SirMichael1:


I've always known that this day would come. I noticed they've not been able to score over 3 goals after the just concluded international break.

It was 2 goals against Leicester, 1 goal against the last club and draw today

I can bet that Man city wouldn't win this match.

I'm 100% sure this game would end in 1-1 against man city

We have 45 min to see if u rite

Sane freekick was sumptuous but denied by the bar

Aguero tucked in the pen goallllll

2nd half pen for MCI

Flood of attacks yet no goal yet from MCI

Sterlin was wasteful there

If a stranger reads your comments and your word on 'overhauling' the defence. He'd think that the defence is whack, he'd think that the defence has conceded an avalanche of goals. Readers here know that the defence is not whack. That's why they are surprised at how you call for a sweeping(that's what overhaul means) of the defence.

Rohr knows that the defence needs improvement, needs reinforcement.

Seem you getting me wrong cuz overhaul means
to look at every part of (something) and repair or replace the parts that do not work
: to change (something) completely in order to improve it
I can see many Rohr defenders on this thread and I think its cuz its been long the SE did anything worth celebrating so this singular act of qualification is like the hope to many Nigerians but we must not fail to point out their flaws

Kog45:
Good let's talk football cos initially you are just saying Rohr is pay to do the job.

Yes truly we beat Argentina in a friendly which is good for the confidence of the team meaning the team is working.

On the defence,truly works need to be done just like other departments of the game or do you want to say Argentina team will discard their defence cos of the lost against Nigeria.

My man the defence is growing and before WC you will see a better and solid defence which everyone would be proud of

I will not deceive you i don't see any defender out there that is better than what we have now or do you see anyone cos you are finding it difficult to suggest a name.My man there is none for now and if Rohr see he w not hesitate to call hmm.I believe with what is available Rohr should be able to give us the best.

Seem the word overhaul is being misunderstood here
Overhaul means
to look at every part of (something) and repair or replace the parts that do not work
: to change (something) completely in order to improve it
No one is saying totally discard but Rohr needs to work his sox off if he wants to make impact at the WC
Nigeria should stop completing the square at WCs.
Its high time we made serious statement at the WC
Rohr should justify his pay

I think this is a thread we all gather to share ideas and the only way is to make valid and cogent analysis.

Truly Rohr w not come here to read but i believe a lot read our comments but a lot of comments here are very useful to guys outside who like to peep and gather information.

I believe you are trying to say the defence is not good enough and guys have been asking you simple question,what did you suggest but your reply was Rohr is being paid to do the job then why commenting on the team if Rohr is pay to do the job,no need of saying the team is bad,let leave everything for Rohr and see the outcome at the WC.

I want to give brief historical of Nigeria WC team starting from US 94 and defence w be our major talking points.

I love to use US 94 team as an example cos they still remain the best.In defence we have two slow CB in Okechukwu and Nwanu with average Uche Okafor and half fit Keshi deputising,our fullbacks were average Eguavoen, Ben Iroha,Mike Emenalo who was playing then Sunday Sunday football Nigeria version in Europe and India man Emeka Ezeugu,this defence conceded 4 goals.

I want to tell you that our US 94 defenders like Uche Okafor,Mike Emenalo,Emeka Ezeugu will not make this present team at this stage not even WC proper.Guys like Shehu Abdullahi,Ebuhei,Bryan Idowu,Ola Aina would give Eguavoen tough time before he can make this team,i will rate Ben Iroha slightly ahead of our present fullbacks,also Nwanu and Okechukwu ahead of our present CBs cos of experience.

The France 98 team that have solid defence with the presence of Okechukwu,Taribo,Babayaro,Oparaku,Godwin Opara,Iroha,Eguavoen and Okafor conceded whopping 9 goals while 2014 WC team with rookies like Omeruo,Oboboana,Oshaniwa,Ambrose,Egwueke,Odunlami and experience Yobo conceded 5 goals,pls can you rate 2014 WC team with this present team.

Please let's give respect to this team,this is a team with Akpeyi and Ezenwa in goal conceded just two goals from open play,so what a fuss.

I don't want to talk on Morocco cos recently we beat Argentina who are far ahead and better than Morocco.

I appreciate your analysis you try sha
Am not disrespecting the team cuz I don't know what I have said yo disrespect a team that topped the most proposed difficult team to qualify for the WC
Beating Argentina in a friendly is no where near meeting same team at the WC
What am saying is that Rohr is paid to build us a team so let him do just that seeing that our weakest poit is the defence and I know Rohr knows about this.
No one is taking away the hard work the team has put into qualifying but that is history now, the best is yo focus on the WC and build a formidable defence which is pur weakest point

Lucque:
Oh rili?.
ND if Ders were better WC worthy defenders out der... U wouldn't have heard of dem?
Or u want rohr to organise street football competitions to find new defenders?

If that's the solution .... Yeah!

Lucque:
Who The hell is dis one now?
Are u being serious or ur just seeking attention?.
We dnt just come here ND bicker like market women... We identify points of weakness ND give reasonable solutions ...if u can't name d candidates for ur overhaul just rest Abeg...

Stop the abuse my friend
If you not happy with my post simply ignore it and move to other must you resort to foul language just cuz am not your stooge?
If Rohr pays you to make noise on his behalf please keep that to yourself
This forum is free for anyone and everyone, its not exclusively yours abeg

Arsenal has nothing good to offer this season other than 7th position #teammancity

Danielnino00:
Can u suggest a few players u think can make our defence "formidable" enough for the WC??

Surely if u have a problem with defence u must have some better players in mind to suggest to Rohr.. name them please...

That's what Rohr and his team is paid millions to do

nelszx:
The department you don't overhaul in any football team is the defence. You can overhaul the strike force but once you overhaul an entire defence that has not done badly then you expose the team. You may say the defence needs "reinforcement" not an "overhaul"

Whatever you call it that defence needs serious work!
If we stake them against a team like Morocco you will see the evident flaws not to talk of superior teams

Danielnino00:
Which overhaul again??

Granted,we need reinforcements in defence in case something happens to our regular CB pairings but an overhaul is out of question... if u are worried about Balogun recent form,then trust Rohr to be looking for a solution...

Only a dishonest person will say our defence under Rohr isn't the best the super eagles has ever had since the class of 2013...

Does that make us formidable against WC opponents
We should stop these sentiments and brace up for serious work now!

Icon4s:
List the defenders with which we will carry out this overhaul you talk about.

Ask Rohr, that's why he's paid in millions

safarigirl:
your comment is a big joke.

Overhaul what? A defense that let in just two goals from open play in the third round of qualifiers?

A defense that held down an Argentine team that was firing from all cylinders?

Do you remember what your 2010 and 2014 defense looked like? Do you think it was better than what we have now?

Name the defenders you want to replace our current ones with, let us see if you are serious abi you want to turn our team to another fantasy team

To you my comment is a joke but to me its the real deal
Now you think friendly game is same as the WC proper?
Wake up and smell the roses dude, if we cross path with Argentina with this defence, we are toast
I don't have to name any player cuz that's what Rohr and his team is paid to do!
