🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Some are trying to sabotage his name while some are trying to make him coach by fire by force


Nawa for this country

Yes Nsofor was crucial during that period. My distinct memory of that era was of a very flat midfield (that was the time when Mourinho almost completely suppressed Mikel's flair) and an above average defense constantly getting bailed out of jail by Enyeama.

charlesemeka85:
also Nsofor who bailed the team out in few occasions with his match winning late strikes

Respect to amodu but his team playing pattern was boring,lethargic and non inspiring…we had our hearts in our mouth watching his team ,I would say Amodu is d opposite of siasia ….he has dt good luck riding for him at crucial moments (one can’t really pin point his playing pattern,always drab but will deliver at d end of d day),while siasia team will play d best of football,but when it mattered most(finals,semi final, a match to qualify us) ,na dt time siasia team go fumble .

This is April 7th post! Those are your coaches! BION

Marjoribanks:
Update!
The coaching job is between Amuneke and Finidi.
Finidi is ahead due to his clean record and character.
Amuneke is being considered for the technical Adviser position (Westerhoff-Bonfrere style leadership).
The problem is who would be the top guy in charge of the players list between the two.

I thought you based in UK and Mikel spent years in UK,so you should be in better position to know his real age by just walking to him and asked ‘Mikel how old are you?…. Mikel left top football at 30 and do little journey man in China,back to England with Middlesbrough and left Stoke city at 34 with 39 appearances in a season,moving to Kuwait and quit the game at 34 years old…..

Segun Odegbami quit the game at 32

Adokiye Aimesemeaka quit before 30,so some players feel fulfilled at certain age.

Felix Owolabi the Odegbami and Adokiye mate played the game till 40 years of age,in fact won CAF cup in 1992 with shooting stars.

I left very good Federal civil service job at 35 voluntarily after spent 12 years and I still have colleagues doing the same job till date.

We have different aspirations and visions about life,so better to respect individuals decisions than questioning or asking what is not necessarily

You have completely avoided the core discourse which is his departure from top flight football at 29.

I made a comparison of several players still over 30 and even 35 playing at top level. That's the question ⁉️

The bold is infantile, the issue is departute from top flight football ⚽ at 29. When we consider his position midfield, there is even greater longevity in midfield as players age.

Andrea Pirlo played for Juventus and the Italian national team when he was 36. He is not alone Milner is 38 left Liverpool last season and is now at Brighton.

Giving an example of an injury prone Hazard who retired at 32, is debasing the discussion. In addition the Odegbami era where players drank and smoke and led very unhealthy lifestyle is a poor comparison. In addition sports medicine has improved tremendously giving players far greater longevity in the game.

None of you guys have my support ooo. None!! 😆. I don't see us making it to 2026 World Cup with any of you guys!! Tbh!
Na Renard/Pitso I want!

You right we've had poor coaches whether Nigerian or foreign.

For me the first criteria whenever the discussion of choosing a coach comes up is competence followed by if he's Nigerian. I will never under any misguided patriotism advocate for an obviously unqualified local coach to handle the SE if the foreign one is a better option.

Agreed 👍🏿 without question ❓
Proven capacity and competence over nationality.

TheSuperNerd:


Meanwhile... we still have Rabiu Ali at 43 balling.

I guess Hazard too faked his age then.

Rabui is 33 and has been able to rise beyond youthful expectations and has really spent most of his time in the backwaters league of Europe in obscurity.

2 year contract means they don't trust the person they are giving the job and the person himself does not see a long term future in the job

Setup for failure

Amedino99:
this is a tweet from NFF themselves about the issue. And besides English clubs barely use 16 year olds enough for them to be considered first team players e.g nwaneri has barely played for arsenal ever since his debut. I'm not sure that there is any 16 year old in England that has made up to 3 appearances this season and I'm talking of the epl and championship. Based on your screenshot it's already evident that it's an international tournament for countries abi you see any club for fixtures ??

You did not address the issue but pursued your own agenda.

1. Gibraltar is essentially British territory,why do you need a Spanish visa to go there ❓
2. The term development is used in what context.
3. Look at the countries playing in the tournament Lithuania, Faroe Islands, Iceland, Gibraltar,
4. This is a not for professional youth players competition it seems.
5. What's Nigeria doing there playing against teams with very limited top level football in their home countries.

So examine and appraise and see there are several questions raised.

TheSuperNerd:
Samson Tijani having quite the game in midfield today for Wolfsberger AC.

I hope the boy is brought into the super eagles before other countries take am, like Saka, Alaba etc.

Nigeria team lacks a holding midfielder and the boy is rated as one of the top midfield youngsters with the top ball recoveries. He's also quite technical.

Joebie:
I hope Ejaria’s career is not over

I find quite a few of those young boys were in big money very early . And if coming from a good family background they will invest the money .

Fast forward 7/8 years they have additional income streams and are not desperate to play anywhere for peanut's.

Indeed the motivation to play may even be dwindling

DOptical:

He is 21 and playing in the Austrian Bundesliga and has been for 4 seasons.

If he is so well rated according to you what is he doing playing in the Australia league rated 13 in Europe.

Will my question ❓ be considered HATE.

Hanibal:

The Rabiu Ibrahim I referred to is 33 it seems we have two different Rabui one in Europe and one in Nigeria.

He just got there as a matter of fact. He got there 3 years ago at the age of 17/18. Was injured in the first season which disrupted his season. Point is he's a good technical defensive midfielder at a young age. He's rated as one of the top midfield youngsters with top ball recoveries in Europe.

andrewbaba44:


Arsenal no get striker

That’s the perfect place for victor .

Look at Arsenal goals are coming from all over the team. There is a intricate positional interchange in the Arsenal team requiring players to be technically astute.

VO Needs a pyramid structure with him the point man the quintessential number 9.

That's not how Arsenal play.

If a player is highly rated other teams go in for him and he doesn't remain in an obscure league.

I'm sorry 3 years is not, he just got here , it's long enough to claim high level position .

So the rating is academic if it doesn't translate to upward ⬆️ progression into better club and league

Austrian league isn't an obscure league. That was where David Alaba played in. Another fact is defensive astuteness & technicality is the same everywhere. Either you get it or you don't. Another fact is he's just got there and he's doing quite fine as a holding midfielder despite his young age.

he’s now a coach in Rwanda

You are joking Right

Let me add that the boy looked quite fine as a holding midfielder against inter Milan who just won serie a. Inter are a decent team at least.

Obviously you don't know about the player because if you did you would know Tijani had a terrible ACL injury and is just trying to get good form from a run of games.

Oh and he's on loan from RB Salzburg an Austrian team reputable for giving bright new talent like Mane, Haaland, and Minamino their big breakthroughs.

But you wouldn't know that since he wasn't born in the boroughs you say you frequently 'scout'

Felix Owolabi that belonged to the era of drunker and smokers played the game at 40…Roger Milla played the game at 40.

Wishing Mikel happy birthday is now an issue to you.

It is Rabiu Ali. Olodo. Not Rabiu Ibrahim.

I rate Tijani but please he is currently below lads like Raphael Onyedika and Alhassan Yusuf technically and otherwise in the holding midfield profile role.

We also have DLPs like Nwakali who has played as holding midfielders in their club side and excelled.

So you are dead wrong to say the Nigerian team doesn't have a holding midfielder.
