talk talk talk. make match start...

jihday:
"We are not scared of France," says Ordega. "I like challenges. We went to France last April and the result was pretty bad but that's football.
"We went to Germany in 2011 and lost 8-0 in the preparation for that tournament but in the actual World Cup they struggled to score against us. We know France are a good team though."
Team-mate Oshoala added: "You can't beat my country 8-0 and come back and do it again. No way!
"We have to go all out against them. We want them to know that was just a mistake. We have to return our image. It will be an interesting game."

Hahahaha. All the members in this thread want the best for SE. I can beat my chest to that.

darkelf:
And they say we are unpatriotic

I have no idea what Icons said but we’ve been on this path before

ChrisKels:
Seems there was some kinda tete-a-tete on the course "Reality101", between these three before coming online this night.

Icon4s the target

My list hasn't changed
1. Egypt
2. Cameroon
3. Morocco
4. Nigeria
5. CIV

All those thinking Senegal will do something, let's wait and see.

elyte89:

Oya make una talk una prediction now o or never

This is a new one from NIke I saw yesterday. Didn't bother to share

mostob:
ladies and gentlemen. .
sisters Ajibade..Oshoala...onome...okeke... say HI

I don't even care if the 3 keepers are all from the NPFL. As long as there is a fierce fight for the #1 shirt.

Mickael2:
Excellent? I am guessing you didn't watch that match against Algeria, dude couldn't even catch a back pass even if he used his hands.

By the way I think at some point Femi Thomas was exceptional, watched some of his games but u don't know about now, put Ajiboye and Ezenwa in the same club and Ezenwa will sit on the bench for 38 league games. I don't really know the names of the goalkeepers but someone can help out. I seriously don't believe that Enyimba's former 3rd choice goalkeeper is the best we can get from the NPFL

thank you! two different situations.

TheGoodJoe:
First thing, sack Alloy Agu and bring back Ike Shorunmu. I think the growth of Enyeama and Ejide happened under his watch. We need competition in that role before we enter problem.

I think in Manchester United, it was about the figure with charisma than goalkeeping talent.

key word, "MIGHT". If what I have is not good enough, I will try my best regardless. Even if it means turning to the domestic league.

Earthquake3:
Who is there to scout, Maduka Okoye that conceded 22 goals in 11 games or the Sylvester guy

When Rohr said the guys in camp are the best we have, he may be right

He won't break my heart. I know what to expect from him.
I am just hoping for surprises. If i get surprised, I will definitely jubilate

Famocious:
Rohr will surely break a lot of hearts at this Afcon 2019..

You can give what you don't have..

I will support the team with my time and eyes not with my heart this time around. Once beaten twice shy

So how does that example hold water relating to SE

TheGoodJoe:
I think Bosnich was okay. Van Der Elst also looked good to me. Taibi started very well and just tanked and became crap over night. Van der Sar brought the stability.

and the keepers between them were whack.

TheGoodJoe:
Schmeichel left Manchester United in 1999 and van der sar joined in 2005. That is six years, but your point still stands.

I don't think we have been ambitious with testing keepers and promoting competition. What have our keeper scouts been doing?

Earthquake3:
I don’t know what else Rohr could have done

"keeping his cards to his chest".. abi u never hear that one before? Even if the game have ended a draw it doesn't still say anything. If we had won, how would it relate to the previously bolded. I really don't care about the outcome of the friendly.

Earthquake3:
What's the point then?

So Rohr has joined the list of exceptions. bravo

Earthquake3:
Man U took almost 10 years when Schmiechel left

no, that's not the point.

Earthquake3:
Excuse me, where you expecting to beat Senegal?

The bolded reminds me of just before the WC. Anybody who thinks Rohr has a master plan is dreaming.

Mickael2:
Rohr is concealing his tactics according to the master himself Icon4s.
Either that or the players are saving themselves for the tourney proper, why injure yourself in a friendly game or play your best game when tournament never start . These are the deluded remarks we heard last year prior to the world cup, this year again the team is busy going to the beach and other relaxation centers, and I am wondering how that will help their performance. I remember in the previous world cup, the English team routine was train, sleep, eat and FIFA game breaks, the only reason why FIFA games were even accepted was because it improves your movement as a player but no, we are going to the beach to 'enjoy' ourselves days to a tournament. Make we dey look.

On the other hand if we did play a midfield 3 of Ndidi, Mikel and Iwobi then it is easy to see why the team didn't score. It is clear from this formation that Mikel will sit deep and Iwobi will be ahead of Ndidi and Iwobi likes playing one-twos, is it with Ndidi that he will play that? Ndidi isn't good enough to play that at all, then ahead of Iwobi you have Chukwueze who is more concerned with beating his man than playing short quick passes and Ighalo who would rather play a more direct football, you can then see that this team cannot possibly play to Iwobi's strength in that 3-5-2 formation. IMHO if we play a 3-5-2 then Mikel should be in the AMF role, Iwobi as the second striker and whoever starts in the forward role can start, at least Iwobi will be able to combine with Mikel and play one touch football and open up the defence, either that or Iwobi goes to the bench totally, it is not as if he ended the season on a high note anyways.

But make we wait for highlights at least

how long does it take to solve a keeper crisis?

not a bad result at all. I was expecting like 3-0 against naija.

Barryseal:
Game over. Not a bad result.

match don finish.. senegal win

both formations are wrong then

mank1234:
The other source is partly right. Match in last 15min. However, the previous lineup was wrong. Osimen is partnering Iwobi in attack.

Morrocco don score.. na 2-2 now against Zambia

meanwhile...

modified
Na flashscore talk am oh

this your source get as e be oh.. see formation?

I believe the other source say we dey lose.

mank1234:
Match starts in 4min.

I’m sure other Nigerians did. He had to react to that. I’ve never heard Rohr sound ambitious until those very recent quotes.

Curtisaxel7:
Lol. Now I am convinced that Rohr is a member of this thread.

Is it a coincidence that we criticized him for making deafeatist statements just yesterday and today he issued another statement making a complete U- turn?.

I would play a fit Ighalo partnering Musa upfront. Aina as RWB. Simon as LWB.
Kalu to come in depending on the run of play.

Iwobi for Etebo

Oasis007:


Strictly personal.

Top 8?
I’m banking on top 4. I want us to win it, but I think we will be top 4. Well let’s wait to see the group games.

BascoVanVeli:
Anything outside the top 8 is a failure but I want to win this thing and I believe we can.

Better said Mr Rohr. For once u have spoken like a coach with a mission.

Rohr : Super Eagles Will Fight Hard To Win AFCON 2019 Title
Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr has stated that the team will give their all to win a fourth Africa Cup of Nations title in Egypt, reports Completesports.com.

The three-time African champions who missed the last two editions of the tournament were drawn in a significantly weak group alongside Guinea, as well as the duo of Madagascar and Burundi who are set to participate in their first ever AFCON.

Hosts Egypt, Senegal and Morocco are among the favourites to win the competition but Rohr insists the Super Eagles will fight hard to win the title.

“This team has a good mixture of youthfulness and experience. The atmosphere in and around the team is very good. We are also working very hard in training,” Rohr disclosed in a video interview on the official Twitter handle of the Super Eagles.

“We gave good strikers and good defenders in the team. For now, we don’t know who our number one goalkeeper will be. We have to decide that after two weeks of preparation.

“I think our major strength is in the solidarity team. The players are willing to help each other out. We have eight new players in the team, which can help us at the end of the day.

“The experience of Obi Mikel will also help us. Everyone is happy that he is back in the team because they all want him back. I just hope we won’t have any injury problem going into the competition.

“It’s important not to put pressure on the young players, but I can assure that we will work and fight hard in Egypt. We will do everything we can to win the trophy.

“Sometimes, you need the help of God of football to achieve your objective. We want to win it for Nigerians but it important to also stay humble. We will fight till end to win the trophy. ”

After their final friendly match against Senegal in Ismailia Stadium on Sunday, the Super Eagles will depart for Alexandria, where they will play all their Group B games.

Nigeria will play Burundi on June 22 followed by fixtures against Guinea and Madagascar, on June 26 and June 30 respectively.

Called from Complete sport

He doesn’t need to brag. We have known Rohr for a while. you don’t necessarily have to boast to sound ambitious.

charlesemeka85:
So you want him to go all over the media bragging on his team will run rags on teams and win the afcon With no stress? Weldone sir!

“After I missed the World Cup, I bounced back quickly and moved on. You take that disappointment and turn it into hunger and desire to be in this tournament and be selected. It has just pushed me to be even more determined. Now I'm ready to go and do my best...”

— Aina

Yes it is.

Earthquake3:
Is it possible that this boy is U12

On a second thought, Rohr is being realistic based on the the quality of the players at our disposal. He is not trying to raise expectations. However, if he believes himself as a tactician he would have high ambitions. He never does, sadly

Icon4s:
That is unfortunately so.

We are going with our best attackers regardless.

Icon4s:
My brother if you ask me, We are going to this AFCON with a blunt attack.
