Hmm,tested against Kenya in a friendly and ready for WC...my university coach discovered Vincent Enyeama,so I know much

Kog45:
Sir,I don't have energy for front and back argument...am sorry but fact, have been watching eagles as Green eagles as far back as 1980 and from 1983 am able to know more about what's going on in the field of play,just to tell you that I will never support your argument based on Nwabali club status or league....I followed the NPFL traveling watching the league....Pls who was the first choice between Dele Aiyenugba and Vincent Enyeama when they met in Enyimba?

Yes Ezenwa was not regular in NPFLwhen he kept against Cameroon

quickberry:
The only players that were part of both tournaments were:

1. Okocha
2. Kanu
3. Ike
4. Aghahowa
5. Babayaro
6. Udeze

So, how was it the commencement of the preparation for the world cup?

Even all the coaches were sacked

When I say you did not really watch the matches you are proving me right.

I disagree totally....Ezenwa was not even regular in NPFL he faced Cameroon during 2018 WC qualifiers...Enyeama a rookie in NPFL was in goal against good shooters Paul Scholes and David Beckham...yes Nwabali is messing up of late but the same Nwabali of Chippa was great during last Afcon.

I will only bench Nwabali now for his attitudes not cuz of Mbeumo or Aubameyang

quickberry:
The same goal keeper was there for us when your Maduka dey fumble. He was the best thing after bread and beans then🤣. You guys did not remember that he was at Chippa Utd at the last AFCON. We all know what we are doing😅😅

quickberry:
Not few times, it was his major weak point in his early days. It seems you did not watch him in his early days

Odunayaw:
E reach Ezenwa's turn now, double standard.

Talking about antics in the latest qualifiers is a sound argument but this one about his club or whatnot is mere gymnastics

I watched the match, Enyeama did well, but like I said it was a dead rubber game. If we had drew or won Sweden in the previous match, and needed a result against England, Ike Shorommu would have been in goal. That match was not a pressure cooker match, so no need to panic and England only needed a draw.

In any case Enyimba has already won the league in NPFL in 2002, so Enyeama was coming from a team with winning mentlity, not relegation fodders

quickberry:
They were not an elite team as at 2002. Stop this misinformation. Their rise actually started in 2002, but they were not already an elite team🙄

CapitalCee:
Fredricks is not a GK, he has a Defensive leaders in Bassey and Ola Aina who who plays in EPL to guide him. And he is only on loan in that team, he only made his debut recently so will definitely move back to his parent EPL club. Nwabali on the other hand got exposure nearly 2 years now, yet hr couldnt get a move to the top 4 teams in SA or even top African teams or Europe.

quickberry:
About 80% of the AFCON squad were not part of the world cup preparation.

quickberry:
Ndubuisi Egbo and Murphy Akanji were not part of the world cup preparation. It was Ike Shorunmu, Rotimi Sunday, Austin Ejide, Vincent Enyeama, Chijioke Ejiogu(the flying monkey) e.t.c

CapitalCee:
The Season Enyimba lost to Ismaily 6-1. The later top that group and met tge same Ismaily in the final and won the trophy and that didnt have anything to do with Enyeama or winning mentality. That Enyimba team with Enyeama is among the greatest if not the greatest team the Nigerian league has seen

quickberry:
Maybe, you watched another Super Eagles😂

CapitalCee:
Enyeama was a calm head and he has already won the league with Enyimba, you cant call him a nee bee.

The Ezenwa he was mentioning was one of the most experienced GKs in the league at that time and was a first choice for Ifeanyi Ubah FC, at thst time are plsying Confredration cup

quickberry:
It was Enyeama, in his early Super Eagles career. Do your research

quickberry:
Talking about winning mentality, Enyimba did not really have that as at 2002. Infact, they were beaten 7-1 in the CAF champions league, Enyeama had to feign injury after conceding four goals, Aiyenugba conceded the remaining three.

Note: My argument is, the club a goalkeeper is playing does not really determine how good he is.

Enyeama was fumbling with crosses in his early stage. He was always having problem dealing with crosses, he improved on it later.

CapitalCee:
For those of you cstigating me for being critical of Nwabali, you guys are just being emotions not realistic. The truth is that any top level manager will not play Nwabali as his first choice GK with his performance and attitude within the last year.

1. Against Lesotho in the penultimate game, players like Lookman, Osihmen, Ndidi and I think Moses knew we needed more goals and were playing to that target. But once we scored that penalty you see Osihmen going to pick the ball to quickly restart, but Nwabali was wasting time. Even when Akor scored the second goal you can see these players baying for another goal. Nwabali instead gave away a goal and almost gifted them the equaliser.

2. Versus Benin, at 2-0, Nwabali was not aware that we needed 4 goals. He was already delaying the game and showboating. Infact they had to send someone from the bench to warn him to stop wasting time at 3-0. He repeatwd this delay tactics in our home game against Rwanda when we scored.

MY CONCERNS: A footballer who is unware of the position of his team is very dangerous on international stage. Someone like nwabali may not have known the tiebraker rules and that might cost us at crucial stage. Now even if we do not necesarily need goals to progress. A home game agaisnt teams like Benin, Rwanda and co. 1-0 is never enough. Infact 1-0 versus these teams at home is a poor result normally for tthe SE. But when you hve a keeper from bottom based Chippa united, 1-0 is always enough.

3. In our game against Rwanda at home, Nwabali commited 3 red card offenses, and 2 penalty offences, unprovoked, in a FIFA organised match. Lol. In our game against Benin, he was harrasing a Benin player who just challenged for the ball and finally dropped the ball which based on the rule of the game it is a goal, in a match where the margin of error is very slim.
Like in this video in the unity cup when he commited an error, and also the error that led to the Lesotho goal, he was blaming others refusing to take responsibility.

MY CONCERNS: The attitude of violence agaisnt opponents need to be eradicated completely from the SE, Sani Kaita cost us in 2010 due to this. Nwabali is a ticking time bomb, he is always unaware of the situation and importance of occasions, he just acts out of place no matter the situation. And when the leader on the pitch Ndidi cautioned him on 3 ocxasions, in 3 different matches he disrespected Ndidi. We need to eradicate that attitude too.

Given all thses, he doesnt need to be the first choice.

this isn’t exactly true, South African league was not very good then but it wasn’t exactly inferior to ours, by 2002 Orlando pirates already won the CAF champions league while we were yet to have any

Cocony:
Once upon a time a certain Willy Okpara left the shores of Nigeria to become the Number One man at Orlando Pirates and was instrumental in the Club and by extension South African Club first African Triumph. You are on point my brother and that is why I still maintain he is subpar. That someone is subpar does not mean the person cannot improve or go to greener pastures

Amedino99:
the keeper from chippa united was quite sufficient in our afcon final run facing angola, south africa and cameroon. Why should gabon be the almighty exception now

Either this Nwabali goes to therapy or Chelle replaces him with Okoye for the time being. He's a ticking time bomb waiting to happen. I just pray that the day he finally blows up, it won't be during competitive games like the playoffs, AFCON, or in a World Cup game (if we make it).

quickberry:
Where was Enyeama as at 2002? He was at Enyimba, go and check his performance against England at Korea/Japan world cup.

BankyGee:
You got your wish. He held his ground 🔥🔥🔥🚒🚒🚒
