We already have a very solid core of a good team

Post by Tobi17 »

Rohr's glaring lack of ideas and tactical ineptitude aside, let nobody make the mistake of throwing the baby along with the bath water. I'm watching the first leg of the Nig vs SL match now for the first time, and up until that bizarre mental collapse in the 76th minute or so of the second half, those boys played some very good football; and the midfield of Iwobi, Aribo and Etebo kept possession very well until that injury forced Etebo out and kinda dulled the momentum (we pretty much lost hold of the midfield from that point) with Iwobi particularly guilty of some very nonchalant football. The core and backbone of this team as we all know seems set already- with of course few more additions expected for various reasons to be complete the team (the likes of Lookman, Ejaria, Alhassan Yusuf?, Nwakali, Noah Sanrenren bazee and Kingsley Ehibizue). The main core are Balogun (make him the captain), Iwobi, Ndidi(boy did we miss him so badly right now) , Etebo, Aribo, Chukwueze, Samuel Kalu, Ebuehi and Osimhen(the main guy right now). Then throw in the likes of Nacho, Ejuke, Ajayi, Lookman, Ejaria, Ehibizue, Sanusi, Aina, Akpoguma etc for a solid depth. It will be extremely daft to rejig the "rebuilding" process again with a new coach... our team is more or less 80% set already. All it needs is just some fantuning here and there.

Now if Rohr gets the sack ahead of next years remaining qualifiers, I suggest a more attacking minded coach with a proven track record gets hired to see how to get the best out of the team... cause those boys are not playing to the best of their real abilities, Rohr has held this team back so much for 4 solid years now.

Did we have a different coach in the first 76 mins that you don't want to throw out?

Football is a 90 minutes game not 76. He didnt react.

That's a very daft question, we all know Rohr's team is never a 90 mins team due to the terrible game management of Rohr. We can literally score 6 goals under Rohr and then in the 80th minute suffer a mental collapse and concede 6 goals... too many games of this nature have confirmed that Rohr's team just can't seem to see out a game. We already have a good team, now we need a tactically competent coach to manage the team.

... in another word, coach Rohr is not the reason we failed to defeat Sierra Leone, eh? I didn't watch the game, but people are blaming the coach for the breakdown

Exactly my point, I'm never comfortable even when we are leading comfortably under Rohr.

We will keep learning under Rohr and we will end up wasting the best years and prime of most of these players who will end up winning nothing of note since they are still "young" or are "learning.
