Did you watch the Cameroon game, Aina switched off and was bypassed for the goal

It is not new knowledge

He involves in selective criticism...lol

komekn:
Where, When , How substantiate your position otherwise you are being blatantly prejudiced

Every contributor here knows Aina loses concentration but you. Aina get caught ball watching on many occasions. He literally knocked Balogun into unconsciousness during world cup qualifier, because of lack of concentration. Sometimes I feel you deliberately like to sound ignorant.

the same keshi you are talking about couldn't sustain the success he achieved that he couldn't qualify to defend the tittle he won? the same keshi who paraded home based carpenters at the expense of players plying their trade in top leagues in europe and as well performing very well week in week out? the same keshi that left the team in a mess which turned us to a laughing stock in africa?

don't allow your past achievements in life get to your head making you to believe that you are still the best in your chosen career when alot of competitors are working hard to surpass it. we are no more blessed stars compared to the era of jay jay and kanu so it is wrong for you to think that other african nations fear us because of our past glory. sexy football is achievable but when you have the right components and talents to exhibit it. whether you like it or not we lack world class players but are doing decently well with what we can boast of.

your keshi you mentioned denied so many deserving players a chance to fight a place in the national team and when he ran out of luck we became miserable football wise. players like odemwingie,aluko,lukman,taiwo,martins,imoh just to mention a few were denied chances in the team because of his junks and selfish interest.

I knew luck will run out of keshi and when it does it will be disastrous but alot were blinded because of the teams triumph in the afcon and making through the group stage of the world cup where we were grouped against teams like bosnia(who the ref helped us to win),iran that out played us and argentian who won us even when nothing was at stack.

also can you remind me of the teams we faced during the qualification of 2014 world cup and if they were as strong as the ones we faced during the 2018 world cup qualifiers?

Yet, with his crappy players he got to second round of the world cup and won the nations cup . However, Rohr, with all the ballers he parade his team cant play simple passes....Now, who is better?

edi287:
The main problem we have is in midfield. A front 3 of Musa - Ighalo - Moses Simon/ Samuel Kalu isn't bad at all in terms of profiles. It's that midfield that is killing us.
Etebo and Ndidi have done well but I still think that pivot isn't balanced enough.

I once said Iwobi is a poor impression of an attacking midfielder..

Nigga is so confused and lost most times....Iwobi on GWG is a sorry site. Nigga is poorer that poor on the field.

darkelf:
Yes, I support your assertions.

Yes, he may get the Job done qualifying us for tournaments but we ought to see signs of improvement

I dare say that we were lucky in our last game. But it will be foolhardy to keep on courting on mother luck. She is not a faithful woman and may leave our side in the next game. The reason why SA is very confident against us is because we didn't play to our full potential in the recent meetings between us.

We need to improve on our game and start instilling fear in our opponents.

Of course, we were danm lucky to beat Cameroon....lol. Any tactical sound coach like the South African coach can read Rohr so easily. The team has no rythm no telepathy just random movement of the ball till a chance is mistakenly created. Our progress does not correlate with our play.

I am just waiting for Rohr dismissal...you cant give what you dont have....end of road.

komekn:
You jumped in without understanding the context and to whom my response was directed too.

Doesnt really matter , we all know your agenda.....Awaziem is crap and Aina is good....Tamy Abraham is good and Kelechi is crap.....Tomori is the best thing since creation of championship....lol.

Even before you say a word we know your thoughts...lmao

charlesemeka85:
i made reference to Brazilian players plying their trade in the chinese super league not Brazilian clubs. rohr is crappy but qualified a team who failed to make it to the afcon back to back with a game spared and also qualified the team from a group that comprised top african teams such as zambia,algeria and cameroon enroute to the world cup without losing a single game just in the space of 3 years.

he is crappy and turned our team to one of the most feared team in africa once again which is what we were known of in african football previously. what was our rating in world football and africa when rohr took charge of the team compared to now?

when we were grouped against against cameroon,algeria,zambia during the world cup qualifiers did you ever believed that the team will qualify easily like the did considering the foes they faced during the qualifiers?

the problem we have as Nigerians is that we are way too ambitious and lack patience without putting into consideration that in the game of football it takes time to build a decent team. to me i agree rohr is not the best but he has so far done enough to build a decent team from scratch and as well built a solid foundation for any other coach who will take over when he vacates his position.

The world cup qualifying group of death was not the first time we found ourselves in such group. Keshi had achieved more with way less talented group of players than Rohr. Rohr has not won anything yet. And ,yes he is tactically deficient. Rohr has been Super Eagles for over 3yrs yet we unable to play three good passes....its not impatient...its FED UP! There is no reason why we should not be playing beautiful football!

And, no! The problem with Nigeria is not impatience it's people like you who are dormant and comfortable with anything you are given. Rohr has not done anything spectacular....just few flashes here and there.

charlesemeka85:
oga all na mind game. it will be boastful and arrogant for him to come out in the press with comments that SA will be roasted. lets wait and watch how things unfold tomorrow

Guy , even if Rohr decides he want to boast he cant because his team has played very poorly and had just managed to tuck in their goal. Their first real test will be against South Africa....No hiding place because those guys have beaten us before.

charlesemeka85:
ighalo have paid his dues in a top league as the epl before he left for china for monetary gain which is understandable. the brazil national prefer calling up a player from the csl than a player banging in goals week in week out for anderlecht,club brugge,standard liege,genk and gent who are the biggest teams in belgian football.

the same oshimeh counldnt hold his own in an unstable club as wolfsburg but i will never judge him with that because it was also a learning route in his young career. oshimeh's time will come but for now ighy is the best we can boast of

You started on the wrong note by comparing a well organized and funded Brazil professional league(i guess that's what csl stands for) to the Super Eagles situation. Fact is that Osimhen is our best striker in the just ended season in Europe not Ighalo and Chinese league is no where comparable to Belgian league. Therefore, I maintain the only reason Ighalo is starting has nothing to do with club form...my statement will be further validated when you take in account what a crappy tactician Rohr is. So, dont compare apples and oranges....use the appropriate variables. Many clubs in the Brazilian professional league can give some European super powers a run for their money. Gabriel Jesus waa bought directly from Brazilian league. They have good quality.

Also, using Osimhen's time at Wolfsburg to degrade him is just pathetic....if you know what a teenage players fresh off the boat go through in these European clubs you will hide your face in shame....this is a young man who was a teenager and still learning the basic. There could be a thousand reason why he was not CONSTANTLY played. However , the same Osimhen is in another clubside churning out goals like nobody's business....He who laughs last...while Ighalo was bungled out of premiership.

I see your romance with Southgate....lol

Icon79:
If Jamilu Collins is 100% fit, then I would expect him to start at LB while Ola Aina move to his natural RB.

That, to me, is our strongest like up.



O pari

Ola Aina cant displace Awaziem now. Aina has improved but I am not completely sold. Chidozie Awaziem,on the other hand have remain composed and steadily gaining confidence.

I would have loved Aina to start from left now that Jamilu Collins is back but I also noticed Aina still loses concentration mid game. Sometimes dude is absent minded. Awaziem though not as adventurous as Aina but he has performed fairly well for a guy who is played out of position.

komekn:
Reality Check he dies not deserve anything, you earn game time. It is not a RIGHT

The SE is not the place you build your career.

The SE is recognition of outstanding quality performances in your club and league.

Thier club form reflects the requirements of the league and club but not the requirements of the SE and in this AFCON.

So, Osimhen did not earn game time?? Remind me the league where Osimhen plays and Ighalo. The only reason Ighalo is starting ahead of Osimhen is based precisely on super eagles experience. It has nothing to do with club form.

Danielnino00:
IMO,Rohr isn't much different from our local coaches when it comes to players selection . Our local coaches selection are often influenced by nepotism, corruption and tribal sentiments but Rohr's is clearly based on loyalty which I feel is bad for the team. .

Look at Shehu. .Because he impressed during the World cup qualifiers Rohr decided to stick with him for long..despite having Aina and Ebuehi who are better and natural RBs ... His preference for Kalu obviously has to do with the Bordeaux connection .And he is still rewarding Musa for his world cup heroic that's why he doesn't want to give Onyekuru a chance to displace him..

Look like what's going on. And that first goal against Cameroon in Nigeria sealed the top striker position for Ighalo....ever since then its either Ighalo or nobody. But, lets not forget he dropped Nacho

Danielnino00:
Rohr has been sticking with Ndidi, Mikel,Ogu and Etebo as his midfielders,while giving little chance for others like Uche Agbo to compete... He invited Ebere Eze to train with the team in London when d guy was relatively unknown but refused to call him up when he hit form with QPR ....
He is obviously not innovative like we think...He prefers to stick with his loyal boys...

I don't think what we need now is a DM in Agbo because we have that in numbers and Agbo has not been particularly spectacular. We need a 10 and a young one ,too.


I don't care if Rohr wins the nations cup or not I want him gone. We need an attack minded coach because we have decent defence.

Danielnino00:
Iwobi has this habit of starting games slowly and gassing out quickly. against a rugged Cameroon team, I fear what would happen...

Mikel would have done the job but he is a mess in this tournament and Iwobi leaves much to desire. We can forget that midfield until the nations cup is over.Ndidi passing abilities lack the quality to control the midfield and Etebo is undefined.

I want to see Azubike Okechukwu play with Ndidi....Zuby is more gifted than all the DM we parade, including Ndidi. Zuby can match forward with the ball and dictate play something Ndidi is yet to normalize.

Earthquake3:
Iwobi has played against Brighton, Burnley

He's no kid

Iwobi lack the gut and grit to play in the AFCON...He will lose more possession, Ekong will lose possession, Ighalo will miss 20 chances to score, Musa will outrun lightning....Just when I thought I was about to recover from the world cup disaster another is about to strike.


Are you telling me out of 170 million people we can't find a solid 1st eleven? It's painful to endure when there is no hope of relief. What's wrong with Nigeria.....It hurts. What are we actually good at?? Always bringing worthless whitemen who come to Nigeria and are treated like gods....I pray Nigerian youths rise and spill blood!

aniomafirstson:
Winning a match is all about getting your tactics right and also having the right personnel to deliver.

Don't forget this current eagles team has never lost to Cameroon(this current team won Cameroon 4-0).

Forgerrit we are beating Cameroon come Saturday.

Lol....Guy, I smoke ganja sometimes but your sshit is superior....Now, how many times has Rohr Eagles played Cameroon? I think once. So, how does the word "never" come into this ? You talk as if you are playing India...lol

DrKlever:
Rohr matter dun tire me. I have lost all interest in the outcome of the match. I still wish we win.

I am just imagining how Iwobi will orchestrate the midfield with imposing presence of the Cameroonians. This match is more than just having the right tactics....This match will be a pure test of mental strength, which the Cameroonians have in abundance. Like somebody rightly put...we have team spirit but no team play. Well, in as much as I want us to win this team has been a disappointment so far unless Rohr changes tactics.

BascoVanVeli:
He should be ashamed of himself. A grown man hell bent on making a young kid look bad. This has gone on for years now and it is not cool at all.

The guy is annoying. To him ,every Nigeria youngster is a crap while English players rules. Onyekuru, Chukwueze and Osimhen quality dey pain am eh.

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

Firstly , I didn't insult the whole southwest. I meant Tinubu followers not the whole southwest. Secondly, how did my father got into this discussion ?

Umuleri Oke Ebo ,udo!

forgiveness:
Mind your language Mr. You are sounding like an ignoramus.

Keep quiet, Tinubu and northern slave! I am sure you are up to 40 yrs but you behave like a ddummy...always reasoning with your rrectum.

krattoss:
What do u intend doing about these?? Wail?

Educating Nigerians to stop voting their emotions and sentiments. There is no reason why Nigeria's youth should sit down and wail while senators go home with 15 millions every month.....Why are there no protesters burning the country down?? Nigerians make the biggest complaints in the world but when it comes to taking action they ppunk out...lol. Same with super eagles, lot of puff no punch.

Joebie:
Cameroon na jam body football let’s not forget

Bros, Cameroon play very good football plus their extra jam body. The indomitable Lions are not just about jam body

Starboytwo:
what do you mean our flag is one of the the ugliest when our Jersey was the no1 in the world during the world cup, check urself...

2 our president is one of the dumbest? Really, if the head is dumb then the whole body is dumb as well...

3 our Economy is actually the Biggest in Africa( argue with yourself) ND if proven not to be the biggest then it's definitely not far from the biggest...the whole of Africa and Asia would share in the poverty capital of the world, not only Nigeria, infact 9ja is one of the well to do Nations in Africa...try c.a.r, Congo, yemen, haiti, Liberia, South Sudan, Mozambique etc...and nobody beats anybody 10-0 anymore...everybody don wise up, Iceland eliminated England at the Euros...Peru just eliminated Uruguay at the copa etc..

Nigeria looks like a cursed nation you say? Maybe I'm missing something, tell me one year we have not always looked like a cursed nation, if Pmb hadn't won, Atiku would have, imo, same ol same ol...

Tinubu and his southwest fools Definitely you are an ipob terrorist and politics is Alien to you...

Support and wish well for the nation or kindly travel out abeg, no come here dey preach falsehood...

Yes, your President is ddumb and so are the people that voted for him. I didnt vote because I am not in the country but if I were I would have voted Atiku because of Peter Obi who is from my state. I said Obi because I know how he turned Anambra around. And, I know he will not sit and let Atiku rape the country....Peter Obi forced Obasanjo to sleep in the governors lodge and refused to pay for a hotel...He is fearless, prudent and wealthy. He was made before politics. This is not tribal because I dont do tribal politics...Its for iidiots....also, calling me IPOB shows how dimwitted you are.

Yes, Tinubu is a ffoollish old ffag that will sell his people on a plate of ewedu! All of a sudden he stop talking about restructuring....what happened?

ChrisKels:
U are in the wrong thread and section. Take this to the politics section. U are on the verge of derailing this thread. Tnx for ur understanding

I write what I want to write..Nobody whether online or in person can't do sshit!

Super Eagles woes is tied to the incompetence of the people at the top.

darkelf:
Only Ndidi would make the bench. The rest won't make the team

Agreed ,but you also have to take in account that some of our current players are still young. Osimhen, Onyekuru, Aina, Chukwueze and Iwobi are still very young.

naturecures:
Why are Nigerians in the diaspora saying the green jersey always bring bad luck to eagles, and we should stop wearing it.

any explanation for these??

Firstly, our flag is one of the ugliest. Our president is one of the ddumbest with his disrespectful RUGA settlements. Our economy is one of the crappiest, with highest cases of poverty in the whole world and you think some magic will happen and eagles will start beating everybody 10 zero....lol

I hope not but Nigeria look like a cursed nation. How can Buhari be a President in Nigeria....The country is headed for the rocks that's why Buhari quickly suspended the RUGA program.....The north is holding us down ,while Tinubu and his southwest ffools are busy contemplating on which tribe the next President will come from.

Olulong:
I know the loss to Madagascar was painful but TBH that Cameroon team is not as good as ours.

U watched thier game again today and it will take a very poor performance from us for us to lose to them

Whether the Indomitable Lions are worse or not they will put their life on the line on that day. And, whether we like it or not we must play that day...this is not Guinea, Madagascar nor Burundi....This Cameroonian team can beat Super Eagles anyday!

BascoVanVeli:
Cameroon are the under dogs IMO. The last 3 matches we played were a combined score of 8-1.

Ighalo has scored 2 goals in 3 matches and so has Simon Moses. Mikel will be a big miss because he has been imperious against the lions 1 goal and 2 assists in 3 matches. Iwobi should be excited as he will face the team he made his international debut against.

Leon Balogun made his first appearance as a CB against Cameroon thanks to Sunday Oliseh who paired him with Efe Ambrose that night in Belgium. I think he is the only one who can man that left side as Ekong and Omeruo play on the right for club.

Well, I guess football is mathematics....lol

Nwanne, to me its not just about winning. I want to see Super Eagles play good soccer game. Play like we have the quality. I dont want to see Ighalo fighting wrestling and maybe scrapped in one goal and becomes a hero...Chukwu ekwena!

I want to see them fight and bleed! I , as a man has been through a lot and there were situation when I had to resurrect the god in me and show I have something to offer. Let them play socver and stop licking from the pusssy like bunch of women.

Icon4s:
Yes, some deliver both at club and at the national team. But we would not want to use that Cameroon game to experiment it. That is my point.

@ the bolded He learnt some few lessons with that SA 2-0 Loss.

But I heard the commentator on the Mali vs Angola mentioned a 19yrs old and a 20yrs old on the team. And they were playing JOGA BONITO....
JOGA BONITO baba icons! Spreading passes like Barcelona but our eagles can't string 2 good passes with Mikel, Ighalo and Musa present....Let the youngsters play and learn from their mistake.

Nobody need to tell us this AFCON should be used as a building process for our youngsters.
