NFF Communication Director, Ademola Olajire; "I’m not aware of Rohr’s sack because there are procedure for doing things at the federation. Before such decision could be taken, there will be a meeting of the NFF board and a release issued to the public.As for now, I’m not aware of the sack. The online platform you claimed reported the story cannot announce his sack without confirmation from the NFF."

From adepoju Tobi Samuel Twitter page

All Nigeria soccer reports that Rohr is still in charge jare

Rohr was better than largaback. I don’t like some of rohr decisions thus far, but he was good in 2018

Better how?
He was?
2018 was 3 years ago o, I hope you remember

zuchyblink:
If Rohr Qualifies us for 2022 world cup,he will be one of our best coaches ever. Qualified us for 2 Afcon,2 world cup and AFCON bronze. I know these records are above average but he doesn't deserve the bashing. It is quite unfortunate that Nigerians are too emotional

It's not only about results now bro but quality of play. I stand to be corrected but it's very possible to play good football and achieve results at the same time.
Imagine, I forgot we had a make or mar match today and didn't feel too bad about missing it because I know it was always going to be an eyesore. I am just tired of the man Gaskiya

zuchyblink:
how far about Berti voghts and Lars larger Back?

In my opinion, Eagles played some good football under Lagerback. Just that he had a short time.
I will not want to mention Lagerback and Rohr in the same sentence.

Who is this Grozny of a person?
The moniker registered on Nairaland few months ago

Meliforme:
Victor Moses is more guilty of over-dribbling, losing the ball and selfish plays.
Let's not allow the constant hanker for the things that we have had or yet to have overtake us.

For the emboldened, you are right. That's what the current squad lack, but you should take cognizance in the fact that what you described is the job of midfielders, not wingers.
Victor Moses enjoyed a lot of service from Mikel.

I ponder what Victor Moses will do against a team like C.A.R coupled with the deficiency we suffered in the midfield.

Pace, dribbling, through balls, and finishing, are what accounts for good wing forward play and these are areas where players like Samuel Chukwueze and Chidera Ejuke excels, making them more preferable than Victor Moses.
However Victor Moses's contributions to defense, vision and crossing makes him an excellent wingback.

Hmmm!
Will Moses readily agree to play wingback for Nigeria? I doubt.

charlesemeka85:
even uncapped lookman is better than all our current wingers

This is true until he makes his debut and you come here singing another song

Joebie:
haha.. Ugbo knew what he wanted? There were also stories that he was switching to Nigeria. So how did it change to Canada overnight?

The boy must have seen that there is no space in the SE striking role. And remember, this is a one-time change of allegiance, so switching to Nigeria might not be worth it, which probably informed his choice of Canada. He is serious about playing International football. I like that

isan:
What are you even saying ? You people blame NFF for everything , has lookman or ejaria ever come out publicly that they want to play for Nigeria ?

God bless you my brother.

Joebie:
There are too many conflicting stories. When I get time I will have to read all the stories from the start and deduce something. Is someone telling me Ovie Ejaria also has been playing hide and seek?

If there's player I will ever respect, it's Ike Ugbo. The guy plain die. No hanky panky. He declared publicly knowing what he want. I am glad that he has now decided for Canada. Be plain.

Damioduso1:
I have a feeling the nff is intentionally delaying the switch. I believe the reason to be that they are protecting the spots of some certain players in the super eagles team (Musa, Shehu etc).
If highly talented player join the fold it will be hard for Rohr to justify these junks in a 23 man squad.

Is it a coincidence that as soon as caf declared that they will allow 28 players for afcon
there seems to be a rush to get the application of change of nationality for both Ovie Ejaria and Ademola lookman switch all of a sudden

You didn't read that the boy just declared for us?. On this matter, leave NFF alone and tackle the players playing hide and seek with us

Embell:
Both of them are not better than Onuachu and Moses even at club level, particularly this season, not to talk of in SE.

Gbam!. You valid bro.

Kog45:
Sir you can say this cos we have a very rigid coach...one or two underperforming players can be dropped...Pls how important is Moses and Onuachu to the team that they cannot be dropped if they are not performing.

They can be dropped for better players sir. I have never fancied them both anyways. But not from fry pan to fire abeg

Subzero047:
Someone was talking about many SE players flopped on their debut, how many are they? Aribo scored against Ukraine on his debut, Maduka impressed against Brazil on his debut, Zaidu Sanusi turned heads on his debut, Uzoho had a magnificent world cup qualifier are we going to talk about Osimhen, Chukwueze, Ejuke, Ebuehi and others? When you given a chance with the national team you grab it with both hands not here talking about 71 minutes this that, 71 minutes is a whole match bro

I just tire
In an inconsequential match for that matter. Had it been it was in an all-important match now, we for say na pressure

For me, Ighalo should have resisted that temptation to come back. The present SE has no bearing or direction. If any thing goes wrong, nobody will blame Osimhen, Chukwueze, or even Iwobi o, na Ighalo them go come for. The dude better no miss any big chance again o, if not Yakubu dragging go be small for Wetin hin eye go see

charlesemeka85:
so this man recalled ighalo and left out a hot and inform awoniyi?

Lol
I'm sure Awoniyi will get the experience when he clock 28yrs
As it is now, Ighalo and only 2 other strikers will make it to world cup. You can't tell me you will use Odion qualify for WC and not take him there

andrewbaba44:
Onyeka didn’t do well on his first eagles appearance but he still received another call up and I am glad onyeka is doing well today .

4 reasons why he got another chance
1. He moved to Epl and is balling there
2. He plays in a position where we are short of options
3. He is younger
4. He was recalled with injuries to Ndidi and Etebo

Some others might not be so lucky bro. Such is life

Kog45:
Guys enough of this flopping issue....how on earth an allegation raised by Nwakaeme brother led to this for God sake.

I asked a question on how are we going to react if the said allegation was on local coach? but we are shifting goal post without even talking on the allegation.

I remember when Sarki bribery allegation came up without even mentioning Keshi I know how some guys reacted,some one even said he believed Sarki 100% whereas the same Sarki as at 2013 cannot even make starting 50 of SE talk less of invitation to 30 man squad but now Nwakaeme flopped instead for us to deliberate on the issue.

Pls let's talk on the allegation cos I have made my own opinion that it is not possible and Subzero said Nwakaeme and Sarki made a false statement.so let hear our view on it.

Nwakaeme flopping no be koko if you guys believed that Sarki story is true...

I don't believe both stories from Sarki and Nwakaeme (regardless of the coaches concerned). Why is it that the tale came from very average players who stood no chance in the SE?. The same reason why I take the story from Igiebor with a pinch of salt

Kog45:
Pls try and read Emma Sarki allegation cos some here believed that he was saying the truth.

If they can believed such then am waiting for them to say something on this...

Mind you I don't believe this allegation.

Sir, How good was he in the first place?. I watched him at the under20 and was not impressed. E be like say me sef go talk say na bribe no make me rep Nigeria.
The question is, must everyone play international football?. I don't know why some players can not just accept that they are not good enough for the national team.

Subzero047:
Bro Nwakaeme is a 32yr old playing in Turkey there are not much upsides to being his agent, if someone like Awoniyi made that claim it would have substance besides there are many players with different agents playing in the SE so why would a player Rohr had a good reason to bench come up with such a ridiculous story?

Seriously, if it's someone like Chukwueze, Ejuke or maybe Aribo that made this allegations, I would have considered it but not Nwakaeme who was playing like a pregnant woman in an inconsequential game devoid of pressure.

do4luv14:
you wanna tryna preach on the HERE and NOW to me right,

see no lemme talk ooo

LoL.
Make me too keep quiet

zuchyblink:
Copied

Not 2018 WCQ, 2019 AFCONQ you mean?

That said, all this exploits and experience in SE colours was only achieved in about a year. What happened in the years before then?. Ighalo has been very poor in GWG prior to this 2019 AFCONQ and the following AFCON (that you have been using to sing his praise) which I even call a one year or one season wonder.

zuchyblink:
Countries whose players are playing in Saudi,uae,Qatar, Tunisia and Egypt are doing better than our National team.I Used to think that football starts in Europe and ends in Europe until Egypt humbled Africa for three consecutive editions of AFCON with 80 percent home based players

And they won it with the likes of Ighalo and Rohr?

do4luv14:
which one you don score for Naija league?

I am not a footballer bro. Even if I am, competency and merit in the HERE and NOW first and not past glory in the national team that didn't even last up to two years.

zuchyblink:
Ighalo on 9 league goals now

........ in Saudi Arabia! (yawns)

Mujtahida:
I have always been struck by the difference between club and national team football. Appears national team football is more difficult or rather not as easy as club football

Yes o
I realized that since. I don't jubilate over any new player anymore. Make he play for us first make we see am. The much talked about Eze and Olise might not live up to some people's expectations that's if the eventually represent us.

jihday:
if this lineup is true, then I’m shocked he dropped Ejuke and left Simon

For me, Anyhow, make he Sha win. Na correct win I need

victornoah:
The lineup is pretty much OK, apart from the inclusion of Collins. I think Bassey should have been played instead.

Rohr will do no such thing bro. The guy no wan experiment. Qualification first. And besides, I noticed that a player will be rated very good until he put on the GWG jersey. That's when you will see wailings and gnashing of teeth
The Olise that we are all clamoring for might come and even stay on the bench for Iwobi. Let's learn to appreciate the bird at hand.

zuchyblink:
Victor Ikpeba said that Alex Iwobi is good forgetting that Iwobi has done more for the super eagles than him.
Iwobi vs Ikpeba
Iwobi- 48 matches,9 goals in six years while
Ikpeba-31 matches,7 goals in ten years

Like I always said, the achievement of some of these ex-internationals (though excellent in their own time) are sometimes overrated jare

Icon4s:
Laugh Wan kee me here since with your throw back snapshots . Truly, the internet never forgets.

TheGoodJoe just summarized it. I don't believe in a one game wonder. You need to prove yourself at Senior level (consistently turning up) before I will give that nod. I have had too many heart breaks from young players of the past to know this.

As for Isaac Success, he has been the greatest disappointment since after Macaulay Chrisantus. So matured and well drilled striker for his young age as at then. Scoring goals like a 25years old. He looked like an already made striker.

Well I just pray he manages to blossom at a late age.

Isaac Success really fall person hand Sha. Truly the race is not to the swift. I pray things turn around for him

12large1:
I cannot wait to watch chidera ejuke. I don’t know why I like this player so much. Also, I expect iheanacho and osimehn to score tomorrow

It's like he's not going to start sha

BOOOMNAIJA:
How so?

He came late to camp. Dude must av probably thought he has arrived
