Nigeria legend Austin Okocha has blamed Gernot Rohr for Super Eagles 2-0 loss to Croatia, in a 2018 FIFA World Cup Group D game, on Saturday night.
Jay Jay, a legendary playmaker, opined that Rohr's poor tactical approach cost Nigeria the game.
“It was a decent first half but maturity was the edge the Croatian team had over the Nigerian team,” Okocha said on SuperSport.
“The Super Eagles got done by the movements of the Croatian team in their box. The Super Eagles midfielders were not doing their best both in defending and in attack.
“The manager didn’t earn his money today. We were not a threat in the first half and I was expecting him to play three at the back, five players in the midfield and two strikers to the team a chance to get back into the game.
“It is sad because I know we can do better than this. Of course there is still hope but we have to do it the hard way now.
“These (Croatians) are world class players who know how to win by exploiting little details.”
