Re: PREDICTIONS FOR SUNDAY'S GAME
If you are saying it not about personnel then who provides the assists to Osimhen to score? Simon, Collins, Onyeka, Ekong, Aina, Aribo?Enugu II wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 2:06 pmMy point is the personnel should not matter. Our third team personnel is better than their first team. Is not a po ersonnel issue. Look to how the game was managed. That us where the issue lies. If we begin to look at personnel then you cannot come back and claim that we should be OK laying players in the top leagues in Europe. Where is the logic?Flex Swift wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 1:58 pmI can’t stand Rohr so I am not making excuses for him but the team put out was wack, the team put out against Cape Verde was equally wack. We got away with it against Cape Verde because they scored an own goal. But at some point your luck runs out which happened yesterday.Enugu II wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 1:24 pmSo now it is the first game that matters and not the fact that they are playing at the top level in Europe? So when do we give credit to the CAR lower level players? When do you call out Rohr?Flex Swift wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 12:51 pmPlease tell me how many of the 4th division players were playing their first International competitive game???? In our team we had Taiwo, and Onyeka we had four players off form Collins, Aribo, Simon and Aina. That half the team then we had Ekong who is not a good defender (nice guy). We got away with against Cape Verde but at some point your luck is going to run out.Enugu II wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 11:29 amBut flex how come a team with 4th division players and local lads won? Please explain. How were they ready for international football?Flex Swift wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 11:11 amFlex Swift wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 11:08 am Everything depends on the line up. I said before yesterday’s game that Simon Moses form had dipped, he had a poor game against Cape Verde yet started yesterday.
The EPL fans selected Onyeka for Rohr what impact did that guy have on the game?
I mentioned scoring against relegation threatened teams doesn’t make you ready for international football and to be fair Taiwo should have played in a friendly match first rather than being thrust into a competitive game…. Anyway people got their wish.That sitter set the tone for the rest of the match.
The crossing by Ania & Simon was very poor and Osimhen was only player in the box to provide a threat.
I think the Eagles need an attacking coach to assist Rohr with how to get the team to attack and get rid of Yobo who adds no value.
I mentioned the importance of set plays ….. we had how many corner kicks ? not one threaten.
I think the game on Sunday could end up being 0-0
Bros, time to be done with these excuses. Enough of it already. We were simply outreached. Plain and simple.
Why was Tyrone (RB) and Sanusi (LB) dropped??? Sanusi played in the quarter finals of the Champions league last season while Collins helped Paderborn get relegated. Why hasn’t Rohr actively been scouting for Nididi’s backup? Why doesn’t the team prioritise the practice of set-plays? I have seen any equipment used for set play drills during the videos of the practice sessions. Like said before no matter who is in charge the team always has deadwood. Why is Musa still playing when he has lost his pace?
What is the teams attacking strategy? I am not so sure when Nigeria drops in quality they are better than the CAR

Tragedy is we've slid down so much under Rohr that the "odd bounce or two" is what separates us from CAR, Cape Verde, Lesotho, etc.

Re: PREDICTIONS FOR SUNDAY'S GAME
Lol man you realize they were playing defensively away and still had 2 one on ones while we had a few half chances and their keeper didn’t have to make any save. This one sounds like Kelechi telling the Sierra Leone boys ‘we vex come’ only to get a boring drawkawawa wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 5:55 pmI stand by my prediction.

Re: PREDICTIONS FOR SUNDAY'S GAME
I predict that Rohr has still not learned anything from all of his failures.
Failure can be good if you learn from it and improve.
Rohr is so slow to react to anything.
A dunce.

Re: PREDICTIONS FOR SUNDAY'S GAME
I agree.
Supposedly Nacho is injured so that could force the dummy to act.
But he could surprise us with his stupidity and play a 442 without Nacho.

the pitch we will play on in Cameroon is better than our own shameful pitch.
I have been watching many games, and that our pitch in Lagos is piss poor. I am not singling out the pitch for our performance, but it plays a part and why on earth does the NFF have to jeapordize everything. Let us play on the best pitch Nigeria has to offer, pretty sure Lagos is not it.
Rohr and the players have consistently complained about it. Rain or no rain.
Re: PREDICTIONS FOR SUNDAY'S GAME
They (CAR) won because we were completely USELESS and couldn't pass the ball accurately. Each time our men had the ball, CAR players, double-teamed in their markings. In all, I think if we had scored first, it would have been a different story.Enugu II wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 11:29 amBut flex how come a team with 4th division players and local lads won?

Re: PREDICTIONS FOR SUNDAY'S GAME
But will the coach see what he is doing wrong and make a change? I have been on his side for so long, but the loss of yesterday really got on me. How, and I mean how did we lose to CAR in our kitchen? This is NOT good, guys.

Re: PREDICTIONS FOR SUNDAY'S GAME
I forsee a draw going by previous trends with the team...
After the SA loss at home, the return outcome was a draw, albeit controversial
Again, after the SL draw, the return match ended in a scoreless draw.
If I was a betting man I'd go for a draw on Sunday.
I would love that the SE return with an emphatic win though. But that's just my wish.

But some people are counting on our luck to change... not that they saw us creating clear chances and breaking them down at home. They are believing we will be luckier in Cameroon... maybe another own goal is in the offing?

It was suppose to be 4-0 in our favourwanaj0 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 7:12 amWe should beat CAR 4-0! If we should lose to CAR (which is an impossible future tense) then we should disband the team. Even without a coach we should be able to beat CAR. CAR will be playing 'away'Gotti wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 1:34 am Btw, I have seen other threads canvassing for Rohr's immediate dismissal...
As obviously LIMITED as Rohr is, no federation (even the 'insane' NFF) should fire a coach in the midst of a fast-moving qualifying campaign, while the coach's team is actually leading its qualifying group (however tenuous). Accordingly, Rohr has more than ample time to redeem himself (or at least save his backside), starting from Sunday's game. In fact, he should consider it good fortune that we play CAR again so soon after this disastrous outing, as it affords him the immediate opportunity (before too many folks actually digest the full import of today's disgrace) to so comprehensively right the ship such that this outing would effectively be cast as an aberration. Personally, I fully expect us to SUCCESSFULLY navigate the rest of this Second Round of the qualifiers (however half-arsed), and one can only pray and hope that we get a 'kind' draw in the decisive Third Round.
PS: Btw, we're quite fortunate Sunday's game is in Douala, where there should be TONS of Nigerians and thus more like a home game.
It is TOO late to SACK Rohr. We should have sacked him after the WC.

Re: PREDICTIONS FOR SUNDAY'S GAME
I got it wrong. The boys showed much determination to win
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life"
"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
