I don’t feel as bad over our exit as maybe some here because I knew like of lots us that we had serious limitations upfront. Again the way the cards were dealt were not in our favour were 9ja place in the group England were handed we would have qualified. At the last World Cup the cards dealt meant we were placed in a relatively easy group and winning only one game drawing the other and losing to Argentina made us qualify with very poor team. Once the team faced quality opposition they were out. This time a round the card dealt place us in a very strong group and we were like a boxer going into a fight with the ability to punch. If Ighalo is leading the attack you are only deceiving yourself if you think 9ja could beat quality opposition.

Even with the attacking deficiency 9ja was still able to match Argentina. The missing pieces I think is a clinicial striker and a more mobile creative midfield. Nididi and Mikel are great @ sitting in front of the back four however the transition from midfield to attack often was too slow and unimaginative to breakdown stubborn defences.

Personally I was one that advocated for Oliseh and his reign turned out to be a nightmare. We never had a moment peace when he was incharge it was akin to Trump in office. While SS has no idea how to manage men and his teams tend to be unbalance with far too many attacking players with no attention paid toward defence. When 9ja lost in the finals at the Olympics to Argentina SS still hasn’t explained why he dropped Obasi from the starting line-up. Also the fascination with Isaac Success a big time wastepipe. We need to think hard before choosing another coach

Gernot Rohr MUST stay!
People calling for his removal have good reasons the same way those who want him to stay have good reasons. Rohr is not the only alternative. He did not make it to the second round so it is only natural that people will call for his head.

The dangerous, and fatal assumption you made is Gohr's willingness to accept feedback. Over a series of friendlies, and during the world cup, he stuck to one approach despite negative results. Look at his in-game management approach with the use of subs. Does it look like someone who understands, appreciates and digests critical feedback? Of what use is your so-called organizational acumen when cracks appears in your supposed area of expertise, yet you engage in wishful thinking instead of exercising your options.

The overlooked issue is the context, and understanding between him and Pinnick that brought him into the Nigerian team. Rohr was confident that even with 3 losses he would still be the coach! The excuses were already lined up!! Pinnick's only-foreign-coaches-will-do mantra has brought us to to this stage.

For those in support of this move, would you be kind enough to get and publicly publish the post-match technical report issued by the coach/NFF for this debacle. Get ready for the excuses.

We lack creative midfielders and quick defenders. Iheanacho is a good striker.

I think the best approach would be 2 place a Nigeria coach to work with Rohr and and also get them embedded with Real Madrid and Barcelona for a few months so that they can embrace the attacking football philosophy.

Rohr stays as Super Eagles coach: NFF

http://scorenigeria.com.ng/2018/06/29/r ... coach-nff/

Gernot Rohr will stay on as Super Eagles coach despite wide-spread criticisms following the country’s early ouster from the World Cup in Russia, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have said.

Rohr has been knocked for not managing the crucial group game against Argentina for the Eagles to exit the tournament in the first round.

However, NFF president Amaju Pinnick has maintained Rohr has a new two-year contract and it will be honoured.

“I am not one of those who is asking for the coach to go,” Pinnick said.

“He has a new two-year contract and we will respect it.

“He has a young team who he will build on with the likes of Henry Onyekuru, Victor Osimhim, Kelechi Nwakali, Usman Mohammed and Junior Lokosa all now set to join this team.”

Rohr qualified Nigeria to Russia 2018, but the team failed to go past the group stage of the championship.

In September, Nigeria will resume the qualifying tournament for next year’s AFCON in Cameroon after they lost their opening game 2-0 to South Africa in Uyo in June 2017.
As an EOP, this is just a business decision.

He has NOT EARNED the right to be retained. They would not have been this magnanimous with a local coach.

What the NFF should have done is to have a technical committee look at his games from the first one to the last one to see if there are improvements on the team before rushing to say he is staying. Also look at his reluctance to add personnel. Like I stated elsewhere, NFF should force him to work with them to help our players who need national team callups to improve their chances of getting work permit. This is assuming they are serious about preparing for 2022. As a matter of priority, they should have an ex international (not goalie) be a part of the coaching staff.

Although, I think that this narrative of using the World Cup to prepare for the next one is a faulty one. We tried this ish in 2002 and we didn't qualify for 2006. If the plan all along was to build for 2022 then we should have dropped players on the North of 26 and maybe treat the Eagles as an Olympic squad and have 3 overage players. I am a fan of a very unpopular policy that I think we should have in place, we should mandate that 4-6 local league players be invited to camp anytime the Eagles are playing. We have to keep encouraging our local league players...

Finally, what I would like to see is for Mr. Pinnick to be the President of Naijarian Football Federation and not just the President of the Super Eagles.

Nobody will EVER blame him for making early changes.

Even in his first game and until this last game against Argentina, he was SLOW with subs. That has ALWAYS been his thing.

That is the beauty of diversity of opinion. I am not loyal to any one coach (only to the SE) which is why I was in Russia in the middle of a house move and during my company's busy quarter end. Good on Pinnick for standing by his man but he cannot escape scrutiny for a poor performance.

The truth is I have never been in support of the continuous sacking of coaches. Rarely has it done us any good. Most times we are so trigger happy that we never give anyone time to bear good fruit. The only times I was glad to see SE coaches go were 1. Lagerback - because he was a flagrant mercenary, and 2. Oliseh - because of his temperament. Most others including Chukwu, Eguavoen and even Onigbinde I thought should have been allowed to carry on. For once I think we should try another way. Let us see a man left at the helm for more than two seconds - than at least we can say we tried.

You are basing everything you say on history.
At some point history becomes irrelevant to the present situation, so why not now?

I think we are generally agreed that Pinnick has slowly proven to be a breath of fresh air.
Then it is reasonable to consider the possibility that he would equally have taken this same approach if a local coach had shown the same qualities he admires in Rohr.

You can't keep predicting the future based on a bad past orchestrated by bad people.
At some point you have to "have confidence in the victory of good over evil'', or else you will die miserably. :idea:

In September, Nigeria will resume the qualifying tournament for next year’s AFCON in Cameroon after they lost their opening game 2-0 to South Africa in Uyo in June 2017.
As an EOP, this is just a business decision.

He has NOT EARNED the right to be retained. They would not have been this magnanimous with a local coach.

What the NFF should have done is to have a technical committee look at his games from the first one to the last one to see if there's improvement. Also look at his reluctance to add personnel. Like I stated elsewhere, NFF should force him to work with them to help our players who need national team callups to improve their chances of getting work permit. This is assuming they are serious about preparing for 2022. As a matter of priority, they should have an ex international (not goalie) be a part of the coaching staff.

Although, I think that this narrative of using the World Cup to prepare for the next one is a faulty one. We tried this ish in 2002 and we didn't qualify for 2006. If the plan all along was to build for 2022 then we should have dropped players on the North of 26 and maybe treat the Eagles as an Olympic squad and have 3 overage players. I am a fan of a very unpopular policy that I think we should have in place, we should mandate that 4-6 local league players be invited to camp anytime the Eagles are playing. We have to keep encouraging our local league players...

Finally, what I would like to see is for Mr. Pinnick to be the President of Naijarian Football Federation and not just the President of the Super Eagles.
Not diff from england; no?
worked for germany in 2012; no?

Nothing wrong with using a tournament to build experience..

Best way to encourage local league players is to make serious reforms to the league and build local coaching capacity.
What happened in 2012 with Germany? What World Cup was played that year?

Sorry, I meant 2010 in SA, which laid the foundation for the title in 2014.

Which World Cup did England use to build this their current team? Don't they have like only 6 or so players who played in the last World Cup in the current squad?

They are using this current squad to build experience as Southgate has repeatedly stated. It doesn't matter that they have some experienced players in there; that's what you are supposed to do when you have a young squad...

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini.

Haven't you noticed that Europeans like to take time to build their team unlike we Africans that go for short term approach. The closest to organization that we've had in the SE was Amodu and before that, Lagerback. SE is no longer a team just anyone can walk into. Its not a team of HEy yous. ROhr has made players want to play the best for their clubs. Didnt you all notice how they all started running to other teams on loan so they can get playing time? Before, players woudl just sit on the bench, collect money, get fat and know they would still get called up to the SE.

We just need ROhr to be backed up by a young, attack minded Nigerian coach that would take over from ROhr in 2yrs or after the 2022 WC.

Rohr stays as Super Eagles coach: NFF

http://scorenigeria.com.ng/2018/06/29/r ... coach-nff/

Gernot Rohr will stay on as Super Eagles coach despite wide-spread criticisms following the country’s early ouster from the World Cup in Russia, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have said.

Rohr has been knocked for not managing the crucial group game against Argentina for the Eagles to exit the tournament in the first round.

However, NFF president Amaju Pinnick has maintained Rohr has a new two-year contract and it will be honoured.

“I am not one of those who is asking for the coach to go,” Pinnick said.

“He has a new two-year contract and we will respect it.

“He has a young team who he will build on with the likes of Henry Onyekuru, Victor Osimhim, Kelechi Nwakali, Usman Mohammed and Junior Lokosa all now set to join this team.”

Rohr qualified Nigeria to Russia 2018, but the team failed to go past the group stage of the championship.

What the NFF should have done is to have a technical committee look at his games from the first one to the last one to see if there are improvements on the team before rushing to say he is staying.

Bro,
Let's analyse our coaches since 2010.

Nigeria Shaibu Amodu (2008–2010) - Was unjustly fired after qualifying NIgeria for the World cup. Though he had a poor outing with in the 2010 ANC and he's team looked totally disorganized. He should have been kept till after the world cup but public opinion was that he was not suitable for the big stage. Was his firing Just?
Sweden Lars Lagerbäck (2010) - He's team showed alot of organization, coordination but alas, the Aiyegbemi's of this world could not score simple goals that my grand mother would tap in. He Left after chopping our money!
Nigeria Samson Siasia (2010–2011) - Could not qualify Nigeria for ordinary ANC. Justly FIRED!!!!
Nigeria Stephen Keshi (2011–2015) - Lasted for about 4years. Said he was rebuilding the team. His rebuilt team won the ANC, qualified NIgeria for the world cup and got to the second round of the world cup. Was not retained due to shambolic play, a squad filled with Uchebos. After the world cup, he wanted to rebuild the rebuilt team. Was he justly fired for a younger Oliseh?
Nigeria Sunday Oliseh (2015–2016) - Ran away himself after getting the job on a platter of gold from Pinnick
Nigeria Samson Siasia (2016) - Was given a short term job to salvage Oliseh's mess, alas he failed to qualify us for the ANC!!! JUSTLY NOT RETAINED!
Germany Gernot Rohr (2016 - 2018) - Qualified Nigeria for the world cup with only one match to go (only major qualification tournament), had a very organized and compact team, selected the MOST inform Nigerian players, built team chemistry. HIs team did not qualify for the 2nd round of the world cup. He's contract extend for 2yrs.

As for Onigbinde, Eguavon and CCC, we all agree they were pretty useless.

He is basically finished as coach of Nigeria. It wasn't that we lost. It is the way Nigeria lost that upsets me. Pinnick is fooling himself if he thinks Rohr has a future with Nigeria.
Winners do it the right way.
