Joebie:
And what will the new players be doing? Sitting on the bench? Coming in late? Failing to hold possession with neat interchange of passes? What will Rohr do differently with new players?

Liamm:
Rohr is one hell of a bloody tactically inept opportunist. Those saying he qualified us for world cup and now afcon, pray tell. If a tactically sound manager was to inherit the crop of talents at Rohr's disposal, we would never have had a shambolic world cup outing coupled with the performances. The wins we've managed to grind out under Rohr mostly came out of individual brilliance and not his techniques nor tactics. That old man needs to leave. Baxter would do a better job

jihday:
This is what people have failed to realize

I have read a lot of comments on the game, these are my thoughts on some of them

1. Iheanacho had a very decent game. I was quite impressed with his application in the first 30 minutes in particular. He was not as bad as suggested by some posters

2. Rohr is actually good tactically. His weakness is the reading of the game and his conservative nature. He does not make required changes on time and tries to play it safe. A technical assistant who reads the game better could be drafted to assist.

This current Nigerian team has the potential to play breathtaking football with a more adventurous coach but Rohr has produced results.

3. We were average but should have won easily if not for some atrocious officiating.

ChrisKels:


Their best player can only make our bench yet u defending Rohr for getting only a point from a possible 6 against them while they got 4? Not just that he got a point, he also played poorly

Taliban:

Agbim too wasn't starting for his club

You don't mean it tell me something I don't know

BascoVanVeli:
Who else saw Leon Balogun chancing Baxter and the best part was that he played very well after that.

MetalJigsaw:
I need ur bank details

jihday:
OK, so y'all clamoring for #Rohrout# who do you have in mind as replacement? a coach you know the NFF can afford o, abi you want a local coach to takeover?

TheGoodJoe:


You still do not get it. South Africa were miles ahead of us in creative and tactical play. How that equates to Rohr being a better coach beats my imagination. With more quality players, we would have had a big problem on our hands. Worst of all is that we had the better quality players.

tbaba1234:


Exactly, the man has produced results which is all we can ask. If he goes ahead and wins AFCON, people will still complain.

Odunayaw:
huh? Spain had 1000+ and were out of the WC sooner than they could get an erection!


Sleek football without result equals LOSS

I don't understand why Rohr hasn't talked about about the bad officiating.

It baffles me Sir. You were just robbed of not one but TWO clean goals in a match and all you could do is to smile like a he-goat and drool over opposition players afterwards. Not even a word of protest to draw the attention of the authorities to the grave injustice done to you.

Why won't people think you sold the match?

Chukwuemeka007:
I never thought that this game will make me come out of my ghost mode after nearly two years of ardent followership.

First of, I think the stern attacks on Rohr's person, intellect and coaching tactics is way out of proportion though I'm not absolving him of any wrongdoings.

We played a team who had their backs against the wall (a loss would put them on a bad position) in front of their home crowd. It's expected they do the initial gra-gra stuff.

If not for poor officiating, we were 3-1 winners. We also tend to forget the altitude issues over there resulting to a thin layer of oxygen. "overdoing" yourself will lead to early gassing out. I think it was Ecuador that thrashed Argentina 6 nil in a world cup qualifier played in Quito (a place of high altitude and low atmospheric pressure. A few Argentine players even fainted on that day)

We have taken to commonizing qualifying for the AFCON because Rohr qualified us forgetting that we failed to qualify on two occasions back-to-back even as defending champions in 2015. Our African Guardiola and our Special One couldn't.

For the first I'm seeing the Super Eagles qualify for the World Cup and AFCON without needing calculators nor praying for the downfall of another team though we faced though oppositions. PS I'm in my early 20s can't say about the 90s.

Even if we go ahead to win the AFCON some of us will still come here to say:

"forget he won the AFCON, Rohr can't take us anywhere. He's inept and by the way what's AFCON for a whole Nigeria?" forgeting that a "whole" Ghana last won a trophy in 1982 (pls correct me if I'm wrong) and not even an Avram Grant could get them another.

We exalt the way SA played saying they had "free-flowing and sexy game". But I'm 100% sure that if the SE played same yesterday we would still come here to say

"the team played rubbish, all runnings and not bite, no shots and no final balls just headless chicken runs and long irrelevant balls"

All I'm saying is this: Yes, coach Rohr isn't 100% of what we desire in a coach but he's giving us results! results! he's doing his job. so these over-blown criticisms and insults are funny to me. Asides the unfortunate loss to SA, we're unbeaten against African oppositions.

On a final note, to those prophets of doom who drop doomsday prophecies before our matches just so they can come back after the match to say "didn't I say it?" una weldone, more grease to your keypads.

Some are already predicting a Quarter final last bus stop for the SE for a competition that will commence in 7 months' time. SMH

Same way some started singing before the World cup that "Nigeria will not win or draw Argentina" and they came here to say the "didn't I tell you?"

Some say: with the array of talents at Rohr's disposal, we shouldn't be struggling at all so at that Rohr should be shown the exit door. I wonder what'd have happened to the coaches of Germany, Portugal and Spain following their early exit from the WC despite their "sexy and sleek football" plus huge arsenal of talents if they were Nigerians or employees of the NFF.

Happy Sunday fam! please pardon my long epistle

nelxxy:
which creativity and tactical play.. how many chance southies created. they just play long ball almost throughout the match so one dimensional. SA have only 2 corner and 2 shots whole of the match.. oga TheGoodjoe no fall my hand ooo
