Fun fact: The last time Augsburg won Bayern in Buli, Chelsea won the league

Ibime:
Silva no do anything jor.

Something told me not to sell Rudiger for Chilwell yesterday. I done hammer

At least CS sure for Silva. I just hope Regullion go keep CS, maybe contribute offensively.

And I go sell Silva for Regullion this morning o

Wetin dey burst my brain na how La Cobham dey represent for this squad.

James
CHO
RLC
Chalobah
Mount

Honourable mentions... Gallagher, Broja, Livramento (yes, I know say we sell am )

Joezinho:
I love this kit. I might get it.

Kit too make sense.

timay:
Poor career choice. She made that move early. Even Man utd that doesn't have too much players, she doesn't start every game and even if she did she can't play more than 60 mins because she gets tired out easily in games and start strolling.

She needed regular game time to build that game endurance and fitness. But her father bottled the chance just to make a statement of Brother and sister playing in the same team.

Hopefully, she still fufils her potential because I really like her.

I really hope things work out well for her. She is very talented. You can see her quality the few minutes she came on in the Champions league game vs Servette.

I don't think it's her father wanting to make a statement. Emma Hayes needed her and she wanted that Chelsea move so it worked out for everyone...

The games are coming thick and fast. Hayes knows how to give everyone game time (just like Tuchel) so I know she will get her opportunity. It's just up to her to grab that opportunity.

It will be interesting to see a James - Kerr - Kirby Frontline..

Yellow kit debut!

KTBFFH!

BlueMann:
One of the most talented young players in the WSL, if not women's football as a whole. Hope she reaches or surpasses her pre-injury form ASAP. Our squad is seriously stacked, but her versatility should see her get valuable minutes.


Dem get body for their family sha

That Kerrby connection (Kerr and Kirby) go really limit her chances to start games. Harder dey there plus England and even Lepoulz.... That's squad too stack mehn...

My fav player na Fran Kirby... That girl too sabi ball.

Made her long awaited debut last night....Had a wonderful chance to score a debut goal but slipped at the last moment.

Reece was there to support her.

Izzou see wetin you do a whole Igwe

I repeat, no player is above dragging. Na make dem never remember you.

popizaino:
Is this also not an output ?

Which kind output be this?

donstan18:

No too blame Joezinho. Him no know how important Drogba dey for us that season

Ibime you no fit drag me unto Super Eagles matter

I'm not a fan.

Joezinho:
And what about ivanovic's winning goal against napoli? Or Ramirez goal against barca?

Who assisted that goal?

donstan18:
Starting from 3:1 down to Napoli.

I’ve not even talk about how it took us the last game to qualify from the group.

Then Pep’s Barcelona the best team in the world then. Bayern? Their home ground.

Imagine removing Drogba’s impact from those games.

Valencia away.

Drogba brace.

BlueMann:
Whenever I think of a potential replacement - specifically a foreign coach - Herve Renard is the first name that comes to mind.

I think he's with Saudi Arabia now though.

He is with Saudi. This is the coach we should have snapped in 2016.

Tested and trusted in the African terrain.

HewlettPackard:
It's time we bury this "Drogba won us the UCL" mantra.

Baba single-handedly cost us the trophy in 08. Was about doing same again in 2012 if not for Cech brilliance. DD has admitted himself that we won that CL thanks to Cech.

Quote me where I said Drogba won us the UCL please.

@bolded.... If I ask you how he singlehandedly cost us 08 now, you will mention red card. Was it his red card that slipped Terry? Was it his red card that made Anelka play that weak penalty? OK wait, if he had not gotten the red card, he would be the PK taker instead of Terry, abi? How are you sure he will score for certainty?

So Drogba singlehandedly cost us 08 but didn't win us 12 continue..

HewlettPackard:
Na de Lima as in R9 somebody call clown?

hmm

Like Donstan advice him, he should. Know his boundary when trolling.

In as much as R9 is one of the best strikers in the last 3 decades (arguably the best sef), you cannot use someone who didn't win UCL to troll who won it as the key man in the pitch.

Make we know how to troll sometimes. No player is above dragging.

DissTroy:
Let's say he's gone; who'd you replace Rohr with? An available coach. If you can't think of any with a better pedigree, then he should stay put.

You don't find coaches with pedigree just available like that. Talking of pedigree, does Rohr even have pedigree to start with?

Hervé Renard is a tested and trusted name in African football. I think he was even available in 2016 when Rohr was appointed.

Nigeria is big enough to attract any name it wants. Ordinary Congo DR is coached by Hector Cuper, a former Inter and Valencia coach.

The politics in NFF won't allow them do the tight thing. They want who they can control, a puppet. Rohr fits that profile so they are okay with him qualifying us to tournaments, finish. No trophy, no problem.

How many times have you seen or heard that Rohr sit down in the stadium and watch NPFL matches? Or you think his job is just to fly into Nigeria 5 or 6 times the National Team have fixtures for the year? How can you be coaching Nigeria from your sitting room in Germany?

Bros forget.

DissTroy:
The exact sentiments which ushered in Sunday Oliseh, and we all know how it ended.

Rohr has been reported to have list of players he has to pick from due to some influential lobby groups within the NFF. He's been reported to be owed at times or splitting his take-home package. Nothing has been done about these allegations or rumours. And he barely complains.

No top-tier coach would want to work under such conditions. Rohr is the best we can get given those conditions.

Speculations. I don't argue speculations.

I'm not a Super Eagles fan, just to make it clear. But if Nigeria wants to move forward, Rohr has to go.

Ibime:
Have you checked Senegal and Algeria squad. Senegal have World Class players in almost every position from Goalkeeper to forwards. Algeria also have them French league ballers aplenty

All I know is before Rohr, we failed to qualify for 3 out of 4 AFCONS. Rohr has had the best run of any coach in 2 decades. Only a Mahrez freekick and some extremely poor refereeing against Argentina seperates him from our best results ever. Take it or leave it.

And all I know is that I don't care what happened that bracket of years you mentioned. My own is, don't mention Rohr in the same sentence with Westerhof who completely transformed the game in Nigeria. It's an insult to him.

And have we become so mediocre as to celebrate qualifiers?

If Super Eagles had scored 2 or more goals, Mahrez free kick would have been inconsequential. So that's not even an excuse. Poor refereeing has always been our excuse when Nigeria lose match. Those years you mentioned, I can pick out poor officiating which cost Nigeria matches. So no go there.

Why should Rohr recall Ighalo? Are we lacking in the striker department? What message are you sending to Onuachu and Co? They are not good enough, abi?

Rohr has to go. Man has reached his ceiling. He can't go higher than what he is doing right now.

How can a team not be able to string 5 to 6 passes together from defence to attack? Haba...

We don't have the best players playing for the best clubs in Europe but we have seen coaches transform average players to winners.

I don't care who replace him, but Rohr has to go.

Ibime:
Calm down, when we were using local coaches ear and dear, that's when we started seeing Super Eagles fail to qualify for AFCONs and World Cups.

Rohr has been a steady hand so far, with knowledge of the players and a merit based squad, unlike before where we would be seeing rubbish and old players who obviously paid bribe to get in.

The way NFF failed to integrate our Olympic team of 2008 until that team expired, fielding much worse players who had paid bribe should be fresh in our memory.

Let Rohr take us to AFCON and WC jare. People forget Westerhof was in post for 5 years before the 1994 run. Rohr knows his players and picks the best legs, just like you could predict Westerhof team. I don't want to go back to the days of seeing random players everytime I watch Super Eagles.

Don't insult Westerhof by mentioning Rohr in the same sentence with him

Pre 1994, everyone can see the improvement in Super Eagles play. The player exports to Belgium and France was thanks to Westerhof. The football was pleasing to the eye.

What significant improvement have Rohr made since 2016 he came on board? You can only point to the fact that Rohr qualify us to tournaments nowadays "without using calculator", but ask yourself, is that how low we have gone? To celebrate qualifiers? Haba...

Super Eagle have absolutely no identity since Rohr. What is his style of play? What is his philosophy? Recently he started playing 3 at the back and I laugh. Because 3 at the back is kind of the in thing now, Rohr have joined the train. Man doesn't have a defined pattern of play.

I was so disappointed Cape Verde didn't do a Serbia on us yesterday

What's the use of qualifying to third round only to get disgraced by Senegal, Algeria and co?

BlueMann:
Yeah he is

And from what I hear, Senegalese refs are just the worst

Him wan revenge wetin dem do Senegal for that 2018 qualifier

pamcode:
This one sef dey sha but there should be a committee handling such matters.

They should do anything possible to get justice for South Africa. That decision singlehandedly ended their World Cup aspiration.

So sad for African football.

iamoyindamola:
Yes that was South Africa v Senegal
Koulibally was wrongly judged by the referee for a PK that was Russia 2018 qualifiers

Yes. That's the match.

South Africa involved again

But wait o, it's like this Ghana v South Africa ref is from Senegal o

donstan18:
Since Chelsea failed to signed Roberto Carlos and Marcelo, he’s been hating on our LB and RB.

That Popi cappings don dey too much

Person wey call Varane old

iamoyindamola:
I don't think they use var in qualifiers
I doubt they can get a favourable feedback

There has been a match replayed in Africa qualifiers before because of bad officiating. Can't really remember the match but I know something like that happened.

South Africa can get a favorable feedback if they follow it well.

The only thing is, because CAF president is from South Africa, people will criticise the judgement that he has used his power to overturn the result.

iamoyindamola:
I read the news on BBC then went on to watch the highlight
African referees are something else, unfortunately CAF is also useless
S.A are ready to appeal

They will appeal. And I need them to follow that case bumper to bumper. That match should be replayed.

I no watch the match too. Na just the highlights I see. Mehn I just weak.

popizaino:
Is Busquet a Chelsea player? How does his goals and assists improve us from Barca ?

Why do you always like to cap?

We have the equivalent of Trent (James) balling hard for us this season, yet you are comparing our LB to a RB.

Why not compare Robertson output to Chilwell this season?

iamoyindamola

Did you watch Ghana vs South Africa? Did you see that penalty awarded to Ghana?

That ref needs to lose his badge.
