Can u imagine the bag of stones they kept in the post called Nigeria keeper, to rigid and lacks self confidence causing all sort of blunders.

Arsenalholic:
I am surprised at many Nigerians sha... They seem to watch back of TV like we used to say as kids.

Compare our team to that of Algeria and you'd see a massive gap. The Algerians were more tactically astute and surprisingly fitter. The Cameroonian team and South African team were a lot poorer and that was why we had any chance against them.

I have been saying this:

Genot Rorh plays an obsolete brand of football.

In this modern age hardly do you see teams withdrawing into their own half of the pitch when the opposition defenders are bringing it forward. You have to PRESS the defenders and block every expected passing option. Pep Guardiola made this "modern tactics" popular. And many teams use it now.

Madagascar used it against us and we saw the result.

Today, the Algerians did the same thing.

Since the first day of the tournament I watched out football and was immediately unimpressed. Even against Burundi we were playing this kind of obsolete football.

They play like this waiting to counter without any meaningful passing triangles. Once the opposition score, they get out of their shell and start to press. Then once they get a goal, they sit back and start to invite pressure again.

We need a coach that is up to date with modern football... And more importantly can blend our team together as a unit.

I hope Senegal now go ahead and do West Africa proud come Friday

When I saw Nigerian coach looking as old as Buhari I knew what to expect

When Ighalo ask Dangote for the money he promised

nototribalist:
Thunder fire Ighalo, in this kind of match you need to be putting pressure by marking their defenders well just like they did to us, but Ighalo chooses to just stand without marking the ball. So why won't dey press us.


We've never had a good defense for decades now

Adakintroy2:
The couch did OK with the material he has to be fair.

No matter your tactics, you need good players to interprete it for you. The way a debruyn will interpreted a central midfield role, is not the same way bakayoko would.

The way a Messi will interpreted a wing position, is not the same way Musa would. The couch did well with the structure. But the players themselves were appalling.

In the end it came down to that one fact. Quality players. One strike from mahrez and we were done for.

If it was us getting it round the wall or hitting the target would be near impossible. Kudos to Algeria they did well.

Our midfield was overwhelmed,I was expecting him to switch to a 3-5-2 formation. He doesn't read games,we have far better managers than him,if not for the issue of bribery that our local coaches are known for .

you better change your brain box oga na just game joor

One guy just set fire on his new plasma tv because of the un common defeat by the Algerians

NoSidonLook:
Rohr should start packing his bags to go back to Germany
He should carry that mumu keeper, Akpeyi along

Imagine the mumu coach even sub Chukwueze... our most potent attacker

oluwaahmed:


Senegal cannot win AfCON, bros have u been following this tournament? Algerian team have scored 12 goals and conceded only 2. They are the most balanced in-form team of the tournament. They could have beaten us like 4-5 goals and that's how they play. They played Senegal to a standstill in the group game even though they won 1-0. The final is going to be very boring cos Senegalese will defend throughout.
See my prediction below

A summary of our major problems.
Ps: stop being myopic and diabolic about the jersey.

1) Coach is useless for subbing Nwankweze instead of musa the 100 meter runner).
2) Goalkeeper is useless for everything...he deserves football ban for life...even monkey post he doesnt deserve to keep
3) our defenders were escorting opponent strikers to our post not defending them.
We are not giant of Africa again now in anything....issorait
