Watch that Uzoho. He has that thing. For now I prefer him to Ezenwa. Shaky Shaky gk affects our backline especially Balogun. Let's see them in the friendlies though. 45 minutes each for both Uzoho and Ezenwa.
@all please guys watch this video on Facebook link to see what Uzoho might be getting compared to Ezenwa

People celebrate just qualifying for the WC more than winning continental cups.

Humility017:
oga don't you think same apply to Martins....if he is really a player so much quality....why is he doing in China?

safarigirl:

Fire on coachee!! Make everybody just dey underrate us like this, it will really help us

Please can I buy you a bottle of champagne or whatever your favourite drink is.

Mickael2:
I love this guy

TheGoodJoe:

I am not saying Martins is slow but use the term intensity. He has lost speed and is no more the speed demon of the past. However, the demand of the system we currently play rely more on constant running than a sprint of few yards.

The players need to press when the opposing side are building up play and track back to support the team when under attack, attack with pace when we are counter attacking. Not a slight on Martins but I doubt he can meet up with the intensity of our play.

Argentina is done and dusted but it shows the potential of our young players. As I said, the next top quality friendly will determined how prepared we are. We were not prepared in 2002. Playing top friendly games would have exposed the weakness of that team.

safarigirl:
what are you on about?

Which form is Martins in? Our next game is three months away, will he still be in form by then or is this another fantasy football team?

I hope this draw will help those who are still creating fantasy football teams realise that the real business has started and we cannot afford to be calling any random name at this time

March is three months away, so any player that wants to be a rave better save his best for January 2018.....


The likes of Dennis, Dessers, Kayode and Nwakeme should also lace up. There is one FW spot up for grabs and anybody can still nick it

TheGoodJoe:
Ebuehi and Idowu's inclusion and brilliant performance against Argentina put a big bomb into the experience talk. They blew such notion away.

We need the best players we have in every role. Experience will not give a player the speed and marking instinct of Ebuehi. It will not give a player the offensive instinct of Idowu.

We need quality, not experience.

tbaba1234:
Our local keepers lack fundamentals. We see that even experienced local keepers struggle with basics, positioning, claiming crosses,etc. Ezenwa and Akpeyi are experienced enough to have curbed out some errors.

Ezenwa appears to be a calmer influence but he still lacks Gk fundamentals.

These foreign kids start keeping from 8-10 years and they are taught most of the fundamentals. It does not mean, they will be great keepers.

Even if Okoye does not make the WC, he should join the crop of young players coming up.

tbaba1234:
Given that our current keepers are really not that good. We need to look for options. No one is saying Okoye should be first choice or that he should even make the WC team. He could just be one for the future.

Youth GKs abroad are often better grounded in the fundamentals of Goalkeeping than many experienced NPFL keepers.

Nigerian keepers often have to go abroad to reach their potential. Enyeama struggled a lot with crosses in his early years with Nigeria.

tbaba1234:
The call for Martins has been heard before. The last time under Keshi, he failed terribly to meet up to expectation when finally invited.

Happy the coach is looking at other GK options, would like to see what Okoye can do.

Taliban:
Gbam!!!! Besides the match fixing post , I honestly enjoy reading your posts man!!!!!

komekn:
100% agreement without question.

Let the truth be said currently Osimhem struggling to get on the bench in struggling side at the bottom level of the Bundesliga that narrowly escaped relegation. How many hours of first team football has he played in his entire career He is essentially a youth player with a potential yet to be realised.

Joebie:
My interpretation of Rohr’s response is this.
It’s either he is just being diplomatic. More like saying if Osimhen is still in my plans, then I have no excuse not to give a chance to any striker that is scoring,
or maybehe is really thinking Martins deserves a chance to be tried in this current SE. Either way, it’s a good sign. Competition is good.

BascoVanVeli:
That was not politics but a human rights issue.

Kog45:
Truly Zimbabwe and South Africa faced sanction but the issue in Libyan is not government related but individual forming rings to engage in illicit trading of human beings.In a situation like this you can't sanction the country.

Mujtahida:
Football stays away from politics and it's better that way. If your line is pursued now it won't be long before US will influence FIFA to ban Iran or Iraq or even Russia.

Kog45:
It's pure migration issue not football related issue.CAF can only condemned the situation just like normal organizations have been doing but coming in will be out of order.

Needs to talk to our brothers going through Libyan to migrate to Europe,better to go through Morocco than Libyan though is illegal route but still better than fallen into the hands of animalistic Libyans.

Hope Nigeria government responds quickly by liaise with Libyan government on the way out,just too saddened seen human beings subjected to terrible torture.

Oasis007:
Bro.... we should try to be objective when discussing Issues related to Nigerian Players, especially Iheanacho on this Thread. We are always too emotional and also look for flimsy Excuses to vindicate the dwindling Performance of the Lad.

Ndidi was signed in January, he walked straight into the Lineup and has never looked back till now. Imagine a Player signed in the Middle of the Season that still won an Award at the End of the Season?!

Is Iheanacho better or more experienced than Slimani?! No one is hating on Iheanacho, neither the Manager is playing Politics with his Exclusion from the Team's List.

Luke Shaw is an English Player, he was the most Expensive Teenager when he was signed by United, so do we say JM is playing Politics by not playing him?!

Until Eric Bailly is injured, he was a Starter while an English Man in Smalling was rotten on the Bench.

Pls..... we ain't helping Iheanacho by overhyping him or creating Excuses for his exclusion from the Lineup or the Team List. If he justifies to play, he's definitely gonna be played, and we shouldn't be regretting his Move away from City.

edi287:
He's using the "tough love" approach on Onyekuru. It could work or it could damage his confidence.
