Another Nigerian talent (Ishmeal Taofeek) joins Lorient but will be loaned to Valeranga till summer.
Moffi, Bonke and Ismheal. Another Watford loading?

Looking at how this afcon has played out so far, I have the feeling that Rohr would have taken us to the final with his conservative style of football.
I enjoyed our style of play during the afcon but we were not ripe enough for that approach, got carried away with initial success and threw caution away.
How we outplayed the Tunisians even with a man down showed our superior quality. with a more careful approach, I feel we would have dispatched them. Two major events in the game prove my point;
1. Ola Aina was in a better position to intercept that long pass to the scorer or at least maintain position to prevent the player going on a run with the ball. Awaziem or even Shehu would have done better in that instance.
2. Iwobi received a simple pass, ball was under his control and in a split second he lost connection with the ball and desperately lounged into a bad tackle.
Lastly, the fact that we lacked clinical finishers and good goalkeepers should have made us more careful.

Senegal might win the tourney

Why are you still arguing with these people?

It's obvious they have a strong bias for local coaches(competent or incompetent) and will support them in whatever they do. They are guilty of the very same thing they accuse other people of. If it was Rohr who lost against that depleted Tunisian side, would they have made the same excuse they're currently making for Eguavoen?
Tunisia is a top team all of a sudden. The same Tunisia we beat at the last AFCON and it was their first eleven.



I hated Rohr's tactics. I totally despised them, so much so I stopped watching a lot of our matches but the man gave us results when they mattered the most. Results are the most important thing in cup competitions.

This is why I wanted him sacked AFTER the AFCON and not before, especially if he didn't win it. That way we would have a much better excuse to get rid of him.

Joezinho:



Rohr's team would have reached the semis of this AFCON, meaning they would've beaten Tunisia and BF but I can't say they would've defeated Senegal.

Senegal currently has 7 UCL players. Significantly more than any other nation in the AFCON. They simply have better talent right now and should win this cup hands down if they can handle the shenanigans and dirty tricks that Egypt will bring.

Almost every goalkeeper in this tournament have been world class.

Torture2020:
well, Ghana can still contract him to work as an advisor to the team. At this point, Ghana is not looking at all to employ Gernot. But I personally think they should pick his brain on the Nigerian team, and of course pay him for that consultancy. That is a pragmatic way to go.

Funny enough, I think Egypt will win this AFCON. I want Senegal to win it but my mind keeps telling me Egypt will win

Super eagles with out pretty and eye catching football played to the gallery but got knocked out in the 2nd round while Senegal with their kick and follow football made it to the finals

Cameroon and Bukina faso with their royal rumble football made it to the semis

Egypt with their conservative style made it to the finals

Mujtahida:

This is sophistry not real argument. Did we lose because we played "fancy football"? What was beautiful about the way we played? Was that beautiful football? Was the match against Tunisia beautiful football in your eyes?

Danielnino00:


Lol .. LiveScore fans..Then plenty everywhere.. Anybody that wants to label Eguavon a failure is doing so out of painment and not reality.

The main reason I'm supporting him to continue is because I saw a lot of improvement in the team under him.. Individually, some players like Simon, Ekong and Ndidi put in the kind of performance we have always wanted from them, while Aina and Aribo were given more freedom to roam. As a team, we pressed more, attacked better, retained possession better and moved the ball around better.. Even Eguavon's hardcore critics can't deny the facts on ground... One moment of bad luck doesn't mean there won't be better ones ahead.

I remember when Klopp took over from Rodgers in the middle of the season.. Our performance greatly improved with the same corp of players Rodgers was playing rubbish with..That same season we reached two cup finals but were unlucky to lose both. It didn't stop most of the fans from believing in Klopp..We know what happened afterward..

Eguavon is no Klopp, and I'm not saying we should give him 5 years like Rohr.. But looking at how good he made the team look despite having a short period of time and unavailable key players to prepare, I'd say he has earned the rights to another chance!
