Your the one who has failed to grasp a simple point. I did not say play a rookie. I said play the best in camp. How many times do I have to say a simple point as that for you to understand? Play the best in camp.

TheGoodJoe:

What are you talking? Please, before Pellegrini released his list for the preseason games, he was in camp with a lot of players. He made his final list. One player that was dropped was Devante Cole, Andy Cole's son.

Stop twisting your point. You clearly talked of Bellerin playing in Emirates Cup. I pointed to you that Wenger knew he was quality before you saw Bellerin in those games.

Do not jump around the point to slow the thread's momentum.

TheGoodJoe:

Preseason games, the matches are not a training camp. They are football games. The training happens before the game. Pellegrini called Iheanacho and C. Nwakali to go for the preseason tour after camping and training.

safarigirl:
he's a goalie, not an outfield player.

Give me players in the Israeli league who are internationals for their country, or in the SA league....

The rules that apply to outfield players do not apply to goalies, especially when they are no older than 20 years of age AND African

TheGoodJoe:

Not bad preseason but performance in camp. The coaches knew Iheanacho was quality in camp, not preseason.

TheGoodJoe:
Let Akpeyi show he is capable of handling the pressure in camp. Not history of games. Let him Outshine the others.

TheGoodJoe:

That is what you knew. Not what the coaches knew. The coaches worked for days, months, some years on the training pitches with this young players, getting them ready. Teaching them different aspects of the game and nurturing them into quality players. The coaches correct their mistakes on the pitch.

When they feel these players are ready, they play them and people, that is a star in the making. Not the coach.

Pellegrini knew he had a star in Iheanacho, long before his game against Kansas. It was already a big move when he invited Iheanacho and Chidi Nwakali to train with the first team. Then he selected them as promising stars for the preseason.

TheGoodJoe:

I am not seeing anything. I said, the coaches if the Super Eagles should drill and select the best. What I do not understand is why your breaking your fingers to prove Alampasu is not a good keeper. If he is as poor as you make him, the other keepers should easily Outshine Alampasu.

If they can not outshine him, you want us to man our post with a keeper worse than how poor you paint Alampasu.

TheGoodJoe:

Are you talking of a player selling themselves in the preseason or a player becoming experienced in preseason. If it is the later, preseason games is never enough to tag a player experienced.

Please, players sell themselves in training, not preseason games.

TheGoodJoe:

Preseason? That is now a criteria for experience.

BascoVanVeli:
but Dele has also had a full season in Portugal. He was a second choice but decided to go play football, we can't punish him for doing the right thing. The other 2 have one meaningful start between then so whoever starts will basically be thrown in. There is no easy decision to be made here we will be taking a gamble with anyone of them so why not start them on equal note. Just don't write Dele off so soon.

safarigirl:
....but Alampasu is already playing club football

TheGoodJoe:


Now you get me. Experience to me does not count. Current form counts. Iheanacho lacks experience among our top strikers but he is one of the best in Europe.

Better over Experience.

Who is the best? Decide that in training.

De Gea was impressing but he was not better than Cassilas and Reina.

Unlike what we have in our team now. Our current keepers are not top quality. Let them fight for the Jersey. Prove who is the best in training.

TheGoodJoe:

If we had Pepe Reina and Cassilas in our squad, would we have this debate?

TheGoodJoe:

I guess you want us to believe De Gea played at a high level before he made his debut for Atletico Madrid at 18. Please. This is not about tagging. It is about the coach given the best performer in camp a Starting position. Not just about Alampasu. I wonder how many times I have to repeat the same thing.

TheGoodJoe:
If he does not Outshine them and he sits on the bench, that is absolutely fine with me. Let the best in camp keep.

Let the best in camp keeps.

Icon4s:
Alampasu cannot start that game.

It is either Ezenwa or Akpeyi.
Alampasu was just included in the team to train with the goalies and gather some more experience.

Rohr said it that his third choice goalie has to be a much younger person. For the Tanzania and Zambia games it was Emmanuel Daniel.

Even if Ezenwa and Akpeyi are ruled of the Algeria clash due to what soever reason, Alampasu will still not be in goal.
For one, Emmanuel Daniel is even ahead of Alampasu. There are other good goalies in the NPFL like Femi Thomas, Theophilus Afelokhai.

I know it is only one person hear that could have mention Dele Ayenugba.

TheGoodJoe:

Your just running in circles with your argument. I agree the others are experienced. They should show their experience in training and Outshine the rookie. My money is not on experience or rookie. My money is on whoever stands out among the three in training.

If it is the rookie, then he is the best choice. Simple.

BascoVanVeli:
It's 3rd.

FC Cesarense currently plays in the Terceira Divisão Série B which is the fourth tier of Portuguese football . The club was founded in 1932 and they play their home matches at the Estádio Mergulhão in Cesar ,
Oliveira de Azeméis .

TheGoodJoe:

My point is clear as daylight. You are just trying to bend the truth. I want the best keeper in training to keep that day.

tbaba1234:
Akpeyi was shaky all game.. Seth was not aware of his surroundings, that was what caused the goal.

Ekong had a blinder, we would have been pummeled without him.

TheGoodJoe:

You gats to be kidding me. After all I wrote, all you could come out with is interpretation. Please, my point never changed. May the best keeper in camp keep for us.

tbaba1234:
The first goal was from Seth and Madu position not Ekong... Ekong played on the right half of the defense... Madu was out of position.Seth did not cover.

tbaba1234:
Not true, Some players were worse than others.

Ekong was the best player on the pitch, He played two positions that day. Mikel also played pretty well

Players that flopped were Seth, Madu, Sodiq, Akpeyi, Ndifreke.

TheGoodJoe:

See me see trouble. Where did I say I know Alampasu will Outshine Akpeyi?

I said, the best in camp should keep. Simple. If Akpeyi is best in Camp, let him keep. If Ezenwa is best in camp, let him keep. If it is Alampasu, let him keep.

TheGoodJoe:

So why did the last minute call-up not make Akpeyi become the number one choice? Emma Daniel was the better keeper. If Enyeama showed that camp, Emma Daniel will pull gloves and ask Enyeama if he wants his clothes and boxers.
It is not experience but talent. People mistake it. Talent rules.
And I said Olympics preparation, not qualifiers.
You want Rohr to Chain Alampasu to prevent Alampasu out shining the experience fellas.

tbaba1234:
Akpeyi was atrocious in the only Olympic game he played. In my opinion, Siasia should have used another young keeper like Alampasu for experience sake. That invitation to Akpeyi was wasted.

Mickael2:
you need to be watching this match to understand how correct your statement is. he is literally the only one leading their lines, he is marking alone and playing alone, he has already committed two Roma defenders and one of them came out with a yellow card, the other was lucky not to lose possession in a dangerous area. the boy is good and he has the strength and he can beat his marker unlike Ighalo and Ideye

Mickael2:
olarewanju Kayode has just scored and against Roma too, beats me why he was invited, hopefully he gets a look in next year

TheGoodJoe:

It seems you did not follow the Olympics preparation. If Akpeyi was such a mentor, Emma Daniel would have sat on the bench to learn. Instead the experience Akpeyi was on the bench.

If Alampasu outshines Akpeyi in camp, then he should look for a better mentor. Not Akpeyi.

TheGoodJoe:

I beg you, Alampasu should look at the likes of Buffon, Cassilas and Manuel Neuer, not Akpeyi.

I repeat, if that Champions League experience is the Baba, then he should easily Outshine Alampasu. If Alampasu Outshines him, then that Champions League experience means nothing.

TheGoodJoe:

So Akpeyi who is a Champions League regular, (LOLS), should easily Outshine Alampasu in camp. If not, what is the need of the Champions League experience?
