This guy should be given more playing time in super eagles defence. He will take over from Balogun who is coping with the African side of football but im not sure he can cope with European and south American players in the world cup, these players are very fast and technical and will give balogun problems. Akpoguma is still young and fast he should be given a chance to settle into the central defence of the Super Eagles.
This is one area Rohr needs to improve. He needs to have some balls and try players or give some game time to assess them not only when restrictions or injuries force him to field players. Imagine Ejuke used to be a fringe player and used to be on standby list till the restrictions affected the Cape verde game. He probably will still be a fringe player till now if weren’t forced to field what we had.
God bless you my brother. These are the signs that made me think otherwise about rohr technical abilities. He’s too rigid and if he continue like this, it may affect super eagles against strong opposition.
