AIG07: Rebuilding? Mourinho is just a Gernot Rohr 3.0. No more no less. He has failed to move with the current trends in soccer. His tactics is more reactionary than proactive. He sits and waits to see what his opposite number has in store for him before he deals. Unfortunately, this is why his team concedes early in games. He in his own case at least knows what to do to neutralize a threat. Gernot Rohr is clueless both in his line ups and his substitutions as well as his tactical nous. |

TheGoodJoe: Leave them, let them continue to praise mediocrity. That is what they did when Rohr qualified us to the WC but went there to disgrace us. Since then, some of the praise-singers have still not recovered from the shocking and early exit. I can beat my chest that this style of play will not take us past the second round in the nations cup. If we think the likes of morocco, Senegal, tunisia, egypt or even cameroon will let us get draws with shambolic performance, then we have another thing coming. I'm not just a fan of Rohr's style |

Keshi drew Iran, he was lucky against Bosnia. He went to a world cup tournament with players like Gabriel, Uchebo etc. If you want to mention a good coach please do not call keshi. He was just a lucky coach. As much as I do not really like Rohr he has done a very good job. No Mikel, no Moses, no Ndidi, no Ighalo, no Shehu, no Aina, no Ebuhei No Problem! During Keshi time the bench were made up of suspect players. 10 Likes 1 Share |

We have over flogged this Rhor issue on this thread I had promised myself I won't be adding an extra word to the insanity I have been reading here since yesterday. Look Rohr is not perfect. He only needs to improve in reading the game as it unfolds before his eyes. In every other facet of managing a team he is good enough and so for me he is at the same level as the players he is managing. His handicap may yet come to haunt us, this is a possibility if he doesn't improve but I think his good far out weighs his bad. We are lucky to have him right now. Every international coach needs at least 2 tournaments to be fairly judged. We'll see how we get on next year. By the way why haven't Spurs sacked Pochenttino? His reading of games is just like Rohr's. 7 Likes 1 Share |

junnyjake: Being young in management terms doesn't cut it as an excuse. He's been at spurs for 5yrs! And he didn't join them as a rookie manager did he? ![]() What the majority of Naija fans truely deserve is a manager who would call up a completely unheard of Gabriel Okechukwu for an important qualifier and give him the no.10 shirt for a country as big in the game as Nigeria and leaves him on the bench! Then when his team starts crumbling he doesn't have to have the balls to bring him on. Haha They deserve a manager who would play Seth Sincere in the heart of defence in an important qualifier instead of several other defenders supposedly well ahead of him in the pecking order ....and drop points in the process. They deserve mangers who would call up Igobun and Onobi and leave out Mikel and Ighalo, as our African guardiola once did. obvious choices abi? They deserve foreign managers only interested in managing their team in the world cup for 3 games and after losing out don't even bother returning with the team. Thank God for Pinnick. With the man being more clever than the majority of fans I can continue to trust him to continue protecting you from yourselves.

fabyom: I wanted to drop this but not anymore. Musa scored a perfectly legal goal against Iran which was cancelled, how come you didn't mention that he was unlucky against Iran? We totally outplayed Bosnia. In fact in 90 full minutes Bosnia created only three chances of note, Ameobi after coming on and even Babatunde and Uzoenyi had decent chances in that game, we were the better team on the day and if Bosnia had scored trust me we would have still scored again, you all are making it sound as if it was a Chelsea vs Barcelona match, we played good football and deserved our luck totally. Against Argentina we lost, Argentina eventually got to the final. Bosnia were the first team to qualify for the WC in Europe then with the highest goalscorer during the qualifiers, yet we didn't just beat them, we outplayed them, forget results for now, I would recommend you watch that match again or maybe the highlights before talking again. Now in 2018, the worst possible Argentine side that were sent to the cleaners by Croatia and yet we couldn't get a point off them. Aren't you also forgetting that Iceland missed a penalty? Isn't that also lucky? Croatia only won three games in regular time at the world cup, they were not better than Bosnia of 2014 yet we never even bothered them for 90 full minutes. See I don't like discrediting people, Rohr's team defeated Iceland and lost against the remaining teams. Keshi defeated Bosnia, drew against Iran and played well against Argentina, in fact I remember vividly that Mikel missed an easy header that would have dragged us level in that game, is that not bad luck? But at least we lost fighting. Then did you watch the match against France? Brilliant football. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

tbaba1234: Aside from the through pass to Musa ,Kelechi contributed nothing whether offensively or defensively to the team It was so bad that South African defenders bypassed him and Iwobi had to leave the middle and press the defenders which left the midfield open It was when Success came in that we had a breath of fresh air, Check yourself maybe you have been influenced by 'Iheanacho is better than Mbappe crew' |

TheSupernerd, I keep asking u if we are in the New dawn yet and you have been shifting that dawn. And have been waiting and waiting to declare that "New Dawn". Guess what, some of us have been waiting and expecting that New dawn for the past 20years! (1998 to be precise). ![]() We are no longer that dominant force that we used to be. Yes, we have a very rich pedigree but we must also realize that it is no longer business as usual. Nigeria is no longer much better than teams like SA, Congo DR, Mali, Guinea, and the likes. And we arguably can only rub shoulders with likes of CIV, Senegal, Morocco, Egypt. For those that expected us to have over run SA in Jo' burg you need to have a rethink. The current squad is not even as gifted as the squad we had from 2002 to 2010 era, which to me was our last generation of SUPER Eagles. Just compare position by position including the 3 choice goalies and u will realize. What we have now are a group of mostly young talented players who we hope will with time start delivering the goods. I do not belong to the group that excessively hype players neither do I belong to the group that Pull down players. The earlier we realize that we are not that dominant force we used to be in the 1990s and 2000s the better for us. Yes, we are on a building or rebuilding process, just like have been since 1998, and so we need to be patient with the team. And on Rohr, we all know he is not much gifted tactically. Such is for so many coaches. The NFF had to employ Bonfere Jo as a personal tactician to Westerhoff. So many here call Rohr ''White Onigbinde'' but I see him more as ''white Amodu''. The simple philosophy that guides such a coach is ''if you cannot win do not lose''. Just like Amodu, Rohr took over the coaching position and unlike most other coaches, he started with the already existing squad and started getting results while the gradual injection of New blood with time. Some call it conservatism but I call it building with stability . Some here even once called Rohr a white version of Icon4s ![]() ![]() ![]() To be candid this is one of Rohr's thinnest squads he has ever paraded. We were so unlucky with the wrong calls by the officials especially that 2nd goal which could have been the decider. What I will say is lets be patient with Rohr, he looks like someone still on the learning curve. He has managed to give us the AFCON ticket with a game to spare even after losing our first game. Those that have criticized him have every Right to do so just like those who have hailed him. We know Rohr is not an excellent tactician but he has continued to deliver which is the ultimate yardstick to judge a coach. 4 Likes |

Cc Icon4s Rohr is not an excellent technician but a great man-manager Rohr has been able to hold the team together without news of player-player rift or player-manager rift Those that have been relegated from the team have gone to the background without grumbling and those who have in the bench have waiting patiently Lastly he has been happy to operate in a highly corrupt Nigerian environment and the players have been happy to play under him.

Icon4s: Boss, learning curve after three years? At the World Cup your excuse was 'he is still building', now we are getting even worse and you have reversed to 'he is getting results', so after building for the past 3 years all he can manage to do is to 'get results'? By 1993 Westerhof's team was playing brilliant football, I remember asking Sia1 something about that and he told me that by 92 everybody already knew what to do, when you come to camp the coach will just perfect what you had already learnt, if after three years(with a proper tournament in between which affords coaches enough time to train their players) we are still playing without any identity then we haven't built anything. You do know that if Rohr gets sacked that a new coach will have to start from the scratch, because no good coach will adopt this playing method, what then have we built? Klinsman left Germany and Leow came in and continued the same pattern, in that case you can say Klinsman built something, this coach that took Argentina to the final of the 2014 WC left, Martino came in and continued his philosophy and Argentina almost won a Copa, sadly these have been three wasted years, yes we have made it to the WC and the AFCON but what will be the benefit in the long run? 2 Likes 2 Shares |
