I don't know what to say sef.

The truth be say we are not there yet but can still qualify with determination.

Up Eagles, behind you still

Kai so all those ones when dem dey pray since dey sing, dey instagram na just to motivate themselves. Na Rohr no get believe. From the start he say our target too high.

Abeg wetin be that Nike number? I wan order Naija jersey size for Marcus.

Mujtahida:
It's not tactics!!!
Whatever the tactics Croatia would have won. The team has no believe.
Check out Peru v Denmark, Peru kept up the fight till the last whistle. That's the mark of a team with desire.

Croatia just blow us soft breeze, na so we fall yakata.

Rohr is the white mediocre version of Godwin Koko Uwua.

funny game.
dodgy Nigerian performance. I think the Croats and Nigerians could leave at the group stage.
Rohr and his guys need some soul searching. if they loose the remaining two in same manner. ...he will definitely be out.
side note- for those comparing Rohr to Keshi...pls hold the brakes.

What will make me hate Rohr for life is, if eventhough we exit group stage and he fails to cap Ebuehi for Nigeria. That will be Netherland's prayer right now.

Did the super eagles of Nigeria actually lost this game 2 goals to nothing ?
I find it hard to believe we played without believe, no bit no spirit and over 170 million Nigerians are behind you. This is very depressing.

As for Rohr ,if this team didnt reach semi final he must be fired!
I am very very disappointed

Dat coach is an Idiot

THAT'S IT. OUR WORK IS CUT OUT FOR US. OUR BOYS MUST PUT THEIR BODIES ON THE LINE. RIHR MUST RECEIVE TACTICAL SENSE.

Dreamswayne:

LMFAO.... our team is shit

gustav25:


We are Deceivers Fc with a good deceiver for a Coach

We played our best players in the wrong positions

komekn:
Unfortunately I can not see how we can beat Argentina and Iceland.

We have been. TOTALLY DISSAPOINTING.

Nigeria offered nothing today.

But on the optimistic side we only have to beat Iceland and Argentina. No fear its ALL or NOTHING.

If Rohr doesnt sabotsge us, i knw for a fact that we can at least beat Argentina. Iceland are way too disciplined at the back. How will we work against them? And trust me they already know he will try 3-5-2 against iceland and those ones will pack the bus

Make I go eat, shower and watch some funny videos. Illnnees some time off this thread. I'll reconvene during the next game. So long for now.

People are mean. Gernot Rohr used the friendlies to discover our weakness and then deployed it. He might have gotten another juicer coaching offer, and is looking for every opportunity to be sacked.

Bros forget determination jur, our coach doesn’t even look determined.

bengine:
Rohr got his tactics wrong in all the friendlies in the first half..don't know if that wasn't enough to teach him some lesson...one thing is with the 4-2-3-1..we just weren't really creating chances..and we still stuck to it..

When he said many months ago that he knows his starting line up against Croatia I thought he was joking. That speech and the line up confirmed that he's very conservative and very predictable.
It's only Etebo for Onazi that is different.
Asides the Cameroon match Ighalo has never been impressive and he only managed just one goal in that match.
.
.

I dreamt of Nigeria winning this world cup. Please if you are close to this team ask them not to turn my dream into nightmare. They have 2 games to redeem themselves.

sontoly:
Game was lost before we kicked d ball, Shehu and Ighalo are so useless they have no business in d squad, mikel abeg abeg play DM u wont succeed as AM, what da Bleep is Iwobi doing on d wings ?? musa na waste abeg, dont know how bad players make d squad sef. Then come put Iheanacho d only attacking threat for bench chai !!!!

ROHR KILLED US

COOL10:
. I'm telling you. Abeg next time,I don't want to see Iheanacho on the bench. How Rohr does it I don't care to know. And please he should play Iwobi and Iheanacho together. Their camaraderie is similar to The Oyinbo Wall's. Bring Ighalo in the 2nd half. Another thing,I don't want to see Shehu play any group stage match again. Now Ebuehi will have a lot to do. Mtcheww

ROHR KILLED US

goldfish80:

It's not entirely the faulty of the coach. This team lacks big tournament experience. Most of these guys are playing a big tournament for the Super Eagles for the first time.
You can't buy experience.

Rohr is a 100 percent to blame.
He got his tactics 100 percent wrong. Mikel should be playing as a DLP. Iwobi as a 10, Etebo out wide.
Rohr becomes nothing more than a budget Godwin Uwua when he can't motivate his players. My eyes are open now. I was hoping he'd change and spring up a surprise but this guy is tactically useless.
Keshi is a better tactician

Amodu was a better Tactician

Siasia is a Million times better
Oliseh is not his mate.

I hate this guy man. It's so painful that Croatia didn't even need to get off first gear to beat us COMFORTABLY.
Bleep Rohr abeg!!

Wetin una dey talk sef ? Come if we had just played our normal naija gra gra style. We would have won the game.

Siasia, Amodu Shuaibu and Keshi (Oliseh I can't guarantee)would have won this game if they coached with our 23 players. Croatia where shit in this game for chtist sake.

There is no where in the world where you bench your top goal scorer for someone like Ighalo.

Shehu should not have played this game even as a sub.

Iwobi has to be given control of the midfield.

Etebo kept passing backwards, Mikel needs to be an official DM, I saw what the coach was trying to do today with Mikel, it was excellent but it would have worked better with Iheanacho than Ighalo (someone who can get into spaces to score than someone who thrives in the crowd by bullying defenders)

If Rohr plays our young team. Plays the 3-5-2 formation. We can beat Argentina and Iceland.

Ighalo is an ok player but like Safarigirl said he is unlucky. Even Iwobi scored the day he played as tge main striker against Argentina.

2 cups of iced tea for you.
You got that spot on. Doubt anyone will hire him after that shambolic bereft of ideas display. The team had zero belief.

Shukusheka:
Actually it is not nothing, I expect the Eagles to improve very much against Iceland and I won't be surprised if we win that game. Nigeria has a knack of always starting poorly in major tournaments but improve as the tournament goes on, just like in the last world cup when we drew Iran but ended up defeating Poland.

I don't know if Rohr didn't learn anything from the friendlies. Play 3-5-2, pair Mikel with Ndidi, play Iwobi in the number 10 role, pair Iheanacho with Ighalo upfront. How is this simple too difficult to understand or execute?

It's not poland, Bosnia

Oga.... We all know for a fact that it is tactics and nothing more. I can understand if he started Ighalo to wear out the opponent but by 35 mins, change ur tactics to 3-5-2 which brings out the best in your team... thw dude refused.

Small time people will say we shouldnt talk conspiracy theories. As far as I am concerned, this match was bought. Cos even a blind bat knows that there is no reason to bungle one's first match and that u put your best foot forward

the biggest culprits in the encounter is rohr. rohr goofed by:
1. deploying etebo as the anchor man whereas he has all the qualities and lungs to be played as a box to box midfielder. ndidi wouldhave fared
better in that position where he has distinguished himself since moving to europe.

2. mikel with all due respect should be dropped in the bench or deployed to sit at front of the back 4. playing him as the teams #10 was seem
not to work most especially against teams out of the shores of africa. he doesnt have the lungs, agility and shooting ability to be played
behind a striker. that role should be iwobi's for now.
3. victor moses should be taught how to play for the team. he seemed too individualistic during the encounter. he is one of the leaders in the
team and should be made to understand that he has a lot of responsibility in this young team.
4. the team's best formation is playing with 3 at the back where more bodies will be added to the middle to choke the opposition team from
creating something meaningful. i am too sure and confident that if this tactics was deployed the crots would have lost this very match

It's not big tournament bla bla bla. Not at all!! Iceland get big tournament experience? Look at how they contained Messi.

It's not the defeat that hurts me. We gave in too easily, just too easily.

Netherlands can have him, rohr will never use him except for friendlies in the second half

How can Rohr play 3-5-2 without Ebuehi.

He got his tactics right.I think Ebuehi failed a late fitness test.

My line-up for Iceland and Argentina games.

Uzoho

Ebuehi. Awaziem Balogun. Ekoong. V.Moses

Ndidi. Etebo

Mikel
Iheanacho. Iwobi

This will be our formation if we actually want to qualify from the group.

Mikel as AM,Nacho and Iwobi as false 9's and V.Moses as LWB.

No wonder,Rohr saw this coming and was too conservative in his press conference.

am pained cos the bosnian team we played in 2014 were far better than this croatian team, what a mess!

mikel was the worst 9ja player on the pitch

elyte89:
Mikel had no biz in DT second half,I don't know y peeps are afraid to criticize d captain.

We could av won DT match,Mikel too cost us abeg


Both goals were not shehus fault,y una dey blame sheu

What abt ekong DT forgot he was a footballer,turned into a sumo wrestler,a professional player for DT matter

Abeg sack rohr,Mikel shld annouce his retirement after d press conference. let d younger ones express demselves ..chriskels,reminder,quit HONOURABLY


#BRING BACK OUR ASOEBI BOYS

I no say master of excuses go don prepare better one for the press.

I was the first person that ever called Rohr a tactically inept coach here but u lot said Chriskels was over reacting.

Oya ooo, e dun sup.
