The world cup qualifying group of death was not the first time we found ourselves in such group. Keshi had achieved more with way less talented group of players than Rohr. Rohr has not won anything yet. And ,yes he is tactically deficient. Rohr has been Super Eagles for over 3yrs yet we unable to play three good passes....its not impatient...its FED UP! There is no reason why we should not be playing beautiful football!

And, no! The problem with Nigeria is not impatience it's people like you who are dormant and comfortable with anything you are given. Rohr has not done anything spectacular....just few flashes here and there.




Yes, I support your assertions.

Yes, he may get the Job done qualifying us for tournaments but we ought to see signs of improvement

I dare say that we were lucky in our last game. But it will be foolhardy to keep on courting on mother luck. She is not a faithful woman and may leave our side in the next game. The reason why SA is very confident against us is because we didn't play to our full potential in the recent meetings between us.

We need to improve on our game and start instilling fear in our opponents.

Ighalo is a good striker and brilliant in taking his chances. I feel we have sharper options if we play possessively with purpose and intent.

I think in a more adventurous system where we require more of clever play, explosive forward movement and quick tempo finishing, we have other strikers who can offer more.

However, Ighalo fits in Rohr's system as a glove and with a bit more bravery of the team, he excels.

the same keshi you are talking about couldn't sustain the success he achieved that he couldn't qualify to defend the tittle he won? the same keshi who paraded home based carpenters at the expense of players plying their trade in top leagues in europe and as well performing very well week in week out? the same keshi that left the team in a mess which turned us to a laughing stock in africa?

don't allow your past achievements in life get to your head making you to believe that you are still the best in your chosen career when alot of competitors are working hard to surpass it. we are no more blessed stars compared to the era of jay jay and kanu so it is wrong for you to think that other african nations fear us because of our past glory. sexy football is achievable but when you have the right components and talents to exhibit it. whether you like it or not we lack world class players but are doing decently well with what we can boast of.

your keshi you mentioned denied so many deserving players a chance to fight a place in the national team and when he ran out of luck we became miserable football wise. players like odemwingie,aluko,lukman,taiwo,martins,imoh just to mention a few were denied chances in the team because of his junks and selfish interest.

I knew luck will run out of keshi and when it does it will be disastrous but alot were blinded because of the teams triumph in the afcon and making through the group stage of the world cup where we were grouped against teams like bosnia(who the ref helped us to win),iran that out played us and argentian who won us even when nothing was at stack.

also can you remind me of the teams we faced during the qualification of 2014 world cup and if they were as strong as the ones we faced during the 2018 world cup qualifiers?

WE DONT HAVE ANY STRIKER BETTER THAN IGHALO RIGHT NOW so the possibility that of offering more does not exist to me.

The new coach of Turkish giants, Istanbul Basaksehir, mandates his new club to recruit Awaziem either permanently or on loan, but they will have to battle it out with Awaziem's former loan side Nantes who are desperate to have him back on a permanent basis.


Recall that Awaziem and Okechukwu were the main heroes as Rizespor escaped relegation under the tutelage of this same coach this past season, and they have already signed Okechukwu on loan from pyramid as they prepare for next seasons UEFA champs league

The main problem we have is in midfield. A front 3 of Musa - Ighalo - Moses Simon/ Samuel Kalu isn't bad at all in terms of profiles. It's that midfield that is killing us.
Etebo and Ndidi have done well but I still think that pivot isn't balanced enough.

Awaziem has done well so far, but I think Aina may be an upgrade on him at the RB position. Remember that Aina is a natural RB playing as a LB.

All these guys that are just making light of the efforts of the super Eagles, saying that SA is this, SA is that, as if SA is a Brazil that we don't know about.

If Egypt had taken their chances, I'm sure you won't be saying all this about SA.

If SA is that fantastic, why were they struggling in the group stage and they had to wait till the last day to qualify. for the next stage.

Like what is wrong with you people gan gan. what do you guys want?

Before the Cameroon game , people were saying, it is our first real test, we beat them, now you are saying SA is our first real test. The same SA that could have been down by 2 or 3 goals against Egypt, no thanks to the wasteful Trezeguet.

It seems a lot of people want to see the team fail, just because of Onyekuru and Osimhen issue with the coach

oga it is evident that rohr's team displays better possession football and artistry than that of keshi. if keshi was as good as he made you guys believe why couldn't he sustain the team's success and build on from there just in the space of 1yr?

rohr's team is work in progress which is evident in the teams progression so far. all we lack is top players who can perfect it most especially in the midfield and attack. if keshi was still in charge i will bet my life that youngstars like oshimeh,chukwueze,kalu,aina,ebuehi,iwobi etc wouldn't have debuted for the team let alone making his afcon team with the excuse that they are still rookies and inexperienced in international football.

how em go give them chance when they are alot of bricklayers and carpenters in kano pillars,gombe united and co?

no mind them na

I just dey take corner eye to look at people saying keshi is better because he won Afcon.

Lemme give them another fact.

Do they even know that if Keshi was our coach,we won't even know the likes of Iwobi, Chukwueze, Aina , even their darling Osimhen and Onyekuru.

That is because keshi won't invite them, giving us different mumu excuse. Chukwueze that just played his first professional football won't even get into the provisional list sef, giving us reason that the guy does not have senior team football experience , or he's too young for African football, Chukwueze might have ended up with the U20.

he will only invite his goons from Kano pillar and co.
