Where art thou O my Vaseline?

timay:


Don't mind those people giving misinformation just to make Rohr look bad.

Infact Gabon were so good in that tournament that they topped their group with 9 points ( a group that had Tunisia and Morroco) and lost narrowly in the quarter finals after extra time in Penalty shoot out to Mali

The first time I heard about Aubameyang was during that particular tourney

And Gabon still fired him?


Ungrateful bastards.

ChrisKels:
Uzoho exudes confidence

He also exudes horrible clearances.

What if Rohr brings his buddy Onuachu in for Ighalo?.

The Tijani in disguise

Musa has regressed badly since 2014 WC. Now I see why Leicester had his a$$ glued to the bench all year long. His move to the oil money league hasn't helped his form at all. To complete a pass is like rocket science and brain surgery to him.

I hope Rohr brings Henry on for him. Na proper waste.

MetalJigsaw:
Tunisia 3.10 draw 2. 90 Nigeria 2.55

2.55 × 10000= 25500 ...Can Nigeria do this for me?

It's a safe bet bro. Tunisia is a poor team, we're far better quality wise. And Rohr's team always plays thier best football on the backs of losses.

We're beating them.

Icon4s:


Sorry bro. I don't think you have been watching this AFCON.

Has Mikel played a single game as a CM in this tourney?. How then can you rate a player's performance when he is played out of position?.

As far as I am concerned, Rohr is responsible for Mikel's poor show at this AFCON. It is clear even to the blind since the Croatia game at the WC that Mikel is no longer a no. 10. Yet Rohr insisted on playing him there and then dumping him on the bench for "not performing". What was he expecting?. How would Etebo perform if played as a CF or goalkeeper?.

The last game Mikel played as a CM for us was in his man-of-the-match performance against Zimbabwe. I strongly suggest you go rewatch that game to fully appreciate the quality of Mikel in his natural position. See the beautiful quick one-two passes with Iwobi. See the brilliant ball controls. See the midfield organization. See the flair. See the finesse. See the beauty. If not for the heavy rain and perhaps Onuachu, we would've put at least 3 goals into the Zimbabwean net.

Mikel as a CM was our key to beautiful football at this AFCON, but trust Rohr, the chief carpenter, to pick one of his co-tradesmen .

Icon4s:


You agree that Balogun should have started the Algeria game ahead of Ekong?
Forget about the Algeria game (because we are analyzing the situation before the game was played), rate the two players' performances up to the SA game.

Did you watch the friendly against Zimbabwe? Balogun was an absolute beast in that game, I remember an occasion when he was isolated in defence and marked by two Zimbabwean attackers but he somehow managed to not only beat them but still make a meaningful forward pass at the end of it to trigger a rapturous applause from the fans.

Omeruo and Ekong in such a situation will panic and kick the ball into the sidelines. That is the quality Balogun brings to the table. The Madagascar game was an off day for him, it happens even to the best players. You can't judge a player's quality by the achievements or mistakes of a single game.

Icon4s:


I don't understand the way some of us reason. Yet we come here to say all sorts of things against Rohr.

Are you sure you read through the bolded before you posted it?

It is very obvious some of us here only analyze in hindsight. Why didn't you make this recommendation before the Algeria game?

Wrong. I have always screamed and shouted for Mikel to be played at CM. Even when I saw the match list I criticized Rohr for his inflexibility.

So it's not a hindsight thing. It was clear since the first game of this tourney that Etebo is never a creator and it was costing us heavily as the team was finding it extremely difficult moving the ball from defence to attack. We all know this, it's not hidden knowledge.

Mikel should've started that game ahead of Etebo.

Etebo is just a combative box to box hard tackling midfielder. No finesse, no passing abilities, no game control abilities, nothing. Service to our forwards was virtually non existent, courtesy of a dead midfield. Sadly, Mikel who should've been at the heart of the midfield was played out of position a couple of times and then condemned to the bench.

Rohr needs to learn, you don't win a game with tackles alone.

Balogun should've started that game ahead of that Ekong. Ekong and Omeruo are horrible ball passers, they are only good for tackles and nothing else. Balogun brings that finesse and flair to the defence and in a game where Rohr intended to use his usual strategy of long passes from the CB's to the forwards, Balogun should've been the natural choice. I wonder how a coach can condemn a his best defender to the bench because of a single howler. That was just stupid of Rohr.

If I am to say my mind, with what I've seen from this Algerian team throughout this tourney, there is very little chance we are getting past them. It's the end of the road lads, it's time to go home.

P.S:
I am not trolling or hating, I love this team and I think they have already done thier best to get to this stage. We can only get better from here.

I hate to say this but......
























I told you so

Can't even watch the Gaddem match!. Can I just turn off the rain?

This rain don kill me today.

This match just desmistyfied Senegal in my eyes. Overhyped nonsense

Tunisia pk?

These people are luckier than they deserve.

mank1234:


Same as last match. No change.

Classic Rohr. Always play the team that won last time.

So Senegal couldn't beat this wack team in regulation time.

Shameful.

Abeg Make una post lineup na.

Tunisia is a disgrace. Now the fawk did they get here?

You were? You aren't a hater?


This is how as an assistant coach( you can't even see it sef even if Na table soccer we de play) would tell his coach Abi.
My friend, you need to detoxify your bowels!

I would've loved to engage in a debate with you on this but since you've shown yourself incapable of holding civil and respectful discourse, I guess I'll just walk away.

Come back when you've learnt some manners. Then we can talk.

We don't want peeps like you on our forum.
We are Nigerians, we don't settle for second best.

Get that into your pessimist alcoholic brain.

Please Sir, if you have a counter argument to my points, I am sure you can do so without resorting to cheap insults, cyber bullying and emotional blackmail.

This is a PUBLIC forum. You don't expect everybody here to agree with you. I table my views and if you don't agree, you are free to table yours. Thank you.

nelszx:


That's why the coaches are paid, they'd come up with something for the match against Algeria. Let them worry about that

I pray so bro. I pray so. I hope we win though my unbiased observations say we will lose. One love.



And for una wey dey bash me upandan, abeg na just prediction I make, I no kill pesin.

Odunayaw:


Don't you just feel like a bedwetter already? You love the team?

Be more concerned on your bowel disorder

I was only pointing out and noting the strengths of an opposition team. The same way I would've done if I were Rohr's assistant coach or scout. There is nothing negative about it.

Doesn't make me a hater.

My prediction for our game against Algeria in details:

(1) I expect an exciting counterattacking game from both sides especially if Rohr starts Chukwueze and Musa.

(2) I expect plenty of goals. From both sides. I expect Algeria to end up the better side with a goal or two.

(3) Algeria to gain 60-70 percent of the ball possession as Nigeria sits back and hits on the counter.

If I am to say my mind, with what I've seen from this Algerian team throughout this tourney, there is very little chance we are getting past them. It's the end of the road lads, it's time to go home.
