I'd rather be on my knees and beg Enyeama to come back than go for Ejide. But what Enyeama can give at this stage will just be experience. overall, based on current form, he won't be that excellent keeper we are still looking for at this point. Dele won't be excellent either.. the truth is we are just looking for the better devil. Humility017: |

Humility017: Rohr is actually very conservative just like many old coaches but there is a method to the madness, i believe. Every coach has his approach. For Rohr, it is slow and deliberate. 1 Like |

guys guys.. It's okay to criticize Rohr. But on the whole Rohr has brought far more positives than negatives to our darling national team. While I must admit that the criticisms of Rohr fielding Ebuehi for 90 minutes and not giving Aina enough time (as a Right-Back option as well) are logical, I think some of us are becoming over emotional because of the loss. All of a sudden Rohr has become the worst thing that has happened to our football. Let's give the coach a break. He learned after the South Africa loss. He will learn a couple lessons again from the friendlies. He wanted to win, and at the same time test different formations and players. In friendlies, coaches must find a good balance between playing to win and playing to test. Over the two friendlies, in my estimation, Rohr didn't do this well enough. 4 Likes |

Joebie:I was disappointed that players like Agbo never played. Ajayi had a cameo and Aina too. Ebuehi should have been substituted after the first half for Aina so that we see what he has to offer. In that regard I feel the friendlies were wasted opportunities since we didn't try all the new players. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Mujtahida: The coach has no confidence in Agbo. I doubt, he will make the WC. Rohr appears to be more focused on getting the right tactical formula than getting new players. I see him experimenting more with tactics than with players. 1 Like |

Humility017: Bros, no worry. The best thing is to just reduce your expectations of this team. I will not let patriotism becloud sound judgement. The two friendly matches exposed glaring weaknesses that'll be hard to improve on before the WC which is just a little over 2 months away. Boys that have been together since 2016 can't find each other on the pitch or string 1-2 passes together. Is it the months to WC they'll finally understand each other if they couldn't for nearly two years?? With the exception of Ndidi and Moses (although quite selfish), the rest couldn't live up to expectation. And Rohr didn't help matters by being too conservative. Playing Claude Puel style of football. If we play Spain, France, or Germany, we may get beaten silly by at least 2 goals. Why? Because they would dominate possession from start to finish and not give us a chance to counter. Odogwu Mikel will not play everything for us. He'll only bring experience and creativity to the midfield but will not help Onazi, agu, joel et al to pass the ball accurately. Now, do we have the coach that can improve on the creative side of our midfielders? Seriously, I began to doubt after both friendlies. We now know why majority of our players are not in top clubs. The individual quality just ain't there and with the exception of Ndidi, the other midfielders aren't improving their game. Okay, come in Ajayi and reuben. You didn't use them. For what reason ![]() I agree with Oasis who said that if Rohr we're to be a local coach, many of us here would say that he collected bribe or has his own boys. Double standards!!!! Well, I trust NFF, if we don't give a good outing in the WC (by not making it out of our group), heads will roll and many so called big boy players may never smell the GWG ever again. On the business side, many coporate sponsors may be wary of the SE in the future and doubt their ability to deliver on the global stage when it matters the most. 2 Likes |

darkelf:so annoying.....you wrote true... the problem of this team you just highlighted. you see I am not sparing rohr....at all. I believe we would been better...had it been he lets other players get to play... I am surprised to read here...that Agbo is a better passer of the ball...then why should rohr continue to keep him on the bench...? rohr is not acting like a German at all...may be he is more French than German... you see Germany national team...in the last confederations cup...they went to that tournament with young guns...that's what they call gradual progression they may not win this world cup...but expect them to win the next one..... we are walking on a tight robe... Ighalo gonna keep missing sitters for us...let's make that striker role competitive... play any of the likes of ajayi, Gabriel, dessers, Henry and even umar... let's see if they offer something different... I have watched Henry...enough and I know he is more a better finisher than Ighalo... i am not comfortable with onazi in that midfied...any more...what's the use of an assistant captain who can't make a simple pass upfront...? let's make this guys believe that their positions are up for grab...and see how they will.improve... I remember Ighalo starts playing better shortly after warming the bench in the super eagles for sometime...prior the Cameroon game...... 1 Like |

tbaba1234: then rohr has a problem... why keep inviting players you have no confidence on...little wonder he failed in those Africa countries he managed... even keshi....used the Mexico, Scotland friendlies prior the 2014 world cup to try new players..... we need good legs in that midfield who can pass the ball well....and also a hungry striker...Ighalo i repeat is not good enough. 2 Likes |

Joebie:i so much agree with your last sentence... I am not calling a rohr a bad coach...in fact I do much appreciates the improvement he has made on our football... but we Nigerians expect better things from him as regard this last two friendlies... had it been the new invited players or those who have not been playing gets to play this two matches or even the Serbian match and lost....it won't have made much noise.... at least it would have the team and him rohr know better the calibre of this players and also we Nigerians..know as regard players selection and whom to be on the plane to Russia.... but right now...i still believe one of those guys like agbo, ajayi,Gabriel and even Aina would have done better in that match.. 1 Like |

Mujtahida:3 players were actually supposed to be subbed out at HT Ebuehi, Onazi and Musa I think I know why Moses was subbed out incase of injury in the tourny how well can the eagles cope in his absence (one of the positives that day and the result was instant). I'd have loved to see what Agbo could have offered as well |

darkelf: God bless you immensely for this post. At the bolded is what I felt all through the two friendlies. I wonder how we lost our touch of ball jogging, possessive football that we are used to as Africans and by and large Nigerians. We were was our possessive play?... Where was our ball controls.?... Our midfielders couldn't string 2-3 passes together. Very terrible from us. Big question is , how is it possible to learn in 2 months what we didn't learn in two years of playing together?... It beats me honestly. Germans hold up play a lot. Why then isn't Rohr transferring such to our players?... I am a very patriotic fan but we must say the truth. We will not go anywhere if we can't keep possession. Many teams will starve us of the ball while nullifying our attempts at any form of counter attack... I believe that they have gotten that figured out already. Honestly, except Rohr performs a miracle at the Mundial,... I don't see us improving on our possession and ball distribution. And if we don't improve, I'm sorry, we will be in for a long ride!!! |

If that's your definition of a pun or when to say 'no pun intended' you've got wrong bra. Check your dictionary for the meaning of a pun.
