Leave Joachim Low alone, at least he has won a world cup title with his team. Direct your boot to the appropriate quarter of your immediate concerns-Nigeria!

We overate these guys expecting too much from a bunch of average guys who for majority of them, starting for their club is a matter of insha allah.

Rohr this and that as if other teams are going to be sleeping on the pitch because it is Nigeria.

With all due respect this is rubbish and a ridiculous summation of what we have been witnessing.

I'll cut to the chase:

1. 12 out of the 21 players in the Sierra Leone team play in their very poor domestic league which has been suspended for most of the year. You will never ever pick anyone of their players on merit ahead of even our worst player. This is not derogatory to them it is a statement of fact.

2. They are ranked 120 in the world for a reason, they are not a good side and lose a lot more than they win or draw football games.

3. The Sierra Leonians are offered far less by way of Reward for positive performances.

4. The local Sierra Leone manager who just thoroughly outwitted our expatriate coach and embarrassed us before the world has been in the job for less time than Rohr.

5. On a head to head basis (if this was a knock out qualifying format) we would have woken up this morning to the cold reality of being knocked out.

6. Relinquishing a 4 (FOUR!!!!) Goal lead against any opposition is strong evidence of either incompetence or negligence. Doing so at home to a team at the level of Sierra Leone is unpardonable.

7. The evidence of the teams regression from game to game is glaring.

8. This team built by Rohr is significantly weaker than the sum of its parts.

After the last two friendlies I wrote here that we are not yet in trouble but trouble may not be far away. Now we are even closer.

The Corona sh*t no dey Africa jare. Even the few that tested positive during the course of the qualifiers are the European based players. I can't recall any African based players testing positive.

Even Liverpool fans that were blaming Salah for getting infected don't know he probably got it before getting to Egypt and he has probably infected people he met at the wedding he attended, and it's not people at the wedding that infected him, due to the fact that he tested positive like one day after the wedding

things like this happen all time. Camerooun defeated star studded Argentina in the 1990 world cup. That you are better than a team does not mean that you will beat them all the time. All teams can show brilliance at any time. What makes a star team and star players what they are is consistency. They deliver good performances very often.

Whilst the critical example i made is the Sierra Leone game, my points consider several games. In 4 and a half years in the job overall Rohr has done an okay job. From here on in (starting at the 2019 AFCON) the team has been in terminal decline. We have two options. We can lower our expectations bar to suit the manager or we can get a manager who is capable of meeting our expectations bar as Rohr once did. The choice is ours, or Pinnick's really.

At this point I feel the future of our football lies solely in the hands of NFF
Either stick with rohr and risk not qualifying for the next mundial
Or sack rohr and appoint a CREDIBLE replacement... BTW even if NFF sack rohr I doubt they'll be able to appoint any worldclass manager
We may have an interim local coach for a while
If he performs well he may get the job full time

Just my thought though

I've called boots on Rohr for about 3 years now, so, what are you on about?

Sleeping on the pitch?? Why do we have to think very low of ourselves? Imagine a team on the top 30 in the world finding it impossible to beat a team ranked 120 over 2 legs.

thanks you have confirmed my suspicion that the goal was a clean goal. defender was clearly in front of KC using the line of the 6 yard box as a gauge while Iwobi was clearly onside before receiving the ball.

yes we can justifiably criticize rohr and his tactics but sometimes if balls like that go in are counted it can change the whole outlook of a match.

Mistake or ojoro.
Teams that know how to celebrate goals wildly may have been given. Just run like you've never scored a goal before. Then it would be difficult to call it offside.

That Algeria's protest after we drew them in Algeria was their morale boaster. NFF need to protest this so that referees/linesmen won't take us for a ride next time.
Sure it won't change the result but the culprit can be sanctioned. Imagine if this was last lap of world cup qualifier, that margin of error would have cost us.

it's not just about appointing managers. England, Saudi Arabia and South Africa among others have appointed 'world class' managers which didn't change their fortune in any way shape or form. sometimes as much as it's important to be diligent in choosing the right manager it could also be just praying for good fortune. i mean look at Morocco they hired a two time AFCON winner Herve Renard yet they failed at the AFCON and WC even though that Moroccan team has more talent than the Ivorians and Zambians that he won trophies with.

so my brother sometimes national team success as per choosing the right coach can be hit and miss.

if I was the fifa president, I will not allow any African referees in Fifa tournaments. If dem like they should shout racism. African referees are just too poor, and it's not very difficult to spot bias in their refereeing. In the match yesterday after all the time wasting, they added four minutes and did not even finish it before the ref blew the match over.

guy let's not deceive ourselves Rohr is not it when it comes to tactics. yes commentators might harshly denounce him because they have their own agendas but Gernot has refused to change.

i agree that sacking him might seem the easy solution especially when we're not even sure who will take over in these covid times when the NFF is still struggling to even pay his salary. My pragmatic take would be to ensure Yobo gets his coaching badges and encourage him and rohr to be more collaborative in terms of player selection and tactics. Westerhof was largely successful because of Bonfere Jo's input. let's hope this can help resolve our current situation.

So, Cameroon scored 4 consecutive goals against Argentina?

Big teams lose all the time, yes, but conceding 4 consecutive goals at their own home stadium to teams that are not supposed to have scored more than 1?

Turkey drew Germany 3:3 in Germany backyard. 45 placed Scotland beat Serbia to seal euro qualifications in Serbia's home. 60th placed Ecuador slammed 6 into Columbia's net yesterday.
