You guys no longer deserve the SuperEagles tittle...pathetic
by now i am expecting keshi to have 7 to 6 home eagles then mix them up with 8 or 7 pro but when will all this experiment stop
we wil keep losing matches and this mr coach will keep telling us he still building and looking for future eagles lol
my GOD,, keshi common stop going for weak excuses man i need result ok ,,
victor Moses osaze, amunike ,ahmned musa ,yobo ,taiwo,
apam, anichebe,joel obi, mikel obi,oguke , echejile , usofor and yakubu ,,
probably you can check-out all this name and pick ur 7 pro player since no one is updating you about our foreign base eagles my can be of a help mr coach oga talent hurt
Clearly Keshi doesn't watch the EPL...do me a favour..pick YAKUBU just tick off all these Naijas again.
In their last match against Egypt the Eagles got tired and succumbed to pressure because the Pharoes 3-5-2 had a man advantage in central midfield. The Egyptians scored us by coming through the middle after several uninterrupted passes. Nigeria played 4-4-2, and also did that against Rwanda. Using 4-3-3 in our away matches makes it easier to clog the midfield and cut off passes and our counter attacks are more effective. Playing 4-3-3 when going forward like Barcelona can easily be converted to 4-5-1 when under pressure like Chelsea did. We can play the usual 4-4-2 at home against Namibia and Rwanda and only change if the situation on ground changes
NFF please reschedule this game and ask tecnical team to use this friendly wisely. This is my 2 cents thrown in.
But coach, where is one of the leading goal scorers in the NPL, Chikeluba Ofeodu of Rangers, 9 goals. Also Bart Ibenegbu played well against Egypt, is he injured?
Thank you for inviting one of the best players from our last Olympic Eagles, Nnamdi "the Brazilian" ODUAMADI
Truth remains, and very obvious to discerning minds, that the dream of the home boys to jump on the euro train using the SE as platform. Over depending on them in the name of building a new team is akin to building castles in the air.
Keshi should focus more on established players doing well in Europe while giving room to integrate a few home based players into the team. He should remember that 2013 AFCON is at the corner. No Nigerian will tolerate excuses in the name of we are rebuilding!

I must add that Keshi has done a good job so far. This list is the team for Peru friendly. He will add more European based players for the June games. Greetings to you @Amata plus. I understand your castles in the air comment but lets wait and see. Give Keshi the chance.
(@)Slyman, Kola(U.S), Amata Plus, Nigeria&Ghana match do or die( I tend to support your points)
In football everything is possible with a good game plan. (Zambia winning the Nations cup, Chelsea beating Barcelona, Atletico Bilbao defeating Manchester United, and Spain topping Brazil to be best team in world). Nothing is impossible in football with good planning.
Coach Keshi was given a clear mandate. (1)Qualify Nigeria for South Africa. (2)Qualify Nigeria for Brazil. (3)Develop and improve the style of play to a higher standard. If he fails he will be sacked.
In our last friendly match against Egypt SE played well- we all agreed that the standard of play in that match was acceptable but there is still a far way to go. We lost the match to lack of Experience, Concentration and Physical fitness.
Now that we are playing Peru (ranked 34 in the world)in a friendly match Coach Keshi has invited 5 foreign based players to join the local lads. We need to be patient and not prejudge. (The city of Rome was not built in a day). All we want to see is a tremendous improvement from the last match against Egypt in our style of play, good physical fitness, focus , concentration and technical ability. Even though the match against Peru will define alot of things regarding most of this local players. It will also be a very good test.
We football fans know most of our players abroad playing very well and that are in great form, and I believe the coach, and his technical crew does too. But our best players abroad are in the crucial time of the season now. But I am happy that Coach Keshi is giving local players all the opportunity available and encouraging them to step up their game. And in conclusion that SE are actively busy and engaging in friendly matches.
Greetings to (Luise-Hero and Game147).
