I won't use the team they played for during WC cox there was preparation for the WC and 90% of the player that went to WC played in WCQ
Iwobi - arsenal prodigy ( still a bench warmer )
2 ndidi - Genk
Moses Chelsea bench warmer started playing when conte came
3.simmy he started the season as a bench warmer but was discovered by rohr after his glorious overhead kick
4. Ebuehi ado een hag
5. Awaziem
Nacho man city prodigy
And you've forgotten the likes of onazi,abdullahi Simon moses ,omerou,agu ,ogu, ighalo,Mikel ,aina,echijile,uzoho,apkeyi were they also playing in Top 5 league in europe most of them are carpenters plying their trades in Israel and Turkish league and the likes of ighalo and Mikel are retired players collecting their pensions in China


You can erase the wc qualifiers and even the world cup if you wish but how would you defend the 2019 nations cup which we went to with an intimidating squad yet Rohr failed woefully , but Keshi used bunch of homebased players and mediocre European league players to lift the trophy.

By the way, Mikel is not a carpenter...Thats a Nigerian legend!

Rohr failed woefully are Nigerians suffering from amnesia !!!! Rohr qualified for the AFCON with a game to spare ( also in WC tell me a local coach that have achieved such feat ) the same rohr that failed woefully defeated the Cameron the defending champion ,defeated south Africa and still came back with bronze yet he failed woefully .....what can be done to sastified an average nigerian the same tournament that we didn't participated in for the past 4 years and this happened when your failure local coach were in charged.

Not that laliga is about goal scorers

Messi has taken 9 of the laliga best player award in the past 11 years ,you can’t blame Messi for not allowing any defender to win it

Watch how Sergio Ramos will be taking the laliga player of the year then you will change your statement

Should I remind you that Luis Suarez won this award without winning the epl ,but one of the best striker to ever grace the epl if not the best Aguero have never won that award and you are here giving me silly excuse that they ain’t bias

The same goal that made Luis Suarez won they award why can’t they same goal make Aguero to take it ?

No be goal your same Mohammed salah take win am ? But you don change talk when the fact it’s clear to you that they are always bias against city players
The player of the season is given to the best player in a season not cumulatively after a number of seasons. Tell me the season where Aguero was the best player and performed better and above the other players?

Harry Kane has even won the top goal scorer award more than him if it's about goals

Success is not a day journey it takes of practice that later becomes perfections you think Brazil,France achieved their feat in a day ?? No !!! You have to lose to win sometimes thats irony of football we are not yet ripe to win AFCON glory coz the likes ivory coast , Senegal, algeria , Cameron don't deserve a medal too come on , they have better players like we do too .

Rohr is building a good squad that would last for long, no doubt.. but his tactics leave a lot to be desired..

Do you just say Good squad
Abegiii average squad .
Have listened to many rohr interviews and have studied all of his matches ...rohr is not a poor tactician coz mourihno and simeone plays conservative play does that make them a bad tactician
Rohr plays a conservative counter attack pattern and for this systems to really work you needs a very solid defense that can absorb attack and needs a good linking midfielder that would link up well with your attacker .

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by 2lola: 4:41pm On Jul 27, 2020
This week, two former Nigerian internationals were in the news for different reasons. 1980 Africa Cup of Nations winner, Segun Odegbami, continued his criticism of Super Eagles manager, Gernot Rohr.

The Shooting Stars legend is an outspoken critic of Rohr, and last week he claimed the German should not lead Nigeria to the 2022 World Cup.

According to Odegbami, Rohr is not world-class, and should not lead Nigeria to the 2022 World Cup. Recall Rohr just signed a new contract that keeps him in charge of the Super Eagles until December 2022.

However, Odegbami believes a Nigerian should be given the honour of leading the country to the biggest sporting competition in the World.

“A Nigerian should take Nigeria to the World Cup because a foreigner does not understand our football philosophy and psychology,” Odegbami said.

“My belief is that anyone who will coach the Super Eagles must be a world-class coach. Rohr can’t deliver that.

“He’s not a world-class coach that we are looking for without question,” he added.

Odegbami’s comments made headlines, but he was not the only former Nigerian star that was in the news. In far away Albania, Ndubuisi Egbo became the first African manager to win a league title with a European Club.

Egbo led his FK Tirana side to the Albanian league title last Sunday, thereby making history. The former Julius Berger goalkeeper is also set to become the first African manager to manage a side in the UEFA Champions League.

The 46-year-old was Super Eagles back up goalkeeper in the team that finished second at the 2000 Africa Cup of Nations.

Both Odegbami and Egbo made the news last week but for different reasons. While the former 3SC star was busy criticising Rohr, Egbo was setting records in Europe, and he’s an example ex-internationals should follow.

Odegbami is an elder statesman in Nigerian football, and he has the right to air his views on football in the country, especially the Super Eagles.

However, the constant criticism of Rohr is now looking like a personal agenda. His latest criticism has an undertone of racism and would’ve sparked massive outrage if the roles were reversed.

It should be noted that he’s not the ex-international that believes the former Bordeaux manager is not the right man for the Super Eagles.

This view comes from a place of entitlement. Some of these former stars believe just because they represented the country means they’ve earned the right to manage the national team.

It is why former star, Benedict Akwuegbu says he regrets playing for Nigeria instead of Austria. The former Golden Eaglets star claimed the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has failed to appreciate the efforts of former stars by not giving them more opportunities to manage the national teams.

This is an entitled feeling which should not be encouraged at all. Rather than criticise the NFF, they could learn from

The former El-Masry could’ve also decided to wait on the NFF after retiring in 2011. Instead, he went for his coaching course and got his UEFA A coaching License- the highest qualification for a manager.

Despite earning his UEFA A license- Egbo had to wait for six years before he was appointed as Tirana’s head coach.

However, for some former players, they are not ready to go through the process Egbo followed, and that’s why they clamour for national team jobs.

Speaking after his record-breaking feat, Egbo revealed it took a lot of sacrifices and dedication to overcome the challenges he faced.

“It is not that they won’t have problems or issues, but they need to believe in themselves because that’s very important. The more they try to stop you, you have to give more confidence to yourself to do more,” he said.

“That’s exactly what happened to me, it was not an easy task for me, being a foreigner and also being a black coach. Though I had wonderful support from the fans, but as they said in every 12, there is always a Judah.

“There are people who don’t want you to achieve anything or succeed, but those are the people that help you more if you take the positives out of their criticism you don’t need to allow it to bring you down, fight more to prove that you can do it. If I can do it, then any African coach can do it.”

Although not every former player can follow the same path, there are lessons in his story. For someone with a UEFA A license- he may have felt too big for the lowly rated Albanian league, and wait on a bigger job.

However, he never felt entitled, but decided to start with what is available, and he’s been celebrated for it. It’s a lesson for Egbo’s former colleagues as the constant criticism of Rohr, and the NFF has not resulted in one of them getting the job.

Egbo is not the only former Nigerian star doing well, or that has done well for himself. The likes of Amuneke and Oliseh- although without a job currently- were brilliant at their previous managerial roles.

Not every former player will get the chance to manage the Super Eagles, and these players need to start looking for opportunities outside the national teams.

Rohr is the second foreign manager Nigeria has employed in the last ten years, which even makes accusations like that of Akwuegbu laughable.

Egbo’s success has shown former players they don’t have to wait for an appointment from the NFF. Hopefully, they can learn and stop feeling entitled.

With Adarabioyo, Ekong, Aina and Awaziem we have a decent defence but we have to work on defending set pieces and taking care of crosses into our box cause we're terrible in this aspect. At the bolded, we are not Spain or Portugal na, shey you get Fernandes or Kovavic kind of players where you dey hide for somewhere.

Ndidi is improving with his ball distribution and creative Midfielders like Aribo, Eze and Iwobi is enough to get the job done, We are no more an average when it's Afcon we're talking about

You nit pick on things that arent relevant. Being an attacking players doesnt not mean you must score goals.
List of SE players that has ability to turn any defence inside out.

Onyekuru.....misused by Rohr
Chukwueze
S.Kalu
Ejuke
Osimbaba

Rohr doesn't rate Turkey (So they said), so I can only fault Rohr here but chukwueze is being played where he should be playing, Ejuke has not been tested, Osimhen has been tremendous, Samuel Kalu also does relatively well when he plays in LW, Nacho is inconsistent and Iwobi performs well under Rohr

So asides the others, Rohr is playing them well

I don't believe so, man. Mourinho took over Spurs at 12th place to 6th.

Since taking over, only LFC, MCFC and MUFC have won more points, scored more goals and conceded less(except wolves).

Brendan over achieved but the team's capitulation was down to his poor management.

Rodgers achieved more points than Mourinho with a less quality but you guys want Mourinho praised achieving less with a more quality team and Rodgers crucified.

At a point no one would care what point they were before, you take us within touching distance to the moon and you send us crashing all the way down.

Leicester City before their famous EPL triumph were only expected to be a good enough side to remain EPL regulars, bit they did the unbelievable, they won the league, the following season, they struggled and they were where they most probably should, but, the management were having none of it, Ranieri was fired, they've had a taste of honey, they don't want anything else.

They can taste honey and sell, Mahrez, Kante, Maguire and still want honey. grin

Simple, Rodgers over achieved with a mediocre squad. They also suffered key injuries like Ndidi for a brief while and probably their best player, Ricardo Pereira. It is not easy to want to buy a range rover with N10,000. cheesy

He didn't over achieve.. Leicester have the best squad outside of the big 6 clubs... And given the fact that Man Utd, Chelsea,Spurs and Arsenal were in very poor forms at the start of the season, Leicester had the opportunity to take over the top,and they did so for a while..

It isn't today that Rodgers started bottling things... He is the kind of coach that doesn't seem to learn.. in my opinion,geniuses don't make the same mistakes over and over again..

He has the best squad outside the big six and he did not over achieve beating some of them and missing out towards the end? Haba.
