Who should have been?

Tell me the big defensive midfielder we should have called instead of Ruben.
Ruben barely played that season. Keshi always looked at guy through tinted glasses.

winning the afcon hide so many deficiencies in his team. i give him credit for achieving the feat but commend the players more who fought and never gave up against CIV in the quarter finals. after defeating the Ivorians the players had this belief that the trophy is theirs to loss.

during the group stage matches keshi's tactical approach was very poor that it took moses's individual brilliance against Ethiopia to propel the team to the quarter finals.



tbaba1234:


Was Keshi corrupt? Yes, he was but some of his achievements overshadowed it. Poor team selection later caught up with him and culminated in our failure to make the 2015 AFCON.

As regards Osaze, poor man management. Same with Oliseh and Enyeama.

I saw the way and manner in which he took that goal. He caught the Ajax defender in possession, won the ball off him, sprinted a couple of meters into the 18 yard box and powered a fine strike past Onana. Well taken goal by Dessers. We should be looking at him and Sadiq soon enough if they keep this up going into the new year.

I understand Onuachu scored too. Infact, he would have had a brace but his second goal was chalked off. But lad is still not the genuine answer to the "Backup role" to Osimhen. Getting the best of Onuachu would mean an alteration in our playing style in the final third.

You people keep making this statement. Keshi wanted a big player who could play in the midfield, after going with another lightweight player in Ramon Azeez.

In the game against France, we were up against a highly physical French team. When it was time for a substitution to replace Onazi, Keshi called Ramon and I exclaimed, "No O! They will kill him on that pitch. Luckily, Mikel signalled to Keshi not to try it and then replaced Onazi with Gabriel.

So, Haruna and Ajagun would not have come in for the extra big man. It was due to strategy he brought in Ruben Gabriel to match the players at his disposal.

This man and always pulling conjectures out of thin air. Sure, his opinions are always coherent and seem to make sense on the surface, but they're still just opinions. e.g Brendan Rogers will play Kelechi because they are a match made in heaven.

I wonder where you got Brendan Rodgers will play Kelechi Iheanacho from. My point has always been Iheanacho at the moment should concentrate on developing his tactical acumen and not focus on playing time. After learning he can go out and look for playing time. But, see what you are typing.

TheGoodJoe:


The most important point is developing and not just playing time. If not championship players would be the highest quality players due to loads of playing time.

Iheanacho is blessed to work with Brendan Rodgers. He should shun that playing time thing and train his socks off. Brendan Rodgers is insane on the training pitch and Nacho will gain loads than playing regularly in a system that will not suit his development.

Rodgers plays and trains his players at a high intensity.



“I demand all players train like they play. I always say to the players here when they sign a contract, you’re signing a training contract. I’ll decide whether you play or not.

“The money is in your bank every month but you’re to work and get better.”... Brendan Rodgers.

Any suggestion for a big defensive midfielder Keshi should have called instead of Ruben?

I am pointing out that we did not have enough young players for Keshi to work with. He made up with tactics and scouting. That is why we had unknown players and players with few appearances popping up. Keshi deserved praises but got ridicule for doing a brilliant work.

So, Rohr is the first coach to introduce transparency to Super Eagles? Has the phantom transparency helped him to win any trophy ? The answer is no. Until you proved how this audio transparency has helped Nigeria to win trophies I suggest you save me the noise. If your reformation is not bringing any positive change what is the essence of it.

I am pretty much done with this topic because apparent you lot have no proof of your claims just typical Nigerian noisemakers! You cant defend your position , Nigga! So far , Rohr has failed with the best set of talent since '94 and '98 squad !

I want to believe that ROHR hasn't failed within the constitutional context and rule of His engagement though.

Because the truth is contracts are classified documents but part of the contractual agreement reads that ROHR should qualify NIGERIA for RUSSIA 2018 World Cup, EGYPT 2019 AFCON finals and at least it Semi final reach following our failure to qualify for the previous 2 AFCON finals



Besides, NFF has no issue with retaining him except for certain changes to be made like : According to the NFF boss and I quote

''The truth is contracts are classified documents but one thing I know that we are going to pass on to him is to strengthen the clauses that domesticate Gernot himself in Nigeria and domestic him to our leagues, that's just it.

''He needs to go round, watch some of the leagues, we are not saying take a player from here and bring him to the Super Eagles immediately''.

We did not have players. You have no concrete reason to call Keshi corrupt. Nothing caught up with Keshi. It was a lot of problems from his non payment, NFF repeated battle including sacking him while on the qualifiers, players owed bonuses and injury. We were totally hampered by the injury of Hope Akpan who had shore up the defence.

So what will you call Mikel leaving the team by Rohr? Fantastic man management? Sometimes senior players do not agree with the direction of managers. Leaving is the right thing to do for the health of the team.

Very few European clubs will give our coaches jobs despite how good they are.

By the way, I am glad they have pointed out that Rohr should watch the local league. He has been too poor in that respect and people keep quiet about it. Wish him the best but Rohr needs to show improvement with respect to harnessing talents from the local scene.

For me, they are both young and excellent strikers. That's all
just one match? Are you serious?

Someone that is top scorer for his club

Someone that has scored 4 goals in 5 games this year and had two assists.

So, all of that is one match in your books?

You people should allow people hold their beliefs in peace on this thread without being up in arms. This is a Super Eagles thread, I don't know what you expect people to say.

What point are you trying to make with Mikel?

So, we did not have players, that is why Keshi took a 37-year old Shola Ameobi to the World Cup, alongside a host of other certified carpenters?

Let the local league management do that, the ones Keshi brought none ended up in a good club, none is still playing top level football. The league and the players should do well for themselves first.
