Don’t mind them. Nigerians are some of the loudest and most ignorant people on the planet. Most Nigerians have no clue what life is like for an average black man in Europe or the United States.

Brendan Rogers may or may not be a racist but the point is, the man hasn’t give Kelechi a chance to stake a claim in the team. I dare him to start Kelechi in 5 consecutive games, allow him to build cohesion with his team mates and see if he can deliver.

As I have said several times before, as a black guy, you gotta be twice as good as the white guy to start. And I am speaking from experience here as well.

Is that the official line up? If so then, I will disagree with the selection. Based on the last game, Ajayi shouldn’t start in midfield again unless he intends to use his as CB. And Musa shouldn’t start either. He didn’t do much when he came on as a sub against Algeria.

And why isn’t Ebuehi starting? He was one of the best players in the field against Algeria. Unless he has a knock.

Omo, he has to use what he got. With Ndidi, Etebo, and Aribo all unavailable, what do you expect him to do? How you ever considered that maybe our team is NOT as talented or as deep as we tend to think it is?

In the 1994 team, we had a very deep bench. The same cannot be said if this team. We simply don’t have enough talent in every position. You can’t blame Rohr for that deficiency, the right players are simply not there. If they exist, we should them showing it at their clubs.


O pari

eazyjakes:
And same man picked a defender to play in the middle when he knew even his playmaker is not a natural no10. He needs to be smarter with his tactics wen he has personnel limitations and he does not have a clear cut objective for this team else whoever he plays will try n fit in to the big picture of the team! Rohr does not look like a man who does serious tactical tweaking/thinking with his team and his coaching crew before and during a game!
SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Icon79(m): 3:57pm On Oct 11, 2020
Yes, I have criticized Rohr for the game plan he used with most of games in Russia especially against Croatia. However, he actually doesn’t play that style against African oppositions.

I don’t think he was ultra defensive on Friday. The main problem we had on Friday is that they overran in the midfield. We played with a makeshift midfield and that spelled doom for our game. In addition, that team needs a playmaker. We need to work harder about getting Ebere Eze to switch. Iwobi is not a true playmaker.


O pari

eazyjakes:
While rebuilding he should play to the strength of the team and be more dynamic with his tactics...He has lots of young and skillful offensive players and yet he is ultra defensive when he comes up against good teams. We still dont know what to expect wenever his team takes to the field....that has to change!....plus not all the players westerhof met in 1989 when he first took over were part of the 94 team but he had a clear vision of the pattern of play he wanted to acheive....we want to see some consistency as there will always be change of some players as the team progresses!

Perspectives folks. We’re still in rebuilding phase unfortunately. The Core of team Rohr met when he started are no longer in the team: Mikel, VicMo, Ogu, Ideye, Enyeama, Ighalo, Onazi, etc.

O pari

eazyjakes:
That he qualified us for a world cup does not mean we should keep basking in the euphoria. We had made it to FIVE(5) other world cups before. We salute his man management skill and his pulling this team from the brink of obscurity but we want more than just playing and participating in tourney. The Algeria coach needed just a year to build an Afcon winning team and you can still see the progress they are making. This super eagles team do not have a defined playing pattern or identity after been coached by the same man for more than 4yrs now...We saw the gradual progression of the westerhof’s team that culminated in the historical 94 squad. Rohr may end up just gathering this pool of decent talent for a more tactical astute coach to design a winning formula. Peace bro!

You get liver to talk about the performance in Russia? Would the Super Eagles even have qualified for that World Cup in the first place, if not for Rohr? Where was the team before Rohr took over?

At a stage where we can’t even qualify for the AFCON on two different occasions from a group featuring the likes of Guinea! The team Rohr took over was such a hot mess that even mediocre foreign coaches were respectfully declining a chance to coach us.

Now Rohr has cleaned up the team and we’re talking about “all the talents” at his disposal. Where are the talents? How many of our boys are playing week in week out at their clubs?

Please enough of all these delusions of grandeur and realize that our players are average at best. Player to player, Algeria has a lot more talent than us.
