Ighalo is winning our hearts back, proving to critics he still got it, including me.
But he should thank Rhor for sticking with him cos if its another coach I dont think the story will be the same.
As for Rhor, I hate his substitutions, very stingy with sub, dude will wait till its 75min and above before making sub even if it is a dead rubber game. Am afraid he is not learning anything new, someone should tell him this he is too rigid with sub and changes.

If we don't watch it we may lose another 3 points, He may forget that Ndidi or someone else is ineligible to play next game, the man just be like robot grin grin

This is the type of match I tag 'it has come and gone' . If not for greed and favouritism,Nigeria has better qualified coaches than Rohr. Kudos guys for the win and S.O to Ighalo,I still haven't forgiven him for the WC miss though grin grin grin

Ighalo just knows how to shut his critics..good game on both legs for Ighalo...we need him to do what strikers do and we won't criticise him..

And can someone please tell white Onigbinde to make earlier subs, it was obvious some of our players were getting tired as the libyans were chasing the game..instead of adding more energy, our oga waited till they equalized..

Too be honest, I doubt Rohr can really harvest and optimize all the talents we have at our disposal..he is just too rigid!!!

Lagos traffic almost made me miss this game but God pass them.

A good game for the boys.

Ighalo has redeemed his image and must please maintain it. We don't want this to be another flash in the pan. Else we bring out our whips again.

Uzoho was truly tested today, but for some school boy errors and poor kick-outs he did pretty well.

Ndidi didn't particularly have a good game. Didn't do enough to shield the CBs.

I love Iwobi's pace together with his ability to get the team out of tight spots. Good to see him play from the middle also from the left flank.

The Oyinbo wall was stretched today and their fragility exposed. However, over-all they still put in a good game.

The two full backs did a good job overall. Except that Collins got overwhelmed later in the game.

Etebo fizzled-out as the game progressed, his inability to take charge of the midfield cost us the control of the game. Kalu was largely anonymous while Musa had an above average game.

Onyekuru still needs to gain composure in front of the goal.

We learn new things about the team with each game, and overall the team is getting better.

Overall, 10/10 for the team cos we got all 6 available points.

We should be celebrating our return to the AFCON because we only need 1 pt from our last 2 games to qualify. However, we should first endeavour to pay South Africa back in front of their home crowd.
If we can book the ticket with the SA game, for the Seychelles game we can parade an experimental squad. All those calling for the capping of one player or the other would take over the mic and a good number of our young prospects be invited and have a good look-in. If they cannot beat Seychelles in Uyo then they have nothing to offer.

There's difference between fact twisting and mistake. This was a mistake and I corrected it immediately but that can't be said of you that will continue to twist fact in the face of fact. You see ya life? grin

Give Libya Aubemeyang or Adebayor and they would be 4-2 up, better team BY FAR
Dumb comment.

This is like me saying give Nigeria Xavi and they'd have better control of the midfield and would have easily seen the game out at 2 nil.

Libya equalized & could have won because our players were snoozing!

WTF does it have to do with Rohr? You want reactionary substitutions in 1st half? You think this is Pes we are talking of?

Stop being sentimental, tactical substitutions are made to counter the opposition threat which was what the Libyan coach did and what did your coach do? If he can't react in the first half OK but what about the second half when libya made another change, some players were getting tired so is it a sin to bring in fresh players?

The coach should be blamed because it was obvious our wingers were tired and couldn't support the defence.
Kalu was tired and rightly did he sub him

Etebo too


Timing,perfect and not reactionary

When the Libyan were on top, Rohr could have made tactical change to slow the game down. Perhaps, Ogu could have come on earlier or Ajayi.

Change the wingers if they are tired. We waited till they scored.
We were giving as much as we were receiving.
It seems you are absolving the players. For crying out loud these guys were ball watching (51-79mins). Was it tiredness or just indiscipline

I only agree with the winger matter because it was obvious Kalu was at his ends by the 70th

I only agree Kalu should have come off sooner because his wing was very porous for a good part of 2nd half.

The players the Libyan coach brought on in 2nd half were effectively caged.
Except its another game we are talking about, their Number 6 was the danger man and he kept running through Kalu's loopholes no? Did the good opportunities not come from that wing? Was that Black dude (Number 6) the sub?

In my opinion only Kalu's sub wasn't timely as it was his wing that look the most porous.

None of the sub caused as much trouble as their guy wearing 6

Tonite's match clearly showed why we performed badly in Russia. Libya made a change in the first half, they scored immediately. In the second half, libya made another change, I told my wife that our coach is not reacting o and before you know it, Libya equalised, if the Libyan team was more experienced, they won't have lost this match and their coach despite just being appointed was more tactical than rohr.

If NFF like, let them stick with rohr until he disgraces this promising and energetic eagles, then their eye will clear. Foreign coaches will never be the solution to our
national team. Rohr deserve not to be with this team any longer
very true sir,how can a coach av 3 unused subs til after 70mins of the match when his team is under pressure.this coach is kind of killing our games at times

By this post you've admitted that the coach was not tactical. It pained me that fans are the ones seeing what a coach ought to see.

Same thing cost us at last World Cup against Argentina.
