That German old man is quite upredictable

A very sad case for a talented goalkeeper, Now it is very save to say that villiage people top officials are fully working over night on his matter.

You mean such herorics saves can't even save him?

Not a big deal,definitely he wasn't in his plan but yesterday match can changed Rohr's mind(Rohr said we have another wonderful keeper) and if he can have a good game against Morocco then he nail it.

CHAN: Dele Ajiboye took Nigeria to CHAN final – Sudan’s Logarusic Hrvatsko


ByIroha Udoka -
February 1, 2018

The coach of Sudan, Logarusic Hrvatsko, says goalkeeper Dele Ajiboye singlehandedly took Nigeria to the final of African Nations Championship in Morocco.

Hrvatsko said Ajiboye was the man of the match because of his heroic performance between the sticks.

The home-based Eagles pipped the Falcons of Sudan 1-0 to reach the first ever final of the championship.

After the match, the Sudan coach said, “Ajiboye was the one that took them to the final. He gave to them a nice confidence and when the needed help in the goal, he was the one that helped.

“He played the game well and he is the man of the match for me. What I realised when he was coming was that he was a cool guy, though he looked a bit older.


“I say congratulations to the Nigerian team but you know sometimes in football, you don’t deserve to lose but you lose the game.

“While sometimes you don’t deserve to win but you win the game but today at the end Nigeria put the ball in the net to score and they defended well.

“But we were dangerous on the counter-attack but what is important for me with the Sudan national team is that they are showing progress and they are playing some nice football.

“Also now like I said before, the boys can compete against any country in Africa. Today we played against Nigeria and I think we produced a good game which is good for Africa.”

Nigeria will face Morocco in the final of the tournament on Sunday.

And Sir Joebie asked for four weeks even....... hehehehe

Scared of the Eagles they are, courage they lack.... Excuses, they give. Defeat, they try to avoid.... Ajiboye, they dread

Taking a second look at Ezenwa’s tackle that led to his injury. In the World Cup a two footed tackle without contact with the ball is a stone wall red card.
He could have been red carded injured and let down his team and country. Ezenwa has consistently made tackles/commitments with no intention of getting the ball just a crude tactic of distracting a player and preventing a goal. Against Cameroon at the qualifiers it caused us a needless penalty.
He will be calamitous if given a first team opportunity at the World Cup. It’s about time we considered other options.

TheSuperNerd:
I believe Okpotu deserves some credits despite my stand on him not being main Super Eagles Material.

Dude got two goals for us... crucial ones too.

And yesterday, he got the assist that played Gabriel in for the only goal against the Sudanese. He deserves some pats on the back no matter what.
I also think his role behind Gabriel was key to our win yesterday. Just as Sir Humility017 said on Okpotu being able to play good behind a striker.

In all, he is part and parcel of this history and he must be commended despite his flaws.

Don't let me vex for u oo.. Arevu for real!?

That extra week na just to make sure lol

TheSuperNerd:

TheSuperNerd:
Pardon me for asking if it was a joke because with you ehn.... pesin fit no know when you dey play or when you dey serious niii...

But You are right.... let me share the story here....


Gernot Rohr has described Dele Ajiboye as “wonderful”, but special SCORENigeria investigations have revealed that the Plateau United championship-winning goalkeeper is not in his plans for the World Cup.

Ajiboye kept Nigeria alive in Wednesday night’s semi-final against Sudan with several top-class saves when he replaced injured Ikechukwu Ezenwa


Rohr told SCORENigeria in Marrekesh: “We had a very good goalkeeper again, Ajiboye made a wonderful game and saved our team several times.

“I’m not surprised by Ajiboye because I know him, I have invited him to the Eagles and we also have two good goalkeeper trainers.”

However, despite Ajiboye’s heroics in Morocco he may not be on the 30-man provisional squad for Russia 2018, top team officials have informed SCORENigeria

“Ajiboye is not in Rohr’s plans for the World Cup,” the official told SCORENigeria

“Rohr has made up his mind and it does not look like he will change it no matter what happens here in Morocco.”

Further SCORENigeria investigations have revealed Francis
Uzoho has been installed as the country’s No 1 goalkeeper for the World Cup even though he has only played 45 minutes for Nigeria in a friendly against Argentina in November and he is no longer playing first-team football at Deportivo La Coruna.

That explained why Enrico Pionetti will shortly relocate to Spain to specially work with Uzoho.

Rohr’s scouts have also picked out another goalkeeper with Nigerian roots who plies his trade in Germany.

Rush of blood to the head. He does it all the time. Loves to rush out for no reason

oloriooko:
CHAN
Gabriel has been improving with every game unlike Okpotu who is static and probably getting worse

The mental capacity of most African players is quite limited and it shows how unscientific and crude making little or no progress.

Ajiboye kept Eagle's hopes alive with his goal bound saves and deserves to be on the plane to Russia considering our limited options in the goalkeeping area.

Oga its too fast of your verdict on Ajiboye going to Russia.

Noah of Hannover is he injured?

Yes unfortunately.. knee injury

Unlikely but he is supposedly still a teenager so there is a future.

Thumbs up to the Eagles team B for finally Elating me after a potential heart- attacking 90 minutes before claiming my Two hundred and forty thousand naira with extreme exhaustion this morning. A gamble which I took to after a convincing persuation from my dear punter friend.


My people, you need to see the way I vigorously ululated for close to half an hour after the final whistle.... to God be the glory. 100 to 240

Just watched the NGR ARG highlights again and with what I just saw,I must say that Idowu is a very good player. His positioning off the ball is amazing and his acceleration is something else. He had no business getting that ball Iheanacho lost yet he did and placed it in the bottom right corner. Totally classic. I would love to see him play in NGR colours again.

maidaboi:

If this is true then he's officially an injury prone player. A no no

. Lol,that match too dey sweet me jare. Anytime I wanna feel really good,I put it on. Besides it's been a while since I've seen any SE team play with such determination. But you're right,March will soon be here and we'll continue from where we stopped.

Mr Jigsaw are you implying we should ply the road of gambling with you. You should have known by now that gambling and it's promotion is outlawed as a topic of discussion on this thread.

tbaba1234:


Came back, played one game and picked up another injury

ehya I feel sad for him.

"we"? Well I in person can see the work on Yusuf in their style of play, but individual skill is what is lacking in some of the players.

Yusuf won't teach pros how to trap balls or shoot at goal, pros should know this already!

Clementoke:


Unfortunately, we ain't seeing the fruits in Salisu Yusuf nd Alloy Agu's life, rather their condition seem to be getting worse

Well I knew this since I started seeing Ezenwa in post and some saying he earned it on merit! I know you have also voiced out about him not being the best from the 3 names here (Ezenwa)

Kog45:
I think am the only moniker telling who care to listen that Ajiboye is better than Ezenwa and Akpeyi after watching him against Guinea in WAFU cup.

Please any news about (Uzoho, Idowu, Ighalo and onazi)

soetanoreoluwa:


You think so?

Yes I do

soetanoreoluwa:


Have always believe in Ajiboye just that the situation around him kept holding him down...
Like they always said you can't hide talent for so long

Yes, Alloy recommended the 3 of them to Rohr, I believe Rohr decided on who to use, so I would say it's partly Rohrs responsibility to pick who should mount the goal post since he sees them during warm up.
