Curtisaxel7: I noticed it too. Everything Rohr said there is what any layman would say. No comment on tactics and strategy. No in-depth game analysis, nothing. Just rambling about nothing.....
In many ways Rohr reminds me of Buhari. Old, dull, slow to react, unintellectual, incoherent of speech and seemingly unaware of events happening around them.
ChrisKels: A loss against Eagles would av cost Baxter his job, Baxter had a meeting with Rohr last month in London, Rohr came up with a suspicious list of players to prosecute the match, he chose a questionable line up and he was all Smiles when calls were going against his team. Yet, some ppl wanna tell me, nothing happened behind closed doors? If only this nonsense was done by a local coach
ChrisKels: Buh after every-every, Percy Tau is a baller. He made a mistake changing his position to from Omeruo's side to Balogun who was having a good game, otherwise, he would have stung us more than he did.
Like I av always said, Collins is a liability, poor defending, wanting in attack, poor marking, poor ball sense. I dont see anything good in this boy, bar his handsome frame and red lips. Too bad, Idowu isnt helping matters either
Curtisaxel7: If we were so sure that we stood no chance against them, why then did they waste taxpayers' money to fly the Super Eagles all the way to Russia to get their asses whipped?.
We went there because it was expected that the SE stood a chance.
Oga no one whip our ass for Russia. We did played some decent football against the two most recent finalists.
We went to Russia because we qualified, that's the primary reason.
We didn't go there to win the cup- no be say it's an abomination to win the cup but we gotta be realistic joor.
Liamm: Rohr is one hell of a bloody tactically inept opportunist. Those saying he qualified us for world cup and now afcon, pray tell. If a tactically sound manager was to inherit the crop of talents at Rohr's disposal, we would never have had a shambolic world cup outing coupled with the performances. The wins we've managed to grind out under Rohr mostly came out of individual brilliance and not his techniques nor tactics. That old man needs to leave. Baxter would do a better job
Oga what do you mean by opportunist?
So if you are a gambler, you do put money for Nigeria to qualify in a group comprising Croatia and Argentina?
oloriooko: Did you watch the passes that led to Taa's burst into the box? Omeruo lost Tea who peeled away and had ample time to turn and face him Anyhow our back 4 needs help
****** Our defenders did more than our attackers as regards to today's match
IbrahimDamola: You 'scored' against the run of play. South Africans deserve the win, they are more cohesive, fighting for the ball and giving proper decisive passes, they hardly lose possession. They just don't have dangermen and finishers.
Nigeria deserved to lose this match. If Iheanachor the waste pipe goes to cameroun in 2019, he will be a big embarrasment. He shouldnt be getting call ups anymore when we have better players like Paul Onuachu.
oloriooko: Rohr came for a draw not to win and he got it But our back 4 needs serious panel beating cuz the goal we conceded was Omeruo's fault cuz he was not tight on Parci
Oga it happens in football. Tau can do that sh*t to Ramos, Chiellini, Bonucci, et al. Omeruo wasn't so bad on that marking, Tau just executed excellent footwork.
komekn: He was denied a move to the championship by his club who refused to sell him. I guess after over 10 goals and 10 assists for his club in league one as well as being the stand out player in his league. They simply could not afford to lose him.
Chuks refused to train to try and force a move that got a bit messy. In the end he agreed to play after much talk talk.
'We do not fear Nigeria‚' says Bafana coach Stuart Baxter ahead of Afcon showdown 12 November 2018 - 17:10 BY MNINAWA NTLOKO
Bafana Bafana coach Stuart Baxter says he holds no fear over facing Nigeria as the countdown to the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) showdown against the West Africans at FNB Stadium on Saturday continues.
The Briton said he expects the visitors to have vengeance on their minds when they arrive in Johannesburg this week after unexpectedly going down 2-0 to Bafana at home in Uyo in his maiden match in his second stint at the helm as coach in June last year.
‘‘We do have Nigeria first‚ in the small matter of an African Nations Cup qualifier‚” the Briton said on Monday.
‘‘Everybody knows the list of injuries that we have had.
‘‘Everybody knows what I said in the first press conference (a week ago) that despite that (the injuries) I want to speak about the players that we do have because even though we respect Nigeria we do not fear them.
‘‘I think we have still enough talent‚ enough desire and if we can structure a game plan in the next three or four days‚ I think by the time we run out onto the FNB Stadium we would be confident‚ we would not be complacent‚ because Nigeria have just come from a (2018) World Cup (in Russia).
‘‘They are undefeated since we beat them the last time (in the first qualifier in June last year) and they will certainly want to wreak their revenge.
‘‘So‚ we will be ready and I still believe that we have a very good chance of getting the result that we need.”
Baxter revealed that Bafana had injury scares to Holland-based midfielder Thulani Serero and SuperSport United goalkeeper Ronwen Williams.
‘‘The ultrasound did not find any tears but it will take him (Williams) I think 24 to 48 hours for it (slight knee strain) to settle‚” he said.
‘‘So he won’t be training with us for the 48 hours and we hope it (the injury) will settle. So that is a little bit of a scare but we will not call in a third keeper and we will keep Ronwen because I think he will be okay.
‘‘The second one is Thulani Serero. We did not receive anything from the club about Thulani but through media reports in Holland.
‘‘They said he had an ankle injury. We knew he was on the plane but we did not know anything about the injury.
‘‘So we held or breaths a little bit.
"When he got off (the plane) he said had a laceration‚ five stitches and a gash. The stitches should come off (on Monday)‚ easy training (on Monday) and he should be okay for full training (on Tuesday).
‘‘We did after that get a doctor’s report from Holland. So those two are not okay (on Monday) but they should be okay in the next 24 to 48 hours.”
Bafana have a tough schedule in the coming days as after hosting the Nigerians in Johannesburg on Saturday‚ they will then travel to Durban’s Moses Mabhida Stadium to welcome Paraguay in the Nelson Mandela Challenge on Tuesday.

This man is making so much noise. Prepare your team, if you win-we see, if you no win- we see. Haba!
BascoVanVeli: I would like to see Ighalo on a legitimate contender. He has been with struggling clubs his whole career I would like to see how how does with a big team
Some players are just meant to represent average teams,,,
komekn: Once again the topic of Chuks Aneke has come up. Why ❓ outstanding stand out player in club and league.
Chuks Aneke voted best player in league two for the month. He us supposed to be an AM but it seems he is being played as a striker quite a often. Can he do it a higher level, I don't know, I think he us not fast enough, I guess it's a question of opportunity. But the quality is not in doubt
elyte89: If such matches end up as a lose,at d end of d season ppu will point at d striker for not scoring goals,even an iwobi dts not a true striker,is dt not what most arsenal fans expect him to start doing... Add goals to his style. Of play
andrew444: He is a good player sha but Joachim low can be bias most times ,i am yet to forgive him for taking a Julian Brandt to the World Cup ahead of inform Leroy sane
He still refuses to drop Manuel neuer for an inform ter Stegen ,Manuel neuer is world class but has been out of form since his injury
tbaba1234: Kante and Vardy used to play in lower divisions
Is like you don't my point....
Hector is still in the team, was among 23 players invited earlier this week despite playing currently in 2.bundesliga with FC Koln. Infact, he's their main left back
