All the defenders you mentioned were simply not good enough.

Omeruo was never ever going to play for Chelsea at one stage they had him training with the U18's he was that lowly rated.

He had a stint in the Championship was essentially anonymous.The same goes for Awaziem. Ajayi ,Ekong players that have never been able to make the mark to.

Someone said Omeruo has been good for the SE , maybe or maybe not depending on what level of expectations you have for the SE.

For me he has been consistently below average with not one single attribute that makes him stand out. I remember him getting bullied by the Cameroon forward players in the AFCON and disgraced in the World cup.

Finally, Tosin Adarabioyo is better than all of them.

Omeruo was our best defender enroute winning the nations cup. He didn't put a foot wrong and basically acted as shield to Vincent Enyeama.
In 2019,he was also named in the Afcon team of the tournament by whosored and goal dot com.

Like it or not, belive it or not, Omeruo has been an incredible and dependeble player for Nigeria from U17 to Super Eagles. It's sad to see such a player being rubbished for whatever agenda.

Bringing up his time at Chelsea is very low of you. Was it not the same period Chelsea was renound for being talent killers. Young players like Salah, Debruyn weren't given chances by Mourinho and we're unceremoniously exited by the club.

As far as Afcon is concerned, Omeruo still have a role to play if we want to be successful in that competition.

Napoleon55:
I know u didn't quite understood what Chriskels was trying to convey in that post when u quoted him.

But should Awoniyi start over Boniface mainly because he plays in EPL,
or because he is better and more suited either to pair Osimhen or to lead the our attack?
I want to know what u think.

There's a mix-up somewhere. You're quoting the wrong person.

Amedino99:
It's not looking good at all

I tried to highlight this a few days ago with my discussion with Kog45.
That little triangle of the GK and 2 CBs is very weak and not championship worthy. It's just that simple.

charlesemeka85:
you must be crazy to call me a liar

Fool!

You must be blind and crazy

charlesemeka85:
Calvin bassey is good

Liar, he's been shit

chrisooblog:
I think we've kind of made peace with the fact that all the CB options we have are average at best, which is why we need decent midfield cover and an okay goalkeeper to help the defense out. The truth is if we are to have any chance of winning the AFCON then our attack will have to fire on all cylinders. The good news is the tools are there but will the coaches deploy the right tactics?

Unfortunately you can't do this in knockout football. You need to be disciplined and be prepared to suffer at times to see out crucial games.
You can't blitz every team 5-2 on your way to the final. It's childish to think that way.

Kog45:
The CBs are Semi Ajayi,Calvin Bassey,Kenneth Omeruo,Torunigba Jordan,Chiedozie Awaziem and Troost Ekong,so with these guys to pick from we are okay for Afcon

The world cup qualifiers is around the corner not just Afcon. Rohr qualified for tournaments with relative ease because of a settled backline, the Oyibo wall with Omeruo and Awazeim as the support cast.

The current guys needs a dominant figure to anchor around, I'm talking about Ajayi and Bassey who appear to be the favourite pairing by the coach. You look at the pair and you think something is just lacking. Tomori could have been that guy.

It seems we don't produce midfielders and defenders as much as we have attackers. Have they stopped talking to Tosin Adarabioyo? He has the right profile if you ask me.

Kog45:
Remo star vs Sporting Lagos today…pls update us on Nwoke and Bankole.

CC: BascoVanVeli

Who are the best centre back pairing for the Super Eagles right now? We seem to focus only on the GK at the moment but I feel we don't have a settled back line.

Most of the CBs are old and the new guys haven't really stamped their authority.

Awaziem seems to have faded away. Ifhe had progressed, he would have been a bridge between the old and new generation and ultimately the leader at the back.

Joebie:
This dude is supposedly in Lobi Stars. What's his form? The guy go don old sha

This guy was shoe in to become a hit for the Super Eagles and Enyeama's protégé if he was managed properly.
He lost 4yrs when he was deceived to move to South Africa. He never recovered thereafter. He should have been looked after better since he was a national team asset.

Please be serious 😭

Woman football is not on the level of professional youth football.

England womens team would be flogged blue and black by Liverpool U15 infact that too good.

Wimbledon U15 will.kick them off the pitch.

We are not talking about the team as a whole but the sum of its parts.
I've played basketball and even football with some exceptional girls and you won't feel any drop in quality. Atimes, we do forget they are girls.

Mercy Akide, Perpetual Nkwocha have said in interviews that used to play with guys. I've also watched Asisat Oshoala play against professional men players some years back in Lagos.

This Chiamaka Nnadozie you're seeing, I can bet you, she do play against guys often. These kind of girls do not enjoy playing with fellow women . That can only be the explanation for her top quality.

Come to naija, you will see alot of girls in better physical condition than you playing football against boys.

mostob:
Don't bank on it bro. The changes mentioned here may have nothing to do with Uzoho.

The last part of the sentence gives me hope

Kog45:
Pls Barry,are these super eagles back room staffs.

It appears so.

Uzoho is gone for good if this tweet is anything to go by. No ambiguity with the statement. Simple, straight forward, no frills.

dijon:
That chap has been giving our matches to the highest bidder, he has virtually been stuck in the backwaters of Europe, and with meagre salry that can't give him a good retirement cover....imagine his response to genuine criticism and you will understand my position about him.
He pawned us with that Partey goal and the Saudi goal.

I said it in an earlier post. He should be investigated for match fixing. I know betting syndicates target low profile players like him to play ball with.
We may be in for a shocker if there was an investigation.

Kog45:
Scout wey gave us poor goalkeepers we are still battling with….If Akpeyi No keep today na Ezenwa tomorrow and the next day na Uzoho and next the next was Maduka from regional league,credit to Balogun and Ekong who knew they always having mediocre in goal post….time for our CBs to raise their games or else next Afcon would be worst….Abi no be the same Saudi Arabia our brother Mali beat 3-1 and some they write stories on how our team is taking shape based on São Tomé,Saudi Arabia and 10 man Mozambique.

Oga Mostob make you no vex I don tire

Ezenwa seems to have retired. I would gladly take him over these lot we are parading. Bless him, he never made any high profile error when he played.
Thomas Partey wouldn't have scored that goal against Ezenwa , I can bet my house on that.

In addition the ten man Mozambique didn't even train before the game.
Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Benin and South Africa in our world cup grp are considerably better than Mozambique who are on the streets protesting a Nigerian-like kangaroo elections.

Tobichimezie:
Uzoho should have found a more fitting career, cause football definitely wasn't his calling.

He should be investigated for match fixing too. It's not making sense any longer.

Joebie:
make we convert that money to palliatives money, as e never reach many people

That's the best approach. The slot should be given to another country. Enough of the circus

Let's not waste tax payers money going to the Afcon if Uzoho is the person playing in goal.
Best we withdraw from the tournament and save hard earned dollars instead of fooling around in Abijan.

Cecco90:
As great as Aghahowa was in SE colours, Iheanacho has equalled his goal scoring record with the national team.
I might be wrong but sometimes I feel we overate this past SE players.
With all the so called exploits in the 1900s, what did they really achieve?

Julius Aghahowa was active for the Super Eagles between 2000-2007 (7yrs)
Iheanacho made his debut 2015 till date.. (8yrs)
Shouldn't be a surprise they are returned similar goals.

do4luv14:
See bro the problem is not about recycling them again,

Uzoho and Okoye, I see potential in Okoye more than Uzoho, Why not let the nff lias with their clubside, to appoint a sound goalkeeper trainer for them, to be having private practice after match day,

Okoye had shown he can do it, thing is his ill Advices move to Watford,

lemme ask you, and pls be sincere, between 2choice on Italy and Cypois (abi as dem dey spell am again Biko 🤣🤣) Who would you pick

They both are bad goalkeepers. You can't make a case for one over another. Look at Maduka Okoye you're trying to defend.
Watch from 0:47 seconds

It's like a battle of drunkards between these two guys.

Mujtahida:
Chiamaka is the best female goalie in Africa if not the world. She's so good. In our match against England, after England player pounced on a defender's failure to clear a back pass, the way Chiamaka sprang like Amalinze the Cat ehn. She's so sharp. Not blunt hands like Uzoho and Okoye.

Uzoho go dunk ball enter our net like prime LeBron James. Chai

Australia and Canada would have beaten the Falcons if Uzoho played ahead of Nnadozie in those games.

Infact, with Uzoho in goal, we will get out of the Afcon group due to our relative superiority over Guinea. But you see that round of 16? I fancy us getting knocked out. Jose Peseiro will loose his job and the next manager will come on board and recycle uzoho and Okoye again.
It's like juju

Unlimited22:
Why not even try to give people like Noah Atubolu and Arthur Okonkwo a chance?

Arthur Okonkwo could be a low hanging fruit. His career progression could be sparked to the next level if he becomes Super Eagles goalkeeper.

As it stands, uzoho and Okoye cannot make the Super Falcons team!
True to God, Chiamaka Nnadozie and Tochukwu Oluehi are better than these boys and I'm not trolling.

Over the years, these meaningless friendlies should have been used to try goalkeepers from the league.

There was a Super 6 tournament some months ago, you can't seriously tell me that not one goalkeeper is better than Uzoho. Something must be wrong with anybody who says that.

There is Stanley Nwabili at Chippa. He was one of the best while at Lobi Stars. He has something like 5 cleans sheets in 9 games in South Africa, Why can't they look his way?

This fixation on uzoho is just because he was at some point 3rd choice at Deportivo lacarona. If he had started from Abia Warriors he won't be here.

MetalJigsaw:
I tell you. We shockingly got knocked out in the last AFCON and missed the last WC for this same reason.

We might get to pay for our extremely weak Goalkeeper department yet again in this AFCON, and even the WC qualifiers.

I am pretty sure that there are decent GKs in our NPL.

It's a folly on our part and says alot about our laziness as a country that since 2018 our goalkeeping options have not deepened beyond Uzoho and Okoye.
Just because we've not had a breakaway foreign born goalkeeper,that position have remained stagnant.
Maybe they should look at Stanley Nwabili of chippa Utd. He appears to be in good form.
