From iwobi to aina now aribo and okoye all just because Dey re keeping our Favourite carpenters out of the team

Later we go Dey shout racism

But honestly do you rate Okoye above Uzoho?

Not at this time IMO. He needs to finish what he has started. Next thing is who we meet in the play offs. Meanwhile when do we get to know the fixtures for the play offs?

I don't comment in the politics section....

Nigeria is a multi ethnic country and anyone who considers my comments as "tribal talks" is a disaster waiting to happen especially if that person gets to a position where they have to manage people from different ethnicities...

I think that we can all come to the conclusion that Igahlo’s services are no longer needed. Let him enjoy his retirement money in Saudi Arabia. He has served us well, but we must move on

Lies!... He was even more dangerous Dan osimhen with his positional play...though wasted his chances...na person wey go dey run upandan una believe say better pass,not taking anything away from osimhen though(he really tried too) what I av noticed is with osimhen and ighalo pairing upfront with good service from d midfield, a lot of chances will b created,it now depends on d two to utilize it

Both strikers movement unsettled deir defence a bit in d first half

Meanwhile he b like say shehu wab get sense pass simon o..baba dey compose pass simon grin

With all this ratings you dash, I guess SE must have had a good game.
I will have to watch the replay.

Melvinity:
Looking at the positives
Okoye: not too convincing, but wasn't troubled all dat much.. 6/10

Collins: Had a wonderful game today. Pulled some lovely crosses that could have lead to goal! 7.5/10

Balogun: strong defensive display, i would rate him 7/10.

Ekong: After his blunder, and some shaky start, he made some nice through long balls from d defense line and some few defensive duties.. I wil rate him 6/10

Chidozie Awe: Ever Rugged, very reliable in his defensive duties. Bullied some of the opposition attackers. 7/10

Ndidi: A little bit quiet during the first half, made some back passes. Then sprung into life the second half, and drove the balls forward, and made lovely passes to his wing players. 7.5/10

Aribo: Aside his shot on target and some fine interplay between him and Iwobi, he was mainly quiet. Ran out of steam at 65mins mark, but had a decent game. 7.5/10

Iwobi: Today was his best since a long time. He was everywhere. Made some crazy passes. Remains the most creative outlet in the team. Made few interceptions, and was solid all round. 8/10

Igalo: Aside his obvious chances missed! He did created a goal scoring opportunity for Aribo, then he had decent game. Just that he is very slow and didn't pose much threat! 6/10

Osimhen: Deservingly man of the match! 5 star performance from the young man. He won almost all his aerial balls, was a thorn in d flesh in the opposition half! Made few big chances. He had 2 great chances that was saved by the goal keeper and one clear chance been intercepted by the opposition defender that could have lead to goal! 10/10

Moses Simeon: Made some fine movement, and one beautiful turn before making a pass. But his down side remains his crosses that will never get to there destination. But he was solid defensively! I will give him 7/10

Nacho: Could have done better after taking down his man, but he wanted to do too much, and lost the ball in the process. I will give him 5/10 in his camo appearance!

Onuchu!
Onyeka!
Shehu: After replacing Simeon, he made some really good runs, and he wasn't afraid to attack, then went into silence afterwards! Could be d instructions from the coach or Shehu being SHEHU! LOLZZZZ

This guy will go far.... it's obvious...

Believe it or not, he would do much better with a supporting cast of Chukwueze and Ejuke beside him...rather than him drifting to the flank all the time to hustle for the ball ...

I take time to watch other African teams as well. I left the Nigerian game to watch Algeria for 10 mins. The attack was worse than Nigeria during that duration. Burkina Faso's attack was even better honestly. I've watched African teams to a good extent. The first five teams are largely equal in terms of playing quality. No difference. I watch the qualifiers and wonder what makes you people fear them so much. In fact we create more opportunities than some of them

As for Okereke. I'll just say that the univited is always better than the invited grin

I haven't seen any super eagles team so insipid as this rohr's team.
Well we got the job done, we have fumbled and wobbled into the play offs. I think our performance was even better in the 1st half, in the 2nd half I don't recall any chances we created or shot on goal as compared to the first half.
That is a serious indictment on Rohrs technical capacity. That said, I think it's too late to fire him now. My own is I have set my expectations low, so if we qualify for the WC i would get over the moon and if we don't, we live to fight another day.

Congrats to Osimhen for reaching double digits in International goals. Good news is we are through to the next round of qualifying. Bad news is our coach is Gernot Rohr. Anyway one is certain If He's still our coach come March it would mean we won the AFCON so cheer up guys we would have a new manager by spring tongue
would even be worse, you mean the new coach first 2 games will be the playoffs? Recipe for disaster. Should have fired him after the CAR game and since we didn’t it’s better to leave him till after the playoff/ World Cup

Amuneke cannot do worse than Rohr, even if they give him 11 Ahmed Musa's, so, allow me to assume that

Plus oil minus oil, NFF has a history of not paying coaches, so, oil boom has little to nothing to do with our unfortunate position now, there are better coaches out there than Rohr that will not charge more than NFF can afford, the problem is not the funds, the problem is whether NFF will pay it or just steal it.

You cannot convince me that the price of oil is the reason we are stuck with a Rohr.



u're right.. because employing Rohr was and is expensive and sacking him will also be expensive unlike if the coach was Nigerian....

and 11 prime Ahmed Musa is a very good team.

Victor osimhen is like rashidi yekini and amokachi put together in one person. He has the work rate of amokachi and the agrresivenes and goal sense of Yekini. Watching this match makes me know why European s are crazy over him. The guy is simply good

Good point on the Naija factor sha.

As regards to Sunday Oliseh, he’s a good coach but a very poor man manager. I don’t wanna see him anywhere near Super Eagles team again, as a coach.

codemaniacs:


Amuneke will also have to play according to the instructions of the NFF and what part of Nigeria the president is from matters a lot in Nigeria.... Oliseh is also a good coach but he also had to play according to the NFF and that disrupted and disorganized the team coupled with Oliseh's behavior towards the players..

A tired Osimhen is better than Onauchu, Osimhen ran himself to the ground due to Ighalos laziness, that guy is not needed anymore, he is too heavy, can barely move...if coach wan say experience, let him be playing in a top league where he would be sharp.

Onauchu is one hell of a slow motion player...he can't really fit the patterns we are playing...you need to hussle has a forward based on the way Rohr plays..

Onuachu should never have come in for Osimhen... He shoul have started with Osimhen instead of Ighalo.

Stop playing the devils advocate,
It's visible even to d blind that rohr can't fly d eagles any higher.

From now on is downward spiral,
so stop defending the indefensible.

Leave those Egyptians and co to tell of their coaches are clueless or not and stop comparing the situation ,and have you watch their games to tell how their teams use to play ?

So rhor should remain as the super eagles coach for how long since he is not clueless and doing a good job ?

I like being realistic and have nothing for or against Rohr. I just want to correct the high level of cluelessness here.

The level of result we're demanding from Rohr, can our team's quality match it?

Using other top African teams as a yardstick are we really underperforming?

You can't expect to Nigeria to have a smooth and clinical gameplay like Man City when we don't have the quality to match.

Don't be surprised if Rohr gets a bigger African team if sacked. Algeria were ready to employ him after world cup if he had been sacked.

Rohr has been given realistic objectives by the NFF. Win AFCON and qualify for World cup. So far he hasn't fumbled. So what's the fuss about sacking him because we drew Cape Verde.

If we used chukwueze and ejike on the pitch I bet you the team will hit the opponents on counter and a goal or two will be scored but bring the above duo in the weaken the midfield since rohr already is using two strikers

The best option would have to sub ighalo for chukwueze in other to peg the capo verdians back a bit or hurt them on a counter since they were all out to get the decisive goal they needed
