Where would the Blame Go: Keshi or the Glass House?


Boss Keshi
Against the Congolese and the South Africans, The Super Eagles of Nigeria were, as usual, predictable, useless at set pieces, opted for kick-and-follow football, and could barely string meaningful passes together. Is it safe to say that Stephen Keshi has reached his peak with the national team and that it’s time for fresh ideas in the dressing room?. The Super Eagles managed a well-deserved 3-2 loss in Calabar and an undeserved point gained against Bafana Bafana of South Africa, who can only blame their poor finishing and inexperience for failing to take all three. While the South Africans lacked composure and clinical finishing, Claude Le Roy's Congo had Thievy Bifouma to rely on, although Ogenyi Onazi, Kenneth Omeruo and Godfrey Oboabona were all complicit in making the former West Bromwich Albion loanee look like Thierry Henry. It look like "We had a good team on paper; unfortunately, the game was played on grass."
Or is it the administrative disaster at the Glass house that is impacting performances on the pitch?
There's no perfect answer to either question, but two things are clear.
1. Keshi’s team has not improved since their Afcon triumph.
2. You cannot expert cohesion in a football house that is in disarry
3. Aminu Maigari and Chris Giwa are not in charge of the Super Eagles’ dressing room.
