your are sometime sensible but has the tendency of running more than your shadow.

when some says some people here is better than Rohr it sounds really childish and what response do you expect, we are here to give what we feel and think could improve the team and not some one believing his better than our national team coach.

Use your head more Bro

what's the big deal....should someone say a fellow mate is better than rohr..
the comparism he drew up here is not in person but in tactics and team formation....
moreover it is just an opinion...I still don't understand why he should be called out for his opinion.....

mind you not everyone you see in too positions have the knowledge to cope in such role...reason why many do have special advisers etc... no man has the monopoly of wisdom....

some of US here know somethings that many top heads don't even know....
so that keyboard coach of yours wasn't necessary....

Humility017:

abeg go sleep....then why are you here..if you're not one of them.

you think everyone here...fits into the benchmark you size yourself...many are more knowledgeable

even in football circle, anybody can be a analyst with knowledge of football but to think you are better than our coach because of your football knowledge, please think again.

I see nothing wrong in what i said and my example of Neville was because him and his brother are one of the best football analyst but failed to perform when giving a chance.

Peep here forget this a public forum and should be careful with some things dey say, football analyse is different from a football coach.

how can someone say they are better than Rohr who have a coach different team in the french ligue and Africa, A coach that took a team to Europa league final.

Bro think well

Bros that keshi team no b small bias oo

Uche nwafor has returned to naija league,odunlami in morocco club.egwuekwe could only get a move to finland and has ended up in south africa league,to be sincere keshi didnt take our best players to the world cup,i still wonder how brown ideye didnt make that team

oboabona don't even have a club, Uzoenyi don loss,Reuben is in Finland

Kog45:
Yes I love Keshi cos i know his contribution to Nigeria football as a player and coach.He deserves little respect even in death.

yes he deserve some respect, he did a lot for the country but the truth remaim the truth

That was the Guy's opinion... His expression... Did you see me reply such comment? I ignored it... And he even quoted me.

But you had to insensibly quote the guy and drop a comment down playing what we all do here... Why didn't you just address what he said instead of throwing silly jabs at the house.

Honestly Martz... You are the one who seriously needs to use more of his cerebral cortex to first understand before typing some stuffs. Weigh your comments before unleashing them. That is how to use your head more and by extension your fingers.

ChrisKels:
I have this feeling that Moses would serve us better playing as a left wing back if we deployed the 3-5-2 formation because to me, idowu isn't up to the job and Moses is less useful playing as a winger in a 4-3-3 formation where he partners a not so prolific Ighalo.

A vicmo as a LWB for Nigeria will be allowed to overlap even more than he does for chelsea-fc and he should also be tasked with playing his primary role as a full back.

This is what is called maximization of potentials. Now see what I mean ;

Vicmo as normal left winger loves to attack, track back, dribble and also cut into his preferred feet to unlish a shot. in the same vain, If he is played as a LWB, he would be given the special permission to join the attack at will and also join the defense when we are under siege. Knowing Moses for who he is and as a professional, I believe he would do this job perfectly by not leaving too much gap behind, as such, he would be important to us both in the defense and attack even in the midfield.

If we file out this way, then Rohr will now have the opportunity to field his best attackers in Iwobi and Acho. By so doing, we would be able to have an attacking line that comprises an overlaping Moses, Iwobi, Acho and another overlapping (though to a lesser extent) ebuehi. And when we are under attack we would also have a defensive line that looks this way ; Moses, balogun, Ekong, Omeruo and ebuehi.

This will be very effective because Moses has that energy, dribbling ability and pace to be useful to us both in the defense and attack.


I dont know why our coach isn't thinking through such line

Basically, what you have there is Balogun as LWB.

5 days 20 hours 17 mins my good man...

1-1 Senegalese missing a lot here

There are always tthree lapses which African teams always show every time.
1)Ball watching. They are always fixated at the ball without looking out for runners.
2) Impatient. Most times the attackers don't cool down once close to the post. They go with power when brain would have done the job. Thereby wasting a lot of chances.
3) They don't play for each other. This ranks the no 1. When a simple pass will open d opposition, they will want to dribble their way through sea of bodies. Once African teams grow beyond these, they will overcome many oppositions @ the mundial.
My observations tho.

No if you don't correct such people they will think they are actually right, do you know Nairaland materials can be seen just through google and when one see such thing they will think we are actually a joke here

and be better than Rohr was necessary??

let's talk football and forget who is better than our coach.

intelligence is not about what you know but the ability to apply the knowledge you have. if we have not been given opportunity to apply what we know about football then we remain an analyst and not a coach and can't know more than our coach.

is very easy to understand

Wow.... Lol.... You actually took MetalJigsaw's comment that seriously? Woah... Na wa oooo... Come on, you really give too much importance to that simple expression of his. And so the comment of just one moniker will make this thread a joke right? So in a sea of top comments, it is just one from one moniker that will make people call this place a joke? Lol...

Loosen up a bit man... We have heard far worse hyberbole... Trust me.

Martz101:


i may understand the fact thay you love keshi but truth be told, our squad in 2014 was not by merit.we won the afcon in 2013 and he executed most friendly before the worldcup with different players, players like uchebo, uche nwafor,Reuben,odulami, Ramon and babatunde displacing talented players like Uche brothers, Martins, Joel obi, Ogu and even key players that qualified him for the worldcup and won the afcon like ideye, Mba(for obvious reasons) and igiebor.

you can't compare this with 1998 team, we didnt go for the afcon 1996 and 1998 and were having less chance to test other new players, the players were basically the 1994 team + the Olympic team. Amokachi was not injured before the worldcup, he got injured before the Spain match, he came back against bulgaria and started, he got injured again before the Paraguay match.

our 2010 worldcup team was very very fair, it was the best we had, the like of ogbuke, yakubu, Martins,osaze and even an inform rabiu afolabi, who were you expecting in that team that you didn't see??

And on your odunlami, that guy had no business in that Keshi team, we already had enough with egweke and obuabona, even if keshi wanted a home base player, why cant he get a right back or left back to back Efe or oshaniwa, or even bring in an ogu or martins with that slot.that team was bias base,

they how many of them is still playing active football till now??after just 4years

Ramon Azeez had a good season in la Liga. He should have been in the team even before the world cup because he did well then in the La Liga but he was ignored. When it was to obvious that he was ignored Keshi decided to call him.

Besides him the rest na po-oh.

The way body is peppering me for this world cup to start. I just want to get Buhari out of my mind for atleast one month.

My observations tho.

I think the last point is where most of our problem lie. Africans take their greedy and selfish nature onto the field of play. Everyone wants the glory without realizing that only complete team effort wins you the world cup. The only reason why Germany is dominating is because of the collective effort of the players. That's why there's hardly any player who stands out in the German team. A dumb African player, will want to bulldoze his way through a sea of opponents just because he wants that glory when he could have easily passed the ball to another player. The chances of African team winning the world cup is as a direct result of the growth of our countries. Until we leave greed, selfishness and clannishness, we will keep lagging behind in almost every facet of human endeavor and that includes football. If not, tell me why Cote divoire despite their avalanche of world class players could not do well at the world cup.

After seeing this friendly match between Saudi Arabia and Germany, with how this Arabian players confidently string sweet passes plus their tactical nous, I am sorry to say we are far behind most of the teams going to Russia.

Thats if friendly is anything to go by.

Hahahahahahahahaha.... Abeg make una rush go check out that latest Clip for @NGSuperEagles and @TheNFF twitter handles...

It is a clip on Mikel and Onazi talking about the rubbish reports of camp rifts and divisions in the Nigerian media which was also carried by Linda Ikeji blog...


UNA GO LAUGH TIRE!!!!

Mikel was like... Lol...

Onazi even said: Chaaiii... They just wan distract us! In fact you see this cup ehn... Wey dem say we no go carry... Infact we must to Carry am.... Hahahahahahaha... Enjoy oooo


#SoarSuperEagles...

. They will be back soon after their third match. The current super eagles have nothing special to offer. If you are a fan, lower your expectation. If you like to brag about the team, they will disappoint you. Watch their matches, laugh at their flaws & if they ever score a goal, rejoice with them.

yea Ramon try

Yes that's what I saw over three games I've watched them play. The Peru game was telling. They do not like teams that can hold the ball and play aggressive offensive play

bengine:
have been
watching this senegal vs Croatia game..they are not superb as some would make us believe here..

They terribly lack pace..senegal should have been 4 goals up now if they weren't wasting their chances..

Senegal Gk just conceded Akpeyi kind of goal..

just in the space of 4 years? these are junks keshi forced down our throats

Martz101:


oboabona don't even have a club, Uzoenyi don loss,Reuben is in Finland

Is there award for the youngest team in the world cup?

Besides, if Rohr said he is building for the future, why was he chasing Enyeama?

What are Echiejile (30), Ogu (30), Ezenwa (29), Akpeyi (31) and Mikel Obi (31) doing in his team?

How many old players even still dey self apart from Martins who is far better than most of the players aforementioned and Dele Aiyenugba who is the only active Nigerian goalkeeper in a decent league in Europe?

Abi na Sone Aluko wey bi original 29 years old, na em old?

Abi na Raheem Lawal wey bi passport 28 years old na em old?

Oh! I see! Rohr said he wanted a good atmosphere devoid of disputes or egos and problem hence these set of players are not needed because they will pollute the atmosphere with there body odours.

How Rohr take know these players get bad character if somebody among the Nigerians with him no tell am, so tey those earlier aforementioned old players dey make him team but these ones never smell camp despite their splendid performance since Rohr was employed?

Ok na!



2018 World Cup: Rohr speaks on Super Eagles first choice goalkeeper, older players


Published on June 8, 2018

By John Owen Nwachukwu

Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr has revealed that he will announce his first-choice goalkeeper for the 2018 World Cup next week.

The Franco-German gaffer also explained why he resisted the temptation to invite experienced players to the team ahead of the tournament.

The youngest player named to the World Cup roster, Francis Uzoho, has been used by Rohr in all the warm up matches played ahead of the tournament and is expected to be in goal against Croatia on June 16, barring a last-minute injury.

Rohr told Spanish news outlet, the Marca, ”We have been working hard in that position for a year. We had bad luck with the illness of Carl Ikeme [suffers from leukemia], but we have three good goalkeepers. The decision of who will be first choice will be taken the last week.

”We must respect what those (older) players have done for the country and let them enjoy it. The plan is to prepare the team for the future.

”Nigeria has not played two African Nations Cups. It is important that the atmosphere of the team is calm, without problems, disputes or egos. Once a good environment has been created we need to continue along that same line. ”

With an average age of 25.9 years, the Super Eagles have the youngest team at the 2018 World Cup
