Reference:


There is not one of the 32 coaches going to the world cup that will not desire all his players in fine form. How do yoiu even assess form when the person in question is not playing. The risk is just too high. Gone are the days of reputation and history. That is just assumpition and can fail anytime. Sorry, but that is the fact. He will find someone else to replace him who he can assess on the field of play.

of course everyone desires that, bug everyone will not have what they desire. You work with what you have, not what you dream of having.

You think only us have problems? The Argentine coach is worried that their number 1 goalkeeper, Sergio Romero, is chopping bench in United, Mascherano and Pastore are also not playing regular football, but do you think he will drop those players? No! Why? Because he doesn't have capable alternatives

And that is the situation Rohr is in....and as much as you wish it were possible, you are not likely to find a replacement between now and June. We only have one window open in March and the team at this point, should be more interested in cohesion than unnecessary fusing of new blood. 2018 is here already, any half decent coach would know to use what he has, rather than go on a wild goose chase for what may or may not come good eventually.

I desire a Rolls Royce, but am I driving one? No. Even the 1994 team we took to the World Cup, they were not all regulars, but they still did well despite that

There are better strikers on current form in Europe currently than Iheanacho.

Nwakaeme, onuachu, and a host of them are doing very great.

If he is dumped, i wouldn't be surprised.

Reference:
When we said Nacho's move to Mancity was as grave as a posting to Afghanistan people kicked. Fast forward two years and see the beginning of the end of a once promising career. If he had gone to the continent and to the so called second tier countries such as Belgium, Holland or Portugal, chances are that he will be playing regularly in a league that suits his moderate pace and style and can build his technique to suit bigger and better leagues. The premiership is for mid age finished foreign imports who have a great resume and plenty of hot air behind them. By the time Kanu came to Arsenal he wad already a Champions league winner with Ajax. Same as Finidi before heading to Spain. [s]But see Amuneke. Africa and straight to Barca and puff within a blink of an eye[/s].

Amuneke played 3 seasons at Sporting Lisbon.

Brown Ideye should make the team.

Ihenacho problem is the boys he is moving with.

Dat obodo of a guy wet resemble wire boys.

Na him know 25m he don hammer

Turn Moses Simon into a striker and bring in kaly che of gent

no be Nwakaeme play 75 minutes against Algeria wey Nigerians wan sacrifice am? Even Rohr fear to play the guy against Argentina sef

the likes of Victor Moses should play defense for super eagles at the World Cup final

He can still considered Biafra man to Fulani herbsman.

And those playing around in China nko which isn't a competitive league...once the western world start something we just copy n paste..

and I guess lack of game time also made Messi miss a penalty in Copa America?

Which mistimed tackle did Keita have? Keita shoved a Greek player openly and got a red card, was it lack of game time that was responsible for his burst of anger? Abi you watched another match?

The problem with you Nigerian football fans that wait for news on the team to reach FP is that your arguments lack depth.

Chaaaiiiiii...... lol.... true though...

All your comments on this thread are valid and on point, learnt one or two... just happy that Naija is not the only team with issues.
Rohr is doing a great job.

You won't still win the world cup with Super Eagles;with or without the duo...

Only if u were patriotic! Bn positive doesn't require much...just believe and work towards any dream, you'll be surprised with wht u might achieve! My two cents...

Good day people. Chevron is practicing slavery and evil. They used employment as a subterfuge to enslave Nigerians. One of the company's method of employment is through VTP program. The company has employed VTP1 to VTP4, and none of this set spent over 25months on On the job learning. However VTP 5 / VTP 6 have spent over 50 months (as at January, 2018) and still counting. We work without medical and vacation in mutagenic, carcinogenic, radioactive conditions etc. We call on people of good conscious to propagate our slavery until it reverberates to Chevron corporate office at San Ramon.

safarigirl:
drop them for who? The way Keshi dropped half his original team in 2014, only to make a spectacle of himself in Brazil abi?

You have not heard the saying "Never change a winning team"...we have seen how well these changes work

The attacking formula for the SE. Is Moses Simon/Alex Iwobi + Odion Ighalo + Victor Moses. Those two boys (Kelechi and Musa are dispensable).

Secondly, Keshi's problem was not that he changed the team, it was that he brought in the wrong new players. We could all see that the players he brought in had little to offer so you can't use that experience to create a rule.

Iheanacho has more international goals than both Ighalo and Moses Simon combined... and you call him dispensable? Hahahahahahahahaha.....


Iheanacho won't be the top striker at the world cup. It would be Ighalo but Iheanacho will be Ighalo's backup. A strong first XI must be complimented by a strong bench too.

Musa will also make the team... Hahahahahahahahaha... Rohr drop musa? lol You guys don't seem to understand what make a team thick.

Safari representing. With you here I don't need to make any comments. Kudos.

MrHistorian:
There's MORE THAN ENOUGH space for Iheanacho and Musa in our 32 Man WC list irrespective of them getting playing time in their respective clubside or not.

He could have simply said the duo MIGHT not feature in games or be a regular starter in the WORLD CUP.

Bullsheet at the end.

These are just warnings so the players can sit up fight for their shirt or move to another clubs. The coach is right here, no manager wants to go to the world cup with players that are not playing for their clubs. Musa own is even worse, I forgot he's still a Leicester player. When u play regularly u build ur confidence, when u don't play u lack confidence and match fitness.

Oh and it's 23 man squad not 32 . Really we shouldn't be selecting our squad based on sentiments.

nezzar:

Which one is this coach is overrated, check Leicester lineup every weekend, musa hardly makes it to the bench, I feel the coach is right about dropping them, This is world cup, so they have to be in form

On point bro. AFter a long time we get a coach that actually gets the team playing and someone is saying he is overrated just because he is warning their favorite players to get playing time or miss the world cup. This is why this country is always backwards, we do everything based on sentiments. Iheanacho own is slightly better, as for Musa he doesn't even make Leicester match day squad, and Iheanacho got just 10 mins against a league one side in the FA cup.

Go for Ademola Lookman of Everton

Any you are the one that understands?

I have been in many teams at my own level so i don't know what you want to tell me about how teams work. It is an unwritten rule of football that players who are not getting game time at club level do not get called up for the National Team. In fact there are teams who will drop you even if you are getting game-time, if the level you are playing at is unsatisfactory for them, for Example Italy refusing to call up Giovinco for Euro 2016, because he was playing the MLS.

Whether or not Rohr will actually drop those boys is entirely up to him but the evidence thus far is that there is a good chance that he will, and if it does it would be a sound decision from a footballing perspective.

**yawns**

bla bla bla....

says the one who says a player with 8 goals 4 assists in 14 games for the Super Eagles is dispensable.

Do you know how many bench warmers made the 1994 Eagles squad? Hahahahahahahahaha.... I repeat you don't understand what makes a team thick...

safarigirl:
so you will take just one CF to Russia? And not even a potent one, how many goals does Ighalo have for Nigeria?

Kelechi had two assists and a goal in our last game. You will drop him, but you will take Ighalo that has on and off day?

Is this supposed to be a joke?

Nacho will probably make the squad, not sure of Musa though. But I think the manager is right to give the warning so players can know there's no automatic shirt, they need to work.

. The Gernot Rohr I know wouldn't have said such even if he did,definitely not with those words. This is a clearly made up story by attention seeking individuals but I'm not in anyway disputing the fact that they both need more game time.

MasterKim:
Buhari work.
He use style to drop d Biafran boy abi
Rohr too af enter our trap

People have been commenting with their senses intact here. I suggest you do the same.

Its tick not thick... Not that its relevant but its annoying.

The principles are tried and tested: Players who are not playing regularly will mot be match fit and should not be selected. Period. The fact that it was dine in 1994 seems to mean so much to you yet that team crashed out in the round of 16 so is that supposed to be a reference point of success??

Baffling!

You are the biggest fool of d yr goat go and bring siasia na goat

sotonzBlog:
this coach is overrated

How are the mighty falling?

HAH:
To be honest they need to be playing regularly to get a chance, but sadly in Nigeria everything is man know man, Roth will chill if ogas at top give orders.

Other players that need to discarded are Onazi and Echiejile , some of the boys that played last Olympics games like Sadiq who plays for Roma should be invited. Ezenwa should be number 1 keeper it will be a big mistake to recall enyeama, last last he will go and be like Rufai at France 98 cos he is living on past glory

You be better Mugu,dem dey talk of bench warmer and you wan bring another 1 enter,do you really watch football or you just bring any opinion that comes through your mind,Sadiq umar on loan at Torino from as Roma,a player who hardly comes off the bench for Torino and you want him to be involved and you want onazi to be dropped a starter for trabzonspor what are you smoking If you don't follow football keep shut
