I'm not arguing with you guys concerning Rohr's incompetence but right now, which world class coach will like to coach a country that owes 8 months salary. Rohr is using Nigeria to shine and we can't pay him off because we are always cash trapped even though Pinnick could still lavish millions on FIFA president who visited him.

I think NFF has signed a slave contract with Rohr. Rohr will only leave when he is tired.

On the performance of our boys today, I think Uzoho did well if not for that goal. I am more confident in him than Okoye and Akpeyi. Did you all see the save he made with his legs? Okoye wouldn't do that.

Frank Onyeka, Joe Aribo, Chidera Ejuke (If not for his endless dribbings) all did well.

Our boys play to the gallery and they don't position themselves to score

I mean we all know this but it can not be used to defend what happened today.
People using that to cover up for Rohr's inadequacies are being ridiculous. Almost every coach we've had has faced these challenges.
As far as TODAY'S game is concerned, Rohr is 100 percent responsible for the loss. Simple.

Kog45:
Don't mind me joor you know I don watched different generations of eagles but for some people telling us 94 class were overrated,no I will not take that...so I needed to go to archives that Segun Odegbami,Adokiye,Muda Lawal,Christian Chuckwu of 80s will enter this team with ease talkless of 94 team.

Oh creative midfielder but I thought we are criticizing Victor Ikpeba for expressing his opinion and funny enough some started comparing Ikpeba with Iwobi,forgetting Ikpeba was former Africa footbalker of year.

Sure Rohr must go,forget Pinnick by the time Nigerians turn the heat on him he got know say Warri dey come last.

Lol I purposely stayed out of that debate because people were just spewing some kain blasphemous takes.

TheGoodJoe:
The team was even better when Salisu coached the team before Rohr took over.

I think people should be past defending Rohr's mediocre tactical acumen now. There are times we've gotten away with it but that is less and less frequent now and it needs to be addressed.
His schoolboy tactics/subs today is simply unforgivable.

Story for the gods. Enough is enough it’s time that we collectively learn a lesson.
Coach is owed 8 months
Players 7 months
Pitch rubbish
Coach rubbish
Players rubbish
TBH, everyone is to be blamed. If pinnick sacks Rohr, then who sacks pinnick for owing salary and rubbish pitch

The pitch was even worse in the last game yet we still won.
These excuses are not going to cut it for Rohr today. He bleeped up big time and this loss on him and only him.
He was won games against better teams than CAR under these circumstances.

chrisooblog:
I think you are on to something. When he handled the CHAN team at least I saw some measure of tactical play. No qualms getting rid of him because of corruption but the very least you can do is to hire a tactical replacement but no you go and bring Yobo who doesn't even have coaching badges ment!

Exactly bro! Pinnick put Yobo in the coaching staff and some foolish clowns supported that move and even had the nerve to suggest he takes us to 2024 WC.

Danielnino00:
The last time the super eagles won a game with Rohr's tactics was against Argentina in that friendly, and probably that AFCON game against South Africa... The man is nothing but a fraud who has been banking on the talents at his disposal to grind out results...
I dare any of his apologists to prove me wrong...

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I think the team played well when that criminal Salisu Yusuf was part of the coaching staff.
Maybe I'm overthinking things...

12large1:
The administrators that failed to pay a coach for 8 months. Which sane qualified coach will accept such nonsense? Look at the nonsense pitch for seasoned European professionals. Everyone is to be blamed TOHR inclusive

Excuses. He should've resigned then and put Pinnick to shame.
As far as TODAY'S game goes - he is 100 percent responsible for this loss. He was content with being owed/paid late initially and that didn't stop him from winning games.
This excuse doesn't fly at all.

12large1:
I totally disagree. Everyone is to blame today including administrators

The administrators told him to make the subs the made today?

charlesemeka85:
Since the team stopped playing at uyo they struggle to win matches at home

Uyo should be our official home stadium. Pinnick is a fool and hopefully this tenure is his last as NFF chairman.

12large1:
Sorry, he is just not the only one to blame. The sort of incident that happened today shouldn’t occur with seasoned professionals

He is to blame 100 percent for today. Praise the guy all you want for his "team building" - he is a 3rd rate tactician.

Abeg make Rohr fanboys pack well!! Dude has been praised when he did well and rightly criticized when he hasn't.
Today this dude was outclassed. Say what you want but CAR came with a plan which they executed perfectly.
I had a feeling they were going to score when Rohr took out Aribo and left Onyeka all alone in midfield. Musa had a decent Cameo but why play him as a 10? Why bring him into a situation where there was no space to operate?
We were there for the taking after Rohr's dumb substitutions and paid for it!!
Dude is playing 4-4-2 with the players he invited smh. We should've switched formation as soon as Iheanacho got substituted. There was no need for Awoniyi - Osimhen pairing in this game.
Rohr is obviously not going to get sacked. He'll stay till the end of the qualifiers and even AFCON. After that, we need to ask serious of not just Rohr but Pinnick and the whole NFF.

Rohr out. I'm tired. Pinnick is the worst thing to have ever happened to Nigerian football.
This is beyond any coach.

Osimhen named Serie A player of the month.

Philosopher1979:
In the last 7 years 25 billion naira has been unaccounted for it stolen by amaju punick and his cronies in nff.
This is the real problem of Nigerian football and not making some home based players face Mexico.
Corruption, bad leadership and mismanagement is the root of the problem and I'm glad at least they are been exposed

Pinnick is a criminal. Dude kept deceiving us with all those sponsorship deals while looting on the side.
I know see why the likes of Goldfish didn't like the guy.

Kog45:
Yes he is a baller but why not England or France?

Why not Algeria tbh? Pound for pound those guys are ahead of us atm.

cromz:
He is a baller and so are all the aforementioned players. He is not a special talent by any means for him to feel he can turn down Nigeria.

Continue to dey talk that one. We all know Olise would've brought a totally different dimension to our midfield.
Sha na here we dey.

Meanwhile Pinnick has been deceiving us with all these fake sponsorship deals.
In what sane world would a coach accept this nonsense?
Maigari > Pinnick ×100000000.

cromz:
Make we no dey stress on all these average English boys jare. What can oliseh play that iwobi,Ejiaria or Alhassan cannot play?

Olise is a baller! Forget all this talk.

humility33:
But Rohr should have smartly done this
Loosing him to france and England was okay not Algeria haba

We had everything at our disposal
I have always said this the best time to cap this guys is prior they hit the limelight
You entice them with call ups and first team football. You give them exception base on their prospects and how well the team needs an AM, CM etc for an example like we did with Iwobi and Maduka

Like?!?! This thing has hurt my feelings. More than Ebere Eze sef.
Big big loss for us.

Joebie:
When Algeria becomes first choice. And France second.

I no fit sleep man. This news don kill my moral finish. After all the mouth way I make with this guy

Sainty92:
Am still waiting for Olise to come out and clarify the public. If he really choose Algeria, then the agent didn't play us. Rather it was Olise that played us

His agent swayed him to play for Algeria. Then again, playing alongside Mahrez, Atal, Benhrama, Bennacer etc is more tempting than playing for us.

Looks like we've lost Olise to Algeria like Humility33 said.
How disappointing
What are we paying Rohr for sef? He should've been hounding this guy with his French connection.

humility33:
It is so painful
It's like we've lost Micheal Olise to Algeria

Just seen it. Damn this is embarrassing. His agent played us smh.

Roland17:
Watching Partey recover from that dirty tackle from Skipp to finish the game was important. You will notice opponents are now targeting Partey with some of the nastiest tackles. His conditioning is getting better with each game and this will only make his ability to recover/ withstand bad challenges improve.

Yeah my heart skipped a beat when he went down. I think missing out in Europe will be beneficial in getting him up to speed.
Let's just pray nothing bad happens in AFCON.

Jodera:
I've always advocated this.
Pepe on the left, Saka on the right Always!!!

Yep. Pepe on the left might even score a bit more.

Spy360:
Odegaard is a gift really and he can only get better with time.

Xhaka plays well with Partey, everyone does. But credit to Xhaka too.

Pepe can come from bench.

Yeah. Got to give Arteta credit. Tactics were spot on. This was Aubamayeng's best game in terms of all round play. His link up play was great!
Poor Spuds...Guess Nuno will go with a back 3 now. He has no choice lol

I hope some of y'all are seeing why we signed Odegaard. He faded off a bit in the second half but that dude is a baller!! Nice football brain he has.
Partey and Xhaka were immense! Let's hope Partey gives us 30 games this season.
Saka's should be played on the right ALWAYS.

ono:
Hahahaha Try again. You think I am one of those lazy ass readers in here, who don't listen carefully, get deceived easily by the lamestream media? For your information: I am not on Facebook. Not on Instagram. Not on Tweeter.

I am not your ordinary crazy, lazy ass modern day slave to the lamestream fools! Awon omo ole jatijati!

Lool what a lame excuse. You were watching the hearing in an alternate universe?
He didn't pull this up

ono:
Awon omo ole everywhere! Duplicate Ballots Galore!!!

Doug Logan isn't saying that...

Is this true Basilico??

TheSuperNerd:
ICYMI Shocker: Liverpool's Curtis Jones has Nigerian Heritage

Do you know before now that the talented Central Midfield player, Curtis Jones (20 yrs) has a Nigerian Father?

Nothing much is known about his dad. Only his mum, Sandra comes to mind and is known by the media. Well, Curtis' GF, a British-pakistani revealed on her tiktok that Curtis is indeed of Dual heritage. Curtis is British-Nigerian but I don't know if he strongly identifies with his Naija roots.

So now you know. CURTIS JULIAN JONES is Half British and Half Nigerian. Wonders.

Gives me Ross Barkley vibes lol

daveP:
I saw that flick. Spectacular. I really do hope AMN gets his chances. But Time. I see Xhaka starting vs Spurs no doubt. He and Laca.

And he'd definitely pull an extraordinary performance. Both of them. Hopefully, Kane no go use Ramsdale restore form.


Also for the Spurs game, I'd like a supersub situation. Saka perhaps. If those two boiz, ESR and Odegaard start, expect Spurs raking up some red card.


I hope we take due advantage of any setpiece situation. The game might be won from there.

I think Xhaka will start too but not Laca. ESR will play on the left and one of Saka/Pepe will drop to the bench.
The young boys will come in the second half to give us energy.
