Gernot Rohr’s led 4-1 at half-time but capitulated after the break conceding three times.

Useless team in the history of Nigeria
Useless NFF taken matches across the country like some kind of beauty pageant. GR had three RB but could not field any one that he had to a CB out of position as a RB. I’m so pissed right now. Please GR OUT!!!
Rohr try sha. Akpoguma for play better.
We need to go back to uyo asap
i dont know Nigeria coach like to play boyz out of their position, No 5 to play 2, central defender play 3, left back play 3, no 2 play 5, we need younger coach with new modern football, anyway NFF still dey eat balanda money from the coach
We don’t have a coach
if nigeria is indeed a country, can genot rohr became it national team coach?? now wonder biafrans called it a zoo.. #dividenigeria..we want niger delta republic.. endnigeria and save lives.. zoo
What brings call for the balkanization of the country into the conversation on Super Eagles’ capitulation? Let’s learn to comment responsibly please.
I woke up this morning and still angry about yesterday’s match. Have they sacked Rohr yet?
– Please sack Rohr and bring in Amuneke. He’s the best man for the job at the moment and knows what to do.
– Amuneke’s teams play beautiful, exciting, tactical football (Nigeria U17 2015 set & Tanzanian national team).
– He doesn’t play players out of position and he groomed 50% of the current SE team.
– He’s widely experienced, top FIFA-graded coach and widely travelled.
– He just needs the right assemble of top quality players like Nigeria (which Tanzania doesn’t have the luxury, except Ssmata and a couple of other players).
.
– Players must never be played out of position, no matter what. Akpoguma’s unfamiliar role contributed in disrupting the flow of play yesterday. And we warned Rohr early before the match o. What a coach! Rubbish.
– BY ALL MEANS, NFF PLEASE SACK ALLOY AGU TOO. He has produced zilch since he became goalkeeper coach.
– Bring in Karl Ikeme
– People like Ekong, Onuachu etc need to be frozen out of the team for now. Even Kelech & Ajayi needs to be bit part players only for now. Only A-grade players who make instant impacts.
– Amuneke will need to give second opportunities to prospects like Maja & Olayinka and give them enough playing time.
– Lastly, Pinnick should sack himself and step down with his u serious, corrupt board. A new interim board should take over with elections to take place soon.
Omo9ja, come and lead this #EndRohr protest o.
We don’t need any local coach now .. we need a quality coach like scolari coach who has experience and well to do not all this local coaches wen go collect bribe or invite his brother academy players we only amuneke as assistant not head coach .
It is a very painful situation. It is not a matter of being GR Fans or not. The squandered lead is the most painful in recent years. The coach let us down in this one and the only way to undo this pain is an outright win in freetown. Chai! I cried when i saw the final score. na wa for super eagles oh. Una spoil my day but please, don’t let this happen again.
How could Super Eagles be up 4 nil in 26 minutes and later drew the game with a lowly team? I lost the opportunity to win over $60k yesterday because of Rohr. The same thing happened in Uyo against South Africa. This man does not have the charisma to coach the Nigerian team.
Please, make sure you bet responsibly. I hope you have better luck next time.
Stay blessed.
@My heart, you think someone who squandered 4-0 in Benin would win in Freetown?
@My heart, you think someone who squandered 4-0 in Benin would win in Freetown? It is really terrible.
@Joe. It is pathetic but lets keep our fingers crossed. I just hope the coach will get things right this time. We must now know that this draw have boosted the morale of the leonians. Victory in freetown will not come easy or “freely,” becos there is NOTHING FREE EVEN IN FREETOWN.
