David Okereke is on fire, somebody call the fire service

Three Things Evident In Rohr’s 3-YearReign So Far As Super Eagles Coach
 31 July 30, 2019 4:08pm
Super Eagles of Nigeria may have failed in their bid to win the AFCON 2019, but they bagged a consolation – beating Tunisia to win the Bronze medal.
This provided a heart-lifting beginning for the super Eagles young and fringe players like Victor Osimhen, SamuelKalu, Alex Iwobi, among others.
As Nigeria fans look forward to a new era which the new generation of players will dominate, MATINS OBIWELUOZO takes a look at the three remarkable things thathave taken place since Gernot Rohr took charge of the Super Eagles in the summer of 2016.


1. Players Roles (Positions) Conversion
This has taken place in the super Eagles most especially under Gernot Rohr. Plyers like Chidozie Awaziem, Ola Aina, and John Ogu have seen themselves featuring in roles different from their normal positions.
Eagles lynchpin Oghenekaro Etebo has been converted from his main position to another one owing to his versatility on the pitch.
This may have produced positive results for players like Chidozie Awaziem and Ola Aina, particularly as the latter gavea good account of himself in the AFCON2019 Group B game against Burundi with a special assist for Odion Ighalo’sgoal.
But the same Rohr’s position conversion has affected John Ogu’s contribution to the team negatively and even made a player of his quality look rather average when he was moved to the left-back in a match, thus denying the Eagles a vital substitution option in the midfield.

2. Eagles’ Coach’s Seeming inferiority complex
Gernot Rohr’sreign has been marked by his consistent yielding of authority to the other teams even before the matches were played.
This has been the bane of the Super Eagles under the gaffer as it has affected Nigeria's approach to matches. For instance, imagine Rohr saying that south Africa were the favourite against Nigeria.
This is negative pre-match submission against an opposition, not befitting of Nigeria’s standards and position in African football.
Such a defeatist posture may have costthe Super Eagles a chance of advancing from the 2018 FIFA World Cup Group D – a relatively (negotiable) easy group made of a weak Argentina side, Croatia, andIceland

3. Conservative Formation LimitingEagles’ Real Potential

The Super Eagles are brimming with abundant talents as the quality in the squad speaks a lot for itself. But Rohr’s level of conservation might havelimited the team’sability tothrive in transition.
That scenarioplayed outto the disadvantage of the Super Eagles in the AFCON 2019 semifinal match against Algeria.
The manager has proven to Nigerians, thathaving a good set of players do not necessarily imply you will havea good team. It’ssad thatthe Super Eagles are in this situation, especiallywith the plethora of attacking talents available. The Gernot Rohr’s team could not even score fromopen play againstAlgeria.
This conservative measure were the reasons why the Eagles lost to Argentina 2-1 and drew1-1 with South Africa.
Rohr’suse of the 3-5-2 formation was a clear approachlimiting his team’sattacking strength as offensive players like Victor Moses (againstArgentina)and Samuel Kalu (against South Africa) were busy defending againstoppositions whom they would have confounded with a strong attacking impetus in the final third.

David Okereke is on fire, somebody call the fire service

Hello 911, this is an emergency! A young Nigerian is currently on fire and wrecking havoc on the streets of Belgium!!
We need your help urgently before he does further harm

TheSuperNerd:
But I am not Maastricht... Just don't know where that monicker popped up from back then.

Also, that Prof monicker just stole my reaction gif. I was gonna give almost same reaction to Tbaba1234's comment on youth team for K Nwakali. Can you imagine? Bia Oga T, take ya time ooo..

Lol Nerdy calm down, we the oldies in here new from the outset that it was u behind that handle, we just had to play along in order not to kill the fun, bkus of course, we were enjoying the updates as we had high hopes in Nwakali then, thinking he was gonna be the next Mikel.

In that case, the oldies know nothing. I don't have the time to open an alt and tag it Maastricht. But ofcos this is you just talking for yourself. Let the other oldies speak for themselves.
Same way I was also called another monicker I am not. It was funny then but no longer funny now. I am a busy mind. No time for such games.

edi287:
Zaragoza are pricing him out of a move. They apparently want 10m for him.

Just 10mill and nobody is willing to pay that? That means he may not be as good as you guys have always painted him

And what about the positives since he came on?

I pray for an oxyacetylene induced inferno, not just a mere fire. Dude should blaze on!!!!

charlesemeka85:
And what about the positives since he came on?

I didn't write the article...

U can outline the positives and post them here na..

Danielnino00:
If wishes were horses ..



Shebi u like Rohr?? Don't be surprised to see Musa and Simon retain their starting shirt next month...

the man doesn't even rate the Belgian league... Onyekuru, Kalu and Osimhen were in hot form in Belgium but weren't deemed good enough to start by Rohr...

And is it bad for Musa and Simon to keep playing?

charlesemeka85:
Igbekeme?

Yeah

Yea I know u weren't the brain behind the write but if you happen to come across where positives he brought on since coaching 5he team hope u will post it here as well

Danielnino00:

Which club wants to sign him?

jihday:
Yeah

ChrisKels:
Dennis Bonaventure is PROBABLY the most skilful
Nigerian footballer currently. He has so many
tricks in his sleeve, the only problem is that he
overdoes it and loses the ball in the process.
FC Brugges appear to be too strong for their
opponents in the Belgian league so far.



I agree with this assessment from Dammi

Cc CEF

He and that Ejike guy that just moved to Heereven.

andrew444:
3 goals already in just 2 games

If he keeps that consistency and scores 15 goals by December then he will be moving in the January transfer window. To bigger and better things.

Yea Ejike na another sleak and skillful player. Nawaooo super eagles future bright oooooo

edi287:

Exactly but the price tag will be heavy mehn lmao

komekn:

He was linked with Alaves.

Wow nice.

edi287:
He was linked with Alaves.

charlesemeka85:

Yep. We should be trying him as a 10.

Yeah thats true.

Yea he plays as an attacking midfielder too
