ObaOni:
Rohr is OK but his major problem is that he lacks the technical capacity to change game situation. He doesn't know how to exploit opponents weaknesses.

With the possession we had in the first half, Ndidi wasn't needed. Replace Ogu with Iwobi, at least Mikel and Etebo played together against Zimbabwe (our coach no dey learn anything).
For me Musa wasn't in that game, Onyekuru should have replaced him.

Why should we be using two DMs against Madagascar(with due respect)... so what will he use against Egypt !!

What's d point in talking 23 players to a tournament and you keep using a set of 16...
Even if Nigeria win or draw the game, I'm not totally comfortable with the use of the players, especially today's game.

brenister10:


And when last has he scored from a set piece?

Earthquake3:


The problem is we didn't look like scoring

A decent defence will withstand our blunt attack

TheSuperNerd:
TheGoodJoe is even captain of this team. He is with us. Mickael2 is also in this camp. Truly Rohr will not take us to the promised Land.

I know his positives and I have praised it severally...BUT... He is not just brave enough and inventive enough to make the best use of the rise of another golden pool of young super talents in Nigerian football.

I have given the man time. He is not our Joshua.

Joebie:
Hopefully after this tournament is over we will all be in the same camp that Rohr cannot take our football forward. He has done his best -- assembling a young team.

HZwriters:


pls what really happened to the SE , was it lack of motivation?

mank1234:


You're dreaming bro. I had such believe before the world cup. I'm back from dream land. Rhor cannot win a tournament. He will always qualify to a tournament but cannot win it.

His mindset is fixated on not wanting to concede than on wanting to score. That 4 nil bashing of Cameroon was just coincidental.

fabyom:
I am happy we lost at this stage.
This is the type of defeat that spurs team to success.
There is no cause for alarm, we lost to two fortuitous goals despite changing almost all our regular Midfielders.
We are winning this AFCON.

Goke7:

He is not a tournament coach, some of us have said this before. we have no business loosing this game just like the last group game against Argentina in the world cup. I thank God this has happened.

Again I will continue to have issues with us having foreign coaches, are we truly sure they are better than our local coaches?

Hanibal:
At the end of 45mins... We had 64% possession, what the Bleep was the Ndidi sub on all about?
We had ... Osimhen: 20goals, onyekuru: 16goals. 36goals worth of talent on the bench!!
We were 1 goal down, and Mr Rohr decided to introduce a Dm?
I wish I could shoot him dead right now.

Meliforme:
No you need a player who he is an opportunist, a player with good positional sense, a player who can sneak in unnoticed and score. You saw what Onyekuru did against seychelles.

ChrisKels:


Senegal lost to Algeria, CIV to Morocco and Nigeria the best team in ur text book lost to the African champions, the Barea and u still get mouth to give ur usual excuses. I hail u

TheSuperNerd:

After Mikel's horror show as AM in the Burundi game I was hoping Rohr will see the bloody truth. Play Mikel as your deep lying CM!!!! "Mbanu," says Rohr.

Now to this game, I told you it was obvious Ogu was gonna sit deep with Etebo to play mobile CM. But Rohr f**ked that up too. We who analyse this game keenly know Ogu should be DM in this set-up but Rohr mixed it all up. And you are right, player roles also contributed to this loss.

Rohr doesn't seem to know how best to fit in players and into what system. He may have gotten a few picks right but in other key areas he has flunked. This is why he cannot get the best outta Iheanacho... And now a Chukwueze. Rohr lacks attacking invention and bravery. It is nauseating. Siasia with this team may concede against Madagascar but he won't serve us this rubbish loss. Siasia will beat Madagascar blue black and green!


Nonsense and Rohr!!!

DrLikita12:


Madagascar played as a team, we didn't. Like I said, quality players who play as a team.
Regardless, after AFCON we are going to need to replace a few players and look for options for other positions. We're likely not going to be sourcing players from Thailand's second decision.

Meliforme:
I follow Onyekuru's games in the Turkish league. Onyekuru's tricks and style of play enables him to score even in tight spaces. Ask me how.

enomakos:
no
they lost to a bettèr team

nairalandankrah:
Honestly, you can get your tactics right but if you get your personel wrong, you will loose...
I think after this afcon, Rohr should quit

edi287:

He had no other choice. We would've been slaughtered on the break if he brought on an attacking player for Mikel.
He should never have started both Ogu and Mikel since he has no idea on how to utilize him.

edi287:

I personally would've stopped playing Mikel as a 10 after the WC.
I don't know what our so called "Chief/Head Coach"(Rohr is TD) is doing - but they need to be sacked. You can't leave the tactical side of things to Rohr especially with the new generation of players we have coming through.
Some will say we're overreacting over this loss but they need to go back and check their history.

Joebie:
I don't know which comes first. But with what we have, it's not impossible to play as a team. The coach gets the blame after tutoring this team for almost 3 years or so now. This coach cannot do better even with more quality players

Sadiqali24:
let's tell ourselves the true, we have average players.

raindodger13:


Madagascar are not better. It was a combo of poor player selection, bad tactics & lightning striking ltwice in the same place for Madagascar.

ChrisKels:


I am a Barca fan, so I know how to break down even the worst parked buses.

BTW ur argument holds no water bkus the players u fancy and the style u fancy to open up the play were all there and could not do nada.


That said, the only guy that could have tried to shoot accurately from outside the box wasn't there - KeleMessi NachoMbapoe

ChrisKels:


This team is better than all the teams we have played so far. They are winning us convincingly, not scrappily. Open ur eyes mister

enomakos:
for a team making their debut and finishing ahead of us in the group?

darkelf:


You guys are just looking for excuses for Mikel.

Play him as AM or CM, Regista or box to box, Deep lying playmaker or advanced forward, he isn't the same player he used to be. In truth, he was always an above average player. I said it. You can't depend in a player like that. He isn't C. Rinaldo or Messi or Van Digk. He is above average at best. Hope we learn from this
