AIG07:
First of all, Congratulations to Algeria.
It's a well deserved victory. Not they did it in style and inflicted pain on 180 million people.
They edge us out not because they have better players but A BETTER COACH.

I can't believe we still have folks who still want Rohr to stay. Rohr staying is more or else being satisfied with Mediocrity.

Are you not tired with all this Make shift approach. Deploying personel to wrong positions. I knew it was going to backfire. Awaziem has been solid all through but against weaker sides.

I have always said this. Balogun remains our best defender. Rohr axed him without a replacement. He sets up his defense without a ball playing CB.

He and Alloy Chose a comic goalkeeper in Akpeyi (don't even know what to say about this guy). Akpeyi will always be Akpeyi... He went and hide himself behind the wall and couldn't jump/fly.

Rohr had 3years to assemble a team, yet he gave us this shit. I don't know why many celebrate him?
He experimented for 3years with no result. I think we deserve More.

As I have always said, we will never see the true potential of this team under Gernot Rohr.

Well done guys. We live to fight another day.

Danielnino00:


Listen here Emeka ..U have every right to quote me but u ought to use ur brain...
If u must quote me do so like a mature person.. This is d second time u will b attacking me for nothing..
Are u mad?

Danielnino00:


People like Emeka from some godforsaken slum thinks Rohr is the best thing to happen to our football since Okocha..

How many super eagles coaches have actually enjoyed the financial support and patience Rohr has enjoined in the super eagles?
Shuaibu Amodu qualified us for the world cup and also reached the AFCON semi final but we saw how he was treated. Keshi won us the AFCON and reached the world cup round of 16 with a far less talented squad and amidst several fight with his employees but he was sacked...
Who is Rohr compared to them??
Some folks here like Mr Emeka obviously like licking the an*s of everything white...

charlesemeka85:
You need help, urgent one at that

Was Awaziem weak today?

I have always said this. Balogun remains our best defender. Rohr axed him without a replacement. He sets up his defense without a ball playing CB.

More stupefying to [sensible] Nigerians it would have been if Balogun snuck into the starting line up today

Now the team is shit cuz they lost out to a better team?

As I have always said, we will never see the true potential of this team under Gernot Rohr.

Ignore the small boy, I can bet his real name is not emeka, and you calling him Mr means u r giving him respect he is not entitled to.

Things we can take away from this AFCON:

1 The Algerians were/are the better team. We underrated them here and i am envious at how much they have improved from 2016 till now. We stand to gain if we learn from them.

2 The Goal keeping department needs serious overhaul. I don't blame the GKs..really I don't. They won't feature if they don't keep getting call-ups. We need to scout for 3 quality keepers because none of our current 3 inspire confidence

3 Rohr tried his best. Our team has not made it to the AFCON in 6 years. We got so far by a mix of ingenuity, grit and luck. Rohr needs a really good tactical assistant (or technical assistant).

4 Our two central midfielders should be applauded for giving a good fight in this match and in the entire tourney. You can't give what you don't have. Neither Ndidi nor Etebo are creative midfielders/playmakers. So, it shouldn't come as a surprise that we couldn't create enough chances. Tackling is important but doesn't score goals. Excellent passing and ingenuity does.

5 We need to scout for more consistent strikers. Ighalo is so inconsistent, it can be annoying. Same goes a good creative central midfielder(s).
One wonders the idea behind taking four midfielders to a major tourney without any marshal among them.

6 Mikel should honorably bow out. Knowing Rohr, Mikel would keep getting call-ups if he doesn't retire. Rohr is very conservative and prefers to stick to known players. This can backfire.

7 Osimhen and Onyekuru need to step up. If Rohr kept on benching them for almost the entire duration of the tournament, there must be good reason. Mbappe is in their age grade and has done wonders that belie his age. They should aim for such. Had they been reliable, I am sure Rohr would have no qualms subbing out a Misfiring Ighalo.

8 Ogu should also just retire. If he hardly features in the entire tourney even when we were quite shorthanded, I wonder at his importance to this team. I also wonder at what unique footballing attribute he possesses that keeps earning him invites.

9 Chukwueze is one thing we can take away from this tourney. He is still very young and can improve if he keeps his head down and doesn't let praises get to his head (like nacho, success). If any new club cannot guarantee him first team soccer, he should remain at Villareal and improve.

10 A moniker commented at the inconsistency of our players. This much is true though I would single out Ndidi and Etebo as our only consistent players throughout this AFCON. Our players may need counselling. Consistency is what sets apart ancestors from men from boys in football If you can't be consistent, then you may stagnate your career. You get paid big bucks for showing up at every game, no matter how many games you have to play. They need to groom themselves to be consistent.

11 Our defence isn't as solid as we are made to believe. We conceded in every match right from the second round. I thought Rohr was a good defensive coach? Two or more good defensive additions won't be bad. Balogun should find a new club and bench warmers shouldn't be tolerated.

All in All, we gave our best and fought hard but at the end of the day, the best team won. Up Super Eagles. We live to fight another day

isan:
enyeama go stop that freekick

Odunayaw:
No one has hailed Pape Gassama. He impressed me today

BascoVanVeli:


Forget that one. For most his career he has been a midfielder. If that's the case Iwobi should be on the wings since he has played like 30 consecutive matches for his club on the wings.

Icon79:
Enyeama shouldn't have stopped nada. That penalty was very well struck and taken just from the edge of the 18 yard box. I doubt if any goalkeeper in the world would've said that free kick. In fact, I am not Akpeyi's fan but I don't blame him for any of those two goals.


O pari

Jarus:


I will support Algeria

They are the best team in this AFCON.

The best team should win.

His calls favoured us

AIG07:
*smiles* I knew we had a problem when folks started celebrating AFCON QUALIFICATION as if we are some sort of Burundi, Madagascar, or Somalia. Our absence in the last two editions has really damaged people's psyche.

Rohr is Average @ best... No doubt about that. His team reflects everything about him. Rigid, timid,...we've seen the best of him and that was in 2017 during world cup qualifiers. After then, he has shown us a limp Eagle, uncoordinated side, tactless team.,etc.

Still someone somewhere wants him to stay. The team hasn't improved one bit since 2017.

Odunayaw:


You may have a point but this emotion ridden post makes it look really juvenile

Danielnino00:
I'm gonna take the defeat in good faith...Algeria were obviously the better team from the blast of the whistle.. they had studied us very well and devised a plan to stop us and it worked..Kudos to them..
Our players gave tried but such things happen in football.. you can't win every time .


But I think after the AFCON, the following players need to join Mikel in retirement...
- Ighalo

- Ogu

- Akpeyi..

- Ezenwa

Musa and Balogun should take a back seat in the team too.. As for Ekong he needs serious competition.. Even Omeruo..

If we are serious about building a better team for the future, then we need to let go of some old players .the Dutch did it and now their football is back on track... we can do it too..
The believe some people on this thread have that we don't have good players is a lie!! We have a lot of good players out there...talented players who are doing well at their clubs..both home and foreign born... they just need to be integrated into the team slowly.. We have limited time to start preparing for 2021 AFCONQ and Qatar 2022


As for Rohr, I can't totally support the calls to sack him now cus I tells can't think of any capable replacement available... the man has tried for put football no doubt but his conservative style is holding this team back...Poor tactical decisions and his inability to make daring changes into the team...
If a capable replacement is available he should please go.. Nobody knew his when he was coaching Niger republic back then... the national team has boosted his CV

MetalJigsaw:
Rohr should have switched to 2- 2- 6 formation and move ighalo to the goalpost and move akpeyi forward to confuse the Algerian defenders. nonsense
