but he couldn't chew the lean Japanese striker at the WC

is strength about size or weight?

charlesemeka85:
koulibaly go chew oshimeh like toothpick

yeah, forgot his name momentarily

ChrisKels:
Besides tallness, Lukaku is the opposite of everything u wrote there, maybe younger but lanky Lukaku wasn't. All what u wrote best describes Osimhen, younger Lukaku and Baloteli of inter

Top Drog was pacy tall and strong, his strength was one of his key attributes and helped him bully defenders in the epl. Rhor wanting osimhen to be strong is for his own good, imagine Osimhen against that Senegal defender who plays for Napoli that one go pocket am na

chrisooblog:
i'm a big fan of mathematical but this is wrong especially at this time when we are in the thick of competition. ok what if rohr coaches the team to victory what will he now say?

everyone has different temperaments and coaching styles if big Seg were a coach he would know this

he'll make a bad administrator, no wonder he has never won any election

charlesemeka85:
oga there is sense in what the man said. for christ sake oshimeh is just 20 and feather weight. in african footie he will be easily muscled. he is still a young chap who is still growing and will bulk up as he matures.

i bet you that oshimeh will be easily manhandled if he is deployed as a lone striker. the madagascar match was a good fixture to test him and onyekuru but things went south in the early minutes of the game and got worst in the 2nd stanza which made the coaching crew to throw in players they believed would have atleast salvaged a point.

oshimeh and onyekuru are one for the future and the but interesting thing is they are part of the team. for rohr to take both to the competition meas he rates them high

you dey mind them, let the guy play and start falling all over the place they are still the one that will start whining

Danielnino00:
I was actually tipping the north Africans to win the tournament,given the fact that they are host.. But clearly they haven't changed...

Algeria have been very convincing, I think they are the only one who's playing like they really need the cup

Icon79:
So you reached these conclusions merely by watching just the highlighted, eh

Wow. Some of the things you read on this forum na halele sha.


O pari

he's correct though, they out played us that day especially first half

Hmmmm

charlesemeka85:
Chelsea starlet Fikayo Tomori could become the most expensive Nigerian defender in history if transfer speculations are anything to go by.

The Daily Star is reporting that Burnley are hoping to clinch a £15m deal for Tomori, who is also eligible to represent the senior national teams of Canada and England.

Should Chelsea agree to do business with The Clarets, Tomori will become the costliest defender eligible to represent Nigeria, surpassing the 12 million euros Inter Milan paid Auxerre for Taribo West in June 1997.

Tomori was loaned out to Derby County for the entirety of last season and was named the club's Player of the Year and spent the previous season at Hull City.

With Chelsea slapped with a two-window transfer ban, it is thought that the central defender is in the plans of new Blues boss Frank Lampard as he was included in the pre-season squad for games against Bohemians and St Patrick's Athletic FC this week.

Although Manuel Akanji is a Switzerland international and no longer eligible for the Super Eagles, he is the most expensive defender of Nigerian descent in history, costing Borussia Dortmund €21.5 million when he was acquired from FC Basel in 2018.

Taribo cost 12mill in 1997, mehn that's much o that guy na real quality

Humility017:
Akpeyi gaving a good account of himself?
that guy can't hold a ball...

I was surprised to watch the south Africa goal keeper yesterday...I kept asking myself if the dude play with akpeyi in south Africa...too?
then why is he exceptional....

please we still don't have a goal keeper...

If you don't win this tourney Rohr should be asked to leave us

sacked for not winning? I think that will be too harsh I think semifinal is OK

darkelf:
If Rohr had lost yesterday, would you still defend him?

I'm not saying you're wrong for defending him...not at all but I just want to know if your defense is based on yesterday's game alone.

Take note that yesterday might have gone either way

no, you didn't see me defending him prior to yesterday's game? I even felt the criticism after the Madagascar game was over the top as the match was a dead rubber

Oasis007:


Understanding before quoting is becoming rocket science on this Thread. Some of you would only rush-read and jump into conclusion straightaway. Pin point in the Post you quoted where I claimed to have seen his coaching Skills?!

Didn't I give a reason for his Suggestion?! Kindly re-read it again, edit your Response, be more matured and Understanding.

I didn't say you've seen, it's a question I asked, how did you know that Finidi will know better? You guys should cut Rhor some slack he's not been bad, you guys keep making it seem like he's been using Akpeyi as a RB the players he's been using have given a good account of themselves, he's shown he's not afraid to drop non performing players. You people should just quit whining about his tactical proficiency

Oasis007:
I will like Rohr to be retained as a Team Manager, and a Technical Adviser is hired to complement his Work. Rohr brings stability and unity to the Squad. He's well respected by the Lads on and off Field. Also he's not sitting idle off FIFA Windows, rather following up the progress and conditions of the Lads at their respective Clubs.

However, a big Concern is his tactical prowess, and conservative Nature of handling the Squad. He's bringing balance to the Squad in terms of man-management but so wack tactically. We need a reborn of Westerhof and Jo Combo to drive the Team forward.

NFF should hire a tactically sound Adviser for the Team as an Assistant to Rohr. Sanusi has nothing to offer tactically, same as Imama. I don't know much about Finidi's coaching Skills, but I believe he's making good progress in Spain with Technical knowledge of the Game.

If NFF can't afford another foreigner as a technical Adviser, then they should draft in Finidi George into the Fold.

have you seen Finidi coach before? Una just like to dey talk

semid4lyfe:
Impressive victory against a physical, skillfull and defensively solid Cameroun team.

I'll opine that we won not because of Rohr's technical brilliance but naivety and poor game management from Clarence Seedorf and the Camerounian players.

At 2-1 up, Cameroun just needed to adopt the Madagascar template. . .manage the game by sitting back, doubling down, committing more to defense, picking their passes & attacks and hitting on the counter.

I was surprised when the 2nd half resumed and Cameroun came all gung-ho looking for a 3rd goal. Immediately, I saw this approach, I was happy and said to myself, 'we fit equalise and win this game".

Playing an open game, pressing and committing men forward against the present Super Eagles is suicidal. African teams that have beaten us in recent times have done it on the back foot. Think South Africa & Madagascar.

Clarence Seedorf is a brave coach but he needs to know when to adopt attacking and defensive tactics.

Now back to the Super Eagles. . . .Despite the victory, I dare say the best game we've played in this tournament was against Guinea. In fact, Nigeria-Guinea is the best game play I've seen from the team in a long while.

Still, I'll take a victory anyhow it comes.

Congrats to the Super Eagles, Nigerians and Nigeria.

didn't see this Cameroon game, but we played very well against guinea, they barely had the ball we harassed and chased them when they had the ball, defensively we were near perfect I think we should go for that CB pairing again in our next game unless we'll be playing 3 @ the back

Lol

See how high a skreppy coach like Amodu is on the board. *Spits*

Ahn ahn, that's harsh. He qualified us for two world cups gave us two Afcon bronze

jihday:
it was semi final, that first goal is still the fastest goal scored in an Afcon tourney, I remember JayJay was suspended for the tie that's why Tijani started and he ended up scoring twice, I think the second goal too was scored first minute of the second half

My bad, seen the highlight it was two first half goals

tbaba1234:
Egypt depends too much on Salah. Cut him off and they can't do much.

Even their previous coach, Hector Cupper same tactics

Triniti:
I remember that game like yesterday. One of the fastest eagles opening goal in a match, that year when I was crazy about the Super Eagles. How my passion for football waned off still amazes me till today

I think it's almost general, club football and years of dour disappointing football made people fall out of love with the eagles. I remember the final against Cameroon, Sunday evening after the second goal went in you'll think na thunder, the noise that enveloped my street was crazy that was when people put TV powered by car battery outside to watch matches for free, come and see tears after we lost that game, still our most painful defeat

Jarus:
I just closed from extra mural class in SS3 on my way home to watch the game (around my secondary school staff quarters) when I heard shout of first goal.

Before then, SA had a good tournament in 96 and 98 when Nigeria did not feature and there was a debate on whether they would have gone that far if Nigeria featured and they began to see themselves as Nigeria's rivals.

We returned in 2000 and we met in QF (or was it semi sef?) and that game settled the matter.

Admittedly, SA had very good players in that generation.

Cameroun is Nigeria's traditional rival although Ghana also see themselves as Nigeria's rival. We don't pay attention to them like we do to Cameroun.

Ghanaians take games against Nigeria personal. Even friendlies. See the way Thomas Partey was playing in that game between ATletico Madrid and Nigeria's Super Eagles B. Every game against Nigeria is personal to Ghanaians.

it was semi final, that first goal is still the fastest goal scored in an Afcon tourney, I remember JayJay was suspended for the tie that's why Tijani started and he ended up scoring twice, I think the second goal too was scored first minute of the second half

IronGalaxy:
now we need to fry an eagle

we need to flog some boys

Lol

nairalandankrah:
Nigeria deserve better than Rohr.
The Nigeria manager’s time is up.
With a bunch of young, hungry and talented players at his disposal, the former Niger
Republic coach has failed to deliver the good football the team is capable of.
After three years at the helm, Rohr’s team still lacks cohesion and is devoid of
tactical discipline. The round of qualifiers for the 2022 FIFA World Cup is around the
corner and a competent, world-class manager who can take this beautiful team to
the next level should be in charge.

Call Arsene Wenger to come and take over, I'm sure you'll be able to pay his bills

breezy147:
Who are we likely to meet if we beat SA?

Senegal/benin

Goke7:
So? We no dey get bp like this those days o talkless of madagascar using us to fry boli

In his first afcon we lost to Algeria 5-1

tbaba1234:
You sack Rohr and hire who

How many quality coaches can handle Nigeria with all of our wahala?

Amunike

Haters can kiss his old a55

darkelf:
\

Hence the reason for my Judgement

that doesn't mean we were poor and that's not the coach's fault in fact if we were solid today the way we were against Guinea, Cameroon for chop reach 4

elyte89:
Please give d coach a thumbs up on dis

We won...so he takes all d praises,when we lost against mad,we sabi wetin una talk abt our coach o.cut rohr some slacks abeg.he deserve all d praise tonight


Meanwhile let's focus on our potential opponent #EGY vs RSA

it's sick of people saying not tactics but grit that got us the victory, as long as we make semi I want NFF to extend his deal to Qatar 2022 if you dey vex stop supporting the eagles

Humility017:
if you've watched that under 23 coach talk..you will get to know that he is another Rohr in a dark skin....

sanusi yusuf was tactical better from the chan team I saw him handle oooh.
but him accepting bribe is way of the mark

Sanusi that lost Chan final by 4 goals? I'm quite sure Rhor can't loose a game by such margin

darkelf:
Let me correct your assertion.

I didn't single out Ighalo. I blamed the entire team except Ndidi. And truthfully they were below average during the first two matches and poor against Madagascar

you are wrong, they were good against Guinea, only if we had taken our chances

darkelf:
Don't be so sure about that.

Any team to remove a host nation as Egypt from this tournament should be respected and not underrated

even if we want to play your village team you'll tip them to beat the eagles, I trust you
