This lose tonight really hurt me, hope i could get it off my mind and sleep peacefully.

Rohr has failed us because his too conservative, his too slow to make decision i wonder if the assistant is not talking sense into his cerebrum.

Have said it countless time on this thread and one popular monicker came for my head when i talked about mikel but i just ignore it because everyone is entitled to his or her opinion.

Mikel
Should always play beside Ndidi not AM role he was given by this clueless coach, mikel is a lazy player take it or leave it, no sort of urgency. He get tired easily i clamoured for him to be substituted as early as possible but them say NO.

Etebo

my own man of the match, the guy is a beast& baller, he should always play ahead he got the energy. If not for the position Rohr gave him, i would have prefer both him and iwobi swap position why mikel fall back

Rohr also lost it when he removed IWOBI, if you all noticed when he was removed there was no decent run forward or one two kind of play. There was no Creativity anymore so the team was left with Mikel.

Ighalo
Doesn't know how to hustle for the ball so that kind of player can't flourish as a lone striker.

Moses
I really don't know what to say but he fvked up big time! He was just falling it didn't help matters.
Let be honest he should have been substituted for Ahmed Musa

Ebuehi was also benched Mhen i weak for RoHr matter

Kudos to all the defenders they did their job just that luck wasn't also on our side



Soar High Eagles, we would definitely make it into round of 16 !!!!!!!



Lastly, ROHR IS DUMB and i see this boys not playing to instruction next match

Goke7:
and to think we still have onazi and joel obi for bench, ah Jesu christi, lobatan

. Joel Obi fit come score hat trick against Argentina oo

goldfish80:

These 3 teams have big tournament experiences. Island with Euros, Peru with Copa America, Australia with the Asian championship and 2014 world cup.

In our starting 11,only Mikel and Moses have big tournament experience for the Super Eagles. That should tell you everything

So how exprienced was Keshi's team?

By the way, Musa and Echiejile have been to the world cup before.

ChrisKels:
I just dey read comments dey Lol


The boys didn't fall to Croatia rather they felled to Rohr. Rohr defeated them single-handedly even before the match started with his crazy formation.

I get where you are coming from but it was the same formation that got us to the world cup. I remember getting bashed by some for even mentioning 3 @ the back, boy has time flown by.

darkelf:
You guys should see savage comments on other threads.

One guy even said that the Croatian keeper would not need a shower after the match

oh my God

At least, they can now slow down on the fashion and shaku shaku...And concentrate on winning (even though that looks like a tall order)

Martz101:


are you ok?

I don't engage in e-war.
How many successful pass? Very wlfe
How many diving? If he passed the ball we'll move forward and he'll have no reason to fake a fall.
How many successful crosses? Not much. You may say he didn't get much support from our RB.

In my opinion he was poor. You don't have right to ask if I'm ok. State why you disagree and move on.

Mikel suppose dey don commot for field latest 55 to 60 min thank God say Etebo help life for that middle if not ehn!!!!!

COOL10:


. Joel Obi fit come score hat trick against Argentina oo

if that happens, ronaldo should just forget winning WOPTY for this year

Hahaha.. u too give up early. Abi he talk say we go beat Croatia before?

Mujtahida:

Dem don slaughter Marcus sharperly ooo. Go cut your piece. Take udeme from the cellar and then come the loft make we tori under the stars jare.

Sportilitica:

If not for Moses tracking back, it would have been a disaster. Shehu might be good for Africa but this is the world cup

That is his job. He would have done the same for Tyrone. Shehu was never exposed name your moment of frailty so I can go back and check.

EEGA:
You talk as if Ebuehi was fully fit for the match.

Na u give am injury wey make am unfit? Shut up if u no get wetin to talk. Na Balogun wey pass let fitness test. Ebuehi was never injured at any point. He only had a simple nose bleeding about 4 days ago

Goke7:


the present players are not as bad as we think either, they are equally talented, yes they lack belief but it's down to the coach, is it not the same players like omeruo, onazi, mike, even moses that played under keshi, one thing players coached by keshi normally says is that he made them believed in themselves, even balogun who came into the eagles by keshi still said so on keshi's day of remeberance in an interview

Those talking of quality or talent are just not facing reality. Abeg tell me what Croatia played with all her talented players, abeg tell me how much talent the Iceland players have.

Look at Australia v star studded France. How was it for France,? Was it a walk over?

All we asked of them is to fight!!

kennysville:



Haaaa... our Weapon of Mass Destruction! Na im you scatter like that? No vex too much.
When folks were indulging the dude here saying he is our most potent threat, i talk am say make anybody no complain O. Una don dey see why being politically correct is why we couldnt win todays match

moses was our best player today, how do you watch your own football

Noooo bros

It's too late for that.

Just like Aina danced his way out of the squad, let them dance their way out of the competition

They are out and they know it

safarigirl:
this team was ruined more by the coach than players.

Forget experience

What did the experienced duo of Mikel and Moses play?

The Team as a unit lacks tournaments experience.

Do you know how many tournaments that Croatian team has played together?

Do you know how many tournaments the 94 team played together before the 94 WC? Same goes for the 98 lads.

The boys played well overall but school boys mistakes cost us.

Goke7:


are their foreign counterparts better? let's continue to deceive ourselves nah

You don't get my point: corrupt Nigerian coaches, inept foreign coaches = the same situation - we are the losers of everything

The problem is when you think getting out of a difficult group in the qualifiers guarantees u a place in the second round of the WC. Oga it’s a very different ball game o. The friendlies were meant to measure our readiness and plan to correct our mistakes. Truth is we never learned anything from our friendlies. Let’s stop talking about how we beat Cameroon as if they are in Group I.

BascoVanVeli:

BascoVanVeli:
Shehu did good and people are still making up lies about him being poor just to get Ebuehi in the squad.
My only problem was starting Ekong over Omerou and leaving Mikel on the pitch so long. We have to come to terms that Uzoho will make a mistake every match.

U fit tell me one mistake Uzoho made?

We can still qualify in my mind. I expected this loss although I would never openly accept defeat. Croatia is the best team is a our group and I am sure they can at least draw Argentina. Our destiny is still in our hands. We must still believe in our boys they didn't lose talent they must still be supported.

zoboizee:
Guys cheer up! They can't give what they don't have.
We all know the potential of each player & as a team.
They will be back soon. The current super eagles have nothing special to offer. They neither have the skill nor flair. Lower your expectation about them. Don't give yourself high BP over their matches. Watch their matches, laugh at their flaws & if they ever score a goal if ever, rejoice with them.

Can you imagine, just listen to yourself. So a team that has the likes of Victor Moses, Ndidi, Balogun, Iwobi, Simy even Ebuehi has nothing to offer, well, you have freedom of speech and can say whatever comes into your mind. Let us remove sentiments and conduct a reasonable analysis of our players. Tactics and the deployment of personnel at wrong positions is poisoning our play.

How many tournament experience Iceland team get bros?

This is their first WC same as us or am I missing something here?

I just tire for some excuses oo

We were mediocre bro and we just showed how mediocre we are as a country

BABA SHEHU was the weakest link in the team today!

Sportilitica:
We were so slow off the blocks. No urgency whatsoever, don't know why Mikel played for that long.
People blaming Ighalo are not being fair as he should have been used for the Iceland match and his physicality would have been appreciated. Iwobi on the flanks today did not make sense.
Shehu did not help the attack and struggled in defence.
Maybe Mikel should play DM and remain there.
To be honest I really did not believe we could win but to lose like this is unacceptable.
They need to redeem themselves and stay off social media abeg.
All this fashion and singing is for Nations cup standard.
This is the world cup.
I expect a response even if we do not qualify from the group. Show them them the Naija way of playing football not all these crap

Ighalo is a no no for me. Physicality without intelligence is a no no for me. He is physical but not intelligent. The world stage is beyond been physical. It's more of brain than brawl.

Look at how the Croats got away with their fouls on our players. An elbow on Balogun, not a single player called for a foul...they were all forming posh. The ref wouldn't have picked Ekongs foul if he was smart enough. He threw himself on the guy like a kid.


The Croats wanted to take out Moses. They kept fouling him yet non of our guys told him to go check the video. They were busy smiling.

We have a long way to go as a continent.

Rohr's formation and tactics killed us

This was a suicide... Croatia didn't even do much... Heck! They didn't have to...


Playing Iwobi on the wings is wrong...

Playing Mikel at AM is wrong

Playing Etebo in the CM is wrong

Heck playing 4-3-3 is wrong... You will self destruct by rendering all your players immobile

But if you must play 4-3-3 then by all means

Play Etebo from the left wing

Play Mikel in CM

And Play Iwobi in AM

Did Iceland not play in Euro 2016?Even reaching the Quarter finals.

Which tournament has this Rohr assembled team play?

Martz101:


moses was our best player today, how do you watch your own football

Is like you have taken 542!! Moses ke

So where did you put Etebo

kingphilip:
can you please name one of such mistakes mistakes so I look it up during the replay

I missed part of the match due to bad weather

You go look for the mistake tire. He made that up in his imagination. Defeat makes people see stars. Abeg Uzoho made no mistake whatsoever! I'm not Uzoho fan but anybody that says our defeat today is due to Uzoho making a mistake is hallucinating. Im don smoke gbana
