There is enough data to build Rohr's profile and it is a truth that stares us all in the face. The bitter truth is Gernot Rohr is a limited coach. His team's performance at the World Cup and AFCON and at the many uninspiring friendlies mirror each other. Rohr believes in playing a certain set of pla...

Like or loathe him, but at least Johannes Bonfrere knows our DNA. Gernot Rohr should go to a country that has low expectations and they are many in Africa. We are Nigeria and the Super Eagles have to be the best. If another coach had taken that squad (man for man) to Egypt, we will be African Champi...

If you consider Morocco's football tradition, Gernot Rohr will suit them down to a T. Morocco's football culture is also conservative and uinventive depending rather on individual players. Even in the glory days of Mohammed Timoumi, Aziz Bouderbala, Zaki and then the days of Mustapha Hadji, Morocco ...

I am sure most seasoned analysts will agree that with the quality of that squad, we should have won AFCON 2019. If it took Algeria a last minute winner to beat us, that tells you how close we were. The main problem was in formation and tactics. That squad had enough talent to win. They simply were t...

JMO has been special for Nigeria. He showed up in the Golden Eaglets squad that did not do well in Helsinki, Finland in 2003 but he shone like a bright light with his ball control skills and confidence. 2 years later, he confirmed his talent in U20 WC 2005 in Holland where he came 2nd to Lionel Mess...

On the AM issue, we are back to the pre 1993 days before JJ Okocha showed up with that free-kick against Algeria in Lagos. There is a vacancy for our AM in the SE that cannot be filled right now until the right candidate (a new face) shows up.

This is a tough one and the names already mentioned deserve super credit. Muda Lawal was a central midfielder who defended but that was not his best quality. Muda covered every blade of the grass, a good dribbler who scored goals but he was best at placing serious passes; long, short, crossfield lob...

Anyones that think this set of Eagles are not good enough to be playing the finals of this competition should be lined up at Lagos bar beach and given the Dimka treatment. We were robbed by a wannabe coach conniving with our NFF to perpetuate his backward ideas in Nigerian football. Hanging onto th...

If Gernot Rohr coached in the EPL, the regular chant from the fans will be:

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!

The team clearly lacks a playmaker. Someone that demands the ball and distributes it to punish the opposition, a JMO, an Austin Okocha. Since his U17 exploits, Nwakali has failed to improve. It is stupefying bordering on the realm of fantasy for anyone to expect that a player who has not made a sing...

Personally nigerians are delusional and they don't have World class players but expect WORLDCLASS results. Personally, if I was rohr I will resign. The highest he can achieve is another WCQ and an ANC because with the QUALITY of opponents at the world stage I don't see nigeria even qualifying past ...

The super eagles under gernot rohr qualified for the 2018 world cup ahead of their last qualifying match against Algeria. This is a remarkable achievement compared to past qualification. After failing to qualify for the 2015 and 2017 AFCON, the super eagles under rohr qualified for the 2019 AFCON. ...

Damunk, You have always stated that nostalgia gives some of us a wrong perception of players in the past thereby elevating and idolising them over current players. I hope you will agree that the SE of recent times are not on the same level with the heroes of the past. In my opinion, nowhere. I am ac...

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D_d1foUX4AAK8Ub.jpg The keeper is actually behind the wall! He should be further to his right. Look how inviting that section of open goal is to a player of Mahrez's talent! Our wall had four six footers it it! Let him try and and get it up and over from that distance if...

Ekong was quite shaky. I watched the last 39 mins and noticed on several occasions he just cleared the ball anyhow , most times very erratically, instead of pass out of the back. He’s been solid this tourney so I am not sure what happened today. Yujam, I thought Ekong just got tired. When the ball ...

(1) Our main problem is that there simply was not enough talent in this squad (2) We have a goalkeeping crisis (3) Awaziem does not offer enough of an attacking threat going forward and has his defensive frailties too (4) Collins is no Babayaro or Udeze (5) Ekong’s distribution is woeful (6) Omeruo...

Daniel Akpeyi: Throughout the tournament he seemed ok but that was because he had managed to avoid the thick of the action. You always knew that a solid chance against him will end in the net. For the free kick, Mahrez shot at the side he was defending but the ball flew into the net. Akpeyi is reall...

After all has been said and done, Gernot Rohr is a defensive coach. His era will be marked as the time when the Super Eagles of Nigeria played counter attacking football whether home or away. If you study all our matches pre the World Cup, the World Cup, pre this CAN and in this CAN, the Super Eagle...

Algeria get quite rough whenever they play us. It is because they have always had difficulty with our pace, skill, physicality and athleticism. Algerian players are not as strong as our SE. Too many examples in the past prove this. For this match, Gernot Rohr's 4-2-3-1 formation is the best because ...

BTW What has Ghana done even to justify "minnow" status? I beg what is the next scale below "minnow"?

The fluidity is not there because of the 4-2-3-1 where you have deep lying central midfielders and the fact that the forward line does not combine particularly well. :agree: Gernot Rohr is basically getting us to play like his native land, Germany, but the problem is our fans like us to play like B...

To think this boy's performance was not at the level of Victor Osimhen and Kelechi Nwakali in the powerful dominant...

Just looking at the machine that Pep Guardiola turned Bernardo Silva into, you just pray that a good coach can get his hands on Samuel Chukwueze. For me, this boy can become one of the greatest players in the world.
