Improve Your Game Or Go Home, Siasia Tells Home-Based Eagles

Published on: 11 March 2016

                      Super Eagles Interim Coach Samson Siasia has told the home-based players preparing for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Egypt to improve on their game or leave the camp.

Siasia said gave the instruction following his team's 0-0 draw with Katsina United FC, a Nigeria National League (NNL) side, in a friendly match played at the Main bowl of the National Stadium, Abuja.

He said the home-based players currently in camp lacked the necessary qualities needed to win the crucial game against Egypt in Kaduna on March 25 and the return-leg on March 29 in Egypt.

"We are not playing well for now; we can't make four accurate passes among ourselves, it's embarrassing.

"We didn't create one clear-cut chance at goal against Katsina United; we will see if there is room for improvement but what I saw on Thursday wasn't what I was expecting.

"The players are nonchalant, no good dribbling or good crosses; whether they play well or not, we need to play and win that game against Egypt
