Brother rohr congratulations on your well deserved win but needs to make some changes first from the goalkeeping apkeyi should be change for ezenwa and if ezenwa is not fully fit then make we manage our uzoho aina the main should be played on the right next match this will decide maybe he is a left back of right back...in the midfield I think Mikel needs a rest now at least for now this is gonna be the last tournament with him the subsequent one will be with iwobi so he should be given chance coz my boy was superb today in the attack should not be a problem we should play Musa ighalo and kalu then we switch to 3 5 2
with omerou/ekong been introduced Moses on the left wing back role and ndidi and etebo in the midfield and Musa and chukwuweiser terrorising the defense then we're good to go

I think Rohr is behaving himself now...At the world cup against Argentina..he made late changes

Today...the changes came on time

Is that not what I explained that people wanted to chew me raw? Missing a chance is okay if the team is creating chances. Not crucifying a player for missing.

Burundi showed intent but lacked real quality. Intent is not the deal but quality to make use of the chances, which saved us.

Good we won but we should not let it look like we were the real deal. There is room for improvement, need for us to know our lapses are glaring and we need to tidy our game quickly.

Nice finish from Ighalo, needs commendation but we need to also know Ighalo needs multiple good services to shine. We need to work on making sure we are creating loads to get the best from him.

Another coach will come with a different philosophy which will take the players time to get used to. Na my opinion sha

TheGoodJoe:
The comments feel like if it was all rosy. If Ighalo did not make that finish and Aina's brilliant pass, that would have been one hell of a game.

We controlled the game because Burundi sat deep, not because we were overly on top of our game. Even Ighalo miscontrolled a pass that was a good chance.

Good we won but we should notice that we were shaky and made lots of faulty passes and unforced errors. There is a lot of room for improvement and we should know a better side will not be so unforgiven.

If it was Ighalo, would you have been this forgiving?

charlesemeka85:
Even if this team gets knocked out in the 2nd round or quarter finals, I will love the nff to keep faith with Rohr. He has his misgivings but the man have really assembled a crop of players that has the qualities to be make the super eagles great again.

Many will say it's just Burundi but it's been long I noticed the cohension and togetherness in this team compared to our previous teams. Also his boldness to throw in young talents in is signs of bravery.

He has stood his ground on the case of local based players in the league by insisting that the countries best players is based in Europe which is the gospel truth unlike our indigineous coaches who believed they can turn an enyimba midfielder to be better than mikel or ndidi. To be honest Rohr have really impressed me since coming on as the teams coach. The future is very bright

TheGoodJoe:
Thank you.

Curtisaxel7:
Why is nobody talking about Chukwueze's horror miss?. If it was Ighalo ....

Truidstar:
Igjalo was looking very Confident and Sharp. We got the 3points. That is the most important for me. Akpeyi's problem is his body reacts faster than his brain. Congrats Family. On to the next one.

klexycole:
Boss, as you can see, they are playing defensive football and waiting to punish Nigeria on the counter.

Simply put, my point is... They are playing not to concede even if they can't win.

oloriooko:
Onuachu wouldn't have scored that Ighalo's goal that's for sure!

zuchyblink:
Replace Akpeyi with Uzoho, replace etebor with
Mikel. Very happy with chukwueze, iwobi, musa and Ighalo combination

klexycole:
They are playing for a draw, a win will be a bonus for them.

oloriooko:
So unfortunate our girls have nothing to offer
Seem our girls have platooned
No ball holder no skillful player no tactical formation
It's over welcome home girls
