Toylove:
Mental strength and character won us this game...
Rohr is still crap tho....I repeat, ZERO tactical know how

yen yen yen, imagine when y'all were saying iwobi out by half time, he had took him out brought in Ogu moved Etebo forward then we fail to create any meaningful chance with Cameroon using pace to slice Ogu in the midfield maybe you for get energy to type mental strength bla bla bla

darkelf:
Thank God they prove me wrong

But it isn't yet Uhuru

The next round would be tougher regardless of who we meet.

I'm still not sold on Rohr. He still needs to leave.

We won purely on grit not necessarily tactics.

Thus the boys should receive the eulogies and not the coach

but when we lost to Madagascar due to individual errors by players who received the flak? please give praise to the coach

mank1234:
We are here. I'm sure you would have been on our side had Cameroon won

but we believed they wouldn't win while you guys didn't that's the difference

Olulong:
really painful.

Our worst AFCON in recent memories.

D fact dat it was Ghana made it so so painful.

we were 1-0 and 1 man up how could we loose such a game

Odunayaw:
Agogo made me sad that day. The sadness even surpass when we lost 2005 u20 to argies

Berti Vogt is the real white Onigbinde

darkelf:
Shebi I warn una
And I hoped they would prove me wrong
Its Sad really

you are pathetic tho

ChrisKels:
This is looking like Nigeria's worst outing in an AFCON tourney

in recent memory nothing beat 2008

Odunayaw:
Jide, you wan tell me say you no know say Na the line up wey go comot be this?

was looking forward to 3 at the back with Simon at RWB and not Awaziem, still think we'll beat them tho as long as there's no individual mistake and we take our chances

Drtega:
Shehu is back

he's not

ChrisKels:
Senegal won and the noise suddenly died down. In a bid to belittle Cameroun, and at the same time, defend the awful display Eagles have been serving us in this tourney so far, y'all were predicting a lose for Senegal just because Morroco was unfortunate. So why is everybody quiet now?

Truidstar, icon4s et al

but the truth is Morocco have been poor all tournament long, even Senegal haven't really impressed

somehow:
With Iwobi in all the 3 matches, how many goals have we scored? So much for creativity.

Let Etebo play 10 for at least 45mins. He has done it before under Siasia and we harvested goals. He's also a good shots taker

lol, you want to use a crucial game to experiment, Bros no be friendly o no time to be testing what have not been tested in a long time

TheSuperNerd:
Ahead of #NGACAM on Saturday.

- Jamilu Collins will return.

- Aina will return to RB.

- Mikel ruled out. Expect the midfield that finished the burundi game and the one that started the Guinea game.

- Omeruo returns to the heart of defence. Ekong and Balogun battling for the other spot. Balogun may likely edge it.

- Akpeyi returns to try continue his clean sheet.

- On the attack.... Thoughts later.

I think Rhor will go for 3-5-2 with Aina and Simon manning the flanks not sure he'll want to use Collins

Danielnino00:
The seeding for 2021 AFCON is out

Nawa for CAF..

not for the tourney itself but the qualifiers

Joebie:
Can we get Dunga?

what's the difference between Dunga and Rhor?

ChrisKels:
I loved the no. 11, Pius Ndiefi. I have never seen a player more handsome and tall, though our own Simon Moses is giving him a run for his money.

Ndiefi was very quick and rugged then, to me then, Ikedia, though headless, was our own version. Same surname, height, agility et al

lol, you are so correct with the ikedia comparison

Throw back to 2002 AFCON: when you have AFCON match by 2 and a basketball match by 5

forgiveness:
When did Rohr say "we don't have striker good enough" to the media?

thank you for pointing this out, some of these stories are just figment of some journalist imagination

Humility017:
he did that for Ebuehi to aid his recovery
same for Uzoho and who else...

but I am talking of bringing in this lads abilities they're lacking to bring to the table...

you can help bring out this qualities in the team like a good F. taker, Make Iwobi grow confidence and abilities to shot and score from afar...

and also help chuks develop a good end products for his display in the long run...

and even help Etebo improve with his passing etc...

you can let this players know this politely, encourage them and also help them to outshine these weakness

you don't have a point, if a player doesn't have it there's nothing anybody can do, Iwobi worked with wenger for about 3yrs we no see the qualities you are talking about, do you know in a normal non-tournament year, the total number of matches an African team will play may not even be up to 5? so what improvement do you want the coach to give? if your club no fit help you no be for national team you go get am, once there's somebody that can do it better than you you go shift go one side, you can check Bryan Idowu, Iheanacho, Ogude etc as examples

andrew444:
Thank you ighalo maybe you should retire from international football ,how dare you clash with the coach ?

As for balogun what is he feeling like na because him be oyinbo abi?

Anyway I hope this news is not true

take that news like a pinch of salt

tbaba1234 have been absent for a while now, hope all is well

forgiveness:
To start with, What has your forefathers achieved that gave you the temerity to call the whole South West fools?

please ignore he's just a bored and bitter soul

forgiveness:
Cameroon team is not that good.

too risky to start him what if he develops cold feet and flop his lines? that's how his young career will die

ChrisKels:
Look who dey make mouth . This anywhere-bele-face striker? Lwkmd oo

lol, I actually posted it because of you, I know say you must yab am

Icon4s:
Tire for wetin? Na naija we dey. We swim and sink with the Super Eagles. No coach can get me disinterested in any of our national teams at any level.

Coaches come, coaches go but we the fans remain. We have seen a lot in Nigerian football to let Rohr get us disinterested.

please tell them o, under Amodu of blessed memory, the style of play was worse than this but we still reach semifinal both times, we still watched and supported the team

Icon4s:
Who else has noticed that TheGoodJoe doesn't discuss the Super Eagles any more.

since na, I think it was before the world cup sef

My boys are charged up

elyte89:
Sia1 ,but with strict monitoring, d guy is good

Dts I only coach I feel its better even dan d late keshi


Bar nepotism, d guy is good

yes he's good, but I think the defensive side of his game is poor like the typical Nigerian coach, we'll start conceding some very poor goals and you go dey get high bp when we want to defend setpieces, also I don't see the NFF giving him the job again after what happened the previous times not sure they'll want to risk it

TheSuperNerd:
Lol.... But we must go with an option eventually naa be it local or foreign.

Rohr has done well shaa in the aspect of luring some foreign borns. He got Aina and is using him now. It's true he always seem laid back in utilising the best young ones among our players.

As for local coaches. They have their merits and demerits too. I just don't wanna dwell on it Biko. Just hope all turns out okay because I really wanna see this new golden generation become golden indeed.

This Afcon 2019 and the Tokyo 2020 Olympics (after Afcon U-23) will dictate the direction in which our new golden generation heads.

abeg whatever we do, we shouldn't go local. can't even think of any available coach sef. do you have anybody in mind?

TheSuperNerd:
If this thread existed in 2013... These are the certain reactions/events:

- Most certainly our resident Senegalese-Ivorian, Chriskels would predict a 3-0 bashing for Keshi's Super Eagles based on how highly he rates Ivorian talents based in Europe.

- Joebie will play Mr Bonafide Realist as always and predict a loss for Nigeria without batting an eyelid. And he will say it is based on our group stage performances so far. In his own words, "We haven't played well or scored much goals".

- Earthquake3 will set a bet on Nigeria losing and even go with how many goals we will concede. Lol

- Mickael2 will give tactical reasons why we stand no chance against CIV.

- Bascovanveli will predict a win for Nigeria with no logical reason and people will say he is being crazily patriotic again.

- Icon4s will remind everyone of history pointing to how Nigeria should not be underrated but won't be taken seriously.

- TheGoodJoe will propose how we can take on the Ivorians to produce a shock. He will ask for more dare and risk takings. He will propose we play Omeruo but Icon4s may feel a little uneasy about it due to the Experience talk but he will eventually concede because it would be Keshi's decision in the end.

- Seeing Sunday Mba on that Starting XI list will shock most fans and they will be like, "Is Keshi mad? Who in the hell is Sunday Mba?? In short.. we have lost!"
But they will all change mouth when Mba scores the winner later on.

- Nigeria scores for 1-0 and fans say, "Wow! Looks like we will win this if it stays like this."

- CIV equalises and fans say, "Ahhh... They have woken up! We will lose 3-1 Las Las."

- Mba scores 2-1 and Nigeria wins. Fans say, "I knew we could do it! Naija for life!"


We are a funny people my dear Jihday Sir....

LMAO, you are so on point with this, you don sabi everybody way for here

andrew444:
Keshi is better than rohr ,not all this one you are saying naija had to use late victor moses goals to qualify ,anybody wey qualify qualify no matter the way e take qualify ,rohr has done his best and I appreciate

You no dey see keshi weak squad wey him use win afcon same weak squad qualified for the round of 16 at the 2014 World Cup and narrowly lost to France

Oboabona ,omeruo ,oshaniwa ,I can't even mention more ,the bench was so weak full with crappy players like flavour nabania uchebo,they beat the star studded Ivorian team

You think this rohr tactic can even beat a Bosnia team at the World Cup and get a draw against a stubborn Iranian side ?

Make I no talk much jare

I'm not saying who is better, my point is if this thread was alive then don't you think they'll say Keshi was clueless?
