You've just named these species like Adam. Bloody Spectators!

Rohr has been quite underwhelming & my eyes have been open ( to theGoodjoe's joy ) that his style of play is not future stuff . However, I can't see a replacement, maybe Herve Renard

Curtisaxel7:
Undoubtedly. Rohr's tactical knowledge is not even up to that of the average TV sports analyst.

Humility017:
that was keshi nah... keshi is a better tactician than rohr.
Rohr is just reaping from the talents at his disposal...tactically he is very poor

ChrisKels:
99.9% of Nigerians had that bet, even the NFF bought our flight tickets before the match, so dont use that as a yardstick, the odds were so stacked against us.

andrew444:
So if we top our group dr Congo is the easy team you guys prayed for us to meet ?

Who can bet with me that dr Congo will eliminate Madagascar ?

Dr Congo will even give us more problem more than cameroun

Joebie:
And our 2013 set can't even dream of AFCON. Iheanacho and Success barely missed out

andrew444:
Sorry a player that score 20 goals in a top flight league can play at any tournament

Osimhen is naija best striker in Europe this season,correct me if I am wrong

But we are not rohr nah that is playing ighalo so it's not our fault ,the same rohr prefers onauchu ahead of osimhen ,that should tell you alot

Same rohr will not allow chuks enjoy minute ,same rohr will not play onyekuru ,so leave matter

Any player wey the coach choose I go support

darkelf:
You people keep saying this but the truth is, you can't give what you don't have

This present SE don't know how to play as a team and they haven't been trained to be deadly in attack. No matter how spurred they are, a blunt attack is a blunt attack

Skillset11:
Coaching is not about experience but philosophy.
If coaching is about experience Mancity will not sack Pellegrini for Pep.
Rohr is very silly.
I can coach the Super Eagles better than that Fool.

iSlayer:
Oga excuse me you're the who's asleep, they did not call for his sack after he won his first 2 games. It was after the Madagascar game. Talking about his antecedents at tournaments, what antecedents?! Talk about these "antecedents" so we understand. If Rohr flips the squad and throws in Onyekuru, Chukwueze et al do you consider he can still lose that game? I know what you and the rest will say then, you will say that the whole squad is useless or they're not patriotic or they're all mercenaries or they don't transfer their club form to national team or Rohr sold the match to the mama put he's shagging bla bla bla.

There are only few football analysts here with the majority being fanatics.

I don't know if Rohr can win but I know he didn't come to sell snuff and schnapps, he came to compete. Didn't Tottenham make the UCL final ahead of Barcelona and Man City? Wait for the man to fail before you go guns blazing. You don't put the Cart before the Horse. I'm amazed at how narrow minded supposedly educated people can be. So to respond to your question, yes he should, until finally he fails.

forgiveness:
Rohr should play 3-5-2 or 4-4-1-1. We need two strikers upfront.

darkelf:
You guys can dream. When would ye wake up from thy slumber?

People calling for his sack is due to his antecedents at major tournaments. Not because of Madagascar.

Rohr has no tactical mind..nothing to offer technically

I want you to be objective. Weighing his antecedents and the teams performance so far, do you think Rohr can win?

Do you think he should remain?

komekn:
I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN.

But I can tell you what they can not do.

First of they are not the best team players, Onyekuru and Chukwueze will not back track and give any defensive cover. There off the ball movement is not good.

You will not get any quality crosses for your light weight forward Osimhen to receive.

Chukwueze will hug the ball trying to dribble everybody. Onyekuru is a bit more mature but similar.

There will be no HOLD UP PLAY.

As a forward line it would be disastrous causing the entire team to loose cohesion. With too much pressure being put on the midfield they may resort to Long ball police game. To get out of trouble.

IMO in this very physical based game in the AFCON, I would play Onuachu and Ighalo.

Mikel or Ogu but never the both just too slow and lethargic and can't keep up with the pace of the current high paced game in this AFCON. I would prefer if both were dropped to be honest as subs.

Which is our best winger at crossing the ball He would be first choice. But l really don't know which one. Nobody has been impressive, one of the primary function of winger and or wing back is to cross the ball. But we seem to have forgotten that.

OMANBALA1:
Every coach has a weakness that's why you hire experts to help in areas they are not so good at. Amunike is still learning the rope and soon or later he will coach super eagles.

alekside:
My reaction whenever I read some over the top post on this thread.

forgiveness:
Like I said before, Amunike is one direction coach. He hasn't learnt from the masters on how to defend.

Just one tactics.

darkelf:
Rohr is just full of excises that are sometimes weird. Imagine leaving Osimhen and onyekuru on the bench because they show off...okay Musa wet no dey show off, wetin be him threat level for ball. Rohr need to leave please. He will take us nowhere. They said he knows how to play African opposition but has struggled so far against the same African opposition.

Abeg, make Rohr begin go back Germany. We are thankful for what he has done so far but we need to look elsewhere

Icon4s:
I am not writing the team off yet.

Complaincancy affected the entire team. The number of changes were too many.

The team was overly complaisant. We are better than this.

We don't have credible midfield options. Time for Ogu and Mikel to take a bow. We need fresh Supply of young midfielders.

Ogu and Balogun were responsible for that defensive error. Nightmarish first half for Balogun.

Again, Rohr went to Egypt with surplus in natural wingers. That team doesn't have a natural supporting striker. And so we are condemned to lone striker setup all tournament.

I always try not to judge a team with it's performance in its last group game if they had qualified before that game.

Onwards, we take the matches as they come.

IronGalaxy:
Lol, don't lie Iwobi is no regular, he's a bit part player at best and you need to check comments from Arsenal fans what they really think of him, you'll be humbled., Mustafi and Xhaka are also crappy players and they start from time to time. You really need to stop acting like everyone who plays in Europe is some Pele or something

Our league is made of crap players and yet many players from the continent have used it as their springboard to Europe. Your Emenike played in our second division before moving to Europe, check how many players in the Afcon come from our league, your number goalie also plays in our league as well and you have the guts to downplay it

There are myraid of reasons why our players don't move much to Europe. Some of our players refuse to move to countries like Greece, Turkey , Belgium etc because SA clubs can match them in salaries. It is to the detriment of our players but it's one of the reasons . We still have talent across Europe though, Photo, Dolly in France, that Leshabane boy at Leicester, Foster at Monaco, we have Mathews at Borussia Dortmund etc, it's just that Bafana coaches have not alway chosen the right players

Another lie, Egypt doesn't have a lot of players in Europe, only Salah and El Neny play for reputable European clubs the rest are home based dominated by Al ahly players , in fact North Africans have always boasted national teams dominated by home players while Algeria"s players surge into Europe' s big time is a recent phenomenon

Dean was playing in English league one so what? Don't act as if Nigerian players play for Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern et al. Odemwingie was playing at Rotherham not long ago as well and some of your players could be found at backwaters such as Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand etc. Football is football, this European fixation is boring. Zambia won the Afcon with a team dominated by PSL beating a star studded Ivory Coast led by Drogba

Lastly, the fact that Tau was loaned by Brighton has nothing to do with his footballing prowess but has all to do with red tape. The team that Tau plays for is owned by the same owner that owns Brighton so since Tau can't play in the Premiership owing to permit issues it only makes sense that he plays for this team, they wouldn't buy him if they weren't interested in him. Would a Premiership directly buy a player plying his trade for Kano pillars to begin with?

darkelf:
Then we must be prepared for penalties when we meet them (Cameroun). In fact, we must be prepared for the eventuality that smaller teams would want to drag the match till penalties

Icon4s:
Infact, since after the 1982 AFCON we have made the semifinals in all the AFCONs we have participated in except that 2008 AFCON.

IronGalaxy:
you always mistake playing for the likes of Arsenal as proof of being a superior player, look at mustafi for example. Tau might play in the Belgian league but he's far better than both Mikel and iwobi and I'm not the first to allude to this in this thread.

Curtisaxel7:
I understand he had work permit issues...

Curtisaxel7:
I'd pick him ahead of Iwobi anytime anyday. Tau's natural skills are way above Iwobi's standard. Forget say Iwobi dey Arsenal.

andrew444:
You make sense but you can't change that

Imagine watching Morocco and Ivory Coast at 9pm it will be so interesting

Anyway am tipping Morocco to beat Ivory Coast
