Mujtahida:
Not sure this is meant for me. However let me say that I have never been good with numbers and when I started watching football the only stats that we had on our minds were the goals and quite later on the prize of a player. So making the switch to follow stats that look at tackles, passes, blocks, interceptions etc as is the norm today is difficult for me. I no kukuma like numbers.

TheSuperNerd:
Yes... it should have been Ogu for Mikel against Cameroun in Yaounde and not Agu bcoa of Ogu's ball holding/retention abilities but all the same sha... I wanna believe Rohr has taken note. And Ogu is in line for his world cup debut for Nigeria. I see him making the final squad this time but not as a starter.

He is a quality back-up to have on the bench and that is the kind of bench I speak of. A bench that oozes quality.

Mujtahida:
Ogbeche wasn't lack of service. He just wasn't good enough. How did he fare afterwards both for club and country?

TheSuperNerd:
Yes you are spot on on Rohr's conditions... and believe me I am sure Enyeama has no problem with Mikel as captain. In fact I can tell you on good authority that part of his problem with Oliseh was how Bypassed Mikel to Musa even when he (Oliseh) decided to strip him of the captainship.

And on Recovery, clips from Enyeama's twitter handles of recent and the past weeks will tell you he is on his way to a fine recovery and should be fit before January even.


Finally on Getting a new team and getting game time... now this is where we cannot say with 100% certainty what will happen, but I trust that Enyeama will get a decent team in a decent or top league and get some good gametime on the back of his own reputation as Africa's Finest till now. Time will tell shaa...

TheGoodJoe:
It is hard because I foresee us parking the bus against Zambia. It disturbs my heart because I know we have the right blend of talents to blow Zambia. However, we will tuck our legs and maybe win with a narrow margin or draw.

With a more offensive set-up, that is how we can go far in the game. I know Rohr does not want to risk losing the points he gathered but Yaounde was the best place to light the dynamite.

This is truly a special set we have now but we can not wait for the foreign clubs to build them for us. We need our junior teams playing Friendlies. We need to have a team B of the Super Eagles playing. We need to monitor them and get the best blend.

We also need an offensive strategy and get the best players in the Super Eagles. That is how we can make a monumental impact.

TheGoodJoe:
Oga Boss Icon4s, your attention is needed.

TheSuperNerd:
Enyeama will return. There is no two ways about it. He will return. He is still Africa's most elite Goalie in the game today. He is still Africa's Finest... and the only World class Goalie we have. I can also personally label Carl Ikeme world class but fact is, he is more of near world class...

Ezenwa and Ajiboye are good quality backups and among the best from the local scene but are not world class goalies. At least not yet...

The next line of goalies who I rate to be possible candidates for world class status between the sticks are Alampasu (when we beat Zambia, I want him between the sticks against Algeria in that last game), Nwokolor and Uzoho.... one or two others may still rise... but this is it for now.

Emma Daniel is good too but I rate the three above higher right now based on "potential".... but Emma did great at Rio 2016... this is why with him and the other two in Ezenwa and Ajiboye and the three musketeers in Alamapasu, Nwokolor and Uzoho.... I really don't see the need for Akpeyi apart from the use of the "Experience card" again...

Experience is good and cannot be thrown out the window but again it is not the ultimate. Rohr knew this and went with Ezenwa against Cameroun when he could have easily ran off to Israel and recalled Aiyenugba....

Icon4s:
What are our chances like in getting this lad?

TheSuperNerd:
Haba!!!! Even Cyriel Dessers don't want to be left out....


Ehmmm.. Yara Yara plsss call in Dr Dog... let him get across to Rohr... Nigerians just dey scatter show for Europe today.... haba!

BascoVanVeli:
It is not an earth shattering loss because we have good cover in that position with Ariwa. As a defender I rate Ariwa higher but Stephen's height always seems like it would come in handy.

BascoVanVeli:
The boy keeps on proving me right. I knew it would be just a matter of time until he came good in Europe. Now who is to say that he won't get his shot at Liverpool?

Danielnino00:
That's what I'm saying sir.. LMC are trying but all hands should be on deck..
The club owners their management, the referees,and even the fans have their part to play...

And pls don't misunderstand my post .I never assumed that nothing goof has come from the NPFL. Far from it... This country is blessed with talent in all fields. we just need the right management to harness it...

soetanoreoluwa:
You like play sha...

forgiveness:
Thank God say no be you be coach.

AIG07:
I no like to de see this guy start for im club anytime eagles get important match to play.

BascoVanVeli:
Kayode just created a must score opportunity that was wasted.

Humility017:
bro forget it ..

after the full bread English...Anglo Nigerians should be next by population.
forget ..it they can't keep all....

Geestunnar:
. The guy don dey on top dis matter since way back. No mind am

solonnachi:
The English press are keenly watching. They may want to give the boy conditions by the actions of Pinnick. Early confidence & utterances in the media will not help us in this issue. Sha, like you said, its a family thing

hardwerk:
i see zambia completely disgracing nigeria and snatching the ticket ....scenes would be scary
