The only time I really enjoyed Rohr's team was the first half of Ukraine vs Nigeria. The manner the Super Eagles attacked during the first half is how i have always wished this set of Super Eagles could attack.


Daninya33:
The few times I enjoyed Rohr's team where against

#Zambia 1st leg world cup qualifiers

#Algeria 1st leg world cup qualifiers

#Cameroon 1st leg world cup qualifiers

#Argentina friendly game prior to the world cup

Aside that ,he has been clueless.

Formation- Wack

Tactics- Wack

Substitution- Wack


He has to be fired.

For 4 years now,we don't even have a team.
Experimental team,tactics every time.
No outlined pattern of play for the SE.
Selection has not been devoid of sentiments.
Makeshifts players for positions where we already have natural players.

I will say it again and again

He sabotaged us at the World Cup.

No apologies whatsoever for my comment.

Dude won't even get a semifinals berth in the next Afcon even if we qualify.
We will still crash out in the group stage even if we qualify for Qatar 2022.

His team doesn't inspire confidence at all.

Clueless Rohr...

Na to dey assembly players up and down wey he no go fit utilize properly.

The Late Amodu Shaibu was a better tactician than Rohr.

Dude couldn't even utilize properly our two friendly matches.

How do one know that a player ain't ready if he has not been given the platform to showcase what he has to offer?

Presenters in Brilla Fm said he doesn't understand why Rohr didn't give other goalkeepers to prove themselves.

Rohr is a sentimental coach. Imagine trying to retain some players in the national team because their place are under threat. He then start converting them to makeshift players.

What a joke of a coach.

It's good he experimented with them and we can see they are not good enough.

Game over

Its very apparent we need to have three quality midfielders to complement and or compete with what we have already.

Ajayi can not play midfield.

IMO I did not see anything that Akpoguma brought to the table. Balogun, Omeruo are becoming close to being past thier sell by date.

Musa is expired sorry that's my opinion. KC needs to loose weight maybe take a leaf from Iwobi, he looks heavy and immobile.

Iwobi has improved IMMENSELY that lazy player tag TOTALL removed. Our best player today.

None of our wingers can cross to save their lives. We have only two quality wingbacks Aina and Ebuehi.

Dessers and Ejuke not given enough time to form any opinion.

Midfielde nothing to report.

Wingers need to go back to school, Chukwueze is not showing the initial promise. Decision making poor and no end of product.

Strikers well KC scored but beyond that he was not impressive.

Sanusi all speed and no end product, technically poor.
. This is devoid of emotive bias. Nice.

Rohr is not it. He cannot take our Super Eagles to the promised land.


I digress - The belief that Iheanacho is an excellent penalty taker who never misses was dispelled yesterday

Dude is 50-50 when it comes to penalties. His penalty was piss poor

Games I enjoyed under rohr were
2- 0 iceland
3-1 Algeria
4-0 Cameroon
2-0 Ukraine (first half)
3-2 Cameroon (Afcon)
1-0 Tanzania
2-1 Zambia
1-0 Poland
2nd half vs England
1st flash of brilliance vs Brazil
In these games we were attack minded

I don't understand why this coach didn't play Agu instead of Ajayi. Ajayi not good enough for the DMF.

Akpoguma is no good on the RB position. He should fight for the CB but seeing Omeruo and Balogun perform well in that position, I don't think he can start games.

He has to compete with Awaziem, Ajayi etc for that position.

Awaziem is good at passing the ball but not good enough for the RB position, he should bring Aina back. He is far better.

Aina, Ebuehi and Ezihubue should slog it out for the RB position.

Zaibu is not better than Collins. Dude looks ordinary for now.

Omeruo and Balogun na boss. I really enjoyed both yesterday. I think they should be starters.

Wow! Ejuke na baller. We need that kind of player in the national team but how can Rohr bring him in just 19 minutes to the end of the match when some players are obviously tired? We wouldn't have known he add something to the team if Rohr didn't play him. The same way he didn't play the goalkeepers.

Iheanacho has improved. I love almost all he did yesterday. Pressing, defending, joining the mildfield etc. Like I said before, I will use him behind the striker.

He should have passed the ball to Desser instead of shooting the ball.

Moses has improved greatly. Obviously the best winger we have now.

Chuks!? I think that coach in Villarreal has brainwashed his brain from taking a shoot. I think Rohr should advise him to try score sometimes when he has the opportunity.

Okoye is a good addition to the team but I don't believe he's better than Alampasu and Yakubu. All I see here is favouritism.

Iwobi was good yesterday. Love the way he tried to protect his mate and make the Tunisian got a yellow.

I don't know why Rohr refused to entrust the DM position to Agu instead of Ajayi. Is Rohr insinuating Ajayi is better in that position? I disagree. Rohr is just biased and prejudice.

Musa. Hmmm

Dessers showed an instinct of a striker with the way he turned and created goal scoring chance out of nothing.

Bring Azeez back to the team.

You needed a CMF yet you overlooked Azeez even while Etebo was out, instead you resorted to "thoughting" and expecting miracles from makeshifts? Lol yeye tactically and technically inept coach

See bro it doesn't matter there are positives in the game we all know now that ekong,omerou,Ajayi are carpenters. Balogun is back in form, we now have a good GK in maduka I must honestly say am impressed also zaidu will surely nail his spot as a LB...ejuke too is fantastic these are positives. We can be in major tournament and we won't have a CMF probably as a result of injury et al...we are always preparing for the worst.

Are you kidding with the bolded? You don't know anything but speak via sentiment and prejudice.

Ajayi is better as a CB. Rohr should do the needful.


If it was Alampasu that conceded that goal yesterday I am certainly sure tbaba1234 will come here and be talking about how he was out of position but behold his goalkeeper knowledge suddenly vamus because na em favourite. What prejudice.

Rohr shouldn't try and play Semi Ajayi in the DMF position during the upcoming qualifiers in November, Etebo would do a better job being that Ndidi is injured.

Okay fine no problem these are negatives and it will be sorted out in the subsequent match remember this is just a friendly and we've been out for months let's just hope for the best. With torun and tosin paring in the defense we should have a strong center halves and ehzibue is coming we have a strong midfield with ndidi and aribo and 80% of those that played yesterday are bench warmers so why you fusing

I think we should try Hilary Gong in the wings. From what i read of him he has accurate crosses. Let us just check it out since crossing seems a problem to us.

The only place crosses should be coming from, is from the full backs, we don't need no crossing wingers.

I still don't think we've gotten it right with our midfield. I know you want to point out the depth we have in that area, but wait a minute.

Their style of play are similar, we've got Ndidi, Onazi, Agu and Agbo (only that he's a bit more disciplined when asked to shield the defense, otherwise he's just another tackling machine) Etebo is a workaholic like the rest, we won't miss him if he fails to make the final 23 to the WC, and I'm not really excited about his recent performance in Spain. It's really funny how Rohr expects his Midfield to blend when he takes out Mikel to bring in an Agu who's a destroyer to partner with other midfielders like Ndidi and Onazi.

The only different midfielders we currently have in the team are Mikel & Ogu. I'm simply not satisfied with the Midfield selection

Seems nobody wants to say it, but there is nothing special about Akpoguma. Before he committed and even when he did I was not as excited as I would be if it was either Toruna, Adarabi or Udu. I always maintained that Awaziem and even Omerou are levels ahead of him as a center back but some guys were rating him higher just because he plays for Hoffeinhen.


BTW, Balogun remains our best center back, dude is getting better as he ages ala Italian players

I didn't show any excitement at his switch at all.

He's not an upgrade on Awaziem.
