa league while kloop with gengenpress is yet to win a trophy
Man city vs lfc saw kloop and guardiola employing conservative tactics
Also Liverpool were 3-0 up against Southampton at HT kloop aware of lack of quality in attack on the beanch introduce conservative tactics
I see nothing wrong with it bro

TheGoodJoe:


Both considered World Class coaches but who is more respected and who has built more formidable sides in the long run? There lies your answer.


Finito.

maidaboi:
yes Any problem?

TheGoodJoe:


Klopp is marching towards greatness . He might not have trophies but he has done an almost impossible job. Keep in mind he has used two different teams to play the Champions league finals. There is a bit of luck that go into this thing. However, the teams play on ground is the evidence of how good a coach is.

Apart from Mourinho, how many conservative coaches are celebrated over the likes of Pep Guardiola, Ancelotti, Capello, Cruyff, Sacchi etc.
