Liberia 0 vs Nigeria 2

[green4life]

2-0 . Scoreline flatters but we must destroy CV in Lagos

lol. Destroy ke? We just need a result to qualify. I will be happy with a draw. My guess is Rohr feels the same as well.

[Igugu]

Collins is not having a great game, I actually don't mind Daddy Simon in this game.

A little bit more urgency and we will be fine

Exactly what I observed in this game. Why are most of our boys running like pregnant women? No spring in their feet at all. Abi na so Mr. G. Rohr tell dem make dem play? Ha ba!

[txj]

Either the coach doesn't understand 3-5-2 or the players cannot play (don't understand) 3-5-2. I don't understand how we huffed, puffed, and wobbled our way to win this game. Miracles do exist sometimes.

Its not a miracle, the poor performance notwithstanding.

We were much stronger than Liberia.

are you having a laugh? with this team? just wish that naija get to 3rd round!

Osimhen is a poor striker. I don't care he got a penalty! He is POOR!!!

The problem with you is that u are too sentimental...

Making a complete ike of urself...

I agree. call me any name you choose. I know what I expect of a striker, and he is not it.

The problem when you say stuff like this is that it becomes difficult to take anything else you say seriously.

TonyTheTigerKiller is still trying to recover from some foolish takes he made 10 years ago. Don't follow suit.

I honestly don't care what anyone thinks of what I say. You watch the game and come away with what you see. I do the same. We don't have to agree. To each his own. I have watched enough football in my life and I LOVE me a good striker. I am completely fascinated with that position. I am not impressed with Oshimhen ONE bit in this game. If that makes me "foolish" then I embrace it.

He has been very poor for SE for a few games.

He is definately overhyped. I am sorry to say.

Yeah.

Rohr never saw an opportunity to conserve that he ignored.

The team do not just lack cohesion. They lack confidence!

Even during the time of Lagerback and Vogts they did not lack confidence!

This is the first time I have seen a Nigerian side consistently lack confidence. This means that Rohr's uninspired style is seeping into the team.

It wansn't even just a problem of tactics. There were at least 5 occasions in the first half where the SE were in a GREAT position, but they refused to play the through ball and instead decided to backtrack!

Even a team ranked 140 in the FIFA ranking would have more confidence than this Nigeria side. Rohr is not only ill equipped to coach Nigeria, I wouldn't even recommend him to coach Lesotho, and no I am not joking or being rude.

I think people should watch the game with no stress on them and come and read their comments. From what I saw Nigeria stayed in second gear all through. Liberia were toothless.

We don't need to watch a game twice to know when we played poorly. I didn't need to watch the Cape Verde game twice to praise the SE.

[vancity eagle]

Captain Musa scores. Please end his SE career with that goal and bid him farewell. Thank you and good luck in your future....

He has been very poor for SE for a few games.

He is definately overhyped. I am sorry to say.

Is this an attempt at sarcasm?

Musa is a freeloader living off past glory. Abeg Buhari give him a parcel of land in Abuja and lets call it a day.

You said he's a poor striker. He demonstrably is NOT a poor striker. He may have had a poor game - I didn't watch it - but he's not a poor striker. Stop it.

He plays well for his club, so is it the player thats the problem or the coach/system/long ball only tactics that you mentioned earlier?

[green4life]

Job done on to the next one. Not a vintage or memorable performance but we never looked in trouble, our lack of cohesion in the final 3rd was worrisome.

3 points was what the doctor ordered and the team delivered on that

Ironically for me Okoye has been a bit uninspiring in goal. I like my goalie to be 100% in command of their box. Okoye can be indecisive at times which may be costly

[fabio]

WTF is wrong with Rhor?

I mean WTF!!!!

Why can he not use his bench to change this game!!!!!!!!

You were on the call with ex-SE spokesperson (I think you were) when we were told... He leaves his sub very late, just in case the GK is injured or sent off.

I've noticed the same things and actually prefer Uzoho...but good to have the option sha, there was a time where we struggling for decent goalies.

We didn’t play well today even though we created enough chances to win by 3 even 4 but Vic never stopped hustling

We know he has quality but that hunger set him apart from most of his team mates who sometimes looked to be on vacation

Hit the ignore button. I don’t even bother.

Probably sums up Rohr time as SE coach!

Please remember that we don't have players in the top clubs or in champions leagues... We have no Salah or Mane. We have to stay humble and keep learning.

[vancity eagle]

Joe Aribo is the only player who had a good game.

The rest were below average.

Awaziem who I praised in the first half had 3 or 4 jittery moments at the back in the 2nd. Not inspiring at all.

Not good enough. Crap display all the way around.

Rohr should not be married to having to force Iheanacho into the starting 11. It should be an option, but definately not a must. It hasn't yielded much positive so far.

Oh did I forget to say Rohr is a crap coach.
