Really?? Same Aribo who was hardly visible in the last game for Nigeria? For these guys to do so well for their clubs and so horrible for their country means something must be going miserably wrong somewhere hmmmmm
Mumu, when will you learn? Playing for club sides is not the same as the national team. That was the reason why Dennis the menace, Bassey and others were woeful in our last game. However, Aribo deserves to be congratulated.
You are a mumu man!
Paschal, you took the words right out of my mouth.
The lion roars once again at Rangers, after some very timid miaow-ing for Nigeria in recent internationals..
There must be something in our way of doing things that is affecting Aribo and our other SE lads negatively.
Is it the weather, poor pitches, lack of familiarity with SE team mates? There are many other possible factors. NFF incompetence is a big one. Benefits that these players normally enjoy at their clubs that the NFF is not providing perhaps dampens player morale, which results in poor performance on the pitch.
The new SE coach needs to create an environment that is similar to what these lads have in their clubs to get something close to the best out of them.
In Aribo’s case, the new SE coach should go to the Ibrox and observe Aribo there. Possibly have a chat with Van Bronckhorst and other Rangers staff.
If we can make adjustments in our processes to replicate the environment these players enjoy at their clubs, we will likely see an uptick in performance in international games.
I have told you people the players is not the problem is the coach and the tactics he used in the game
