Rohr To Stay.

Who is with me on this?

Click like for Rohr to stay and share for him to be sacked.
Sir it's simple,we cannot decide but the NFF.Hope he has the mind to survive the politicking of NFF.

But big question,can Rohr do more than this tactically?

it seems you have no idea that iwobi too can play as a false 9?

Ighalo just proved to every one why I never rate him at all.

I am even ashamed right now...even martins and osaze would have done better.
Musa was already filling for that. Sure we should've tried out a 4-5-1 instead then but with that 3-5-2, Ighalo attributes made sense. Ighalo flopped. Messed us up.

What happened to time wasting. we had a draw on our hands.... how about passing and running deep. oh I've forgotten we were under pressure.

No bi person wey get energy go pass dey run?

The pressure was due to the fresh legs Argentina brought into the game and our tired players.

Ogu for Etebo would have help calm things down.

What was Rohr thinking sef?
He ought to have known that the last 10mins will be baptism of fire!

Salisu too.,. I expected him to have suggested they choke things up. But alas reverse is the case.
Didn't need to calm things down. Needed to keep pressing them. We needed a disruptor to buzz around as Etebo was getting tired

Just like Harry Kane goal in that friendly, Uzoho reacted slow to Rojo's strike. He has a slow slow reaction to me.


But he is far from the top 3 I'd like to blame.

You can't blame Uzoho for that goal.

I have rewatched the Ighalo miss thanks to the gifs and my keen observation is that the chance was a 50/50 chance which would have been converted by a very confident striker. A highly motivated, pumped up Musa may have scored that goal.
Ighalo should have attempted to bring the ball to his left and finished with a curler. But instead, took the easy option of shooting the ball and hoping it doesn't deflect off target by the defender.
Strikers are trained to be as composed as snippers but without confidence, you'd never hit the target.
Ighalo was right in front of the goal post! Even far to the right. How he took that angle na im I no understand. It was way too far.

Nonsense if we had held on Ighalo would have been been commended for his effort and his one big miss which really should have been a penalty would have been swept under the rug. Such is life but like I said before we win and lose as a team.

Exactly. Pavon changed the game for Argentina. Rohr has himself to blame for not reacting to that substitution.
I expected a solid defensive bloc in the last 10 mins of the game.

Tell that to those who supported his inclusion to this world cup party not to Chriskels who never wanted him anywhere around the national team. I knew Ighalo long before now. Dude is a striker that gets only one goal out of twenty clear cut chances. No serious team would go with a striker as useless to a tourney as big as the world cup.

Why should issues among players make Rohr to drop Onazi?

Yo but we had this argument here about the goal the guy from Croatia scored(can't remember who it was with). But my take was that Ighalo would have brought the ball down and shot. The same exact scenario plays out and homes completely falls my hands. I tell you that miss weak me die.

It was obvious Idowu had two players on him and there was a lot of space in his area. Argentina saw it and used that side to punish us.

He should have brought in Joel Obi to cover those areas but the coach just spoil market.

I am not happy at all.

I am not one who likes complaining about referees but I think the ref got the penalty call wrong. They say football is a game of who makes the less mistakes. Rojo had no reason to head the ball to his own arm. 100% mistake on Rojo's part, he had all the time in the world to adjust his body towards the ball and hit it properly but he didn't and to think that he should be red carded in the first half for high boot on Iheanacho... This same guy went on and scored the winner.

Okay just an example. Goalkeeper wants to hand the ball in his own box but he doesn’t judge it properly so touches it with his hands outside the box. It’s a sure yellow and a possible red card.How is a defender playing with his hand in the box, entirely up to him and no one else, if he does so or not, allowed to be clumsy and judge the ball wrong or be clumsy and just bad at football by directing it to his own hand, and get away with it?

Rohr is known for building his sand castle and stepping on it. I don't know if it was player issues but Rohr lost his ways. It was clear to see when he didn't take Mikel out and put a Joel Obi or Onazi to steel up the midfield. Rohr that I know takes Mikel off around 70 minutes but every thing changed at the world cup.

He should have subbed Musa for Ebuehi since Musa spent alot of energy attacking the Argentine full back.
He was totally gassed out so couldn't help Idowu in the final 10 mins. Rohr wasn't smart at all.
Maybe the occasion got to him.

He didn't need 20 chances at Watford and quite frankly Ighalo has probably not had 20 chances for the super eagles.
The world cup is over so you are free to name who you got in mind. Mine are Taiwo Awoniyi and Isaac Success.

That's true. Rohr under normal circumstances would have removed Mikel.

If this is how he to step on us, then he has to go.

I also thought about removing Ahmed but after I saw Ighalo missed, I changed mind.

Anyhow anyhow, he should brought someone in to help Idowu.

On the other hand, Idowu really tried to win balls and give passes that led to counter attacks.
