I have read a lot of comments on the game, these are my thoughts on some of them 1. Iheanacho had a very decent game. I was quite impressed with his application in the first 30 minutes in particular. He was not as bad as suggested by some posters 2. Rohr is actually good tactically. His weakness is the reading of the game and his conservative nature. He does not make required changes on time and tries to play it safe. A technical assistant who reads the game better could be drafted to assist. This current Nigerian team has the potential to play breathtaking football with a more adventurous coach but Rohr has produced results. 3. We were average but should have won easily if not for some atrocious officiating. 16 Likes 4 Shares |

tbaba1234: On point 1, was he also very decent after the first 30 minutes? Also I am wondering if Odion too had played the way KC did, would he have been adjudged as very decent? But I hope Rohr can still stick with him same way he did with Ighalo and hopefully we see the best of KC in the GWG. 1 Like |

I think overall the team didn't do badly. Remember this was an away game. SA was the home team so as expected they had a lot of possession. They needed a win while we needed a draw, so it was expected that as the game progressed they become more determined and we would rather protect the result we had rather than pushing too much forward and concede in the process. But I believe we would have gotten the winner if we needed a win. We lacked Enterprise at the middle. Rohr should settle whatever he had with Onazi. Etebor is an off and on player. The attacking combination worked just fine we would have easily won 3:1 but for illiterate officials who cannot read and interprete simple offside rules. CAF should please investigate that game. And Nigerian players and officials should learn to complain immediately when match officials Robs them. That useless lines man wouldn't have had the effrontery to disallow that second goal if the first error was greeted with angry reactions. Thank God the draw was enough or we didn't end up losing the game. Against Uganda we need to rest someone like Musa, he has done enough for Nigeria this year to deserve some accolades. Let Rohr play a more experimental squad. Let him start Success and Onyekuru. Chukwueze too should get some playing time. CONGRATULATIONS NIGERIA! We are back to the AFCON. 11 Likes 1 Share |

I never thought that this game will make me come out of my ghost mode after nearly two years of ardent followership. First of, I think the stern attacks on Rohr's person, intellect and coaching tactics is way out of proportion though I'm not absolving him of any wrongdoings. We played a team who had their backs against the wall (a loss would put them on a bad position) in front of their home crowd. It's expected they do the initial gra-gra stuff. If not for poor officiating, we were 3-1 winners. We also tend to forget the altitude issues over there resulting to a thin layer of oxygen. "overdoing" yourself will lead to early gassing out. I think it was Ecuador that thrashed Argentina 6 nil in a world cup qualifier played in Quito (a place of high altitude and low atmospheric pressure. A few Argentine players even fainted on that day) We have taken to commonizing qualifying for the AFCON because Rohr qualified us forgetting that we failed to qualify on two occasions back-to-back even as defending champions in 2015. Our African Guardiola and our Special One couldn't. For the first I'm seeing the Super Eagles qualify for the World Cup and AFCON without needing calculators nor praying for the downfall of another team though we faced though oppositions. PS I'm in my early 20s can't say about the 90s. Even if we go ahead to win the AFCON some of us will still come here to say: "forget he won the AFCON, Rohr can't take us anywhere. He's inept and by the way what's AFCON for a whole Nigeria?" forgeting that a "whole" Ghana last won a trophy in 1982 (pls correct me if I'm wrong) and not even an Avram Grant could get them another. We exalt the way SA played saying they had "free-flowing and sexy game". But I'm 100% sure that if the SE played same yesterday we would still come here to say "the team played rubbish, all runnings and not bite, no shots and no final balls just headless chicken runs and long irrelevant balls" All I'm saying is this: Yes, coach Rohr isn't 100% of what we desire in a coach but he's giving us results! results! he's doing his job. so these over-blown criticisms and insults are funny to me. Asides the unfortunate loss to SA, we're unbeaten against African oppositions. On a final note, to those prophets of doom who drop doomsday prophecies before our matches just so they can come back after the match to say "didn't I say it?" una weldone, more grease to your keypads. Some are already predicting a Quarter final last bus stop for the SE for a competition that will commence in 7 months' time. SMH Same way some started singing before the World cup that "Nigeria will not win or draw Argentina" and they came here to say the "didn't I tell you?" Some say: with the array of talents at Rohr's disposal, we shouldn't be struggling at all so at that Rohr should be shown the exit door. I wonder what'd have happened to the coaches of Germany, Portugal and Spain following their early exit from the WC despite their "sexy and sleek football" plus huge arsenal of talents if they were Nigerians or employees of the NFF. Happy Sunday fam! please pardon my long epistle 25 Likes 8 Shares |

Bro, even if we played SA in a friendly today in a neutral ground expect to see the same. With Rohr I know what to expect. And we should all know this if we threw out all sentiments. I know he can win games but I know a tactical coach will always pose him problems. Well let me take on the issues u seemed to be quoting me. Firstly I never said we will not get to the QF. But I consider getting to the QF an achievement over AFCON qualification.Why? Nigeria is easily among the top 8 teams in Africa or at least should always come out of the group at an AFCON competition. I’m not even setting the bar high here. It’s just the reality, and even our TRUE Team B should be able to pull that off. That’s the bare minimum. I’m saying I’ts far reasonable celebrating that than an AFCON qualification. Those saying we failed to qualify in the past can we be sincere enough to compare the circumstances. Our failures were purely caused by administrative lapses in the glass house. Even Yusuf would qualify us for the AFCON given him the right working environment Rohr has enjoyed. You guys failed to realize that Rohr has enjoyed the backing of the NFF than any coach has ever had. I want to applaud Pinnick for that, and he also gave Oliseh that kind of support. Siasia only had a stint. Or did u guys think Rohr would have qualified us in that Siasia circumstance? Every coach deserves support. I will say it again, if Nigeria can promote an atmosphere of excellence we will exceed expectations in all walks of life within this country. Rohr has shown us his best, but his best will not bring out the best we can get considering what we have. I’m afraid at this timing we have to manage him. Even if he were an indigenous coach, I would say the same. It’s not the right time to send him out, because he still has the results going well for him. However I can already smell the coffee. That day will come, because he will not do more than he has already demonstrated. For one thing he will not exceed Keshi’s achievement. Now can you ask yourself, don’t we deserve better than Keshi’s achievement? The time will come you all will realize it’s time to move on. Nobody is asking we play like Barca. But it’s simply unacceptable that we can hardly string passes from defense to attack without losing possession in a CARELESS manner. Or am I exxagaratimg here? Somebody tell me. If the altitude is high, you reduce your running and let the ball do the running. But how is this possible when ur passing game is suspect. We still have that all-important key pass strength in us, which is why we beat their defense and scored (wrongly disallowed) in two occasions. However, we can do better as a team considering SA isn’t even a great team. Rohr should be able to spot this problem and fix it. Will he? Modified Rohr will not even match Keshi’s achievement.
