[kdk4christ]

[9jaMan]

This daft Rohr will not make the SE great, why can’t onyekuru start,?what is etebo doing in the lineup?

[ohenhen1]

2 players on yellow card.

[Synopsis]

2 players on yellow card.

The truth is it is better to get a second yellow now and missing the match vs a 3rd place team than getting one in the next round and missing the quarterfinals.

[maceo4]

They wan kill Mikel again for AM?

[green4life]

2 players on yellow card.

This is one heck of a head scratcher???

[danfo driver]

At some point, Mikel should take the decision and inform the coach that he is not his best in the attacking midfield role.

Musa and Etebo right?

[Its a Goal]

I think Rohr decided to field a team that will just get a point by playing some of the fringe players.

[ohenhen1]

No excuses will be accepted.

[jdizzy]

We are back to this Mikel as an advanced midfielder nonsense eh? I am not a Rohr critic like a lot of folks here but this tactic has not yielded positive results time after time so why persist?

[Eaglezbeak]

So he’s planning on getting a point despite winning the last two games?Since when was Madagascar able to make you think this way?

I have always believed it is Mikel himself that is pushing to play in the AM role.
Probably a lifelong dream that nobody else believes in.

I am almost certain he is the one who is pushing for it. And Nigeria’s coaches seem incapable of explaining to him that he should leave that pipe dream at home. Perhaps then, that’s why he is the only one who can instruct them that they should do the right thing. What a shambles.

[pajimoh]

The usual complaining. Nothing to see here

[Scipio Africanus]

Would have liked to see Osimhen start. Also what is Mikel doing in dat lineup?

Anyway fingers crossed. Let's go SE!

[danfo driver]

You better open your eye and see Mikel playing AM

The whole world sees it, so Rohr must see it.
Question is, why is he ignoring it?

Of course it’s Mikel that is pushing for that. He’s lazy and doesn’t want to deal with the high work rate required of a DM. So playing the advanced midfield role gives him the leeway to stroll around.

The same reason most of our past coaches ignore it—- they lack the balls to be honest with him or they are just too lazy to search and introduce other options in that position.

I don’t believe it’s laziness on Mikel’s part. After all he has played that role for years. Like most human beings, he must prefer the more glorious role than the less glorious role of DM.

Let’s not also immediately look at the negative. What if Mikel is actually doing this because he believes it’s in our best interest. He is intelligent, he is not bad with creating, so perhaps he feels like he has to “take One for the team” and play that role, since we do not have another viable option there (in his opinion). Who knows.

I support Coach Rohr 100% and will judge him based on results ATF.
