Super Eagles Afcon Prep in Garoua


1. The Lampard-esque MF marvel, Joseph Ayodele Oluwaseyi Aribo A potential tournament revelation if utilised right or even half right.

2. The Naija Robben, Samuel Chukwueze. This lad could deliver an MVP-worthy showing at the Afcon. Another highly crucial player for the team.

3. Tyronne Ebuehi. The Technically/tactically Balanced Fullback/Wingback.

4. Chidozie Awaziem. The Defender with the most accurate and finest passing range in the Super Eagles and a technically sound Rocksolid beast.

JohnBullMySon:
Maduka is good. Una no jus like am.

bazooka1:

I have watched football long enough to know a good goalkeeper when I see one. The boy haven't made any outstanding save in the national team while he conceeds cheap goals against Sierra Leone and Liberian home based players.
Maduka will be terribly exposed when he moves to Watford. He should have rejected that move if he had sense.

andrewbaba44:


Maduka is not that good but I am okay with him

If I can be okay with akpeyi then I can be okay with anybody

I will agree Maduka is good if he makes crucial saves this afcon ,something akpeyi did self

How many games have Maduka even been tested and makes crucial saves ?

People hardly hate on oyinbo players on this thread self ,so I won’t agree with you saying people don’t like Maduka ,there is nothing to hate about Maduka ,he is a very cool guy and dedicated to the eagles .

JohnBullMySon:
Which of the goals conceded against Sierra Leone was due to sloppiness? Ter Stegen conceded eight against Bayern, does it make him a poor keeper?

You should know that good keepers are not judged by conceded goals but by quality of saves. He made good saves against Tunisia, against Cape Verde and against CAR. He might not be an outstanding keeper yet, but here we judge him too brutally and yet make excuses for Uzoho. Pound for pound he is clearly better than Uzoho.

andrewbaba44:

Lol

Why you go say make Maduka reject the move

If you nor knack your girl at a particular time, and she come meet you say she carry belle at that particular time, is that not ojoro?

Timing bro. Timing. Thats the big deal here.

bazooka1:

Uzoho and Maduka are no talents. It is best Pesserio throw that position open and do proper scouting for talented goalkeepers across Nigeria and smaller leagues across board and bring them in and work on them.

COOL10:


It doesn't, but it definitely suggests it. Same way the Dennis case didn't prove any foul play but that didn't stop people from going all guns blazing, to criticize the hell out of Dennis.

But I don't expect that same energy now that Osimhen is involved.

bazooka1:

Maduka himself knows he's not good enough. He looks like an honest boy.

FIFApresident1:
This might not be the first time Afcon would be happening in January, but we can all confirm that this year's edition has attracted lots of controversies.

I personally think European teams will start avoiding African players in the next transfer windows and beyond, look at how big clubs are missing their important players when they needed them most, at the time the tittle race is becoming hotter.

The relegation threatened Metz are without Six important players, Liverpool are without 3 key players, Ditto with leicester, Crystal Palace, Arsenal.

In Spain, where they don't like African players, Villarreal, Sevilla, Mallorca would be loosing key players.

This might be the major reason why Pep Guardiola is not a fan of African born players, the pep side would be without Riyad Mahrez, his absence would not make any difference sha not because he's not important but because there are couples of players available to fill his void.
I wouldn't be surprised if coaches started following Pep's philosophy.

Nr let uzomedia see this post

safarigirl:


Maduka is good, "that good", is another level of measurement.

He is sha good enough for now. We will take him like that and see what happens during AFCON.

This is his first major tournament, we literally threw Uzoho into a World Cup situation as a greenhorn and he survived, we will see what Maduka does with AFCON.

I'm hoping this is the tournament he shuts people up, because dude gets a lot of flack for being attractive.

FIFApresident1:
Somewhere in Italy, Where 3 teams are fighting for the title, Ac milan are missing Kessie bennacer and Ballo Toure. Imagine loosing 2 key midfielders.

Koulibaly and Anguissa are missing in Napoli squad.

No problem for Inter milan.

SerVik:

We were here when Messi recovered from covid in less than 1week

safarigirl:


Somebody that won best player in his club last season knows he's not good enough?

Nah, you're just out here hating for no reason.

ChrisKels:


Musa has never had a good AfCon. He was woeful in 2013 with his blonde hair, still woeful in 2019, let's see how he does now.

safarigirl:


You must think the national team works like clubs do

Throw open position and do scouting, on whose dime and with whose time?

Please, stop bringing such ridiculous suggestions like this. Goalkeeper that is so great, they are playing in a third division club in Ikotun? Abeg abeg abeg.

andrewbaba44:


A lot of flack for being attractive

As I said on my post ,I am okay with him .

andrewbaba44:
Una don critisize Dennis finish ,oya transfer am to una star boy osimhen, oh I forgot star boy can do no wrong in the eyes of some of you

most of una hypocrisy no be here

The way I take defend Dennis Na the same way I go take defend victor ,None of this guys where at fault and osimhen no get any Covid ,he just have to comply with what Napoli wants and I won’t blame him for this at all

Know this and know peace .

safarigirl:


Go to Twitter and every 3 posts someone is either calling him a BooHooMan model, IG model or a Kupe boy, or talking about how light-skinned goalies can't keep.

I also participate in the occasional bashing of light-skinned folks, but some things you read and it's so unnecessary.

bazooka1:

The lack of proper scouting have kept us where we are. Keep asking at whose dime and time. I will surely remind you of this comment when jungle mature.

JohnBullMySon:
So you think a club will avoid a good player and leave him for another club because of a biannual tournament that they aren't sure of going yet. A tournament where 50% of the players will return after two weeks.

Short term injuries are even a bigger concern.

Samueltemi337:
he nor get covid because na you test am na

andrewbaba44:

Napoli has played a fast one on us just as many folks said here
Deal with that

andrewbaba44:

Who told you Spain don’t like African players

bazooka1:

Akpeyi at a point won the best player in his club. He is equally highly rate in South Africa. How good do you think he is as a goalkeeper?

ChrisKels:


Idíat!

You have been misled by dem clergies who lied to you that the traditional way of life is evil.

Lol! I don't knack jazz because I'm not evil, but I have ofor na ogu that fights my battles.
I will never wish a fellow man death, but if you wish me death, as long as you walk this Earth and you drink water. The earth will hunt you down, and the water you drink will become poison to you. That is just it. I believe in egbe belu... and whoever said we shall not live, shall take a leave before us to go find out what life looks like at the other side

FIFApresident1:

Yes, they don't like African players in Spain.
