Ezenwa is not far better than Ajiboye. You are just emotional after the loss. They are in the same league.
Ow, Ezenwa is not far better. Meaning he is better.


I thought a few days ago you said Ajiboye was better.

This is what happens when you conclude from just one game.

AIG07:
Against Sudan everybody was singing Ajiboye's name. He did try by bringing us to the final.

Ezenwa may have his own lapses but he is far better than the lots.

Ajiboye lacks simple AWARENESS. He can't even spot the run and positions of opponents in his front. He contributed to 2 of those goals.

No wonder Rohr said he is not in his plan. Rohr has Insight. Ajiboye is not SEs quality.
Keepers are not screened only from training pitches where the atmosphere is a relaxed one.

The real match day Scenarios remains the best.

Joebie:
No be only Uzoho na. My point is Uzoho will need enough of those high profile games.
Now, just imagine if that Sudan game was the only one Ajiboye kept goal.

What would have been the feeling tonight if Ezenwa was the one that conceded those 4goals.

Ajiboye had his own test today.

I am still my humble self. I don't trust any player that is not tested.

Uzoho must be given full 90mins in the game against Serbia.

Yes. This is even worse than that WAFU cup
This is the only real opposition we faced all tournament.
We were celebrating our goalkeepers against lowly Angola and Sudan.

What happened to Ezenwa at the Wafu cup final is now happening to Ajiboye.... Really sad. cry



Makes the decision easier for Rohr shaa.... He will focus on Uzoho, Alampasu, Okoye and one keeper from this Chan team likely to be Ezenwa....
You mentioned the 3 Rookies first.

Hmmm I dey laugh o.(In Obj's voice)

That was how Amuneke ignored the then 19years old Steven Odey.

I don't like this pitch.
It is not allowing for free flow of football.
This is where Raja Casablanca plays.

Chaaiiiii... Eneji the baller! Skinned that defender on the left before squaring for Gabriel who was blocked and marked out by a defender... Chance for Nigeria gone. Was a counter attack.
If Enegi no play the next Flying Eagles.

How come you skipped the body of my post dedicated to Ondoa? wink
The AFCON is not of the same standard as the WC. I would far less be worried if any of Ezenwa, Uzoho or Ajiboye mounts goal at the AFCON.

Same way Pele was a teen with little or no national team experience before he stunned the world... wink

Even Iheanacho walked into the Super Eagles with little experience and showed what stuff he was made up.
Same with Iwobi all before further experience was garnered.

I look at the talent and quality of a player that belies age and experience... Uzoho seems to have that going for him. This is what informs my confidence.

I believe that "sometimes", Precociousness trumps experience and also shatters the walls of league class.

Ondoa is an example. Cameroun didn't turn to Kameni but to Ondoa not getting any games in the Spanish Segunda for about 9months or so before the Afcon. His parent club then, Gimnastic Tarragona loaned him to Sevilla atletico aka Sevilla B. He was at Sevilla B and still was not being considered but Tue national team rated him highly and his obvious talents could not be denied. He was better than even Onana of Ajax. Ondoa is an example to look at.

So Chief... Yes... It beats logic but I have seen that logic thrown to the bins before. Uzoho has got immense talent and is highly rated even in Spain by the Deportivo coaches and then by Rohr. That should tell you Something.
We are talking about a Goalkeeper's position you are talking about Pele.

TheSuperNerd:
Yes and "men" is not measured by age but by ability and willingness to act in the capacity of "men".

Chief Icon4s.... If we go by this " men" talk, then the likes of Iwobi, Iheanacho, Ndidi and even Awaziem will be considered neonates despite their precocious talents. These are young lads that play like men when in the GWG and if Uzoho can play like that, then I have no problem with him being no.1

The WC is for men, yes but also for "boys" with the heart of men.... These boys will be exceptional talents no doubt with the heart to fight in their national colors. Examples of such "boys" who acted like men include 17 yrs old Pele (1958), 20 yrs old Thomas Muller (2010), Franz Beckanbauer at age 21 (1966), Samuel Eto'o at age 17 (1998), Etc....

In all, we hope for the best but I have no real fears about Uzoho and I trust Rohr knows what he is doing as he sees through the eyes of experience combined with Insight.
All those players you mentioned: Ndidi, Iwobi, Iheanacho, Awaziem are up there with the men.

They are all senior "Team A" players with a minimum of 3 seasons of top flight football in there bags.

How you would be comfortable making a teenager in a B team first choice to a WC and you will feel comfortable beats me hollow.

Mind you we are going to the WC as underdogs and you know what that means.

It was clearly stated that Alampasu did not come to camp due to Logistics. Not me. I criticized it openly here and said it was a case of underhand dealing. Bring Alampasu along the likes of Ezenwa and Uzoho. Screen and select the best. Until then, it reeks bias and sentiments.
Hahaha, meaning Ajiboye would not have been invited if not for the hitch in logistics?
