Lol. All the Rohr critics done pick race for this thread. We no deserve beta tin for Naija. Real talk.

Don't like his philosophy of the game...

But hard to see a game where he got his tactics wrong, save for the Croatia match...

I hear you but our people in general lack patience. They believe in the myth of overnight success which is why steady progress doesn't happen in Nigeria.

And frankly it is a shame, a damn shame if you ask me smh

Yes, but Libya's "home" games are not played in Libya, so in this case, the game will be played in Tunisia

[ohsee]

Misses Ighalo will get the MOTM but I would have given to JAY JAY IWOBI

Kpom! Who be dis Samuel Kalu by di way? That was some goal

[Cristao II]

Good win for Nigeria. We look forward to the next game. Happy for Odion.

No point crying over spilt milk, but one can only wonder what would have happened at the world cup if Iwobi was our AM.

I've always felt Ighalo has been unfairly criticised for failing to score because in more than half the games he's played for the SE, he has received very poor service. Even the likes of Harry Kane, Cavani, Lewandoski, and Suarez would have struggled to score in some of the games Ighalo has played for the SE. You can only judge a striker objectively when he's getting support and receiving the ball from those around him.

[joao]

Typical Cowardice Nigerians like Zee and co wouldn’t give the coach credit for this win, but if he had lost, they would had castigated the man.
Everyone should stay honorable at all times and you cannot blame the coach when the team loses while praising the players when we win

How can the highlighted happen to folks whose minds are on a one way track?
You go wait tire!
Abeg, chop rice and leave stone jare.

[marutimon]

Isaac success is a very good player. Even with the short time on the pitch. You could see his class.

Would have made it 5:0 had the ref not wrongly called a foul.

[ohsee]

Kalu is irritating the crap out of me with his play that only seeks personal glory.

Sharap abeg, Kalu is one of our few players that can create chances for himself and others.

He is not creating for others. Most times he is worse placed than team mates he goes for personal glory. That’s not to say he is a bad player. He needs to correct that aspect of his game and he will be on the next level.

[john12]

9jaman you’re the real clown for not accepting defeat and learning from it than insulting our coach.

Libya plays their games in Tunisia due to unrest in their country.

Hopefully it's just him trying to prove his worth with his first competitive start. He seems much more of a team player at Bordeaux.

gfor me iwobi was better than even field marshal mikel could have done

[john12]

People should stop saying rohr got his tactics wrong against Argentina or Croatia, he didn’t. We just lost to a better team with better players. Shikena! If you want to challenge world class teams, produce world class players. You see how these boys destroyed Libya today?

I hear you but our people in general lack patience. They believe in the myth of overnight success which is why steady progress doesn't happen in Nigeria.

Absolutely. We are probably the 2nd or 3rd best team in the continent atm...

Just need to sort out the 3rd midfielder position, more from a tactical standpoint than a personnel standpoint.

Iwobi is great in the last third, but overall contribution to central MF control is lacking...

Against an opponent like Libya he need not be perfect in the defensive phase because they lack the threat to capitalize on the spaces left behind but against more quality opponents I expect him to adjust accordingly to provide greater balance.

[Ekorian]

Based on this game, Aina should start ahead of Sheu and Usain bolt Collins should always be in the 1st eleven. I'm not sure why Musa is still playing from the wings and not centrally. Ndidi shouldn't be allowed near Uyo run girls again and Uzoho 2 left boots should be replace ASAP. Solid 2nd half but the Libyans were honestly gassed out....

[DIMKA76]

1 dodgy pena, 1 offside goal, And the fourth was Marginally offside at some stage. Only one legit goal.........

Nigeria were visibly better than Argentina. They lacked however a creative force in midfield. Iwobi would have made a world of difference. As would a proper winger on the wings.

Every Rohr critic has been saying the same thing since the November Nigeria - Argentina thrashing - Iwobi must start.

Is South Africa a better team with better players than Nigeria?

Why did they beat Nigeria in Uyo?

[charlie]

So who gets to qualify from the group? First 2 teams?

Wish I had ur confidence. Don't trust these Arsenal players and their sauna bath owner mentality- profiting off other people's sweat...
