Arthur Okonkwo looks talented and to be honest much more talented than Uzoho and Okoye but he needs to play first team football not reserve league. Hopefully he goes on loan next season as Arsenal are getting a 2nd choice GK from MLS.

In the home front, I don't think Rohr was properly briefed on the goalkeeping potentials back in the league. Ezenwa at a point was 2nd choice for his club but top class for the Super Eagles. A top rated goalkeeper like Afelokai has been displaced by a young Sochima at Rivers Utd. That's the kind of potential we have in that position. What these guys truly need is exposure and proper conditioning.

Our Olympics and U20 teams have always had goalkeepers from home and they never failed us at any tournament with errors to the levels we have seen with Uzoho and Okoye.

Well said

We need to replace our GK trasiners

It's obvious they are not doing thir jobs

They are just colecting salary and egunje

It's their job to scout and recommend GKs to the Senior National Team

But no....sometimes it beats me why we can't just get rid of mediocre officials in all strata of the Nigerian Society

Icon4s:
I can't agree less. Especially at the knockout stages, a goal keeper can make so much difference. Look at the Burkinabe goalie, yesterday. He helped Burkina Faso secure that lead.

But the only shot directed at Okoye all tournament, he couldn't save

My fear from the start was in that goal keeping department. That goal changed the entire complexity of the game. The 4:4 draw against Sierra Leone in Benin and the goal we conceded against Cape Verde away really exposed Okoye's weaknesses but I guess the goal keeper trainers were blinded.

Francis Uzoho would more likely have saved that shot.

He won't

They are all unreliable

We don't have a good goalie...not sinc Ikeme and Enyeama

Icon4s:
They are the "indomitable Lions of CAMEROON". That is what they have been known for. They will not play good football for an entire tournament but they mostly get the job done. I see them like the Chelsea of African football

It is not just an issue of home advantage cos the previous 5 editions Cameroon won were not on home soil.

They know how to play tournaments especially in Africa. Like I had mentioned earlier, before the AFCON kicked off, as far as the AFCON is concerned I will always rate teams like Cameroon, [b]Nigeria [/b]and Egypt ahead of likes of Senegal, Ivory Coast, Algeria and Morocco, irrespective of the form any of these four teams is in.

The only team we thought could have challenged Cameroon in this AFCON was Nigeria. But we screwed up big time against Tunisia.

lollllll

When was the last time we got to the finals



Wonders shall never cease

It's shameful we are regarded as giant of Africa

Android22:
Someone actually watched this game and claimed the refs were favouring the warriors. Hahaha. They even claimed Steph was being favored.

When you support a poor team, you'll think like that

Especially if that team is the LA Lakers

I feel for the guy sha

BTW, Curry's shooting slump is becoming worrying at this point

He may be having problems in his marriage? This has to be psychological........

jihday:
you said African player now you talking about level, if you had mentioned level I for even no argue. There have been loads of African players who ended up playing for big clubs so your assertion is wrong, but I agree that Napoli owner will make it a bit difficult

Now you understand my point

They haven't even finished paying his transfer fee

I swear, Osimhen asking price may reach 160m

Mujtahida:
Roll in the mud. It's your place.

Cry some more



Fake scholar

jihday:
for number 1 you are correct but for number 2 you are not correct. You mean if salah is ready to leave Liverpool today, nobody will pay close to 100mill for him?

Osimhen is not Salah bro

He is not at that level yet. It remains to be seen if he will be at that level

But fine, if Juve or Bayern, Barca, Man City come for Osimhen, na celebration be that

I just stated an opinion even though far fetched. I am not in anyway wishing him evil

PetroDolla2020:
Thank you. Thankfully, football is played on the field, not with mouth. By the Grace of God, Ghana will not disappoint you both in Kumasi and Abuja. The battle is the Lord’s

Amen bros

Will disaapoint them and not me

Because I am not looking forward to the WC

PetroDolla2020:
The truth, as defined by a nigerian? abeg, park for one side. Africa needs better teams at the World Cup. We don’t need teams that will crash out after the first round

I am behind you jare

Nigerians need to face reality

Our football has reclined to the dark ages

If we are serious, we should even pull out on tourneys and focus on revamping our football

All this waste of tax payers money on flights feeding and hotels on boys wey dey collect weekly millions for Europe no follow

We are just wasting time and efforts

Beloved03:
And when Akpeyi commits another blunder against a Mahrez-Algerian last minute free kick, you will switch back to Okoye as your pick right?

Una never Sabi wetin una want.

That's how they behave on this thread

Don't mind them.

Can you imagine?? Akpeyi that they nearly skinned alive in 2019

Mujtahida:
I learnt from my days of cussing on Nairaland that when a person litters his comments with smileys, just know say the thing dey pain am for him bone. Go load your gun, be creative, not this overused line about transformer. This ya comeback too dry, troll.

Let the gates of tears open

And cry me blood. I need your blood-filled tears

Mujtahida:
You blow the sand into the wind and the wind blows it back at you

Fake scholar...how far na?

Still suffering from your PLSD - Post Loss Stress Disorder?

I heard a few bolts of electricity from a power source like a transformer will do the trick

So you know what to do

andrewbaba44:
My guy said good agent

What about gana gueye that was purchased at 30 from Everton ?

Same factor at work bro

PetroDolla2020:
Yiu can take it to the bank. The World Cup ticket is already in Ghana’s pocket. You Nigerians should stop wasting your time.

I support you

Me, I expect us not to qualify. When it happens, I won't be pained

PetroDolla2020:
Quit talking nonsense. Ghana team is in a mess? And your nigerian is better?

Yes, the Black Stars did not perform at afcon. But that is why we are taking measures to change things. We have identified what went wrong and we are taking measures to correct them. Is there anything wrong with that? Teams go through bad patches. It’s not peculiar to Ghana.

And you are talking as if Nigeria has such a fantastic team well, some of us don’t see the current nigerian team as been better than the Ghana team. That is my honest opinion. And the World Cup qualifier will prove that.

Bro, there's no need arguing with them

Naija and Ghana team are in the same level. It's blind patriotism that's making them oblivious to this fact

In fact, I tip Ghana to qualify ahead of Nigeria

mostob:
Barca,Madrid,Bayern are some of teams that are bigger than Napoli. Nothing bad if Osimhen plays for this team in future. It is understandable if your life is governed by dooms and and pessimism but don't drag anybody into it.

BTW you need a psychologist. Hope you're not married sha?

You need a psychotherapist yourself and an English tutor for adults since you don't understand simple logic

DrKlever:
I'm not doing this with you. Agent of darkness.

Don't start what you can't finish

Native Dr of kuvuki land

mostob:
'Napoli is the highest team Osimhen will ever played for'

You made this statement oga which is wrong in all ramifications. You're not airing any opinion neither were you stating a fact. You're simply predicting doom.

You're the unlearned one here.

How is it doom

Do you know how many players will kill to play for Napoli even just for a season

You're the one that is an illiterate

What if he wins UEFA champions league and Super cup with Napoli

I don't understand if you people refuse to reason or do so wrongly

andrewbaba44:
Wetin bring cavani come here ?

Cavani is a world class player

How come psg purchase chipo moting at 30 since you said they won’t get an African striker at that age ?

Chopo moting has a good agent. Can Osimhen's agent deliver such

Well, time will tell. Na here we dey look.

My advise to him is to keep his form and fitness at optimum level sha

You talk about some people's favorite player on this thead and it doesn't go down well with them, them go begin dey ejaculate nonsense

If I had said same thing about Smon Moses or Etebo now, you go see how everywhere go quiet

Hypocritical native Dr

Any unlearned native Dr that can't argue with facts but choose to trade insults with me, please I repeat, go and hug a transformer. I can send the locations of some near you if you send me your address.

andrewbaba44:
Forget European ooo ,just say dembele is young ,Lea he the European matter before I begin give you examples

Osimhen is young too

Okay, lol at cavani. He joined pag at 28yrs and I'm sure it's because he is Uruguayan. Psg won't hire an African striker at that age

It's the European bias

DrKlever:
Load of craps. I didn't insult you, i only wished you whatever you wish Osimhen. You can explain your context to my ancestors, i do not care to know. Stop being bitter and hateful. Favourite player indeed!!!

Ehn...if you don't like what I said, your eyes can choose to cry blood.

It's my opinion and I'll damn well air it. If you like, naked yourself, pour water on your body and go and hug a transformer within your reach

Native Dr

andrewbaba44:
You said 2 North African teams will make it to the semis ,I guess Egypt and Morocco will qualify together

I am sure you didn’t realize they will be playing against themselves tomorrow

No wahala

At least my Naija prediction came true...no unnecessary hyping of mediocre naija players here till further notice

andrewbaba44:
Now is he not making his best use of time at Napoli ?

It’s not his fault he has suffered some injuries

Dembele has been worst at Barca but trust me he will still play for another big club

Bro, Dembele na European

I am not saying all these because Osimhen is injured. It's the stark reality

Did you expect Thomas Partey to end up at Arsenal despite top calss and consistent performances at Athletico?

Answer me first

andrewbaba44:
Darkelf how far ?

You predicted with your full chest of that 2 North African teams will make it to the semi finals So what happened ?

I need your response

Last time I checked, Egypt and Morocco are not out

So, calm down

DrKlever:
you're just pathetic. I wish you same fold of misfortune you wish Osimhen. How can you be so bitter and full of hate in life. Get a life mister!!!

I just responded with my reasons to a monicker named starboytwo

Osimhen is my second most fav striker in the world after Lewandowski

But he is an African and asking price will be over 100m. Go and figure the rest yourself

And be intelligent to argue with facts instead of spewing insults. Genave like someone with exposure and not bush education

andrewbaba44:
This is not a good thing to say ,it’s normal not to rate a player ,but saying Napoli is the biggest team he will ever play for looks like hate and maybe jealousy

Maybe If Martin braiwaite was a Nigerian you would have said the biggest team he would ever play for will be Middlesbrough or leganes but he ended up at Barca ,what about ighalo ,or should we talk about mendy at Chelsea ?

You really need to calm down because you don’t know tomorrow

See my reasons in my response to starboytwo

I maintain my stance

If I were him, I would make the best use of my time in Napoli and maintain tip top shape and form

It's a hard and bitter pill to swallow but my points are valid

Napoli will rep his peak years

Sportilitica:
Ermmm seems like you are wishing him bad though because I see no reason whatsoever for you to say this

Nope. I am not In fact, he is my favorite SE player after Ndidi

See my response to starboytwo

Starboytwo:
hmmm, why did you say so? Any pointers? Despite not playing anything since, he is still Napoli highest goal scorer atm.

Thanks for asking

Number 1 - Napoli's asking price would be at leaset 100m

Number 2 : Teams in Europe tend to shy away from buying African players for such ridiculous amount

Number 3: Kalidou Koulibaly has been a World class Defender for many years now and hasn't left Napoli. Why? See Number 1 and Number 2

codemaniacs:
our wingers were playing in positions that didn't favor them for crossing due their favorite foot..

Simon is right footed and playing on the left side so if he wants to cross he has to move the ball to his right foot then cross with his right foot.

Chukwueze is left footed and playing on the right side so if he wants to cross he has to move the ball to his left foot then cross with his left foot..

that's why they seem terrible at crossing... apart from that, its also possible that Eguavoen didn't instruct them to cross since they are players that like to hold on to ball they have to be instructed to cross the ball.

apart from that again, Super Eagles didn't usually have players in the box to cross to..

the Cameroonian player that crossed is right footed and playing on the right side so he doesn't need to move the ball to his favorite foot since he is already on his favorite foot.

Ihenacho's goal against Egypt was from a Simon cross that Egypt didn't clear properly..

You're making some sense until this glaring lie

Ladumaa:
Win the scudetto Victor! Then Move to Liverpool for £150M

Dream on

Will never happen

Napoli is the biggest team osimhen will play for
