“We need to be tidy at home. We have to really work as the MFM team of late have been doing very well. It won’t be an easy game as we have to prepare very well. But we know quite well, the only compensation we can do and to realise what we have done here is to get the results at home. That could be inspiring for the players and I see us doing a wonderful job against MFM,” he said.
It will be noted that the 8-times NPFL champions missed the golden opportunity to climb to second position last week Thursday after drawing 1-1 with IfeanyiUbah.

Fans of Enyimba have called for the sack of the technical adviser, Coach Fatai Osho after the ‘Peoples elephants’ crashed out of this year’s CAF Confederation Cup on Sunday.
After suffering a 4-1 loss in the first leg, Enyimba forced Pyramids of Egypt to a 1-1 draw in the return leg in Aba to exit the competition on a 2-5 aggregate.
Immediately after the match, fans of Enyimba expressed their disappointment while calling for the sack of the coach.
An ardent fan, Austin Ihenacho said “I think we Enyimba fans are tired of putting up with osho and his local tactics. How is ‘sun’ a tactic in football in the 21st century? It shows he doesn’t have any other trick up his sleeves. He should just bow out honourably.”
Going by the poll set by
Goal Africa, 225 fans voted with 43.1 per cent of the followers claiming the NPFL players are good enough for the Super Eagles while 56.9 per cent voted that they are not.
Interestingly, two fans left their comments – one claimed NPFL players’ performances in Caf competitions should be used as a guide by Rohr while the other suggested they lack technical abilities.

Ahead of next Friday’s international friendly game against Cameroon in Austria, Rohr has called up Heartland goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa, and Enyimba duo Anayo Iwuala and John Noble, who earned their maiden invitation to the national team in March.
