Football education is a key definition of how a coach's mentality is shaped.

don’t think so, graham porter is a good example, played for a bunch of lower league clubs but his team play so well. I’m certain if he has that Arsenal team he’ll do better than that nonsense Arteta is doing

femianski:
Same goes to Arteta

yep another bang average manager just hired him because he dey carry laptop for Pep

TheGoodJoe:


How can you call Koeman a crap manager. Did you watch his Ajax team with Sneijder, Van Der Vaart, Zlatan and Steven Pienaar.

Having a difficult time is normal in football but that does not make a tactician crap.

Diego Simeone got River Plate relegated. Does that make him crap. Your tactical history is a testament.

How do you think Pedri and Gavi blew in the scene?

Do you know Koeman's history?

Deboer is the crap Koeman is average, I know all about Koeman and the only reason he got the Barca job is because ‘former player’ and the only reason he hasn’t been fired is because sapa hold Barca. No sensible big club will hire him, do you think it’s by coincidence his previous two clubs are Everton and Southampton where he was sacked after dreadful results ?

If there’s any local coach that deserves any form of praise it is Samson Siasia, he has done soooo much for our football. He showed us 2005 wasn’t a fluke by doing it again in 2008 and 2016. Amunike couldn’t even qualify us for the African U-20 tourney by losing to Sudan in Nigeria, how is that different from Rohr loosing to car?

TheGoodJoe:


Tell me how Rohr is tactically better when you guys are up and down screaming for a tactician to support Rohr.

In your statement, you literally said nothing, that is why you had to pay it with you want to hear word.

Very simple brief, Amunike played and trained under the La Masia tactical system. A coach with versed knowledge of the most superior tactical art in the game today.

Despite that, Amunike kept building his tactical knowledge with repeated courses.

There is a reason why FIFA made him one of the members of their technical committee for the growth of football.

Even Rohr knows he is not Amunike's mate tactics.

this man here trained at Lamasia, Deboer played for Barca Ajax and Holland, all 3 are proponents of total football but he’s a crap manager. A good coach have little to do with where he received his football education

TheGoodJoe:
With all the CV, Roohr lacks behind tactically and in knowledge of players and you know it.

we can only go back and forth on that, there’s no definite evidence to back up that claim. My own is when the NFF want to replace the German they should get the best and not get emotional by willingly giving the job to an ex international

TheGoodJoe:

Nigeria is a country you are good at something and people do not like you for that.

If we want to go on pure merit, Rohr cannot compete with Amunike in coaching.

how boss man? Rohr have a better CV sir

charlesemeka85:
that is the reason they find it difficult getting jobs outside the shores of 9ja

local coaches I respect till date is the late Christian chukwu and onigbinde

na you kill Christian chukwu?

jihday:
Ekong have drop new video, lemme quickly go and watch

noticed he calls omeruo Uncle K

Ekong have drop new video, lemme quickly go and watch

Kog45:
I got your point and mind you i rate foreign coaches ahead of our own but talking shit of our own just damn too much here.

Iheanacho was dropped for poor goal scoring with national team and Onuachu was banging goals for national team then abi?

My man I will never dropped Iheanacho with suoerb goals ratio with eagles then for Onuachu and tell me what Onuachu played at afcon.

Why Rohr not gamble with Iheanacho.This was one of the decisions that make me zero my mind on Rohr.

Westerhof gambled with Amuneke against Zambia afcon 94 final and it paid off

Westerhof gamble with Rufai at Afcon 94

Bonfrere Jo gamble with Tijani against South Africa Afcon 2000 semis.

Bonfrere Jo took unfit Amuneke to Atlanta 96 cos he knew what he can do and what happened in the final he scored the winning goal.

i rate Iheanacho higly when it comes to goal conversion.Iheanacho will never missed those Osimehn chances against CAR in Yaounde.

Onuachu scored in a friendly against Egypt few weeks before the tournament plus his club form was decent it would have been unfair to drop him for Kelechi

Kog45:
Bro this is more reason I respect Westerhof...Clemens will never dropped Iheanacho for Onuachu at that period.

My man Westerhof let me realized that there are national team player and he know how to psych them up even if they are not playing regularly for their clubs.

even for NT Nacho’s form had seriously dipped , didn’t score in about a year. I bet you Westerhof would have dropped him quickly

Them Tony Harris people. Stories about how Gabriel Reuben made the 2014 WC squad are still fresh in my memory.

Ahead of a 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, erstwhile Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi named a squad featuring a few new faces. While most observers were pleased and eager to catch a glimpse of the likes of Kingsley Madu, William Troost-Ekong and Anderson Esiti (quite the mixed bag of debutants, considering what has come after), there was consternation over the inclusion of little-known 19-year-old forward Okechukwu Gabriel.

Now, the apoplexy was entirely justifiable, and on its heels suspicion quickly followed. Water FC is an academy run by CEO Nureni Makanjuola, a FIFA and NFF-licensed football intermediary who doubled as the agent of former international Michael Babatunde. It will be recalled that Babatunde, who is now unattached, was a surprise inclusion in the Super Eagles squad to the 2014 World Cup and emerged as a key player, starting two of Nigeria’s four matches in Brazil.

Broda Jihday no be me write am ooo,
read my last paragraph again abeg

oh, sorry sir

do4luv14:
Nigerian fans are good at forcing their experience players into retirement. They did it to JJ, Kanu, Oruma, Mikel and a hosts of others, infact currently they're on Ahmed Musa's case. People wey get mind wan force Iwobi into international wilderness as if there's a replacement for him, thank God that Tokumbo CAR open their eyes inside Teslim Balogun stadium.


guys how in see this comment, from naijafootballers facebook

forced JJ and Kanu into retirement? You surely don’t know what you are saying sir

Indeed, Africa is a country.

This is unacceptable. pic.twitter.com/x86nhj32H8

This is really embarrassing

chrisooblog:
Onuachu to Atletico Madrid rumours reports say it could happen in January next year. Ndidi to Manchester United rumours also gathering momentum.

lol

samtol4:
hahaha against CAR? It was not convincing

it was, our keeper was on holiday throughout, they barely entered our box, games don’t get more comfortable than that

minfelix:
As it stands the top 5 African teams are leading their respective groups
Senegal
Tunisia
Algeria
Morocco
Nigeria

One out of these 5teams will miss out on the WC fiesta, to be upset by any of the following below
CIV/Cameroon
SA/Ghana
Mali/Uganda
Tanzania/Benin
Egypt/Libya
That's my prediction, the draws will give us clear picture on which top 5 team possible be upset

It's high time FIFA start considering 3more slots to Africa...wetin una feel

from 2026 Africa will have 8 slots

Joebie:
It's not pessimism. Please tell me one game we have not struggled in since the start of this qualifying series.
Not two, just one that we won CONVINCINGLY. You just want to start another debate

Modified
Likewise, from what you and I have seen, there is no African team that should be afraid of us

Liberia and CAR games were comfortable victories

AndSunGorilla:
You know when all those minnows face Nigeria, that's when their bones become strong. I would honestly prefer the Liberia game at a neutral venue instead of going to Liberia to play the game. The Cape Verde 2nd leg would be interesting for sure with a lot at stake for both sides.

Liberia play their home games in Ghana

forgiveness:
Play for a big club, win CAF highest scorer etc

lol

Joebie:
so nobody will ever tag Rorh era an era we didn't have to dust our calculators.

still 2 games left, we ahead of the next team by 2pts why should anybody start calculating?

charlesemeka85:
when they were in the 3rd abi second tier of Spanish football?

because he helped them promote from tier 3 to tier 2

Elnino9:
Ejuke man of the match biko

Aribo is clear

Stormtrooper11:
Unpopular OPINION

Osimhen is hyped

yeah, after PSG’s last game where Messi couldn’t get either a goal or assist I was convinced he’s just being overhyped

Danielnino00:
Dem don overuse that pitch...CAR and Liberia are using it for their home games...

Liberia uses Ghana

Why car people dey vex?

Aribo and Balogun best players of this half

AndSunGorilla:
They are playing to instructions, na u be coach?

fair play to the coach we eventually scored from it

Can we just stop these long balls

Tolulopefinest:
