Rohr said we have a young team and hopes to learn in Egypt

[Damunk]

LOL that in 2019 people still do not understand that pretty much all coaches make modest statements.

Most of them do not beat their chests announcing how they will "flog their opponents"

Rohr is even saying how Burundi and Madagascar will be "tough"

It is a tactical thing that most coaches do.

You people are so desperate to bring the man down that you are latching on to his words and making them mean something else.

Mikel and Iwobi said the exact same thing and suddenly they all go mute.

[Damunk]

Delusional Nigerians once again. I will start putting mandates on rohr from 2020,1,22. As of now, our team is young and we must give them time to grow achieve and dominate

The french were young too and they won the WC ..

The team is of Rohr's own making so if they are young he chose them young ..

In any case our key players arent really that young. Balogun is 30 , Mikel is 32, ogu is 30, akpeyi is 32 , ezenwas is 30, ekong, omeruo, shehu and musa are all 26 ish , Ighalo is 30, Etebo and Colins are 24 ..

All in all all it looks like our most likely starters are closer to 30 than 20 so where is this young team I keep hearing about ?

The only 'key' players in this your 'old' list are Mikel and possibly Balogun.
There are more young 'key' players than old ones.
Kalu, Chukwueze, Aina, Ndidi, Iwobi and Collins are far more 'key' than Ogu, Shehu, Ezenwa or Ighalo. And they are virtually guaranteed starters.
Then there are Onuachu and Osimhen who have an equal chance of starting as Mrs Ighalo.

So no do us wuruwuru for here. The elderly players are mostly backups!

[Cristao II]

Why is he always saying that we did not make it to the last 2 ANCs? What does that have to do with this ANC. He should research why we didn't make it. In the first ANC Keshi was actually working without a contract! He was not paid over ten months and there were rows over bonuses. 2nd ANC was even worse! We completed the qualifying series with 3 different coaches! With one of the coaches dumping the team a week to a very crucial game! Please tell me how you expect a team to qualify under such circumstances? If these coaches got at least half of the support Rohr has, they would have qualified. Rohr has never won anything in his entire career! This explains why he does not have the winning mentality. Let's just see what he has to offer but the young team talk is rubbish! We are not Gabun or one of these small african teams he has been coaching, he has to be given targets, thats what is done in every job! So why should his case be different? This man has spent more than 3 yrs with the team!

You think it is normal in life to not prepare well and succeed? We have missed the last 2 ANCs. A large number of the team have no experience of playing at an ANC. I am sure NFF has set his target.

I dont remember the french saying they where definitly going to win the World Cup before it started,infact i remember the French public doubting their team!

[Odas]

will VAR be used at the nations cup?

It will be a major mistake and indeed embarrassing if 'goal-line technology and VAR' are not used in this AFCON. Thus, I believe the answer to your question is; YES.

This just shows how very shallow and lack of depth you analyze things. How many young teams are actually going to Afcon..No Egyptian player or Senegalese player currently tasted Afcon glory...we have more Afcon winners in our team compared to Morocco. Algeria, Egypt, Ghana, Senegal, Tunisia, South Africa...etc...but you shout and accept the silly young and learning trash talk....my goodness you guys are funny. If Rohr cannot win the Afcon he must and will be fired....

You forgot Ighalo and the fact that Akpeyi is now the likely starter menaing that 4 out of the likely starters are over 30 . Furthermore you ignore the fact that Ekong, Omeruo Shehu and Musa are all 26ish which would be middle age , Kalu, Aina, Iwobi, Colins, Etebo and Onuachu at 23 /24 could also be considered middle age

The only truly young players are Chukwueze and Osimhen so again where is this young team he speaks of ?

More Importantly most of these guys have serious tournament experience under their belts even at their so called young ages . They have all been in high pressure situations , played in different leagues across different countries some are veterans of the Olympcs, Youth tournaments ,CL, La Liga , EPL etc so abeg this they are a young team talking point is as lame as it comes

Long and short of it the age factor is a dubious talking point for whatever its worth

The same people that are insulting Rohr and saying we can’t score goals want him to say “ we are going to win this Afcon” but Nigeria didn’t even participate in last two Afcons despite winning the tournament the last time they did participate with a team that Nigerians where expecting to lose to Drogba and co.

Please let's stop this nonsense about we didn't qualify for 2 previous AFCONs abeg.

We have local coaches that took us there previously and one actually led the team to a win. Kini big deal?

He just needs to show he is worth his weight in gold by inspiring the boys to win it.

Coach Keshi is the standard. Not Amodu who qualified us repeatedly and led us to a semi final

The irony is both are now dead.

[green4life]

Some SE fans remind me of a certain club from London I support. Unreasonable and operating with trigger happy fingers. Always looking for reasons to fire a coach regardless of results.

Meanwhile, brother BP, have a nice evening

Chief how far ...

My brother we thank God. Nothing spoil. I troway you greetings.

[oloye]

Nigerians love people who make mouth and deliver little. That is why you have loud mouths all over the country. It is the reason why many are so gullible. A team that did not attend the last two ANC has no business talking about winning unless such just feels like boasting.
Everytime I see Nigerians fuming and raging after the loss of a match, I think I know why....

so we should not talk and get bamboozled ...when we can hire a cheaper local manager who can tell us the same crap that rohr said... yes they didn't qualify for the last two AFCOns because of circumstances beyond our control...bottom line, this same Rohr who went to the worldcup , will get to face 18 other teams who missed out in Russia...we don't hear them shouting they missed Russia....

why must rorhr get a pass?

If the team does not perform he would be fired, it is that simple. But the point here is, it has nothing to do with what he has to say.

[Bigpokey24]

NO!!! it has a lot to do with it... this was the same way he ran his mouth during the WC in Russia, he sucked the mental strenght from us and we caved in vs Argentina.... I recall the Dream Team being 3-1 down vs Brazil, ( they even missed a PK) and came back to win the game ..The Rohr wants us to PTB and fear the likes of Senegal( never won a ACFON) Morocco, Egypt, Burundi Madagascar( freaking cartoon making nation) Mauritania etc... smh

But he did not suck this mental strength out when the team found itself in group of death during the WC qualifiers, this was when the general consensus was that Nigeria won't qualify. He did not suck their strength out starting from a disadvantaged position in the afcon qualifiers.

If anything I would have thought his records with African team is enough to go by, regardless of what he says. Like I said bro.. Nigerians love a good story teller.
