Of course Rohr is not hiding anything. People are just saying this to console and give themselves hope.
The man said after the Congo game that we will see a better team in Wembley against England, claiming the Adokie stadium turf was the cause of his team's poor play. We all saw how shockingly dross the team was against England. Today against Czech, he listened to Nigerians and dropped Onazi and Joel Obi, still same old story.
People just want to hang on to to something.
Dont deny them that

our matches against england and czech republic is a true reflection of what our display will be at the world cup, Except this team score goals in Russia, we aren't going anywhere cos we will surely concede

forgiveness:
Do you think Rohr doesn't know his best first eleven and best formation?

I don't think so.

I wish rohr the best, however he should just ask westerhof for advice from experience what to do if gbege shele for world cup

Certitude:
This is when I like your theory. I wish it's true but na still theory.

pls be nice nah

I think u all are overreacting a lil bit, Nigeria is not the best team in Africa based on Fifa rankings, we used average players to qualify for the World cup from a difficult group so this raised expectations, after beating Argentina 4-2 and beating Poland 1-0, the nigerian optimism went through the roof.

Everyone should understand that, these are friendly matches, sometimes players don't give their all in these kind of matches so that they won't get injuries and miss the world cup, that being said, Nigeria doesn't have a brilliant team so shouldn't be expected to win these matches or any of their matches against Croatia, Iceland and Argentina because we are the worst team in the group. Germany the world champions haven't won any of their last 5 matches and they are not losing any sleep over it, why? Because it's friendly matches, it's meant for experimentation. I think Nigeria will play better in the world cup but still it might not be good enough to get them out of a difficult group, we should lower our expectations about this super eagles team and hope that we get lucky and get some winning shock results in the world cup in Russia.

You know how many times Germany has won the world cup? They are even defending champions so why will they loose sleep, for wetin?

forgiveness:
Although, I don't agree with Rohr on certain things but I can see what he is doing to our rivals.

He has confused them so far and they will be surprised when we play dem because now Rohr has made team believe in illusion about the team formation and team selection.

I like that but I don't see what some players will to the team.

Anyway, that's a good one coming from Rohr. The first victim will be Croatia.

We lack technical depth, even if we come out the group, what will happen if we meet Denmark or France in the second round

Martz101:
we lost against germany and was beating well by holland in 1994 and Spain thought it will be smooth ride and got the shock of there life in 1998.

hopeful we can beat croatia on 16th

And what happened against Denmark? We talk as if we got to the semi final in 98 by beating spain

Icon4s:
I read this post and laughed.

Boys wey dey play safe.

Una go see naa.

We played safe against Serbia, right?

seekier:
Hmmmn at least Steven Keshi was playing draw, this oyibo man na loser

Until any Nigerian team gets to the quarter final of the world cup, keshi remains our best coach ever

Wishing rohr and the team all the best.

safarigirl:
So, this is the last game I get to see these children and dem dey play this kain thing?

Ndi anumanu!

our last two matches before the world cup are a true reflection of what we will play at the world cup.

Edopesin:
Jesus moses

What a blasphemous collabo

Iwobi playing deep, my belle o

Bolowolowo:
Ebuehi is coming in

Is it a crime for him to start?

Mikel need to step up his leadership role

I hope rohr knows he won't be having the luxury of changing 5 players in a game at the world cup. I rest my case

goldfish80:
Keshi's team wasn't this bad but we gave them a hell lot of stick.

True

No comments until after the match

kennysville:
While i tend to love ur analysis, I wanna set the records straight as I have said before. Unfortunately the truth of the matter doesnt sit well with some folks in here. And that is the fact that Moses is untouchable no matter what kind of formation we play. Lemme say I notice we play 2major formations with one of them bein variations of 4-3-3. However as we all have noticed, a particular formation suits VicMo very well but as we all noticed, has not been productive against formidable opposition. 3-5-2 on the other hand thrives on sleek passing and good movement of the ball which quite frankly, our dearest WMD doesnt do well with owing to his ball hogging. A lot of people have noticed this a long time ago and they voiced it out.

Well, I dont have any slack to cut him cos he is in a good fit. Super eagles have been before MOSES and will surely still be after him. There will always be life after Moses! You dont believe me, ask Enyeama!

That said, no one hates or dislikes moses. But what I would really detest is a woulda been , shoulda been , coulda been a goal chances which we get to lose because somebody wants to be super star. I dont doubt his abilities. I am for the well being of the team. We are not the Argentine team that cant do anything without Messi. We are the Super 'freakin' Eagles of Nigeria dammit!!!

Shikena!

@the bolded, crux of the matter! the same ball hogging okocaha did in his days and we were trounced 4-1 by Denmark. A word they say is enough for the wise.

safarigirl:
they are talking as if we are trying to remove Victor Moses from the team when some of us are only saying he should start from the bench

Is Moses too big to start from the bench? If Mikel can be benched in some matches, mbok, who is Moses?

To them moses must always start our games as if we have not won games without him, anyway the next four matches, starting from today thru our 3 group matches in the world cup will tell how much these players are willing to play for the team.

forgiveness:
I thought you said Victor Moses na pass glory?

You are confusing and contradicting yourself. Professsor controversy.

you just like being controversial and diversionary, let the players do the talking on the pitch and we take it from there, I don't dwell in yesterday like you

safarigirl:
did Neymar start the game against Croatia?

help me ask am o!

comodo:
Still remembers when Obi Mikel was called SLOWBIE, the slowest thing after snail.
Omeruo was called a disaster waiting to happen.
Shehu was hailed as a rock of RB.
The heroes have turned to villains & vice versa.
Please pipu, we should always stand with our team. Enough of this pull him down thing.

no nigerian player has received the sticks especially on nairaland more than mikel, the sticks on onazi is still a very far cry compared to that of mikel. It however behoves on nigerian players to rise to the occasion when necessary as a lot of investment goes into the SE. This present team has so far received the best support ever from both govt and the private sector so there will be no excuse for any player whether he is fasting or or has not eaten at all for a year to go and fumble at the world cup.

lexyman:
Against England his touches were not bad , he didn't get enough supplies , but we want more from him , the presence of Ndidi today will give that team balance and Mikel will be mobile to give Iwobi the short passes , i think they re getting to understand them selves better .

that is my point

forgiveness:
Which year was the one Victor Moses singlehandedly won the match against Poland when caused and scored a penalty?

Remind me, I have forgotten. Maybe 1918?

Mr controversy, let's not be in a hurry, the world cup is already here, cos we have played matches after the Poland game

MetalJigsaw:
Because DeM win na.

oh you dey beef

MetalJigsaw:
Moses collect ur wife? so if u be coach u will bench player like Moses. I swear u will get sacked.

you wan pour more fuel into fire abi,? continue, am sure when rohr benches players like onazi and joel obi, he will also get sacked too. is not demystifying that after all the praises sang by different choir on this thread about Joel obi, suddenly folks are ready to help him pack his bag away from the team, mhen it can happen to any player, is moses is a god that cannot the dethroned, abeg be objective for once.

krattoss:
I prophesize that after today's match, vic Moses haters I'll be humble

And I will remind them to sit down and be humbke

Amen!

tbaba1234:
What i want to see against Czech

1. Faster start
2. A goal or two for Ighalo, he needs a confidence boosting goal.
3. Better performance from Shehu...
4. A clean sheet

true or he sits on the bench, enough of trial and error, I love the guy but it's reality time, the match against England and the match we will play today will be a true reflection of what we will show case at the world cup

Truidstar:
I have challenged some posters in here and I lay the same challenge to you. Go and watch Croatia play for 90 minutes and you will know how important moses is and will be In our match against Croatia.

It's not how important, but what he will play as if it's not the same moses that disappeared against Iran in 2014. We all await the croatia match

forgiveness:
2017 wey Victor Moses scored almost a solo goal against Algeria na pass glory?

2017 wey Victor Moses initiated a counter attack and scored against Cameroon, na pass glory?

2017 wey Victor Moses dribble players commot for road to free Shehu who had all the time to give Iwobi the pass that led to the only goal against Zambia in Uyo, na pass glory?

Oga, I don't think you watched those matches.

yes I did not watch them but I will watch the ones in 2018

LieDetector:
it is not about opposition. Check the team that tore Argentina to shreds in the second half, they haven't played together ever since.


Uzoho

Ekong Omeruo Awaziem

Ebuehi Ndidi Mikel Ogu Idowu

Iwobi Iheanacho

a very mobile attack, one touch, no time wasting, no yeye dribbling but goals

Kog45:
Sir am talking football not arguing.

He failed in 2014 but a gladiator in 2017/2018 WC qualifier.

Sir nothing will happen against Croatia than Nigeria winning with good performance from our players inclusive Victor Moses.

Amen
