"It’s worrying that Nigeria managed only a single shot on target against Madagascar. Their attack was easily snuffed out by defenders playing in French football's fifth tier. There wasn’t a sniff at goal for Henry Onyekuru, a forward who scored 14 times to help Galatasaray win this past season's Turkish League. Nor for the highly-gifted Victor Osimhen.
In midfield, the Super Eagles were truly featherweight. They lacked creativity. It was evident even to a bat that captain Mikel John Obi is unfit to compete. The 33-year-old, who recently signed a two-year-contract with Trabzonspor, was drained almost empty during his five-month spell at Middlesbrough. Clearly, he’s still recuperating and shouldn’t be starting matches.
How about playing Oghenekaro Etebo in central midfield? That’s another huge blunder Rohr keeps making. The 23-year-old was named Stoke City Player of the Year due to his speed, drive and abilities in the final third. Deploying him deep is like keeping a lion caged. Etebo is actually a better attacker than Arsenal's Alex Iwobi.
In the goalkeeping department, Rohr remains confused. He stuck to Francis Uzoho at the World Cup, meaning everyone thought he’d found his first choice. But the German later dropped the Spanish-based shot-stopper. Even now, he can't choose a number one between Daniel Akpeyi and Ezenwa.
Rohr has got his system mixed up. A tactical expert would have trouble detailing Nigeria's play. The laxity on show is quite scary. Particularly for ardent Super Eagles fans.
Nigerians are erring by roasting Leon Balogun alive. The defender can’t give what he doesn’t have. It’s Gernot Rohr who must be called in for serious stick."

To be honest, I don't care who plays at this point, all I want is a win. Morocco played nice and fanciful football but they are on their way home. If he like he should use Akpeyi to strike and Ighalo to play left back. Just win!!

forgiveness:


Why una no complain since before today?

Because I personally thought he was a great coach. But time has exposed him. That was how he benched Ebueyi at the Word Cup. A player that torn Argentina to threads during our friendly.

He's been getting the result, yes! That's not enough. We suppose dey dominate Africa with the abundant talent at our hands.

That South Africa coach, or Renard, if they had the talent Rohr has, they will be champions of Africa back to back to back. �

Not even forgetting the ones that are yet to join the train.

I'm here, thinking about Rohr, what manner of man is this?

Chucks shouldn't be on the bench. A player that tore Baca and Madrid defemce offside down? Benched by an oversabi dulladinho. �

But what do I do? I'm just an armchair analyst like some would say here. �

Now, you guys can understand why I have NEVER been a big fan of Rohr even after he qualified us for the World Cup against all odds. The man has good organizational ability but technically he's naive. He doesn't know how to use his players to get the best out of his players. He doesn't understand the right tactics and style of play to employ against specific opponents.

If I were the NFF, I would definitely get rid of him after the AFCON - win or lose. Actually, I would've fired him after the last World Cup sef. We need to employ a technically sound coach start grooming these young up and coming players for the 2022 World Cup.

My brother, finger crossed .

The best we can do is to wish them good luck

I have given very serious thought to this lineup and I feel it might not be a bad idea.

Simon's passing ability might limit this formation. Nice one though

Mind your language oga.

If you had sense you would understand what the writer meant. He meant that they weren't (haven't even been) tested on the field of play.

Very bad idea as I won't bench Iwobi and put Moses Simon there

PurpleHouse:


That says it all.

Nigeria is too loaded upfront to be coached by a defensively minded mediocre.

Plus we are a traditionally attacking country.

i will be okay with any Rohr's formation cos i can't do anything to change it .... what i just want from our wingers is speed and someone who can move the ball to the defence of the camerounian. i watched all their three matches , they are so slow and indecisive passing the ball around ... we need someone to take the fight to them .


expecting a boring Match if we play their style .

O guardian of sense, Understander of random online articles. Radarada

Goodluck to the SE today but me thinks the Cameroonians would need the luck today, i dont even know one Cameroonian player that give me the creeps ok, onana, but that one is a keeper now, and he is no De Gea....

thank you rorh for giving me no hope
I go watch match happily without expection

Not a bad line up but is Jamilu Collins still injured? I was hoping that Collins should play LB while Aina moves to his natural RB and Awazien goes to the bench.

Why is it so hard for you people to support the team irrespective of whoever starts?

You are not the manager. He sees these players during training and he only knows the best players for his tactics and strategies.

Y'all should quit the whining
