Curtisaxel27:
Look.

Let's be honest.
ROHR IS A POOR COACH.

I don't understand why people are scared of admitting this simple fact. Is it because he's white?.

Rohr has a lot in common with Buhari. Both old men are never ashamed of making silly excuses for their failures.

First it was Poland. He cried "Mikel no dey".

Serbia whooped our asses. Same excuse.

ORDINARY CONGO dominated us. He cried "Bad pitch".

The English came along and used us to wipe the floor. Mikel and all. Rohr blamed it on their long travel. As if teams don't fly long distances to play Champions league matches and still return to play in their league sometimes that same week.

And then, to crown it all, the Czechs who couldn't even qualify for the WC beat us too. And the new consensus is "He is hiding his plans". WHICH MUMU PLAN ABEG?

So Southgate doesn't know that it is good to hide hide his own plan? The Polish ,Congolese, and Czech coaches didn't know that too. Only Rohr the master planner remembered to hide his super magic plan.

Of all the DM/CM's Nigeria has both home and abroad, the best Rohr could give us was a pregnant Onazi!.

I will need a lot of convincing to believe that there is no left footed leftack in Nigeria who is better than Echiejile.

And is Ighalo the best we can offer as a CF??

I seriously don't know which drunkard does Rohr's scouting for him.

Even a child will know that the team best thrives on a 3-5-2 formation. But dinosaur Rohr keeps making the same silly mistakes. Playing a slow Mikel as an AM when we have Iwobi. Playing Shehu( a DM) as RB when we have Ebuehi.


And for all the blind fans here led by Mujtahida and his cohorts who will soon brand me a Senegalese or Algerian, you never cease to marvel me. Anybody who thinks a team that cannot string three uninterrupted passes in midfield against Congo and Czech rep will do well at the WC deserves to be examined by a psychiatrist.

Let nobody deceive you. We'll be lucky if we get a draw against Iceland.

All thanks to Gernot Rohr.

*crawls back to my hole*

My man ..allow them to confuse their opponents in their delusion...I go too laugh after their 3 matches

WE LOVE OUR AVERAGE TEAM
Show your love by liking this post

yes o!

Who ever does not believe or perhaps have lost faith in this team should pack their load(not from this thread) and go and pitch their tents with other nations. Atleast there are other 31nations going to the World Cup.

Since you all know and believe we'll crash out after the third game, then Save yourself from unnecessary and avoidable mental and emotional stress and keep off from anything SEs related matters(you can as well burn the jerseys, stop coming back to the thread to read news and updates).

As for me and others who still have FAITH, we will keep believing and supporting the team irrespective of the outcome @ the mundial.

Kog45:
Oga icon4s i was on ghost mode reading different views and it was like whao Nigerians really love eagles..

Oh really surprised seeing a whole Chriskel losing hope and lamenting like a lost soldier in the wilderness.Initially i thought he wasn't him until he responded to a salvo from safarigirl and his friend Mujtahida nailed him.

He came out and said he doesn't know what came over him.Initially i thought he must have jammed metaljigsaw the broken bottle man cos Chriskel i know is a passionate super eagles fan.

My good friends Michael2 and goldfish80 never dissapoint.They remain real critics of Rohr even when he was winning believing tactically the man is not getting it right and to be candid Rohr is not getting it right now going by the friendlies.

Safarigirl,TheSuperNerd,icon79 O pari master and Joebie remain unshaken still showing total support for eagles.

Really surprised to see some monikers who are always on ghost mode came out in full force to share their views and different opinions ranges from team leadership of Mikel,Moses an obstacle to the team formation, Ighalo not good enough, Uzoho not that solid,Balogun/Ekong look vulnerable, Shehu finding it difficult,Iwobi should be used as AM,Mikel and Onazi supremacy rumours etc.

I sighted tbaba1234 doing his thing with hope,BasconVanVelli looking hopeful,Elyte89 showing his comical approach to douse the tensions in the house.Metaljigsaw looking at the team critically before he play his bet.Marzt still showing his undying love for some players in the team.Omanbala raising up his mind for better outing. Mujtahida believe there is no tension. Goke and Oasis believe there is hope if Rohr get it right.Andrew444,Realpoacher,Soetanoluwa,junnyake showing their moods with critical analysis of the team.

But forgiveness and Komkne really surprised me with their great analytical views of the team.They are indeed a lover of super eagles.

Icon4s reading your full comprehensive post showed patriotism of a real super eagles fan who is ready to swim with the team in any circumstances.

I think we need to continue showing that love even in unwarranted situations cos is our team and we have been long here talking about this team,so the recent performance should not weakened us like my good friend Chriskel who wasn't happy and i will not blame him cos if Australia could walloped Czech republic 4 nil why Nigeria losing to the same Czech.

Pls we should stop saying Rohr is hiding his check cards for WC,no the team is not getting it right and truth must be told.Let's hope for better performance at WC.

The way you have analysed us eh, I salute you Sir as we can only pray things get better from now on.

My preferred starting eleven.

..........................................Akpeyi...............


.........................Omeruo..................Troost................Ogu


..............Ebuehi...............Ndidi................Onazi..............Brian.................


.............................................Mikel.........................

..........................Victor...................................Iwobi.........

I will prefer Akpayi because he is simply better, and I will choose Ogu ahead of Omeruo because his passes are needed but if he fumbles Omeruo should replace him.

Arguably, Victor moses and Iwobi are the most skillfull and innovative player in the team. They will create alot of chances for the team and they both have an eye for goal.

Mickael2:



Rohr is using that to confuse our opponents so they will think corner kicks are our weak points

Are you sure?? that is the issue.

Abeg who get link for Iceland vs Ghana game

GHANA VS ICELAND



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7s3vVwb1qU4

Iceland 1 Ghana 0

Iceland look good - hence the reason why they topped there qualifying group - Nigeria i hope you are watching - dont take these guys for granted or they will shock you

We really have to find to way to defend set pieces, espicially against a team like Iceland. Set pieces are part of their bread and butter.

Czech Republic Keeper Vaclik: How We Outsmarted Super Eagles

June 7, 2018 8:13 pm

By Adeboye Amosu:

Czech Republic goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik described Wednesday’s 1-0 friendly win against the Super Eagles of Nigeria as a valuable one, reports Completesportsnigeria.com.

Got something to say? The let your voice be heard! Back Pass *Sport related topics only*
Karel Jarolim’s men were thrashed 4-0 by Australia in another friendly fixture last Friday but bounced back with an impressive showing against the World Cup-bound West Africans.


“It was a valuable victory for us. We controlled the game and created a number of chances too,” Vaclik was told Tyden.cz.

“They (Nigeria) played better in the second half but we stood up to them. It was a different performance from us than against Australia.”

Czech Republic head coach, Karel Jarolim, made a number of changes to the team that lost to the Australians and also tinkered with the formation, adopting a 3-5-2 as against the 4-3-3 they lined up with against Australia.

And the 29-year-old FC Basel shot stopper stated that the players acquainted themselves well in the game.

“We were more compact when under pressure. We also used it against Germany in the qualifier and it was our best performance,” he said.

“It’s good that we have two options among which we can switch."

I cant post the link for some reason. Go to Zorro Stream. It always works for me.

Omo I can't lie, that Iceland clap sweet o.

Martz101:



i talked about this corner issue after the England game and metaljigsaw said very soon i will complain about there boot.

they are very poor at it, maybe lack of concentration, can't someone give them order and assign player to each of them, i always see that from a captain or a key defenders.

The thing tire me.
I dnt know if they are scare to jump or what.
Their inability to defend set piece if so annoying bro. Anybody saying otherwise is just deceiving himself.
So so annoying

I watched Croatian game and also watching Iceland match, we will not just end up at the bottom table, we will end up with 0 points with 3 heavy losses. (No offensce)

ICELANDISH TEAM IS FAST BUT GHANA IS NOT SHOWING COORDINATION

OPINION

NIGERIA A'

The new tactical shape Rohr has been trialling might be key to progress in Russia, but it requires dropping one of the side's star turns

If there is any consolation to be had from these most recent friendlies, it is that Nigeria typically underwhelm in pre-World Cup warm-ups.

The readiest example is 1998, of course, but the Super Eagles did manage a fortunate draw against Greece and a hapless loss against the United States only four years ago. In 2010, the sole victory en route to South Africa was a narrow defeat of North Korea.

Yet, this is a nation whose superstition is only bested by its deep pessimism. With the national side, while a great deal of feeling is involved, there is a nod to that famous sentiment from 'Heat': never get involved in something you cannot walk away from in 30 seconds. With the World Cup around the corner, there seems already to be a mental disengagement.

Perhaps that might do the Super Eagles good, to not be burdened by the heft of expectation. There is often a weird balancing act required for footballing competition: enough confidence to not be intimidated, but not so much that you become your own biggest foe. If that exhilarating win over Argentina last year helped with the former, three defeats on the spin have certainly reinforced the latter.

Gernot Rohr has declared himself unperturbed, and rightly so.

Friendlies are more about rhythm and squad cohesion than anything properly tactical - Jorge Sampaoli famously decried them, averring he'd rather spend time on the training ground with his Argentina side; Germany and Spain have posted poor results recently, and those are the big favourites, along with Brazil.

And yet, for all that, there lingers a worry: Nigeria has never gone into a World Cup with so little clarity regarding its system.

That is not necessarily a bad thing in itself. Qualifying is a whole different bucket of fish, and a style conducive to exerting superiority over regional foes might very well fall flat on the global stage. There is a far smaller margin for error.

Argentina's gung-ho attacking style may have seen them blitz South American qualifying but, by his own admission, it left him praying in anguish whenever they had to defend. Come the Mundial proper, gone was the diamond with two strikers; in its place was a solid two banks of four and Lionel Messi behind a lone striker. It captured few imaginations, but Argentina made the final.

So perhaps it isn't the worst thing in the world that Rohr seems to be dallying more and more with a 3-5-2. Having swaggered through a tough qualifying group playing 4-2-3-1, there seems an understanding that greater solidity is required on the world stage.

It also alleviates the concern over the Super Eagles striking position by sheer weight of numbers - two is greater than one, if math is to be believed - while accommodating both the calculating John Obi Mikel and the twinkle-toed Alex Iwobi in central areas.

There are only two real losers, as it were, within this shape: Kelechi Iheanacho and Victor Moses, for different reasons.

For the former, there lingers a suspicion that he does not work well with Odion Ighalo.


Is this how the @NGSuperEagles could line up in a 3-5-2 formation vs. Croatia?

The Changchun Yatai man seems set to lead the line, but offers the same sort of movements as Iheanacho, meaning they often to get in each other's way.

Neither is strong enough in terms of linking up; this was evident against Poland, and surely was enough to convince Rohr. The situation could, of course, change if Rohr tires of Ighalo's lack of goals.

Victor Moses Nigeria 2018

Moses though finds himself the odd man out yet again. Four years ago, a rapid loss of form, aggravated by inactivity at club level, saw him relegated to the bench at the tournament proper.

This time, the concern is purely tactical—aside the wing-back role, which he has played with aplomb at Chelsea for two season, there is no real space for him in a system without de facto wingers.

The 26-year-old does not play well enough in tight spaces or have the vision required to play as a number 10, and drifts too far wide in search of space when played upfront (witness against Czech Republic), negating the entire of point of having two upfront.

Rohr, however, seems determined to crowbar him into the side anyway. If indeed the German has settled on that system, he will have a tough decision to make.

http://c.newsnow.co.uk/A/941269751?-18946:4882

Which SE fan wouldn't want to believe this?
As for me I'm keeping my fingers crossed just in case it's the other way around.. But I'm still hopeful that you are right.

forgiveness:
Although, I don't agree with Rohr on certain things but I can see what he is doing to our rivals.

He has confused them so far and they will be surprised when we play them because now Rohr has made these teams to believe illusion about the team formation and team selection.

I like that but I don't see what some players will bring to the team.

Anyway, that's a good one coming from Rohr. The first victim will be Croatia.

Easy, bench Moses. Play Simy and Iheanacho upfront.

Once again, Mtchew. Nonsense plastic fan, abeg shift make we see road

where those Ghanians

Ah you need to be watching soccer Africa, to see how they tearing Nigeria apart, and underating our team..

Idah Peterside can't even talk

This is true guys, Simon is Liverpool bound.

Here is what klopp said about the imminent move ;

Reacting on Liverpool Echo, Klopp said: I love Simon because he is similar to Sadio Mane, he should have been with Nigeria at the World Cup but for injuries, he has blossomed in the Belgian League and has been monitored on a number of times. He is capable of giving Liverpool wings.”

Though wasn't a strong fan of his but I am so happy this will make up for his world cup miss.

My best news since this week
