Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr has admitted that his team lacks good cutting edge in attack and must find ways of breaking the opponents down after their timid display in Sunday’s shocking 2-0 loss to Madagascar.
Completesports.com. reports that the Eagles have struggled to find the back of the net in recent outings despite the presence of top quality strikers in the team.
The situation worsened on Sunday when they were defeated 2-0 by debutants Madagascar, with only one shot on target. The development has angered fans with some calling for the sack of Rohr.
The German admits his team struggles in front of goal and assured Nigerians that they have to find a solution to the problem in training.
“I know we have problems with scoring of goals, especially against teams who are well organized defensively. Madagascar didn’t give us space to play, they defended together and our wingers were not able to breakthrough.
“The performance was better in the second half, but it wasn’t enough. We gifted the first goal and they became stronger, we have to work on our scoring problems and solve the problems before our next game.”
