for the fact that ROHR is working with the NFF is not a small man ... he owns so many big hotels in France,and some african countries ...he has built a successful business for himself, and he is comfortable ... that is why he doesn't run after NFF for money ... for hi to have attained this level , there will be some level of maturity and intelligence in his dealings .... he deserves some accolades grin just that he is too conservative ... and made the eagles to lose the glamour that comes with our style of play ..now we play like the Chelsea under Mourinho ...Purely negative football ...sad part .. grin

The fact that Rohr doesn't really depend on NFF for salary is one of the main reasons they are reluctant to fire him. NFF are chronic onigbese people. However, I feel Rohr is one of the best coaches we have had in a long time and we are lucky to have him

Search for New Super Eagles' Goalkeepers Begin

editor July 25, 2019 12:21 Am

As Nigeria’s Super Eagles begin qualification battles for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations ticket with a Group L home opening clash with Squirrels of Benin Republic on November 11, handlers of the three-time continental champions may have also spread their tentacles for new goalkeepers.

Poor goalkeeping largely contributed to the inability of the Super Eagles to reach the final of the just ended Egypt 2019 with Daniel Akpeyi gifting Algeria the precious passage to clash with the Teranga Lions of Senegal and eventually lifting their second AFCON title.
Akpeyi’s poor arrangement of his defence wall created opportunity for Riyad Mahrez to score the lone goal from that last free kick of the semi final clash with Nigeria.

But Super Eagles Goalkeeper Trainer, Alloy Agu, confirm in a Brila FM chat in Lagos yesterday morning that search for better safe hands to compliment those in camp have started to solidify the team ahead of the qualifiers of the tournament to be hosted by Cameroon in two years time.

Nigeria is drawn in Group L of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers alongside Sierra Leone, Lesotho and Benin Republic.

“This is the situation – Now, we are working. I can tell you categorically that, I have embarked with the scouting team to look within and outside Nigeria to make sure that, that position is solidified before the qualifiers (for AFCON 2021) begins,” stressed the former Nigerian goalkeeper.

Alloy Agu who for years was Nigeria’s Number one goalkeeper admitted that there was actually problem in that crucial department before the team left for the tournament in Egypt.

“The problem before the 2019 AFCON was that Francis (Uzoho) was not playing at club level and Ikechukwu Ezenwa had injuries issues. Therefore, if you are not playing you can’t be in the same shoes with someone playing week in and week out.

“When we got to Asaba for the opening of Eagles camp, Ezenwa was on top of his game but he sustained an injury which a lot of people did not know. And at that point in time, (Daniel) Akpeyi was on top of his game with his club in South Africa and he was doing well when we played against Egypt in a friendly before the Nation’s Cup in Asaba.

”So, that was the reason we featured Akpeyi to play our opening game against Burundi and then Guinea. He kept all clean sheets. Check all the goalkeepers that participated in the just-concluded Nations Cup, Akpeyi did not commit blunders like others did.

“But we opted to give Francis (Uzoho) the chance to be in goal during the third-place match. Francis was ready and we played him.”

Against the backdrop of criticism of the quality of goalkeepers in the senior national team at the moment, Alloy Agu said: “Let me explain to you, a lot of things have been said about that department and that department has not lived up to expectations. Let me take you back to the time of Vincent Eyeama, with the senior national team.

“Enyeama was the fourth goalkeeper of team when I took up the job of the Super Eagles goalkeeper trainer.

“I brought Enyeama to be the first choice of Super Eagles. He has a record since his debut at the World Cup that no other goalkeeper has been able to break up till date, ” stressed the former goalkeeper.

Alloy Agu praised Carl Ikeme who took over from Enyeama to solidify Nigeria’s goalkeeping area until leukaemia ended his football career.

“Ikeme did so well for Nigeria and the goalkeeping position was solidified until he fell ill and I had to bring in the same (Daniel) Akpeyi. Akpeyi was in goal when Nigeria consolidated in the qualifiers for Egypt 2019 against Algeria in Uyo. The same Akpeyi rescued us we beat Algeria that was number one then in Africa,” recalled Agu.

I didn't know Rohr from today

Rohr may get exposed soon and his contract may not be renewed.

Open your eyes very well. Rohr's system needs either a very good target man to flourish or atleast one player with individual brilliance. This is because everyone plays close to the defence except the target man.

Ighalo was a good target man. He literally carried us through the AFCON qualifiers scoring the bulk of the goals. Ighalo also won us the bronze. He scored 5 out of the total of 8 goals scored in the tournament.

Likewise, It was the individual brilliance of Victor Moses that carried us through the world cup qualifiers.

Now that Ighalo and VM are gone and there are no solid replacements, that's a serious detriment to the team.

Except the likes of Iheanacho, Osimhen, Nwakaeme etc come through as the target man or the likes of Iwobi and Chukwueze come through as the brilliant player with the ability to carry the team (which does not look likely in the immediate), Rohr's team will definitely struggle for goals and the cry for his sack will soon be deafening.

If Victor Moses had not won those two penalty kicks versus Ethiopia, we would not have even qualified for quarter finals. Moses earned the praise.

So who gave Mba the assist to score in the final?
Look at it this way. Everyone in a team contributes, but not everyone wins the man of the match award. You measure a player's contribution by the value they offer. Messi for example makes the difference in a lot of games for Barcelona.

Victor Moses at the Afcon was immense. We scored a total of 11 goals in that tournament and VM was involved in almost all the goals. He had 2 goals and 4 assists. Infact his assist got Mba the goal in the final.

So back to the bone of contention, when we praise a player like that, it is not an attempt to belittle the contribution of others in the team. Rather it is a venture to reward the effort of a player who has been more outstanding than the rest.

Based on stats (ceteris paribus), without VM we would not have won that afcon. It is as simple as that.

Turkey and Portuguese league are bigger than Greece league, and apart from European competition he will be playing against the sh1t teams that make up Greece league

It's like saying a person in Psg will get more competition than a person in Everton

Your performance in UEFA competition is the reflection of how good your league is.

Based on this, Panathinaikos has done better than Galatasaray and all the clubs in Turkish clubs in UEFA tournaments.
