Bunique: Very well said! I have thought along the same line since we got knocked out and the masses started throwing stones at Rohr. I remember the same happened with Lagerback. People forget that we were beating Greece and so seriously dominating them that we could have run riot in that game and then Oga Sani Kaita struck! We went down to 10 men the Greek manager immediately brought on another striker and we lost a game that seemed to be heading towards a routine win. The next game against Korea which we needed to win to go through Oga Yakubu missed empty net from 3 yards and we end up drawing and getting knocked out. After all that Lagerback was called Lagerbeer and poured with every insult imaginable. shey na him kick person get red card abi na him miss empty net? The good thing is after the disappointment with Nigeria he went on to coach Iceland and helped them overachieve and thereby reminded doubters of is management ability. As for Nigeria, we went on to appoint Eguavon and then Siasia and then failed to qualify for AFCON 2012 with all our 'superstars' ![]() The same may happen with Rohr the way Nigerian fans are going.

i've read many reasons of what caused our ouster but i think alot of them are unrealistic. for one based on the calibre of players we paraded it wasn't a huge surprise that we couldn't make it out of our group. compared to croatia and argentina most of our players are not world beaters. people may say o but argentina was terrible but it took a french team full of world class players to best them. As much as rohr has his faults in the way he coached the super eagles at the world cup the truth is if odion had buried his chances we probably won't be having this conversation. sacking him with the mindset that the next person will perform magic and tactically turn your average players to world beaters is plainly delusional. you can have the best tactics but if your personnel are not up to scratch then unless your opposition is seriously off form and you are playing out of your skin more often than not you will lose. even klopp that said with lesser teams you can beat more talented opposition why is he not coaching bristol city or watford or huddersfield to prove his point. he prefers to coach teams that have appreciable levels of talent that will give him a chance. bringing it back to why we didn't succeed in russia i think the attacking talent we paraded let us down. apart from musa nobody brought their A game as far as the striking department was concerned. ighalo, KC and moses didn't do enough in my opinion. we can blame rohr for not giving iwobi and simmy enough chances to show what they could do |

The most competitive league in the world? Yea right! Trust me, if you can transfer any one of he EPL powerhouses: ManCity, ManU, Chelsea, or Liverpool to La Liga, they would all be competing for the 4th position or lower in La Liga. The EPL is just marketing but if you want to watch great football La Liga is the best league in the world. O pari komekn: |

You made some good points except for trying to blame VicMo for our attacking woes in Russia. Except for our first game against Croatia, VicMo played as a Wingback in Russia. As regards to the rest of your arguments, here are some facts I would leave with you and everyone else: 1. Gernot Rohr is definitely NOT the right man for the job. This world cup clearly exposed his technical deficiencies as a coach. And the fact that after nearly two years at the helm, Rohr still doesn't know what's his best team is sadly disappointing. 2. Based on everything I have seen, Rohr has taken this team as far as he could take them. Fact: the 3 first games he had with this team - vs Zambia (away), Algeria (home), and Cameroun (home) were his best performances with this team. Since that time the team standard has actually started going down rather than improving. 3. Samson Siasia would have done much better with this team if he were given the same support and the freehand Gernot Rohr received. Having said all that, I still think we should retain Rohr simply because firing him would take us back another 4 years. For instance, if we are to fire Rohr today, the NFF isn't gonna replace him with Siasia or with even a more competent foreign coach. Rather, if we fire him, the NFF would replace him with that charlatan, Yusuf! To me, that would be going from frying pan to fire. Hence, all things considered, I believe that it's in our best interest to stick with Gernot Rohr at least through the AFCON. Let's give him a mandate to make, at least, the finals of AFCON or get fired. O pari chrisooblog: 1 Like |

Omo, did you watch Argentina vs France, and did you see the kind of trouble Kylian Mbappe caused the ageing Argentine defenders and DMs? Well, that's the kind of trouble Tyrone Ebuehi would have caused them as well. Take it from someone who knows, a few minor tweaks would have easily won us that game against Argentina: - play Ebuehi RWB or LWB - play VicMo LWB or RWB - play Musa central And see how they would've ran the Argies ragged. As regards to Tyrone having trouble defending Messi, Ehuehi is actually a better defender than people make him out to be. And in addition, he wasn't gonna defend Messi all by himself. After all, the primary responsibility for marking Messi in that game was on Etebo not Idowu. Bottom line, Rohr goofed up big time because he doesn't know what his best team is.

West Ham are close to completing the double signing of former Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere and Ukraine forward Andriy Yarmolenko. England international Wilshere, 26, has been looking for a new club since his Gunners contract expired at the end of June. A fee of about 20m euros (£17.66m) is understood to have been agreed with Borussia Dortmund for Yarmolenko. The 28-year-old has scored 35 times in 77 appearances for his country. Wilshere’s career has been badly affected by injuries but the Hammers are confident he can make a meaningful contribution to a squad being overhauled by new manager Manuel Pellegri source : https://www.infonewsnigeria.com/discussion/1483/west-ham-close-on-jack-wilshere-and-andriy-yarmolenko-signings?new=1

Abeg, mek we hear word jor! This is an average England team as always. They are where they are today for two reasons: - they received a favorable draw. Nigeria would have qualified from their group! - two, the referee helped them against Colombia coupled with a little bit of luck during the penalty kicks. All things being equal, they would've been eliminated in the round of 16, so I don't understand all the hype. O pari komekn: 1 Like |

going forward we need to be strategic in where we want our team to be in the world cup. currently the super eagles based on the calibre of players we have now is only good enough to compete favourable in the group stage maybe with good fortune of easier groups or lucky result we might make it to the second round which is usually our bus stop. we have to honestly access ourselves and say this is where we are currently so what can we do to raise our level? in my opinion if we start doing the right things today it will probably take us 3-4 to put ourselves in the position to realistic compete to win the world cup. to get to that level first administration has to continue to maintain high professionalism not just for this tournament but every single one going forward. for coaching history tells us indigenous coaches of national teams usually lead their countries to winning the tournament so we need to start grooming our coaches whether ex-internationals or locally based we have to ensure they meet minimum criteria of coaching knowledge with requisite qualifications. in the short term attach them to good foreign coaches with the view to them eventually taking over. of course integrity, high tactical knowledge plus managerial nous will be criteria chosen to select such nigerian coaches. nff can help by insisting you must have the caf qualifications to coach npfl sides. for players we need to change how we scout players. from a foreign based angle we should select knowledgeable, trustworthy scouts preferably ex players based in those targeted countries to look for nigerian players with high bias for skill/technical ability. let them also establish relationship with these nigerian born players from their 10s to teens. for back home same thing but with emphasis on choosing skilful players we need to weed jambodies out of the system. also the league is the bedrock of any football country. we need to get it to a top level that any coach we hire will not hesitate to pick a player from. us fans also have a part to play by giving real supportership no half hearted conditional backing only when the team is doing well. take a cue from other countries in that regard 1 Like |

AIG, you normally make a lot of sense but not this time. Listen, all the players who played for us in Russia (including Kelechi) had enough games this past season to keep them match sharp. Our players tend to gas out early in Russia not because we were never in control of the game in any of our matches. You can control the game with or without the possession, mind you! But our problem is that we never controlled any aspect of the games, rather we were always chasing the ball. And you get tired out easily when you're chasing and chasing the ball throughout the game. Hence, the lack of game time has nothing to do with what happened to us in Russia. In that case, all the blames should squarely go to the technical crew. O pari AIG07: 1 Like |

Icon79:I'm not doubting Ebuehi's defensive ability but I just don't think he would have really performed better than Idowu. It's not about being responsible for marking messi. Messi playing on the right would always go through his wing. Though I still believe Ebuehi is the better of the two. |

People here told us how good a player is, and that he is next to guguru and epa but we all saw what happened. They are here again telling us how a player would have changed the game if he was played, forgetting that they have argued he was in the team to occupy a position but when he was played in another position he gave out penalty in a tensed match. They have also forgotten to tell us how many attacking moves Victor Moses made in that position against Argentina or is it the case of anywhere belle face analysis again? Was it not obvious that the wing backs on that day were pegged back by Argentina's wingers or should I say our wing backs were more defensive in that role rather than been offensive, and that that was the tactics in play? Which sane coach will tell you to expose your wing when two players are placed against each of your wing backs? One is even comparing Ebuehi to Mbappe. Hahahahahahahahaha! A winger to a RB. Hahahahahahahahaha! ![]() Saying Ebuehi would have caused the ageing Argentine defense problem when Victor Moses who is the best dribble in our team never dare tried it against Argentina. Hahahahahahahahaha! What an irony! ![]() How can one even think of a makeshift player in a role he caused a penalty just previously in a very crucial match? ![]() Unfortunately, they are blaming the same Rohr who dey praised to high heavens before the mundial began and had done everything to accuse, abuse and defame those who dared spoke against Rohr.

Galatasaray are hoping they can conclude a loan deal with Everton for their 21-year-old winger Henry Onyekuru. Joining the club last summer, Onyekuru was on loan at Anderlecht, where he scored nine goals in 19 games. He came back to Everton in January due to a knee injury that kept him out for the rest of the season. Now he is approaching full fitness. His club are hoping to get another loan deal sealed. And Sky Sports believes that Galatasaray are at the front of the queue. The club mentioned on Twitter that "formal negotiations" had begun for the forward.

DEAL, DESPITE INTEREST FROM OTHER TOP CLUBS STE HOARE @Stehoare 3 hours ago 3,303 reads 2 min Taiwo Awoniyi is set to sign a contract extension with Liverpool, despite interest from some of Europe’s other top clubs, according to reports. Barcelona, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Manchester City and Tottenham have all shown an interest in the 20-year-old, but he is expected to sign an extension with the Reds. Unfortunately, work permit issues mean that the Nigerian U23 star will have to spend another season out on loan. He’s already had spells at FSV Frankfurt, NEC Nijmegen and Royal Excel Mouscron and he’s set to spend another season abroad. However, the calibre of clubs interested in taking the Nigerian forward on loan indicates how well he’s done elsewhere, with Monaco one of the sides hoping to take him for the season and maybe even longer. Awoniyi could sign for the former French champions for a two-year spell, after which, Liverpool will be hoping he can finally qualify for a work permit. https://readliverpoolfc.com/2018/07/09/taiwo-awoniyi-set-to-sign-new-liverpool-deal-despite-interest-from-other-top-clubs/ |
