Wow 😮 Oh my Goodness 😳 Amazing Wonder 🤩

I am speechless 😶 almost , we were given a very sad narrative that you had departed this world 🌎.

It's wonderful to know ☺️ it was not true.

I got the impression you were in Holland and always wondered which city .

It's great to have to back 🔙 your level 🎚️ headed 🗣️ and balanced ⚖️ approach to issues sorely missed.

Welcome back not sure what kept you away.

I just gradually stopped coming to nairaland all together. Nothing specific happened.

Earlier today, I was contacted by 2 people trying to confirm the rumor. If not for them, I would not have known about it.

elyte89:


Alhamdulillah Robil Alamin

Welcome back mate🥹🥹

Alhamdulillah.. Thanks

andrew444:


Welcome back sir

May you live long 🙏

Ameen

BascoVanVeli:


I didn't believe it but i also didn't have proof. Thank God u are alive and well.

BTW can we now agree Wolfsburg regret selling Osimhen

Basco, my guy..

TheSuperNerd:
I didn't join in the pity party. I guess I was the only one who silently kept the feeling of Tbaba being alive to myself.

Tbaba1234/Tbaba12345, you are welcome back after your long sabbatical. We still have GK crisis and you are partly to blame for denying us your services. 🤨

chrisooblog:
Omooo tbaba is this really you

Really ecstatic you're alive and well if it's really you.

It is me, I have logged in with my normal account. I had to reset the password.

JohnBullMySon:
This is interesting.

Please don't be offended. Can you log in the main account? Just to dispel any doubts anyone might have about your identity.

Ok sir

Joebie:
tbaba1234, na u be this?

No

Nwakali has been loaned out to a second division side. I think it is time to accept that he will not reach his 2015 potential

Fabuloski:

I am really excited by Ovie and Lookman inclusion. Other people on the list doesn't excit me that much. Oh my Bad, Tosin is a steal as well. He should partner Balogun in that defense. Super eagles still need more midfielders Abeg, Ovie is a welcome development.

Balogun and Jordan for me but that will not happen

forgiveness:



As at the time you made that comment, Alampasu was the third choice goalkeeper. That was early stage of the season.

Now, can you tell me why you never said anything about the inactivity of Okoye until now as you quickly did for Alampasu?

The same Okoye is on the bench while Alampasu is active. What do you have to say about this?

Alampasu was not active at that time. No games, not even reserve games.

Okoye was invited when he was active. He has become a feature of the team.

Okoye has played this season for B side so he is not inactive.

Both players are now in camp. The coach is playing the one that he trusts. I am not the one making the decision.

forgiveness:


Do you want me to expose you here?

You claimed him been second choice goalkeeper is not important except playing time.

There is nothing to expose. He was third choice and was not playing not even for the reserve team.

This is what i said: https://www.nairaland.com/3018619/super-eagles-thread-dawn-new/2918#65457016

forgiveness:


Nay, you said he didn't deserve to be called because he was not playing for the main team when he was even always on the bench on match days.

He was barely playing games. He was not even on the bench.

owbabs:
Ndidi alone would not have made much difference vs Algeria and Tunisia. The combination of Ndidi, Aribo and Osimhen would have been a slight improvement. The team is just in poor form at the moment for various reasons.

Ndidi Aribo and Osimhen would have made a big improvement.

The team suffered from lack of quality in the midfield and attack.

forgiveness:


Where you not the one criticizing Alampasu when he was playing in the U23 for his club?

I said he did not deserve an invite because he was not even playing for the under 23 at the time.

forgiveness:


Are you kidding with the bolded? You don't know anything but speak via sentiment and prejudice.

Ajayi is better as a CB. Rohr should do the needful.


If it was Alampasu that conceded that goal yesterday I am certainly sure tbaba1234 will come here and be talking about how he was out of position but behold his goalkeeper knowledge suddenly vamus because na em favourite. What prejudice.

Why are bringing my name into this? I have no problem with Alampasu.

Omeruo

Icon4s:


That was a potential penalty in the waiting. The attacker had the ball very much between his legs. Any harsh tackle, he goes down and a penalty.

He did not need a harsh tackle in that position to prevent the guy passing him

semid4lyfe:


He tried to avoid giving away a penalty

No excuse for him to allow the player to pass so easily.. That was too poor

Omeruo just gifted that goal.. so poor

solonnachi:


Ekong and Kalu already left camp. Hope it's not what we are thinking

They took permission to leave.

M7even:
Come the way this formation looks, I hope none of our players tested positive for covid

All negative

benji93:
Be careful. Held his own against Brazil? How many saves did he make against Brazil?

Does he have to make several saves to hold his own?

He dealt with everything that he had to deal with well.

fabyom:
Akpoguna has never been a CB. He is a right back. Get your facts right.

Ha!!

He has never??

His normal position is CB. He plays RWB for hoffeinheim but his default position is CB.

smartsmith0907:

okay sir
I was confused coz it was not on transfer market

Yes, he played games for them.

Oldboss:
which week when there was Eyimba gk wat about Osigwa

How many times have you watched Osigwe?

chrisooblog:
actually he was barely tested against the Brazilians.

no body is saying Okoye can't play for the SE the clamor is for fairness to be applied in respect of the other goalkeepers in camp. let us see with our korokoro eyes whether they are good or not.

He did what he had to do well against Brazil.

The coach is probably not confident about starting others for now.

smartsmith0907:


I went on all reputable football site and I didnt find a place where it was written he played for feirense u-23

Bascovanveli is correct. Alampasu played for the under 23 before he was released.

But. He also had a period of inactivity when he was not playing at all.

Danielnino00:


It wasn't a lie sir.. Maduka was indeed romancing the NFF social media pages... Screenshots of his comments where posted here long before your moniker surfaced here...

That could have been a key factor behind his call up.. as far as his stats are concerned,they aren't impressive....

Maduka was not invited because of social media activities. Rohr wanted to add depth to the goalkeeping area and Maduka was a young goalie playing regularly for fortuna under 23. He had already contacted Maduka the year before and Maduka indicated interest in playing for us.

Maduka is part of the team mainly due to the fact that our gk department is weak. He has done very well so far.

Let's not forget. He is just 21. Not football age 21. Proper 21. He can only get better.

smartsmith0907:
we're likely to play a 3-5-2 formation / 4-4-2 80% sure

3 5 2

okoye

akpo. balogun. Ajayi


Sanusi. Tijani. onyeka. ebuehi

iwobi

Musa. nacho

I don't think Tijani starts.

Edopesin:


hmm interesting

The way family and friends of players pop up on this thread when we're talking about our homegrown player ages though. Coincidence or?

I know the one about Ejuke is correct.. He is about 1 or 2 years older than he claims.

komekn:


I watched Sanusi with great Expectations a lot has been said about him here.

But he completely failed to live up to the billing, he is fast. But beyond that technically poor.

Maybe l expected too much, l did not see one good cross from him.

Lol, technically poor?

Keep watching.
