Nay...he is far from being a good captain !
Vincent Enyama or Mikel would have been a preferred choice.

Yobo dont have what it takes to be a good captain. He does not command respect in the team. I dont even know the difference between him and the Newbies in the team. When he does not even a grip of himself, how do you expect him to have control of others on the pitch. undecided

You guys should stop all these trash. Even ferdinand of manutd makes mistake. Yobo is the best defender we've whether we like it or not. Fone: he made errors in d beginning of the first game, he later played well. And he didn't cause d goal. The goal just came.

Yobo is a good captain.

you all beefed him when he said the truth,and the coach dropped him. Hopefully he could hav completed the game wit goals. At least if YOBO or ZOBO fails in defence,he wud compensat d team wit a victorious goal.im talkin of OSAZE.

Player like Yobo is either boot licking Kehi for him to be in the national squad or using Juju on the coach cause it beats my Imagination how Yobo can be in our national team not to talk of being the captain. Most of the rookies even played better and exhibited much confidence than him. cool

For a player to be a good captain,he must first be a gud footballer.yobo is niether a good footballer nor a good captain.I said dis more than 5yrs ago "untill yobo stops playing for eagles,I will never support the wholeheartedly
Re: Is Joseph Yobo a good Captain by stagger: 10:52am On Jan 25, 2013
Yobo's best days was as a righ-back, not a central defender. The central defence is not for error-prone defenders like Yobo.

How can I forget that header to a Greek striker in our 6 yard box in SA 2010? Rubbish!

IdioTas!!! see how you guys are abusing ya captain when they have a crucial game at hand today. do u want them to fail? dont you know the walls have ears. my best advice now for you guys is to wish them well. kapish
Re: Is Joseph Yobo a good Captain by Ichel: 10:52am On Jan 25, 2013
executinal: And here they come again. So you expect Yobo to dominate in defence because he is the only one there right? Ok if you did watch the game you see that those boys backing YOBO up lack confidence and always put Yobo in much pressure.

Echijile or whatever he is called never perform to my expectation. Once he formbles it will still fall back to Yobo, and because Yobo is magician to play all round abi?

The guy called [b]*Obobona* [/b]was another scum, a player trying to defend his last chance just end up trapping ball for the opponent and the blame should also go for Yobo abi?
u r mouthed, hey wait a minute, am i seein wright Sumbody hit me on d head ple, did u jst mention Obobona?, wat was dat? u called him scum, na back of telly wey u watch jhoor

i have said it times wivout nums, yobo is just ckaptain becos of d naija factor, highest number of kapz nominates people for kaptaincy instead of efficiency, Enyeama shud be the kaptain, yobo cnt ginja, enyeama does most of tha shoutin, evn in tha last match he was awkward,,, mikel was the one chancin, yobo lacks convidence and i dislyk 4 that!
Re: Is Joseph Yobo a good Captain by shadrach77: 10:55am On Jan 25, 2013
What people do not understand about leadership/captaincy is that it has nothing to do with longevity,age or popularity. It is an inborn ability. Yobo used to be a very good defender back in the days. But making him the captain has added extra pressure which in contributing to the decline in his game. Normally defenders are natural captaiins but the fact that as a defender, he cannot organise the defence nor take charge, says a lot about his leadership abilities. Shittu would have been a very good captain but he is not a regular in the team as of now. Apart from him, there is no natural leader in the team. Someone who is a natural leader does not need the armband to take charge whenever the situation calls for it. Yobo is an ill wind that wouldn't blow the eagles any good smiley smiley smiley wink sad angry

Re: Is Joseph Yobo a good Captain by honeric01(m): 11:10am On Jan 25, 2013
pro01: One needs to be a good player first before he can be a 'good' captain. Yobo is neither. The guy is an embarrassment - and that is putting it mildly. Always fidgety, disorganised, and prone to school-boy errors. Of course the other players notice these defects, and so they can hardly derive any inspiration from him as the captain. Too bad.

I guess Mikel is the most qualified player to serve as captain. He is more reliable, and is extremely exposed and experienced - being a regular player at a top (Champions League winning) club like Chelsea. I also believe that the captaincy could bring out the best in him as a central midfielder and motivating influence for the other players.

Like an old horse, Yobo should be spared further misery and sent to the knacker's yard after this AFCON.

When he was saving your people's azz and helping you win some crucial matches, none of you saw those period, now that he's struggling, you're acting as if he's been this way all the time. Nigerians and their small minds.
Re: Is Joseph Yobo a good Captain by dominique(f): 11:10am On Jan 25, 2013
The ref kept dashing your players mtn cards, you stood back did nothing. blew for an handball that wasn't even close to one. na so you siddon look, then finally gave your player a red for an offense that wasn't even a bookable one. Good captain indeed! Don't let me get started on the costly mistakes he made on the pitch.
