Joebie:
Rohr has been tinkering this team for over 4 years now, and they have played in various surfaces and conditions. He knew ahead of time that we will miss several players for the Cape Verde tie, before naming his squad. He's been working with a large pool of players for all these years. We have depth that he should have tested well enough prior to this very moment. He has no excuse not to win in Cape Verde. I will take a draw ONLY because I do not have high expectations of him. I would be so glad if he surprises me.
In his friendlies he should have tested muazum, nwakali, China akas etc to see how good they are but our oyibo man refused. We have a serious coaching problem. They should assign someone knowledgeable to him. He is limited.
By now he should know his second team. Not trying new players is a waste of friendlies. Friendlies are supposed to improve the team

TheLoneCitizen:
Everytime I have watched Umar Sadiq he has been class.

For a player just 8 cm shorter than Onuachu, I can't believe the staggering chasm in technique, pace and footwork.

Of all the 106 goals he has scored in his senior career, only 11 were headers, the same number as Onuachu for Genk. Wow!

Almeria's stance is justified.
Sadiq Umar is badly underrated. This is because he struggled in Europe when he was young. He will play for big clubs and win African footballer of the year. He is too technically sound and fits into the modern game.
Roma was right snapping up this 16 year old boy when he was very young. That is what as Roma saw in him

About afcon 2021.

Because of covid issues caf will actually allow a 30 man list instead of the usual 23. As a result Rohr can include some players like sadiw umat, nwakali etc that are on his supplementary list.

I hope rohr does not think onuachu is a good alternative to osimhen as that is a dumb idea with our style of play.
Another dumb idea is that there is no alternative to ndidi and iwobi.
He is not too bright a man. His intelligence is limited to a few basic things.
He does not know
How to use ejuke dribbling and creativity
Miss speed mobility and aggression
etc.
Nff should put a tactician beside him.
Any team that marks out iwobi will expose rohr limitations as a coach

Nostradamus1:
The super Eagles is not for carpenters and plumbers.
If u had mentioned a better player , I would have not minded but if Azeez is not performing for Club, what is the probability that he will light up SE
Stuff like that can be decided in a friend ly. Rohr should have used his friendlies to work on the weaknesses of the team and see which player can improve the team

Subzero047:
We cannot even dominate the midfield against common Liberia
Rohr is technically deficient and has reached his limits. He does not know how to use the talent s at his disposal. He needs a technician beside him. He can try Ramon Azeez in midfield but he won't invite him m because of his limited logic of club form.
Rohr is just an average coach and he is not too intelligent. He has tried but he cannot go beyond 57%.
Give rohr real Madrid and they will be in mid table.

timibare:
E b like say we fit no see ds match on tv
i dont understand. A match involving the national team should be
broadcasted on local stations like nta, galaxy etc.
There should be no need for satellite since it is a national match
IT SHOULD BE A LAW. FORGET ABOUT MONETARY CONSIDERATIONS. THIS IS A NATIONAL ISSUE FOR GOD'S SAKE
ALSO, ALL NPFL MATCHES (OUR LOCAL LEAGUE) HAS TO BE SHOWN BY OUR LOCAL TELEVISION STATIONS
LIKE CHANNELS, SILVERBIRD ETC. I WONDER WHAT SUPERSPORT HAS TO DO WITH THIS.
EVEN TOGO DE BROADCAST THEIR LEAGUE AND NATIONAL MATCHES TALK LESS OF
A FOOTBALLING COUNTRY LIKE NIGERIA WITH A GLOBAL REPUTATION IN FOOTBALL

TheSuperNerd:
The story of most African AMs in Europe. De ja vu.
SuperNerd
Ill be honest with you converting african am to dm
is pure Rascism and bias.
It is just social bias and a norm that Africans are not seen as
been able to play as attacking midfielders or creative players
We cannot eradicate rascism and bias completely from human society
It also happens in American football where blacks are seen as not been
able to play the quater-back position.

Zaidu Sanusi's problems in Porto are also somewhat rascist
Maybe if he changes his name to Carlos Alena
and lie that his mother was Brazilian they will accept him.
Even his name is too ras for the Porto fans to like.

ChrisKels:
So after all the noise, no moves for Paul Onuachu and Sadiq Umar? Yet they wanna rep the eagles in big tourneys? Who would overlook Awoniyi banging it in, in the Bundesliga, and maybe a Dessers running a show with Feyenord in the Eredivisie for some segunda striker like Sadiq and a Belgian league striker like Onuachu? Some of these our players dey mumu. Onuachu and Ike Ugbo na dem mumu pass. Ike Ugbo's reason for leaving Chelsea was that he wants to rep the eagles in Qatar, yet he went to Genk while the smarter striker realized the mistake he made last summer then left Genk for Feyenord.

Next call ups now, Awoniyi would be more deserving of an invite than Onuachu, and na like that Onuachu go say bye-bye to his world cup dreams.
Yeah you are right. Add to that the possibility of Simmy getting another 20 goals in the Italian league and things
will become more dificult.
HOWEVER
Style of play and interest of coach can come into play.
Sometimes coaches select players because they blend into their formation or
their style of play is effective. As in maurinho's time in Chelsea, he prefered players like
Drogba and essein not necesarly because they were the best in the world but because they fitted into his formation.
I personally will prefer Umar because of his creativity but Im not the coach
and i dont know how he thinks or his idea.
BUT
MEAN THIS GENERATION IS PRODUCING TOO MANY STRIKERS.
NOW EVERY SEASON A NEW STRIKER IS COMMING UP TO DO ONE WONDER OR THE OTHER
