Did you know that Senegal's coaching crew is made up of their 2002 team?

Aliuo Cisse, Tony Syria, Omar Daf, Lamine Diatta.

But down here, Siasia, Oliseh, Amunike and Finidi fit work together without beef? I doubt


Naija which way?

gamaliel9:
This Senegalese team has been on for more that four years now....our 1994 team was from 1990 up to 1998....This team is just about two years...Germany started rebuilding after 2014..they are still on it....what i am driving at is even if we crash out.... Rohr has done a good job....four year is ok for a coach to build a winning team...i am not excusing him for lacklustre performance against Croatia nor the players...but i am looking at long term....our player turnover for national team these days is today....Westerhof used more than 120 players before he arrived at 1994 world cup ticket.

That's a lie bro. About six out of the 11players that started for Senegal yesterday haven't spent up to seven months with the team. Guys like Wague, Sarr, Ndiaye, Niang, Sabaly etc are all new comers and I doubt they have had more than 7caps each for Senegal before that worldcup opener

I said this sometime and some nay sayers started talking crap.



Claudio Ranieri; ” Awaziem is very good at defending set piece. He is also good at finishing them off at the other end. I’m surprised he isn’t starting for Nigeria after the stellar season he had in France last season. Maybe they will need him in their subsequent games as he is a threat from set piece “, Ranieri said.


Awaziem is the only defender in that Eagles team that can leap, next is Omeruo. Ekong shies away from aerial duels.

BascoVanVeli Whats ur take on this own goal conceded by Egypt considering their keeper was the best in the first round of matches?

TheSuperNerd:
I am with you on this. John Fashanu is known to most of these guys. He should also endeavor to aid with bringing some of them in. Talk is cheap after all.

Very cheap my brother, these are the hypocrites we are talking about. Now he wanna make the system look bad, whereas, he hasn't done anything to save the situation as someone who started the nonsense. Oloshi

If this news is anything to go by, then e dun be for us.

John Fashanu Advises Rohr : Go And Find More Victor Moses' In The English Premier League

Published: June 19, 2018

Wimbledon legend John Fashanu has noted that the Nigeria squad at the 2018 World Cup is not balanced as they have too many youthful and inexperienced players which could lead to their downfall during the tournament.

The former England international has advised Gernot Rohr to go in search of more Victor Moses to bolster his squad after the World Cup, if he remains the coach of the national team, adding that there are some players of Nigerian descent plying their trade in the English Premier League the manager is unaware of.

Fashanu has expressed regret that he chose to represent England internationally over Nigeria, and has advised the likes of Tammy Abraham, Fikayo Tomori, Dominic Solanke and Philip Billing not to follow in his footsteps.

''Even myself, I had the opportunity, sadly I couldn't get the opportunity as much as I wanted to play for Nigeria, so I opted to play for England, became the first Nigerian to play for England which is great,'' Fashanu told Channels Television.

''Now we are trying to persuade many of our players who are abroad to come back home and play for their fatherland. The mistakes that we elders made have gone and past, now let's start building.

''It is not enough to get Victor Moses and maybe Mikel Obi, we need a few more solid, older experienced players.

''Obviously, Victor Moses is an all-rounder, there is nothing he can't do, as long as that is the first name any manager should start up with, obviously Mikel Obi because he is experienced.

''That is our captain, he is an experienced man, he has played over the world, he knows what he is doing but we need more.''

Fashanu continued : ''We have them everywhere, it was difficult for people to know John Fashanu was a Nigerian when I was playing in England.

''We have wonderful players playing in the English Premier League who are of Nigerian descent. It is for the coach to do his work, go and find these players.

''The English Premier League and playing in Europe gives you an experience you cannot find anywhere else.

''Playing against Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham is different from playing in the local league, so it gives you an advantage. It is for the coach to go out there and start looking, so we have a nice balance.''

Brian Idowu, William Troost-Ekong, Leon Balogun and Tyronne Ebuehi are the foreign-born players in the Nigeria squad for the 2018 World Cup.

John if you are truly as patriotic as u pretend to be, then you are in the best position to bring this boys as someone who has been there before and someone who started that silly trend. Help correct your error by going to talk to those guys about the implications of dumping Nigeria for England and the gains of playing for Nigeria. Make them understand that u made a mistake starting this trend, then u enjoin them not to repeat the same mistake you made, no be to dey here dey yarn trash.

Mbaye Niang is everything Vicmo thought he was. That guy is truly a lion, he moves his body like Simmy, Chai if only Simmy was half as good.

I hope our full backs saw this match to see how those little boys were bombing forward, yet defending with grit.



Senegal really made me proud from the defense to the midfield and the attack, they were simply superb. Boys played with passion and the hunger for success in them was so vissible.

We made this same Poland team look world class when we played them in the friendly, but Senegal just dumped them to where they truly belong, right before our very eyes.


Oh Rohr why?

I pray Senegal bails the continent today because Africa is the only continent yet to taste a win or even gain a point so far in this world cup. Its shameful

What time is this match in Nigeria?

TheSuperNerd:
I am stunned that you Chriskels, the lone ranger really understands what I am up against against this prickhead called Komekn. He walks into this thread and drop his urine and faeces all over the place spilling degrading and subtly rubbishing comments on our Nigerian talents that are "Naija-borns" downplaying their potentials and talents and raising up only negative examples with respect to where their career path can be headed

But when it comes to the Nigerian Foreign-borns (most especially those born in the UK), this unbelievable buffoon of a man starts hyping and doing everything in his power to talk them up and make them seem like the best thing our national team can get our hands on. He also will only use positive examples to hype their career paths unlike the naija-born players.

Are our local Naija-born players/talents not also Nigerians? Are they not also talents that should be considered in our recruitment drive into the senior national team set-up?

Even when I dropped genuine newsbits on the rise of Samuel Chukwueze, this foolish king of bigotry and borough sentiments walked in to subtly play down Chukwueze. He did same for K.Nwakali despite the lad showing brave heart and the display of a super talent against Atletico. What kinda guy would take delight in talking down Nigerian-born players that were born in Nigeria but champions every UK-born Nigerian kid? Look no further people.... Answer is A Stupid Bigot like Komekn.


This nonsense will not go unchecked any longer. He is so clueless about Naija-born players not born in UK yet he feels he must have a say on them especially when all he has to say is negative and untrue. It is norm with that guy. A real PRI**K he is.


I am all for the recruitment drive to focus on both Naija Foreign-borns/bred and Naija-borns born in Nigeria but plying their trade abroad. Those at home would be covered under our grassroots drive and then our league scouting for CHAN and co.
Before you, Komekn, or most monikers you see now landed on this thread, I have always championed (even from the previous threads) that we should do our possible best to get the Naija Foreign-borns/bred that we can get be it in the UK, In Germany, in Switzerland orHolland, etc... But now he wants to champion a lie that I discriminate against the foreign-borns... KOMEKN IS A SUPER LIAR AND AN UNTRUSTWORTHY IDIOT. A BONAFIDE ENEMY OF NIGERIAN FOOTBALL HIDING UNDER THE SWEET TALKS OF WANTING TO SEE US WIN.... For those who are smart to decode his words, he never means us well. Never! Even when he wants to analyse the team like an analyst, he must strike a jibe at how average we are and how poor our players are bla bla bla... This guy is not genuinely in favor of seeing us rise. He is only here to promote his subtle bigotry and hiding under the cloud of Nigerian football association/federation being corrupt to invite these UK-born Nigerians.


Enough is Enough. I won't stand his aim to attack or rubbish our rising big-heart super talents in K.Nwakali, Victor Osimhen or Samuel Chukwueze or any other for that matter. He should beware of my presence to hit him hard if he ever tows that line again. Rubbish!

That guy is a disgrace. I have never seen a man with so much hate for his country men. We all know what these kids pass through to make it in football unlike their foreign counterparts, yet, every little opportunity that animal gets, he uses to ridicule them, their efforts and talents.


We all read what Balogun said, he thought he was having it tough until he visited Nigeria. He couldn't control his tears because it was done on him that it was a privilege that he was born in Europe, ever since, he now has even bigger respect for his team mates who made it from this merciless environment.

But here one big for nothing buffoon is busy insulting them. A very big shame on that filthy thing that goes by the moniker KOMEKN.

Colombia carry small children full team, see what Japan is doing to them.

TheSuperNerd:
Ehhhhh... Sorry dollopheaded one. I didn't even bother reading all those crap you wrote up there. Got not the time for liars and bigoted idiots like yourself. So long sucker...

I never supported u in any brawl here because I find it unnecessary, but in this case, u fighting a just course, I'm solidly behind you. Enough of this rubbish from that boy, we have pretended and tolerated him enough. He is a cheap liar.

TheSuperNerd:
Look at this dollopheaded liar...

Shut up! And get your lying smelling neandearthalic double-faced nonsense out of my mention you PR**K.. Rubbish! I am doing the thread the honor of describing your low level reasoning, two-faced pretense mixed with the odour of your 1000% bias against everything Nigerian-born.... And laying it all bare for them to see... You are nothing but a bigoted coward always twisting things to favor only your beloved borough club.

I speak for both Nigerians born abroad and born in Nigeria but doing their thing abroad. But you castigate and rubbish every Naija-born talent that are not foreign-borns and only look to hype up and tell good tales of the foreign-borns. What exactly does that make you, Dollophead? What?!

Trying to paint me as one who discriminate against Foreign borns. You really are st*pid. Very very in fact because you refused to understand a convo.

Get out mister... And let me see road clearly abeg. You are a joke and always have been. So long...

I have never met a man so stewpid and always claiming to be a saint. U just described who that boy truly is.

mank1234:
With Ighalo you won't create chances cos he's always with a defender and doesn't make runs. It's runs that create space for a through pass. It's easier for people to blame the midfielders but if the striker doesn't open up how do you create the chance?

A chance is only created when the striker has good positioning. U get to position urself well by being mobile but in Ighalo's case, he was always stuck with a defender. He even looks too heavy to run with a pumped out belle. I blame Rohr for all this because he works with this players everyday and should know his players (the good, better and best ones for every position in any system).


Guys, honestly, I am tired of Rohr.

Martz101:
Bros if we don't support our team who will??

I support my team thats why for once, I never criticized the team but the coach who is bent on destroying everything the guys have worked for.

kennysville:
Friends, Countrymen, Nairalanders....

It hurts but the truth has to be said. I dont think I was surprised at the result considering the approach our gaffer took. A glance (not even a cursory look) at his team list tells you what to expect. By the time we start to take cursory look, we will all notice the formation had something wrong in it.

If there is anything I have noticed about our coach , its his stubborness and supposed loyalty to his players , most especially the ones that got us qualified. Having said that, I wanna ask a question. Why keep playing a formation that failed against european opponents during the friendlies? Why did we bother to play the friendlies if he was going to keep repeating the same thing? Lets take it back to the friendly against poland. We scraped through that match and we played nothing of note and won the game on the strength of selfish play of moses which resulted in a penalty. Lets not forget that the referee in the said match is an EPL referee ( Michael Oliver). So we got away with a win only to crumble against Serbs. My question is what did we change Before going into the games against both England and Czech? At best we got labelled a 2nd half team.

The way Rohr kept tinkering the team, it felt like a mechanic trying to put the steering wheel of a car inside the trunk and expecting to steer the car by just opening the door and closing it. We all know how machines work. A wrong pulley or cog in the wrong place and ur machine grinds to a halt. Why will he not play with the strengths of his players? Is it a must to play 4-3-2-1? Or 4-3-3? In fact the pertinent question is what exactly is his coaching philosophy? Is it one of winning mentality? Or one of Conservatism? Its like setting ur team up with no plan to win a game and saying if we win, its a plus.... afterall the players are average players. Siasia is known for 90mins attacking football, Keshi is known for being very defensive in his approach but I cant understand what Rohr will tag his own philosophy (get battered in the first half then wake up and put up a seemingly brave fight in the 2nd half so it can appear like the players played well? )

I would have expected him to build heavily on the 3-5-2 formation because it brought about the best in a lot of players. Even blind Bartimeus could see this in all clarity. It is a formation that relied on pace which some of our players seem to have and ultimately would have affected his 23 man list simply because some players WILL never fit in. It is a formation that works with 1-2 quick interchanges of passes. Even if he wanted to accomodate all his beloved players, he could still do so in a 3-5-2. For crying out lout, who says both Shehu and Ebuehi cannot play in the same game at the ssme time?? If he noticed that Ebuehi has pace and can run the wings, why not groom him into a winger than can have sweet ball deliveries in the wings? Oh I forgot! he doesnt have more RBs. This is why you need utility players in your team. Its called plan B,C and D.
Tactically, he goofed big time! I bet he is one of those that prefer Nokia3310 phones to Androids.
Oh gosh now its all adding up! We Should have known from his way of dressing. Wearing short sleeved suits with odd color trainers.

If its not that he planned sabotaging Nigeria, after seeing the way we played the first half against England and Czech, why repeat the same thing at the world cup? Who is he trying to accomodate really? Why play that stupid formation of lone ranger upfront? And as if that wasnt enough, his substitutions were mind boggling.
I see a lot of people blaming Mikel. Mikel cannot split himself into 2 being both a defensive and attacking midfielder at the same time. Lets also not forget that he doesnt have the pace anymore. Common sense should play Mikel in the role he has been TRAINED to play in the last 13years. Who was charged with the responsibility of driving the attack? Oh yeah.... its Mikel. And he is supposed to pass to who? Ighalo? Watch Ighalo and see that all long balls to him upon first touch, he goes to ground. His own idea of being a 9 is drawing fouls from opponents. Only for Moses to come and take the useless resultant free kick into the air for...... nobody in particular. And this is the one we charged with scoring all our goals? Kolewerk now?




AVERAGE PLAYERS
At this juncture, we should stop saying average players. Mikel the leader plied his trade for 11 long years with chelsea. What is average about him? Iheanacho before being offloaded by Baldiola was not a flash in the pan, otherwise there wouldnt av been a buy back clause inserted into his transfer. If we keep tagging them average just because of the clubs they play for, when will they actually be seen as quality? The players we currently have, have all it takes to beat just about any team and i mean every word of it. Our gaffer should be brave enough to attack like his life depended on it. Play the right personnels for the good of the team. Have an attacking mentality and we will see a different super Eagles.

These are the same set of players that qualified, average or not! They are the same players that beat Argentina. Stop calling them Average so you can downplay their prowess!!. If this team fails, its not because we lack quality.... it is down to the coach!!

End of Long Story!!!

I still support the team even in their frailties.
#NAIJA4LIFE

Rohr is a scam. Something tells me that man doesnt really care about our game, and by so doing, toying with our emotions. I'm beginning to believe dude is just about building his CV and smiling to the bank at the same time, if not, Whats the explanation for his unnecessary conservatism and stubbornness? Maybe he is plane clueless and this stage is too big for him.

I just tire

So people still believe stubborn Rohr can turn things around for good? Yawns! Mehn una lye down for bare floor.

I will love to be proven wrong, but until then, we are down and out.

This is looking like our worst ever worldcup outing. Painful, really painful considering we had our best preparation ever

Oboy no more camp news, wetin dey happen?

Oasis007:


Read well Bruh I didn't exonerate myself or claimed I wasn't a Victim too. Check the Monikers I listed, did I put myself on the List?!

Yes I called him white Onigbinde, but can you atleast dig out a Post where I called him clueless?!

Though this is a Faceless Forum, but I'm convinced you are an Adult, cos you are a married Man. My Advice; endeavor to control your Emotion and stay off saying or doing things when you are in anger Mood.

Thanks.

If I slap u eh!!

Lol bro I'm not married yet.

Are you seeing the Belgium match?

Oasis007:


Some Monikers really amazed me. I thought they religiously believe in Rohr, trust his Project and ready to stand by him even if he fails at this World Cup.

They preached severally to us not to be fickle-minded, just in case things go south at the Mundial. They tagged Rohr the second coming of Messiah, and the best thing to ever happen to Nigeria Football - post-Westerhof Era though.

Alas! They keep wailing more than bereaved. They keep lamenting, gnashing Teeth, ready to tear down Rohr and his Project. My Point is; why are they preaching what they can't practice?!

Some Monikers are looking up to them cos they are Homies on this Thread, but they've failed those who believed in their loyalty and patriotism.

TheSuperNerd, Michael2, Mujtahida, Tbaba1234, Joseph1013, Komekn, Icon4s, Forgiveness, and some other notable Monikers weren't as well happy with the Result, but didn't discard Rohr, the Project and the Players because of the Match.

They analyzed the Match, where it went wrong, and suggested tactical Solutions to avoid another negative Result in our next Game. They ain't cursing or insulting Rohr or the Coaching Crew, they picked the talking-points, analyzed it, debated it and already move unto the next Match.

Pls Eagulians, enough of wailings. Let's go back to pre-world Period. Let's believe again...... coz in a Game of Football - Nothing is Impossible..

Coming from a man who called him clueless white Onigbinde. Your hypocrisy no be here oo

Akanji was just okay but not exceptional. He is not inventive and he is too scared to give forward passes. But he did okay and will improve for his team.

I wish him luck

Whatever happens, let's give Philip Anyanwu his first call up in september, he is the most ready of all, experience wise. At this age, Mikel shouldn't be starting our matches, he should be coming in to steady the ship late in the second half like Stephen Appiah did for Ghana in 2010.

Post worldcup, Etebo and Philip Billing should be our main CMs. But before then, we need to sack Rohr for a coach who will acknowledge Iwobi's creativity to play him as our AM.

Mexico needs to be more clinical in front of goal.

Im loving the fight between those two youngsters, Lozano and Kimmich. Bench of talents

forgiveness:
So you have your cliques here and if anybody doesn't belong or doesn't support your clique is Osu caste away, ba!?

Oga! It not as if most of those your clique get brain pass but it is just dat your clique are static in the state of equilibrium.

I couldn't read meaning into this bro. What point were u trynna make?

Lozano is giving Mexico what Onyekuru would have given us. See pace and dribbles.

Chicharito hasn't been clinical enough though.

I haven't seen Germany under such pressure in a long while.

When People say Victor Moses is skillful, I just Lol. If u wanna know the true definition of skills, watch this Mexican team, watch Carlos Vela.

So far in this tournament, I haven't seen a team so fast, skillful with 100 percentage pass accuracy as the Mexican team I'm seeing now. This is what is called total football


This guys are teaching Germany and the whole world some football lessons.

klexycole:
Sir, you deserve no answer from me as you aren't cultured with your questions/comments. So I rest my case.

Have a great one.

Better luck next time

klexycole:

Enjoy your weekend bros.

Lol you see u have no answers to my question and no facts to back up ur lame claims?

You run comot with ur tail between ur thighs

Oasis007:


You need to take a Break Bro. Did I say he had a Hand in his Invitation?!

Ok then, maybe Chriskels suggested Uzoho first. Kog45 can tell better.

Mind you, anybody could have done the suggestion firstly, its nothing to rave about.


Guy free me abeg Happy Sunday biko
