Ex Footballer, Finidi George Faults Coach Gernot Rohr Over AFCON Qualifiers Squad
March 12, 2021
Former Super Eagles player, George Finidi, has faulted coach Gernot Rohr’s squad list for Nigeria’s 2022 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Benin Republic and Lesotho. On Tuesday, March 9, the German coach released a 24-man list that included Super Eagles captain, Ahmed Musa, who has been without a club since leaving Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr last October. Genk striker Paul Onuachu, who has scored just once in seven appearances, has failed to replicate his club form for the national team. For his club, he has scored 26 goals with three assists in 30 games across all competitions. Speaking with Punch, George Finidi admitted that Musa is a quality player who has done a lot for the country but should not be on the list on the basis of form or fitness. The 49-year-old former winger also questioned the process of inviting players to the national team before saying that striker Paul Onuachu’s poor form with the Eagles has been down to poor coaching. “Coaches should be made to defend their list when they come up with names that are questionable. Coaches should not be left alone. “They should be made to explain how they arrived at certain decisions on who they invite. Journalists should question the names on the list.” “I have a problem with his list, selecting centre-backs as midfielders and right-backs in the midfield.” “In the case of Paul Onuachu, who was snubbed, if you want a player to perform, you set up your formation in a way to make him comfortable. He has struggled largely because of poor coaching.” “This is Rohr. The coach you expect to take us to the World Cup and win the AFCON. If he was a Nigerian that made these decisions, we would critique him, but here’s a coach who is supposedly very experienced, the choices are questionable.” The Super Eagles will face Benin in Porto Novo on March 27 before facing the Lesotho three days later in their final 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere, on March 30.

BascoVanVeli:
That is what I should be asking u since u are the age doctor

So the guardian just happens to take her to meet a player and not get in the picture So na only her like better thing ba. This is Spain we are talking about. If she is a minor u will definitely see her guardian in the picture. Not because they are the guardian but because they would also want a picture with a player from their club.

Ok Guardian doctor

BascoVanVeli:
Yes it does. She will not be allowed back where the players are unless she is an adult or is with one.
Anybody could have written that. For starters she is Spain where English is obviously not the first language. So we are not expecting Shakespeare.

What about the picture suggests that she's not with a guardian, because the guardian is not in the picture?

BascoVanVeli:
How do u know? I see no parent or guardian in sight

Does that mean she's not around that age reconcile the words on that cardboard with the face then you'll know how old she is

Amad Diallo is so proud of his Ivorian heritage

smartsmith0907:
Apart from Ndidi, ajayi is the our next DMF, rohr invited onyeka he floopped his chance, same with tijani,esiti quite sad yunno and about azubuike rohr doesn't rate him...he needs to do something extra ordinary to be considered so right now we stick with Ndidi and ajay

You must be a comedian

Aribo starts for Rangers in the Europa league

kellycute:
. Even the babe just dey look am with one kind eyes. Fear women!

Fear women, that kid is not up to 15 years

maidaboi:
you are seeing what I am seeing bro he have been impressive recently

Yea he has speed and is direct, he may work well with Onuachu

Nathan Tella would make a very good backup to Chukwueze

Hassenhuttle is surely going to fear for his job if they conceed 9 again

5

Mahrez is flogging Southampton, are they going to conceed 9 again

Nathan Tella comes on

Bernardo Silva is a machine

lloydtruth:
From what I have gathered seems the Olise on standby is not Michael Olise of reading, rather Olisa Ndah of Nigerian League.

Hmm Olisa Ndah retweeted this

damagnificentusb:
It was like a final!. Those porto player that played out there today have gat nerve of steel. Just BRAVO porto BRAVO!

The game was like a game of highlights

If you no watch this match you miss

Clint02:
Will you be saying this if the rule favours you?

No I'm not a Cr7 fan but the rule is stupid

I think away goals rule is stupid, how can you be awarded an advantage because you scored in a particular stadium?

What an incredible match, Porto worked hard for their win

He promises, he delivers

Haaland is the real golden boy

Juventus are playing a similar style to Man city, they overload the left hand side and leave a spare player in Cuardardo at the right hand side

That is not a penalty

Zaidu is bullying these guys

It's Champions league night you know what that means

Leon balogun is a Champion

smartsmith0907:
Yeah
Do we have other better DMF at the moment

That is an insult to Ndidi, Onyeka, Azubuike and any other half decent dm, the guy was a calamity in dm the last time he played there

Where are they?

Shehu, Musa and Sadiq the three players that should not have been invited

Hmm

Why was Olise in the standby list if he will not be captied, isn't it alerting the French federation and other affiliated countries?

I thought Pinnick and the NFF know what they're doing but apparently they are a bunch of buffoons

smartsmith0907:
Ajayi
Ndidi.
Shehu
Etebo
Iwobi
Aribo

Ajayi is a midfielder to you?
