TheGoodJoe: Are you surprised, me I don talk say the man go miss yan before tomorrow and he has not disappointed as usual ![]() fear fear coach, no wonder our boys sef dey fear for pitch. Like papa like sons things. The earlier this man go back to his village, the better for us. I was ashamed when the Ugandan analyst on superports said Cameroon was better than us but we just scored to make the difference. Even Larry Kingston before his Ghana was dumped out said Nigeria was getting jittery before the Cameroonians scored and that we should learn from Benin. I said see wetin papa rohr don't turn us into. I pray the Eagles win but won't be a bad idea too if we loose so rohr can go on time cos I can't understand how an omeruo who has played 7 matches at a senior world cup will be still be jittery, Omo na jazz? 2 Likes |

OMANBALA1: In fact, the part where he says the National team isn't a place to build career got to me So, Onuachu playing in Denmark is better than Osimhen playing in Belgium. The only worthwhile argument is physical strength and height which Onuachu may have better than Osimhen but apart from that, I don't see any other better quality |

Exclusive – Ola Aina Out, Collins, Chukwueze In Rohr’s Starting Lineup For South Africa Tie Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal that coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr will likely drop Ola Aina from his starting lineup for the AFCON quarter final game against South Africa. Base on the training session of the team, Rohr has picked Jamilu Collins in the team that contains most of the regular players ahead of Aina who has so far played in every game for Nigeria. Aina could however shift to the right back position which is his preferred role but Rohr has been very impressed with the performance of Chidozie Awaziem who has filled in admirably well as cover since the injury to regular right back Shehu Abdullahi in the first game. Another move made by the coach is the decision to hand a start to Samuel Chukwueze for the second time in this tournament ahead of Moses Simon who will be given a rest for the game. For now the two changes appear to be the ones the coach will likely make to the team that started the 3-2 win over Cameroon in the round of 16. owngoalnigeria.com I don't know what is wrong with Rohr sometimes...a player just returning from injury to start against RSA in the Qfinal.. |

charlesemeka85: You started on the wrong note by comparing a well organized and funded Brazil professional league(i guess that's what csl stands for) to the Super Eagles situation. Fact is that Osimhen is our best striker in the just ended season in Europe not Ighalo and Chinese league is no where comparable to Belgian league. Therefore, I maintain the only reason Ighalo is starting has nothing to do with club form...my statement will be further validated when you take in account what a crappy tactician Rohr is. So, dont compare apples and oranges....use the appropriate variables. Many clubs in the Brazilian professional league can give some European super powers a run for their money. Gabriel Jesus waa bought directly from Brazilian league. They have good quality. Also, using Osimhen's time at Wolfsburg to degrade him is just pathetic....if you know what a teenage players fresh off the boat go through in these European clubs you will hide your face in shame....this is a young man who was a teenager and still learning the basic. There could be a thousand reason why he was not CONSTANTLY played. However , the same Osimhen is in another clubside churning out goals like nobody's business....He who laughs last...while Ighalo was bungled out of premiership. I see your romance with Southgate....lol 3 Likes |

charlesemeka85: Guy , even if Rohr decides he want to boast he cant because his team has played very poorly and had just managed to tuck in their goal. Their first real test will be against South Africa....No hiding place because those guys have beaten us before. |

i made reference to Brazilian players plying their trade in the chinese super league not Brazilian clubs. rohr is crappy but qualified a team who failed to make it to the afcon back to back with a game spared and also qualified the team from a group that comprised top african teams such as zambia,algeria and cameroon enroute to the world cup without losing a single game just in the space of 3 years. he is crappy and turned our team to one of the most feared team in africa once again which is what we were known of in african football previously. what was our rating in world football and africa when rohr took charge of the team compared to now? when we were grouped against against cameroon,algeria,zambia during the world cup qualifiers did you ever believed that the team will qualify easily like the did considering the foes they faced during the qualifiers? the problem we have as Nigerians is that we are way too ambitious and lack patience without putting into consideration that in the game of football it takes time to build a decent team. to me i agree rohr is not the best but he has so far done enough to build a decent team from scratch and as well built a solid foundation for any other coach who will take over when he vacates his position.

they have played poorly but in the quarter finals? they played poorly because they didn't bruise and dismantle teams in our group with scorelines like 10-0,8-0 and 7-0? spain that won 2010 world cup lost their first match and won subsequent ones with 1-0 score line even in the finals against the Netherlands. you all lost hope in the team because they lost to lowly madagascar but to me that was a reality check and an eye opener which made the players to sit up. to me that defeat is a blessing in disguise OMANBALA1: 4 Likes |

Humility017: I don't know if Rohr has been practicing Free Kicks around the 18-yard-box. But incase he hasn't, I suggest: 1. Etebo, 2. Musa, 3. Ogu, 4. Simon 5. Chukwueze, 6. Ndidi to take our Free Kicks and deliver Corner kicks in that order. For scoring set pieces someone like Ighalo, Onyekuru, Omeruo, Ndidi, Balogun, Ekong, Osimehn or Onuachu should be in the box around the goal post. |

Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has suggested that John Obi Mikel is available for selection when his side battle South Africa in an Africa Cup of Nations quarterfinal clash in Cairo on Wednesday evening. The former Chelsea midfielder sat out the round of 16 match against Cameroon after failing to recover from a knee injury he suffered in the 2-0 loss to Madagascar nine days ago. As far as injuries are concerned, Rohr stated at Tuesday's press conference that every single player trained in the penultimate workout on Monday, meaning the likes of Mikel, Jamilu Collins and Abdullahi Shehu can be called upon to face Bafana Bafana. Injury or no injury, the Super Eagles captain is believed to be behind Arsenal's Alex Iwobi in the pecking order of playmakers while Oghenekaro Etebo and Wilfred Ndidi are the preferred defensive midfielders. Providing an injury update, Rohr said : ''Now our offensive department is on a good level, we had some players who were injured, who did not have so many matches to play, who were fasting, who were sick. ''The preparation was not easy but now it is the first time yesterday in the training session that we had 23 players participating. ''Everybody is fit now so it will be very difficult for me to select the team.'' Mikel earned his 89th Nigeria cap in the 2-0 loss to Madagascar on June 30 and made way for Alex Iwobi 14 minutes into the second half. |

tbaba1234:Onyekuru is a LW. At least Rohr sees him as an option through the middle. He should be a like for like(albeit with more potential) replacement for Musa. He should've started both against Madagascar and if they flopped he'd have pointed to it as a reason. I said Osimhen only made the squad as a precaution in case Ighalo wasn't fit enough and people didn't believe. We have wasted a valuable place that would've gone to a midfielder. 2 Likes |

charlesemeka85: The world cup qualifying group of death was not the first time we found ourselves in such group. Keshi had achieved more with way less talented group of players than Rohr. Rohr has not won anything yet. And ,yes he is tactically deficient. Rohr has been Super Eagles for over 3yrs yet we unable to play three good passes....its not impatient...its FED UP! There is no reason why we should not be playing beautiful football! And, no! The problem with Nigeria is not impatience it's people like you who are dormant and comfortable with anything you are given. Rohr has not done anything spectacular....just few flashes here and there. 6 Likes |
