The best generation of Nigerian players ever is now ‘limited’ resources.

Osimhen is the only world class player that Rohr had theoretical access to. Even then, Osimhen did not play 1 second at a tournament because he was always injured.

Rohr was given a lot of support, time and had a decent crop of players to work with - so towards the end he was underperforming and had to go

Amodu on the other hand I think deserves more empathy because he often had to work with limited time and whatever players and resources were available. And when he had success like qualifying us they didn’t give him the justified time to build on that success and moguls his team etc
