IF FINIDI GEORGE BASED GIS INVITATION OF PLAYERS ON POTENTIAL, QUALITY & MERIT (without sentiment), THEN HE WILL DEFINITELY SUCCEED WITH SUPER EAGLE. BUT IF HE BASED HIS INVITATION OF PLAYERS ON EGO, SENIORITY, UNFIT EXPERIENCE PLAYER/LEADERSHIP/CAPTAINSHIP OR INVITE PLAYERS TO PLEASED/PACIFY SOMEBODY, THEN HE WILL FAIL WOEFULLY MORE THAN PAST LOCAL COACHES.
*** FINIDI SHOULD LEAVE OUT ANY UNFIT, INCONSISTENT, BENCHWARMER, IRRELEVANT, IRREGULAR PLAYERS IN SUPER EAGLE TEAM. HE SHOULD LEAVE OUT UNFIT EXPERIENCE PLAYERS/CAPTAIN/LEADER OUT OF SUPER EAGLE.
**** FINIDI SHOULD SELECT A NEW FITTED LEADER/CAPTAIN (i.e. a captain that will be relevant on the field not on the bench).
Let us see the list first then I will know if Finidi is in charge of the Super Eagles or Amaju pinnick and NFF just putting the new gaffer there to deceive us.
Although, I won’t be deceived no more because I have learned my lesson from NFF ajewomasan the debtors. Good luck to Finidi. Ire o. God bless Nigeria!!!
@Omonija,
You don’t need to wait for the list before you know what is going on.
The list is just going to be one of the confirmation.
It’s not only the list where the problem is because the list for the 2 last friendly was not much bad except some regulars with injury but the starting 11 is where we have problem because if finidi can bench our best performer during the last AFCON which is lookman for a bench warmer like iheanacho for the 2 friendly to me wahala dey o
