khunz: I only summarized the views of Ghanaian sport lovers.They believe the coach should focus on qualifying from the group first before medal talk,hence I said ' he won bronze' and not the black satellite as a team.
There is nothing to celebrate here. I don’t understand the Ghana hating. We’ve also had times we failed to qualify. They will come back to fight another day. Na now una suppose to dey argue Samu here and there.
khunz: Ghana U-20 coach shouting all over the media that he will come home with a medal,well he just won his group's BRONZE MEDAL!!!
Oya should Samu go or not?. At your mark, get set, goooo
Icon4s: This Paul Aigbogun's team plays direct kind of Football. Nigerians are used to their teams stringing passes together which is reason behind complains of lack of team passes. The team obviously has a lot to improve upon. The bumpy pitch is also a set back
Well, any which way is a Way.
Congratulations Nigeria!
At least we have another tournament to look forward to.
So Chief Joebie do we have the permission to discuss players to include in this team now?
You can only be tested if u are given a chance. I clamored for Uzoho getting as much minutes as possible in the friendlies leading to the WC. That was the best thing to do at that time. However, now we are not that pressured, is the time to do meaningful building which only comes with keeping our regulars at their toes by presenting them with meaningful competition. Since we are building for the future (according to Rohr), Ezenwa should be challenging Uzoho else someone else challenge him for the number 2 spot.
We will be back to square one in future when when we have another GK crisis. If Ezenwa is not good enough for Russia, he won’t be good enough for Qatar, should something happen to uzoho.
Icon4s: There is nothing like being biased here. I am saying it as it is. Uzoho and Alampasu as far as the national team is concerned are not on the same category. Uzoho is more tested and trusted in the national colors. And so if Uzoho's club's coach doesn't have trust in him Rohr does. And so he will get the nod. It appears Rohr doesn't have confidence in Alampasu. Had it been that Alampasu continues to get game time in his club and also doing great with it while Uzoho continues on the bench then Alampasu definitely has a case. Which is why I earlier said let us hope Alampasu secures that spot first before we start clamoring for the SE.
U call Ezenza old papa. The same old papa that has proven to be a credible back up goalie from our WCQ to our last AFCON game.
There is no cause for alarm in the goal keeping position please. Ezenwa and Akpeyi will be Gradually phased out when the time comes. Alampasu and other up coming young goalies should continue working hard. Their time will come.
What Rohr would do is not the crux of the matter. Be balanced in your approach. From what ubsaid earlier it follows that Uzoho’s coach doesn’t also have confidence in him. Uzoho’s position in the SE team is as a result the situation we found ourselves pre-WC. However, we need to be fair in giving players chances to boost competition. Even if Ezenwa wasn’t a first choice you would still find an excuse. I can equally make an excuse for Alampasu that he is still actively training with his club. I’m just trying to be balanced in my judgement. We all know even Akpeyi shood not be getting regular call ups just to be 3rd choice. Put a new face there who would present a new challenge. How can old papa Ezenwa be playing 2nd fiddle to Uzoho who is still learning his trade? We need to be serious in our quest for excellence.
Icon4s: Uzoho is more tested in the national colors and so will still get a call up. Ezenwa is number 1 goalie at Katsina united now and is getting game time and so is Akpeyi. So we invite all 3.
If you were a coach and you had to pick one player between Maja and Iheanacho to lead your attack, who will you pick?. Say the truth and shame Shaitan!.
Invite him? No. If he shows interest, that’s a different matter. We are just wishing because of our current predicament. If we are loaded with forwards better than Tammy there won’t be a conversation. Unfortunately KC is still making headlines here.
ChrisKels: The post you quoted clearly stated that it was oneirism, so why try to argue? U ended up reiterating my position though with a different phrase "wishful thinking". When a wishful thinking aint feasible, it is nothing but a reverie, a delusion. No serious fellow dwells in fantasies.
About ur first line, the particular post that brought about this argument said otherwise. Here it is;
