Tolulopefinest:
Today's lineup. (owngoalnigeria finally leaked it out just now)

3-5-2

Okoye

Awaziem Ekong Balogun

Simon Onyeka Aribo Collins

Iheanacho

Musa Osimhen

if this lineup is true, then I’m shocked he dropped Ejuke and left Simon

JohnBullMySon:
Well.... He doesn't need any tactician, if really he needs one, then he needs a sack even more. However, I still don't think Rohr deserves a sack at this stage. He has delivered some shocking results of recent, but has not been on a string of bad performances at all.

Expect Nigeria to still come back to calmly defeat CAR today. Apart from Algeria, Africa top guns haven't even filled weaker opposition with goals,the way we have. Only thing is that he should never lose against a lowly rated team ever again abeg. It comes with a lot of shame.

However, Pinnick should getat ASAP. I watched his last speech and gave up on him.

once is happenstance twice coincidence thrice is a trend. First Madagascar then Sierra Leone now motor car not forgetting we struggled to beat Benin both home and away. Boss it’s clear the coach have run his race

Kog45:
Bro leave those guys alone and let's face our own qualifications that is not even sure.

Egbon that match vex you gaan o

Danielnino00:
Akpogunma for Aina.. Musa for Ejuke... Okoye for Uzoho

I’m predicting Musa for Simon

Clint02:
Does anyone knows how Rohr will likely approach this game,how will he set the team for this game?...
Or he will just tell the players "Go there and show them what you are made of"

I think he said there will be about 2-3 changes in the team

CornOak:
In one of the wins, his opponent came into the ring and left immediately the starting bell rang.

It was counted as victory for him.

Nevertheless, he's a decent fighter and still coming up.

I remember that incident, I think he left just to spite his promoter or so. Ajagba have a lot of learning to do

Ppogbae:
Ajagba is such a poor fighter. No head movement, slow punching and no punching output. Just no sense of urgency.

was shocked to see this is his first defeat, must have been fighting some bunch of high school students before now

ChrisKels:
This is a very stupid thing to say. How would you leave the clueless one as the head coach, then assign the role of assistant to the tactician? Lol no wonder Buhari is our president while a professor is his deputy. The mentality of an average Nigerian is sickening

I’ve always found this ‘hire a tactician for him’ confusing, if he can’t do the job sack him and hire someone who can. No be him family chieftaincy title na

drDoom3:
Personally, I would even prefer Oliseh back. When he was coach then, the environment and hostility from NFF was too much. That was the reason for all the controversy we had with him. One thing I am confident about Oliseh is that he will not sit down and watch Nigeria lose to CAR in Lagos just like that without screaming down the players at the touchline. He is someone that can fight and die for his country. I will always prefer a coach with personal attachments to the club or country over coaches who just collect salaries and are satisfied with mediocre resuts as long as they get to keep their jobs and salaries.

Nigerians truly have short memory, God forbid Oliseh becomes our coach. His tenure was very toxic, oliseh started a player physically unfit, it was so bad that the player had to be removed before half time. Abeg make una talk another thing

elyte89:
No philosophy whatsoever, rohr is just a basic coach who understand d normal rudiments of d game,just like u and I....everyoda person here can do d job rohr is doing @ d moment.

The technicality aspect; to read games,change playing patterns to edge opp,make nice substitution is what rohr lacks

I doubt if d car team can beat a well tutored high school team

they can’t beat akwa United

JohnBullMySon:
Na tomorrow we go know if all this pitch talk na really true.

But seriously how does Cameroun manage to have this kind of pitch and Nigeria is still parading an inter house sports pitch upandan

they are preparing for Afcon, they just built new stadia and renovated existing ones

samtol4:
Why should Moses Simon benched Samuel Kalu?

why does kalu deserve to play?

minfelix:
Algeria will beat that Saudi team

I bet you’d have said same about Egypt prior to their meeting in 2018

Ppogbae:
Nepotism and personal favors. Someone with no club. An unemployed footballer. Can you imagine?

you didn’t even bother to verify the news, nawa

daveP:
until dem jam Japan for group stage and colet. I dunno how Nigeria does it despite all these abysmal displays, but they seem to do better at WC than other African teams. I really hope Algeria reps well tho.


The days of
jabo jabo jabo jabo
Jabo, Tunisia lo ma jabo

Is fresh in memory. I hope it doesn't get to that. This set are too too talented to be wasted and waiting for another 4years.

this same Algeria managed to draw Mexico second team

typicalgamer:
Since he won’t be training the players week in and week out, it’ll be hard for a new coach to drop his philosophy on the players

we have 2 games left in this qualifying series plus Afcon, he’s coming to coach professional footballers not U-17 players, by the time Afcon start the players would have had a better understanding of his tactics

elyte89:
Y is it too late...like as if his stay would guarantee us a 2nd round @ d world cup or an afcon title

[b]Forget DT one...let's go for Wenger... He might b interested [/b]

I agree with you, if not wenger an A-list but semiretired coach may be interested like Guus Hiddink Lippi even Mark Hughes

Joebie:
Meet the unknown Karl Namnganda, of C.A.R, who plays for French fourth tier side Vendee les Herbiers. Nobody is talking about his brilliance ghosting past our Oyibo wall to upset us in Lagos. He is certainly underrated. If not for his brilliance we would have taken one point going into Sunday's game. All hail the underrated Osimhen of C.A.R . At 25 he is definitely a late bloomer. Hopefully he makes it to Ligue 1 someday.

I don die , even in the 4th tier na still rubbish player

Kog45:
Okoye in goal?I remember he was in goal against Sierra Leone and did anybody blame him for the 4 goals.

yep, chop enough blame

Kog45:
That saved alone showed that the guy is better than Okoye

I’m just happy it wasn’t Okoye in goal, I can only imagine what y’all will be saying if he was the one in goal

edi287:
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.

the only reason why he may not get the boot is because of the financial implications but if we don’t act now we stand to loose so much more on the long run

elyte89:


For d pro rohrs,I don't knw aw u want to sound reasonable trying to defend rohr..u will end up sounding stupid irrespective of d epistle u intend writing

Dis is a team ranked outside 1-100th

Firstly against Sierra Leone now car,maybe next will b Djibouti or Pakistan,b4 we realize dt rohr is a rohrng coach

Can dey just sack him now please..dt shld b d next news...don't worry,d incoming interim coach will get it done cc..smartsmith097 message dis to oga pinnick

anybody trying to defend Rohr be like person trying to defend Buhari, you’ll sound really stupid and incoherent

elyte89:
Olohun yo e...u 4 chop cane tonight

lmao, the moment I saw Musa trying to come in I just went to bed

elyte89:
I am only waiting for charlesemeka,jihday and thesupernerd;d chief supporter of our coach to give deir verdict

Dey re real pro rohr

it is irredeemable again

quickberry:
Yekini played at d 98 world cup. His competitors were Yekini, Amokachi and Akpoborie

Yekini didn’t even play qualifiers for 98 World Cup, Akpoborie was always in and out of the team, Amokachi wasn’t really a competitor because they played together sometimes like the bulgaria game in 98

IDENNAA:
He played as a striker but was mostly overshadowed by the cult presence of Yekini. Amokachi and Siasia were also playing at their very best , and competition was stiff. The quality of players we had when Ikpeba was playing for Nigeria is very superior to current ones.

ikpeba became an eagle around 94/95 while Siasia and Yekini retired in 94. So I ask again who were his competitors?

forgiveness:
What a myopic fellow!

Ali, Akpogume, Ebuehi, Kingsley, Eze, Lookman, etc were all first mentioned by me here.

Now, are they existing or you are not existing in this world to be oblivion to it?

What a timid shallow minded bigot.

he was actually praising you for it

Throwback Thursday Series: Osimhen's First Professional senior Goal.... the Beginning of a walk to Greatness - smiley20 (Bonus part - The Video of the goal).

In honor of this post... and knowing that many didn't get to see that goal 3 yrs ago and even till now, I repost it here again.

Check from 2.51.... watch the build up to that goal and the goal itself and you will understand why Basco called it the most beautiful goal you will see going back to September 22, 2018.

This is to many more goals to come from our lad. Our number 1 Striker and also to wishing our darling Super Eagles the best of the very best in today's encounter with C.A.R.

Na we dey here!

this is what happens when your coach and team have full confidence in you

AndSunGorilla:
I so much love Taiwo Awoniyi now, very well grounded!!! Left ome to be by himself at a very young age, whatever his challenges, he is still a star but the boy is extremely humble and also religious. Kog45 I am really impressed, I pray that the boy will become highly successful I'm his career.

very religious, they actually call him pastor

solonnachi:
It seems Maduka Okoye has been replaced for today's game with Francis Uzoho.

yes, according to Collin Udoh, Rohr said he’ll be punished for coming late

forgiveness:
Why was Messi included then? I don’t have power to argue again.

because he was the best player at the copa America that was played about 3 months ago, scored a hat trick for Argentina last month what else do you want him to do?

Paul Bassey of AkwaUnitedon losing NPFL players at end of season: “You pay a player N600K to N1m and a club in Europe or North Africa offers him $10 000, how do you stop him?”
