Watch out for Josh Maja, this is one player who dosent get so much hype in England but he's a good prospect, scored a brace in preseason before he got injured which gave a chance to Lewis grabban who is not it altall, else he would have been Sunderlands top man. he's back from injury scored a good goal last match. Most importantly he has the physicality to mix it with the big boys despite his small frame, he's ours no battle with England, one of those players who's gonna be a big shot in a few years. He's a Defoe esque kinda player very strong to.

forgiveness:



Stop lying.

Mind you I am not saying ogu is bad. but having him and Mikel will hamper our midfield. If both of them play our midfield will be over run. check the first half of our argues match. It was the fighting ndidi that gave us the second half with his interceptions. look at man city Tottenham match that second goal by debryne ohhh see the amazing speed at which they counter Tottenham. speed matter a lot bro in today's modern game

Una still dey this "Ogu is too slow" matter? There is nothing dem dey take speed do. If you are decent enough, you will perform. Etebo bawo? Abi is it not the same Etebo climbing on someone's back like small pikin wey him mama wan abandon in the match against Algeria?

Lemme say it for all who care to listen and for the umpteenth time! Etebor has no business in our midfield. I can understand as a SS or maybe winger. Anything short of that ,na bench abegi !!!

Icon79:
Nne, you made a good point that these days strikers (goal scorers) are favored in winning those awards. The keyword being "winning". And some clown came out of nowhere to argue that Kante came 8th!

I mean, how's that relevant to the point you made (or were tryna make)


O pari o for NL

If Uzoho was in the post against Argentina in the last world cup edition, I don't think Messi would have fared well against him like he performed against Enyeama. If you watch Messi's first goal in that game, he played the ball up to the roof of the net, why? because he knew fully well that Enyeama's short height wouldn't allow him to do well against up balls, and before Messi played the ball, Enyeama was looking to dive along the ground where he thrives, but Messi did not play to his expectations and strength.

Another player who understood and worked with this Enyeama's weakness was Diego Forlan of Uruguay. I remember how he scored the winning gaol against Enyeama in the Confederations cup. He played the same way Messi played his, by playing it straight to the roof of the net, and that might been how Messi discovered that the short Enyeama can't cope very well with such kind of shots.

Messi's second goal can also be attributed to same weakness. The short Enyeama couldn't see the freekick on time due to his shortness and it caused him a late reaction.

Yes, he may have made some great savings, but those goals he conceded wouldn't have been conceded by a tall Uzoho in goal. And it will unwise to start Enyeama against Argentina again (if he returns) with same Messi and other players who may have taken note of his weaknesses from that previous match.

MetalJigsaw:
You're obviously the one lying or you're ignorant about it.

You haven't answered my question. Is he a starter yes or no?

MetalJigsaw:
Nope, he doesn't always play. And when he plays, its a stoppage time introduction.

sarcastic safarigirl lol. Uzoho will be in goal for us at the world cup. If you can't live with that that's your probs. Moses not listed for APOY 2017 is the greatest tragedy for Africa football this year. He single handedly defeated Algeria and Cameroon

fabyom:
Awaziem pass to kelechi and musa for both iwobi goals were sublime. I have the match on my phone I watch it everyday. Mind you ogu is too slow. Mikel obi and ogu must never play together for Nigeria. Rohr should try etebo, ndidi and Mikel that's our best bet. Etebo was king against Algeria in the first leg.

speed matter a lot bro in today's modern game. I can give multiple of examples of that. you just can have two slow midfielders with only one been technical.

I wholehearted disagree. Enyeama just saved a similar freekick in that same game, few minutes before the goal. The only mistake Enyeama made was positioning because he anticipated a change in Messi's freekick.

Height is not the most important attribute in Goalkeeping and goalkeepers will always concede goals.

Uzoho is a greenhorn still learning his craft. He is not even close to Enyeama's level. Let us not make the mistake ofputting him on a pedestal when he has achieved nothing.

blueto:
the slow Ogu has been doing very well. He performed very well in the games that he has featured so far in the WCQ against Algeria and friendlies against Senegal and Argentina (which another “slow” player played). So what is this nitpicking about? We saw how his pinpoint and incisive pass caused Mascherano to trip Iwobi which resulted to the first goal for Nigeria against Argentina and not to talk of his beautiful goal against Algeria. Abeg make una leave this guy. If he keeps performing well with his “slowness” then I don't see why he should not be starting games.

Mujtahida:

it was mikel that delivered the pass to iwobi not ogu

Mujtahida:

as if buffon and nueur have never conceded from freekicks. so if uzoho is put there now and he conceded from a low driven freekick we will now say what?

blueto:
My point was that he wouldn't have conceded some of kind of goals that Enyeama conceded in the world cup, although he may not have saved the kind of balls that Enyeama saved. And I'm not saying that he is already better than enyeama, he may still need to prove that in subsequent matches.

The other point I made also was that it will not be a very good idea to start Enyeama against the same Messi led Argentine team in the world who appears to be well apprised of his weakness(es).

Mujtahida:

hanhan. these days? haba na. you've been watching football for too long to say the bolded. wasnt johann cruyff, gerd muller, jean papin, ruud gullit, marco van basten, baggio, romario, stoichkov, george weah,ronaldo de lima, rivaldo, zidane, shevchenko etc all goal scorers? or roger milla, weah, ikpeba, rashidi, eabedi pele, rabar madjer, kalusha bwalya scoresrs of plenty goals? bros no fall hand abeg. the overwhelming majority of players who win these awards are goalscorers

blueto:
He saved the first one because it the wall jumped, and that might have given him the clue that the ball to was coming from that direction so he didn't hesitate to dive towards that way. But at Messi's second attempt, the wall did not jump or did not jump on time, so as a result he might have thought otherwise since he couldn't see the ball for himself due to his shortness.

Icon4s:


It is just a factor. Not the only factor.

Moses not playing in this year' s AFCON is a major negative for him.

You cannot be an African footballer of the year when you didn't take part in the AFCON while the other strong tenders did.

tbaba1234:
Tammy Abraham is looking very very poor.. We might have missed a bullet there.. or many Swansea are just bad.

BascoVanVeli:


I personally think it is a disgrace that those clowns at CAF should be ashamed of.

goldfish80:


It would have been daylight robbery if Moses was announced as the APOTY. I can say this before any Oracle.
