LAWAL: Gernot Rohr has just been lucky. EMMA Ado: Gernot Rohr is benefiting from the hard work of Keshi. Different strokes for different folks. Some folks cannot just give credits to whom is due |

Garba Lawal and Emma Ado should both STFU! There's nothing like "luck" in football. It's all about hard work, good planning and training. Yes, some Nigerian especially Samson Siasia whom I hold in very high esteem; however, their downfall is "favoritism" - for lack of a better word. The problem with the Super Eagles during the reigns of Keshi, Siasia, and Oliseh was that our best players were not playing for us. Each time you see their team lists, you'll always find some head scratching names on the list. Today, players are invited strictly on merit and things are done quite professionally. O pari |

Icon4s:Only an insane man will compare the works of Gernot Rohr with some indigenous coaches we have have recycled for a while. I couldn't believe my ears when people who where being brain washed the by the Nigerian media and some 4th columnist to appoint Salisu Yusuf. Talking about appointing a man whose only achievement was winning the NPFL fraudulently via board room pointswith kano pillars. The other 2 jobs he had was Enyimba where he was sacked after a poor run of form and Niger Tornadoes. The Nigeria media owe ordinary Nigerians who they misguided apologies for winding up support for Salisu Yusuf. If Salisu Yusuf was the coach, we would have been talking of 2 draws not 2 wins. 1 Like |

Icon4s:Seriously, am still perplexed till date why anyone would think Salisu Yusuf was the man who will dig us out from where we were. Funny enough Guru Maharaji went with the flow and predicted that a foreign coach will not achieve anything with the SE. He specially pointed at the flavour of the month, Salisu to lead us to the promised land. Salisu himself started believing his own hype. Stating categorically he will not assist a foreign manager if the Nff don't consider him for the job. Thank goodness the Nff stuck to their guns. Those of us who believed the super eagles needed a foreign manager have been vindicated. Congratulations to us all. 1 Like |

Icon4s: Come On big bros. The man made a clear point. Most of the player made their debuts under Keshi. Which means, it was a work in progress. Many of these guys today were young and were not ready for big time. Give Keshi kudos. He tried and we should remember his contribution. One of the coaches who took time building the team. |

Icon4s: Keshi even had Alampasu and Iheanacho in his CHAN camp. The man was too much. We just chose to pick faults. I keep telling people, try picking Keshi's good works and then they will know he was a blessing. Even Aluko is Keshi's call. Emma Ado pointed the fruits of Keshi's good works and gave props to Rohr for continuing the right way. 1 Like |

Our Right back slot by next year will be good to go with all the options being made "reality" ![]() ...................................................................... Rohr Confirms Positive Talks With Father Of Chelsea Defender Aina & Russian Nigerian Idowu Over Playing For Nigeria ![]() Coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has opened up a line of discussion with the duo of Anglo Nigerian Ola Aina and Russian Nigerian Brian Idowu over playing for Nigeria. The duo are both full backs born abroad with Idowu eligible to represent Russia while Aina is already a full youth international with England after playing for them at different age levels. However Rohr who is keen on bolstering the options of the Super Eagles in the full back positions says he has held talks with the duo, and will travel to see them later to conclude talks. ”I have plans to visit Aina and his father again in England very soon and Idowu in Russia as well. I’m interested in these two players because they have the quality to make the Eagles great” He said.

TheSuperNerd: If Ebuehi likes, let him not receive sense fast. This is not just Rohr needing him for the National team but working with an experienced coach who can refine his game. |

Icon4s:He fails to understand that at times you have to harmonize or compromize standards/rules with reality to achieve some set goals. Going by his analysis players like Etebo, Azubuike, Kayode, Adi should not be given a look in. I doubt if a player like Kayode will not bang in goals with several callups which Ighalo and Ideye have enjoyed. |

Icon4s: As I said, look at his good works. You are still looking for negatives. Keshi's good to the Super Eagles trumps his negatives. What Emma Ado said is a fact and his words should Draw our mind to some things of Keshi forgotten. This does not deserve rebuke. |

But of cos... Keshi was awesome. Oh yes he was.... We cannot deny the fact that he gave most of the current players their super eagles debut and did great things for us. But also, he blew it.... (Yes the NFF also contributed to frustrating him). His team selections became so questionable... TheGoodJoe: |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 9:13pm On Nov 17, 2016 |
TheSuperNerd: I totally disagree here. In our last three games against Keshi, if my maths is right, we won two games and drew one against South Africa the group leaders. We conceded three goals and scored seven. The two goals we conceded happened because we took two hard injury blows. One to Hope Akpan who came in and steadied the ship with his midfield awareness. Then an injury to Omeruo. Meanwhile, Keshi did not have a contract and the NFF stopped him from coaching during the window. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Icon4s(m): 9:14pm On Nov 17, 2016 |
TheGoodJoe: Then let us also pay a blind eye to Siasia's and Oliseh's negatives. Keshi also gave too much slots to home based players.He also had issues with the "big players" in the team. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 9:16pm On Nov 17, 2016 |
TheSuperNerd: As I said before, Emma Ado pointed the good from Keshi. Something we are enjoying today. Keshi did not blow it but had to work under challenging conditions. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Icon4s(m): 9:19pm On Nov 17, 2016 |
TheGoodJoe: Why focus on the last 3 games? Keshi lost to Congo PR in Uyo and also lost away to Sudan. TheSuperNerd was right. Keshi started well but blew it up by homself. His priority became to scout for homebased players that he can repackage, send abroad and make money from their transfers. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 9:20pm On Nov 17, 2016 |

Reuben Gabriel, Ejike Uzoenyi, Michael Uchebo, Shola Ameobi.... Some names for a world cup squad. He got it wrong in certain players' selection... He remains our hero and all..... But keshi had his faults as head coach. TheGoodJoe: |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 9:25pm On Nov 17, 2016 |
Icon4s: Do you call his last three games starting or ending? His last three games showed the trajectory of the team. Unfortunately, the NFF then were trigger happy to let the Iconic hero go. We were one goal a way from the going to the AFCON. Chances we created multiple times in that game. Some missed by Musa and Uche. Keshi won the AFCON, Qualified us for the World Cup, took us to the knock out stage of the World Cup. We had a poor start to the qualifiers, but finished strong. I wonder where he blew it. Keshi gets loads of unfair criticisms but his good works trumps the bad. |
