I have read newspapers, listened to television stations and followed comments on social media on issues relating to our national team coach Sunday Oliseh as it relates to the Super Eagles. One thing is certain there is a problem with our national team and these problem started after the departure of Clemens Westerhof and Bonfrere Johannes Franciscus "Jo". The philosophy introduced by both men who happened to be Dutch guided our football and made us to be 5th in the world as at 1994. Today Nigeria is 66 in the world and 14 in Africa and the so called small countries have overtaken us. Sunday Oliseh happened to be a student of both coaches and with what he plans to do, we the fans have to be patient. For us to get to the top we need a lot of seriousness and sacrifices and we need objectivity in our criticism. This is not the time to point accusing fingers or that the coach is not experienced enough because our position today is very embarrassing. Truth must be told the coach has a lot of work to do and the NFF must give him the necessary support. I personally feel that a lot of work needs to be done to get the best legs for all positions in the team both through our local or foreign leagues. Quality friendly matches must be organized and all players given the opportunity to showcase their skills. I know the time might be short for the coach to make drastic changes but he could utilize every FIFA fee window to put his strategies and plans to test and perfection. Sentiments should be kept aside and players current form and performance employed. The downward trend of our football need to stop and I hope enough time is given for the coach to make changes after all he has played in some of the best leagues in the world in which he worked with great coaches. This is the time to put all the experience gathered into use so Sunday Oliseh my coach its time to work the ball is in your court.
