I blame ROHR for the average performance of players like Umar and Awoniyi for people who have played ball at the highest level of a tournament they would know you don’t expect a player no matter how good to perform well in a team that he is new to albeit a tournament. I believe if Sodiq is properly integrated in the team with Awoniyi they will get better . ROHR destroyed the team by constantly ignoring better players that could have gelled well with the team if they had been invited earlier. Teams get better when they play constantly together as this is evidence in team of Senegal and Egypt .
Ego killed our team but it’s still a blessing in disguise as this will humble them to take Ghana match very serious. Mark my word NFF will higher a foreign coach after we qualify for World Cup . NFF don’t trust Equ besides hiring a foreigner increases the purse of NFF . Imagine Egu will be paid 3 million per month while ROHR was receiving $50k each month.
