My neighbour said that he is a good coach and will surprise his critics. Nigerians are expecting to see the tactical acumen of Eric, and after these two games, we will evaluate the Super Eagles' performance to determine if he was indeed the right choice.
Have they started with the hype again? I would rather wait to see how this new coach performed first before I start hyping up his tactics or tactical sense before the game just to end up seeing nothing or to end up giving Nigeria a loss.
The two games we have should be easy games and if we lose this game considering the quality of players we have then it is still a matter of the coach.
Even winning the two games ahead of us is not really enough for us to conclude that he's the right person for the team. It depends on the teams we play and the formation he uses or how he react on the sideline with substitutions when necessary because that's how to figure out how tactical the coach is. As the case maybe, we can not crucify only the coach even if the game doesn't go as planned. We will also evaluate the players performance to either criticise or to applaud. At times, the problem is not from the coach but from the players themselves who aren't ready to give their best despite the coach already feature the necessary players. Some comments should be reserved until after our game with Rwanda tomorrow.
