Karlovich:
Gernot Rohr should start playing with 2 mobile centre forwards, playing with a lone striker is not effective especially when you have clueless wingers

barackodam:
Is that the Akpoguma y'all hailing would walk into the team?

Guy played poorly in 20 mins than Ekong did in 90

IDENNAA:


Those Algerians will not give you room to operate...they are ffucking aggressive and tough to play. We need to play them very physical...dem nobi Oyibo...blacks in oyibo skin. Cant you see Ajayi was getting frustrated, so was Balogun but Akpoguma na tough guy and he remained discipline , checking their speedy runs and intrusions. You need a 100% disciplined Nigerian side to put these Amazigh in their place. If you play cool with them they will bloody you up while screaming pains!

Samueltemi337:
Exactly


Osimhen and any of Dessers and Iheanacho

Karlovich:
We couldn't even threaten their goalkeeper with a decent attempt, Rohr needs serious work with these players

Points to note:

1. The team last played 11 months ago
2. Had training for 3 days before match
3. Several new players
4. Match was a test game with less emphasis on result (highlighted by the coach)
5. Our key players were missing

These points led to:

6. Low team cohesion, communication, and spirit
7. Exposed unwanted players
8. Identified our weak areas ( midfield and set pieces issue which hasn't been solved yet)


Well, the points above are no excuses for the shambolic display. However, we should note that today's match was fairly okay considering these factors. By the way, both teams were not impressive either.

Lastly, the technical crew still has a lot of work to do to bring the team back to order. So I agree with your point about Rohr.

PS: Tunisia beat Sudan 3-0 today.

ChrisKels:
Ebuehi was poor today

benji93:
No he wasn't phenomenal. DOn't tell me you got carried away by that swerve. . He was decent. He was miscuing passes. I'll leave it at that.

kentebemoney:

Relax a4-4-2 in this game would have been a disaster.

Samueltemi337:
I still prefer ola Aina to sanusi

JohnBullMySon:
I don't recall any direct shot on target though.

Edopesin:


Lmao I've since dropped the issue, someone was even accusing me of hating on him

Iwobi was anything but phenomenal today, saying he was decent would be me being nice. He certainly didn't play his role today, zero creativity going forward

Karlovich:
this is all grammar, our wing play was extremely poor

MetalJigsaw:
Rohr is just an average coach at best. He lacks a lot of qualities and it was so glaring today. He only knows how to recruit players but doesn't know how to use them.
I honestly expected him to have improved .


Onuachu is a scam. He only came to embarrassed himself more. Very slow and he can't press. Who says he can hold up play . Always afraid to do so.


Chukwuweze is not only an average player but he lacks common intelligence. He's soo predictable. Always trying to dribble even though he's facing thousands of opponents Why not be unpredictable for once. Anytime he's with the ball his marker knows what's he's going to do. Such an annoying one-way player.


Semi Ajayi is not a midfielder. He put every foot wrong. He was crap!

Onyeka is nothing. A disappointment. He was no where to be found.


Ekong doesn't deserve to be assistant captain. I've never seen such a flop wearing a captain band in my life. I'm sure he felt the embarrassment.

Ebuehi is good.

Balogun still has it.


Agu is below average.

Akpo hmmmm seems like a ridiculously overrated player. But I won't conclude yet. Need to see him again.

Onuachu staying too long on the pitch gave us no hope of equalizing.

Iwobi is a baller.

Karlovich:
I don't agree with you, our lone strikers were isolated throughout the game, and our wingers that were meant to support the attack were useless, having two strikers would have helped if one of them can drop into the midfield to assist with pushing attack

eazyjakes:

Then they should play closer together....use the triangles or diamonds and outnumber their opponents....Barcelona in the iniesta and Xavi era rarely cross the ball....they just outnumber their opponent in every phase of the game and strike with ruthless precison....Rohr should develop an identity for this team by playing to this team strengths!

smartsmith0907:
This match is Nigeria's worst of the decade
But there are some positives

*okoye
*sanusi
*iwobi
*ebuehi
The rest are trash most especially that palm tree ( Paul)

Ah, Balogun was trash in that game? Na the same game we watch so?

AIG07:
Leon Balogun is a solid defender(one important player late Keshi gave us) . A deep in form has made many to underrate him.

He may not have quick feet but his defensive ability is ahead of Ekong, Awaziem, Omuero and Ajayi.

I know many will disagree with this. But that is what it is. He has kept clean sheets in all the minutes he has played in for Celtics this season-that is no small feat.

I won't be surprised if he starts tonight.
