MetalJigsaw:
Rohr has tried for our football but he needs to be dismissed for a younger and more tactically sound and brave coach. This team with its array of very talented, young, promising and exciting players is being underutilized by the coach as far as I'm concerned. Rohr is a good coach but he's too rigid, and outdated in his tactical approach. praising your opposing team and their payers before a game does not always pan out well for the psychology and mentality of your own players. It it causes your players give unnecessary amount of respect their opponents and it also triggers fear and lack of confidence to the less experienced players of your team.

Yes it's a good thing for a coach to be humble and show respect to his opponents but the magnitude at which our dear coach dispenses it to his opponents without measure is a very bad idea. it threatens our jeopardizes any form of morale and confidence that exists in some of your players especially the less inexperienced ones. A team where you have an already jittery Akpeyi. That would surely worsen his situation.

But the problem is the new coach would most likely restart the team back to square one just like a newly refurbished laptop. I don't pray for such.

this has always been my major issue with this coach. You are spot on but will many on this forum agree? secondly don't we have principles anymore in determining whether a coach should continue or not. A coach who cannot manage games that are almost ending in a draw loosing in dying minutes. [Argentina and Algeria]. A coach who has now come out to say that his players were thinking about extra time is the reason they lost haba. And finally a coach that has failed to exceed past results of local coaches, we are still debating whether he should go. chai who did this to us. Colonial mentality is our number problem as Nigerians, I just tire

Honestly guys - in as much as we don't have great players and all - I don't think Rohr is getting the best out of this team attacking wise.
I feel there is latent attacking potential that could be unlocked with the players we have. Rohr is too Conservative for me.
I'll give him till 2022 but the way his fanboys are defending him is getting frustrating. My guy is not the new Westerhof and never will be.
Let's see what will change in the next two years.

those supporting rohr are just doing so because they afraid of local coaches but they seem not to understand that we need to plan for the long term instead of short term results. The Senegal coach is a young and local coach and they are in the finals after al their previous woes with all their fine players. We need to go local as well and give our local coaches enough time to come up with a playing culture. All this jam body and anywhere belle face we dey play to get results will not win us any title abeg

Odunayaw:
He won 2nd balls, was rarely beaten, tried to help the midfield in our own half alot.
I'd have started Aina but how are we to know things wouldn't gel.
Rohr leaves a tad of things to be desired and I still can't shake off my memory of the team during WCQ but I don't need to have divination skills to tell you we'd enter a fairly stormy phase if Rohr's gig is totally disbanded.
I don't know how it'd sound to the NFF paying another foreign [technical] assistant to Rohr, it's not like [worthy] coaches are lying fallow anyway.

these foreign coaches will not help us in the long run, we just have to tell ourselves the truth and for how long are we going to continue to waste tax payers money paying these oyibos in dollars and still they struggle to achieve what local coaches have achieved in the past. Even local coaches like Eguavoen and Amodu took us to afcon semi-finals. Rohr is unduly over favoured and I doubt he can achieve more with this team

for the first time in a long time I missed a victor moses. I must confess. mahrez was there for the algerians but we had no one today to rise to the occasion.

But i must also commend Ighalo when you consider how mane and co has been missing penalties this afcon. He did tried to get us back but we lacked a match winner which algeria had.

Its high time our ex players step up to take charge of our national team and nff should allow them. Am never sold on this foreign coaches and how long can nff continue to pay rohr 45k usd monthly.

Let us be realistic, we need to be patient with local coaches to build and rebuild all our national teams.

All this overnight success we keep looking for with foreign coaches is not working and not sustainable

Joebie:
I don't care about bronze. We want to see our second team play against Tunisia.

Yea, let us see other players

Let us stop the blame game pls. Some of us were even surprised we went pass cameroon based on what we have been playing.

For me it is about quality. We need a keeper and more midfielders

benzzyno:
And the curse of that useless dark green jersey continues..

I hate that jersey.. Some pipo go wan come lecture on how no be jersey d play... That other jersey na awa goodluck charm.

No be jersey. We were poor

icnsystem:
No sentiment..Algeria is the better team and they deserve to win...Let the best rule

I agree, with that keeper and defence, it's difficult to win titles

Congrats Nigerians, better luck next time.

klexycole:
Halftime.

Game hasn't been so good.

Why are these guys afraid of Algeria?

We are not organized.

This fear issue, why our players always scared of big names

It's difficult to win tournaments without a solid defence and a keeper!

Sportilitica:
Players that can do the damages are not getting the ball. Musa, Samu, Iwobi.

The Algerians are not sleeping nah

klexycole:
Naija guys are under pressure. Misplaced passes and miscontrolled balls.

Chukwueze has been caged.

Can he be subbed?

Even if they are given pk, dem to throw away am, awon olodo

Can this match just end pls

Joebie:
ONe thing I know for sure. Nigeria is not playing another North African country after Algeria in this tournament.

If na third place nko

Senegal and Tunisia are wack teams while senegal misses penalties during games, tunisia specialises by scoring own goals.

Truly we over criticise our own national team

Ajoboss:
bros anyone would do
Both are useless

Make we qualify first

ManBeast:

Tunisia na mumu, how did they even get so far in this afcon

No be only kicking o, 'keregbe' too follow o

Just for your info guys

This is how you beat a team well, Tunisia 3, Mad guys 0

andrew444:
Tunisia is a good team ,I already said they will beat Madagascar

Even if Tunisia is not that good as you think ,only Nigeria and Algeria have been better than them in this tournament

As far as I am concerned they are better than Senegal

Exactly my thoughts the Tunisians bring their experience to play when it matters most. It showed in their game with Ghana.

Thank you Tunisia for gang raping madagascar
