But truly, this Super Eagles team looks very solid for this competition and no team would stop them if we have a good management team and a well talented coach that will manage the Super Eagle team as supposed, I'm talking about a coach with a good tactical system of play. The Super Eagles team is supperb but we've always got it wrong when it comes to our past head coaches who has managed the team, on before Stephene Keshi and since after his sudden departure.
Well, scrutinizing the 23 man players list and with the quality of players the Nigerian team has we shouldn't have been in this situation between I don't see anything different from this team that played the previous games under Finidi George who had to for some reasons performed poorly. But with how the new Coach in Chille is going about and with his disciplinary tactics and decisions since he arrived as head coach I think he can make some difference with this same squad, hopefully. We have what it takes in every department as a team but I still don't get why we don't deliver in a way that marshal such quality out.
We are surely going to win! Iwobi has been in fine form for his club helping them as they aspire for an European competition next season and it will be fantastic to see him replicate such for the Nigerian national team.
Iwobi that plays for Fulham is not always the same Iwobi that plays for the Super Eagles. I will be hoping that we get the same Iwobi this time because there is a lot of lack of creativity in our midfield, and it has affected our game many times. Iwobi from Fulham can be a fix to this.
What really makes Iwobi to underperform whenever he gets to play for the Super Eagles compared to his performance at his club Fulham is worth paying attention to and i think coach Chille should look into that and probably talk with the player to know what's up. He might be having some psychological issues with the national team.
I think creativity requires a level of understanding between players to be complete—the creator and then the person who finishes. A creator will get frustrated trying to create chances if after trying a couple of times there is no one to finish off properly for him.
Alex Iwobi currently lacks that in the Super Eagles team, and I think that because the Super Eagles' players do not always play together, there is no particular player in attack that he shares a certain connection with and can make those creative passes for.
And this is where I think the job of the coach comes into play assessing the condition, reminding the players how they should work as a team rather than as individuals in trying to achieve their aimed goal, and reminding the players how good communication while on the field is important for them to have if they are to get ahead of their opponents. This is a skill any veteran coach should know how to instil in his squad without having to beat himself up.
