people tire me for this thread nor be small...
should 90% of the teams heading for afcon have a player like Awoniyi and Oshimen I am so sure he will make their 23 man list and may even play top 9 for some top countries too.

here some Rohr friends are writing off the team...especially oga icon4s.

a player that could score over 20 goals for a modest Belgian club in a season...
give that player to teams like Ghana watch him play.

oshimen is a good finisher...he will surely compliment ighalo...as long he is never short of supplies from the midfield dude will deliver....

emenike prior the 2013 afcon was playing in Russia I think and I am not sure he scored up to 20 goals then.
doing well in major tournaments like afcon is a more of bravery

You make sense broda

Emenike highest league goal a season was 13 goals in spartak Moscow and emenike is better than all we have now

I am a big fan of ighalo

But osimhen is a very good finisher

Osimhen will make all the teams in this 2019 afcon squad easily ,either starter or as a backup

andrew444:


So because he is young he will be bullied ?

How many Epl defenders have bullied Gabriel Jesus or rashford due to their small stature and they are still very young ?

African football na jam bodi oh.
Afcon no tey again, we go see am live.

If the only thing Nigerians learn from Rohr is how to talk to the media I will be happy. I think this is a bad mentality. You do your talking on the pitch leave the rest to pundits and fans. You don't need to fire up your opponents with talk there is no award for that.

komekn:


Osimhen has played essentially his first season of first team football. He yet to be proven let's be realistic good potential. But he is not playing for Real Madrid he is playing in the Belguim league and not for the best team.

And people want to compare him with Ighalo.

My preference is for Onuachu more experienced should not be over come by the occasion and gives us more options up front.

Gbam

jihday:
I can see some people whining about Ighalo, somebody that still played about 2/3 weeks ago, not months o and he's resumed training ahead of tournament that will start in over one week time, what exactly is the problem there? players have knocks and they come back from it fully fit. I know weytin they pain some of una, it's because if he had been dropped your favorite boy would have been picked sorry Ighalo will start at Afcon and he'll surely bully Burundi

Loud it.

Earthquake3:


You can have 14,16 year old giants

But you rarely have 12 year old giants, I think they start sprouting from 13

This is another picture of the boy. His name is Ibrahim Sow

He is standing here with a white team mate of his, they are obviously of similar heights, but I bet no one will ask of the white kid's age

Lucque:
Some of u guys here never cease to amaze
wen some coaches brag abt their teams nd how they will go all d way to win games nd trophies... Ud come here nd start saying they only know how to brag or wag their mouths..
Rohr is talking small nd removing d pressure off d players nd allowing dem play their football free of d burden of expectation nd u ppl are complaining...
Lemme ask those smart enof to think... Has rohr ever played defensively or played a formation dat looks like we want to sit back nd take a beating even tho he always says we arent favorite??

If u believe dat just because d coach says we arent favorites it will make d players want d trophy any less den ur just not thinking straight

Nd if u believe he will not lose his job if he performs poorly with d team just becos he is calming down expectations den ur just a learner (No offense?)

So ppl should just chill
Abeg gustav gimme dat ur L picture

Some of us have tried to make the others understand this, to no avail.

Oga don't say what I did not say.

I didn't write the entire team off I don't just have confidence in our centre forward options. Same way I felt before the WC.

Because he is a black kid then he must be an age cheat. Black mentality.

Icon4s:

it is sad that black people are the ones promoting this narrative the most.

They are circulating the most damning pictures of him, with the poor angles, none of which shows his facial features, just so everyone will conclude he is older. Even more, they have him next to some little boy, to make him look even bigger, not with the other taller boys in the squad.

Grown men are mocking this kid out of ignorance, and they think it's cool. They never bothered to investigate, they are spreading his pictures online and insinuating he's an age cheat without caring about how this child will feel when he sees all the comments about his age.

Shameful, especially from black people.

So you want him to go all over the media bragging on his team will run rags on teams and win the afcon With no stress? Weldone sir!

Joebie:
On a second thought, Rohr is being realistic based on the the quality of the players at our disposal. He is not trying to raise expectations. However, if he believes himself as a tactician he would have high ambitions. He never does, sadly

My brother if you ask me, We are going to this AFCON with a blunt attack.

Blunt attack? Really?

France 2019: 3 of the 3rd placed teams are still on 0pts. Meaning the best they can get is 3pts that we already have. The Falcons may still qualify if they lose to France by a slim magine.

Rohr : Super Eagles Will Fight Hard To Win AFCON 2019 Title
Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr has stated that the team will give their all to win a fourth Africa Cup of Nations title in Egypt, reports Completesports.com.

The three-time African champions who missed the last two editions of the tournament were drawn in a significantly weak group alongside Guinea, as well as the duo of Madagascar and Burundi who are set to participate in their first ever AFCON.

Hosts Egypt, Senegal and Morocco are among the favourites to win the competition but Rohr insists the Super Eagles will fight hard to win the title.

“This team has a good mixture of youthfulness and experience. The atmosphere in and around the team is very good. We are also working very hard in training,” Rohr disclosed in a video interview on the official Twitter handle of the Super Eagles.

“We gave good strikers and good defenders in the team. For now, we don’t know who our number one goalkeeper will be. We have to decide that after two weeks of preparation.

“I think our major strength is in the solidarity team. The players are willing to help each other out. We have eight new players in the team, which can help us at the end of the day.

“The experience of Obi Mikel will also help us. Everyone is happy that he is back in the team because they all want him back. I just hope we won’t have any injury problem going into the competition.

“It’s important not to put pressure on the young players, but I can assure that we will work and fight hard in Egypt. We will do everything we can to win the trophy.

“Sometimes, you need the help of God of football to achieve your objective. We want to win it for Nigerians but it important to also stay humble. We will fight till end to win the trophy. ”

After their final friendly match against Senegal in Ismailia Stadium on Sunday, the Super Eagles will depart for Alexandria, where they will play all their Group B games.

Nigeria will play Burundi on June 22 followed by fixtures against Guinea and Madagascar, on June 26 and June 30 respectively.

SHARPSHOOTERS SHOWDOWN IN GROUP B AT AFRICA CUP OF NATIONS


The sharpest shooters in 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying, Odion Ighalo of Nigeria and Fiston Abdul Razak of Burundi, will come face to face in Group B at the finals this month.

While Ighalo and his Super Eagles teammates are favoured to top the four-nation table and advance to the knockout stage in Egypt, Abdul Razak and the Swallows may struggle.

Burundi are the lowest ranked of the 24 sides at the June 21-July 19 tournament and the best they can be expected to hope for is third place below Nigeria and Guinea and above Madagascar.

The countries finishing first and second are guaranteed round-of-16 slots while the best four of the six third-placed teams also qualify.

Here, we run the rule over the Group B hopefuls and assesses their prospects in the biennial African football showpiece:

BURUNDI
The tiny central African country secured a first appearance at the expense of favoured Gabon despite drawing four of six qualifiers.

Algeria-based Abdul Razak starred with six goals at an average of one per match – a total bettered only by Ighalo, who netted seven times.

But having tormented the defences of Mali, Gabon and South Sudan, can he wreak more havoc against the stronger Nigerian and Guinean defences?

Olivier Niyungeko, who has succeeded where a string of foreign coaches failed, chose Burundians based in 13 countries and also picked one local, goalkeeper Jonathan Nahimana.

Verdict: an early exit looms

GUINEA

A squad coached by Belgian Paul Put hope poor dress rehearsals will be transformed into a grand opening night against Madagascar.

Warm-up losses to lower-ranked opponents the Gambia and Benin in Morocco could sow self doubts and there has also been the distraction of injured midfield star Naby Keita.

He injured a thigh playing for Liverpool at Barcelona in the Champions League semifinals and admits to "not yet being fully fit".

Put, who took outsiders Burkina Faso to the 2013 final, will expect a lot from Ibrahima Traore, a winger based in Germany whose footwork can bewilder even the tightest defences.

Verdict: Quarterfinals a realistic goal

MADAGASCAR

Like Burundi, the Indian Ocean islanders who are making their Cup of Nations debut will eye third place and qualification as one of the four best teams in that position.

French coach Nicolas Dupuis has worked wonders with a side that got to Egypt by finishing above Equatorial Guinea and Sudan, and he also coaches a lower-league club in his homeland.

He believes practice makes perfect, saying: "Madagascar used to play three or four matches a year and were going nowhere. We now make full use of every international window."

Dupuis has also convinced France-born Thomas Fontaine, Romain Metanire, Jerome Mombris and Jeremy Morel to represent a country they are linked to through parents or grandparents.

Verdict: reaching second round would complete a fairytale

NIGERIA

The three-time champions are back at the Cup of Nations after unexpectedly lifting the trophy in 2013 and then failing to qualify for the next two editions.

They should take advantage of a kind draw and cruise into the second round, but Nigerian supporters will expect much more from a team coached by experienced German Gernot Rohr.

When the Cup of Nations was last staged by Egypt in 2006, the Super Eagles finished third behind the host nation and the Ivory Coast.

Apart from former Watford forward Ighalo, Spain-based Samuel Chukwueze could be a major threat having scored regularly for Villarreal in La Liga last season.

Verdict Anything less than a semifinal place will be considered failure
