Humility017:

if you were in his shoes how will you feel...ola who came yesterday is already playing full 90 mins...
why do you think the English coach is capping Abraham and co....

you need give this guys sense of belonging...
keep inviting him every time to make up the numbers.....

show them that you believe in them...
give him few minutes under his belt...it is good for his confidence......
a very inconsequential match like this would have been better if he was allowed to play few minutes....

after all he is not doing badly for his club....

Mickael2:



I am not talking about the chances they got....for now.

We hardly created two chances, our midfield was jittery all game long, there was no leadership and the team was disjointed, we did not deserve to win. Not all their chances were 'cause of the gk

Joebie:
In the second half? yes I agree to an extent -- meaning you are exaggerating.
He had a good second half, not even considering the goals. Phenomenal? NO

Mickael2:



we have played two games without Mikel and in both games we deserved to lose, easy to see why people are complaining

Mickael2:



i did not deny that at all.

When I saw the list of invited players we had Ighalo and Moses who would have definetly started plus Onazi so I changed from not winning to losing

it wasn't a prediction at all, just analysis based on the players present, the players were changed so the analysis disappeared

Daejoyoung:

Ebuehi's time would come, there are many games to play, even cup of nations qualifiers. Ebuehi is young, and definitely for the future.

tbaba1234:


Ogu shown both his strengths and weaknesses today.

Icon4s:


Bros it is not by who fes come.

Rohr simply does not have confidence in that Ehuehi guy. Is it not so obvious? BTW you don't throw too many newbies into the defense at once. Starting Aina is one risk for the CBs and DM to cope with. So bringing in Ebuehi too is not ideal.

Oasis007:
Ogu ain't as bad as some Dudes are painting him here.

TheGoodJoe:


Phenomenal. That one is not even a debate. From the first to second half, Ogu was the most consistent player behind Brahimi. From the start of the game, he stood out and he is clearly the best defensive midfielder I have seen in years play for the Super Eagles when it concerns all round play.

Mickael2:



with better finishing we would have lost embarrasingly and you know it, they were EASILY the better team.


Meanwhile I said WE WOULD NOT WIN, I added that we would lose after we saw the list of invitees but due to injuries the team was almost completely changed

TheGoodJoe:

Mickael2:



the Nwakali I know would have offered more than Ndidi and Ogu combined. I love Ndidi but this wasn't his best match. This was a dead rubber match anyways, let's not judge Rohr yet

safarigirl:
no offence bro, but you are talking arrant nonsense.

An Algerian football journalist just admitted that thy got lucky on two counts:

Brahimi should have seen RED for that head-butt. Algeria ought to be one man down by the end of the game

The penalty was DUBIOUS

An Algerian admitted that and you are here yarning dust.

We had higher possession in both halves.

Oga, go and sleep abeg. You just wan talk

safarigirl:
Algeria's first team needed a useless penalty to draw a bunch of fringe players, some of whom were untested totally and you are crying as if we lost to Algeria after playing all of our main guys.

You people will never be satisfied. God forbid!

They sha kept our unbeaten record despite the wuru-wuru officiating. I'm good with that

pyrex23:
nwakeme should be brought off ... Now!... I would prefer mikel as a cf dan this rock head.. Cmon!

Humility017:


I wont really blame the players but the coach we played them wrongly.......

besides it also shows that salisu yusuf is bereft of ideas.....
what is his role as an assitant?

TheGoodJoe:
The match was an analyst nightmare because of how terrible the pitch was. We had a balance mix of players but the pitch made it difficult for the players to string simple passes, let alone long balls.

The forwards and full back had a terrible time running the length of the pitch. On a better pitch, this team would have performed far better.

Mickael2:



Oga please which match did you watch? I noticed SS9 was showing a repeat of Nigeria vs Uruguay sha

Mujtahida:

When you saw that Ighalo, Moses, Onazi were invited you changed from we were not going to win to we were going to lose


When Ighalo, Moses and Onazi were injured your analysis disappeared(your analysis that we were going to lose because they were in the team disappeared) and became neutral abi as in there was no analysis as to the outcome of the game on your part. Is that what you are saying?

safarigirl:
the referee is not just a suspect. He is a criminal

TheGoodJoe:
Few players that really stood out for me despite the atrocious conditions the players played on where

John Ogu
Balogun
Shehu Abdullahi
Iwobi
Ekong to some extent

tbaba1234:
Too many complainers, we just completed the easiest WC group for a very long time. There is work to be done and i believe we are on the right track.

Humility017:

forget it my brother....that guy in the midfield would have been better than etebo today....

TheGoodJoe:
Few players that really stood out for me despite the atrocious conditions the players played on where

John Ogu
Balogun
Shehu Abdullahi
Iwobi
Ekong to some extent

Icon4s:
Ezenwa just benefiting from a coordinated defense.

The day that defense will switch off....... I pray not to watch that match.

Icon79:
Iheanacho and Iwobi were played in the wrong positions, so they can be excused.
Ezenwa showed his weakness today. I think the search for goalkeeper continues ....
Nwakaeme is not an Eagles material. I would be surprised if he gets invited back

Leon Balogun has his absolute worst game in the super eagles jersey today. So why were you impressed with him?
I think the face mask impacted his game and probably the captain's armband as well. Some players just don't play very well when given the added burden of the captain's armband - examples: Harry Kane and Neymar.


O pari

realpoacher:


Am sure you will do better than Rohr. When some of you criticise, you do it so blindly that it looks like you have a personal score to settle with the coach. Give this man some credit. This is the first time in a long while that we qualified without calculator and here with a game to spare, Algeria needed a dubious referee assisted penalty to draw at their own backyard against our second team. What were you expecting?, that we go there and whitewash them?... Na we buy boot for dem?

Some of you guys here with negative words, criticism, and "never see good in Rohr" are a suspect. I believe that besides our team's success, you guys might have an ulterior motives.

I mean how else do one explain the name calling and demeaning remarks on this match and on our players.?.. In the viewing center where I just watched this game, applause and praises were all the players received only to come online to read this rubbish!

I am beginning to think that many of you are kids who knows nothing about our history in football or better still you guys are all foreign based Nigerians who are just beginning to show interest in our football.

That should be the only reason why you guys throw new players at the coaching crew upandan and making weird statements calling it tactics.

From time immemorial, apart from westerhof. Rohr is the only foreigner doing something great about the Super Eagles, heck it took almighty westerhof 4 years to do what Rohr is doing for us under a year. And the best you lots can do is to criticise, insult and demean his ability, capability and achievements so far.

I don't blame you, you all probably won't be saying this had we been stucked at the bottom of this group, to which the worst you would have done is to sack him.

Armchair coach is what I call you all, and not until you guys take up a coaching job, it remains so.

Honestly it is nauseating reading many negative comments here. Just imagine you wishing us to lose, you have been saying it since last month. And since we didn't lose today, instead of running home with your tail in between your legs, you are making a lame attempt at being a contempt.

If you can't support this team positively, abeg maintain your Lane.

SMH!
