So some local match observers here honestly think they would do a better job than rohr.

" some of us here even better pass rohr" looool ;Dintact this is unquantifiable stupidity

I may be wrong though afterall this is a faceless forum you may be guardiola or zidane. I apologize in that case.

On a second thought humans are free to think whatever you want. Freedom of thought is the only guaranteed human right wherever you find yourself. But when you begin to spread foolish thoughts in words or writings to others then you are an idiot.

Oasis007:
I guess Tbaba1234 is fine?! It's quite a while I read his Post(s) on this Thread.

it's the last ten days of ramadan, so i guess he's in "itikaf"

you can rant and castigate rohr as long as you want but it doesnt hinder the good work he has put in place since taking up the job.you just mentioned 5 players out of 23 that was selected for the world, well thats shows truly the team is a very young one. thank God pinnick and others at the helm of affairs in NFF are not shallow minded and myopic like you. yes he chased vincent which was understandable because of ikeme's ailment but when vincent turned down his advances he had to unearth a young inexperienced keeper,brushed him up and got him ready for a massive tournament as the fifa world cup. Uzoho is still a green horn learning the trade but in no distance time the whole nation will reap the dividends of rohr's biggest gamble and then you will talk with the other side of your mouth. your likes would have preferred begging vincent or recall dead woods like aiynugba and ejide that are washed off not putting the future of the team into consideration. football doesn't end after the world cup so with the foundation rohr has laid is a good proof that the future of the apex team of this nation is too bright

forgiveness:
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

the greatest mistake pinnick and co will make is replacing rohr with an indegenious coach. such act will take us 50 steps backward

KK555:




I repeat, many of you here know nothing about football. Go out there, get a team or form one, apply your tactics and formations, manage your team, get into and participate in competitions and prove people wrong. Dont be a nairaland football manager only. Go out there and prove yourself a Mourihno, Klopp or Ancellotti.

When you lot are not preoccupied with tactics employed by the manager, you,ll be worried about the players in camp. Go and get your team, apply your football knowledge and wisdom and be a hero, otherwise your knowledge starts and ends on nairaland.

Many of you can not even manage a 5 aside team.

Unknown to you there are several people here who have managed teams and or do analysis for professional trams.

So once again don't assume because you KNOW NO ANYTHING say everyone is like you.

So humbly joke simbe and Learn.

charlesemeka85:
the late keshi was the biggest scamin the history of football in nigeria lol

I say the biggest motivator. He could win matches with 11 keke drivers if he wanted. Keshii took a team of relatively nobodies and made it to the second round of the world cup. If he was a white man all the top clubs would have been rushing him.

Kog45:
Nigeria team without Iheanacho is a minus not cos of anything but goals,his goal ratio in eagles is phenomenal.

I admire Ighalo a lot but talking of delivery it's Iheanacho.On Simy,well from his stats so far he is not a prolific scorer so i don't see him as a guarantor unless he brings his late season goals scoring to eagles.

Disagree, without support KC can easily become anonymous.

He doesn't have the ability to go it alone like Ighalo and I hope Simi.

2018 World Cup: What I’ve failed to achieve – RohrPublished on June 8, 2018 By John Owen Nwachukwu

Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr has lamented his failure to convince some Nigerian players abroad to represent their fatherland.

Rohr said it was part of his job description to convince players with double nationality to pledge their international future to Nigeria.

However, the former Bayern Munich defender has admitted that he was unable to persuade German-born duo, Hoffenheim starlet Kevin Akpoguma and Hertha BSC’s Jordan Torunarigha, to play for the Super Eagles at the World Cup.

Rohr was able to lure Amkar Perm defender Brian Idowu, Chelsea fullback Ola Aina and Tyronne Ebuehi to play for the Super Eagles.

Asked by German newspaper Welt if it’s part of his job to win players for Nigeria, Rohr replied, ”Yes, that’s part of it. We’ve also convinced some, like Alex Iwobi from Arsenal , who grew up in England. Incidentally, he is the nephew of Jay-Jay Okocha.

”Others, who I’ve rung once, refused, for example Kevin Akpoguma from Hoffenheim or Jordan Torunarigha from Hertha BSC .”http://dailypost.ng/2018/06/08/2018-world-cup-ive-failed-achieve-rohr/

FIFA is allowing coaches to communicate with assistants who are up in the stands watching. I wonder if Nigeria plan's on taking advantage of this because you can really notice more be being up in the stands.

it was just faith and grace that took the team to the 2nd round. the decisive match against bosnia was won because the match officials goofed by disallowing dzeko's legitimate goal of which if it was counted the rest would have been history. coming to the issue of 23 dead woods ,who was the man that vetoed them good enough for the tournament? i can remember a player like imoh ezekiel was firing at all cylinders in the belgian league in the colors of standard liege but keshi deemed him not good enough, taiye taiwo was still very active then playing on loan at Ukrainian giants dynamo kiev but he was ignored instead oshaniwa made the team, a young kenny otigba was a revelation in the dutch league with heereveen but he wasnt given a chance, sone aluko was tormenting defenders and scoring with ease in the championship for hull city but he wasnt good enough by keshi's standard, haruna lukman was a regular figure in the midfield of dynamo kiev prior to the world cup and performed decently both in the domestic and the europa league but keshi never gave him a look in instead the likes of odunlami,oshaniwa,uzoenyi,gabriel reuben, egwuekwe,ameobi,nwofor,uchebo and babatunde made the team at the expense of more deserving players who performed better that season. after we crashed out of the world cup what next happened? we missed two back to back afcons, not only that suffered humiliating defeats at the hands of congo,sudan,namibia etc. abeg make una no dey allow sentiment cloud una sense of judgement

Unknown to you, there are people here who have not only played for big teams and at the highest level of football but also at the world cup.

Mister, save and channel your brags to people who havent played football. I replied and quoted someone else and of course i made a comment about keyboard managers and of all the hundreds of monikers here who comment, you were the first to get sensitive about that.

I dont give a shiot if youve managed Real Madrid, Man U or Barcelona. I will say it again, lots of folks here know nothing about football. They can not manage sunday league teams. Their managerial credentials start and end on nairaland.

Folks here will tell you Chelsea formation and tactics, they will give you all the locker room gists and pep talks but they do not know the players of Ashanti kotoko, Enugu rangers, TP Mazembe and Orlando Cosmos but when its is world cup time, they,ll give you hundreds of names they have only seen online or youtube and start acting like they know better than the technical crew who work with the players in the camp.

Go manage your teams sir and i hope sky sports, DSTV or ikorodu international sports network pay you millions in contract for your brilliant analysis.

Ike Uche with 14 goals in the La Liga was unbelievably dropped with Martins.

Ezenwa is our first choice keeper at the world cup, followed by Uzoho. The friendly was just to build Uzoho's confidence in case Ezenwa is out.

U are the one being sentimental. Keshi might not have done things the way we all wanted but you can't hide from the fact that this man won an AFCON and made it to the second round of the world cup. As a coach he has a right to select players that will do the job for him. Keshi was tapping into the hunger these young men had for serving the nation. Name a player that even looked out of place? Efe Ambrose, Juwon Oshiniwa and Michael Babatunde all had good world cup's. For me Keshi was a great coach, he could find a farmer in the village and get him to play good football for the Super Eagles I remember complaining about Aaron Samuel before his debut and the young man scored a spectacular goal. Keshi probably called up every member of our current starting xi except Uzoho and Iwobi. He even wanted to take Iheanacho to CHAN and then the World Cup. I respect the big boss because he did things his way. He just believed that the national team was for everybody and not just people at big clubs. He expected more from players in big clubs, Mikel was always called up because he is humble and hard working. I just think Keshi didn't want no high maintenance player. I remember reading about issues btw him and Uche at AFCON.


BTW we never lost to Namibia abeg.

Lol.. I have a door knocker to save your knuckle

Lolz sister.
I'm not that impressed by Uzoho. While some say his reflex is too notch, I'm yet to see that. When Enyeama started to keep I noticed reflex. Ezenwa has better reflex; Uzoho has height.

Anyway, next week Saturday, we'll know who it will be.

mank1234:

I doubt it...Ezenwa has barely played games this year...is it at the world cup he would now get his sharpness..Uzoho is undoubtedly the number 1..

it cannot be the rusty Ezenwa. That one is sure

andrew444:
Olanrewaju kayode has been signed permanent by shaktar Donetsk

This guy should've just signed for Newcastle.

Oh well...at least he gets to play in the ucl.

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

Another top notch analysis from you man.

Ighalo in a Nigeria outfit. Could this be Nigeria's World cup outfit?

Looking at our FIFA ranking, our absence from the last two AFCONs did alot of damage.

What a disgrace to the super eagles,you guys should learn from team like brazil and others.
