Cybereagles

Rohr did not redeem himself, there are few sides more telegraphed than England, there was no surprise in their shape and yet Donut seemed dumbfounded...Needing sweeping tactical changes by the half mark screams loudly of a bigger bungle than the brown bear from Rainbow, in the beginning. The first half was comfortably, one of the shoddiest displays of, Saturday afternoon, post Friday night beer binge, kickabouts witnessed for quite some time. Pathetic is too praising. Rohr meowed. Redemption? Not at all. Such mistakes on a grander stage lead to elimination.

I was watching with some Croatians and Italians and they couldnt believe how poor those two were .., shocking

He has added nothing to the team for the last 3 years.

Dig up the threads. I was the biggest campaigner for him over Ogude in the 2013 CAN.

He has been stinking up the joint for some time now.

Time to get on the bench (but still make the 23).

The sloppiness of some of these 'established' guys today should push the momentum towards Aina over Elderson

Bros your Cafu was careless and useless today. Ebuhehi was million times better. Onazi with chest like 5.5kva generator set did not disappoint , he did all he could to send one of his mates to Gbobi with his stupid passes....he needs to be permanently installed in the bench.
Ogu's intelligence and confidence were just too good for me.

Man of the match for the Super Eagles was most certainly GERNOT ROHR. The gaffer definitely earned his salary by the way he turned things around in the 2nd half.

No doubt........we have a very good coach.

Oga.......I advise that you change your handle. How you can say that “Rohr didn’t redeem himself” is simply astonishing...........

Dem say my Cafu dey fast...abeg if he wants to fast ...good for him, but world cup or football at this level cannot afford that.

We might as well be GAPS Store!!!

I will be disappointed if Uzoho is playing in the Spanish 2nd division next season. He is a good young goalkeeper. Technically sound, just needs more experience.

I hope that the lesson learnt there is we need some reasonable height manning the goal, that goal reminds me of Heinze's goal in WC 2010

Uzoho
Ebuehi, Balogun, Ekong, Idowu
Mikel, Ndidi, Etebo
Iwobi, Ighalo, V Moses

did you watch the game?
Iwobi does not belong on the wings
Our midfield should be Mikel, Ndidi and Iwobi in the #10 role
Just as i prescribed

Pretty much. Mikel needs to stay deeper though.

BABAFAT!!! How far? Long time.

If he is a good coach because of the second half, was he a bad coach because of the first half?

Abeg my heart can't take it any more. Onazi must be the first out. Joel Obi next.

My goodness! Are u serious?

The only thing redeeming here is the fact this is a friendly and he experimented with a 4-2-3-1 in first half...

Outside that this was bad rubbish!

Its just a friendly...

I think every one that played today, the other two goalkeeprs, Ndidi and Awaziem have made the team.
The players that didn't play today and on the bubble- Nwankwo, Agu,Echiejile and Aina. I hear Mikel Agu has been training well. We will not take 5 full backs to the world cup.

So it is between Aina and Echiejile for the final full back spot.

Between Nwanwo and Agu for the 23rd man spot.


I think Rohr is going to drop Aina and Agu.

Nwakali's omission in this WC squad is surely coming back to bite us in the rear. Onazi...? What a waste of space? The guy wouldn't even make it in the MLS and now is WC bound. What was Rohr watching in training? So, you mean Rohr watched both men during training, and still decided Nwakali was not ready, but an overweight and ineffective Onazi merited being in a world cup squad? Wow!

With the exception of 4 players (Ebuehi, Mikel, Moses and Iwobi), our beloved SE lacks quality, but having said that -- Rohr's decision-making abilities are equally questionable!

You wanna bet that he remains upfield in Russia?

It is a friendly, but the 2nd half fight back against a top 10 side at Wembley will boost the team confidence.

At this present time the task before Rohr is to fit Alex in as the primary forward/playmaker and Mikel as a deep lying playmaker because his legs are clearly gone but his ball retention and distribution remain outstanding .... so how do we play both Mikel and Alex in the same team and still maintain our defensive/offensive balance ... Well I guess that’s why they pay rohr the big bucks .... but I must admit not since the Argentina game have I seen a worse first half ... jeez
