]Thank you Sir.

I think some see it as a taboo to criticise Rohr,forgetting that Nigerians have seen different super eagles foreign mangers like Father Tiko,Otto Gloria,Manfred Hoener,Clemens Westerhoff, Bonfrere Jo,Phillipe Trousier,Thijs Libreght,Berti Vogts.

On Agbo continue invitation i still repeat it something is fishing and only Rohr can explain what is really going on,nobody else.

God bless you immensely bro.

You shall lack no good thing

Mujtahida:

God bless you bro. Immediately I read that Ebuehi had groin injury, I said to myself what's this groin, groin I've been hearing about since forever. I checked the meaning of groin and I shook my head.
Yesterday in the heat of the argument with my fellow eagulians I kept emphasing two points: the human body is not a machine and I asked another the meaning of groin injury. But I was baffled that them began to talk like they've never been sick and recovered forever in their lives. They took a mechanical view of the whole thing. At a point i wanted to tell them that how I wish we could get the perspective of a footballer cos experience is the best teacher. Never knew you are one. Nobody could argue against the fact that the boy was recovering from an injury. He even winced in pain and he was hesitant in making tackles.

Criticism should be fair. It should not just be for the purpose of scoring cheap points or taking pot shots at the coach as was disappointingly done yesterday.

MetalJigsaw:
I'm sure you're one of those folks that will never accept that Joel really flopped big time in his previous spell in SE... A chance of such magnitude, but he was too ordinary to utilize it. But you're always ready to get at any length to lament about Ighalo's "woes" and "inabilities".

Stop talking as if we have a Xavi and Inieata in midfield, Mr. Ighalo is a proven striker. Really funny how You mention Dessers and co. A Dessers that's struggling for game time at a lowly Utrecht.

No striker in this world would ever find his feet with the current crop of SE midfielders who are only equivalent to amateurs whenever Mikel is not present in the fold. This speech of yours is totally out if place, I must say.

Why is rohr not looking into Cyril dessers direction.

elyte89:


Cyril dressers...another MIKEL AGU LOADING

komekn:


Why is he Obagoal expired Too old, not good enough. Don't just make emotive noise based on prejudice. But give your reasons.

I am sure you must watch numerous football analysts on TV. And the first question that comes up is your current form not your past form.

Defoe was excellent for Sunderland and a definite for the world cup last season but injury has put him out of reckoning. England will not take an off form striker to the World cup infact most serious countries will not.

I do agree that Cyril Dresser should be tested before selected and has far more justification for a call up than Junior Ajayi. Is Dresser prolific is he better than Obagoal younger definitely but better

The Eredivisie is ranked in world football lower than the Chinese league. In addition the Eredivisie is the easiest league to score in among the top twenty football leagues in Europe.

You forgot to include... your statement is devoid of substance!! Lol. Why do we like to recycled player? I just don’t understand at all. You forgot that Martin performed woefully When he was invited to the team by stephen Keshi. He nor even fit trap ball.. he just dey run upanda for field like musa.

Kog45:
Sir goalkeeper win matches check Ikeme against Zambia, Ezenwa against Angola and Ajiboye against Sudan.

Better to have solid keeper.

andrew444:


England will not take an off form striker to the World Cup ? And welbeck is being called up for last friendly ?

After harry Kane and Jamie vardy,who is the highest scoring English striker ? Callum Wilson and glen murray,but they didn't call any of them,abeg if you want make example no use england,welbeck that has scored only 3 goals this season

komekn:


They have two top strikers already.

Welbeck comes in as support and or wing play. Welbeck has never really been an out and out striker.

AIG07:
Ezenwa- NPFL
Uzoho- Spain (2nd Division)
Shehu- Turkey
Ebuehi- Netherland
Ekong- Turkey
Omuero- Turkey
Idowu- Russia
Echiejile- Belgium (2nd Division)
Onazi- Turkey
S. Moses- Belgium
Musa- Russia
Ighalo- China
captain Mikel- China...

If you check the above list of players you'll find out that they play in your so called "BACKWATER LEAGUES" and don't forget that these same players make up the core of the SE.

So, having seen this, why do we make exception rules to other Nigeria players performing in the same leagues as the players given above? Is that not double standard?

We are too quick to run down some monikers here who clamour for the inclusion of players from these same leagues.

It is a known fact that the difference between our players playing in the top 5 leagues across europe and those in the BackWater Leagues is opportunity.

Finally, I won't be reeling out names. Another week of club football is around, our players will be back in action again and I trust Sir. Tbaba1234 to give us updates. Till then na siddon look mode I de.

Kog45:
The Law kai you are still on it.

I played the game very well and to declare a player fit for a match is not something done by the coach but medical team.

If a player is certified fit,coach will asked the player can you do it and if the player say Yes,then the player don't have any excuse for poor performance.

I know if Serbia match is official,nobody would give excuse for Ebuehi performance.

Humility017:

let them kick a ball in the colors of the super eagles before you pass judgements on them....
Ighalo is simply not better too...I see him as a flash in pan kind of striker.....

Kog45:
My man do you think i rate Ighalo?NO but he is better than Ajayi Junior,Sadiq Umar and Gabriel for now,so no need of me seeing the trio cos this is Super eagles we are talking about for God sake.

I don't mind if you have credible options.

Joebie:
Hahahaha for ur mind.. when we see u go know who be area.

Humility017:


I am really now worried bro...
I believe this friendly would have been more useful if the fringe players were left to play...
by so doing who knows we would have found capable replacements for some roles like the striker or midfield role....
against Serbia...watching them being unable to make single pass upfront and the striker couldn't convert one of the few chances he got....leave me worried more....

I believe a population of 180M can do much better..

tbaba1234:
Carl Ikeme is still targeting a world Cup appearance according to Fox Soccer.

Even if he is cured of Cancer today, it will take a long time for him to get into the right physical shape..

Sone Aluko's goal

Please share the link too for me. I need to download some of our matches

Thanks

markfemisgay:
Why is rohr not looking into Cyril dessers direction.

realpoacher:


After watching this Aluko goal... I will join others in shouting Sone Aluko! .. Sone Aluko!!...SONE ALUKO!!!

We certainly need a player of this caliber to drive attack. He will bench S. Moses, Musa, and Onazi.

Just imagine Moses from the right, Iwobi from AM, Sone Aluko from the left, and Mikel obi from CM. We will be deadly.

3 things Rohr is presently doing wrong:

1. Playing Iwobi on the wings instead from the middle

2. Being too conservative

3. Not emphasising on ball possession

elyte89:



No matter aw bad is physical shape is,I would prefer him to akpeyi and uzoho combined

AIG07:
Odion Jude Ighalo.
Gernot Rohr's first choice Striker.

Can anyone remind me of the national teams Jude has scored against excluding Cameroon and Luxembourg?

The memories of him scoring in the GWG were: an header against Cameroon in an international friendly match in 2015 and a well placed goal after shaking of another cameronian in a WCQ match played in 2017.

If I'm to go by his stats in the GWG, I don't expect him to be our messiah in Russia.

Looking at the bench for a capable replacement for him leaves one dejected. As there is no one to call on when things don't go as planned. We might just be towing the same path of Keshi's 2014 world cup team. How? We took a less inform and goal drought experiencing Emmanuel Emenike to the World Cup as our main point man, backing him with another toothless striker in Shola Ameobi and expecting both players to perform a miracle by doing the impossible. Alas, we all knew how it all ended.

Emenike and Ighalo seems to be the same kind of players. They're flash in the pan and inconsistent. Enough of these: he brings more to the team than scoring goals, enough of all these 'hold up plays', pressing ability etc... The first and main role of a 9 or striker is to put the ball into the net. All other things a striker brings are just additional.

Finally, if we must do well, we need two potent point, Clinical and unforgiving Strikers who can atleast convert 1 out of every 3 chances created.

Joebie:
@bolded. That goal definitely shows the attributes needed to prove you are a great winger or DM. I guess Onazi, Moses and Musa would be scared now
