Make Coach no give Dennis one kine leverage on his not coming afterall o. Dennis go look say Onyeka dey warm bench now. This guy should start. He should.

Exactly

He was impressive from the blow of the whistle against Egypt. That's what I want to see, impressive play.

This isn't even about how many minutes anyone has played, because like I said, when Iwobi came on against Egypt, he was so good in those few minutes, and this is someone people have been calling a shit footballer in the EPL.

If I am expecting shit football, and you put in a good shift, you impress me more than someone I had no expectations for, and they put in a bad shift

I do not believe in all this "they had a few minutes, they did not get enough time", that's me though.

One or two regulars might lose their place to the fringe players

Joezinho:


Aribo is rubbish Nwakali is the truth…. Against Sudan he kept passing it back to retain the ball, he tried to dribble and lost it and he learnt from it….

I love players like that. Even when Ndidi was frustrated with the back passing….He kept doing it to show that he is not afraid of anyone… Who be Ndidi to vex when the midfield meastro dey pass?

TheGoodJoe:


If it comes to hard work, Sadiq has really put in a good shift. It just some other areas that needs tweaking. That is a very hard-working guy.

AndSunGorilla:

We the fanboys have readymade excuse in hand.
1) One game is not enough to judge a player.
2) Today might just be a bad day in the office for the them.
3) No supplies from the midfield or long passes from the defense as we are missing Aribo, Aina, Omeruo, Zaidu, Chuks and Simon today.

I really appreciate hardwork....on a construction site

I need good football on the pitch, great passes, good run, lovely crosses, a lethal foot.

If he was a bricklayer, he would be top of his craft, but this is football.

Anyway, I will be open minded with him tonight, he is one person I can promise an open mind.

comodo:

You forgot to add, he was good because we played against a team ranked 1000 by FIFA. Let's wait until he plays against the big teams.

Icon79:
True. I was a little mean there, but we’ve watched him in two consecutive games and he’s yet to put any foot right

Let’s hope he’ll prove me wrong today.


O pari

Rohr really did a lot for Nigeria forget that he is a tactical dinosaur but he laid a ground plan that any incoming coach would easily follow, I would like to call him Nigeria's John the Baptist

he wasn’t/isn’t a tactical genius. nothing dey him head, just hitler and vibes

I disagree. Oliseh is tactically sound. Very very sound.

chuks404:
. In as much as you are right to some degree, on the other hand[i], I feel the coaches are closer to the players[/i]. Senegal with all the stars couldn't give us good football. Provided Eguavoen is getting results, no need for this your statement. If so called almighty onyeka fits in , he will definitely play.

kingphilip:

I think Rohr is a Nigerian too for starting Shehu when almighty Aina and Ebuehi was always invited.

humility33:

How? Even with the CHAN team he managed he couldn't make it pass the group stage......

Danielnino00:


Funny enough, when Rohr dropped an in form Aina for Collins who just returned from injury at the last AFCON, his opinion was that it was NFF politics at play...
Now he has found a local coach to shift the blames to.. lol..

Rohr's style of coaching was too conservative,hence his choice of players who suit the style.. Now it seems like Eguavon is selecting his own players based on how he feel they will suit his style..

I'm sure Onyeka will play tomorrow...

Left to Rohr there would have been a lot more Nigerian origin players from England in the team.

But the NFF hierarchy and a number of coaches kicked against it.

komekn:


Close to the players, is not necessarily an advantage but a disadvantage as subjectivity can take the place of objectivity on account of relationship past and present.

This is why when a new manager comes to a club he is objective and unibiased. As a consequence ,quite often player who has been benched or forgotten becomes the star player.

The same manager with the same players may get dramatically different results.

In conclusion, knowing the players personally is not a clear advantage.

Rohr didn't select Collins take it or leave it.

Keshi
Maigari
Amunike
Manu Garba
Ndukka Ugbade
Samson Siasia

These were the pillars of what Rhor enjoyed and we are enjoying today.

Mujtahida:

I know of Ruben Agboola, and those who have watched the Eagles far longer say even in the formative years of Nigerian football we had foreign born players. We had Odemwingie who played very well for us. Carl Ikeme would have been a great GK but for the unfortunate incident of his health challenges. The present players are doing great. We are receiving huge chunks of foreign financial remittances but when it comes to football, we should close our eyes to foreign born players who want to play for us. Such ideas are just too ridiculous, too inane and it's best one does not speak about it.

Subzero047:


They also enjoyed the pillars of those before them, give Rohr his credit

TheLoneCitizen:


How many, mate?

The fact that some of the best players are one-footed, tells you it is an added advantage, not a necessity.

Chukwueze is the most one-footed player in that squad.
