U've forgotten his goals qualified us for that WC. He was still our best striker as at prio to that WC.

tglobal:
Not inserting myself into the experience talk but the bolded got me. I may be wriong, but I dont remember Yakubu being someone who missed goals upon goals. He was always a great finisher and have also always thought his miss wasn't what cost us the game against Korea (which came when we were still behind). Rather, Obagoal's miss of a sitter when we were already level and needed just one more goal to qualify ultimately sealed our fate

Jefersoun:
Ok Sir, salute!. You know what? I just love this thread, so insightful

tbaba1234:
Akpeyi out injured.

Ezenwa has not played a competitive game in 2 months.

Alampasu is a rookie.

Alampasu is a rookie.

TheSuperNerd:
I seriously don't like this... He was reported fine and would require only a few days off.... But now this?? I don't like it.... So what now? Call akpeyi or run to enyeama coz Ezenwa or alampasu won't man the goal. Or can Ezenwa do it?

OFFICIAL: CARL IKEME OUT OF ALGERIA
WORLD CUP QUALIFIER


https://africanfootball.com/bp_images/2016/11/Samm_1_September_6.jpg




Injury has ruled out Nigeria goalkeeper Carl Ikeme
from an all-important World Cup qualifier at home
against Algeria later this month, officials said.

Ikeme, 30, was forced out of the English
Championship game at Blackburn Rovers at the
weekend due to a hip injury.


“Yes, he’s out of the Algeria match due to injury,”
said spokesman of the Nigeria Football Federation
(NFF), Ademola Olajire.


The player contacted the NFF to inform them of
the severity of his injury.

The official said they are now waiting on coach
Gernot Rohr to name a replacement for the
Wolverhampton Wanderers shot stopper.


Likely replacement would be Olympic team
goalkeeper Emmanuel Daniel or South Africa-
based Daniel Akpeyi, who also deputised for him
when he was unavailable for an AFCON clash in
Egypt in March due to a stomach problem.


This is a major blow for Nigeria as Ikeme has
established himself as the country’s No.1
goalkeeper since his brilliant debut in a 2017
AFCON qualifier in Tanzania in September 2015.


He was the man of the match after he made
several big saves for Nigeria to beat hosts Zambia
2-1 in Ndola last month in an opening World Cup
qualifier.

Ebuehi will still play for Nigeria. He is just sitting out one game. I hope he is not dismissed .

forgiveness:
I dey observe.

tbaba1234:
Not serious, he will be fine for the game. Just needs a few days off..

Icon4s:
The 170th goal will be scored against Algeria in Uyo by God's grace.

safarigirl:
big game for us then

100 WCQ games no be beans so those boys better bleed all over that field, if someone has to break bones for us to win, they better break it cuz this is easily one of the biggest games of their international careers. I won't mind seeing Omeruo with a bandaged head as long as the Algerians are kept out

TheSuperNerd:
Happy new month O jare....

The month where we beat the Fennecs/Desert foxes..... Cheers to all and may all things great, fantastic and super awesome come our way....
Cheers man... Cheers....

TheGoodJoe:

Sadiq played because our players clubs refused to release the likes of Iwobi, Iheanacho, Ndidi, Musa Mohammed, Ighalo etc.

phamarsenal:

WATFORD ANNOUNCE ISAAC SUCCESS OUT
OF WORLD CUP QUALIFIER VS ALGERIA

https://africanfootball.com/bp_images/2016/10/isaac_success.jpg



Watford have announced Nigeria striker Isaac
Success will miss next month’s World Cup
qualifier against Algeria due to injury.

The Watford star suffered a thigh injury in
Watford match against Middlesbrough and was
flown out to Barcelona alongside one of the
medical staff for treatment early this week.


He has been ruled out of Watford tie against Hull City this weekend and will also not be fit until after the international break.

Walter Mazzari the manager of Watford took to
Twitter Thursday evening to express his
disappointment about the unavailability of his star striker.


According to Mazzari, "Isaac Success being out for Hull game is the biggest disappointment since I realised it isn't Christmas today.”


Mazzari, who is unable to give timescale as
Success is ruled out, further said, "We'll be able
to be more precise after the international break.”

This shows that Success, who has yet to be
capped at full international level, will not be part
of Super Eagles squad against Algeria in Uyo
come November 12.

Injury also kept him out of another World Cup
clash in Zambia earlier this month.

Rohr looks like a father here

forgiveness:
Hmm! Was that match against Argentina or Greece?

I thought it was against Greece. He was replaced by Echiejile but after Echiejile came in, he also got injured and he was replaced with Afolabi.

That match was full of bad lucks.
